Hmm, WinARM does not include the SAM-BA client-software and I don't
understand what you mean by "OpenOCD (with ARM-GCC)".

Could you please try another example? You should find other examples in
the AT91 yahoo-group file-section or in the WinARM collection at
http://www.siwawi.arubi.uni-kl.de/avr_projects/arm_projects/index_at91.html
. Maybe I have made a mistake in the example for OpenOCD so it just
works with "here" with the AT91SAM7S-EK.

Thanks for the answer, Thomas, but I've just solved my problem. I do not
follow it really well, but I guess the #if and #elif from "Board.h" were
not being recognized in the compilation. I don't know why. But after I
edited the file it worked fine with OpenOCD, though a different reset
script was more stable in my case.

I guess I meant to say I am using WinARM in Windows and the latest
ARM-GCC toolchain available from this website in Linux. The SAM-BA
client was downloaded from Atmel.

Thanks again.
