JTAG port on the DNS-323

WARNING: attaching a JTAG port will certainly void your warranty and could destroy your unit.

Please feel free to update, cleanup or correct this page.

What is this?

This document shows how to use the JTAG port on the DNS-323.

Requisites

  • You need openocd OpenOCDinstalled on a linux box
  • You can get the sources svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk
  • You need a JTAG cable

JTAG Interface scheme for DNS-323

Amontec JTAGKey Tiny

[http://www.amontec.com/jtagkey-tiny.shtml| JTAGKey Tiny]

Solder 4K7 Ohm resistors @ R202 R201 R200 Connect JTAG pins just like the Wrigler port, and also bridge R199 (EN pin to VCC) to enable JTAG.

Running OpenOCD

  • Start the program
openocd -d3 --log_output log.txt
  • Telnet to the debug interface
telnet localhost 4444

TODO

  • The flash code in OPENOCD does not understand CFI mode 2 access. However this looks to be easy to fix. There is an early patch that attempted to address this but was never added into the project release. This code provides a good starting point.
