DockStar JTAG

[bzboi]

no worries. whenever you're ready. It'll be a good addition! Thanks.

Based on "sheevaplug.cfg"
proc sheevaplug_reflash_uboot_env { } {

# reflash the u-Boot environment variables area
sheevaplug_init
nand probe 0
nand erase 0 0xa0000 0x40000
nand write 0 uboot-env.bin 0xa0000 oob_softecc_kw
resume

}

I used the following in "dockstart.cfg" to back up ENV:

proc backup_env {} {
init
dockstar_init
nand probe 0
nand list
nand dump 0 "nandA0000.dat" 0xA0000 0x10000 # 64KB data only
nand dump 0 "nandA0000.oob" 0xA0000 0x10000 oob_only # 64 KB OOB only
nand dump 0 "nandA0000.bin" 0xA0000 0x10000 oob_raw # 64 KB data and OOB

#nand dump 0 "nandB0000.bin" 0xB0000 0x10000 oob_raw # 64KB (all 0x0000)
#nand dump 0 "nandC0000.bin" 0xC0000 0x10000 oob_raw # 64KB (all 0x55AA)
#nand dump 0 "nandD0000.bin" 0xD0000 0x10000 oob_raw # 64KB (all 0x55AA)
#nand dump 0 "nandE0000.bin" 0xE0000 0x10000 oob_raw # 64KB (all 0x55AA)
#nand dump 0 "nandF0000.bin" 0xF0000 0x10000 oob_raw # 64KB (all 0x55AA)
}

Only a small portion of NAND starting 0xA0000 has ASCII data, the rest are zeros or 0x55AA.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Kragorn', 'I')'ve bought an Universal JTAG cable ( http://www.tiaowiki.com/w/Universal_JTA ... _(Parallel) ).

[Kragorn]

I've followed their instrcutions. Si yes I've plugged the usb and the GND cable.

You can get the Universal JTAG Adapter for Routers, Modem, FTA and More! from http://www.diygadget.com/jtag-cables/universal-jtag-adapter-for-routers-modem-fta-and-more.html for only $16.14. It is priced at $18.99, but if you use the coupon code XBOX-SCENE you get 15% off making it only $16.14. I got the code from the banner when I clicked http://www.tiaowiki.com/w/Universal_JTAG_User_Manual_(Parallel). I have not received mine yet, but I believe it is the same one that kragorn used.

To hook it up to the dockstar I plan on using something similar to http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2246

I need some help.

I've almost gotten to a point where I'll just bruteforce the thing to get it to work but there are so many different configurations, my head is about to explode. I'm in the process of writing this up for my site but damned if I can get it to work right. Of course credit is given.

The issue is that I can't get the JTAG to work, and the wiggler instructions are confusing me.

I'm using a "generic" wiggler from TIAO and it is configured as follows. I don't know the difference between TRST, SRST nRSt, etc.

The generic wiggler has a row designated PDB (D1-D17), Bin (A1-A8), Bout (Y1-Y8), then the Dockstar's port I'm going to call X(1-10)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
<-----Wiggler Board------->|<---Dockstar
Dsub |
(Header PDB) (Bin)(Bout) |(Dockstar)
D1 - NC |
D2 - Orange - A1=Y1 - Orange - X3
D3 - Green - A2=Y2 - Green - X4
D4 - Yellow - A3=Y3 - Yellow - X5
D5 - Red - A4=Y4 - Red - X2
D6 - White - A5=Y5 - White - X7
D7 - Purple - A6=Y6 - Purple - NC
|
D11 - Blue - Y8=A8 - Blue - X6
|
')
The colors above are in reference to the TAIO Wiki site, specifically this image:

I have attached a lead from the GND of the Dockstar, to the Wiggler GND, and to my serial CA42 GND to make sure levels are the same. From the wiggler (not connected to PC to the CA42's USB shield, I have continuity across all four devices so it's not a ground issue. (Wiggler GND to Dockstar USB port shield to GND pin on Dockstar header to shield of USB / PC)

When I start OpenOCD, I can run init, but that's about it. Trying sheevaplug_init gives errors and it has never been able to find the nand when I do a nand probe 0 per the instructions here:
http://Arch Linux ARM.com/index.php5?title=Ha ... up_Windows

Here is the output of what I'm getting. OpenOCD telnet session:

When I start out with OpenOCD (commandline) it gives me the following errors.

Also, what in the world is the pinout of the header on the dockstar itself? Based on what I've seen here, it's along the lines of:

Pin 1 - Unknown - Here be dragons.
Pin 2 - RSET (nRST or sRST? what is the difference?)
Pin 3 - TDI
Pin 4 - TMS
Pin 5 - TCLK
Pin 6 - TDO
Pin 7 - SRST or nRST?
Pin 8 - RxD (Serial)
Pin 9 - TxD (Serial)
Pin 10 - Vss (GND)

If I can get a clarification on what I'm botching up here, I can complete my post and finally get this thing working once and for all. Unfortunately, I did something stupid and typed in "nand erase" at the CE> prompt and when I desperately tried to recover the dd image of the bootloader (didn't know about the checksum that prevents you from doing that), the dockstar went nonresponsive.

I would greatly appreciate any help and I apologize for the length of this post. I really want to get this solved and want to make sure I'm not leaving an important piece of information behind.

Thank you.

About to hit the road, so I'll have to keep this short.

I don't have a wiggler, so I'll let the other folks jump in on that subject.

The dockstar pinout is in the first post of this thread. Pin 1 is Vcc, but at first glance you have the rest correctly identified. I didn't get the chance to look up the Wiggler pinout, but you probably want to verify the Wiggler pin names against the first post in any case. It might be as simple as a connectivity issue.

I just want to confirm, what address do you have set for LPT1 on your computer? parport.cfg in OpenOCD has a default setting of 0x378 so you might need to change your PC setup (usually a setting in BIOS) or the easier thing is to change it in parport.cfg to reflect what your PC is using.

Report back so that we can systematically rule out possible causes.

Good luck!

This is what I learnt from Kragorn if you're using Tiao's universal JTAG set to buffered mode and wiring instructions from http://www.tiaowiki.com/w/Image:Univers ... er.597.jpg

- Green wire -> pin 4 (of Dockstar)
- Yellow -> pin 5
- Red -> pin 3
- White -> pin 2
- Blue -> pin 6
- Black -> pin 10

Do NOT connect the orange wire (n_SRST in the JTAG) or openocd will give you the errors you're seeing. Also make sure you supply power to the JTAG using the mini-USB plug. Hope this works for you.

@klingon and kragorn
Thanks klingon I was just going to post because mine wasn't working. The trick is to not connect orange.

@firestormv1
You have some pinouts wrong. Here is what I am now using.
