Hi, Has anyone ever used BoxView Debugger from Domain Technologies? What are the advances or improvements does Boxview have over Debug-56K? Does anyone know any other debugger for Motorola DSP? Thanks in advance. Henry. |

As far as I know the BoxView Debugger supports remote debugging by TCP/IP protocol as well as debugging connected to Mot's OnCE port directly. I have tried this debugging tool several years ago but stuck to Domain Technologies' Debug-56k since I have got used to that tool. A year or so later Domain technologies bought the company (I think their name was SoftBox) and replaced their own Debug-56K debugger by the BoxView toolchain (The price is also the same as it was for the Debug-56k box). Today you can buy a simple 'Wiggler' adaptor called DSPCOMMPARALLEL for $150 directly from a Motorola distributor which is to be connected to the PC's parallel printer port and download their debugging software from their website http://www1.motorola-dsp.com/software/software.taf?type=releases (The CD-ROM was _not_ included in the box I purchased). I have tried this debugging tool with the EVM56303DSP evaluation board and it worked well. The same software can be used with a PCI-card based ($2000) or ethernet debugger($3000 or so, but even Motorola does not recommend this tool). I hope I could help you a little bit...

Christian- We have used a Wiggler for some MPC8240 work. Very slow and we find that a traditional PCI card is still preferable, but for some basic stuff it's Ok. Do you know if there is a Wiggler available for Texas Inst. C54xx processors?
