Hello Philippe,

The 7TDMI is a core that does not have an MMU or cache. As such, I don't
think it would make a very good development platform for a BSD operating
system. It was very much intended for use in deeply embedded products.
They also tend to run very slowly - most of the ones I have here are 16
MHz.

If the board is made by ARM, it is probably a PID development board. As
for needing the ICE, you don't if you have a development environment
that supports the board and a PROM programmer to burn an initial image
into the boot device. As an example, the Tornado/VxWorks product from my
employer supports this board without any need for an ICE. You simply
plug in the supplied boot ROM, and then use the network and/or serial
port for development.

HTH,

John...
