== OpenOCD JTAG programming for IMote2==
 
 
* The following instruction works with [http://www.olimex.com/dev/arm-usb-tiny.html USB JTAG cable from Olimex] under Linux. The cable is available from  http://microcontrollershop.com/
 
* The instructions are based on Ubuntu 7.10
 
* [http://openocd.berlios.de/web/ OpenOCD website]
 
* ARM-USB-TINY only works with [http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm libftd2xx from FTDI]
 
 
===Install FTDI libftd2xx driver===
 
*run the following as root or using sudo
 
gunzip libftd2xx0.4.13.tar.gz
 
tar -xvf libftd2xx0.4.13.tar
 
cp ftd2xx.h /usr/local/include
 
cp WinTypes.h /usr/local/include
 
cp libftd2xx.so.0.4.13 /usr/local/lib
 
cd /usr/local/lib
 
ln -s libftd2xx.so.0.4.13 libftd2xx.so
 
cd /usr/lib
 
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libftd2xx.so.0.4.13 libftd2xx.so
 
ldconfig
 
 
The closed source drivers from FTDI rely on having <tt>/proc/bus/usb</tt> available.  This is not enabled in Ubuntu by default.  We enable it by editing <tt>/etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh</tt> and uncommenting the following lines:
 
 
#
 
# Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work
 
#
 
mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
 
domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
 
ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
 
mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
 
 
We now need to set up the permissions correctly for the Olimex JTAG programmer.  Create a file called <tt>/etc/udev/rules.d/45-ft2232.rules</tt> with the following text:
 
 
BUS!="usb", ACTION!="add", SUBSYSTEM!=="usb_device", GOTO="kcontrol_rules_end"
 
 
SYSFS{idProduct}=="0004", SYSFS{idVendor}=="15ba", MODE="664", GROUP="adm"
 
 
LABEL="kcontrol_rules_end"
 
 
You will have to reboot your machine for the changes to take effect.
 
 
=== Build OpenOCD ===
 
 
* check out OpenOCD svn repository
 
svn checkout http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/openocd
 
* build OpenOCD
 
  cd openocd/trunk
 
  ./bootstrap
 
  ./configure --enable-ft2232_ftd2xx
 
  make
 
 
* install OpenOCD
 
  sudo make install
 
  sudo chmod 4755 /usr/local/bin/openocd
 
  sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/etc
 
  sudo cp $INTELMOTE2_CONTRIB_DIR/tools/platforms/intelmote2/openocd/arm-usb-tiny.cfg /usr/local/etc
 
  sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/etc/arm-usb-tiny.cfg
 
 
This will install openocd to /usr/local/bin. Be sure this is on your PATH.
 
 
=== Program iMote2 with OpenOCD ===
 
 
* Connect iMote2 to the debug board.
 
* Connect JTAG interface with USB to debug board and then connect to PC. (Best to connect directly to PC - going through a hub does not always work.)
 
* Connect USB cable to debug board and then to PC. (As above, best to connect directly rather than through a hub.) You will therefore have two USB cables running from the PC: one to the JTAG interface and the other directly to the debug board.
 
* Press the reset button on the iMote2.
 
* You can now manually install the binary on the mote by running:
 
 
$INTELMOTE2_CONTRIB_DIR/tools/platforms/intelmote2/openocd/imote2-ocd-program.py build/intelmote2/main.bin.out
 
 
==== Manual programming method. ====
 
 
The above uses our custom "imote2-ocd-program.py" program that is a wrapper for running openocd and programming the mote.  You can also run openocd by hand:
 
 
  openocd -f /usr/local/etc/arm-usb-tiny.cfg
 
and then connect to it with:
 
  telnet localhost 3333
 
 
Various commands you can use:
 
halt
 
poll
 
resume
 
flash info 0
 
 
=== Accessing serial data ===
 
 
To read data from the node's serial port, use port /dev/ttyUSB1 (/dev/ttyUSB0 is used for programming), and set serial settings to baud rate 115200 7 bits, even parity, 1 stop bit. Using 'minicom' will show the data being printed by printUART().
 
 
=== Using GDB ===
 
 
It is possible to use GDB to debug the iMote2 while it is running.
 
 
* Compile your binary using the "debug" flag:
 
make intelmote2 debug install.100
 
* After the mote is installed with the new binary, start up openocd:
 
openocd -f /usr/local/etc/arm-usb-tiny.cfg
 
* Run xscale-elf-gdb (which should have been installed with the xscale toolchain):
 
xscale-elf-gdb build/intelmote2/main.exe
 
* Tell gdb to use localhost:4444 as the debugging target. (This is the port that openocd listens on for gdb commands.)
 
(gdb) target remote localhost:4444
 
* Then continue:
 
(gdb) cont
 
* You can then hit Ctrl-C to halt the mote, and inspect what is going on. For example,
 
(gdb) info reg
 
(gdb) where
 
and so forth.
