The LPC2387 on the FEZ Panda is preprogrammed with a bootloader from GHI electronics as it's intended to be used with the Microsoft.NET embedded (or something) framework. It also has the JTAG port disabled, so the first thing I have to do is to get rid of bootloader and clear the chip. Helpfully, GHI provide a special firmware that erases the whole chip and removes all memory protections. You can currently get the file "USBizi_ERASE.zip" in from a directory on GHIs servers.
Steps to erase the FEZ Panda
The steps here are actually described in GHI's document Beginner's Guide to porting .NETMF, but I I'll summarize the steps as executed on a Linux machine:
Obtain
USBizi_ERASE.zip and unpack. You'll have to install the cu terminal emulator and the lrzsz x/y/z-modem protocol. Then write a short script (see below) to send "X" and then the included USBizi_ERASE.GHI via xmodem-1k-crc16. Connect the first UART of the FEZ-Panda to a suitable 3.3v CMOS serial port (e.g. a ft232 usb to serial module). Connect the MODE pin on the unpopulated pads on the short edge of the PCB opposing the USB/Power connector side to GND. Press the reset-button marked RST while holding the LDR button next to it.In the serial terminal, you should see the
BL prompt of the bootloader, start the script to send "X" followed by the xmodem-upload, then wait for the included software to erase the board.[distress /home/chris/Downloads] $ cat erase.sh #!/bin/sh echo -n "X" sx -k -o -vv USBizi_ERASE/USBizi_ERASE.GHI [distress /home/chris/Downloads] $ cu -l ttyUSB0 -s 115200 BL BL BL BL ~+./erase.sh Sending ./erase.ghi, 2696 blocks: Give your local XMODEM receive command now.

Now the USBizi is erased and the "usual" LPC bootloader takes over on the serial port, at 9600 bits per second:
[distress /home/chris/Downloads] $ cu -l ttyUSB0 -s 9600 Connected. Synchronized
JTAG now works:
