Hello friends, i recently get my AT91SAM7S-EK; for JTAG connection i got an ARM
wiggler that goes from JTAG port to DB25. Since my lap has no DB25 port i have
to connect the wiggler to a DB25 - DB9 - USB cable. (which means that i have a
device that converts a DB25 to DB9 and that DB9 output is then connected to a
DB9-to-USB cable)
Now, i'm working with openOCD but i don't exactly now what i have to
put in the configuration, i got this options
* --enable-parport
* --enable-parport_ppdev
* --enable-amtjtagaccel
* --enable-ft2232_ftd2xx (*)
* --enable-ft2232_libftdi
* --with-ftd2xx=/path/to/d2xx/
since i'm using the usb i guess parport is out. I've been reading
about the ft2232 but i don't know if my DB25-BD9 device uses it or even the
DB9-USB cable. I have seen that some JTAG devices that converts DB25 to USB use
this chip but i don't know if the kind of cables i'm using have this
ft2232 chip.
Here is an example of the cable i'm using

So, that's my problem, which configuration do i have to use?
Thank you so much!

I doubt that it will work. The USB<->DB25 adapters do not provide the
flexibility the old Centronix port gave.
It is often just the USB printer-profile.

If anything, then this option.

I think, you need a USB wiggler or if you have a PC, get a card with a
real Centronix port.

What you have setup will never work. Its like you are trying to hook up a Car to
a railway carrige and then expecting it to work, It never will.
1. Jtag wigglers, use a 25pin parallel centronics printer port, a USB centronics printer almost certainly not port will not work becuase it will not replicate a centronics printer port fully. The Jtag wigler uses some pins as inputs etc which the USB adapters can't do.
2. You have used a 25 pin to 9 pin adapter, this is for serial ports which is a completely different type of interface
3. You are using a USB serial adapter which is a completely different type of interface. A serial port is NOT a parallel port.
You should look at using a USB Jtag adapter, of which there are many types. As you want to use OpenOCD choose one which is supported by it maybe one of the Olimax devices
http://www.olimex.com/dev/arm-usb-tiny-h.html
You could also look here http://www.yagarto.de/links.html under the section on Jtag Hardware
Good Luck

The USB to serial cable you have will not work. The wiggler is designed to work
with a PC parallel printer port, not a serial port.

This is the biggest problem about the latest laptops which are running around
now a days, most of the cheaper or even mostly expensive one's will never
provide a PC parallel port. You either have to get an older model laptop or a
different type which provides parallel port, but this could then cost you !

Docking stations for laptops often have the necessary, but are
incredibly inconvenient - IMHO.

Even if you get a parallel port (for example through a PCMCIA add in card) for
your laptop you won’t be happy with the reliability of parallel port JTAG
wigglers. I have a drawer full of parallel port JTAG wigglers from a variety of
manufacturers and none have worked consistently. For a modern system, get one
of the many USB-to-JTAG adapters:
http://olimex.com/dev/arm-usb-ocd.html
http://www.ecrater.com/p/5735294/open-jtag-usb-emulator-rs232-2
http://www.amontec.com/jtagkey-tiny.shtml
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id892
These range from $30 to $105. I have personally used the Olimex and Amontec USB-to-JTAG interfaces successfully with OpenOCD on Atmel AT91SAM7 parts. In production where there is one static script that programs my boards I use Amontec (a mix of tinys, JTAGS, and JTAG-2s). On my desk for development I use an Atmel SAM-ICE because the SAM-BA GUI works well for the variety of different things that I might do on any given day. For other options Google “usb jtag arm”.
I like the idea of the Open JTAG units (such as the ecrater unit above) because it has a serial port integrated into the dongle that you probably want for your console as well.
Enjoy,
Bill.

Those who wish to stay with legacy technology will have to get a hardware parallel port.
On laptops with a PCcard/PCMCIA port can use on of these:
http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=pcmcia+parallel+port&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid17887598221263787&ei=8_JITIOgGYb2swOJxYFJ&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=3&vedDkQ8wIwAg#
A desktop could use a PCI parallel port:
http://www.buyextras.com/sybparpcicar.html?gclid=CMGrqbrCgKMCFSE1gwodnk6eaQ
Instead of wishing for a legacy solution, just get a USB jtag now and not fool with it any more.
