   4 and other issues not mentioned here.
   5
   6 JTAG Layer:
   7         New driver for "Bus Pirate"
   8         Rename various commands so they're not JTAG-specific
   9            There are migration procedures for most of these, but you should
  10            convert your scripts to the new names, since those procedures
  11            will not be around forever.
  12                 jtag jinterface ... is now adapter_name
  13                 jtag_khz        ... is now adapter_khz
  14                 jtag_nsrst_delay ... is now adapter_nsrst_delay
  15                 jtag_nsrst_assert_width ... is now adapter_nsrst_assert_width
  16         Support Voipac VPACLink JTAG Adapter.

  18 Boundary Scan:

  20 Target Layer:
  21         ARM:
  22                 - basic semihosting support (ARMv7M).
  23                 - renamed "armv7m" command prefix as "arm"
  24         MIPS:
  25                 - "ejtag_srst" variant removed. The same functionality is
  26                   obtained by using "reset_config none".
  27                 - added PIC32MX software reset support, this means srst is not
  28                   required to be connected anymore.
  29
  30 Flash Layer:
  31         New "stellaris recover" command, implements the procedure
  32                 to recover locked devices (restoring non-volatile
  33                 state to the factory defaults, including erasing
  34                 the flash and its protection bits, and possibly
  35                 re-enabling hardware debugging).
  36         PIC32MX now uses algorithm for flash programming, this
  37                 has increased the performance by approx 96%.
  38         New 'pic32mx unlock' cmd to remove readout protection.
  39         New STM32 Value Line Support.
  40         New 'virtual' flash driver, used to associate other addresses
  41                 with a flash bank. See pic32mx.cfg for usage.
  42         New iMX27 NAND flash controller driver.
  43
  44 Board, Target, and Interface Configuration Scripts:
  45         Support IAR LPC1768 kickstart board (by Olimex)
  46         Support Voipac PXA270/PXA270M module.
  47         New $PARPORTADDR tcl variable used to change default
  48                 parallel port address used.
  49
  50 Core Jim/TCL Scripting:
  51         New "add_script_search_dir" command, behaviour is the same
  52                 as the "-s" cmd line option.
