Programing AmiLoop with Raspberry Pi

Install OpenOCD

Install the tools we need to get and compile OpenOCD:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install automake autoconf build-essential texinfo libtool libftdi-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev

Download the latest source code for OpenOCD with:

git clone http://openocd.zylin.com/openocd

Configure for the Pi and it's gpio:

cd openocd
./bootstrap
./configure --enable-sysfsgpio --enable-bcm2835gpio

Make and install:

make
sudo make install

Connect the AmiLoop

Make the following connections between the AmiLoop and the Pi

AmiLoop	↔	Raspberry Pi	Pin #
Vin	↔	3.3v	1
GND	↔	GND	20
IO	↔	GPIO 8	24
CLK	↔	GPIO 11	23

The end result should look like this (ignore brown wire in picture):

Flash the AmiLoop

From the root of this repository run the following command:

openocd -f amiloopv4.cfg

To flash the older v3 firmware instead, use this command:

openocd -f amiloopv3.cfg

To flash a different hex file, make a copy of one of the cfg files and modify the file name on line 11
