Pi Pico Programmer for the eZ80 module

[Dean Netherton]

Made a little thing to help with programming my eZ80 CPU module.  

Wiring up a pico by hand was always fraught with danger.  So made a proper mounting PCB.

If I ever get the time, I would love to update the pico software to do full on-chip debugging
---- how hard could it be?

Is the protocol similar to the one ARM uses? If so, the Raspberry Pi folks may have done some of the heavy lifting already.

Hi Dylan,

I think that is completely different.

I assume that debug-probe is for debugging arm cpus - I want to debug Zilog eZ80 cpu - as per their smart cable/ZDS solution over their proprietary ZDI interface.

The blog cocoacrumbs (https://www.cocoacrumbs.com/blog/2023-01-01-reading-zilogs-lod-file-format/) has a few interesting articles on using the ZDS/debugger and trying to understand the proprietary files - - to be honest - i think a full in-line debugger of c code - would be quite a stretch.

hi Dean, interesting that intel i960 doc is noted there, interesting :-)
