Hello, First post to this forum. I am a newbie with ARM processors and have a lot of questions... :-) For some days I am playing with an Olimex SAM7-MT-256 board, on a linux development platform. I have a "problem" with the identification of the processor, which is an AT91SAM7S256. Whatever was the jtag software I used (openocd or urjtag), I got 0X3F0F0F0 as ID CODE where I am expecting 0x05B0903F, if I well understand the page 56 of the AT91SAM7 Preliminary document (http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/6175s.pdf). I asked Olimex who answered that this is normal as I got the ARM ID CODE and not the ATMEL ID CODE. This susprises me. For example, I guess that urjtag relies on the part/manufacturer code to autoconfigure. Please, could somebody owning the same board or an other one confirm the ID code he gets, or explains me where I am wrong ? The jtag cable is an olimex ARM-USB-TINY-H. Sincerely yours Dominique
Try to follow the code in the function at91sam7_read_part_info of OpenOCD which shows how the model can be identified: http://openocd.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=openocd/openocd;a=blob_plain;f=src/flash/nor/at91sam7.c;hb=HEAD
Hello, Martin Thomas wrote: > Try to follow the code in the function at91sam7_read_part_info of > OpenOCD which shows how the model can be identified: Thanks for this suggestion. But if I correctly understand this code, it refers to the CIDR register (as described on §9.5 on page 32 of the AT91SAM7 Preliminary (1)) and not the JTAG ID Code Register (as described on §12.5.5 on page 56 of the same document). The CIDR is Atmel specific (value 0x270B0942) when the JTAG ID Code Register is JTAG standardized (0x05B0903F). From what I understand from the data provided with the urjtag software, this JTAG ID Code may help to auto-configure the software : the 0x05B0903F value is correctly referenced in this data (2). The problem is that the AT91SAM7S256 on the Olimex board seems to provide the 0x30F0F0F JTAG ID Code, which is a generic ARM code (always guessed from the urjtag MANUFACTURERS data). Clearly I am confused, but I do not know why : - do I misunderstand the use of the JTAG ID Code ? - do I misuse the jtag software (both openocd and urjtag provide the same JTAG ID Code) or the jtag cable ? - is there a bug somewhere (software of hardware) ? I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestion. Especially, could somebody recommend a good primer to JTAG, field in which I am completely novice ? Sincerely yours. (1) By the way, is there an acronym to refer to this document ? (2) I am unable to find the same kind of data in the openocd software
In order to enable IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan test controller inside AT91SAM7S devices, JTAGSEL pin should be tied high. JTAGSEL pin selects whether ARM JTAG ICE debug controller (JTEGSEL = 0) or IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan test controller (JTAGSEL=1) is enabled and connected to JTAG TAP (test access port) pins (TDI, TCK, TMS, TDO). By default JTAGSEL is internally pulled low, so ARM JTAG ICE debug logic is selected and that is why your chip is detected with ARM JTAG ICE IDCODE. I successfully did boundary-scan testing on similar chip (AT91SAM7S64) with JTAGSEL=1 using TopJTAG Probe http://www.topjtag.com software. When JTAGSEL=1, this software detected this chip's manufacturer as ATMEL and IDCODE was the same as in datasheet and BSDL file.

Knowing what to look for I finally found some information in the Atmel documentation. > > I successfully did boundary-scan testing on similar chip (AT91SAM7S64) > with JTAGSEL=1 using TopJTAG Probe http://www.topjtag.com software. On the SAM7-MT-256 board, the JTAGSEL pin could be set high with a jumper. I tried and succesfully got the Atmel identification of the AT91SAM7S256, with urjtag software and ARM-USB-TINY-H jtag cable. I have not yet tried openocd. Great thanks for your help. Dominique.
I am also new to Arm programming, I was having the same issue and you helped me fix my issue. I was getting ID 0x05b0903f with openOCD on my Olimex sam7-P256 dev board. I removed the BDS Jumper and OpenOCD connected without errors. Also, I have the Tiny-H jtag as well and had to add 'jtag_khz 15000' to my openocd cfg file above the 'jtag newtap ...' Hope this might help others in the future :)
