[fpc-pascal] Arm Embedded Question

[Michael Ring]

LPC1343 Board uses a special JTAG interface that does not have open 
sourced driver support.

So if you do not want to use their GUI (based on Eclipse if I remember 
correctly) which is mainly C/C++ based then the easiest way is to cut 
the board in two pieces and to then connect it to an inexpensive ST-link 
V2 based JTAG probe or another JTAG probe that is supported by openocd 
project (At least on the mac it makes more sense to use an olimex JTAG 
probe together with openocd because stlink v2 support is quite new).

I have found this nice tutorial on how to connect the board to another 
JTAG debugger: https://uwe-arzt.de/20130115.html

I am currently extending Lazarus so that it natively supports connecting 
to a debugserver, I still have some problems with initial run command 
but if you can wait a few days you can help testing this integration.
