Remote Debugging with Coldfire

[Steve Holle]

We are using a similar environment.  What I'm really looking for is a way 
of debugging using gdb over the network connection so we don't have to take 
apart the failing unit to install a BDM.  As I understand it, the Coldfire 
MCF5272 allows BDM commands to be executed from the core.  I'm looking at 
librdbg in the RTEMS tree right now but don't know yet if it's been ported 
to the Coldfire and if not, what is involved in doing so.

Anyone out there done this?
