Some guys (me included) have sent some patches to support Cortex A9 and Panda. Development version has now (basic) support for Pandaboard. Anyway you have to use development version (git clone git://repo.or.cz/openocd.git) since 0.4.0 stable release hasn't good support for Cortex A8/A9. Furthermore, if you use git version you can also contribute to improve cortex-A* support, which is always very welcome ;-) I'm just about to write an HowTo to explain how to use OpenOCD on Panda. I will publish it on my site soon. regards Luca Ellero _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
