 |
|
hi all... i'm stumped and don't know where else to turn.
i know this forum is intended for those running gentoo on alternative or embedded archs, but i'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction and this seemed like the best place.
i have usually developed for AVRs in windows only because it's what i had in the office/lab, but i have an olimex STM32-sk board at home i received from a vendor some time ago and an IAR usb J-link.
i found openocd and am trying to get it set up so i can develop for this board at home in gentoo. does anyone know:
how do i interface the jlink usb adapter?
is this jtag interface even supported in linux?
when i connect the jlink adapter, i see this in /var/log/messages:
| Code: | Jul 18 09:30:30 mrblack usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 51

Jul 18 09:30:32 mrblack hub 2-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 2 |
do i need to do anything at the kernel level or elsewhere to get the system to recognize this device?
when i run openocd, i see this:
| Code: | [ root@mrblack 9:28AM ]~$ openocd -f /usr/lib/openocd/interface/jlink.cfg -f /usr/lib/openocd/target/stm32.cfg

barfo,
We need the devices Vendor and Device IDs which you can get from lsusb, to determine linux support and kernel options.
If you can't spot it in lsusb, please post your entire /proc/bus/usb/devices, when the device is connected.

thanks for asking - here's more info...
i found out that this is not an ftdi device as i'd assumed. after opening the box i found it's a segger jlink device. some other posts i found trying to solve this led me to believe it had an ftdi rs232/usb interface. anyway - here is the output of lsusb:
| Code: | ~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bc2:3001 Seagate RSS LLC
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001

what's really troubling is that i have downloaded and tried their (segger's) beta linux software to interface this programmer (jlink commander: [link]http://www.segger.com/download_jlink.html[/link]) and observed the following weirdness...
when i run ./start using their software, i see it detect the jlink device and i can querey it and read the target st7 device's memory. i wasn't able to write to it - i could issue a write command and it seemed happy with the exchange, but reading the memory address i attempted to write showed FFFF - not the value written. i have been able to power on/off the target and such through - so there is some functionality.
however - after running this software once, if i stop the session and disconnect the jlink programmer and reconnect it, it doesn't work. the led on the programmer just blinks, the software from segger cannot identify the programmer/jtag interface and lsusb takes forever to show any information. i see nothing related in dmesg or /var/log/messages however and i see no tasks running that i'd suspect to cause a problem. i rebooted out of curiousity and behold - the jlink device and segger's software worked again, but only once. after a dis/connect, it failed again.
i have been able to interface this device and target on a windows machine however using segger's software. i haven't tried anything more because i'd likely have to use IAR and i hate that environment so haven't gone through the bother to set it up.
i can't provide output from the segger software at the moment because i haven't rebooted and don't really want to... any pointers to where i should look to find the cause of this usb dis/connect, broken communication issue? it seems like the device epxects to sync with a service on the pc and for whatever reason that service hangs or dies and i can't restart it. segger/s software doesn't seem to do that for me.
thanks for any feedback everyone. i know this is a handful of problems rolled into a single thread - sorry about that. i'll register over at segger's forums and see what they have to say too.
--edit--
after a reboot i'm able to run a decent `lsusb -v` and i get the following for the device in question:

when i run their software:
| Code: |
/usr/src/openocd/jlink$ ./start

so i suppose the question has evolved into:
has anyone here used this device and a complimentary toolchain to develop for an st7 (cortex m3) target?? if so, i'd love some pointers![/b] |

thanks neddy! i'll follow that...
as a rather open ended question - are there developers out there in the gentoo community developing on these st7 processors? specifically the cortex-m3?
i'm in up to my nose and it'd be greatly appreciated if someone could point me to a howto regarding a crossdev setup for this target. i've been looking high and low and it doesn't look simple. i'm tempted to toss the board in the closet and build another AVR board. |

barfo,
Join #gentoo-embedded on irc.freenode.net and ask there.
They will know whats going on with crossdev.
