docs/README.jtag - How-to get the a JTAG adapter to work on a module
  with JTAG disabled.

docs/USING.gdb - how to run GDB and some useful commands.

Recommended compiler
--------------------

Sourcery G++ Lite 2011.03-42 for ARM EABI from Mentor Graphics
https://sourcery.mentor.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/release1802

Recommended On Chip Debugger
----------------------------

OpenOCD
http://openocd.sourceforge.net/getting-openocd/

Known working JTAG interfaces:

http://www.amontec.com/jtagkey.shtml

JTAG Interface
--------------

The JTAG interface is most easily accessed through the H1 connector.

The pin connections between the H1 connector and the 20 pin connector
found on most ARM JTAG adapters:

ARM JTAG          Signal                H1
--------          ------                --
1                 PWR                   16
20                GND                   15
3                 NTRST                 7
5                 TDI                   9
7                 TMS                   11
9                 TCK                   13
13                TDO                   10
15                NRST                  14


Known Issues
------------

When using some JTAG adapters, minor ESD events may cause the LCD
controller to reset.  After that event the LCD controller will need to
be reinitialized.  This has only been experianced when the JTAG is
connected.
