Has anyone managed to get the TinCanTools Flyswatter working with the
XM? I did with the original Beagle, but upstream OCD does this with XM:
[jcm@constitution openocd]$ sudo /usr/local/bin/openocd
-s /usr/local/lib/openocd
-f /usr/local/share/openocd/scripts/interface/flyswatter.cfg
-f /usr/local/share/openocd/scripts/board/ti_beagleboard_xm.cfg
The following is posted for the benefit of those using Google. It is a
complete summary of this issue so I hope you find this mail first when
you have the same problem and find my messages in the archives 
Antonio Borneo graciously provided me with an answer and I have finally
had chance to followup with some testing! It works As Antonio notes,
the problem is caused by some fixup logic that was added as part of some
otherwise excellent patches from Marek Vasut. In the patch:
commit 0649fb2f6c7e1bea138769ecc2ec8dc17ae98044
Author: Marek Vasut <marek.vasut@gmail.com>
ADIv5: Introduce function to detect ROM Table location
This patch adds function called "dap_detect_debug_base()", which
should be called to get location of the ROM Table. By walking ROM
Table, it's possible to discover the location of DAP.
Sadly, some CPUs misreport this value, therefore I had to introduce
an fixup table, which will be used in case such CPU is detected.

Some logic is added to detect CPU cores that report an incorrect ARM DAP
(Debug Access Port, exposed behind something called an ICEPick which
sits on the JTAG chain and allows devices to come and go - I'm still
figuring all of this out in the case of the Cortex parts). The problem
is that the iMX51 actually *DOES* correctly report the location of its
DAP and so does not need to be fixed up! As Antonio points out, the
simple fix is to comment out the following loop in
src/target/arm_adi_v5.c (reformatted for reading):
#if 0 /* JCM - comment out this for the moment (for BeagleBoard-xM) */
/* Some CPUs are messed up, so fixup if needed. */
for (i = 0; i < sizeof(broken_cpus)/sizeof(struct broken_cpu); i++)
if (broken_cpus[i].dbgbase == dbgbase &&
broken_cpus[i].apid == apid) {
LOG_WARNING("Found broken CPU (%s), trying to fixup "
"ROM Table location from 0x%08x to 0x%08x",
broken_cpus[i].model, dbgbase,
broken_cpus[i].correct_dbgbase);
dbgbase = broken_cpus[i].correct_dbgbase;
break;
}
#endif
(don't forget to comment out the "unsigned int i;" to avoid the gcc
error that will be generated with the default flags used by OpenOCD).
This will prevent the DAP fixup logic from incorrectly being used. There
is still no fix for this in OpenOCD master but I suspect some specific
hack can be added to make that broken_cpus table more specific, or to
have known-good models such as the one on BeagleBoard-xM be excluded.
NOTE: It is important to physically reset the Flyswatter after you patch
and re-install a working OpenOCD. Do not simply run it or you will see:
[jcm@constitution ~]$ sudo /usr/local/bin/openocd
-s /usr/local/lib/openocd
-f /usr/local/share/openocd/scripts/interface/flyswatter.cfg
-f /usr/local/share/opocd/scripts/board/ti_beagleboard_xm.cfg

Then the LED3 will also remain on and the Flyswatter won't work until
you unplug and reset it. After doing that, with a modified OpenOCD
otherwise based upon v0.4.0-651-gc6e0705 (today) with only the single

I still have a few problems with it. For example, I have to do a "reset
halt" immediately in order to be able to halt the CPU, but after doing
that I am able to read from the registers. I would love to know of other
people's experiences as to what does and doesn't work at the moment,
especially current opinions on the debugability of a Linux kernel.
