Problems configuring gdb to use target ocd (wiggler)

Problems configuring gdb to use target ocd (wiggler)

[Niklaus Giger]

Hi

I have a Macraigor Wiggler that can be connected to my parallel port on a x86 
GNU/Debian system. I would like to build a cross-compiler but I do not know 
how to configure it to use the ocd. And I didn't find any help about this 
topic in the README or in gdb mailing list. 

(gdb) help target 
target async -- Use a remote computer via a serial line
target child -- Unix child process (started by the "run" command)
target cisco -- Use a remote machine via TCP
target core -- Use a core file as a target
target exec -- Use an executable file as a target
target extended-async -- Use a remote computer via a serial line
target extended-remote -- Use a remote computer via a serial line
target lwp-layer -- Low level threads support (LWP layer)
target multi-thread -- Threads and pthreads support
target remote -- Use a remote computer via a serial line

The same output is on my PowerMac. (Because finally I would prefer to use the 
wiggler via a USB->parallel convert on my PowerMac to avoid cross-compiling.)

Is there magic option for ./configure ?

Any hints would be appreciated.  (Please cc to me as I am not subscribed to 
this mailing list).

You can't the Wiggler will not run from Linux, it needs a Windows OS to run. You can then use the Macraigor Libremote to access from any host running GDB 5.0, but beware the Macraigor Libremote will die with anything other than GDB 5.0.
The easiset way, get another JTAG device with Ethernet and all you problems go away, trust me you won't regret it.

Thank you for your advice, which I will follow. I just happen to have three 
wigglers laying around.-)

I would strongly recomend the Abatron BDI2000 (www.abatron.ch), it speaks "GDB remote" and works very well. As you are in Switzerland it should be easy to get too.
