Best JTAG debugger to use with the Zylin Eclipse plugin

Development Boards MicroMod
1

Hi All,

I want to develop on the NXP LPC17xx range of micros, and I want to use the following tools.

Elipse IDE, Zylin plugin for Eclipse, Code Sourcery G++ compiler suite …

I want to use some fast cheap JTAG hardware and run a GDB server on it which I can talk to with the Zylin GDB plugin.

Can anyone suggest some could options?

I have a LPCXpresso JTAG board, but I don’t know if you can get a GDB server for it, does anyone know?

Many Thanks,

Bernie

EDIT: By the way, this is for developing on a Linux host.

Just been reading up on using OpenOCD as the GDB server, and wonder if someone has the correct init settings to plug into eclipse GDB client to talk to OpenOCD,

there seems to be a number of JTAG devices that are OpenOCD complient.

Thanks,

Anyone alive in this forum?

Maybe it’s because nobody knows…

I am surprised: if you have a LPCXpresso, how comes you don’t use their tool suite? It is also based on Eclipse if I remember well, and then it should have everything you need right off the bat.

Maybe because I am developing on Linux. 8)

The Code Red tools are fine for WinDoze …

Anyway, it looks like the LPCXpresso JTAG is out for OpenOCD as it has a propriety interface …

I have found a cheap (~$20) JTAG interface that is supported by OpenOCD, so will try that out, so now I have

a full development environment for $20 … got to be good. :smiley:
