This _appears_ to be coming from arm7_9_dcc_completion(). That method is specified to be called at the end of an arm7_9 write memory block. It is the only place in the arm7_9 code base where we wait for that particular state.

Error: 300 217221 target.c:1794 target_wait_state(): timed out while waiting for target debug-running

But we didn't hit that state in time. This probably has to do with the fact that the device is already halted. This failure bubbles up and causes the overall flash to fail. I don't have a arm7_9 based device to test against, but I suggest someone step through the flash routine and specifically the arm7_9 run algorithm code.

I think I found the culprit. Not sure whether it's a bug or a feature, though...

Function "arm7_9_dcc_completion" calls "target_wait_state" to expect TARGET_DEBUG_RUNNING. The function "target_wait_state" will eventually call "arm7_9_poll". If one jumps to "arm7_9_common.c: 780", one can see that when "target->state" gets set to TARGET_HALTED if the polled state was TARGET_DEBUG_RUNNING.

I changed the parameter of "target_wait_state" on "arm7_9_dcc_completion" to TARGET_HALTED and the error I was encountering is now gone. However, I am now getting a "DCC write failed, expected end address 0x4080804c got 0x4080004c" after a message of "Using target buffer at 0x4080004c and of size 0x8000" so I have a little bit more digging to do.


That seems to imply that the target never resumed. That would explain why it is in the halted state when dcc complete is called. Take a careful look at the run_alogrithm_inner code and make sure that the target is actually restarted after the PC has been written.

Ideas and especially patches are very much appreciated! :)

Thanks!
