Following step by step

- Install FTDI USB Driver can download from http://www.parallax.com/Portals/0/Downloads/sw/uty/USBDriverInstallerV2.04.06.exe

- Install Propeller Tool Software v1.2 can download from http://www.parallax.com/Portals/0/Downloads/sw/propeller/Setup-Propeller-Tool-v1.2.exe

- Supply power 6v-9v DC to Parallax Propeller P8X32 Education Board, red LED light is ON

- Connect Parallax Propeller P8X32 Education Board to Computer USB port, Windows will recognize your Parallax Propeller P8X32 Education Board and blue LED light is ON.

- Open Propeller Tool Software and write sample code for blink P16 pin.

You can download a schematic of Parallax Propeller P8X32 Education Board from http://www.micro4you.com/files/propeller/propeller.jpg

From tested, it work very perfect with H-Link ARM JTAG.

- Install WinAVR20080610. Can download from http://winavr.sourceforge.net/download.html , How to fix a problem of USBasp with WinAVR20080610 http://www.friendlyarm.com/fixed-a-problem-usbasp-in-winavr20080610/

- Install Eclipse 3.4 Ganymede by select Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers papckage, included CDT 5.0 (Eclipse’s C/C++ Development Tooling) in the package. When download complete. unzip to your install drive such as C:\eclipse , open eclipse program and select Workbench icon (only first time).

- Install AVR Eclipse Plugin by go to menu Help / Software Updates, when open a new window select Available Software, and press Add Site… button. add http://avr-eclipse.sourceforge.net/updatesite in Location: and press OK

Select AVR Eclipse Plugin and press install… button, the update will be start.

The next window review and confirm the package will be install, press Finish

Later the update process will restart Eclipse, press Yes. Now you have installed the AVR Eclipse plugin

Enjoy! Now you have open source IDE and C Compiler on Windows OS. Next step i will show how to configure the AVR Project on Eclipse IDE.

avrdude: error: could not find USB device “USBasp” with vid=0×16c0 pid=0×5dc

Because a driver version 0.1.10.1 (USBasp driver) not compatible with libusb DLL version 0.1.12.1 in WinAVR20080610. If you have a old USBasp driver still in your computer. must uninstall before. Can uninstall by goto Star->Control Panel->System->Hardware->Device Manager When Windows recognize with your USBasp device.

Download a new Windows driver (libusb DLL 0.1.12.1) for USBasp from USBasp-driver-0.1.12.1.zip unplug USBasp then plugin USBasp to USB Port again. Windows will recognize and request to install a new driver.

When install complete, test USBasp device again. Now work prefect.

Thanks thomasATulrichradigDE from avrfreaks for a new driver. 

But on Ubuntu 8.04 not have Eclipse 3.3 in repository, you must use manual install.

1. Before install Eclipse 3.3 you must have a Java 6 from SUN on your computer. check on Ubuntu

$java -version

If your computer have a Java GNU version, you must install a Java 6 from SUN

$sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jdk

When install complete, check a default jvm by:

$update-java-alternatives -l

you should get output similar to this:

>java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
>java-gcj 1042 /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj

set the right jvm by use command:

$sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

and insert /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun on the top of file /etc/jvm ($sudo gedit /etc/jvm)

$cat /etc/jvm
# This file defines the default system JVM search order. Each
# JVM should list their JAVA_HOME compatible directory in this file.
# The default system JVM is the first one available from top to
# bottom.
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
/usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj
/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-1.5.0-sun
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun
/usr

Check a version of Java again.

$java -version
java version “1.6.0_06″
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_06-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 10.0-b22, mixed mode, sharing)

All Ok

2. Download Eclipse 3.3.2 from here

When download complete, make a new folder for install Eclipse

$sudo mkdir /usr/local/opt

Extract Eclipse archive to a new folder

tar -zxf your.downloaded.eclipse.version.tar.gz -C /usr/local/opt

Run Eclipse

$cd /usr/local/opt/eclipse
$./eclipse

Enjoy!!

PS. Eclipse out a new version 3.4 but i still never test it yet.

H-Link case : 25 pin D-SUB Cover easy for open.

H-Link have two buffer. for input, output signal between ARM board and Parallel Port. Can protect a high noise current and give a stable signal when use with long Parallel Port Cable ( I tested with 1.8 meter Parallel Port Cable, It work perfect )

Have a good news, in next version H-JTAG Software have plan to supports Cortex-M3

Setting same a following picture.

In TCK Speed you can change to low speed.

After setting you must close a H-JTAG Server program, connect H-Link JTAG cable to your ARM board and plug-in H-Link with Parallel Port (can use Parallel Port cable). Open a H-JTAG Server software again, H-JTAG Server will recognize your ARM board.

Open Flasher software by click on Flasher menu. select type of ARM MCUs (your ARM board) in Flash Selection section. I test with LPC2378 ARM board

In Programming section, you can Erase, Check Blank or Program your hex file to ARM board.

More informations and how to integrate with IAR Embedded Workbench for debug ARM board can see in H-JTAG User Manual

Enjoy..
