The Flyswatter JTAG board is a low cost USB based JTAG programmer for the Hammer CPU board. It can be used with all ARM processors that are supported by OpenOCD. It is based upon FTDI's popular FT2232 USB UART/FIFO IC. The Flyswatter provides a standard JTAG interface as well as a standard RS232 port with support for full modem signals.

Devices that work

  • Hammer: Supported by the software kit/tools that come with the Hammer
  • NSLU2: requires a JTAG connection to be added to the NSLU2 and nslu2.cfg, nslu2.ocd and Debug_handler.bin files. You can use these samples, but may need to edit the nslu2.ocd as appropriate.
