@cindex about

The Open On-Chip Debugger (openocd) aims to provide debugging, in-system programming
and boundary-scan testing for embedded target devices. The targets are interfaced
using JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) compliant hardware, but this may be extended to other
connection types in the future.

Openocd currently supports Wiggler (clones), FTDI FT2232 based JTAG interfaces, the
Amontec JTAG Accelerator, and the Gateworks GW1602. It allows ARM7 (ARM7TDMI and ARM720t),
ARM9 (ARM920t, ARM922t, ARM926ej--s, ARM966e--s), XScale (PXA25x, IXP42x) and
Cortex-M3 (Luminary Stellaris LM3 and ST STM32) based cores to be debugged.

Flash writing is supported for external CFI compatible flashes (Intel and AMD/Spansion
command set) and several internal flashes (LPC2000, AT91SAM7, STR7x, STR9x, LM3
and STM32x). Preliminary support for using the LPC3180's NAND flash controller is included.

Openocd has been created by Dominic Rath as part of a diploma thesis written at the
University of Applied Sciences Augsburg (@uref{http://www.fh-augsburg.de}).
Others interested in improving the state of free and open debug and testing technology
are welcome to participate.

Other developers have contributed support for additional targets and flashes as well
as numerous bugfixes and enhancements. See the AUTHORS file for regular contributors. 

@node Building
@chapter Building
@cindex building openocd

You can download the current SVN version with SVN client of your choice from the
following repositories:

 (@uref{svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk})

or

 (@uref{http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/openocd/trunk})

Using the SVN command line client, you could use the following command to fetch the
latest version (make sure there is no (non-svn) directory called "openocd" in the
current directory):

@smallexample
 svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk openocd
@end smallexample

Building the OpenOCD requires a recent version of the GNU autotools.
On my build system, I'm using autoconf 2.13 and automake 1.9. For building on Windows,
you have to use Cygwin. Make sure that your @env{PATH} environment variable contains no
other locations with Unix utils (like UnxUtils) - these can't handle the Cygwin
paths, resulting in obscure dependency errors (This is an observation I've gathered
from the logs of one user - correct me if I'm wrong).

You further need the appropriate driver files, if you want to build support for
a FTDI FT2232 based interface:
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{ftdi2232} libftdi (@uref{http://www.intra2net.com/opensource/ftdi/})
@item @b{ftd2xx} libftd2xx (@uref{http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm})
@item When using the Amontec JTAGkey, you have to get the drivers from the Amontec
homepage (@uref{www.amontec.com}), as the JTAGkey uses a non-standard VID/PID. 
@end itemize

Please note that the ftdi2232 variant (using libftdi) isn't supported under Cygwin.
You have to use the ftd2xx variant (using FTDI's D2XX) on Cygwin.

In general, the D2XX driver provides superior performance (several times as fast),
but has the draw-back of being binary-only - though that isn't as worse, as it isn't
a kernel module, only a user space library.

To build OpenOCD (on both Linux and Cygwin), use the following commands:
@smallexample
 ./bootstrap 
@end smallexample
Bootstrap generates the configure script, and prepares building on your system.
@smallexample
 ./configure 
@end smallexample
Configure generates the Makefiles used to build OpenOCD.
@smallexample
 make 
@end smallexample
Make builds the OpenOCD, and places the final executable in ./src/.

The configure script takes several options, specifying which JTAG interfaces
should be included:

@itemize @bullet
@item
@option{--enable-parport}
@item
@option{--enable-parport_ppdev}
@item
@option{--enable-amtjtagaccel}
@item
@option{--enable-ft2232_ftd2xx}
@footnote{Using the latest D2XX drivers from FTDI and following their installation
instructions, I had to use @option{--enable-ft2232_libftd2xx} for the OpenOCD to
build properly.}
@item
@option{--enable-ft2232_libftdi}
@item
@option{--with-ftd2xx=/path/to/d2xx/}
@end itemize

If you want to access the parallel port using the PPDEV interface you have to specify
both the @option{--enable-parport} AND the @option{--enable-parport_ppdev} option since
the @option{--enable-parport_ppdev} option actually is an option to the parport driver
(see @uref{http://forum.sparkfun.com/viewtopic.php?t=3795} for more info).

Cygwin users have to specify the location of the FTDI D2XX package. This should be an
absolute path containing no spaces.

Linux users should copy the various parts of the D2XX package to the appropriate
locations, i.e. /usr/include, /usr/lib. 

@node Running
@chapter Running
@cindex running openocd
@cindex --configfile
@cindex --debug_level
@cindex --logfile
@cindex --search
The OpenOCD runs as a daemon, waiting for connections from clients (Telnet or GDB).
Run with @option{--help} or @option{-h} to view the available command line arguments.

It reads its configuration by default from the file openocd.cfg located in the current
working directory. This may be overwritten with the @option{-f <configfile>} command line
switch.

To enable debug output (when reporting problems or working on OpenOCD itself), use
the @option{-d} command line switch. This sets the debug_level to "3", outputting
the most information, including debug messages. The default setting is "2", outputting
only informational messages, warnings and errors. You can also change this setting
from within a telnet or gdb session (@option{debug_level <n>}).

You can redirect all output from the daemon to a file using the @option{-l <logfile>} switch.

Search paths for config/script files can be added to openocd by using
the @option{-s <search>} switch.

@node Configuration
@chapter Configuration
@cindex configuration
The Open On-Chip Debugger (OpenOCD) runs as a daemon, and reads it current configuration
by default from the file openocd.cfg in the current directory. A different configuration
file can be specified with the  @option{-f <conf.file>} given at the openocd command line.

The configuration file is used to specify on which ports the daemon listens for new
connections, the JTAG interface used to connect to the target, the layout of the JTAG
chain, the targets that should be debugged, and connected flashes.

@section Daemon configuration

@itemize @bullet
@item @b{telnet_port} <@var{number}>
@cindex telnet_port
Port on which to listen for incoming telnet connections 
@item @b{gdb_port} <@var{number}>
@cindex gdb_port
First port on which to listen for incoming GDB connections. The GDB port for the
first target will be gdb_port, the second target will listen on gdb_port + 1, and so on. 
@item @b{gdb_detach} <@var{resume|reset|halt|nothing}>
@cindex gdb_detach
Configures what openocd will do when gdb detaches from the daeman.
Default behaviour is <@var{resume}>
@item @b{gdb_memory_map} <@var{enable|disable}>
@cindex gdb_memory_map
Set to <@var{enable}> so that openocd will send the memory configuration to gdb when
requested. gdb will then know when to set hardware breakpoints, and program flash
using the gdb load command. @option{gdb_flash_program enable} will also need enabling
for flash programming to work.
Default behaviour is <@var{disable}>
@item @b{gdb_flash_program} <@var{enable|disable}>
@cindex gdb_flash_program
Set to <@var{enable}> so that openocd will program the flash memory when a
vFlash packet is received.
Default behaviour is <@var{disable}>
@item @b{daemon_startup} <@var{mode}> either @samp{attach} or @samp{reset}
@cindex daemon_startup
Tells the OpenOCD whether it should reset the target when the daemon is launched, or
if it should just attach to the target. 
@end itemize

@section JTAG interface configuration

@itemize @bullet
@item @b{interface} <@var{name}>
@cindex interface
Use the interface driver <@var{name}> to connect to the target. Currently supported
interfaces are
@itemize @minus
@item parport
PC parallel port bit-banging (Wigglers, PLD download cable, ...)
@end itemize
@itemize @minus
@item amt_jtagaccel
Amontec Chameleon in its JTAG Accelerator configuration connected to a PC's EPP
mode parallel port
@end itemize
@itemize @minus
@item ft2232
FTDI FT2232 based devices using either the open-source libftdi or the binary only
FTD2XX driver. The FTD2XX is superior in performance, but not available on every
platform. The libftdi uses libusb, and should be portable to all systems that provide
libusb.
@end itemize
@itemize @minus
@item ep93xx
Cirrus Logic EP93xx based single-board computer bit-banging (in development)
@end itemize
@end itemize

@itemize @bullet
@item @b{jtag_speed} <@var{reset speed}> <@var{post reset speed}>
@cindex jtag_speed
Limit the maximum speed of the JTAG interface. Usually, a value of zero means maximum
speed. The actual effect of this option depends on the JTAG interface used. Reset
speed is used during reset and post reset speed after reset. post reset speed
is optional, in which case the reset speed is used.
@itemize @minus





@item wiggler: maximum speed / @var{number}
@item ft2232: 6MHz / (@var{number}+1)
@item amt jtagaccel: 8 / 2**@var{number}
@end itemize

Note: Make sure the jtag clock is no more than @math{1/6th × CPU-Clock}. This is
especially true for synthesized cores (-S).

@item @b{jtag_khz} <@var{reset speed kHz}>  <@var{post reset speed kHz}>
@cindex jtag_khz
Same as jtag_speed, except that the speed is specified in maximum kHz. If
the device can not support the rate asked for, or can not translate from
kHz to jtag_speed, then an error is returned. 0 means RTCK. If RTCK
is not supported, then an error is reported.

@item @b{reset_config} <@var{signals}> [@var{combination}] [@var{trst_type}] [@var{srst_type}]
@cindex reset_config
The configuration of the reset signals available on the JTAG interface AND the target.
If the JTAG interface provides SRST, but the target doesn't connect that signal properly,
then OpenOCD can't use it. <@var{signals}> can be @samp{none}, @samp{trst_only},
@samp{srst_only} or @samp{trst_and_srst}.
[@var{combination}] is an optional value specifying broken reset signal implementations.
@samp{srst_pulls_trst} states that the testlogic is reset together with the reset of
the system (e.g. Philips LPC2000, "broken" board layout), @samp{trst_pulls_srst} says
that the system is reset together with the test logic (only hypothetical, I haven't
seen hardware with such a bug, and can be worked around).

The [@var{trst_type}] and [@var{srst_type}] parameters allow the driver type of the
reset lines to be specified. Possible values are @samp{trst_push_pull} (default)
and @samp{trst_open_drain} for the test reset signal, and @samp{srst_open_drain}
(default) and @samp{srst_push_pull} for the system reset. These values only affect
JTAG interfaces with support for different drivers, like the Amontec JTAGkey and JTAGAccelerator. 

@item @b{jtag_device} <@var{IR length}> <@var{IR capture}> <@var{IR mask}> <@var{IDCODE instruction}>
@cindex jtag_device
Describes the devices that form the JTAG daisy chain, with the first device being
the one closest to TDO. The parameters are the length of the instruction register
(4 for all ARM7/9s), the value captured during Capture-IR (0x1 for ARM7/9), and a mask
of bits that should be validated when doing IR scans (all four bits (0xf) for ARM7/9).
The IDCODE instruction will in future be used to query devices for their JTAG
identification code. This line is the same for all ARM7 and ARM9 devices.
Other devices, like CPLDs, require different parameters. An example configuration
line for a Xilinx XC9500 CPLD would look like this:
@smallexample
jtag_device 8 0x01 0x0e3 0xfe
@end smallexample
The instruction register (IR) is 8 bits long, during Capture-IR 0x01 is loaded into
the IR, but only bits 0-1 and 5-7 should be checked, the others (2-4) might vary.
The IDCODE instruction is 0xfe.

@item @b{jtag_nsrst_delay} <@var{ms}>
@cindex jtag_nsrst_delay
How long (in miliseconds) the OpenOCD should wait after deasserting nSRST before
starting new JTAG operations. 
@item @b{jtag_ntrst_delay} <@var{ms}>
@cindex jtag_ntrst_delay
How long (in miliseconds) the OpenOCD should wait after deasserting nTRST before
starting new JTAG operations. 

The jtag_n[st]rst_delay options are useful if reset circuitry (like a reset supervisor,
or on-chip features) keep a reset line asserted for some time after the external reset
got deasserted.
@end itemize

@section parport options

@itemize @bullet
@item @b{parport_port} <@var{number}>
@cindex parport_port
Either the address of the I/O port (default: 0x378 for LPT1) or the number of
the @file{/dev/parport} device

When using PPDEV to access the parallel port, use the number of the parallel port:
@option{parport_port 0} (the default). If @option{parport_port 0x378} is specified
you may encounter a problem.
@item @b{parport_cable} <@var{name}>
@cindex parport_cable
The layout of the parallel port cable used to connect to the target.
Currently supported cables are 
@itemize @minus
@item wiggler
@cindex wiggler
Original Wiggler layout, also supported by several clones, such
as the Olimex ARM-JTAG
@item old_amt_wiggler
@cindex old_amt_wiggler

@cindex triton
The parallel port adapter found on the 'Karo Triton 1 Development Board'.
This is also the layout used by the HollyGates design
(see @uref{http://www.lartmaker.nl/projects/jtag/}).
@item flashlink
@cindex flashlink
ST Parallel cable. 
@end itemize
@item @b{parport_write_on_exit} <@var{on|off}>
@cindex parport_write_on_exit
This will configure the parallel driver to write a known value to the parallel
interface on exiting openocd
@end itemize

@section amt_jtagaccel options
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{parport_port} <@var{number}>
@cindex parport_port
Either the address of the I/O port (default: 0x378 for LPT1) or the number of the
@file{/dev/parport} device 
@end itemize
@section ft2232 options

@itemize @bullet
@item @b{ft2232_device_desc} <@var{description}>
@cindex ft2232_device_desc
The USB device description of the FTDI FT2232 device. If not specified, the FTDI
default value is used. This setting is only valid if compiled with FTD2XX support.
@item @b{ft2232_layout} <@var{name}>
@cindex ft2232_layout
The layout of the FT2232 GPIO signals used to control output-enables and reset

@end itemize

@item @b{ft2232_vid_pid} <@var{vid}> <@var{pid}>
The vendor ID and product ID of the FTDI FT2232 device. If not specified, the FTDI
default values are used. This command is not available on Windows. 
@item @b{ft2232_latency} <@var{ms}>
On some systems using ft2232 based JTAG interfaces the FT_Read function call in
ft2232_read() fails to return the expected number of bytes. This can be caused by
USB communication delays and has proved hard to reproduce and debug. Setting the
FT2232 latency timer to a larger value increases delays for short USB packages but it
also reduces the risk of timeouts before receiving the expected number of bytes.
The OpenOCD default value is 2 and for some systems a value of 10 has proved useful. 
@end itemize

@section ep93xx options
@cindex ep93xx options
Currently, there are no options available for the ep93xx interface.

@page
@section Target configuration

@itemize @bullet
@item @b{target} <@var{type}> <@var{endianess}> <@var{reset_mode}> <@var{JTAG pos}>
<@var{variant}>
@cindex target
Defines a target that should be debugged. Currently supported types are:
@itemize @minus
@item arm7tdmi
@item arm720t
@item arm9tdmi
@item arm920t
@item arm922t
@item arm926ejs
@item arm966e
@item cortex_m3
@item feroceon 
@item xscale 
@end itemize

If you want to use a target board that is not on this list, see Adding a new
target board

Endianess may be @option{little} or @option{big}.

The reset_mode specifies what should happen to the target when a reset occurs:
@itemize @minus
@item reset_halt
@cindex reset_halt
Immediately request a target halt after reset. This allows targets to be debugged
from the very first instruction. This is only possible with targets and JTAG
interfaces that correctly implement the reset signals.
@item reset_init
@cindex reset_init
Similar to @option{reset_halt}, but executes the script file defined to handle the
'reset' event for the target. Like @option{reset_halt} this only works with
correct reset implementations.
@item reset_run
@cindex reset_run
Simply let the target run after a reset.
@item run_and_halt
@cindex run_and_halt
Let the target run for some time (default: 1s), and then request halt.
@item run_and_init
@cindex run_and_init
A combination of @option{reset_init} and @option{run_and_halt}. The target is allowed
to run for some time, then halted, and the @option{reset} event script is executed. 
@end itemize

On JTAG interfaces / targets where system reset and test-logic reset can't be driven
completely independent (like the LPC2000 series), or where the JTAG interface is
unavailable for some time during startup (like the STR7 series), you can't use
@option{reset_halt} or @option{reset_init}.

@item @b{target_script} <@var{target#}> <@var{event}> <@var{script_file}>
@cindex target_script
Event is either @option{reset}, @option{post_halt}, @option{pre_resume} or @option{gdb_program_config}

TODO: describe exact semantic of events
@item @b{run_and_halt_time} <@var{target#}> <@var{time_in_ms}>
@cindex run_and_halt_time
The amount of time the debugger should wait after releasing reset before it asserts
a debug request. This is used by the @option{run_and_halt} and @option{run_and_init}
reset modes. 
@item @b{working_area} <@var{target#}> <@var{address}> <@var{size}>
<@var{backup}|@var{nobackup}>
@cindex working_area
Specifies a working area for the debugger to use. This may be used to speed-up
downloads to target memory and flash operations, or to perform otherwise unavailable
operations (some coprocessor operations on ARM7/9 systems, for example). The last
parameter decides whether the memory should be preserved <@var{backup}>. If possible, use
a working_area that doesn't need to be backed up, as that slows down operation. 
@end itemize

@subsection arm7tdmi options
@cindex arm7tdmi options
target arm7tdmi <@var{endianess}> <@var{reset_mode}> <@var{jtag#}>
The arm7tdmi target definition requires at least one additional argument, specifying
the position of the target in the JTAG daisy-chain. The first JTAG device is number 0.
The optional [@var{variant}] parameter has been removed in recent versions.
The correct feature set is determined at runtime. 

@subsection arm720t options
@cindex arm720t options
ARM720t options are similar to ARM7TDMI options.

@subsection arm9tdmi options
@cindex arm9tdmi options
ARM9TDMI options are similar to ARM7TDMI options. Supported variants are
@option{arm920t}, @option{arm922t} and @option{arm940t}.
This enables the hardware single-stepping support found on these cores.

@subsection arm920t options
@cindex arm920t options
ARM920t options are similar to ARM9TDMI options.

@subsection arm966e options
@cindex arm966e options
ARM966e options are similar to ARM9TDMI options.

@subsection xscale options
@cindex xscale options
Supported variants are @option{ixp42x}, @option{ixp45x}, @option{ixp46x},
@option{pxa250}, @option{pxa255}, @option{pxa26x}.

@section Flash configuration

@item @b{flash bank} <@var{driver}> <@var{base}> <@var{size}> <@var{chip_width}>
<@var{bus_width}> <@var{target#}> [@var{driver_options ...}]
@cindex flash bank
Configures a flash bank at <@var{base}> of <@var{size}> bytes and <@var{chip_width}>
and <@var{bus_width}> bytes using the selected flash <driver>.

@item @b{flash auto_erase} <@option{on}|@option{off}>
@cindex flash auto_erase
auto erase flash banks prior to writing. Currently only works when using
@option{flash write_image} command. Default is @option{off}.
@end itemize

@subsection lpc2000 options
@cindex lpc2000 options

@b{flash bank lpc2000} <@var{base}> <@var{size}> 0 0 <@var{target#}> <@var{variant}>
<@var{clock}> [@var{calc_checksum}]
LPC flashes don't require the chip and bus width to be specified. Additional
parameters are the <@var{variant}>, which may be @var{lpc2000_v1} (older LPC21xx and LPC22xx)
or @var{lpc2000_v2} (LPC213x, LPC214x, LPC210[123], LPC23xx and LPC24xx), the number
of the target this flash belongs to (first is 0), the frequency at which the core
is currently running (in kHz - must be an integral number), and the optional keyword
@var{calc_checksum}, telling the driver to calculate a valid checksum for the exception
vector table. 

@subsection cfi options
@cindex cfi options

@b{flash bank cfi} <@var{base}> <@var{size}> <@var{chip_width}> <@var{bus_width}>
<@var{target#}>
CFI flashes require the number of the target they're connected to as an additional
argument. The CFI driver makes use of a working area (specified for the target)
to significantly speed up operation. 

@var{chip_width} and @var{bus_width} are specified in bytes.

@subsection at91sam7 options
@cindex at91sam7 options

@b{flash bank at91sam7} 0 0 0 0 <@var{target#}>
AT91SAM7 flashes only require the @var{target#}, all other values are looked up after
reading the chip-id and type. 

@subsection str7 options
@cindex str7 options

@b{flash bank str7x} <@var{base}> <@var{size}> 0 0 <@var{target#}> <@var{variant}>
variant can be either STR71x, STR73x or STR75x. 

@subsection str9 options
@cindex str9 options

@b{flash bank str9x} <@var{base}> <@var{size}> 0 0 <@var{target#}>
The str9 needs the flash controller to be configured prior to Flash programming, eg.
@smallexample
str9x flash_config 0 4 2 0 0x80000
@end smallexample
This will setup the BBSR, NBBSR, BBADR and NBBADR registers respectively. 

@subsection str9 options (str9xpec driver)

@b{flash bank str9xpec} <@var{base}> <@var{size}> 0 0 <@var{target#}>
Before using the flash commands the turbo mode will need enabling using str9xpec
@option{enable_turbo} <@var{num>.}

Only use this driver for locking/unlocking the device or configuring the option bytes.
Use the standard str9 driver for programming.

@subsection stellaris (LM3Sxxx) options
@cindex stellaris (LM3Sxxx) options

@b{flash bank stellaris} <@var{base}> <@var{size}> 0 0 <@var{target#}>
stellaris flash plugin only require the @var{target#}.

@node Commands
@chapter Commands
@cindex commands

The Open On-Chip Debugger (OpenOCD) allows user interaction through a telnet interface
(default: port 4444) and a GDB server (default: port 3333). The command line interpreter
is available from both the telnet interface and a GDB session. To issue commands to the
interpreter from within a GDB session, use the @option{monitor} command, e.g. use
@option{monitor poll} to issue the @option{poll} command. All output is relayed through the
GDB session.

@section Daemon

@itemize @bullet
@item @b{sleep} <@var{msec}>
@cindex sleep
Wait for n milliseconds before resuming. Useful in connection with script files
(@var{script} command and @var{target_script} configuration). 

@item @b{shutdown}
@cindex shutdown
Close the OpenOCD daemon, disconnecting all clients (GDB, Telnet). 

@item @b{debug_level} [@var{n}]
@cindex debug_level
Display or adjust debug level to n<0-3> 

@item @b{log_output} <@var{file}>
@cindex log_output
Redirect logging to <file> (default: stderr) 

@item @b{script} <@var{file}>
@cindex script
Execute commands from <file> 

@end itemize

@subsection Target state handling
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{poll} [@option{on}|@option{off}]
@cindex poll
Poll the target for its current state. If the target is in debug mode, architecture
specific information about the current state are printed. An optional parameter
allows continuous polling to be enabled and disabled.

@item @b{halt} [@option{ms}]
@cindex halt
Send a halt request to the target and waits for it to halt for [@option{ms}].
Default [@option{ms}] is 5 seconds if no arg given.
Optional arg @option{ms} is a timeout in milliseconds. Using 0 as the [@option{ms}]
will stop openocd from waiting.

@item @b{wait_halt} [@option{ms}]
@cindex wait_halt
Wait for the target to enter debug mode. Optional [@option{ms}] is
a timeout in milliseconds. Default [@option{ms}] is 5 seconds if no
arg given.

@item @b{resume} [@var{address}]
@cindex resume
Resume the target at its current code position, or at an optional address.
Openocd will wait 5 seconds for the target to resume.

@item @b{step} [@var{address}]
@cindex step
Single-step the target at its current code position, or at an optional address. 

@item @b{reset} [@option{run}|@option{halt}|@option{init}|@option{run_and_halt}
|@option{run_and_init}]
@cindex reset
Do a hard-reset. The optional parameter specifies what should happen after the reset.
This optional parameter overwrites the setting specified in the configuration file,
making the new behaviour the default for the @option{reset} command.
@itemize @minus
@item run
@cindex reset run
Let the target run.
@item halt
@cindex reset halt
Immediately halt the target (works only with certain configurations).
@item init
@cindex reset init
Immediately halt the target, and execute the reset script (works only with certain
configurations)
@item run_and_halt
@cindex reset run_and_halt
Let the target run for a certain amount of time, then request a halt.
@item run_and_init
@cindex reset run_and_init
Let the target run for a certain amount of time, then request a halt. Execute the
reset script once the target entered debug mode.

depends on the flash type. 
@item @b{flash erase_check} <@var{num}>
@cindex flash erase_check
Check erase state of sectors in flash bank <@var{num}>. This is the only operation that
updates the erase state information displayed by @option{flash info}. That means you have
to issue an @option{erase_check} command after erasing or programming the device to get
updated information. 
@item @b{flash protect_check} <@var{num}>

@subsection AT91SAM7 specific commands
@cindex AT91SAM7 specific commands
The flash configuration is deduced from the chip identification register. The flash
controller handles erases automatically on a page (128/265 byte) basis so erase is
not necessary for flash programming. AT91SAM7 processors with less than 512K flash
only have a single flash bank embedded on chip. AT91SAM7xx512 have two flash planes
that can be erased separatly.Only an EraseAll command is supported by the controller
for each flash plane and this is called with
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{flash erase} <@var{num}> @var{first_plane} @var{last_plane}
bulk erase flash planes first_plane to last_plane.

or Intel XScale (XScale isn't supported yet).
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{armv4_5 reg}
@cindex armv4_5 reg
Display a list of all banked core registers, fetching the current value from every
core mode if necessary. OpenOCD versions before rev. 60 didn't fetch the current
register value. 
@item @b{armv4_5 core_mode} [@option{arm}|@option{thumb}]
@cindex armv4_5 core_mode
Displays the core_mode, optionally changing it to either ARM or Thumb mode.
The target is resumed in the currently set @option{core_mode}. 
@end itemize

@subsection ARM7/9 specific commands
@cindex ARM7/9 specific commands

These commands are specific to ARM7 and ARM9 targets, like ARM7TDMI, ARM720t,
ARM920t or ARM926EJ-S.
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{arm7_9 sw_bkpts} <@option{enable}|@option{disable}>
@cindex arm7_9 sw_bkpts
Enable/disable use of software breakpoints. On ARMv4 systems, this reserves
one of the watchpoint registers to implement software breakpoints. Disabling
SW Bkpts frees that register again. 
@item @b{arm7_9 force_hw_bkpts} <@option{enable}|@option{disable}>
@cindex arm7_9 force_hw_bkpts
When @option{force_hw_bkpts} is enabled, the @option{sw_bkpts} support is disabled, and all
breakpoints are turned into hardware breakpoints.
@item @b{arm7_9 dbgrq} <@option{enable}|@option{disable}>
@cindex arm7_9 dbgrq
Enable use of the DBGRQ bit to force entry into debug mode. This should be
safe for all but ARM7TDMI--S cores (like Philips LPC).

@cindex arm7_9 fast_writes [DEPRECATED]
See @option{arm7_9 fast_memory_access} instead. 
@item @b{arm7_9 fast_memory_access} <@option{enable}|@option{disable}>
@cindex arm7_9 fast_memory_access
Allow the OpenOCD to read and write memory without checking completion of
the operation. This provides a huge speed increase, especially with USB JTAG
cables (FT2232), but might be unsafe if used with targets running at a very low
speed, like the 32kHz startup clock of an AT91RM9200. 
@item @b{arm7_9 dcc_downloads} <@option{enable}|@option{disable}>
@cindex arm7_9 dcc_downloads
Enable the use of the debug communications channel (DCC) to write larger (>128 byte)
amounts of memory. DCC downloads offer a huge speed increase, but might be potentially
unsafe, especially with targets running at a very low speed. This command was introduced
with OpenOCD rev. 60.

@node GDB and Openocd
@chapter GDB and Openocd
@cindex GDB and Openocd
Openocd complies with the remote gdbserver protocol, and as such can be used
to debug remote targets.

@section Connecting to gdb
@cindex Connecting to gdb
A connection is typically started as follows:
@smallexample
target remote localhost:3333
@end smallexample
This would cause gdb to connect to the gdbserver on the local pc using port 3333.

To see a list of available openocd commands type @option{monitor help} on the
gdb commandline.

Openocd supports the gdb @option{qSupported} packet, this enables information
to be sent by the gdb server (openocd) to gdb. Typical information includes
packet size and device memory map.

Previous versions of openocd required the following gdb options to increase
the packet size and speed up gdb communication.
@smallexample
set remote memory-write-packet-size 1024
set remote memory-write-packet-size fixed
set remote memory-read-packet-size 1024
set remote memory-read-packet-size fixed
@end smallexample
This is now handled in the @option{qSupported} PacketSize.

@section Programming using gdb
@cindex Programming using gdb

By default the target memory map is not sent to gdb, this can be enabled by
the following openocd config option:
@smallexample
gdb_memory_map enable
@end smallexample
For this to function correctly a valid flash config must also be configured
in openocd. For speed also configure a valid working area.

Informing gdb of the memory map of the target will enable gdb to protect any
flash area of the target and use hardware breakpoints by default. This means
that the openocd option @option{arm7_9 force_hw_bkpts} is not required when
using a memory map.

To view the configured memory map in gdb, use the gdb command @option{info mem}
All other unasigned addresses within gdb are treated as RAM.

If @option{gdb_flash_program enable} is also used, gdb will be able to
program any flash memory using the vFlash interface.

gdb will look at the target memory map when a load command is given, if any
areas to be programmed lie within the target flash area the vFlash packets
will be used.

Incase the target needs configuring before gdb programming, a script can be executed.
@smallexample
target_script 0 gdb_program_config config.script
@end smallexample

To verify any flash programming the gdb command @option{compare-sections}
can be used.

@node FAQ
@chapter FAQ
@cindex faq
@enumerate
@item OpenOCD complains about a missing cygwin1.dll.

Make sure you have Cygwin installed, or at least a version of OpenOCD that
claims to come with all the necessary dlls. When using Cygwin, try launching
the OpenOCD from the Cygwin shell.

@item I'm trying to set a breakpoint using GDB (or a frontend like Insight or
Eclipse), but OpenOCD complains that "Info: arm7_9_common.c:213
arm7_9_add_breakpoint(): sw breakpoint requested, but software breakpoints not enabled".

GDB issues software breakpoints when a normal breakpoint is requested, or to implement
source-line single-stepping. On ARMv4T systems, like ARM7TDMI, ARM720t or ARM920t,
software breakpoints consume one of the two available hardware breakpoints,
and are therefore disabled by default. If your code is running from RAM, you
can enable software breakpoints with the @option{arm7_9 sw_bkpts enable} command. If
your code resides in Flash, you can't use software breakpoints, but you can force
OpenOCD to use hardware breakpoints instead: @option{arm7_9 force_hw_bkpts enable}.

@item When erasing or writing LPC2000 on-chip flash, the operation fails sometimes
and works sometimes fine.

Make sure the core frequency specified in the @option{flash lpc2000} line matches the
clock at the time you're programming the flash. If you've specified the crystal's
frequency, make sure the PLL is disabled, if you've specified the full core speed
(e.g. 60MHz), make sure the PLL is enabled.

@item When debugging using an Amontec Chameleon in its JTAG Accelerator configuration,
I keep getting "Error: amt_jtagaccel.c:184 amt_wait_scan_busy(): amt_jtagaccel timed
out while waiting for end of scan, rtck was disabled".

Make sure your PC's parallel port operates in EPP mode. You might have to try several
settings in your PC BIOS (ECP, EPP, and different versions of those).

@item When debugging with the OpenOCD and GDB (plain GDB, Insight, or Eclipse),
I get lots of "Error: arm7_9_common.c:1771 arm7_9_read_memory():
memory read caused data abort". 

The errors are non-fatal, and are the result of GDB trying to trace stack frames
beyond the last valid frame. It might be possible to prevent this by setting up
a proper "initial" stack frame, if you happen to know what exactly has to
be done, feel free to add this here.

@item I get the following message in the OpenOCD console (or log file):
"Warning: arm7_9_common.c:679 arm7_9_assert_reset(): srst resets test logic, too".

This warning doesn't indicate any serious problem, as long as you don't want to
debug your core right out of reset. Your .cfg file specified @option{jtag_reset
trst_and_srst srst_pulls_trst} to tell the OpenOCD that either your board,
your debugger or your target uC (e.g. LPC2000) can't assert the two reset signals
independently. With this setup, it's not possible to halt the core right out of
reset, everything else should work fine.

@item When using OpenOCD in conjunction with Amontec JTAGkey and the Yagarto
Toolchain (Eclipse, arm-elf-gcc, arm-elf-gdb), the debugging seems to be
unstable. When single-stepping over large blocks of code, GDB and OpenOCD
quit with an error message. Is there a stability issue with OpenOCD?

No, this is not a stability issue concerning OpenOCD. Most users have solved
this issue by simply using a self-powered USB hub, which they connect their
Amontec JTAGkey to. Apparently, some computers do not provide a USB power
supply stable enough for the Amontec JTAGkey to be operated.

@item When using the Amontec JTAGkey, sometimes OpenOCD crashes with the
following error messages: "Error: ft2232.c:201 ft2232_read(): FT_Read returned:
4" and "Error: ft2232.c:365 ft2232_send_and_recv(): couldn't read from FT2232".
What does that mean and what might be the reason for this?

First of all, the reason might be the USB power supply. Try using a self-powered
hub instead of a direct connection to your computer. Secondly, the error code 4
corresponds to an FT_IO_ERROR, which means that the driver for the FTDI USB
chip ran into some sort of error - this points us to a USB problem.

@item When using the Amontec JTAGkey, sometimes OpenOCD crashes with the following
error message: "Error: gdb_server.c:101 gdb_get_char(): read: 10054".
What does that mean and what might be the reason for this?

Error code 10054 corresponds to WSAECONNRESET, which means that the debugger (GDB)
has closed the connection to OpenOCD. This might be a GDB issue.

@item In the configuration file in the section where flash device configurations
are described, there is a parameter for specifying the clock frequency for
LPC2000 internal flash devices (e.g.
@option{flash bank lpc2000 0x0 0x40000 0 0 0 lpc2000_v1 14746 calc_checksum}),
which must be specified in kilohertz. However, I do have a quartz crystal of a
frequency that contains fractions of kilohertz (e.g. 14,745,600 Hz, i.e. 14,745.600 kHz).
Is it possible to specify real numbers for the clock frequency?

No. The clock frequency specified here must be given as an integral number.
However, this clock frequency is used by the In-Application-Programming (IAP)
routines of the LPC2000 family only, which seems to be very tolerant concerning
the given clock frequency, so a slight difference between the specified clock
frequency and the actual clock frequency will not cause any trouble.

@item Do I have to keep a specific order for the commands in the configuration file?

Well, yes and no. Commands can be given in arbitrary order, yet the devices
listed for the JTAG scan chain must be given in the right order (jtag_device),
with the device closest to the TDO-Pin being listed first. In general,
whenever objects of the same type exist which require an index number, then
these objects must be given in the right order (jtag_devices, targets and flash
banks - a target references a jtag_device and a flash bank references a target).

@item Sometimes my debugging session terminates with an error. When I look into the
log file, I can see these error messages: Error: arm7_9_common.c:561
arm7_9_execute_sys_speed(): timeout waiting for SYSCOMP
