JTAG Debugging With Insight & Linux

As indicated in James Lynch’s tutorial, Insight, OCDRemote and the Olimex Wiggler clone don’t work very well. So…

I am in the process of evaluating the wisdom of moving my Arm development to Linux and I have built the required tools but I think I am missing a piece.

What do I need to connect between Insight and the Olimex Wiggler clone given that OCDRemote doesn’t support the Wiggler under Linux?

Thanks!

If you’re interested, have a look at http://openocd.berlios.de.

I’ve successfully tested the latest revision with an Olimex H2294 board, the Olimex ARM-JTAG interface, a modified version of James Lynch’s Led-Blink example for LPC2106 and the current “bare metal” GNU toolchain from CodeSourcery.

Upload to target RAM via GDB worked, and I’ve been able to step through the source code and the assembly. Breakpoints work both in flash and in RAM.

I’m sure there are still bugs left, but I’m actively working on the project, so all reported bugs will be resolved as soon as possible. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
