Re: [AVaRICE-user] I killed the device JTAG ID

Hi,

For what it's worth - my comments below:

Although handy, having a different program that just does programming has its 
merits as well. Needing to compile and install gdb just to program a devices 
seems a bit excessive to me! Controlling the JTAGs makes great sense to me, 
as you could be programming and debugging at once. But the STK500 for 
example, you could care less about gdb as you can't debug anyway.

Sounds great! Have you considered making it commercial? Might give you a 
little more incentive to finish it. I'd be willing to pay some money (between 
$5 and $30) for a nice GUI, and I'm sure I can't be the only one.

Anyway keep 'er comming, looks like good stuff!
