Hi,
I have some questions about JTAG support in the MSPGCC package.
First a problem. I have tried the parallel JTAG stuff on two Linux
machines - one with RedHat 7.2 and one with 7.3. In each case I get the
same result:
An error occurred:
No connection to target
This seems to come from within the _parjtag.so module, so I can't easily
probe around to see what it means. Is this a "parallel port doesn't
work" error, or a "I can't find the JTAG gadget" error? In either case,
is there a well known reason to get it. One of these machines booted
with Windoze, and running Quadrovox's AQ430 software, sees the JTAG port
OK so I know the basic hardware setup is basically OK.
With regard to the serial JTAG gadget, has it been tested with a USB to
serial converter? Right now this is the environment I would like with my
notebook. By next year it looks like there will be no serial and
parallel ports on new PCs, and only USB will work. Also, is the
intention to manufacture a batch of PCBs for this, and make all our
lives easy?
Regards,
Steve
