5.7. Open Source BDM Devices

Open Source BDM (OSBDM) devices are supported. The OSBDM device type partitions the device-url as follows:

osbdm:[//number/]

The number indicates the number of the OSBDM interface to connect to, counting from zero upwards. If the number is omitted, the default is to connect to the zeroth interface, which works well if you have only one OSBDM device connected to your computer.

There are no further options for the OSBDM device.

If you are connecting via OSBDM from Windows, you may see a message like:

m68k-linux-gnu-sprite:error: Cannot load OSBDM library 'OSBDM-JM60.DLL'

If this happens, you must install the driver for the OSBDM device. You can obtain the driver from the vendor of your OSBDM device.

As of this writing, there is not yet an OSBDM driver available for Linux hosts.
