[fpc-pascal] Arm Embedded Question

[delphian at smythconsulting.net]

what about using a board like so

to covert an existing jtag debugger i use ? ( this one i have ->

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.
