Hi,

Im after some advice regarding ICE.

I would like to be able to use MCU’s from Atmel and Philips with ARM7, 9 cores (possibly the Analogue Devices ARM7

MCU’s), so Im after a fairly generic solution.

I would like to use the GNU tool suite (as cost is an issue - cant really spend over £200 ← UK prices dont seem kind).

I have read through a few sites and the two options seems to be:

  • J-Link[1] (please let me know if its cheaper anywhere else).

  • OCD from Olimex[2].

  • Amontec JTAGkey[3]

What ICE do people have and what would people recommend?

Also for those using the Jlink with GDB, is it free? Or are there different versions?

Thanks for any advice!

Hello,

take a look at the JTAGkey-Tiny too:

It has a very good price for the beginner.
