Use Olimex ARM-USB-OCD-H with SWD-Interface

[lorenz]

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am using the Olimex ARM-USB-OCD-H Debugger with the jtag-adapter. The used controller is Atmel SAMD21. While connecting to the processor with OpenOCD i encountered an occasional error where the Processors registeres may not be read properly(0xFFFFFFF). This seems to be an issue with the hardware connection as the source seems to be an unstable connection of the OCD-H-Debugger with the SWD-Adapter or the SWD-adapter with my JTAG20pin-Cable. Is this an known issue or is my Adapter faulty?

Best regards
Lorenz Megele

This is most likely bad support for this specific chip in OpenOCD or improper project settings.

Yet, make sure to connect the SWD adapter to the debugger in the following way: ARM-USB-OCD-H debugger – SWD interface adapter – JTAG ribbon cable - target board; i.e. connect the SWD adapter directly to the programmer with no cable in-between them!

Hi Lorenz:
Did you finally was able to program the SAMD21 using the ARM-USB-OCD-H programmer with SWD-interface?
Could you give me detail on how to do that?
I want use this programmer with a samd21g18a-u And I'm not sure if it is possible or not. Have you the OPENOCD script files (config.cfg) for this combination?
thank you in advance

For SWD with ARM-USB-OCD-H, you also need an adapter - ARM-JTAG-SWD:
