Hello,

a new compiled Windows version (r247) is available.

The new version r247 is available here:

http://www.yagarto.de/howto/openocd/index.html

Here you will find a small tutorial and the link for the OpenOCD.

Btw, the YAGARTO IDE is updated too and now based on:

  • Eclipse 3.3

  • Eclipse CDT 4.0.2 (new)

  • Zylin plug-in 4.1.14 (new)

The Zylin plug-in can now be updated with the Eclipse “Software Updates”

function too.

Best regards, and a Happy New Year!

Hi,

I am new to OpenOCD I would like to use OpenOCD with the STR9 comStick (USB interface). When I followed the instructions to verify my installation I do not receive any output from openocd-ftd2xx.exe -h (see below). So far I have only installed OpenOCD. Are there some additional executables that I need to install to make openocd-ftd2xx.exe work?

Many thanks,

Adam.

C:>openocd-pp.exe -h

Hello Michael,

Thank you for the new update. My question is how does one perform an upgrade? Do I need to uninstall the previous version and then install the new stuff?

Hello Adam,

Hello ???,

@Adam,

you must get an output for the openocd-ftd2xx command too.

Do you have more than one openocd-ftd2xx.exe on your PC?

@???,

yes, uninstall the old OpenOCD, and install the new one.

Regards,

Michael

Hi Michael,

I only have 1 version of OpenOCD installed. I have also tried to install some of the earlier versions of OpenOCD from the YAGARTO site and these did not work for me either so I have now gone back to the latest version.

I am running Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]. I did a search on my PC for the openocd-ftd2xx.* but I only got 1 result back which is the OpenOCD .exe which I installed in C:\ACRAGGS\openocd-r247\bin. Is there any other software that I need to install to get the openocd-ftd2xx.exe to work? Are there any futher debugging steps I can take?

Do I need to install the FTDI driver? Or is the driver I got with the Hitex STR9-comSTICK based on the FTDI driver?

Many thanks,

Adam.

Hello Adam,

Do I need to install the FTDI driver? Or is the driver I got with the Hitex STR9-comSTICK based on the FTDI driver?

Now this is dificult to answer. I think that the STR9-comSTICK used

his own driver which is based on the FTDI driver itself. I think the

comSTICK had a FT2232 chip on board. Therefore it comes with an own

Vendor and Device ID. In this case you must install the driver from

the comSTICK. But we can check this.

Please take a look here:

http://www.ftdichip.com/Resources/Utilities.htm

Here you will find the program USBView which can show some

information about a USB device. Plug in the comSTICK and

start the USBView. You will get the Vendor and Product ID from

the comSTICK now.

Please show me your cfg file from the OpenOCD too.

Best regards,

Michael

Adam,

btw, take a look at the new OpenOCD Documentation from r247.

Here you will find at section 6.5 a comstick cfg.

Michael
