Re: Problems with olimex (wiggler) jtag and olimex lpc2129 proto board

2005-11-22 by rtstofer

Eclipse -> Insight -> OCDRemote with the ARM-JTAG device from 
Sparkfun does work on Windows XP, more or less.  The less part is 
that it only connects after pounding on it (figuratively) for a 
dozen or more times.  Pretty much what is explained in the tutorial.

However...  What if the LPC didn't have JTAG?  What would you do for 
debugging?  Well, just do that.  I don't have enough pins to leave 
spares for JTAG, the debugger doesn't work often enough to tolerate 
so I just don't bother.  I start by writing basic character IO 
functions, add a string output function and an itoa() function and 
I'm on my way.

It is certainly possible to bring up large embedded systems without 
JTAG.  It is probably easier with it but, sometimes, that't the way 
it goes.

I am using the bootloader at 115.2K baud so programming goes pretty 
quick.
