Did the cfg file get patched for cortex_a. right now, the git repo for openocd shows line 144 from tcl/target/amdm37x.cfg as: target create $_TARGETNAME cortex_a -chain-position $_CHIPNAME.dap and the git log for openocd seems fairly insistent that this is the right target type, despite it being flagged as invalid. is it still supposed to be patched? here's the openocd patch page from elinux: http://elinux.org/OpenOCD_Patches which goes way back to openocd 0.5.0. should that still be applied? seems like a long time for an essential patch to not be upstreamed. > I'd also recommend NOT using the distros OpenOCD, but rather using > the latest version in OpenOCDs Git repo. normally, i'd agree, but the yum installable openocd package for fedora 20 is, in fact, version 0.7.0, which is the latest official release. so i'll try both and see if it makes a difference. back shortly ... rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
