This kit provides adapter boards that enable the Flyswatter to interface with the
BeagleBoard's JTAG and RS-232 headers.
Features:
- JTAG Adapter Board - This board plugs into the Flyswatter's 14-pin ARM JTAG connector and converts the pins to a 14-pin header that is compatible with the BeagleBoard's 14-pin JTAG interface (TI Interface). The Adapter board uses the 14-pin JTAG cable that comes with the Flyswatter.
- RS-232 Adapter Board - This board plugs into the Flyswatter's RS-232 connector and converts the serial port pins into a 10-pin header that is compatible with the BeagleBoard's 10-pin RS-232 interface.
- 10-pin Ribbon Cable - This cable is used to connect to the BeagleBoard's 10-pin RS-232 interface to the Flyswatter. Cable length = 8 inches.
- Open hardware – complete schematics provided
- Package Includes: JTAG adapter board, RS-232 adapter board, 10-pin RS-232 ribbon cable

Status update: OpenOCD JTAG support for the BeagleBoard
Dirk Behme
posted the following email on the BeagleBoard mailing list updating the current status of OpenOCD for the Beagle. The following is a copy of his email dated September 4, 2009:

Hi,
things are going slowly, but making some progress with OpenOCD and
Flyswatter JTAG debugging on OMAP3/Cortex A8/Beagle, I'd like to give
a short status update. Just in case somebody is interested (and likes
to help to further improve?) ;)
In the last days OpenOCD's Cortex A8 support got some additional
patches from Dave, Holger, Magnus and Matt. Some of these are already
applied, some not. But applying the pending patches to recent OpenOCD,
it's possible to
* halt
* resume
* ARM disassemble
* step
* set breakpoint
for non-Cache and non-MMU applications, e.g. U-Boot. There are still
some issues with Cache/MMU applications like Linux kernel.
