I know this will likely not reach the original author but hopefully someone will see this and know something about it..
To the OP: did you ever find answers?
To anyone/everyone who sees this: I have an avocent cyclades alterpath ACS8 ((ATP0120-001) the processor is of course the venerable MPC855T and it has test points clearly labeled BDM but I haven't been able to find any information as to connecting to this interface with the end goal being installation of a different linux kernel/distro or at least learning what I can in the process. If anyone has any information please let me know.
