using a Saleae Logic 8 with openOCD

[kenn]

Has anyone done this before. I have an old Linksys board and I have soldered on a JTAG header, I am trying to experiment with openOCD and since my wife bought me a cool new Saleae logic 8 I assumed that was the best thing to use to interface with it however when I look at the pre-existing configurations that ship with openOCD I don't see one for the Saleae. I see a config for the chip I am trying to talk to (a Samsung s3c4510b01) but nothing for the interface.

I should also point out that I very little experience with this and just doing some exploring, trying to read the flash if I can so any help would be great. Specifically how do I connect openOCD to the Saleae?

Thanks

The Saleae Logic is a logic analyzer designed to only receive logic signals. I believe the Saleae software can decode JTAG, but this does not allow it to program something or perform a boundary scan. JTAG is a two-way protocol requiring both inputs and outputs. While it may be possible to use the Saleae Logic as a JTAG dongle with a custom firmware, this is not something that is built in either the Saleae or OpenOCD software, and I am not aware of such a project. There are various cheap JTAG dongles available, for example the FT2232 based ones and Versaloon, that should work out of the box with OpenOCD.
