Compile urJTAG for Windows
From DP
Contents |
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 have to build a cross-compiler environment for your OS.
Download and install files from http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/:
For the Cygwin environment: download mingw-w32-1.0-bin_i686-cygwin-1.7.7-1_20110117.tar.bz2
and if you are using Linux download mingw-w32-1.0-bin_i686-linux_20110117.tar.bz2
Aside from these latest builds, You also need the following:
The latest Urjtag from the svn, which we will download later and the required windows libraries from ftdichip.com
Building the Cross Compile Environment
Fortunately the people behind MingGW-w64 has done it for you. All you have to do is uncompress the downloaded toolchain on a directory of you choice and add the "bin" path to your PATH environment variable.
Testing the build Environment
To test your cross-compile environment,
Create a simple hello.c
gcc -o hello hello.c
Flags and Parameters
Patching Urjtag
You can run the following syntax to patch the source from the svn repository.
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.
