I mean the ARM port and maybe not the open source option? --- Quote Start --- If you have the USB-Blaster connected to the USB port on the ARM processor, and that ARM processor is running Linux, then you can look at the USBIP project: http://usbip.sourceforge.net/ I tested the following configuration; Freescale PowerPC QorIQ P2020 COM Express running Linux, with the BeMicro-SDK board plugged into the USB port (the board has an on-board USB-Blaster), and then ran USBIP server on that board. I had a USBIP client running on an Ubuntu 11.04 x86 64-bit laptop, and could program the BeMicro-SDK. --- Quote End --- That will not work with my setup since I'm having a ARM board + USB cable + [FX2 micro controller] + FPGA. I don't have a Fpga with nios and so I'm not able to use usbip. By the way I went to LinuxCon at Vancouvers and at the USB mini-summit they talk of a possible rewrite / replacement for the usbip : http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/ Hans have made nice and interesting presentation on the subject and offer a interesting solution on the user space... http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon/goede --- Quote Start --- However, if you are designing an ARM board with an FPGA, you can just programming the FPGA directly ... http://www.ovro.caltech.edu/~dwh/carma_board/fpga_configuration.pdf (http://www.ovro.caltech.edu/%7edwh/carma_board/fpga_configuration.pdf) But you would not have access to the SignalTapII logic analyzer, NIOS debugger, etc, using this latter method. --- Quote End --- Thx for the link but that link discuss about PS & FPP why not using JTAG? What's the benefit of using these 2? any open source project using these technics? I found this anyone have play with this? http://sourceforge.net/projects/urjtag/ Best Regards, kap
