We do not offer support for this.

Cross compilation for Windows¶

Build MXE toolchain¶

Full instructions here: https://mxe.cc/

Get the repo:

git clone https://github.com/mxe/mxe.git

Compile required files:

# Basic mingw32
make -j cc
# USB/FTDI libs for openocd
make -j libusb1 libftdi1

Install or set PATH:

export PATH=/path_to_my_directory/mxe/usr/bin:$PATH

You now have the required “i686-w64-mingw32.static” compiler.

Build OpenOCD¶

Get OpenOCD latest version:

git clone https://github.com/ntfreak/openocd.git
cd openocd

./bootstrap
./configure --prefix= --host=i686-w64-mingw32.static --enable-ftdi

Build:

make pkgdatadir=

Create a Windows package layout:

make pkgdatadir= DESTDIR=/tmp/openocd install
cd /tmp

ls -l openocd/

WinUSB driver for Windows¶

Before using OpenOCD with the JTAG Cable, you need to replace the default FTDI driver with WinUSB.

To do that, download Zadig and run it.

Connect the JTAG Cable to your computer.
List all devices in Zadig.

Assign “WinUSB” driver to the device “Quad RS232-HS (Interface 0)”.

Done !
