This page shows the steps how to initiate On-Chip Debugging and load bootloader into i.MX53 SODIMM PC - Development kit.

JTAG Debugger and Programmer Installation

  • Connect JTAG Cable to USB port on a computer. JTAG device should be automatically recognized and prepared for usage.
  • Download OpenOCD v0.6.0 software
  • Unzip the files

400px

Running Open On-Chip Debugger

Locate the folder where the software was unpacked. Run OpenOCD utility in command line (by using Total Commander or Windows Command Prompt):

openocd.exe -f vmx53w.cfg

600px

Debugging session was opened and running:
600px

Connecting to Open On-Chip Debugger session

Using Windows Telnet Client

Click on Start/Run (or press Windows key + R), and open the Telnet session using 4444 port:

telnet localhost 4444

300px

Telnet session is active and ready for use:
600px

Using terminal emulator

To open Telnet service using TeraTerm program, click on File/New Connection, select TCP/IP option and type 4444 into TCP port# field. The IP address to connect to is localhost (127.0.0.1):
400px

TeraTerm session is running and ready for use:
600px

Establishing serial connection

Open TeraTerm program, click on File/New Connection, choose Serial and select the port which was assigned to the JTAG device:
400px

A successful connection is created only if the following serial port settings are applied (115200, 8n1):
600px

Selecting boot mode

In order to disable direct boot, H902 jumper (BOOTMODE) must be placed between pins 1 and 2. This enables serial boot and loading files over Telnet service. The main reason for using this mode is to rewrite bootloader image in case of update or recovery.

Direct Boot (Boot from E-Fuses) is selected when BOOTMODE jumper pins 2 and 3 are shortened. This is the default mode of module operation.

Serial Boot Direct Boot (Boot from E-Fuses)

Loading bootloader

The following commands need to be placed inside Localhost Telnet session and executed one by one. Console logs are included for comparison:

reset_halt

600px

step

600px

resume

600px

vmx53_init

600px

boot

600px

Barebox was loaded into the i.MX53 SODIMM PC Module SRAM and executed:
600px

As the fresh Barebox is stored in SRAM only at this point, switching the module off causes bootloader to erase. To store the new Barebox and use it automatically after power on, flashing the image is required. Follow this section to do so.
