Xscale ixp425 and strataflash program via Olimex-USB-JTAG.

I am getting this same communication failure with May 16 2008 svn 657 release.

Error: jtag.c:1368 jtag_examine_chain(): JTAG communication failure, check connection, JTAG interface, target power etc.

Error: jtag.c:1562 jtag_init(): trying to validate configured JTAG chain anyway

Error: jtag.c:1461 jtag_validate_chain(): Error validating JTAG scan chain, IR mismatch, scan returned 0x0000

From searching here I can’t determine what the fix might be.

Other posts suggest that it may be one of …

  1. A bug in release(s) of Openocd where a prior release may work?

How does only change what file( s) to run another version without another install?

  1. Posts indicate it could be a power issue on USB. I have seen a suggestion of buying a power hub to fix that. I doubt it for me with a new

DELL inspiron with usb 2,0

  1. Increasing speed or reset values but that hasn’t worked for me.

Anybody have an xscale board working under openocd? Can you breakpoint or just flash? What is your configuration exactly?
