I don’t have specific documentation for debugging A55 cores on the Verdin iMX95 in the available sources. The current JTAG debugging documentation focuses on Cortex-M cores rather than Cortex-A cores (1).
Available JTAG Documentation
The existing Cortex-M JTAG debugging documentation covers (1):
- Supported hardware: Dahlia Carrier Board uses connector X8 for JTAG (1)
- Required tools: J-Link hardware from Segger and JLinkGDBServer (1)
- Important hardware note: If using an external JTAG debugger with Dahlia Carrier Board, jumper JP6 should be connected (1)
Verdin iMX95 Current Status
The Verdin iMX95 documentation indicates this is a newer module (2):
- Features 6x ARM Cortex-A55 cores plus ARM Cortex-M7 and ARM Cortex-M33 cores (3)
- The documentation page states it’s “currently under development” with full content coming soon (2)
- Software support: Both Yocto Project Reference Images and Torizon OS support for Verdin iMX95 “will be announced soon” (2)
Community Insights
From community discussions about similar modules, the JTAG interface typically connects to the SoC debug interface, potentially allowing access to both Cortex-A and Cortex-M cores, with core selection managed through debugger software configuration (4).
Current Limitation
The available sources don’t contain specific documentation for debugging Cortex-A55 cores on the Verdin iMX95. Since this module appears to be in early stages with documentation still being developed, the A55 debugging procedures may not yet be documented in the current Toradex resources.
You may need to wait for updated documentation specifically covering the iMX95 platform, or explore whether standard ARM Cortex-A debugging procedures can be adapted for your use case.
