Getting started

ADSP evaluation boards do not ship with pre-installed software. The chips also do not support booting directly from SD cards. Therefore the evaluation boards need to be bootstrapped over JTAG using a ADI ICE-1000 or ICE-2000 JTAG debugger.

Setup a JTAG connection

Build and install the ADI fork of OpenOCD:

~$

git clone https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/openocd

~$

cd openocd

~/openocd$

./bootstrap

~/openocd$

./configure

~/openocd$

make -j$(nproc)

Run openocd with either ice1000.cfg or ice2000.cfg and one of the following configs:

adspsc58x.cfg
adspsc59x_a55.cfg

For example, for the ICE-1000 and ADZS-SC589-EZLITE run the following:

~/openocd$

src/openocd -f ice1000.cfg \
    -f adspsc58x.cfg \
    --search tcl/ \
    --search tcl/interface/ \
    --search tcl/target/

Boot U-Boot Proper

In another terminal either cd into the extracted release archive or the appropriate build output directory when building from source. Then load and run the two U-Boot stages using gdb. Note that Debian and Ubuntu ship multi-architecture GDB support in a separate package.

After loading U-Boot SPL wait 2-3 seconds to allow SPL to complete execution before interrupting it with ^C.

sudo apt-get install -y gdb-multiarch
gdb-multiarch
(gdb) load u-boot-spl
(gdb) c
^C
(gdb) load u-boot
(gdb) c
