Olimex SAM7P256 with Yagarto Eclipse ARM Cross-Dev
I recently bought the Olimex SAM7P256 development
board from SparkFun and started
learning that architecture and tool set. I will
probably eventually use the Rowley dev environment, but
started by following Jim Lynch's extremely well
written tutorial on setting up the
Yagarto Eclipse environment doing
cross-development in C to ARM targets.
I used the Olimex USB JTag debugger that is compatible with OCD aware debuggers. With this setup, it's possible to have an Open Source cross-development environment which lets you single-step running code on the SAM7P256 board. It worked like a charm.
With that many moving parts, I expected something to not work right, but I went from 0 to JTAG single-step debugging on the board in about 1/2 hr (if you don't include download times of the pieces.)
