6 Development Tools
The Bluetechnix Core Modules are either shipped with pre‐flashed BLACKSheep software
(for further details please see the BLACKSheep documentation) or with U‐Boot and uClinux.
Both provide a boot loader. Anyway, if they are corrupted or not available at your target
hardware, you will need a JTAG programmer for flashing u‐Boot and/or uClinux. Besides the
HP‐USB‐ICE from Analog Devices, flashing and/or debugging Bluetechnix Core Modules is
supported by three JTAG devices, the gnICE from Analog Devices, the PEEDI from Ronetix,
and the ICEBear from Section 5.
Certain Core Modules allow for booting the U‐Boot from UART: CM‐BF527, (T)CM‐BF537x,
CM‐BF548. For these, a JTAG device is not required if the software was deleted/corrupted.
6.1 gnICE JTAG
The gnICE (http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=hw:jtag:gnice) is a fast and low cost
USB JTAG In‐Circuit‐Emulator for Blackfin processors. It's designed to provide reliable JTAG
debugging and CFI NOR Flash programming via USB. The gnICE JTAG Adapter Cable is an
Open Source hardware, based on the FT2232 chip from Future Technology Devices
International Ltd.
