It looks like you forgot to select the JTAG interfaces you want during ./configure: ```auto Optional Features: --disable-FEATURE do not include FEATURE (same as --enable-FEATURE=no) --enable-FEATURE[=ARG] include FEATURE [ARG=yes] --enable-parport Enable building the pc parallel port driver --enable-parport_ppdev Enable use of ppdev (/dev/parportN) for parport --enable-ft2232_libftdi Enable building support for FT2232 based devices using the libftdi driver --enable-ft2232_ftd2xx Enable building support for FT2232 based devices using the FTD2XX driver --enable-amtjtagaccel Enable building the Amontec JTAG-Accelerator driver --enable-ep93xx Enable building support for EP93xx based SBCs --enable-at91rm9200 Enable building support for AT91RM9200 based SBCs --enable-gw16012 Enable building support for the Gateworks GW16012 JTAG Programmer --enable-presto_libftdi Enable building support for ASIX Presto Programmer using the libftdi driver --enable-presto_ftd2xx Enable building support for ASIX Presto Programmer using the FTD2XX driver --enable-usbprog Enable building support for the usbprog JTAG Programmer --enable-oocd_trace Enable building support for the OpenOCD+trace ETM capture device --enable-parport_giveio Enable use of giveio for parport instead of ioperm ``` For the ARM-USB-OCD you need at least --enable-ft2232\_ftd2xx or --enable-ft2232\_libftdi (depending on which FTDI FT2232 access library you want).

I’ve tried that also after ./configure --enable-ft2232\_libftdi and when i type make i get the following error.

Well, did you install libftdi along with its headers (usually there’s a lib\* package and a lib\*-dev containing the headers)? Regards, Dominic ---

installed libftdi along with its headers now getting the following error Info: openocd.c:82 main(): Open On-Chip Debugger (2006-10-12 18:00 CEST) Error: ft2232.c:1433 ft2232\_init(): unable to open ftdi device:device not found ---

Change the device description ft2232\_device\_desc “Olimex OpenOCD JTAG A” to ft2232\_device\_desc “Olimex OpenOCD JTAG” The " A" is a “hack” used by the windows version of FTD2XX to select channel A or channel B. Regards, Dominic ---

Your configuration file told the OpenOCD to reset all connected targets at startup: daemon\_startup reset Then it stated that your target should reset in “run\_and\_init” mode, i.e. after reset it’s allowed to run for some time, then halted and initialized using a target\_script. The target\_script line specified that target #0 should execute the script.ocd after a reset. That’s what happened - apparently you wrote something to your uCs flash. It’s not clear to me if this is what you wanted, or if this was a question at all. Regards, Dominic ---

could u send me cfg file and script file for AT91SAM7S256, ARM-USB-OCD. ---

Hi, sorry, but I really don’t understand what your problem is. Your .cfg file and the script you used worked perfectly fine, the file main.bin was apparently successfully written to your target’s flash. Maybe I could help you if you told me what you expected to see. If you didn’t want to write to flash, but rather debug your application, you should just change the “target … run\_and\_init” to “target … run\_and\_halt”. This tells the OpenOCD to just halt without executing a reset script. You can then connect using either a telnet session to localhost port 4444 or via GDB to port 3333. Regards, Dominic ---

Hi, Thanks for ur replies, i got it working now. Ijust wanted to know one thing .How many days did u spend on developing OpenOCD? Regards, Ravi
