I don't have libosbdm for Linux; I assumed Freescale might have released 
OSBDM driver for Linux and you were using it.

IIRC, libosbdm is under LGPL, so you can add debug output to it without 
violating EULA.  We would only welcome efforts to get Linux OSBDM driver 
into usable state.  BTW, adding '-vvv' to sprite command line will 
increase verbosity of sprite output.
