Introduction

Urjtag is a modern tool for communicating over JTAG with flash chips, CPU's etc. This version aimed at supporting Bus Blaster high speed JTAG/flash programmer development

We are going to cross-compile urJTAG from other platform, preferably, Linux, and also under Cygwin. The compiled version will run in native MS Windows.

Requirements

Before you can compile Urjtag for windows, you need to download and install the following files for your cross compiler build:

Autoconf
Automake
Bash
Bison
Bzip2
CMake
FlexGCC (gcc, g++)
GNU MakeGNU
Sed
Intltool
LibC for 32-bit
Libtool
OpenSSL-dev
Patch
Perl
Perl XML::Parser
Pkg-config
SCons
UnZip
Wget
XZ Utils
Yasm

Aside from these latest builds, You also need the following:

The latest Urjtag from the svn, The required windows libraries from ftdichip.com

Building the Cross Compile Environment

After downloading the needed files, you have to run configure, make and make install to properly build the environment

Testing the build Environment

Flags and Parameters

Patching Urjtag

patch -p0 -i path-to-patch-file

Cross Compiling Urjtag for windows

When everythings work well, Here is the sequence for cross-compilation: Download the latest Urjtag from the repositories:

svn co http://urjtag.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/urjtag/trunk urjtag
Cd to your urjtag installation root
cd urjtag/urjtag


Run ./autogen to create makefiles for your system

./autogen.sh

Run the ./ configure along with its flags and parameters:


CFLAGS="-DJTAG_BIN_DIR=\\\"/\\\" -DJTAG_DATA_DIR=\\\"/data\\\"" LDFLAGS="-L/home/username/CDM20808/i386" LIBS="-lftd2xx" ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --host=i586-mingw32msvc --with-ftd2xx="/home/username/CDM20808" --disable-werror --disable-nls --without-libusb --disable-silent-rules --enable-relocatable

Run Make
make


And find your Exe file in your src/apps/jtag directory.

Testing and Running on windows

Transfer the exe file created from the cross-compiler to a subdirectory and run the jtag.exe. You should see the following, along with the build no.:

Some tricks

You may download the windows binary from the repository, install it and just replace the exe file with your build. don't forget to move the FTDI libraries into its own directories or include it in windows's path.
