Problem : Due to an erratum you need root access rights to run the JTAG debugger after installing it from the package l_MID_DBG_p_2.2.009_debuggers.tgz. If you try to start the debugger as a normal user it will crash.  


Environment : The problem has been verified on Fedora 13.


Root Cause : The debugger executable XDB has the wrong access rights. The 'other users' has no execute rights.


Resolution : Change the access rights for the debugger executable, XDB. It can be found in /opt/intel/atom/xdb/2.2.009/bin directory for the default installation.
Example:
    # cd /opt/intel/atom/xdb/2.2.009/bin
    # chmod a+x XDB
