Re: [Ltib] Toolchain error using ltib - M544X coldfire

[John Wissel]

Hi Jon,

The I am also using the 5445X from Freescale.  I believe the latest release
is the 20090730 which is the 2.6.23 kernel.  The 2007 release was an older
kernel.  Which debugger are you using.  I am using AppTrk and it seems to
work fine.

Regards,
John
