The debugger uses an IEEE 1149-1 compliant JTAG TAP bus master to access on-chip
|
|
debug functionality available on ARM7 and ARM9 based microcontrollers /
|
|
system-on-chip solutions.
|
|
|
|
User interaction is realized through a telnet command line interface and a gdb
|
|
(The GNU Debugger) remote protocol server.
|
|
|
|
1. JTAG hardware
|
|
|
|
Currently, OpenOCD supports three types of JTAG interfaces:
|
|
|
|
- Parallel port wigglers. These devices connect to a PC's parallel port,
|
|
providing direct access to the JTAG lines. The OpenOCD contains descriptions
|
|
of a few Wiggler layouts, including the original 'Wiggler' design. Other
|
|
layouts (i.e. mapping of parallel port pins to JTAG lines) can be added easily.
|
|
Typical Wiggler speeds are around 12kByte/s code download to an ARM7's RAM.
|
|
|
|
- The Amontec JTAG Accelerator. This is a configuration for Amontec's Chameleon
|
|
dongle, a parallel port interface based on a Xilinx CoolRunner CPLD. It uses
|
|
the IEEE1284 EPP parallel port specification, providing many times the
|
|
performance achievable with wiggler-style devices. Additional information is
|
|
available on www.amontec.com.
|
|
Typical JTAG Accelerator speeds are around 120-160kByte/s to an ARM7's RAM.
|
|
|
|
- FTDI FT2232 based USB devices. The FT2232 (but not FT232 or FT245) features a
|
|
multi-protocol synchronous serial engine (MPSSE) that can be used to run the
|
|
serial JTAG protocol. There are several implemenations of FT2232 based devices:
|
|
|
|
* USBJTAG: http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~hhoegl/proj/usbjtag/usbjtag.html
|
|
The USBJTAG was designed by Prof. Hubert Hoegl to provide a high-speed USB
|
|
interface for use with the OpenOCD. Schematics are available at the USBJTAG
|
|
website, and a homebrew device can easily be built using the FTDI evaluation
|
|
module DLP2232M.
|
|
|
|
* Amontec JTAGkey: www.amontec.com
|
|
The Amontec JTAGkey offers support for a wide variety of target voltages from
|
|
1.4V to 5V. It also allows the JTAG lines and reset signals to be tri-stated,
|
|
allowing easy interfacing with a wide variety of targets.
|
|
|
|
* Olimex ARM-USB-OCD: www.olimex.com
|
|
The Olimex ARM-USB-OCD offers support for a wide vriety of target voltages from
|
|
2.0V to 5V. It also allows targets to be powered from the ARM-USB-OCD and
|
|
features and additional RS232 UART.
|
|
|
|
* eVerve Signalyzer: www.signalyzer.com
|
|
The Signalyzer offers support for a wide variety of target voltages from 1.2V to
|
|
5.5V. A second connector provides access to a TTL level UART.
|
|
|
|
All FT2232 based devices may be accessed using either FTDI's proprietary FTD2XX
|
|
library (www.ftdichip.com) or using an open-source replacement from
|
|
http://www.intra2net.com/de/produkte/opensource/ftdi/index.php, also included
|
|
with many Linux distributions.
|
|
|
|
2. Supported cores
|
|
|
|
This version of openocd supports the following cores:
|
|
|
|
- ARM7TDMI(-s)
|
|
- ARM9TDMI
|
|
- ARM920t
|
|
- ARM922t
|
|
- ARM966e
|
|
|
|
Support for Intel XScale CPUs (PXA25x, PXA27x and IXP4xx) is currently being
|
|
developed.
|
|
|
|
The OpenOCD is only tested with little-endian targets, but support for
|
|
big-endian is planned. If you're interested in helping with this (and you
|
|
happen to have a big-endian ARM7/ARM9 system, feel free to contact
|
|
Dominic.Rath <at> gmx.de.
|
|
|
|
3. Host platforms
|
|
|
|
OpenOCD was originally developed on x86-Linux, but has since then been ported
|
|
to run on Windows/Cygwin, native Windows with MinGW, FreeBSD, x86-64-Linux and
|
|
(though it's not fully working yet) PowerPC OS-X.
