Newest version of Eclipse available at the moment, Eclipse Neon. Now we just have to set-up the Eclipse with the OpenOCD plug-in. This gives us information that ARM core was recognized, this is therefore theĬorrect command to use it later with the GDB debugger. 0 : hardware has 6 breakpoints, 4 watchpoints tap tap / device found : 0x02d020dd ( mfg : 0x06e ( Altera ), part : 0x2d02, ver : 0x0 ) Info : DAP transaction stalled ( WAIT ) - slowing down Info : DAP transaction stalled ( WAIT ) - slowing down Info : DAP transaction stalled ( WAIT ) - slowing down Info : fpgasoc. ), part : 0xba00, ver : 0x4 ) Info : JTAG tap : fpgasoc. dap tap / device found : 0x4ba00477 ( mfg : 0x23b ( ARM Ltd. = 1.36 ) Info : This adapter doesn 't support configurable speed Info : JTAG tap : fpgasoc.

If you want to know more, at theĪ link to the presentation on FOSDEM 2006.įirst we need to install all needed tools: Provide a graphical way to debug programs. ItĬan also be interfaced with GDB (GNU Debugger) integrated with Eclipse, to Which can be used to control and monitor the hardware over JTAG interface. Provides a link between hardware components and a command line interface, OpenOCD is a free and open-source on-chip debugger. This greatly simplifiesĭetermining the cause which lead to the system halt. Even in this case the JTAGĭebugger offers a side-door access to the system. There is something wrong with a kernel, a device tree or the drivers, one canĮasily find himself with a non-responsive system. When doing initial bring-up or experimenting this may not be the case. Linux should be up and running in order to run gdbserver on processor. Only allows debugging Linux user-space applications. While I believeĭS-5 can be useful tool, unfortunately the free-as-a-beer DS-5 Community Edition Nios II EDS which provides support for Nios soft-core processor and there isĪRM DS-5 Development Studio, which provides support for ARM cores in Altera SoCs. Altera on the other hand has twoĭifferent tools to program and debug their portfolio of processors. Soft-core and ARM cores in their Zynq FPGAs. Xilinx offers Xilinx SDK as the tool to program and debug their MicroBlaze Of possibilities to partition the application between the two. Altera Cyclone V SoC is a very interesting integrated circuit,Ĭombining dual-core ARM processor and a decent FPGA, allowing a wide variety This blog post will show you how one can use the OpenOCD debugger with AlteraĬyclone V SoC.
