Within theses chips and ColdFire, Infineon XE166 does not seem to have gcc support. So even though they have free DAS JTAG server which supports cheap USB Jtag tools, it may not be that effective to offer OpenOCD support. ftp://ftp.extra.infineon.com/MC_Skits_SW/UC-UConnect_XE164/Tools/DAS/DAS_Product_Brief_v1_0.pdf M16C and H8/H8S do have gcc support. But I do not know if there are any cheap non-Renesas debugging tools for them. Renesas tools are getting cheaper though. I even got a free M16C Tiny kit (a USB debugger and a startkit board) from them just by visiting their website and put in some contact information. I am not familiar with Fujitsu and NEC MCUs. So I will vote for PIC32 support first (being a Microchip fan and since the support is more or less in place), then MSP430/AVR32/AVR support, then ColdFire support. But of course the priority should be to get ARM stable with different cores. ST, TI/Luminary, Atmel, NXP (No 6 to 10) are all ARM MCU Vendors. -- Xiaofan http://mcuee.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
