I've worked with the ColdFire. We used a BGA package, which is not
so much fun for home brewers. It expanded the instructions in the
macro assembler and the compilers just had to DTRT.
It is/was fast.

Why leave money to our children if we don't leave them the Earth?
I love the
Coldfire, but it's probably because of my 68k fetish. Really
nice stuff, but even the Coldfire+ isn't keeping up with ARM development so
well these days.
I've never worked with the ColdFire, but because of my interest in Alpha
Micros I've always been curious (near the end of the 68K Alpha Micro phase
there were ColdFire-based servers produced -- I presume with some sort of
emulation layer for those instructions not supported on ColdFire that were
on, say, the '040). How was it to work with compared to a "stock" 68020 or
'030?
