RE: [avr-gcc-list] New Issues: AVRStudio and debugging with .COF Files

[Ralph Mason]

My experience is that Avarice provides good if not somewhat slow debugging
for me.  I really need to be able to set the JTag speed to about 2Mhz.

It would also be nice if AVARICE didn't download the code every time and
could just connect and debug.

GDB blows away AVRStudio in power but not in ease of use if you've never
used it before.

Some stuff that would be cool would be if it would save one HW bp for single
stepping so when you step over a statement it's fast.

Thanks for your work.

Ralph
