GDB SERVER FOR ARM, XSCALE AND CORTEX

USER MANUAL

 Install the JTAGjet USB driver for Linux from the jtagjetdrv_<version>-2.deb package: sudo

dpkg --install jtagjetdrv_1.2-2.deb

. Detailed instructions are in the

jtagjetdrv_README.txt file.

 Install USBDiag from the USBDiag_<version>.tar archive. Detailed instructions are in the

USBDiag_README.txt file.

2. In a directory of your choice, unpack SigGdbServer for Linux from the

SigGdbServer-1.07.03.tar.gz tarball.

First Time Run

Make sure that your emulator is connected to a USB port. Execute the USBDiag program to

verify that the JTAGjet USB driver has been installed correctly:

./USBDiag -t

License Installation

A new JTAGjet emulator for Linux comes with a license already installed in the hardware. When

converting (upgrading) a JTAGjet emulator to work with the GDB Server, Signum provides an

appropriate *.lic license file. Copy this file to either the $HOME/Signum/Licenses or

/etc/Signum/Licenses directory. This will make the license available to all your Signum

applications. To make the license available exclusively to the Signum GDB server, put the license

file in the directory where you installed SigGdbServer.
