JTAG support state

Hi,

I have seen that openOCD doesn’t support the beagleboard yet.
Do you know if it should be supported soon, if it works partially or if it will work … some day ?
By the way I have a Flyswatter Jtag (which if I understood well tends to be used by some others …)

cheers,

Maxime

I have seen that openOCD doesn't support the beagleboard yet.
Do you know if it should be supported soon, if it works partially or if it

will work ... some day ?

be used by some others ....)

The last status I have heard is, that we were “waiting” for openOCD to
integrate proper support for inserting/removing cores from the JTAG chain
"on the fly", as it's done with the ICEPICK in the OMAP devices when the
cores are powered up/down...

This information however is some weeks old and a lot of stuff might have
changed since then - Hopefully? :slight_smile:

Recent status is that OpenOCD developers need some additional info from TI for proper JTAG configuration. They like to wait with further work until they have this info. This is last status I have from January 15, 2009.

Dirk - waiting for OpenOCD & Flyswatter& Beagle, too

P.S.: CCed OpenOCD list

It's been a roller coaster on flat land but
BeagleBoardOpenOCD - eLinux.org describe the status pretty well.

before I finally discovered that the 64 bits version of libftd2xx
was broken. Next week I will get my BeagleBoard back (that might or
might not have a broken JTAG) so I will pick it up again.

Indeed, did you also get the Adapter kit?

greetings

From my side I have lost about 1 month trying different things out
before I finally discovered that the 64 bits version of libftd2xx
was broken. Next week I will get my BeagleBoard back (that might or

I’m not sure of what this is …
This is what I have : http://www.tincantools.com/assets/Quick%20Start.pdf

Hi all,

I am a newbee to debugging,i have a hardware USB JTAG Debugger provided NGX Technologies which has 20 pin standard JTAG Header.
But BB-XM has only 14 pins,so i used a pin-pin connection between BB-XM and Hardware Debugger using Jumper wires between.

1.I have unused EMU0 and EMU1.
2.I have connected TDI of BB-xm to Debugger TDO and vice versa.

i started openocd by changing the tcl/target/amdm37x.cfg cortex-a to cortex-a8 @144

when i run the command on command prompt : openocd -f tcl/interface/ngxtech.cfg -f tcl/board/ti_beagleboard_xm.
cfg -f tcl/target/amdm37x.cfg -c init -c “reset init”
it displays the fallowing log on the console
