Jeff Probe

This is a fork of the original Black Magic Probe.

The original is arguably better, faster and wider supported. However, this project was a way to offer an affordable version and I'll rely on community support and pull requests.

One urguably better funncton is the ability to do DEBUG and Serial communication over a single JTAG cable when paired with a device that uses single wire JTAG.

Normally, the serial header can be used on a target for the serial port, and shows up as the second serial device on the system, however, we can dynamically change the pins to use the ones on the JTAG cable with the following command:

 $ mon convert_tdio enable

Compilation

Newer toolchains can cause issues. I usually work 4_9-2014q4-20141203 found here.

the versionfollowing version

 $ make clean
 $ make PROBE_HOST=jeff CUSTOM_SER=1
 $ dfu-util --device ,1d50:6017 -s 0x00002000:leave -D src/blackmagic.bin 

CUSTOM OPTIONS

On mac, our device shows up with a serial number /dev/tty.cuJEFF123HDC

This can be annoy if we want to autocnnect with a gith script. We can override the use of a serial number by doing a custom compliation such that our device shows up with the following: /dev/cu.usbmodemJEFF1 and /dev/cu.usbmodemJEFF3

 $ make PROBE_HOST=jeff CUSTOM_SER=1
