[OpenOCD-user] USB-Blaster jtag uart

[Elmar M. <el...@ds...>]

Hi,

USB-Blaster provides the possibility to communicate with an Altera
FPGA using the nios2-terminal application or some code compiled with
the libjtag_atlantic.so on the host PC.
When there is no RS232 available on the board (for example DE0-nano)
this so-called JTAG UART is the best way to comunicate with a boot
loader like u-boot or with a ORPSoC linux console.

However, I cannot have both OpenOCD and nios2-terminal running on the
host PC at the same time, so I cannot user gdb on an application that
uses JTAG UART.

Is it possible to have openocd provide comunication via JTAG UART ?

Regards,
Elmar
