Executing the init sequence after starting insight improves the situation.
But there are still problems like losing focus in source,
register changes are not displayed ...
I get the impression that there is a general problem with bdm and gdb...
I contacted Thomas Elter from embeddedtools.net (they sell the microcross
gcc based cross-tools) and got this answer:

He offers a Abatron BDI2000 and an other BDM interface from Cybertec
Ok. BDI2000 uses tcp/ip remote debugging. But the bdm inteface from cybertec?
There should be no big difference between this one and the P&E device?
Both using parallel port.
So my question:
Is anybody else using the P&E BDM Interface for Coldfire with Insight/gdb
or can confess the compatibility problems of P&E?
