Problem with rev. 88 + Olimex USB JTAG + AT91SAM7S256

Hi,

I have compiled openocd rev. 88 on Mac OS X and try to flash a AT91SAM7S256. I get a connection to the processor, but flash writing fails with “unknown error” and the result from “flash info 0” looks weird:

> flash info 0 
#1: at91sam7 at 0x00000000, size 0x00000000, buswidth 0, chipwidth 0

at91sam7 information:
cidr: 0x40090d27, arch: 0x0000, eproc: [b]ARM946-E[/b], version:0x007,  flashsize: 0xffffffff
master clock(estimated): 32kHz 
securitybit: 0, nvmbits: 0x0

(if only it were a 946-E…)

My config:

telnet_port 4444
gdb_port 3333
interface ft2232
ft2232_device_desc "Olimex OpenOCD JTAG A"
ft2232_layout olimex-jtag
ft2232_vid_pid 0x15ba 0x0003
jtag_speed 5
reset_config none
jtag_device 4 0x1 0xf 0xe
daemon_startup reset
target arm7tdmi little run_and_init 0 arm7tdmi
run_and_halt_time 0 30
working_area 0 0x40000000 0x4000 nobackup
flash bank at91sam7 0 0 0 0 0

Debug log of “flash info”:

Any ideas?

OpenOCD is still broken on big-endian hosts.

Thank you for your log file, this is going to help me identify problems with endianess.

Please let me know if I can do anything else to help.

Hello Andreas,

SVN revision 92 should support big-endian hosts, at least I’ve fixed all the issues I saw while going through the code. Would be nice if you could give the current code a test, and reply back if you find any problems.

Regards,

Hi,

I tried rev. 98 today. Flashing kind of works, but is very slow and it often fails with this error message:
