FX3 JTAG with Olimex ARM-USB-OCD-H

Post by kb3gtn »

The following is a openocd script to use the Olimex ARM-USB-OCD-H with the cypress FX3 chip.
This script is tested with Open On-Chip Debugger 0.6.1 (2012-12-06-17:15) (Ubuntu 13.04 dist package)

OpenOCD quick start with GDB:

Run this in a terminal. It starts a network servers you use:
openocd -f fx3.cfg

You can telnet on port 4444 and get a interactive jtag command console (if you want it)
It also has remote GDB capabilities on port 3333:

GDB Getting started with openOCD
Assuming you have already started openOCD, you can now running the following on another terminal.
From the fx3_firmware directory you should have built a bladeRF.elf file.
<path to cypress arm toolchain>/arm-none-eabi-gdb bladeRF.elf

At the prompt:
(gdb) target remote localhost:3333
then
(gdb) monitor reset halt
Now load the image to the cpu
(gdb) load
Set break points as needed here...
Now start the image
(gdb) continue

Thanks! I have made a similar script based on the example from the cypress fx3 programmer's manual, using a flyswatter2 as the jtag adapter (the latest openocd git provides a flyswatter2.cfg which I used as well).

Code: Select all

set _CHIPNAME fx3
set _ENDIAN little
set _CPUTAPID 0x07926069
#jtag_nsrst_delay 200
#jtag_ntrst_delay 200
jtag_khz 1000
reset_config trst_and_srst srst_pulls_trst
jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME cpu -irlen 4 -ircapture 0x1 -irmask 0xf -expected-id $_CPUTAPID
set _TARGETNAME $_CHIPNAME.cpu
target create $_TARGETNAME arm926ejs -endian $_ENDIAN -chain-position $_TARGETNAME -variant arm926ejs
