Hello. (I'm using Insight-GDB and OpenOCD from Yagarto. My JTAG tool is Olimex ARM-USB-OCD. I use configuration and bat-files from Yagarto's LPC2148Test example.) When Insight executes "load" command with elf from LPC2148Test project, the transfer rate is about 500 bytes/s and there is no timeout in OpenOCD. When I'm loading another project (lpc2138_uart0_irq example) in Insight - transfer rate is also ok. But when I'm loading it next time, transfer rate is 240 bytes/s and OpenOCD has "timeout waiting for algorithm" error. I suppose that it's because of some peripherials settings. Can you advise me which LPC2148 registers could influence to this? Can you also explain to me why debugger must program the microcontroller. Can I program it before, and then run debugger without "load" command? Thank you in advance Dmitry

JTAG is entirely independant of the microcontrollers peripherals and registers. It is a vary simple interface. Moreover its clock rate is entirely determined by the host not the target. So I would suggest that it is a host problem. > Can you also explain to me why debugger must program the > microcontroller.

The code (or at least the symbol table) must have been loaded to the debugger so that it can provide source level debugging. That symbol table must also match exactly the code on the target, so if you rebuild the code, you must reload the target. But yes you can simply connect to a target and debug the existing code. If the code is in ROM you cannot set software breakpoints, only hardware breakpoints, and these are a severely limited resource (usually just two). Also if you are debugging code that is copied from ROM to RAM during boot-up, you must set a hardware breakpoint at some point after the code has been copied, this then allows any software breakpoints to be applied (as the copy to RAM will have overwritten them otherwise).

I think, I will not use "load" command for the present. But for me it's strange, how may loading of simple LPC2148Test program may be so healing for the host, so that the rate of following loading of my project increases ten times, up to 3kB/s. Dmitry
I have no idea, and have not used this device, or OpenOCD. I would suggest putting a scope on the TCK line to see what rate it is achieving and whether it is intermittent.
