Debugging on DaVinci using Amontec JTAGkey

From Texas Instruments Embedded Processors Wiki

The following page gives a short introduction on how to debug DaVinci devices using Amontec JTAGkey dongle.

The tutorial is based on the DaVinci target board called DM355 EVM. The JTAGkey Emulator are available from e.g. www.amontec.com.

This information reflects old versions of OpenOCD, pre-dating its first (0.1.0) release. See the OpenOCD page for more current information about using the DM355 configuration file now included with OpenOCD. FT2232 based adapters from many vendors work much the same in OpenOCD.

The Amontec JTAGkey pinout is fully compatible with ARM Multi-ICE 20-pin header. The DM355 EVM has a standard ARM 20-pin connector and you can plug any standard ARM JTAG if you configure the scan chain properly:

• Set the EMU0 and EMU1 pins to Low. This will put the SoC on the following configuration:

IcePick (IRLen 6) - ARM (IRLen 6) - ETB (IRLen 4)

• Run the openocd with the configuration script (see below):

openocd -f dm355.cfg

Now you can telnet to the OpenOCD session or attach it to gdb as documented on the OpenOCD (On-Chip Debugger) project.

DM355.cfg:

gdb_port 3333
telnet_port 4444
