Hi ,

I am trying to get OpenOCD to work with LPC2138 with a parallel port
wiggler.

H-JTAG(also works with giveio.sys) works perfectly with my setup , I
need to set it with
nTRST --> output inverted
nSRST-->"no sysrst"
TCK Speed MAX/1.

I replicated this by using
parport_cable wiggler_ntrst_inverted
jtag_speed 8 in the openOCD_lpc2138_wiggler.cfg.

When I try compiling and flashing I get :
Programming with OPENOCD
openocd_go_flash.cmd
Info:    openocd.c:93 main(): Open On-Chip Debugger (2007-09-05 09:00

Error:   arm_jtag.c:38 arm_jtag_set_instr_error_handler(): setting the

Any newbie errors I am making ?

As far as I know H-JTAG installs it's own direct port-access driver but
I have not used H-JTAG since several months

It seems that the configuration is outdated. "reject flash bank" does
not look good. Could you try with a configuration files from the openocd
target library: interface/parport.cfg and target/lpc2148.cfg? Also try
to increase the debug-level.

Hello Martin,

I am using your example from here :
http://www.siwawi.arubi.uni-kl.de/avr_projects/arm...
Let me try the configuration file from the source you mentioned.

I managed to get get OpenOCD to flash the program for me,with a few
issues.

1) JTAG cannot detect the board unless I manually reset the board once
after power up.After this it works fine,till I power off the board.Then
I need to do the "manual reset once",once again.

2) After loading the firmware in ROM ,the board executes the program
,but I get the following message :

Press any key to continue . . .

I then exit this using "Stop Tools".Meanwhile the program is already
executing on the board
I have attached the OpenOCD files from my setup.

Hi ,

Just managed to get OpenOCD working for debugging partially.
i.e. I am able to single step through the code. Now my problem is when I
read the value of a variable ( by parking the mouse over it) , I get :
for example

741-data-evaluate-expression ptr
741^error,msg="Cannot access memory at address 0x40005660"

Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong ?

Did you try with the gdb command set mem inaccessible-by-default off ?
See
http://openocd.berlios.de/doc/html/GDB-and-OpenOCD...
for further information.

I tried this :

target remote localhost:3333
set mem inaccessible-by-default off
monitor soft_reset_halt
monitor sleep 500
monitor arm7_9 force_hw_bkpts enable
symbol-file lpcspi.elf
load
thbreak main
continue

It now seems to work as expected.Will do more trials and revert back.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and the results of your efforts.

Thomas
