[ECOS] RE: New to multi/embeddedICE

["Kovitz, Paul" <kovitzP at sharpsec dot com>]

I am also new to the Multi-ICE. However, as I understand it, unlike the old
EmbeddedICE unit, the EPI JEENI, etc., the Multi-ICE hardware has almost no
intelligence in it. The intelligence lives inside a piece of software called
the Multi-ICE server. The server talks to client programs via Remote
Procedure Call (RPC) protocol. This protocol is not compatible with RDI. See
chapter 2 of your Multi-ICE manual.

A possible workaround for now is to use the latest version of the ARM
debugger. I have been told that with some (somewhat harsh) limitations, the
ARM debugger can debug the elf images produced by gcc 2.95.2 and binutils
2.10.
