JTAG¶
This IoT-Bus module provides JTAG debugging for the Io and Proteus boards (can be used with other boards too, see wiring connections below).
Both the Io and Proteus processor boards can accept a specially designed JTAG board offering hardware debugging. Our JTAG board is based on the FT232H and it enables comprehensive JTAG debugging support. You can use OpenOCD and GDB in combination to use it but our recommendation is to use PlatformIO. PlatformIO has taken away all the hard work of configuring OpenOCD and GDB. You simply select it is your debugging choice as described here. Take a look at how easy it is to use with PlatformIO’s Unified Debugger. Just plug it in and start debugging! No more printing to the terminal!
PlatformIO Configuration¶
You can configure the debugging tool using the debug_tool option in platformio.ini. If you are using an Io board (iotbusio in Platformio) or a Proteus board (iotbusproteus in PlatformIO) then you do not need to explicitly set debug_tool as it will be set implicitly:
[env:myenv]
platform = ...
board = ...
debug_tool = iot-bus-jtag
