FlySwatter
Orlando, Nov. 1, 2011
At the Q4.11 edition of Linaro Connect, David Anders from Tin Can Tools demonstrated two new devices his company made.
First, he showed Flyswatter 2, a cheap but fast JTAG interface compatible with the Beagle and Panda boards. With a little bit of extra wiring, this interface can also be used for debugging with other boards that Linaro supports.
What he showed was how to copy a Linux kernel to RAM on a Panda board, and directly boot this new kernel. This is much faster than manually copying the kernel to an SD card and booting it through U-boot. Of course, JTAG is mostly used for kernel debugging, in situations when a hardware debugger is often the only solution.
David went on by showing the new Beacon board, a small add-on for the Panda and Beagle boards, featuring a 7 segment LED display and a tri-colored LED, which can be controlled through GPIOs. I guess this add-on is mainly meant for educational purposes.
David Anders is one of the engineers that contributed most to the design of the Panda board.
