[En-Nut-Discussion] Installing the Unix emulation of Ethernut HOWTO

[Harald Kipp]

I disagree, there is no debugging method which covers all cases. You are 
probably right for testing hardware or timing issues. Testing the latter 
is not always easily done with simple JTAG, but requires real time tracing.

When it comes to testing complicated algorithms, I prefer emulating the 
application on the PC. For example, the Nut/OS heap management or the 
PHAT file system had been tested this way. It saves a lot of time 
because uploading to the target is avoided. Beside that the PC offers 
advanced possibilities to analyze the test results.

Haven't had the time so far to check Michael's patches, but I'm eager to 
do so.
