Hi,
Is it possible to program External Flash device M29W160 using Amontec JTAG with OpenOCD in Eclipse?

Does OpenOCD supports AT91SAM9261 CPU for debugging?

Thanks & Regards
Rao

External flashes are only supported if they're CFI compatible and use the Intel command set. There's work in progress for adding support for Atmel/Spansion/etc. compatible flashes, but this isn't done yet.

The OpenOCD doesn't support the AT91SAM9261 CPU, as it has a ARM926EJ-S core. I've been told that Atmel wanted to provide me with a board to test with, but that hasn't happened yet.

Regards,

Dominic

Hi Dominic,

Without using OpenOCD is there any other way to debug with the help of GDB in Eclipse IDE?

Thanks & Regards

You could try the OCDRemote from Macraigor. It supports the Wiggler (only on windows) and other Macraigor devices (but not the JTAGkey), and provides a GDB interface. Flash writing is only possible with Macraigors "Flash programmer", which isn't free (as in beer - OCDRemote isn't "free software", either).

The BDI2000 is a powerful ethernet-based device that provides a GDB interface, too. If this is for a commercial project, you might want to invest the money.

Dominic
