Subject: Is our use of Cygwin to build & run OpenOCD a good one?
Date: Sun, 19 May 2019 19:44:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ad7a93aa-d688-d177-bdf2-d368f2acbbd0@mindchasers.com> (raw)
Hi,
In case you're not familiar with it, OpenOCD is a hardware debugger that
natively runs on Linux:Â http://openocd.org/
We use it for embedded hardware development in debugging our ARM and
FPGA code via JTAG (e.g., set breakpoints, step through code, etc.). Â
For our use, it interfaces to our hardware via an FTDI USB-based JTAG
controller.
We recently wrote up our process on building OpenOCD using Cygwin on
Windows 10 and shared it on the OpenOCD mail list.  And, I received the
following feedback:
"Cygwin? this is probably still functional, but now can be considered a
(pre)historic solution."
I personally have been using Cygwin for many years and have come to
trust it for interfacing to Linux and macOS boxes from Windows. I think
it's a great project, so when I wanted to build & run OpenOCD from
scratch, I naturally went to Cygwin.
I would appreciate any feedback on our use of Cygwin for building &
running OpenOCD: https://mindchasers.com/dev/openocd-darsena-windows
If fellow Cygwin users think it's a poor use case, then we'll pull the
article.
Thanks!
Bob
