Cortex A8 support is coming along, but it still needs work. BeagleBoard has other special requirements. It has a very special JTAG setup... JTAG router? icepick? or whatever it is called. A lot of work was done to support it, but I haven't heard anything lately. I have not seen a plan laid out on what's missing on Cortex A8 in general and BeagleBoard in particular. In fact, I think creating such a plan would be a great first step :-) -- Meet us in Paris at rts EMBEDDED SYSTEMS 2010 - March 30. and April 1. http://www.zylin.com/events_rts.html Øyvind Harboe US toll free 1-866-980-3434 / International +47 51 63 25 00 http://www.zylin.com/zy1000.html ARM7 ARM9 ARM11 XScale Cortex JTAG debugger and flash programmer _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
