I have some experience with Unix and FreeBSD, little with the SysV style of
Linux.  I would like to use the gbd-bdm interface.  The gdb-bdm is a device
driver for GNU gdb that interfaces to the parallel port dongle for
Background Debugging of Motorola 683xx processors.

The software I found has two parts.
1)  A module that adds on to gdb -- no problems here!

2)  A kernel based device driver -- BIG problems here.  I am having lots of
trouble compiling it for FreeBSD.  Can't find all the header files and
functions.

Is there hope?
Should I install Linux in stead?
I haven't install FreeBSD yet at work, but will have to install something
soon.
