GDB-5.2 and Wiggler

[Steven Grunza]

Unfortunately Motorola decided to make the MPC745 debug port OCD instead of 
BDM.  The info needed to talk to the OCD (on chip debug) through the JTAG 
port is only available under NDA.

To make it even more fun the Macraigor Wiggler (an reportedly all of their 
products) does not support the MPC745 in 32-bit data bus mode.  Wanna guess 
in what mode my highly space constrained board is running?  Here's a 
hint:  every other long word is 0 when I dump memory with the Wiggler.... :(

We're currently using Windriver's visionICE but they don't support GDB 
(they have their own protocol to go from their source code debugger to the 
debug box).

Never a dull moment when working on embedded projects...
