I have used both. The Lauterbach has its own IDE. Personally I didn't like
it, but it did work. The Multi-ICE works with command line GDB (and Insight
or Eclipse if you use them) although I'm not entirely certain of
compatibility with more recent ICE units - I'm not saying it doesn't work,
just that the code hasn't been updated for a while so if they have changed
something, that could be a problem.
