JTAG beagle bone black with buspirate and openocd

Hello

I am very new to JTAG and i am trying to do the setup for jtag in beaglebone black(BBB) rev c board using buspirate(BP) and openocd.
I have installed the P2 header in BBB manually. I have connected the BBB and BP as follows

JTAG | BP | BBB |

  • | - | - |
    TMS | CS | P2(1) P2 header pin 1 |
    TDI | MOSI | P2(3) |
    VTREF | VPU | P2(5) |
    TDO | MISO | P2(7) |
    TCK | CLK | P2(11) |
    TRST | AUX | P2(2) |
    GRND | GND | P2(10)
    |

I am using my user configuration file(BP_userconfig.cfg) for openocd which has following content.

source [find interface/buspirate.cfg]

buspirate_vreg 0
buspirate_mode open-drain
buspirate_pullup 1
reset_config srst_only
buspirate_port /dev/ttyUSB0

source [find board/ti_beaglebone_black.cfg]

Now while running the command sudo openocd -f BP_userconfig.cfg I am getting following error.

lenova@lenova-ThinkPad-T410:~/jiten/JTAG$ sudo openocd -f BP_userconfig.cfg

Does anyone have any idea about this error? and do i need to do anything else in BBB apart from installing P2 header?
Please let me know if i am doing anything wrong.

Thanks in advance.

I haven’t heard of anyone successfully using Openocd on BBB even though I have seen many users try it. I would recommend using Blackhawk USB200 with Code Composer Studio (CCSV7) as it has everything you need to get started.

There are some TI training videos on building/debugging u-boot/spl via JTAG and Code Composer Studio, which appear to be useful, thus far. Granted they appear to be a few year’s old:

There you can also find the links to the other applicable training modules.
