JTAG debuging
2004-07-20 by lynchzilla
Thanks, Gus, for the nice complement. I plan to develop tutorials on ARM debugging with Eclipse, but it's going to take several weeks. For example, the ECOS site has explicit instructions on how to download and build the ECOS kernel, but they fail on a Windows XP machine with some kind of "firewall" error message. I'm planning to order a Wiggler ($150 US) or a clone thereof in the next couple of days. Seems that there should be two debugging techniques available. First is the Redboot monitor from ECOS that would allow absolutely free debugging over the serial interface. Redboot has the GDB stubs needed by Eclipse. The second method is the JTAG interface which requires hardware and some soldering to the TiniARM board. The Macraigor OCD Commander is listed on their site as freeware and I think it supports the GDB stubs via JTAG also. If there's anyone out there that has solved this, please let me know. I'd be happy to use your information and produce a clear and interesting tutorial on it. Cheers, Jim Lynch
