Ooh, cool!  I just had a look at the OpenOCD page and saw "New driver 
for Bus Pirate." Looks like I might be able to save some space in my 
ever-growing box of programming adaptors.

I've found that with pretty well all the similar tools I've used, 
relying on the (Debian) repositories is only going to get out-of-date 
code, and have now taken to building from source straight off. Tends to 
save a lot of heartache and "try the latest version from CVS" when 
things don't work out.

Doh! I read all that when you first posted and forgot it. Guess I should 
RTFM twice ;-)

Thanks for that Eric - I can now lay the blame for my adventures into 
ARM squarely at your door, in the same way that I'm blaming the 
estimable Mr Gravenhorst for my current FPGA obsession ;-)
