It sometimes helps to do the math. Figure out how many days of engineering time you would have to save in order to pay for the BDI. In my experience, you've usually got at least one hardware and one software engineer working together to bring a board up, so it really doesn't take long to pay for it. If time to market means anything to your firm, or if others are depending on your completion before they can start working (you are on critical path for schedule), it becomes even easier to justify. We bought a couple, just so that there wouldn't be a problem finding one when you needed it for debug. The background debug is well worth the price. -Bret -- Bret Indrelee QLogic Corporation Bret.Indrelee at qlogic.com 6321 Bury Drive, St 13, Eden Prairie, MN 55346 ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
