Chris and all, what I stated below is true: there is an issue with the reset line. I checked it by monitoring the reset pin.
The code of jtag.py seems to be "quirky" in more than that regard. If I use -D as parameter, I get following message (amongst others): _parjtag.configure(DEBUG_OPTION, DEBUG) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'configure' The current jtag.py and _parjtag don't fit together, I suppose.
