Dear Wolfgang -
I agree. However my superiors seem to want to spend the
money. Good debugging skills and an easy-to-debug architecture
matter more. I just didn't want us to spend USD$7500 on something
that we could buy for USD$2500 - especially not when the traffic on the list says the BDI2000 is better. But they seem hell-bent on spending the money.

In my experience, this is marketing babble. For the low level stuff ("simple problems"), a good logic analyzer is at least as capable,

and for  the  highlevel  ("complicated")  problems  it  doesn't  work
anyway,  and  a plain BDM/JTAG debugger plus a little brain and a lot

of experience gives beter results.

Just my $ 0.02 - ymmv.

OK, I'll sell you my BDI2000 for $7500 then. :)
