Technically speaking, the Wiggler should do  just  fine.  However,  I
don't  know  what  sort of software comes with it. I think I remember
it's pretty expensive (some 400 $ ?) and for Windoze only.

For the Wiggler? Sorry, I have no idea.

The cheapest solution is probably the BDM4GDB parallel port  adapter,
see   bdm4gdb.sourceforge.net   (if  you  cannot  build  the  adapter
yourself, we sell adapters at production cost - less than $ 50 [which
includes a CD-ROM with pre-build GDB]). But  please  be  aware  that,
depending  on the type of flash chips and the interface (8/16/32 bit)
used, there is a certain risk that you may have to modify  the  flash
programming  code a bit to make it work with your board. See also the
mailing list at bdm4gdb-users at lists.sourceforge.net .

In C we had to code our own bugs, in C++ we can inherit them.
