Installation

Ubuntu/Debian packages

Openocd 0.5 is a recommendation of the paparazzi-dev package, install it if not already done so. For older distributions (Debian squeeze, Ubunutu Lucid, Maverick and Natty) backported packages are available in the Paparazzi repositories. See Installation. The latest paparazzi-arm-multilib packages also already include gdb for arm.

from source

The low level interfacing is done by libftdi, get it from http://www.intra2net.com/de/produkte/opensource/ftdi/ It is possible to use a closed source version from FTDI, too. Probably more recent version available?

wget http://www.intra2net.com/de/produkte/opensource/ftdi/TGZ/libftdi-0.10.tar.gz
tar xvfz libftdi-0.10.tar.gz
cd libftdi-0.10
./configure
make
make install

Get the OpenOCD software http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.phtml?title=Building_OpenOCD It needs some additional packages to be built. Not on berlios anymore...

apt-get install autoconf
apt-get install automake
apt-get install subversion
svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk
cd trunk
./bootstrap
./configure --enable-ft2232_libftdi
make
make install

For some debian distributions you might have to add '/usr/local/lib' to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/i486-linux-gnu.conf and call

ldconfig

Configuration

STM32

GDB needs to exactly know the target architecture and OpenOCD currently does not automatically hand GDB all the needed details. You will need a xml file with the target description, save it and load it in your .gdbinit:

 set tdesc filename ~/path/to/gdb_cortex_m3_target.xml

For lisa/m boards file lisa-m.cfg should look like:

# the Lost Illusions Serendipitous Autopilot
# http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/Lisa
# Work-area size (RAM size) = 64kB for STM32F103RB device
set WORKAREASIZE 0xFA00
source [find target/stm32f1x.cfg]

LPC21xx

Generate an OpenOCD config - this one worked, might need some polishing

#daemon configuration

This .gdbinit should start gdb in the correct way for the lpc21xx:

#set directories $cdir:$cwd:../lcds16x2/
set can-use-hw-watchpoints 2
set complaints 33
set history save
set history size 333
set logging on
set output-radix 0x10
set step-mode on
set trust-readonly-sections on
set verbose on
set watchdog 15

target remote localhost:3333
monitor soft_reset_halt
# only for RAM: monitor arm7_9 sw_bkpts enable
monitor arm7_9 force_hw_bkpts enable
hbreak main
#load
#continue
