U-Boot 2009.01-dirty (Feb 19 2009 - 12:23:21) Board revision C. Pandaboard. BeagleBoardOpenOCD.
This page is about how to use open source OpenOCD JTAG software with BeagleBoard and Linux.
With this, it will be possible to have OMAP3 JTAG debug using cheap JTAG hardware, e.g. Flyswatter. As of September 2009, OpenOCD has basic support for OMAP3 and ARM Cortex A8 on Beagle Board. Cortex A8 support is in early alpha stage, a lot is still missing. But e.g. processor halt, resume, step, breakpoints and ARM disassembly of non-Cache and non-MMU (e.g. Status: You need at least OpenOCD revision 2770 (using git). To be able to use OpenOCD with OMAP3 based BeagleBoard, make sure that your JTAG Dongle supports: 1.8V devices.
Flyswatter dongle supports both requirements. OpenOCD build instructions describe how to build OpenOCD. Get OpenOCD code via git: > git clone openocd For Flyswatter you additionally need libftd2xx or libFTDI. If you downloaded OpenOCD git and have libftd2xx or libFTDI, build OpenOCD (assuming you extracted/built FTDI library already): > cd openocd > . make pdf or make html. Open On-Chip Debugger. ARM - EmbDev.net. By Andreas Schwarz ARM is a company that develops processor cores.
ARM does not produce any silicon itself, but licenses the IP (intellectual property) to semiconductor manufacturers who integrate the core with peripherals and RAM. Architectures The ARM7(TDMI) was the first ARM architecture that gained widespread use in small to medium-size microcontrollers. The extension TDMI indicates support for an additional, 16 bit instruction set, called Thumb. The first company to offer small ARM7-based microcontrollers was Philips (today NXP) with the LPC2000 series, which is still popular especially among hobbyists because of the wide availability and the easy to use serial-port bootloader. The ARM7TDMI has a few disadvantages, though. ARM7-based controllers are available from many manufacturers, for example NXP (LPC2000), Atmel (AT91SAM7*), ADI (ADUC7000), ST (STR7). ARM Cortex-M4 The Cortex-M4 is a Cortex-M3 with DSP Instructions, and optional floating-point unit (FPU).
