Hello colleagues, I have been able to get my board to communicate with H-JTAG and loaded a program to check the working. I wish to use the de-bugging facility provided with this tool with the WinARM toolchain. Can anyone point me to some documentation(preferable cookbookish :)) I can use to get started? TIA Thomas F

At least the last time I looked at H-JTAG the only debugger-"API" was a RDI-interface provided by a DLL. I'm not sure if the gdb included in the WinARM packages can talk to a "RDI-dll" as in H-JTAG, but I don't think so. You may try the Codesourcery G++ lite package. There is a binary included in this package, I do not recall the exact filename but it should be something like *-sprite.exe. IRC this can be configured to use a RDI-dll and should provide a gdb-server. Sorry, not "cookbokish" but hopefully a hint in the right direction - I have not tested this myself. There is some documentation in the Codesourcery package. As an alternative take a look at OpenOCD, it offers a gdb-server and can "talk" to Wiggler-type JTAG-interfaces.
Hi Martin, I assumed that since H-JTAG was bundled in utils , someone had done the needful. I anyway downloaded it from twentyone's blog. Thanks for responding.

Well, just because a tool is included in the WinARM package it does not mean that it is "fully integrated". The tools just reflect my personal taste and I have included H-JTAG because of the flash-programming support for a lot of targets.
