90 The Open On-Chip Debugger (OpenOCD) aims to provide debugging,
91 in-system programming and boundary-scan testing for embedded target
92 devices.
93
94 @b{JTAG:} OpenOCD uses a ``hardware interface dongle'' to communicate
95 with the JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) complient taps on your target board.
96
97 @b{Dongles:} OpenOCD currently many types of hardware dongles: USB
98 Based, Parallel Port Based, and other standalone boxes that run
99 OpenOCD internally. See the section titled: @xref{JTAG Hardware
100 Dongles}.
101
102 @b{GDB Debug:} It allows ARM7 (ARM7TDMI and ARM720t), ARM9 (ARM920t,
103 ARM922t, ARM926ej--s, ARM966e--s), XScale (PXA25x, IXP42x) and
104 Cortex-M3 (Luminary Stellaris LM3 and ST STM32) based cores to be
105 debugged via the GDB Protocol.
106
107 @b{Flash Programing:} Flash writing is supported for external CFI
108 compatible flashes (Intel and AMD/Spansion command set) and several
109 internal flashes (LPC2000, AT91SAM7, STR7x, STR9x, LM3 and
110 STM32x). Preliminary support for using the LPC3180's NAND flash
111 controller is included.

117 OpenOCD was created by Dominic Rath as part of a diploma thesis written at the
118 University of Applied Sciences Augsburg (@uref{http://www.fh-augsburg.de}).
119 Others interested in improving the state of free and open debug and testing technology
120 are welcome to participate.
121
122 Other developers have contributed support for additional targets and flashes as well
123 as numerous bugfixes and enhancements. See the AUTHORS file for regular contributors.

129 @cindex building OpenOCD
130
131 If you are interested in getting actual work done rather than building
132 OpenOCD, then check if your interface supplier provides binaries for
133 you. Chances are that that binary is from some SVN version that is more
134 stable than SVN trunk where bleeding edge development takes place.
135
136
137 You can download the current SVN version with SVN client of your choice from the
138 following repositories:
139
140 (@uref{svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk})
141
142 or
143
144 (@uref{http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/openocd/trunk})
145
146 Using the SVN command line client, you can use the following command to fetch the
147 latest version (make sure there is no (non-svn) directory called "openocd" in the
148 current directory):
149
150 @example
151 svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk openocd
152 @end example
153
154 Building OpenOCD requires a recent version of the GNU autotools.
155 On my build system, I'm using autoconf 2.13 and automake 1.9. For building on Windows,
156 you have to use Cygwin. Make sure that your @env{PATH} environment variable contains no
157 other locations with Unix utils (like UnxUtils) - these can't handle the Cygwin
158 paths, resulting in obscure dependency errors (This is an observation I've gathered
159 from the logs of one user - correct me if I'm wrong).
160
161 You further need the appropriate driver files, if you want to build support for
162 a FTDI FT2232 based interface:
163 @itemize @bullet
164 @item @b{ftdi2232} libftdi (@uref{http://www.intra2net.com/opensource/ftdi/})
165 @item @b{ftd2xx} libftd2xx (@uref{http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm})
166 @item When using the Amontec JTAGkey, you have to get the drivers from the Amontec
167 homepage (@uref{www.amontec.com}), as the JTAGkey uses a non-standard VID/PID.
168 @end itemize
169
170 libftdi is supported under windows. Versions earlier than 0.13 will require patching.
171 see contrib/libftdi for more details.
172
173 In general, the D2XX driver provides superior performance (several times as fast),
174 but has the draw-back of being binary-only - though that isn't that bad, as it isn't
175 a kernel module, only a user space library.
176
177 To build OpenOCD (on both Linux and Cygwin), use the following commands:
178 @example
179 ./bootstrap
180 @end example
181 Bootstrap generates the configure script, and prepares building on your system.
182 @example
183 ./configure
184 @end example
185 Configure generates the Makefiles used to build OpenOCD.
186 @example
187 make
188 @end example
189 Make builds OpenOCD, and places the final executable in ./src/.
190
191 The configure script takes several options, specifying which JTAG interfaces
192 should be included:
193
194 @itemize @bullet
195 @item
196 @option{--enable-parport}
197 @item

205 @footnote{Using the latest D2XX drivers from FTDI and following their installation
206 instructions, I had to use @option{--enable-ft2232_libftd2xx} for OpenOCD to
207 build properly.}
208 @item
209 @option{--enable-ft2232_libftdi}

219 @option{--enable-presto_ftd2xx}
220 @item
221 @option{--enable-jlink}
222 @end itemize
223
224 If you want to access the parallel port using the PPDEV interface you have to specify
225 both the @option{--enable-parport} AND the @option{--enable-parport_ppdev} option since
226 the @option{--enable-parport_ppdev} option actually is an option to the parport driver
227 (see @uref{http://forum.sparkfun.com/viewtopic.php?t=3795} for more info).
228
229 Cygwin users have to specify the location of the FTDI D2XX package. This should be an
230 absolute path containing no spaces.
231
232 Linux users should copy the various parts of the D2XX package to the appropriate
233 locations, i.e. /usr/include, /usr/lib.

261 @section Choosing a Dongle
262
263 There are three things you should keep in mind when choosing a dongle.
264
265 @enumerate
266 @item @b{Voltage} What voltage is your target? 1.8, 2.8, 3.3, or 5V? Does your dongle support it?
267 @item @b{Connection} Printer Ports - Does your computer have one?
268 @item @b{Connection} Is that long printer bit-bang cable practical?
269 @item @b{RTCK} Do you require RTCK? Also known as ``adaptive clocking''

274 @b{ZY1000} See: @url{http://www.zylin.com/zy1000.html} Technically, not a
275 dongle, but a standalone box.
276
277 @section USB FT2232 Based
278
279 There are many USB jtag dongles on the market, many of them are based
280 on a chip from ``Future Technology Devices International'' (FTDI)
281 known as the FTDI FT2232.

412 --log_output | -l redirect log output to file <name>
413 --command | -c run <command>
414 @end verbatim
415
416 By default openocd reads the file configuration file ``openocd.cfg''
417 in the current directory. To specify a different (or multiple)
418 configuration file, you can use the ``-f'' option. For example:
419
420 @example
421 openocd -f config1.cfg -f config2.cfg -f config3.cfg
422 @end example
423
424 Once started, OpenOCD runs as a daemon, waiting for connections from
425 clients (Telnet, GDB, Other).
426
427 If you are having problems, you can enable internal debug messages via
428 the ``-d'' option.
429
430 Also it is possible to interleave commands w/config scripts using the
431 @option{-c} command line switch.
432
433 To enable debug output (when reporting problems or working on OpenOCD
434 itself), use the @option{-d} command line switch. This sets the
435 @option{debug_level} to "3", outputting the most information,
436 including debug messages. The default setting is "2", outputting only
437 informational messages, warnings and errors. You can also change this
438 setting from within a telnet or gdb session using @option{debug_level
439 <n>} @xref{debug_level}.
440
441 You can redirect all output from the daemon to a file using the
442 @option{-l <logfile>} switch.
443
444 Search paths for config/script files can be added to OpenOCD by using
445 the @option{-s <search>} switch. The current directory and the OpenOCD
446 target library is in the search path by default.
447
448 Note! OpenOCD will launch the GDB & telnet server even if it can not
449 establish a connection with the target. In general, it is possible for
450 the JTAG controller to be unresponsive until the target is set up
451 correctly via e.g. GDB monitor commands in a GDB init script.

454 @chapter Simple Configuration Files
455 @cindex configuration
456
457 @section Outline
458 There are 4 basic ways of ``configurating'' openocd to run, they are:
459
460 @enumerate
461 @item A small openocd.cfg file which ``sources'' other configuration files
462 @item A monolithic openocd.cfg file
463 @item Many -f filename options on the command line
464 @item Your Mixed Solution
465 @end enumerate
466
467 @section Small configuration file method
468
469 This is the prefered method, it is simple and is works well for many
470 people. The developers of OpenOCD would encourage you to use this
471 method. If you create a new configuration please email new
472 configurations to the development list.
473
474 Here is an example of an openocd.cfg file for an ATMEL at91sam7x256
475
476 @example
477 source [find interface/signalyzer.cfg]
478
479 # Change the default telnet port...
480 telnet_port 4444
481 # GDB connects here
482 gdb_port 3333
483 # GDB can also flash my flash!
484 gdb_memory_map enable
485 gdb_flash_program enable
486
487 source [find target/sam7x256.cfg]
488 @end example
489
490 There are many example configuration scripts you can work with. You
491 should look in the directory: @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/lib/openocd}. You
492 should find:
493
494 @enumerate
495 @item @b{board} - eval board level configurations
496 @item @b{interface} - specific dongle configurations
497 @item @b{target} - the target chips
498 @item @b{tcl} - helper scripts
499 @item @b{xscale} - things specific to the xscale.
500 @end enumerate
501
502 Look first in the ``boards'' area, then the ``targets'' area. Often a board
503 configuration is a good example to work from.
504
505 @section Many -f filename options
506 Some believe this is a wonderful solution, others find it painful.
507
508 You can use a series of ``-f filename'' options on the command line,
509 OpenOCD will read each filename in sequence, for example:
510
511 @example
512 openocd -f file1.cfg -f file2.cfg -f file2.cfg
513 @end example
514
515 You can also intermix various commands with the ``-c'' command line
516 option.
517
518 @section Monolithic file
519 The ``Monolithic File'' dispenses with all ``source'' statements and
520 puts everything in one self contained (monolithic) file. This is not
521 encouraged.
522
523 Please try to ``source'' various files or use the multiple -f
524 technique.
525
526 @section Advice for you
527 Often, one uses a ``mixed approach''. Where possible, please try to
528 ``source'' common things, and if needed cut/paste parts of the
529 standard distribution configuration files as needed.
530
531 @b{REMEMBER:} The ``important parts'' of your configuration file are:
532
533 @enumerate
534 @item @b{Interface} - Defines the dongle
535 @item @b{Taps} - Defines the JTAG Taps
536 @item @b{GDB Targets} - What GDB talks to
537 @item @b{Flash Programing} - Very Helpful
538 @end enumerate
539
540 Some key things you should look at and understand are:
541
542 @enumerate
543 @item The RESET configuration of your debug environment as a hole

552 @node Config File Guidelines
553 @chapter Config File Guidelines
554
555 This section/chapter is aimed at developers and integrators of
556 OpenOCD. These are guidelines for creating new boards and new target
557 configurations as of 28/Nov/2008.
558
559 However, you the user of OpenOCD should be some what familiar with
560 this section as it should help explain some of the internals of what
561 you might be looking at.
562
563 The user should find under @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/lib/openocd} the
564 following directories:
565
566 @itemize @bullet
567 @item @b{interface}
568 @*Think JTAG Dongle. Files that configure the jtag dongle go here.
569 @item @b{board}
570 @* Thing Circuit Board, PWA, PCB, they go by many names. Board files
571 contain initialization items that are specific to a board - for
572 example: The SDRAM initialization sequence for the board, or the type
573 of external flash and what address it is found at. Any initialization
574 sequence to enable that external flash or sdram should be found in the
575 board file. Boards may also contain multiple targets, ie: Two cpus, or
576 a CPU and an FPGA or CPLD.
577 @item @b{target}
578 @* Think CHIP. The ``target'' directory represents a jtag tap (or
579 chip) OpenOCD should control, not a board. Two common types of targets
580 are ARM chips and FPGA or CPLD chips.
581 @end itemize
582
583 @b{If needed...} The user in their ``openocd.cfg'' file or the board
584 file might override a specific feature in any of the above files by
585 setting a variable or two before sourcing the target file. Or adding
586 various commands specific to their situation.
587
588 @section Interface Config Files
589
590 The user should be able to source one of these files via a command like this:
591
592 @example
593 source [find interface/FOOBAR.cfg]
594 Or:
595 openocd -f interface/FOOBAR.cfg
596 @end example
597
598 A preconfigured interface file should exist for every interface in use
599 today, that said, perhaps some interfaces have only been used by the
600 sole developer who created it.
601
602 @b{FIXME/NOTE:} We need to add support for a variable like TCL variable
603 tcl_platform(platform), it should be called jim_platform (because it
604 is jim, not real tcl) and it should contain 1 of 3 words: ``linux'',
605 ``cygwin'' or ``mingw''
606
607 Interface files should be found in @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/lib/openocd/interface}
608
609 @section Board Config Files
610
611 @b{Note: BOARD directory NEW as of 28/nov/2008}
612
613 The user should be able to source one of these files via a command like this:
614
615 @example
616 source [find board/FOOBAR.cfg]
617 Or:
618 openocd -f board/FOOBAR.cfg
619 @end example
620
621
622 The board file should contain one or more @t{source [find
623 target/FOO.cfg]} statements along with any board specific things.
624
625 In summery the board files should contain (if present)
626
627 @enumerate
628 @item External flash configuration (ie: the flash on CS0)
629 @item SDRAM configuration (size, speed, etc)
630 @item Board specific IO configuration (ie: GPIO pins might disable a 2nd flash)
631 @item Multiple TARGET source statements
632 @item All things that are not ``inside a chip''
633 @item Things inside a chip go in a 'target' file
634 @end enumerate
635
636 @section Target Config Files
637
638 The user should be able to source one of these files via a command like this:
639
640 @example
641 source [find target/FOOBAR.cfg]
642 Or:
643 openocd -f target/FOOBAR.cfg
644 @end example
645
646 In summery the target files should contain
647
648 @enumerate
649 @item Set Defaults
650 @item Create Taps
651 @item Reset Configuration
652 @item Work Areas
653 @item CPU/Chip/CPU-Core Specific features
654 @item OnChip Flash
655 @end enumerate
656
657 @subsection Important variable names
658
659 By default, the end user should never need to set these
660 variables. However, if the user needs to override a setting they only
661 need to set the variable in a simple way.
662
663 @itemize @bullet
664 @item @b{CHIPNAME}
665 @* This gives a name to the overall chip, and is used as part of the
666 tap identifier dotted name.
667 @item @b{ENDIAN}
668 @* By default little - unless the chip or board is not normally used that way.
669 @item @b{CPUTAPID}
670 @* When OpenOCD examines the JTAG chain, it will attempt to identify
671 every chip. If the @t{-expected-id} is nonzero, OpenOCD attempts
672 to verify the tap id number verses configuration file and may issue an
673 error or warning like this. The hope is this will help pin point
674 problem openocd configurations.
675
676 @example
677 Info: JTAG tap: sam7x256.cpu tap/device found: 0x3f0f0f0f (Manufacturer: 0x787, Part: 0xf0f0, Version: 0x3)
678 Error: ERROR: Tap: sam7x256.cpu - Expected id: 0x12345678, Got: 0x3f0f0f0f
679 Error: ERROR: expected: mfg: 0x33c, part: 0x2345, ver: 0x1
680 Error: ERROR: got: mfg: 0x787, part: 0xf0f0, ver: 0x3
681 @end example
682
683 @item @b{_TARGETNAME}
684 @* By convention, this variable is created by the target configuration
685 script. The board configuration file may make use of this variable to
686 configure things like a ``reset init'' script, or other things
687 specific to that board and that target.
688
689 If the chip has 2 targets, use the names @b{_TARGETNAME0},
690 @b{_TARGETNAME1}, ... etc.
691
692 @b{Remember:} The ``board file'' may include multiple targets.
693
694 At no time should the name ``target0'' (the default target name if
695 none was specified) be used. The name ``target0'' is a hard coded name
696 - the next target on the board will be some other number.
697
698 The user (or board file) should reasonably be able to:
699
700 @example
701 source [find target/FOO.cfg]
702 $_TARGETNAME configure ... FOO specific parameters
703
704 source [find target/BAR.cfg]
705 $_TARGETNAME configure ... BAR specific parameters
706 @end example
707
708 @end itemize
709
710 @subsection TCL Variables Guide Line
711 The Full Tcl/Tk language supports ``namespaces'' - JIM-Tcl does not.
712
713 Thus the rule we follow in OpenOCD is this: Variables that begin with
714 a leading underscore are temporal in nature, and can be modified and
715 used at will within a ?TARGET? configuration file
716
717 @b{EXAMPLE:} The user should be able to do this:
718
719 @example
720 # Board has 3 chips,
721 # PXA270 #1 network side, big endian
722 # PXA270 #2 video side, little endian
723 # Xilinx Glue logic
724 set CHIPNAME network
725 set ENDIAN big
726 source [find target/pxa270.cfg]
727 # variable: _TARGETNAME = network.cpu
728 # other commands can refer to the "network.cpu" tap.
729 $_TARGETNAME configure .... params for this cpu..
730
731 set ENDIAN little
732 set CHIPNAME video
733 source [find target/pxa270.cfg]
734 # variable: _TARGETNAME = video.cpu
735 # other commands can refer to the "video.cpu" tap.
736 $_TARGETNAME configure .... params for this cpu..
737
738 unset ENDIAN
739 set CHIPNAME xilinx
740 source [find target/spartan3.cfg]
741
742 # Since $_TARGETNAME is temporal..
743 # these names still work!
744 network.cpu configure ... params
745 video.cpu configure ... params
746
747 @end example
748
749 @subsection Default Value Boiler Plate Code
750
751 All target configuration files should start with this (or a modified form)
752
753 @example
754 # SIMPLE example
755 if @{ [info exists CHIPNAME] @} @{
756 set _CHIPNAME $CHIPNAME
757 @} else @{
758 set _CHIPNAME sam7x256
759 @}
760
761 if @{ [info exists ENDIAN] @} @{
762 set _ENDIAN $ENDIAN
763 @} else @{
764 set _ENDIAN little
765 @}
766
767 if @{ [info exists CPUTAPID ] @} @{
768 set _CPUTAPID $CPUTAPID
769 @} else @{
770 set _CPUTAPID 0x3f0f0f0f
771 @}
772
773 @end example
774
775 @subsection Creating Taps
776 After the ``defaults'' are choosen, [see above], the taps are created.
777
778 @b{SIMPLE example:} such as an Atmel AT91SAM7X256
779
780 @example
781 # for an ARM7TDMI.
782 set _TARGETNAME [format "%s.cpu" $_CHIPNAME]
783 jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME cpu -irlen 4 -ircapture 0x1 -irmask 0xf -expected-id $_CPUTAPID
784 @end example
785
786 @b{COMPLEX example:}
787
788 This is an SNIP/example for an STR912 - which has 3 internal taps. Key features shown:
789
790 @enumerate
791 @item @b{Unform tap names} - See: Tap Naming Convention
792 @item @b{_TARGETNAME} is created at the end where used.
793 @end enumerate
794
795 @example
796 if @{ [info exists FLASHTAPID ] @} @{
797 set _FLASHTAPID $FLASHTAPID
798 @} else @{
799 set _FLASHTAPID 0x25966041
800 @}
801 jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME flash -irlen 8 -ircapture 0x1 -irmask 0x1 -expected-id $_FLASHTAPID
802
803 if @{ [info exists CPUTAPID ] @} @{
804 set _CPUTAPID $CPUTAPID
805 @} else @{
806 set _CPUTAPID 0x25966041
807 @}
808 jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME cpu -irlen 4 -ircapture 0xf -irmask 0xe -expected-id $_CPUTAPID
809
810
811 if @{ [info exists BSTAPID ] @} @{
812 set _BSTAPID $BSTAPID
813 @} else @{
814 set _BSTAPID 0x1457f041
815 @}
816 jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME bs -irlen 5 -ircapture 0x1 -irmask 0x1 -expected-id $_BSTAPID
817
818 set _TARGETNAME [format "%s.cpu" $_CHIPNAME]
819 @end example
820
821 @b{Tap Naming Convention}
822
823 See the command ``jtag newtap'' for detail, but in breif the names you should use are:
824
825 @itemize @bullet
826 @item @b{tap}
827 @item @b{cpu}
828 @item @b{flash}
829 @item @b{bs}
830 @item @b{jrc}
831 @item @b{unknownN} - it happens :-(
832 @end itemize
833
834 @subsection Reset Configuration
835
836 Some chips have specific ways the TRST and SRST signals are
837 managed. If these are @b{CHIP SPECIFIC} they go here, if they are
838 @b{BOARD SPECIFIC} they go in the board file.
839
840 @subsection Work Areas
841
842 Work areas are small RAM areas used by OpenOCD to speed up downloads,
843 and to download small snippits of code to program flash chips.
844
845 If the chip includes an form of ``on-chip-ram'' - and many do - define
846 a reasonable work area and use the ``backup'' option.
847
848 @b{PROBLEMS:} On more complex chips, this ``work area'' may become
849 inaccessable if/when the application code enables or disables the MMU.
850
851 @subsection ARM Core Specific Hacks
852
853 If the chip has a DCC, enable it. If the chip is an arm9 with some
854 special high speed download - enable it.
855
856 If the chip has an ARM ``vector catch'' feature - by defeault enable
857 it for Undefined Instructions, Data Abort, and Prefetch Abort, if the
858 user is really writing a handler for those situations - they can
859 easily disable it. Experiance has shown the ``vector catch'' is
860 helpful - for common programing errors.
861
862 If present, the MMU, the MPU and the CACHE should be disabled.
863
864 @subsection Internal Flash Configuration
865
866 This applies @b{ONLY TO MICROCONTROLLERS} that have flash built in.
867
868 @b{Never ever} in the ``target configuration file'' define any type of
869 flash that is external to the chip. (For example the BOOT flash on
870 Chip Select 0). The BOOT flash information goes in a board file - not
871 the TARGET (chip) file.
872
873 Examples:
874 @itemize @bullet
875 @item at91sam7x256 - has 256K flash YES enable it.
876 @item str912 - has flash internal YES enable it.
877 @item imx27 - uses boot flash on CS0 - it goes in the board file.
878 @item pxa270 - again - CS0 flash - it goes in the board file.

881 @node About JIM-Tcl
882 @chapter About JIM-Tcl
883 @cindex JIM Tcl
884 @cindex tcl
885
886 OpenOCD includes a small ``TCL Interpreter'' known as JIM-TCL. You can
887 learn more about JIM here: @url{http://jim.berlios.de}
888
889 @itemize @bullet
890 @item @b{JIM vrs TCL}
891 @* JIM-TCL is a stripped down version of the well known Tcl language,
892 which can be found here: @url{http://www.tcl.tk}. JIM-Tcl has far
893 fewer features. JIM-Tcl is a single .C file and a single .H file and
894 impliments the basic TCL command set along. In contrast: Tcl 8.6 is a
895 4.2MEG zip file containing 1540 files.
896
897 @item @b{Missing Features}
898 @* Our practice has been: Add/clone the Real TCL feature if/when
899 needed. We welcome JIM Tcl improvements, not bloat.
900
901 @item @b{Scripts}
902 @* OpenOCD configuration scripts are JIM Tcl Scripts. OpenOCD's
903 command interpretor today (28/nov/2008) is a mixture of (newer)
904 JIM-Tcl commands, and (older) the orginal command interpretor.
905
906 @item @b{Commands}
907 @* At the openocd telnet command line (or via the GDB mon command) one
908 can type a Tcl for() loop, set variables, etc.
909
910 @item @b{Historical Note}
911 @* JIM-Tcl was introduced to OpenOCD in Spring 2008.

918 @node Daemon Configuration
919 @chapter Daemon Configuration
920 The commands here are commonly found inthe openocd.cfg file and are
921 used to specify what TCP/IP ports are used, and how GDB should be
922 supported.
923 @section init
924 @cindex init
925 This command terminates the configuration stage and
926 enters the normal command mode. This can be useful to add commands to
927 the startup scripts and commands such as resetting the target,
928 programming flash, etc. To reset the CPU upon startup, add "init" and
929 "reset" at the end of the config script or at the end of the OpenOCD
930 command line using the @option{-c} command line switch.
931
932 If this command does not appear in any startup/configuration file
933 OpenOCD executes the command for you after processing all
934 configuration files and/or command line options.
935
936 @b{NOTE:} This command normally occurs at or near the end of your
937 openocd.cfg file to force OpenOCD to ``initialize'' and make the
938 targets ready. For example: If your openocd.cfg file needs to
939 read/write memory on your target - the init command must occur before
940 the memory read/write commands.

942 @section TCP/IP Ports
943 @itemize @bullet

966 @*Force breakpoint type for gdb 'break' commands.
967 The raison d'etre for this option is to support GDB GUI's without
968 a hard/soft breakpoint concept where the default OpenOCD and
969 GDB behaviour is not sufficient. Note that GDB will use hardware
970 breakpoints if the memory map has been set up for flash regions.

1207
1208 It is debatable if this command belongs here - or in a board
1209 configuration file. In fact, in some situations the jtag speed is
1210 changed during the target initialization process (ie: (1) slow at
1211 reset, (2) program the cpu clocks, (3) run fast)
1212
1213 Speed 0 (khz) selects RTCK method. A non-zero speed is in KHZ. Hence: 3000 is 3mhz.
1214
1215 Not all interfaces support ``rtck''. If the interface device can not
1216 support the rate asked for, or can not translate from kHz to
1217 jtag_speed, then an error is returned.
1218
1219 Make sure the jtag clock is no more than @math{1/6th × CPU-Clock}. This is
1220 especially true for synthesized cores (-S). Also see RTCK.
1221
1222 @b{NOTE: Script writers} If the target chip requires/uses RTCK -
1223 please use the command: 'jtag_rclk FREQ'. This TCL proc (in

1225 the specified frequency.

1275 @b{Note:} To maintainer types and integrators. Where exactly the
1276 ``reset configuration'' goes is a good question. It touches several
1277 things at once. In the end, if you have a board file - the board file
1278 should define it and assume 100% that the DONGLE supports
1279 anything. However, that does not mean the target should not also make
1280 not of something the silicon vendor has done inside the

1282
1283 @* @b{Problems:}
1284 @enumerate
1285 @item Every JTAG Dongle is slightly different, some dongles impliment reset differently.
1286 @item Every board is also slightly different; some boards tie TRST and SRST together.
1287 @item Every chip is slightly different; some chips internally tie the two signals together.
1288 @item Some may not impliment all of the signals the same way.
1289 @item Some signals might be push-pull, others open-drain/collector.
1290 @end enumerate
1291 @b{Best Case:} OpenOCD can hold the SRST (push-button-reset), then
1292 reset the TAP via TRST and send commands through the JTAG tap to halt
1293 the CPU at the reset vector before the 1st instruction is executed,
1294 and finally release the SRST signal.
1295 @*Depending upon your board vendor, your chip vendor, etc, these
1296 signals may have slightly different names.
1297
1298 OpenOCD defines these signals in these terms:
1299 @itemize @bullet
1300 @item @b{TRST} - is Tap Reset - and should reset only the TAP.
1301 @item @b{SRST} - is System Reset - typically equal to a reset push button.

1308 @cindex reset_config
1309 @* The @t{reset_config} command tells OpenOCD the reset configuration
1310 of your combination of Dongle, Board, and Chips.
1311 If the JTAG interface provides SRST, but the target doesn't connect
1312 that signal properly, then OpenOCD can't use it. <@var{signals}> can
1313 be @option{none}, @option{trst_only}, @option{srst_only} or
1314 @option{trst_and_srst}.
1315
1316 [@var{combination}] is an optional value specifying broken reset
1317 signal implementations. @option{srst_pulls_trst} states that the
1318 testlogic is reset together with the reset of the system (e.g. Philips
1319 LPC2000, "broken" board layout), @option{trst_pulls_srst} says that
1320 the system is reset together with the test logic (only hypothetical, I
1321 haven't seen hardware with such a bug, and can be worked around).
1322 @option{combined} imples both @option{srst_pulls_trst} and
1323 @option{trst_pulls_srst}. The default behaviour if no option given is
1324 @option{separate}.
1325
1326 The [@var{trst_type}] and [@var{srst_type}] parameters allow the
1327 driver type of the reset lines to be specified. Possible values are
1328 @option{trst_push_pull} (default) and @option{trst_open_drain} for the
1329 test reset signal, and @option{srst_open_drain} (default) and
1330 @option{srst_push_pull} for the system reset. These values only affect

1518
1519 The ``standard way'' to remove a tap would be to place the tap in
1520 bypass mode. But with the advent of modern chips, this is not always a
1521 good solution. Some taps operate slowly, others operate fast, and
1522 there are other JTAG clock syncronization problems one must face. To
1523 solve that problem, the JTAG Route controller was introduced. Rather
1524 then ``bypass'' the tap, the tap is completely removed from the
1525 circuit and skipped.
1526

1559 With a parameter, this pural @b{targets} command sets the current
1560 target to the given name. (ie: If there are multiple debug targets)
1561
1562 Example:
1563 @verbatim
1564 (gdb) mon targets
1565 CmdName Type Endian ChainPos State
1566 -- ---------- ---------- ---------- -------- ----------
1567 0: target0 arm7tdmi little 0 halted
1568 @end verbatim
1569
1570 @section target COMMANDS
1571 @b{Note:} This command name is SINGULAR - not plural. It is used to
1572 manipulate specific targets, to create targets and other things.
1573
1574 Once a target is created, a TARGETNAME (object) command is created;
1575 see below for details.
1576
1577 The TARGET command accepts these sub-commands:
1578 @itemize @bullet
1579 @item @b{create} .. parameters ..
1580 @* creates a new target, See below for details.
1581 @item @b{types}
1582 @* Lists all supported target types (perhaps some are not yet in this document).
1583 @item @b{names}
1584 @* Lists all current debug target names, for example: 'str912.cpu' or 'pxa27.cpu' example usage:
1585 @verbatim
1586 foreach t [target names] {
1587 puts [format "Target: %s\n" $t]
1588 }
1589 @end verbatim
1590 @item @b{current}
1591 @* Returns the current target. OpenOCD always has, or refers to the ``current target'' in some way.
1592 By default, commands like: ``mww'' (used to write memory) operate on the current target.
1593 @item @b{number} @b{NUMBER}
1594 @* Internally OpenOCD maintains a list of targets - in numerical index
1595 (0..N-1) this command returns the name of the target at index N.
1596 Example usage:
1597 @verbatim
1598 set thename [target number $x]
1599 puts [format "Target %d is: %s\n" $x $thename]
1600 @end verbatim
1601 @item @b{count}
1602 @* Returns the number of targets known to OpenOCD (see number above)
1603 Example:
1604 @verbatim
1605 set c [target count]
1606 for { set x 0 } { $x < $c } { incr x } {
1607 # Assuming you have created this function
1608 print_target_details $x
1609 }
1610 @end verbatim
1611
1612 @end itemize
1613
1614 @section TARGETNAME (object) commands
1615 @b{Use:} Once a target is created, an ``object name'' that represents the
1616 target is created. By convention, the target name is identical to the
1617 tap name. In a multiple target system, one can preceed many common
1618 commands with a specific target name and effect only that target.
1619 @example
1620 str912.cpu mww 0x1234 0x42
1621 omap3530.cpu mww 0x5555 123
1622 @end example
1623
1624 @b{Model:} The Tcl/Tk language has the concept of object commands. A
1625 good example is a on screen button, once a button is created a button
1626 has a name (a path in TK terms) and that name is useable as a 1st
1627 class command. For example in TK, one can create a button and later
1628 configure it like this:
1629
1630 @example
1631 # Create
1632 button .foobar -background red -command @{ foo @}
1633 # Modify
1634 .foobar configure -foreground blue
1635 # Query
1636 set x [.foobar cget -background]
1637 # Report
1638 puts [format "The button is %s" $x]
1639 @end example
1640
1641 In OpenOCDs terms, the ``target'' is an object just like a Tcl/Tk
1642 button. Commands avaialble as a ``target object'' are:
1643
1644 @comment START targetobj commands.
1645 @itemize @bullet
1646 @item @b{configure} - configure the target; see Target Config/Cget Options below
1647 @item @b{cget} - query the target configuration; see Target Config/Cget Options below
1648 @item @b{curstate} - current target state (running, halt, etc)
1649 @item @b{eventlist}
1650 @* Intended for a human to see/read the currently configure target events.

1685 @end itemize
1686
1687 @section Target Events
1688 At various times, certian things happen, or you want to happen.
1689
1690 Examples:
1691 @itemize @bullet
1692 @item What should happen when GDB connects? Should your target reset?
1693 @item When GDB tries to flash the target, do you need to enable the flash via a special command?
1694 @item During reset, do you need to write to certian memory locations to reconfigure the SDRAM?
1695 @end itemize
1696
1697 All of the above items are handled by target events.
1698
1699 To specify an event action, either during target creation, or later
1700 via ``$_TARGETNAME configure'' see this example.
1701
1702 Syntactially, the option is: ``-event NAME BODY'' where NAME is a
1703 target event name, and BODY is a tcl procedure or string of commands
1704 to execute.
1705
1706 The programers model is the: ``-command'' option used in Tcl/Tk
1707 buttons and events. Below are two identical examples, the first
1708 creates and invokes small procedure. The second inlines the procedure.
1709
1710 @example
1711 proc my_attach_proc @{ @} @{
1712 puts "RESET...."
1713 reset halt
1714 @}
1715 mychip.cpu configure -event gdb-attach my_attach_proc

1896 This command specifies a working area for the debugger to use. This
1897 may be used to speed-up downloads to target memory and flash
1898 operations, or to perform otherwise unavailable operations (some
1899 coprocessor operations on ARM7/9 systems, for example). The last
1900 parameter decides whether the memory should be preserved
1901 (<@var{backup}>) or can simply be overwritten (<@var{nobackup}>). If
1902 possible, use a working_area that doesn't need to be backed up, as
1903 performing a backup slows down operation.

2015 @subsection External Flash - cfi options
2016 @cindex cfi options
2017 CFI flash are external flash chips - often they are connected to a
2018 specific chip select on the micro. By default at hard reset most
2019 micros have the ablity to ``boot'' from some flash chip - typically
2020 attached to the chips CS0 pin.
2021
2022 For other chip selects: OpenOCD does not know how to configure, or
2023 access a specific chip select. Instead you the human might need to via
2024 other commands (like: mww) configure additional chip selects, or
2025 perhaps configure a GPIO pin that controls the ``write protect'' pin
2026 on the FLASH chip.

2030 @*CFI flashes require the number of the target they're connected to as an additional

2168 @end itemize
2169
2170 Note: Before using the str9xpec driver here is some background info to help
2171 you better understand how the drivers works. Openocd has two flash drivers for
2172 the str9.
2173 @enumerate
2174 @item
2175 Standard driver @option{str9x} programmed via the str9 core. Normally used for
2176 flash programming as it is faster than the @option{str9xpec} driver.
2177 @item
2178 Direct programming @option{str9xpec} using the flash controller, this is
2179 ISC compilant (IEEE 1532) tap connected in series with the str9 core. The str9
2180 core does not need to be running to program using this flash driver. Typical use
2181 for this driver is locking/unlocking the target and programming the option bytes.
2182 @end enumerate
2183
2184 Before we run any cmds using the @option{str9xpec} driver we must first disable
2185 the str9 core. This example assumes the @option{str9xpec} driver has been
2186 configured for flash bank 0.
2187 @example
2188 # assert srst, we do not want core running
2189 # while accessing str9xpec flash driver
2190 jtag_reset 0 1
2191 # turn off target polling
2192 poll off
2193 # disable str9 core
2194 str9xpec enable_turbo 0
2195 # read option bytes
2196 str9xpec options_read 0
2197 # re-enable str9 core
2198 str9xpec disable_turbo 0
2199 poll on
2200 reset halt
2201 @end example
2202 The above example will read the str9 option bytes.
2203 When performing a unlock remember that you will not be able to halt the str9 - it
2204 has been locked. Halting the core is not required for the @option{str9xpec} driver
2205 as mentioned above, just issue the cmds above manually or from a telnet prompt.

2285 @item @b{Source Of Commands}
2286 @* OpenOCD commands can occur in a configuration script (discussed
2287 elsewhere) or typed manually by a human or supplied programatically,
2288 or via one of several Tcp/Ip Ports.
2289
2290 @item @b{From the human}
2291 @* A human should interact with the Telnet interface (default port: 4444,
2292 or via GDB, default port 3333)
2293
2294 To issue commands from within a GDB session, use the @option{monitor}
2295 command, e.g. use @option{monitor poll} to issue the @option{poll}
2296 command. All output is relayed through the GDB session.
2297

2323 @cindex fast
2324 @*Default disabled. Set default behaviour of OpenOCD to be "fast and dangerous". For instance ARM7/9 DCC memory
2325 downloads and fast memory access will work if the JTAG interface isn't too fast and
2326 the core doesn't run at a too low frequency. Note that this option only changes the default
2327 and that the indvidual options, like DCC memory downloads, can be enabled and disabled
2328 individually.
2329
2330 The target specific "dangerous" optimisation tweaking options may come and go
2331 as more robust and user friendly ways are found to ensure maximum throughput
2332 and robustness with a minimum of configuration.
2333
2334 Typically the "fast enable" is specified first on the command line:

2746 @chapter TFTP
2747 @cindex TFTP
2748 If OpenOCD runs on an embedded host(as ZY1000 does), then tftp can
2749 be used to access files on PCs(either developer PC or some other PC).
2750
2751 The way this works on the ZY1000 is to prefix a filename by
2752 "/tftp/ip/" and append the tftp path on the tftp
2753 server(tftpd). E.g. "load_image /tftp/10.0.0.96/c:\temp\abc.elf" will
2754 load c:\temp\abc.elf from the developer pc (10.0.0.96) into memory as
2755 if the file was hosted on the embedded host.
2756
2757 In order to achieve decent performance, you must choose a tftp server
2758 that supports a packet size bigger than the default packet size(512 bytes). There
2759 are numerous tftp servers out there(free and commercial) and you will have to do
2760 a bit of googling to find something that fits your requirements.

2788 @node GDB and OpenOCD
2789 @chapter GDB and OpenOCD
2790 @cindex GDB and OpenOCD
2791 OpenOCD complies with the remote gdbserver protocol, and as such can be used
2792 to debug remote targets.
2793
2794 @section Connecting to gdb
2795 @cindex Connecting to gdb
2796 Use GDB 6.7 or newer with OpenOCD if you run into trouble. For
2797 instance 6.3 has a known bug where it produces bogus memory access
2798 errors, which has since been fixed: look up 1836 in
2799 @url{http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?database=gdb}
2800
2801
2802 A connection is typically started as follows:
2803 @example
2804 target remote localhost:3333
2805 @end example
2806 This would cause gdb to connect to the gdbserver on the local pc using port 3333.
2807
2808 To see a list of available OpenOCD commands type @option{monitor help} on the
2809 gdb commandline.
2810
2811 OpenOCD supports the gdb @option{qSupported} packet, this enables information
2812 to be sent by the gdb server (openocd) to gdb. Typical information includes
2813 packet size and device memory map.
2814
2815 Previous versions of OpenOCD required the following gdb options to increase
2816 the packet size and speed up gdb communication.
2817 @example
2818 set remote memory-write-packet-size 1024
2819 set remote memory-write-packet-size fixed
2820 set remote memory-read-packet-size 1024
2821 set remote memory-read-packet-size fixed
2822 @end example
2823 This is now handled in the @option{qSupported} PacketSize.
2824
2825 @section Programming using gdb
2826 @cindex Programming using gdb
2827
2828 By default the target memory map is sent to gdb, this can be disabled by
2829 the following OpenOCD config option:
2830 @example
2831 gdb_memory_map disable
2832 @end example
2833 For this to function correctly a valid flash config must also be configured
2834 in OpenOCD. For faster performance you should also configure a valid
2835 working area.
2836
2837 Informing gdb of the memory map of the target will enable gdb to protect any
2838 flash area of the target and use hardware breakpoints by default. This means
2839 that the OpenOCD option @option{gdb_breakpoint_override} is not required when
2840 using a memory map. @xref{gdb_breakpoint_override}.
2841
2842 To view the configured memory map in gdb, use the gdb command @option{info mem}
2843 All other unasigned addresses within gdb are treated as RAM.
2844
2845 GDB 6.8 and higher set any memory area not in the memory map as inaccessible,
2846 this can be changed to the old behaviour by using the following gdb command.
2847 @example
2848 set mem inaccessible-by-default off
2849 @end example
2850
2851 If @option{gdb_flash_program enable} is also used, gdb will be able to
2852 program any flash memory using the vFlash interface.
2853
2854 gdb will look at the target memory map when a load command is given, if any
2855 areas to be programmed lie within the target flash area the vFlash packets
2856 will be used.
2857
2858 If the target needs configuring before gdb programming, an event
2859 script can be executed.
2860 @example
2861 $_TARGETNAME configure -event EVENTNAME BODY
2862 @end example
2863
2864 To verify any flash programming the gdb command @option{compare-sections}
2865 can be used.

2867 @node TCL scripting API
2868 @chapter TCL scripting API
2869 @cindex TCL scripting API
2870 API rules
2871
2872 The commands are stateless. E.g. the telnet command line has a concept
2873 of currently active target, the Tcl API proc's take this sort of state
2874 information as an argument to each proc.
2875
2876 There are three main types of return values: single value, name value
2877 pair list and lists.
2878
2879 Name value pair. The proc 'foo' below returns a name/value pair
2880 list.
2881
2882 @verbatim
2883
2884 > set foo(me) Duane
2885 > set foo(you) Oyvind
2886 > set foo(mouse) Micky
2887 > set foo(duck) Donald
2888
2889 If one does this:
2890
2891 > set foo
2892
2893 The result is:
2894
2895 me Duane you Oyvind mouse Micky duck Donald
2896
2897 Thus, to get the names of the associative array is easy:
2898
2899 foreach { name value } [set foo] {
2900 puts "Name: $name, Value: $value"
2901 }
2902 @end verbatim
2903
2904 Lists returned must be relatively small. Otherwise a range
2905 should be passed in to the proc in question.
2906
2907 Low level commands are prefixed with "openocd_", e.g. openocd_flash_banks
2908 is the low level API upon which "flash banks" is implemented.

2991 @item @b{RTCK, also known as: Adaptive Clocking - What is it?}
2992 @cindex RTCK
2993 @cindex adaptive clocking
2994 @*
2995
2996 In digital circuit design it is often refered to as ``clock
2997 syncronization'' the JTAG interface uses one clock (TCK or TCLK)
2998 operating at some speed, your target is operating at another. The two
2999 clocks are not syncronized, they are ``asynchronous''
3000
3001 In order for the two to work together they must syncronize. Otherwise
3002 the two systems will get out of sync with each other and nothing will
3003 work. There are 2 basic options. @b{1.} use a special circuit or
3004 @b{2.} one clock must be some multile slower the the other.
3005
3006 @b{Does this really matter?} For some chips and some situations, this
3007 is a non-issue (ie: A 500mhz ARM926) but for others - for example some
3008 ATMEL SAM7 and SAM9 chips start operation from reset at 32khz -
3009 program/enable the oscillators and eventually the main clock. It is in
3010 those critical times you must slow the jtag clock to sometimes 1 to
3011 4khz.
3012
3013 Imagine debugging that 500mhz arm926 hand held battery powered device
3014 that ``deep sleeps'' at 32khz between every keystroke. It can be
3015 painful.
3016
3017 @b{Solution #1 - A special circuit}
3018
3019 In order to make use of this your jtag dongle must support the RTCK
3020 feature. Not all dongles support this - keep reading!
3021
3022 The RTCK signal often found in some ARM chips is used to help with
3023 this problem. ARM has a good description of the problem described at
3024 this link: @url{http://www.arm.com/support/faqdev/4170.html} [checked
3025 28/nov/2008]. Link title: ``How does the jtag synchronisation logic
3026 work? / how does adaptive clocking working?''.
3027
3028 The nice thing about adaptive clocking is that ``battery powered hand
3029 held device example'' - the adaptiveness works perfectly all the
3030 time. One can set a break point or halt the system in the deep power
3031 down code, slow step out until the system speeds up.
3032
3033 @b{Solution #2 - Always works - but is slower}
3034
3035 Often this is a perfectly acceptable solution.
3036
3037 In the most simple terms: Often the JTAG clock must be 1/10 to 1/12 of
3038 the target clock speed. But what is that ``magic division'' it varies
3039 depending upon the chips on your board. @b{ARM Rule of thumb} Most ARM
3040 based systems require an 8:1 division. @b{Xilinx Rule of thumb} is
3041 1/12 the clock speed.
3042
3043 Note: Many FTDI2232C based JTAG dongles are limited to 6mhz.
3044
3045 You can still debug the 'lower power' situations - you just need to
3046 manually adjust the clock speed at every step. While painful and
3047 teadious, it is not always practical.
3048
3049 It is however easy to ``code your way around it'' - ie: Cheat a little
3050 have a special debug mode in your application that does a ``high power
3051 sleep''. If you are careful - 98% of your problems can be debugged
3052 this way.
3053
3054 To set the JTAG frequency use the command:
3055
3056 @example
3057 # Example: 1.234mhz
3058 jtag_khz 1234
3059 @end example
3060
3061
3062 @item @b{Win32 Pathnames} Why does not backslashes in paths under Windows doesn't work?
3063
3064 OpenOCD uses Tcl and a backslash is an escape char. Use @{ and @}
3065 around Windows filenames.
3066
3067 @example
3068 > echo \a
3069
3070 > echo @{\a@}
3071 \a
3072 > echo "\a"
3073
3074 >
3075 @end example
3076
3077
3078 @item @b{Missing: cygwin1.dll} OpenOCD complains about a missing cygwin1.dll.
3079
3080 Make sure you have Cygwin installed, or at least a version of OpenOCD that
3081 claims to come with all the necessary dlls. When using Cygwin, try launching
3082 OpenOCD from the Cygwin shell.
3083
3084 @item @b{Breakpoint Issue} I'm trying to set a breakpoint using GDB (or a frontend like Insight or
3085 Eclipse), but OpenOCD complains that "Info: arm7_9_common.c:213
3086 arm7_9_add_breakpoint(): sw breakpoint requested, but software breakpoints not enabled".
3087
3088 GDB issues software breakpoints when a normal breakpoint is requested, or to implement
3089 source-line single-stepping. On ARMv4T systems, like ARM7TDMI, ARM720t or ARM920t,
3090 software breakpoints consume one of the two available hardware breakpoints.
3091
3092 @item @b{LPC2000 Flash} When erasing or writing LPC2000 on-chip flash, the operation fails sometimes
3093 and works sometimes fine.
3094
3095 Make sure the core frequency specified in the @option{flash lpc2000} line matches the
3096 clock at the time you're programming the flash. If you've specified the crystal's
3097 frequency, make sure the PLL is disabled, if you've specified the full core speed
3098 (e.g. 60MHz), make sure the PLL is enabled.
3099
3100 @item @b{Amontec Chameleon} When debugging using an Amontec Chameleon in its JTAG Accelerator configuration,
3101 I keep getting "Error: amt_jtagaccel.c:184 amt_wait_scan_busy(): amt_jtagaccel timed
3102 out while waiting for end of scan, rtck was disabled".
3103
3104 Make sure your PC's parallel port operates in EPP mode. You might have to try several
3105 settings in your PC BIOS (ECP, EPP, and different versions of those).
3106
3107 @item @b{Data Aborts} When debugging with OpenOCD and GDB (plain GDB, Insight, or Eclipse),
3108 I get lots of "Error: arm7_9_common.c:1771 arm7_9_read_memory():
3109 memory read caused data abort".
3110
3111 The errors are non-fatal, and are the result of GDB trying to trace stack frames
3112 beyond the last valid frame. It might be possible to prevent this by setting up
3113 a proper "initial" stack frame, if you happen to know what exactly has to
3114 be done, feel free to add this here.
3115
3116 @b{Simple:} In your startup code - push 8 registers of ZEROs onto the
3117 stack before calling main(). What GDB is doing is ``climbing'' the run
3118 time stack by reading various values on the stack using the standard
3119 call frame for the target. GDB keeps going - until one of 2 things
3120 happen @b{#1} an invalid frame is found, or @b{#2} some huge number of
3121 stackframes have been processed. By pushing ZEROs on the stack, GDB
3122 gracefully stops.
3123
3124 @b{Debugging Interrupt Service Routines} - In your ISR before you call
3125 your C code, do the same, artifically push some zeros on to the stack,
3126 remember to pop them off when the ISR is done.
3127
3128 @b{Also note:} If you have a multi-threaded operating system, they
3129 often do not @b{in the intrest of saving memory} waste these few
3130 bytes. Painful...
3131
3132
3133 @item @b{JTAG Reset Config} I get the following message in the OpenOCD console (or log file):
3134 "Warning: arm7_9_common.c:679 arm7_9_assert_reset(): srst resets test logic, too".
3135
3136 This warning doesn't indicate any serious problem, as long as you don't want to
3137 debug your core right out of reset. Your .cfg file specified @option{jtag_reset
3138 trst_and_srst srst_pulls_trst} to tell OpenOCD that either your board,
3139 your debugger or your target uC (e.g. LPC2000) can't assert the two reset signals
3140 independently. With this setup, it's not possible to halt the core right out of
3141 reset, everything else should work fine.
3142
3143 @item @b{USB Power} When using OpenOCD in conjunction with Amontec JTAGkey and the Yagarto
3144 Toolchain (Eclipse, arm-elf-gcc, arm-elf-gdb), the debugging seems to be
3145 unstable. When single-stepping over large blocks of code, GDB and OpenOCD
3146 quit with an error message. Is there a stability issue with OpenOCD?
3147
3148 No, this is not a stability issue concerning OpenOCD. Most users have solved
3149 this issue by simply using a self-powered USB hub, which they connect their
3150 Amontec JTAGkey to. Apparently, some computers do not provide a USB power
3151 supply stable enough for the Amontec JTAGkey to be operated.
3152
3153 @b{Laptops running on battery have this problem too...}
3154
3155 @item @b{USB Power} When using the Amontec JTAGkey, sometimes OpenOCD crashes with the
3156 following error messages: "Error: ft2232.c:201 ft2232_read(): FT_Read returned:
3157 4" and "Error: ft2232.c:365 ft2232_send_and_recv(): couldn't read from FT2232".
3158 What does that mean and what might be the reason for this?
3159
3160 First of all, the reason might be the USB power supply. Try using a self-powered
3161 hub instead of a direct connection to your computer. Secondly, the error code 4
3162 corresponds to an FT_IO_ERROR, which means that the driver for the FTDI USB
3163 chip ran into some sort of error - this points us to a USB problem.
3164
3165 @item @b{GDB Disconnects} When using the Amontec JTAGkey, sometimes OpenOCD crashes with the following
3166 error message: "Error: gdb_server.c:101 gdb_get_char(): read: 10054".
3167 What does that mean and what might be the reason for this?
3168
3169 Error code 10054 corresponds to WSAECONNRESET, which means that the debugger (GDB)
3170 has closed the connection to OpenOCD. This might be a GDB issue.
3171
3172 @item @b{LPC2000 Flash} In the configuration file in the section where flash device configurations
3173 are described, there is a parameter for specifying the clock frequency
3174 for LPC2000 internal flash devices (e.g. @option{flash bank lpc2000
3175 0x0 0x40000 0 0 0 lpc2000_v1 14746 calc_checksum}), which must be
3176 specified in kilohertz. However, I do have a quartz crystal of a
3177 frequency that contains fractions of kilohertz (e.g. 14,745,600 Hz,
3178 i.e. 14,745.600 kHz). Is it possible to specify real numbers for the
3179 clock frequency?
3180
3181 No. The clock frequency specified here must be given as an integral number.
3182 However, this clock frequency is used by the In-Application-Programming (IAP)
3183 routines of the LPC2000 family only, which seems to be very tolerant concerning
3184 the given clock frequency, so a slight difference between the specified clock
3185 frequency and the actual clock frequency will not cause any trouble.
3186
3187 @item @b{Command Order} Do I have to keep a specific order for the commands in the configuration file?
3188
3189 Well, yes and no. Commands can be given in arbitrary order, yet the
3190 devices listed for the JTAG scan chain must be given in the right
3191 order (jtag newdevice), with the device closest to the TDO-Pin being
3192 listed first. In general, whenever objects of the same type exist
3193 which require an index number, then these objects must be given in the
3194 right order (jtag newtap, targets and flash banks - a target
3195 references a jtag newtap and a flash bank references a target).
3196
3197 You can use the ``scan_chain'' command to verify and display the tap order.
3198
3199 @item @b{JTAG Tap Order} JTAG Tap Order - Command Order
3200
3201 Many newer devices have multiple JTAG taps. For example: ST
3202 Microsystems STM32 chips have two taps, a ``boundary scan tap'' and
3203 ``cortexM3'' tap. Example: The STM32 reference manual, Document ID:
3204 RM0008, Section 26.5, Figure 259, page 651/681, the ``TDI'' pin is
3205 connected to the Boundary Scan Tap, which then connects to the
3206 CortexM3 Tap, which then connects to the TDO pin.
3207
3208 Thus, the proper order for the STM32 chip is: (1) The CortexM3, then
3209 (2) The Boundary Scan Tap. If your board includes an additional JTAG
3210 chip in the scan chain (for example a Xilinx CPLD or FPGA) you could
3211 place it before or after the stm32 chip in the chain. For example:
3212
3213 @itemize @bullet
3214 @item OpenOCD_TDI(output) -> STM32 TDI Pin (BS Input)
3215 @item STM32 BS TDO (output) -> STM32 CortexM3 TDI (input)
3216 @item STM32 CortexM3 TDO (output) -> SM32 TDO Pin
3217 @item STM32 TDO Pin (output) -> Xilinx TDI Pin (input)
3218 @item Xilinx TDO Pin -> OpenOCD TDO (input)
3219 @end itemize
3220
3221 The ``jtag device'' commands would thus be in the order shown below. Note
3222
3223 @itemize @bullet
3224 @item jtag newtap Xilinx tap -irlen ...
3225 @item jtag newtap stm32 cpu -irlen ...
3226 @item jtag newtap stm32 bs -irlen ...
3227 @item # Create the debug target and say where it is
3228 @item target create stm32.cpu -chain-position stm32.cpu ...
3229 @end itemize
3230
3231
3232 @item @b{SYSCOMP} Sometimes my debugging session terminates with an error. When I look into the
3233 log file, I can see these error messages: Error: arm7_9_common.c:561

3243
3244 Not everyone knows TCL - this is not intended to be a replacement for
3245 learning TCL, the intent of this chapter is to give you some idea of
3246 how the TCL Scripts work.
3247
3248 This chapter is written with two audiences in mind. (1) OpenOCD users
3249 who need to understand a bit more of how JIM-Tcl works so they can do
3250 something useful, and (2) those that want to add a new command to
3251 OpenOCD.
3252
3253 @section TCL Rule #1
3254 There is a famous joke, it goes like this:
3255 @enumerate
3256 @item Rule #1: The wife is aways correct
3257 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
3258 @end enumerate
3259
3260 The TCL equal is this:
3261
3262 @enumerate
3263 @item Rule #1: Everything is a string
3264 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
3265 @end enumerate
3266
3267 As in the famous joke, the consiquences of Rule #1 are profound. Once
3268 you understand Rule #1, you will understand TCL.
3269
3270 @section TCL Rule #1b
3271 There is a second pair of rules.
3272 @enumerate
3273 @item Rule #1: Control flow does not exist. Only commands
3274 @* For example: the classic FOR loop or IF statement is not a control
3275 flow item, they are commands, there is no such thing as control flow
3276 in TCL.
3277 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
3278 @* Actually what happens is this: There are commands that by
3279 convention, act like control flow key words in other languages. One of
3280 those commands is the word ``for'', another command is ``if''.
3281 @end enumerate
3282
3283 @section Per Rule #1 - All Results are strings
3284 Every TCL command results in a string. The word ``result'' is used
3285 deliberatly. No result is just an empty string. Remember: @i{Rule #1 -
3286 Everything is a string}
3287
3288 @section TCL Quoting Operators
3289 In life of a TCL script, there are two important periods of time, the
3290 difference is subtle.
3291 @enumerate
3292 @item Parse Time
3293 @item Evaluation Time
3294 @end enumerate
3295
3296 The two key items here are how ``quoted things'' work in TCL. TCL has
3297 three primary quoting constructs, the [square-brackets] the
3298 @{curly-braces@} and ``double-quotes''
3299
3300 By now you should know $VARIABLES always start with a $DOLLAR
3301 sign. BTW, to set a variable, you actually use the command ``set'', as
3302 in ``set VARNAME VALUE'' much like the ancient BASIC langauge ``let x
3303 = 1'' statement, but without the equal sign.
3304
3305 @itemize @bullet
3306 @item @b{[square-brackets]}
3307 @* @b{[square-brackets]} are command subsitution. It operates much
3308 like Unix Shell `back-ticks`. The result of a [square-bracket]
3309 operation is exactly 1 string. @i{Remember Rule #1 - Everything is a
3310 string}. These two statments are roughly identical.
3311 @example
3312 # bash example
3313 X=`date`
3314 echo "The Date is: $X"
3315 # TCL example
3316 set X [date]
3317 puts "The Date is: $X"
3318 @end example
3319 @item @b{``double-quoted-things''}
3320 @* @b{``double-quoted-things''} are just simply quoted
3321 text. $VARIABLES and [square-brackets] are expanded in place - the
3322 result however is exactly 1 string. @i{Remember Rule #1 - Everything
3323 is a string}
3324 @example
3325 set x "Dinner"
3326 puts "It is now \"[date]\", $x is in 1 hour"
3327 @end example
3328 @item @b{@{Curly-Braces@}}
3329 @*@b{@{Curly-Braces@}} are magic: $VARIABLES and [square-brackets] are
3330 parsed, but are NOT expanded or executed. @{Curly-Braces@} are like
3331 'single-quote' operators in BASH shell scripts, with the added
3332 feature: @{curly-braces@} nest, single quotes can not. @{@{@{this is
3333 nested 3 times@}@}@} NOTE: [date] is perhaps a bad example, as of
3334 28/nov/2008, Jim/OpenOCD does not have a date command.
3335 @end itemize
3336
3337 @section Consiquences of Rule 1/2/3/4
3338
3339 The consiquences of Rule 1 is profound.
3340
3341 @subsection Tokenizing & Execution.
3342
3343 Of course, whitespace, blank lines and #comment lines are handled in
3344 the normal way.
3345
3346 As a script is parsed, each (multi) line in the script file is
3347 tokenized and according to the quoting rules. After tokenizing, that
3348 line is immedatly executed.
3349
3350 Multi line statements end with one or more ``still-open''
3351 @{curly-braces@} which - eventually - a few lines later closes.
3352
3353 @subsection Command Execution
3354
3355 Remember earlier: There is no such thing as ``control flow''
3356 statements in TCL. Instead there are COMMANDS that simpily act like
3357 control flow operators.
3358
3359 Commands are executed like this:
3360
3361 @enumerate
3362 @item Parse the next line into (argc) and (argv[]).
3363 @item Look up (argv[0]) in a table and call its function.
3364 @item Repeat until End Of File.
3365 @end enumerate
3366
3367 It sort of works like this:
3368 @example
3369 for(;;)@{
3370 ReadAndParse( &argc, &argv );
3371
3372 cmdPtr = LookupCommand( argv[0] );
3373
3374 (*cmdPtr->Execute)( argc, argv );
3375 @}
3376 @end example
3377
3378 When the command ``proc'' is parsed (which creates a procedure
3379 function) it gets 3 parameters on the command line. @b{1} the name of
3380 the proc (function), @b{2} the list of parameters, and @b{3} the body
3381 of the function. Not the choice of words: LIST and BODY. The PROC
3382 command stores these items in a table somewhere so it can be found by
3383 ``LookupCommand()''
3384
3385 @subsection The FOR Command
3386
3387 The most interesting command to look at is the FOR command. In TCL,
3388 the FOR command is normally implimented in C. Remember, FOR is a
3389 command just like any other command.
3390
3391 When the ascii text containing the FOR command is parsed, the parser
3392 produces 5 parameter strings, @i{(If in doubt: Refer to Rule #1)} they
3393 are:
3394
3395 @enumerate 0
3396 @item The ascii text 'for'
3397 @item The start text
3398 @item The test expression
3399 @item The next text
3400 @item The body text
3401 @end enumerate
3402
3403 Sort of reminds you of ``main( int argc, char **argv )'' does it not?
3404 Remember @i{Rule #1 - Everything is a string.} The key point is this:
3405 Often many of those parameters are in @{curly-braces@} - thus the
3406 variables inside are not expanded or replaced until later.
3407
3408 Remember that every TCL command looks like the classic ``main( argc,
3409 argv )'' function in C. In JimTCL - they actually look like this:
3410
3411 @example
3412 int
3413 MyCommand( Jim_Interp *interp,
3414 int *argc,
3415 Jim_Obj * const *argvs );

3418 Real TCL is nearly identical. Although the newer versions have
3419 introduced a byte-code parser and intepreter, but at the core, it
3420 still operates in the same basic way.
3421
3422 @subsection FOR Command Implimentation
3423
3424 To understand TCL it is perhaps most helpful to see the FOR
3425 command. Remember, it is a COMMAND not a control flow structure.
3426
3427 In TCL there are two underying C helper functions.
3428
3429 Remember Rule #1 - You are a string.
3430
3431 The @b{first} helper parses and executes commands found in an ascii
3432 string. Commands can be seperated by semi-colons, or newlines. While
3433 parsing, variables are expanded per the quoting rules
3434
3435 The @b{second} helper evaluates an ascii string as a numerical
3436 expression and returns a value.
3437
3438 Here is an example of how the @b{FOR} command could be
3439 implimented. The pseudo code below does not show error handling.
3440 @example
3441 void Execute_AsciiString( void *interp, const char *string );
3442
3443 int Evaluate_AsciiExpression( void *interp, const char *string );
3444
3445 int
3446 MyForCommand( void *interp,
3447 int argc,
3448 char **argv )
3449 @{
3450 if( argc != 5 )@{
3451 SetResult( interp, "WRONG number of parameters");
3452 return ERROR;
3453 @}
3454
3455 // argv[0] = the ascii string just like C
3456
3457 // Execute the start statement.
3458 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[1] );
3459
3460 // Top of loop test
3461 for(;;)@{
3462 i = Evaluate_AsciiExpression(interp, argv[2]);
3463 if( i == 0 )
3464 break;
3465
3466 // Execute the body
3467 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[3] );
3468
3469 // Execute the LOOP part
3470 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[4] );
3471 @}
3472
3473 // Return no error
3474 SetResult( interp, "" );
3475 return SUCCESS;
3476 @}
3477 @end example
3478
3479 Every other command IF, WHILE, FORMAT, PUTS, EXPR, everything works
3480 in the same basic way.
3481
3482 @section OpenOCD TCL Usage
3483
3484 @subsection source and find commands
3485 @b{Where:} In many configuration files
3486 @* Example: @b{ source [find FILENAME] }
3487 @*Remember the parsing rules
3488 @enumerate
3489 @item The FIND command is in square brackets.
3490 @* The FIND command is executed with the parameter FILENAME. It should
3491 find the full path to the named file. The RESULT is a string, which is
3492 subsituted on the orginal command line.
3493 @item The command source is executed with the resulting filename.
3494 @* SOURCE reads a file and executes as a script.
3495 @end enumerate
3496 @subsection format command
3497 @b{Where:} Generally occurs in numerous places.
3498 @* TCL no command like @b{printf()}, intead it has @b{format}, which is really more like
3499 @b{sprintf()}.
3500 @b{Example}
3501 @example
3502 set x 6
3503 set y 7
3504 puts [format "The answer: %d" [expr $x * $y]]
3505 @end example
3506 @enumerate
3507 @item The SET command creates 2 variables, X and Y.
3508 @item The double [nested] EXPR command performs math
3509 @* The EXPR command produces numerical result as a string.
3510 @* Refer to Rule #1
3511 @item The format command is executed, producing a single string
3512 @* Refer to Rule #1.
3513 @item The PUTS command outputs the text.
3514 @end enumerate
3515 @subsection Body Or Inlined Text
3516 @b{Where:} Various TARGET scripts.
3517 @example
3518 #1 Good
3519 proc someproc @{@} @{
3520 ... multiple lines of stuff ...
3521 @}
3522 $_TARGETNAME configure -event FOO someproc
3523 #2 Good - no variables
3524 $_TARGETNAME confgure -event foo "this ; that;"
3525 #3 Good Curly Braces
3526 $_TARGETNAME configure -event FOO @{
3527 puts "Time: [date]"
3528 @}
3529 #4 DANGER DANGER DANGER
3530 $_TARGETNAME configure -event foo "puts \"Time: [date]\""
3531 @end example
3532 @enumerate
3533 @item The $_TARGETNAME is an OpenOCD variable convention.
3534 @*@b{$_TARGETNAME} represents the last target created, the value changes
3535 each time a new target is created. Remember the parsing rules. When
3536 the ascii text is parsed, the @b{$_TARGETNAME} becomes a simple string,
3537 the name of the target which happens to be a TARGET (object)
3538 command.
3539 @item The 2nd parameter to the @option{-event} parameter is a TCBODY
3540 @*There are 4 examples:
3541 @enumerate
3542 @item The TCLBODY is a simple string that happens to be a proc name
3543 @item The TCLBODY is several simple commands semi-colon seperated
3544 @item The TCLBODY is a multi-line @{curly-brace@} quoted string
3545 @item The TCLBODY is a string with variables that get expanded.
3546 @end enumerate
3547
3548 In the end, when the target event FOO occurs the TCLBODY is
3549 evaluated. Method @b{#1} and @b{#2} are functionally identical. For
3550 Method @b{#3} and @b{#4} it is more interesting. What is the TCLBODY?
3551
3552 Remember the parsing rules. In case #3, @{curly-braces@} mean the
3553 $VARS and [square-brackets] are expanded later, when the EVENT occurs,
3554 and the text is evaluated. In case #4, they are replaced before the
3555 ``Target Object Command'' is executed. This occurs at the same time
3556 $_TARGETNAME is replaced. In case #4 the date will never
3557 change. @{BTW: [date] is perhaps a bad example, as of 28/nov/2008,
3558 Jim/OpenOCD does not have a date command@}
3559 @end enumerate
3560 @subsection Global Variables
3561 @b{Where:} You might discover this when writing your own procs @* In
3562 simple terms: Inside a PROC, if you need to access a global variable
3563 you must say so. Also see ``upvar''. Example:
3564 @example
3565 proc myproc @{ @} @{
3566 set y 0 #Local variable Y
3567 global x #Global variable X
3568 puts [format "X=%d, Y=%d" $x $y]
3569 @}
3570 @end example
3571 @section Other Tcl Hacks
3572 @b{Dynamic Variable Creation}
3573 @example
3574 # Dynamically create a bunch of variables.
3575 for @{ set x 0 @} @{ $x < 32 @} @{ set x [expr $x + 1]@} @{
3576 # Create var name
3577 set vn [format "BIT%d" $x]
3578 # Make it a global
3579 global $vn
3580 # Set it.
3581 set $vn [expr (1 << $x)]
3582 @}
3583 @end example
3584 @b{Dynamic Proc/Command Creation}
3585 @example
3586 # One "X" function - 5 uart functions.
3587 foreach who @{A B C D E@}
3588 proc [format "show_uart%c" $who] @{ @} "show_UARTx $who"

3592 @node Target library
3593 @chapter Target library
3594 @cindex Target library
3595
3596 OpenOCD comes with a target configuration script library. These scripts can be
3597 used as-is or serve as a starting point.
3598
3599 The target library is published together with the openocd executable and
3600 the path to the target library is in the OpenOCD script search path.
3601 Similarly there are example scripts for configuring the JTAG interface.
3602
3603 The command line below uses the example parport configuration scripts
3604 that ship with OpenOCD, then configures the str710.cfg target and
3605 finally issues the init and reset command. The communication speed
3606 is set to 10kHz for reset and 8MHz for post reset.
3607
3608
3609 @example
3610 openocd -f interface/parport.cfg -f target/str710.cfg -c "init" -c "reset"
3611 @end example
3612
3613
3614 To list the target scripts available:
