Is it possible to debug a MCBSTR9 using the serial port?

Hello,
I was wondering whether that is possible, maybe using some kind of monitor program like monitor 166?
While I am on that subject, are there limitations on the tool chain / hardware used to program the board? Can I use an eclipse tool in combination with another programmer and a GNU compiler, for example?

    Yes, of course it is possible - but why on earth would you want to take such a backward step when there's JTAG available??!!

    Of course not - the chip remains the same whether it's on a Keil board or any other board!

  • Andy,
    Thanks for your reply. Is there a ready application out there to do that? The source of my question is, oddly enough (perhaps) - curiosity. I just ordered such a board to play with, and I'm trying to collect as much data as I can about the architecture and the processor before actually receiving it.
