OpenOCD is an open source JTAG software which interfaces using cheap JTAG dongles (e.g. with FTDI chip) to OMAP3 JTAG interface. Having OpenOCD ARM Cortex-A8 OMAP3 support will enable JTAG debugging with GDB.

I'm new to the ARM platform, but I've got experience doing embedded development on PICs, AVRs, Motorola, etc for a long time in a Windows world. I'm trying to set up the Eclipse/GCC environment using the Lynch tutorial on a Vista 64 machine (with Olimex LPC2378STK dev board) and I'm finding out that JTAG Tutorial The IEEE-1149.1 standard, also known as JTAG or boundary-scan, has for many years provided an access method for testing printed circuit board assemblies, in-system-programming, and more. But what is JTAG, and how can it be used to benefit organizations in diverse industries across all phases of the product life cycle? Configuring OpenOCD for JTAG debugging March 25, 2014 arm, openocd. This tutorial explains various OpenOCD settings and shows how to configure it to use your JTAG programmer and board. Before you begin please follow this tutorial to setup a basic VisualGDB project with OpenOCD. Fork of OpenOCD. Contribute to arduino/OpenOCD development by creating an account on GitHub. Fork of OpenOCD 7,292 OpenOCD! ===== OpenOCD provides on-chip programming and debugging support with a layered architecture of JTAG interface and TAP support including: - (X)SVF playback to JTAG is more than debugging and programming. You may be familiar with JTAG because you have used tools with a JTAG interface. Processors often use JTAG to provide access to their debug/emulation functions and all FPGAs and CPLDs use JTAG to provide access to their programming functions. JTAG Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) is the common name for the IEEE Source Level Debug using OpenOCD/GDB/Eclipse on Intel 3. Flyswatter 2 4. ARM-JTAG-20-10 Adapter 5. JTAG Port 6.
