Hello everyone, We are just starting off here and need a little advice, It seems that as far as a GNU debugger programmer for ARM9 is concerned the OpenOCD system is the way to go, for this you need a DLC5 Jtag cable or equivalent, How slow is the DLC5 Jtag cable in practise, is it usable or will it frustrate me? Does any one have a Gerber file or a eagle board layout/Schematic for a DLC5 Jtag PCB. I know there are commercial versions available to purchase such as the ARM-USB-Tiny but I am eager to get going and live in South Africa where I can find no commercial system to work with OpenOCD. We did purchase a KEIL ULINK2 jtag unit but the cost of the compiler is forcing us to look at other options. I am fairly certain the KEIL UNLINK2 jtag unit will not function with OpenOCD. Are there any other chips that have enough RAM and ROM to host a Linux kernel? Any other options I should consider? Thanks Jannie

Moooore advice

It's all available for shipping.> We did purchase a KEIL ULINK2 jtag unit but > the cost of the compiler is forcing us to look at other options.

This is odd because the circuit for that device is widely known (at least for the first version of it).> Are there any other chips that have enough RAM and ROM to host a Linux > kernel?AVR32. Go look at the Network Gateway board. I seriously doubt if you'll find a better price for a well supported linux board. http://edageek.com/2007/03/26/atmel-avr32-networking/ http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS2837651365.html Eric
