-@section MC683xx BDM Support for GDB
+Eric Norum (eric@@skatter.usask.ca) wrote a driver for a parallel
+port interface to a BDM module.  He and Chris John (ccj@@acm.org)
+have put together a package containing everything you need to
+use this.  From the README: "This
+package contains everything you need to be able to run GDB on
+Linux and control a Motorola CPU32+ (68360) or Coldfire (5206) target
+through a standard PC parallel port." Information on this is
+available at the following URL:
+http://www.calm.hw.ac.uk/davidf/coldfire/gdb-bdm-linux.htm.
+
+The efi332 project has a home-built BDM module and gdb driver for 
+Linux.  See http://egi332.eng.ohio-state.edu/efi332/hardware.html)
+for details.
+
+Huntsville Microsystems (HMI) has GDB support for their BDM module
+available upon request.  It is also available from their ftp site:
+ftp://ftp.hmi.com/pub/gdb
+
+The Macraigor OCD BDM module has a driver for Linux
+written by Gunter Magin (Gunter.Magin@@skil.camelot.de).

+Christian Haan <chn@@intego.de> has written a driver for FreeBSD 
+based for"a slightly changed ICD BDM module (because of changes
+in the BDM interface on the PowerPC)" that "probably will work with
+the PD module too."  His work is based on the M68K BDM work by
+Gunter Magin (Gunter.Magin@@skil.camelot.de) and 
+the PPC BDM for Linux work by Sergey Drazhnikov (swd@@agua.comptek.ru).
+This is not yet publicly available.

+
+GDB includes support for a set of primitives to support the Macraigor
+Wiggler (OCD BDM).  Unfortunately, this requires the use of a
+proprietary interface and is supported only on Windows.  This forces
+one to use CYGWIN.  Reports are that this results in a slow
+interface.  Scott Howard (http://www.objsw.com) has announced 
+that support for the gdb+wiggler combination under DJGPP which should
+run significantly faster.
