OpenOCD + ARM-USB-OCD + LPC-P2148 Not working. [Solved]

Development Boards MicroMod
1

Hi All,

Hopefully someone can come to my rescue. I’m not even really sure where to start looking for the answer to this problem. I’m using the Olimex Eclipse + OpenOCD for dummies CD that came with the ARM-USB-OCD debugger.

At first I installed this on my PC, and had no luck. Then I tried my Laptop, downloaded the demo files from the Olimex website http://www.olimex.com/dev/soft/arm/proj … se_web.rar And hey presto! It worked. Little blinking LED’s.

Unfortunately, still no luck with the PC. Oh well I say, will just have to do all the work on the laptop. Set it up on the desk, get settled for a long session of coding… But no, now it’s not working either!!! I can’t get my head around it. How could it just stop working?

Below is the error output (From OpenOCD) when I try and run the P2148_flash demo provided:

Doesn’t seem particularily helpful to me but maybe it is to someone else? Or if there’s somewhere else I should be looking for clues please let me know.

Hello Shane,

Info: openocd.c:82 main(): Open On-Chip Debugger (2006-08-31 15:00 CEST)

You have an very old OpenOCD :!:

Take a look here: http://www.yagarto.de/

Here you will find a new version for windows and some tutorials how

to work with OpenOCD and the toolchain.

Before you try to use Eclipse, please test if Insight is working.

At this page http://www.yagarto.de/howto/yagarto1/index.html you will

find some small examples and a howto for Insight.

Best regards,

Michael

I had problems with ARM-USB-OCD on a LPC-P2148 too, I had to increase the “jtag_speed” value in lpc2xxx_armusbocd.cfg. The default value is 2, I am using 5 now.

BTW I used the versions present in the Olimex CD, so it is the same you are using.

Mifi,

Cheers for pointing me in the direction of the Yagarto page and howto. Got all that installed and have been able to run the demo programs without any hassles what-so-ever. Thanks.

Now I just need to get my poor noob mind around getting my own projects going :slight_smile:

It is a shame the Olimex stuff doesn’t work straight out of the box though!

-Shane.

Hey Mifi,

The examples on the Yagarto page are great for RAM debug, just wondering if you could point me to anywhere to work out how to use Eclipse/Insight for ROM loading/debug?

Cheers,

-Shane.
