Sometimes is is quite handy to have access to a JTAG interface to look more deeply into problems. The weapon of choice is an Olimex ARM-USB-OCD-H JTAG in combination with OpenOCD 0.8.0. First we will need to install OpenOCD.

apt-get install libftdi-dev
Download and extract OpenOCD 0.8.0
run ./configure
run make && make install

This should give you an OpenOCD installation with the following configuration:
