I'm looking for someone who has built a jtag adaptor board for a connex, and might have an extra they might sell. Or borrow for around a week :) This is not related to reprogramming my flash. Joel |

Since I have not found anyone who has a jtag breakout board, it looks like I have to spin my own. I plan to implement 1 serial port, and JTAG interface with the Wiggler pin-out. The serial port connector will be a male DB9. Any interest I will set one aside for you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joel Winarske" <jo...@in...> To: <gum...@li...> Sent: Tuesday, July 05, 2005 2:35 AM Subject: [Gumstix-users] jtag break out for connex? > I'm looking for someone who has built a jtag adaptor board for a connex, > and might have an extra they might sell.

Depending upon the cost I'd be interested, be nice to have a second serial port there too... ;-P On Wed, 2005-07-06 at 18:35 -0700, Joel Winarske wrote: > Since I have not found anyone who has a jtag breakout board, it looks lik= e I=20 > have to spin my own. > I plan to implement 1 serial port, and JTAG interface with the Wiggler=20 > pin-out.

In my first attempt I tack soldered leads to the 60 pin on the connex board. No reset response in OCD Commander. I checked my solder job from jtag header to hirose connector, all good no shorts. I haven't pulled out my GoLogic analyzer yet, but my guess is the leads are too long. I originally looked at adding leads to the receptacle of add on board, very little room to tack anything on. Of course having a schematic would really help knowing where to probe :) Joel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Hylands" <dhy...@gm...> To: <gum...@li...> Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 9:58 PM Subject: Re: [Gumstix-users] jtag break out for connex?

Using the Tweener for a PXA255 JTAG breakout is the way to go. I mounted header the same as Dave did with his robostix. Reference his picture url a few posts back. 1. Slide a 2x10 header onto side of tweener pcb. Slide to position with no traces. I cut down Digikey part 929665-09-36-ND 2. Stripped 30 Gauge wire fits the vias perfect. I used 30 Gauge Vector wire wrap stock. 3. Solder wires on via side first, then 2x10 header. I soldered ground side of header last to prevent stress on the ground wire. 4. Hot glue the 2x10 header to tweener pcb to keep it from moving. This also allows disconnecting wiggler or other jtag interface without damaging the wires. Joel Winarske |

I have a GNU port for Xscale and uCOS-II to play with. Thanks to David Hawkins on the Micrium Yahoo Group. Also we are working on a WinCE 5.0 port over at: http://www.we-dig.org/Forums/default.aspx?ForumGroupID=7 David Vescovi has ported JFLASH to work with an Insight adaptor and Wiggler compatible devices. I will be testing Wiggler adaptor this weekend. He has had success with his Insight adaptor. I've dug through all the start code for the PXA25x and PXA270, I figure the more RTOS's the merrier. QNX would be a good one, as it would be pretty close to the existing code.

I have toolchain for ARM7TDMI built on both Cygwin and MinGW, same kernel as for PXA255, just some different patches and libraries. I will be trying to build the gumstix toolchain on both of these environments soon. MinGW is nice, I like most things with that word minimal in them :) -- Doug |

I also had problems building under Cygwin. I tried this first...the main issue seems to be that Cygwin's shell is a crude, early version of ash, which doesn't support all the scripting primitives that bash does. That is why I went to Colinux, but had trouble because there seems to be an issue with it, and my particular CPU, or network card....I couldn't quite narrow it down, because it would just outright blue-screen my PC when trying to boot it. I would get the booting... prompt, and then boom. I have been able to do the build-root on a dedicated FC-3 machine, and it works fine, however, I know if I use the gumstix in a project, I will immediately have the need to be able to make updates in the field on a laptop. I just can't envision dual-booting the laptop just for Gumstix, so that is what lead me to a dead-end. I need some type of toolchain solution that will run under Windows XP. Recently I have been working on another project using an ARM7 with GHS-MULTI for work. The license we have includes Xscale support, so I started toying with the idea of ditching Linux all together and running right on the board, or going with an RTOS. Only thing I need hardware wise is a good JTAG port to hook it up to the ICE. When I first had the problem, I looked into vmware, but it looked like it would be like $1000 or something to get it, and it also looked like it would only work with Windows 2000, and not XP. -Ted -----Original Message----- From: gum...@li...

BusyBox (running on the gumstix) uses a crude form of shell (I think it's called lash - Lame Ass SHell) Most of the cygwin issues I tend to run into relate to case sensitivity (because the file system under cygwin is case insensitive, where linux is case sensitive), or line ending differences in files. I always make sure I use binary mounts under cygwin whenever I'm building GNU stuff. > That is > why I went to Colinux, but had trouble because there seems to be an issue > with it, and my particular CPU, or network card....I couldn't quite narro= w > it down, because it would just outright blue-screen my PC when trying to > boot it.
