JTAG: Windows IoT debugging on Intel Galileo 2

As it was promised I will outline the steps to debug Windows IoT kernel running on Intel Galileo using JTAG interface .  Why does somebody need this? JTAG interface gives more power over hardware and provides deeper insight into hardware state.

  For debugging over JTAG using Windows host you will need

    - a hardware JTAG debugger, I use OLIMEX ARM-USB-OCD-H
    - an adapter from JTAG debugger to 10 pin connector, e.g. ARM-JTAG-20-10
    - OpenOCD to communicate with JTAG debugger and provide a debug server connection for GDB
    - MinGW for GDB

After everything have been assembled it looks like this
  


Then you need to start OpenOCD from cmd prompt by executing the following command
openocd-x64-0.9.0-dev.exe -f interface/ftdi/olimex-arm-usb-ocd-h.cfg  -f target/quark_x10xx.cfg

For example this is an output om my PC


this provides you with a GDB server on the port 3333 and telnet connection with the OpenOCD on the port 4444. So you can connect GDB to the server by providing a command target remote localhost:3333 to GDB, for example


 
you can also connect to OpenOCD via your favorite telnet client, mine is PuTTY
