Hi,

I would like to debug Verdin on Dahlia with on board FTDI JTAG interface with openOCD. There is no script to support the board OpenOCD v0.11.0-1. Also there is no documentation specific to Verdin on here on Toradex website. Please share if you have.

Thanks in advance.
Ibrahim

Hi @ierturk

Thanks for writing to the Toradex Community!

Could you describe your application? What are you using JTAG for on the SoM Verdin iMX8MM?

Best regards,
Jaski

It is described in environment section of the post as following

Verdin iMX8mm Q 2GB WB IT V1.1A
Dahlia V1.0.C

I would like to debug an application on M4 core.

Hi @ierturk

Thanks for this information.

Unfortunately the feature M4 is not supported on Verdin iMX8MM yet and won’t be supported in near Future. I am sorry to not providing you a better answer.

Best regards,
Jaski

Hi @jaski.tx,

Thanks for the reply. There is hardware support on the carrier board and the SOM. What is the reason that you don’t support the JTAG debugging. Is the reason related Linux or U-Boot ? There is iMX8m EVK boards from NXP that support JTAG.

Regards,
Ibrahim

Actually JTAG is used for debugging the M4 and currently nobody tested this since we don’t support M4. I am really sorry.

Best regards,
