100 OpenOCD was created by Dominic Rath as part of a 2005 diploma thesis written
101 at the University of Applied Sciences Augsburg (@uref{http://www.hs-augsburg.de}).
102 Since that time, the project has grown into an active open-source project,
103 supported by a diverse community of software and hardware developers from
104 around the world.
105
106 @section What is OpenOCD?
107 @cindex TAP
108 @cindex JTAG
109
110 The Open On-Chip Debugger (OpenOCD) aims to provide debugging,
111 in-system programming and boundary-scan testing for embedded target
112 devices.
113
114 It does so with the assistance of a @dfn{debug adapter}, which is
115 a small hardware module which helps provide the right kind of
116 electrical signaling to the target being debugged. These are
117 required since the debug host (on which OpenOCD runs) won't
118 usually have native support for such signaling, or the connector
119 needed to hook up to the target.
120
121 Such debug adapters support one or more @dfn{transport} protocols,
122 each of which involves different electrical signaling (and uses
123 different messaging protocols on top of that signaling). There
124 are many types of debug adapter, and little uniformity in what
125 they are called. (There are also product naming differences.)
126
127 These adapters are sometimes packaged as discrete dongles, which
128 may generically be called @dfn{hardware interface dongles}.
129 Some development boards also integrate them directly, which may
130 let the development board connect directly to the debug
131 host over USB (and sometimes also to power it over USB).
132
133 For example, a @dfn{JTAG Adapter} supports JTAG
134 signaling, and is used to communicate
135 with JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) compliant TAPs on your target board.
136 A @dfn{TAP} is a ``Test Access Port'', a module which processes
137 special instructions and data. TAPs are daisy-chained within and
138 between chips and boards. JTAG supports debugging and boundary
139 scan operations.
140
141 There are also @dfn{SWD Adapters} that support Serial Wire Debug (SWD)
142 signaling to communicate with some newer ARM cores, as well as debug
143 adapters which support both JTAG and SWD transports. SWD supports only
144 debugging, whereas JTAG also supports boundary scan operations.
145
146 For some chips, there are also @dfn{Programming Adapters} supporting
147 special transports used only to write code to flash memory, without
148 support for on-chip debugging or boundary scan.
149 (At this writing, OpenOCD does not support such non-debug adapters.)
150
151
152 @b{Dongles:} OpenOCD currently supports many types of hardware dongles:
153 USB-based, parallel port-based, and other standalone boxes that run
154 OpenOCD internally. @xref{Debug Adapter Hardware}.
155
156 @b{GDB Debug:} It allows ARM7 (ARM7TDMI and ARM720t), ARM9 (ARM920T,
157 ARM922T, ARM926EJ--S, ARM966E--S), XScale (PXA25x, IXP42x), Cortex-M3
158 (Stellaris LM3, STMicroelectronics STM32 and Energy Micro EFM32) and
159 Intel Quark (x10xx) based cores to be debugged via the GDB protocol.
160
161 @b{Flash Programming:} Flash writing is supported for external
162 CFI-compatible NOR flashes (Intel and AMD/Spansion command set) and several
163 internal flashes (LPC1700, LPC1800, LPC2000, LPC4300, AT91SAM7, AT91SAM3U,
164 STR7x, STR9x, LM3, STM32x and EFM32). Preliminary support for various NAND flash
165 controllers (LPC3180, Orion, S3C24xx, more) is included.

184
185 @section OpenOCD User's Forum
186
187 There is an OpenOCD forum (phpBB) hosted by SparkFun,
188 which might be helpful to you. Note that if you want
189 anything to come to the attention of developers, you
190 should post it to the OpenOCD Developer Mailing List
191 instead of this forum.
192
193 @uref{http://forum.sparkfun.com/viewforum.php?f=18}
194
195 @section OpenOCD User's Mailing List
196
197 The OpenOCD User Mailing List provides the primary means of
198 communication between users:

208 @chapter OpenOCD Developer Resources
209 @cindex developers
210
211 If you are interested in improving the state of OpenOCD's debugging and
212 testing support, new contributions will be welcome. Motivated developers
213 can produce new target, flash or interface drivers, improve the
214 documentation, as well as more conventional bug fixes and enhancements.
215
216 The resources in this chapter are available for developers wishing to explore
217 or expand the OpenOCD source code.
218
219 @section OpenOCD Git Repository
220
221 During the 0.3.x release cycle, OpenOCD switched from Subversion to
222 a Git repository hosted at SourceForge. The repository URL is:
223
224 @uref{git://git.code.sf.net/p/openocd/code}
225
226 or via http
227
228 @uref{http://git.code.sf.net/p/openocd/code}
229
230 You may prefer to use a mirror and the HTTP protocol:
231
232 @uref{http://repo.or.cz/r/openocd.git}
233
234 With standard Git tools, use @command{git clone} to initialize
235 a local repository, and @command{git pull} to update it.
236 There are also gitweb pages letting you browse the repository
237 with a web browser, or download arbitrary snapshots without
238 needing a Git client:
239
240 @uref{http://repo.or.cz/w/openocd.git}
241
242 The @file{README} file contains the instructions for building the project
243 from the repository or a snapshot.
244
245 Developers that want to contribute patches to the OpenOCD system are
246 @b{strongly} encouraged to work against mainline.
247 Patches created against older versions may require additional
248 work from their submitter in order to be updated for newer releases.
249
250 @section Doxygen Developer Manual
251
252 During the 0.2.x release cycle, the OpenOCD project began
253 providing a Doxygen reference manual. This document contains more
254 technical information about the software internals, development
255 processes, and similar documentation:
256
257 @uref{http://openocd.org/doc/doxygen/html/index.html}
258
259 This document is a work-in-progress, but contributions would be welcome
260 to fill in the gaps. All of the source files are provided in-tree,
261 listed in the Doxyfile configuration at the top of the source tree.
262
263 @section Gerrit Review System
264
265 All changes in the OpenOCD Git repository go through the web-based Gerrit
266 Code Review System:
267
268 @uref{https://review.openocd.org/}
269
270 After a one-time registration and repository setup, anyone can push commits
271 from their local Git repository directly into Gerrit.
272 All users and developers are encouraged to review, test, discuss and vote
273 for changes in Gerrit. The feedback provides the basis for a maintainer to
274 eventually submit the change to the main Git repository.
275
276 The @file{HACKING} file, also available as the Patch Guide in the Doxygen
277 Developer Manual, contains basic information about how to connect a
278 repository to Gerrit, prepare and push patches. Patch authors are expected to
279 maintain their changes while they're in Gerrit, respond to feedback and if
280 necessary rework and push improved versions of the change.
281

312 @section Choosing a Dongle
313
314 There are several things you should keep in mind when choosing a dongle.
315
316 @enumerate
317 @item @b{Transport} Does it support the kind of communication that you need?
318 OpenOCD focuses mostly on JTAG. Your version may also support
319 other ways to communicate with target devices.
320 @item @b{Voltage} What voltage is your target - 1.8, 2.8, 3.3, or 5V?
321 Does your dongle support it? You might need a level converter.
322 @item @b{Pinout} What pinout does your target board use?
323 Does your dongle support it? You may be able to use jumper
324 wires, or an "octopus" connector, to convert pinouts.
325 @item @b{Connection} Does your computer have the USB, parallel, or
326 Ethernet port needed?
327 @item @b{RTCK} Do you expect to use it with ARM chips and boards with
328 RTCK support (also known as ``adaptive clocking'')?
329 @end enumerate
330
331 @section USB FT2232 Based
332
333 There are many USB JTAG dongles on the market, many of them based
334 on a chip from ``Future Technology Devices International'' (FTDI)
335 known as the FTDI FT2232; this is a USB full speed (12 Mbps) chip.
336 See: @url{http://www.ftdichip.com} for more information.
337 In summer 2009, USB high speed (480 Mbps) versions of these FTDI
338 chips started to become available in JTAG adapters. Around 2012, a new
339 variant appeared - FT232H - this is a single-channel version of FT2232H.
340 (Adapters using those high speed FT2232H or FT232H chips may support adaptive
341 clocking.)
342
343 The FT2232 chips are flexible enough to support some other
344 transport options, such as SWD or the SPI variants used to
345 program some chips. They have two communications channels,
346 and one can be used for a UART adapter at the same time the
347 other one is used to provide a debug adapter.
348
349 Also, some development boards integrate an FT2232 chip to serve as
350 a built-in low-cost debug adapter and USB-to-serial solution.

365 bundle FT2232-based JTAG and SWD support, which can be used to debug
366 the Stellaris chips. Using separate JTAG adapters is optional.
367 These boards can also be used in a "pass through" mode as JTAG adapters
368 to other target boards, disabling the Stellaris chip.

634
635 OpenOCD uses a small ``Tcl Interpreter'' known as Jim-Tcl.
636 This programming language provides a simple and extensible
637 command interpreter.
638
639 All commands presented in this Guide are extensions to Jim-Tcl.
640 You can use them as simple commands, without needing to learn
641 much of anything about Tcl.
642 Alternatively, you can write Tcl programs with them.
643
644 You can learn more about Jim at its website, @url{http://jim.tcl.tk}.
645 There is an active and responsive community, get on the mailing list
646 if you have any questions. Jim-Tcl maintainers also lurk on the
647 OpenOCD mailing list.
648
649 @itemize @bullet
650 @item @b{Jim vs. Tcl}
651 @* Jim-Tcl is a stripped down version of the well known Tcl language,
652 which can be found here: @url{http://www.tcl.tk}. Jim-Tcl has far
653 fewer features. Jim-Tcl is several dozens of .C files and .H files and
654 implements the basic Tcl command set. In contrast: Tcl 8.6 is a
655 4.2 MB .zip file containing 1540 files.
656
657 @item @b{Missing Features}
658 @* Our practice has been: Add/clone the real Tcl feature if/when
659 needed. We welcome Jim-Tcl improvements, not bloat. Also there
660 are a large number of optional Jim-Tcl features that are not
661 enabled in OpenOCD.
662
663 @item @b{Scripts}
664 @* OpenOCD configuration scripts are Jim-Tcl Scripts. OpenOCD's
665 command interpreter today is a mixture of (newer)
666 Jim-Tcl commands, and the (older) original command interpreter.
667
668 @item @b{Commands}
669 @* At the OpenOCD telnet command line (or via the GDB monitor command) one
670 can type a Tcl for() loop, set variables, etc.
671 Some of the commands documented in this guide are implemented
672 as Tcl scripts, from a @file{startup.tcl} file internal to the server.
673
674 @item @b{Historical Note}
675 @* Jim-Tcl was introduced to OpenOCD in spring 2008. Fall 2010,
676 before OpenOCD 0.5 release, OpenOCD switched to using Jim-Tcl
677 as a Git submodule, which greatly simplified upgrading Jim-Tcl
678 to benefit from new features and bugfixes in Jim-Tcl.

690 Properly installing OpenOCD sets up your operating system to grant it access
691 to the debug adapters. On Linux, this usually involves installing a file
692 in @file{/etc/udev/rules.d,} so OpenOCD has permissions. An example rules file
693 that works for many common adapters is shipped with OpenOCD in the
694 @file{contrib} directory. MS-Windows needs
695 complex and confusing driver configuration for every peripheral. Such issues
696 are unique to each operating system, and are not detailed in this User's Guide.
697
698 Then later you will invoke the OpenOCD server, with various options to
699 tell it how each debug session should work.
700 The @option{--help} option shows:
701 @verbatim
702 bash$ openocd --help
703
704 --help | -h display this help
705 --version | -v display OpenOCD version
706 --file | -f use configuration file <name>
707 --search | -s dir to search for config files and scripts
708 --debug | -d set debug level to 3
709 | -d<n> set debug level to <level>
710 --log_output | -l redirect log output to file <name>
711 --command | -c run <command>
712 @end verbatim
713
714 If you don't give any @option{-f} or @option{-c} options,
715 OpenOCD tries to read the configuration file @file{openocd.cfg}.
716 To specify one or more different
717 configuration files, use @option{-f} options. For example:
718
719 @example
720 openocd -f config1.cfg -f config2.cfg -f config3.cfg
721 @end example
722
723 Configuration files and scripts are searched for in
724 @enumerate
725 @item the current directory,
726 @item any search dir specified on the command line using the @option{-s} option,
727 @item any search dir specified using the @command{add_script_search_dir} command,
728 @item a directory in the @env{OPENOCD_SCRIPTS} environment variable (if set),
729 @item @file{%APPDATA%/OpenOCD} (only on Windows),

732 @item @file{$HOME/.openocd},
733 @item the site wide script library @file{$pkgdatadir/site} and
734 @item the OpenOCD-supplied script library @file{$pkgdatadir/scripts}.
735 @end enumerate
736 The first found file with a matching file name will be used.
737
738 @quotation Note
739 Don't try to use configuration script names or paths which
740 include the "#" character. That character begins Tcl comments.

742
743 @section Simple setup, no customization
744
745 In the best case, you can use two scripts from one of the script
746 libraries, hook up your JTAG adapter, and start the server ... and
747 your JTAG setup will just work "out of the box". Always try to
748 start by reusing those scripts, but assume you'll need more
749 customization even if this works. @xref{OpenOCD Project Setup}.
750
751 If you find a script for your JTAG adapter, and for your board or
752 target, you may be able to hook up your JTAG adapter then start
753 the server with some variation of one of the following:
754
755 @example
756 openocd -f interface/ADAPTER.cfg -f board/MYBOARD.cfg
757 openocd -f interface/ftdi/ADAPTER.cfg -f board/MYBOARD.cfg
758 @end example
759
760 You might also need to configure which reset signals are present,
761 using @option{-c 'reset_config trst_and_srst'} or something similar.
762 If all goes well you'll see output something like
763
764 @example
765 Open On-Chip Debugger 0.4.0 (2010-01-14-15:06)
766 For bug reports, read
767 http://openocd.org/doc/doxygen/bugs.html
768 Info : JTAG tap: lm3s.cpu tap/device found: 0x3ba00477
769 (mfg: 0x23b, part: 0xba00, ver: 0x3)
770 @end example
771
772 Seeing that "tap/device found" message, and no warnings, means
773 the JTAG communication is working. That's a key milestone, but
774 you'll probably need more project-specific setup.
775
776 @section What OpenOCD does as it starts
777
778 OpenOCD starts by processing the configuration commands provided
779 on the command line or, if there were no @option{-c command} or
780 @option{-f file.cfg} options given, in @file{openocd.cfg}.
781 @xref{configurationstage,,Configuration Stage}.
782 At the end of the configuration stage it verifies the JTAG scan
783 chain defined using those commands; your configuration should
784 ensure that this always succeeds.
785 Normally, OpenOCD then starts running as a server.
786 Alternatively, commands may be used to terminate the configuration
787 stage early, perform work (such as updating some flash memory),
788 and then shut down without acting as a server.
789
790 Once OpenOCD starts running as a server, it waits for connections from
791 clients (Telnet, GDB, RPC) and processes the commands issued through
792 those channels.
793
794 If you are having problems, you can enable internal debug messages via
795 the @option{-d} option.
796
797 Also it is possible to interleave Jim-Tcl commands w/config scripts using the
798 @option{-c} command line switch.
799
800 To enable debug output (when reporting problems or working on OpenOCD
801 itself), use the @option{-d} command line switch. This sets the
802 @option{debug_level} to "3", outputting the most information,
803 including debug messages. The default setting is "2", outputting only
804 informational messages, warnings and errors. You can also change this
805 setting from within a telnet or gdb session using @command{debug_level<n>}
806 (@pxref{debuglevel,,debug_level}).
807
808 You can redirect all output from the server to a file using the
809 @option{-l <logfile>} switch.
810
811 Note! OpenOCD will launch the GDB & telnet server even if it can not
812 establish a connection with the target. In general, it is possible for
813 the JTAG controller to be unresponsive until the target is set up
814 correctly via e.g. GDB monitor commands in a GDB init script.
815
816 @node OpenOCD Project Setup
817 @chapter OpenOCD Project Setup
818
819 To use OpenOCD with your development projects, you need to do more than
820 just connect the JTAG adapter hardware (dongle) to your development board
821 and start the OpenOCD server.
822 You also need to configure your OpenOCD server so that it knows
823 about your adapter and board, and helps your work.
824 You may also want to connect OpenOCD to GDB, possibly
825 using Eclipse or some other GUI.
826
827 @section Hooking up the JTAG Adapter
828
829 Today's most common case is a dongle with a JTAG cable on one side
830 (such as a ribbon cable with a 10-pin or 20-pin IDC connector)
831 and a USB cable on the other.
832 Instead of USB, some dongles use Ethernet;
833 older ones may use a PC parallel port, or even a serial port.
834
835 @enumerate
836 @item @emph{Start with power to your target board turned off},
837 and nothing connected to your JTAG adapter.
838 If you're particularly paranoid, unplug power to the board.
839 It's important to have the ground signal properly set up,
840 unless you are using a JTAG adapter which provides
841 galvanic isolation between the target board and the
842 debugging host.
843
844 @item @emph{Be sure it's the right kind of JTAG connector.}
845 If your dongle has a 20-pin ARM connector, you need some kind
846 of adapter (or octopus, see below) to hook it up to
847 boards using 14-pin or 10-pin connectors ... or to 20-pin
848 connectors which don't use ARM's pinout.
849
850 In the same vein, make sure the voltage levels are compatible.
851 Not all JTAG adapters have the level shifters needed to work
852 with 1.2 Volt boards.
853
854 @item @emph{Be certain the cable is properly oriented} or you might
855 damage your board. In most cases there are only two possible
856 ways to connect the cable.
857 Connect the JTAG cable from your adapter to the board.
858 Be sure it's firmly connected.
859
860 In the best case, the connector is keyed to physically
861 prevent you from inserting it wrong.
862 This is most often done using a slot on the board's male connector
863 housing, which must match a key on the JTAG cable's female connector.
864 If there's no housing, then you must look carefully and
865 make sure pin 1 on the cable hooks up to pin 1 on the board.
866 Ribbon cables are frequently all grey except for a wire on one
867 edge, which is red. The red wire is pin 1.
868
869 Sometimes dongles provide cables where one end is an ``octopus'' of
870 color coded single-wire connectors, instead of a connector block.
871 These are great when converting from one JTAG pinout to another,
872 but are tedious to set up.
873 Use these with connector pinout diagrams to help you match up the
874 adapter signals to the right board pins.
875
876 @item @emph{Connect the adapter's other end} once the JTAG cable is connected.
877 A USB, parallel, or serial port connector will go to the host which
878 you are using to run OpenOCD.
879 For Ethernet, consult the documentation and your network administrator.
880
881 For USB-based JTAG adapters you have an easy sanity check at this point:
882 does the host operating system see the JTAG adapter? If you're running
883 Linux, try the @command{lsusb} command. If that host is an
884 MS-Windows host, you'll need to install a driver before OpenOCD works.
885
886 @item @emph{Connect the adapter's power supply, if needed.}
887 This step is primarily for non-USB adapters,
888 but sometimes USB adapters need extra power.
889
890 @item @emph{Power up the target board.}
891 Unless you just let the magic smoke escape,
892 you're now ready to set up the OpenOCD server
893 so you can use JTAG to work with that board.
894
895 @end enumerate
896

900
901 @section Project Directory
902
903 There are many ways you can configure OpenOCD and start it up.
904
905 A simple way to organize them all involves keeping a
906 single directory for your work with a given board.
907 When you start OpenOCD from that directory,
908 it searches there first for configuration files, scripts,
909 files accessed through semihosting,
910 and for code you upload to the target board.
911 It is also the natural place to write files,
912 such as log files and data you download from the board.
913
914 @section Configuration Basics
915
916 There are two basic ways of configuring OpenOCD, and
917 a variety of ways you can mix them.
918 Think of the difference as just being how you start the server:
919
920 @itemize
921 @item Many @option{-f file} or @option{-c command} options on the command line
922 @item No options, but a @dfn{user config file}
923 in the current directory named @file{openocd.cfg}
924 @end itemize
925
926 Here is an example @file{openocd.cfg} file for a setup
927 using a Signalyzer FT2232-based JTAG adapter to talk to
928 a board with an Atmel AT91SAM7X256 microcontroller:
929
930 @example
931 source [find interface/ftdi/signalyzer.cfg]
932
933 # GDB can also flash my flash!
934 gdb_memory_map enable
935 gdb_flash_program enable
936
937 source [find target/sam7x256.cfg]
938 @end example
939
940 Here is the command line equivalent of that configuration:
941
942 @example
943 openocd -f interface/ftdi/signalyzer.cfg \
944 -c "gdb_memory_map enable" \
945 -c "gdb_flash_program enable" \
946 -f target/sam7x256.cfg
947 @end example
948
949 You could wrap such long command lines in shell scripts,
950 each supporting a different development task.
951 One might re-flash the board with a specific firmware version.
952 Another might set up a particular debugging or run-time environment.
953
954 @quotation Important
955 At this writing (October 2009) the command line method has
956 problems with how it treats variables.
957 For example, after @option{-c "set VAR value"}, or doing the
958 same in a script, the variable @var{VAR} will have no value
959 that can be tested in a later script.
960 @end quotation
961
962 Here we will focus on the simpler solution: one user config
963 file, including basic configuration plus any TCL procedures
964 to simplify your work.
965
966 @section User Config Files
967 @cindex config file, user
968 @cindex user config file
969 @cindex config file, overview
970
971 A user configuration file ties together all the parts of a project
972 in one place.
973 One of the following will match your situation best:
974
975 @itemize
976 @item Ideally almost everything comes from configuration files
977 provided by someone else.
978 For example, OpenOCD distributes a @file{scripts} directory
979 (probably in @file{/usr/share/openocd/scripts} on Linux).
980 Board and tool vendors can provide these too, as can individual
981 user sites; the @option{-s} command line option lets you say
982 where to find these files. (@xref{Running}.)
983 The AT91SAM7X256 example above works this way.
984
985 Three main types of non-user configuration file each have their
986 own subdirectory in the @file{scripts} directory:
987
988 @enumerate
989 @item @b{interface} -- one for each different debug adapter;
990 @item @b{board} -- one for each different board
991 @item @b{target} -- the chips which integrate CPUs and other JTAG TAPs
992 @end enumerate
993
994 Best case: include just two files, and they handle everything else.
995 The first is an interface config file.
996 The second is board-specific, and it sets up the JTAG TAPs and
997 their GDB targets (by deferring to some @file{target.cfg} file),
998 declares all flash memory, and leaves you nothing to do except
999 meet your deadline:
1000
1001 @example
1002 source [find interface/olimex-jtag-tiny.cfg]
1003 source [find board/csb337.cfg]
1004 @end example
1005
1006 Boards with a single microcontroller often won't need more
1007 than the target config file, as in the AT91SAM7X256 example.
1008 That's because there is no external memory (flash, DDR RAM), and
1009 the board differences are encapsulated by application code.
1010
1011 @item Maybe you don't know yet what your board looks like to JTAG.
1012 Once you know the @file{interface.cfg} file to use, you may
1013 need help from OpenOCD to discover what's on the board.
1014 Once you find the JTAG TAPs, you can just search for appropriate
1015 target and board
1016 configuration files ... or write your own, from the bottom up.
1017 @xref{autoprobing,,Autoprobing}.

1019 @item You can often reuse some standard config files but
1020 need to write a few new ones, probably a @file{board.cfg} file.
1021 You will be using commands described later in this User's Guide,
1022 and working with the guidelines in the next chapter.
1023
1024 For example, there may be configuration files for your JTAG adapter
1025 and target chip, but you need a new board-specific config file
1026 giving access to your particular flash chips.
1027 Or you might need to write another target chip configuration file
1028 for a new chip built around the Cortex-M3 core.
1029
1030 @quotation Note
1031 When you write new configuration files, please submit
1032 them for inclusion in the next OpenOCD release.
1033 For example, a @file{board/newboard.cfg} file will help the
1034 next users of that board, and a @file{target/newcpu.cfg}
1035 will help support users of any board using that chip.
1036 @end quotation
1037
1038 @item
1039 You may need to write some C code.
1040 It may be as simple as supporting a new FT2232 or parport
1041 based adapter; a bit more involved, like a NAND or NOR flash
1042 controller driver; or a big piece of work like supporting
1043 a new chip architecture.
1044 @end itemize
1045
1046 Reuse the existing config files when you can.
1047 Look first in the @file{scripts/boards} area, then @file{scripts/targets}.
1048 You may find a board configuration that's a good example to follow.
1049
1050 When you write config files, separate the reusable parts
1051 (things every user of that interface, chip, or board needs)
1052 from ones specific to your environment and debugging approach.
1053 @itemize
1054
1055 @item
1056 For example, a @code{gdb-attach} event handler that invokes
1057 the @command{reset init} command will interfere with debugging
1058 early boot code, which performs some of the same actions
1059 that the @code{reset-init} event handler does.
1060
1061 @item
1062 Likewise, the @command{arm9 vector_catch} command (or
1063 @cindex vector_catch
1064 its siblings @command{xscale vector_catch}
1065 and @command{cortex_m vector_catch}) can be a time-saver
1066 during some debug sessions, but don't make everyone use that either.
1067 Keep those kinds of debugging aids in your user config file,
1068 along with messaging and tracing setup.
1069 (@xref{softwaredebugmessagesandtracing,,Software Debug Messages and Tracing}.)
1070
1071 @item
1072 You might need to override some defaults.
1073 For example, you might need to move, shrink, or back up the target's
1074 work area if your application needs much SRAM.
1075
1076 @item
1077 TCP/IP port configuration is another example of something which
1078 is environment-specific, and should only appear in
1079 a user config file. @xref{tcpipports,,TCP/IP Ports}.
1080 @end itemize
1081
1082 @section Project-Specific Utilities
1083
1084 A few project-specific utility
1085 routines may well speed up your work.
1086 Write them, and keep them in your project's user config file.
1087
1088 For example, if you are making a boot loader work on a
1089 board, it's nice to be able to debug the ``after it's
1090 loaded to RAM'' parts separately from the finicky early
1091 code which sets up the DDR RAM controller and clocks.
1092 A script like this one, or a more GDB-aware sibling,
1093 may help:
1094
1095 @example
1096 proc ramboot @{ @} @{
1097 # Reset, running the target's "reset-init" scripts
1098 # to initialize clocks and the DDR RAM controller.
1099 # Leave the CPU halted.
1100 reset init
1101
1102 # Load CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT version into DDR RAM.
1103 load_image u-boot.bin 0x20000000
1104
1105 # Start running.
1106 resume 0x20000000
1107 @}
1108 @end example
1109
1110 Then once that code is working you will need to make it
1111 boot from NOR flash; a different utility would help.
1112 Alternatively, some developers write to flash using GDB.
1113 (You might use a similar script if you're working with a flash
1114 based microcontroller application instead of a boot loader.)
1115
1116 @example
1117 proc newboot @{ @} @{
1118 # Reset, leaving the CPU halted. The "reset-init" event
1119 # proc gives faster access to the CPU and to NOR flash;
1120 # "reset halt" would be slower.
1121 reset init
1122
1123 # Write standard version of U-Boot into the first two
1124 # sectors of NOR flash ... the standard version should
1125 # do the same lowlevel init as "reset-init".
1126 flash protect 0 0 1 off
1127 flash erase_sector 0 0 1
1128 flash write_bank 0 u-boot.bin 0x0
1129 flash protect 0 0 1 on
1130
1131 # Reboot from scratch using that new boot loader.
1132 reset run
1133 @}
1134 @end example
1135
1136 You may need more complicated utility procedures when booting
1137 from NAND.
1138 That often involves an extra bootloader stage,
1139 running from on-chip SRAM to perform DDR RAM setup so it can load
1140 the main bootloader code (which won't fit into that SRAM).
1141
1142 Other helper scripts might be used to write production system images,
1143 involving considerably more than just a three stage bootloader.
1144
1145 @section Target Software Changes
1146
1147 Sometimes you may want to make some small changes to the software
1148 you're developing, to help make JTAG debugging work better.
1149 For example, in C or assembly language code you might
1150 use @code{#ifdef JTAG_DEBUG} (or its converse) around code
1151 handling issues like:
1152
1153 @itemize @bullet
1154
1155 @item @b{Watchdog Timers}...
1156 Watchdog timers are typically used to automatically reset systems if
1157 some application task doesn't periodically reset the timer. (The
1158 assumption is that the system has locked up if the task can't run.)
1159 When a JTAG debugger halts the system, that task won't be able to run
1160 and reset the timer ... potentially causing resets in the middle of
1161 your debug sessions.
1162
1163 It's rarely a good idea to disable such watchdogs, since their usage
1164 needs to be debugged just like all other parts of your firmware.
1165 That might however be your only option.
1166
1167 Look instead for chip-specific ways to stop the watchdog from counting
1168 while the system is in a debug halt state. It may be simplest to set
1169 that non-counting mode in your debugger startup scripts. You may however
1170 need a different approach when, for example, a motor could be physically
1171 damaged by firmware remaining inactive in a debug halt state. That might
1172 involve a type of firmware mode where that "non-counting" mode is disabled
1173 at the beginning then re-enabled at the end; a watchdog reset might fire
1174 and complicate the debug session, but hardware (or people) would be
1175 protected.@footnote{Note that many systems support a "monitor mode" debug
1176 that is a somewhat cleaner way to address such issues. You can think of
1177 it as only halting part of the system, maybe just one task,
1178 instead of the whole thing.
1179 At this writing, January 2010, OpenOCD based debugging does not support
1180 monitor mode debug, only "halt mode" debug.}
1181
1182 @item @b{ARM Semihosting}...
1183 @cindex ARM semihosting
1184 When linked with a special runtime library provided with many
1185 toolchains@footnote{See chapter 8 "Semihosting" in
1186 @uref{http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.dui0203i/DUI0203I_rvct_developer_guide.pdf,
1187 ARM DUI 0203I}, the "RealView Compilation Tools Developer Guide".
1188 The CodeSourcery EABI toolchain also includes a semihosting library.},
1189 your target code can use I/O facilities on the debug host. That library
1190 provides a small set of system calls which are handled by OpenOCD.
1191 It can let the debugger provide your system console and a file system,
1192 helping with early debugging or providing a more capable environment
1193 for sometimes-complex tasks like installing system firmware onto
1194 NAND or SPI flash.
1195
1196 @item @b{ARM Wait-For-Interrupt}...
1197 Many ARM chips synchronize the JTAG clock using the core clock.
1198 Low power states which stop that core clock thus prevent JTAG access.
1199 Idle loops in tasking environments often enter those low power states
1200 via the @code{WFI} instruction (or its coprocessor equivalent, before ARMv7).
1201
1202 You may want to @emph{disable that instruction} in source code,
1203 or otherwise prevent using that state,
1204 to ensure you can get JTAG access at any time.@footnote{As a more
1205 polite alternative, some processors have special debug-oriented
1206 registers which can be used to change various features including
1207 how the low power states are clocked while debugging.
1208 The STM32 DBGMCU_CR register is an example; at the cost of extra
1209 power consumption, JTAG can be used during low power states.}
1210 For example, the OpenOCD @command{halt} command may not
1211 work for an idle processor otherwise.
1212
1213 @item @b{Delay after reset}...
1214 Not all chips have good support for debugger access
1215 right after reset; many LPC2xxx chips have issues here.
1216 Similarly, applications that reconfigure pins used for
1217 JTAG access as they start will also block debugger access.
1218
1219 To work with boards like this, @emph{enable a short delay loop}
1220 the first thing after reset, before "real" startup activities.
1221 For example, one second's delay is usually more than enough
1222 time for a JTAG debugger to attach, so that
1223 early code execution can be debugged
1224 or firmware can be replaced.
1225
1226 @item @b{Debug Communications Channel (DCC)}...
1227 Some processors include mechanisms to send messages over JTAG.
1228 Many ARM cores support these, as do some cores from other vendors.
1229 (OpenOCD may be able to use this DCC internally, speeding up some
1230 operations like writing to memory.)
1231
1232 Your application may want to deliver various debugging messages
1233 over JTAG, by @emph{linking with a small library of code}
1234 provided with OpenOCD and using the utilities there to send
1235 various kinds of message.
1236 @xref{softwaredebugmessagesandtracing,,Software Debug Messages and Tracing}.
1237
1238 @end itemize
1239
1240 @section Target Hardware Setup
1241
1242 Chip vendors often provide software development boards which
1243 are highly configurable, so that they can support all options
1244 that product boards may require. @emph{Make sure that any
1245 jumpers or switches match the system configuration you are
1246 working with.}
1247
1248 Common issues include:
1249
1250 @itemize @bullet
1251
1252 @item @b{JTAG setup} ...
1253 Boards may support more than one JTAG configuration.
1254 Examples include jumpers controlling pullups versus pulldowns
1255 on the nTRST and/or nSRST signals, and choice of connectors
1256 (e.g. which of two headers on the base board,
1257 or one from a daughtercard).
1258 For some Texas Instruments boards, you may need to jumper the
1259 EMU0 and EMU1 signals (which OpenOCD won't currently control).
1260
1261 @item @b{Boot Modes} ...
1262 Complex chips often support multiple boot modes, controlled
1263 by external jumpers. Make sure this is set up correctly.
1264 For example many i.MX boards from NXP need to be jumpered
1265 to "ATX mode" to start booting using the on-chip ROM, when
1266 using second stage bootloader code stored in a NAND flash chip.
1267
1268 Such explicit configuration is common, and not limited to
1269 booting from NAND. You might also need to set jumpers to
1270 start booting using code loaded from an MMC/SD card; external
1271 SPI flash; Ethernet, UART, or USB links; NOR flash; OneNAND
1272 flash; some external host; or various other sources.
1273
1274
1275 @item @b{Memory Addressing} ...
1276 Boards which support multiple boot modes may also have jumpers
1277 to configure memory addressing. One board, for example, jumpers
1278 external chipselect 0 (used for booting) to address either
1279 a large SRAM (which must be pre-loaded via JTAG), NOR flash,
1280 or NAND flash. When it's jumpered to address NAND flash, that
1281 board must also be told to start booting from on-chip ROM.
1282
1283 Your @file{board.cfg} file may also need to be told this jumper
1284 configuration, so that it can know whether to declare NOR flash
1285 using @command{flash bank} or instead declare NAND flash with
1286 @command{nand device}; and likewise which probe to perform in
1287 its @code{reset-init} handler.
1288
1289 A closely related issue is bus width. Jumpers might need to
1290 distinguish between 8 bit or 16 bit bus access for the flash
1291 used to start booting.
1292
1293 @item @b{Peripheral Access} ...
1294 Development boards generally provide access to every peripheral
1295 on the chip, sometimes in multiple modes (such as by providing
1296 multiple audio codec chips).
1297 This interacts with software
1298 configuration of pin multiplexing, where for example a
1299 given pin may be routed either to the MMC/SD controller
1300 or the GPIO controller. It also often interacts with
1301 configuration jumpers. One jumper may be used to route
1302 signals to an MMC/SD card slot or an expansion bus (which
1303 might in turn affect booting); others might control which
1304 audio or video codecs are used.
1305
1306 @end itemize
1307
1308 Plus you should of course have @code{reset-init} event handlers
1309 which set up the hardware to match that jumper configuration.
1310 That includes in particular any oscillator or PLL used to clock
1311 the CPU, and any memory controllers needed to access external
1312 memory and peripherals. Without such handlers, you won't be
1313 able to access those resources without working target firmware
1314 which can do that setup ... this can be awkward when you're
1315 trying to debug that target firmware. Even if there's a ROM
1316 bootloader which handles a few issues, it rarely provides full
1317 access to all board-specific capabilities.
1318

1320 @node Config File Guidelines
1321 @chapter Config File Guidelines
1322
1323 This chapter is aimed at any user who needs to write a config file,
1324 including developers and integrators of OpenOCD and any user who
1325 needs to get a new board working smoothly.
1326 It provides guidelines for creating those files.
1327
1328 You should find the following directories under
1329 @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/scripts}, with config files maintained upstream. Use
1330 them as-is where you can; or as models for new files.
1331 @itemize @bullet
1332 @item @file{interface} ...
1333 These are for debug adapters. Files that specify configuration to use
1334 specific JTAG, SWD and other adapters go here.
1335 @item @file{board} ...
1336 Think Circuit Board, PWA, PCB, they go by many names. Board files
1337 contain initialization items that are specific to a board.
1338
1339 They reuse target configuration files, since the same
1340 microprocessor chips are used on many boards,
1341 but support for external parts varies widely. For
1342 example, the SDRAM initialization sequence for the board, or the type
1343 of external flash and what address it uses. Any initialization
1344 sequence to enable that external flash or SDRAM should be found in the
1345 board file. Boards may also contain multiple targets: two CPUs; or
1346 a CPU and an FPGA.
1347 @item @file{target} ...
1348 Think chip. The ``target'' directory represents the JTAG TAPs
1349 on a chip
1350 which OpenOCD should control, not a board. Two common types of targets
1351 are ARM chips and FPGA or CPLD chips.
1352 When a chip has multiple TAPs (maybe it has both ARM and DSP cores),
1353 the target config file defines all of them.
1354 @item @emph{more} ... browse for other library files which may be useful.
1355 For example, there are various generic and CPU-specific utilities.
1356 @end itemize
1357
1358 The @file{openocd.cfg} user config
1359 file may override features in any of the above files by
1360 setting variables before sourcing the target file, or by adding
1361 commands specific to their situation.
1362
1363 @section Interface Config Files
1364
1365 The user config file
1366 should be able to source one of these files with a command like this:
1367
1368 @example
1369 source [find interface/FOOBAR.cfg]
1370 @end example
1371
1372 A preconfigured interface file should exist for every debug adapter
1373 in use today with OpenOCD.
1374 That said, perhaps some of these config files
1375 have only been used by the developer who created it.
1376
1377 A separate chapter gives information about how to set these up.
1378 @xref{Debug Adapter Configuration}.
1379 Read the OpenOCD source code (and Developer's Guide)
1380 if you have a new kind of hardware interface
1381 and need to provide a driver for it.
1382
1383 @deffn {Command} {find} 'filename'
1384 Prints full path to @var{filename} according to OpenOCD search rules.
1385 @end deffn
1386
1387 @deffn {Command} {ocd_find} 'filename'
1388 Prints full path to @var{filename} according to OpenOCD search rules. This
1389 is a low level function used by the @command{find}. Usually you want
1390 to use @command{find}, instead.
1391 @end deffn
1392
1393 @section Board Config Files
1394 @cindex config file, board
1395 @cindex board config file
1396
1397 The user config file
1398 should be able to source one of these files with a command like this:
1399
1400 @example
1401 source [find board/FOOBAR.cfg]
1402 @end example
1403
1404 The point of a board config file is to package everything
1405 about a given board that user config files need to know.
1406 In summary the board files should contain (if present)
1407
1408 @enumerate
1409 @item One or more @command{source [find target/...cfg]} statements
1410 @item NOR flash configuration (@pxref{norconfiguration,,NOR Configuration})
1411 @item NAND flash configuration (@pxref{nandconfiguration,,NAND Configuration})
1412 @item Target @code{reset} handlers for SDRAM and I/O configuration
1413 @item JTAG adapter reset configuration (@pxref{Reset Configuration})
1414 @item All things that are not ``inside a chip''
1415 @end enumerate
1416
1417 Generic things inside target chips belong in target config files,
1418 not board config files. So for example a @code{reset-init} event
1419 handler should know board-specific oscillator and PLL parameters,
1420 which it passes to target-specific utility code.
1421
1422 The most complex task of a board config file is creating such a
1423 @code{reset-init} event handler.
1424 Define those handlers last, after you verify the rest of the board
1425 configuration works.
1426
1427 @subsection Communication Between Config files
1428
1429 In addition to target-specific utility code, another way that
1430 board and target config files communicate is by following a
1431 convention on how to use certain variables.
1432
1433 The full Tcl/Tk language supports ``namespaces'', but Jim-Tcl does not.
1434 Thus the rule we follow in OpenOCD is this: Variables that begin with
1435 a leading underscore are temporary in nature, and can be modified and
1436 used at will within a target configuration file.
1437
1438 Complex board config files can do the things like this,
1439 for a board with three chips:
1440
1441 @example
1442 # Chip #1: PXA270 for network side, big endian
1443 set CHIPNAME network
1444 set ENDIAN big
1445 source [find target/pxa270.cfg]
1446 # on return: _TARGETNAME = network.cpu
1447 # other commands can refer to the "network.cpu" target.
1448 $_TARGETNAME configure .... events for this CPU..
1449
1450 # Chip #2: PXA270 for video side, little endian
1451 set CHIPNAME video
1452 set ENDIAN little
1453 source [find target/pxa270.cfg]
1454 # on return: _TARGETNAME = video.cpu
1455 # other commands can refer to the "video.cpu" target.
1456 $_TARGETNAME configure .... events for this CPU..
1457
1458 # Chip #3: Xilinx FPGA for glue logic
1459 set CHIPNAME xilinx
1460 unset ENDIAN
1461 source [find target/spartan3.cfg]
1462 @end example
1463
1464 That example is oversimplified because it doesn't show any flash memory,
1465 or the @code{reset-init} event handlers to initialize external DRAM
1466 or (assuming it needs it) load a configuration into the FPGA.
1467 Such features are usually needed for low-level work with many boards,
1468 where ``low level'' implies that the board initialization software may
1469 not be working. (That's a common reason to need JTAG tools. Another
1470 is to enable working with microcontroller-based systems, which often
1471 have no debugging support except a JTAG connector.)
1472
1473 Target config files may also export utility functions to board and user
1474 config files. Such functions should use name prefixes, to help avoid
1475 naming collisions.
1476
1477 Board files could also accept input variables from user config files.
1478 For example, there might be a @code{J4_JUMPER} setting used to identify
1479 what kind of flash memory a development board is using, or how to set
1480 up other clocks and peripherals.
1481
1482 @subsection Variable Naming Convention
1483 @cindex variable names
1484
1485 Most boards have only one instance of a chip.
1486 However, it should be easy to create a board with more than
1487 one such chip (as shown above).
1488 Accordingly, we encourage these conventions for naming
1489 variables associated with different @file{target.cfg} files,
1490 to promote consistency and
1491 so that board files can override target defaults.
1492
1493 Inputs to target config files include:
1494
1495 @itemize @bullet
1496 @item @code{CHIPNAME} ...
1497 This gives a name to the overall chip, and is used as part of
1498 tap identifier dotted names.
1499 While the default is normally provided by the chip manufacturer,
1500 board files may need to distinguish between instances of a chip.
1501 @item @code{ENDIAN} ...
1502 By default @option{little} - although chips may hard-wire @option{big}.
1503 Chips that can't change endianness don't need to use this variable.
1504 @item @code{CPUTAPID} ...
1505 When OpenOCD examines the JTAG chain, it can be told verify the
1506 chips against the JTAG IDCODE register.
1507 The target file will hold one or more defaults, but sometimes the
1508 chip in a board will use a different ID (perhaps a newer revision).
1509 @end itemize
1510
1511 Outputs from target config files include:
1512
1513 @itemize @bullet
1514 @item @code{_TARGETNAME} ...
1515 By convention, this variable is created by the target configuration
1516 script. The board configuration file may make use of this variable to
1517 configure things like a ``reset init'' script, or other things
1518 specific to that board and that target.
1519 If the chip has 2 targets, the names are @code{_TARGETNAME0},
1520 @code{_TARGETNAME1}, ... etc.
1521 @end itemize
1522
1523 @subsection The reset-init Event Handler
1524 @cindex event, reset-init
1525 @cindex reset-init handler
1526
1527 Board config files run in the OpenOCD configuration stage;
1528 they can't use TAPs or targets, since they haven't been
1529 fully set up yet.
1530 This means you can't write memory or access chip registers;
1531 you can't even verify that a flash chip is present.
1532 That's done later in event handlers, of which the target @code{reset-init}
1533 handler is one of the most important.
1534
1535 Except on microcontrollers, the basic job of @code{reset-init} event
1536 handlers is setting up flash and DRAM, as normally handled by boot loaders.
1537 Microcontrollers rarely use boot loaders; they run right out of their
1538 on-chip flash and SRAM memory. But they may want to use one of these
1539 handlers too, if just for developer convenience.
1540
1541 @quotation Note
1542 Because this is so very board-specific, and chip-specific, no examples
1543 are included here.
1544 Instead, look at the board config files distributed with OpenOCD.
1545 If you have a boot loader, its source code will help; so will
1546 configuration files for other JTAG tools
1547 (@pxref{translatingconfigurationfiles,,Translating Configuration Files}).
1548 @end quotation
1549
1550 Some of this code could probably be shared between different boards.
1551 For example, setting up a DRAM controller often doesn't differ by
1552 much except the bus width (16 bits or 32?) and memory timings, so a
1553 reusable TCL procedure loaded by the @file{target.cfg} file might take
1554 those as parameters.
1555 Similarly with oscillator, PLL, and clock setup;
1556 and disabling the watchdog.
1557 Structure the code cleanly, and provide comments to help
1558 the next developer doing such work.
1559 (@emph{You might be that next person} trying to reuse init code!)
1560
1561 The last thing normally done in a @code{reset-init} handler is probing
1562 whatever flash memory was configured. For most chips that needs to be
1563 done while the associated target is halted, either because JTAG memory
1564 access uses the CPU or to prevent conflicting CPU access.
1565
1566 @subsection JTAG Clock Rate
1567
1568 Before your @code{reset-init} handler has set up
1569 the PLLs and clocking, you may need to run with
1570 a low JTAG clock rate.
1571 @xref{jtagspeed,,JTAG Speed}.
1572 Then you'd increase that rate after your handler has
1573 made it possible to use the faster JTAG clock.
1574 When the initial low speed is board-specific, for example
1575 because it depends on a board-specific oscillator speed, then
1576 you should probably set it up in the board config file;
1577 if it's target-specific, it belongs in the target config file.
1578
1579 For most ARM-based processors the fastest JTAG clock@footnote{A FAQ
1580 @uref{http://www.arm.com/support/faqdev/4170.html} gives details.}
1581 is one sixth of the CPU clock; or one eighth for ARM11 cores.
1582 Consult chip documentation to determine the peak JTAG clock rate,
1583 which might be less than that.
1584
1585 @quotation Warning
1586 On most ARMs, JTAG clock detection is coupled to the core clock, so
1587 software using a @option{wait for interrupt} operation blocks JTAG access.
1588 Adaptive clocking provides a partial workaround, but a more complete
1589 solution just avoids using that instruction with JTAG debuggers.
1590 @end quotation
1591
1592 If both the chip and the board support adaptive clocking,
1593 use the @command{jtag_rclk}
1594 command, in case your board is used with JTAG adapter which
1595 also supports it. Otherwise use @command{adapter speed}.
1596 Set the slow rate at the beginning of the reset sequence,
1597 and the faster rate as soon as the clocks are at full speed.
1598
1599 @anchor{theinitboardprocedure}
1600 @subsection The init_board procedure
1601 @cindex init_board procedure
1602
1603 The concept of @code{init_board} procedure is very similar to @code{init_targets}
1604 (@xref{theinittargetsprocedure,,The init_targets procedure}.) - it's a replacement of ``linear''
1605 configuration scripts. This procedure is meant to be executed when OpenOCD enters run stage
1606 (@xref{enteringtherunstage,,Entering the Run Stage},) after @code{init_targets}. The idea to have
1607 separate @code{init_targets} and @code{init_board} procedures is to allow the first one to configure
1608 everything target specific (internal flash, internal RAM, etc.) and the second one to configure
1609 everything board specific (reset signals, chip frequency, reset-init event handler, external memory, etc.).
1610 Additionally ``linear'' board config file will most likely fail when target config file uses
1611 @code{init_targets} scheme (``linear'' script is executed before @code{init} and @code{init_targets} - after),
1612 so separating these two configuration stages is very convenient, as the easiest way to overcome this
1613 problem is to convert board config file to use @code{init_board} procedure. Board config scripts don't
1614 need to override @code{init_targets} defined in target config files when they only need to add some specifics.
1615
1616 Just as @code{init_targets}, the @code{init_board} procedure can be overridden by ``next level'' script (which sources
1617 the original), allowing greater code reuse.
1618
1619 @example
1620 ### board_file.cfg ###
1621
1622 # source target file that does most of the config in init_targets
1623 source [find target/target.cfg]
1624
1625 proc enable_fast_clock @{@} @{
1626 # enables fast on-board clock source
1627 # configures the chip to use it
1628 @}
1629
1630 # initialize only board specifics - reset, clock, adapter frequency
1631 proc init_board @{@} @{
1632 reset_config trst_and_srst trst_pulls_srst
1633
1634 $_TARGETNAME configure -event reset-start @{
1635 adapter speed 100
1636 @}
1637
1638 $_TARGETNAME configure -event reset-init @{
1639 enable_fast_clock
1640 adapter speed 10000
1641 @}
1642 @}
1643 @end example
1644
1645 @section Target Config Files
1646 @cindex config file, target
1647 @cindex target config file
1648
1649 Board config files communicate with target config files using
1650 naming conventions as described above, and may source one or
1651 more target config files like this:
1652
1653 @example
1654 source [find target/FOOBAR.cfg]
1655 @end example
1656
1657 The point of a target config file is to package everything
1658 about a given chip that board config files need to know.
1659 In summary the target files should contain
1660
1661 @enumerate
1662 @item Set defaults
1663 @item Add TAPs to the scan chain
1664 @item Add CPU targets (includes GDB support)
1665 @item CPU/Chip/CPU-Core specific features
1666 @item On-Chip flash
1667 @end enumerate
1668
1669 As a rule of thumb, a target file sets up only one chip.
1670 For a microcontroller, that will often include a single TAP,
1671 which is a CPU needing a GDB target, and its on-chip flash.
1672
1673 More complex chips may include multiple TAPs, and the target
1674 config file may need to define them all before OpenOCD
1675 can talk to the chip.
1676 For example, some phone chips have JTAG scan chains that include
1677 an ARM core for operating system use, a DSP,
1678 another ARM core embedded in an image processing engine,
1679 and other processing engines.
1680
1681 @subsection Default Value Boiler Plate Code
1682
1683 All target configuration files should start with code like this,
1684 letting board config files express environment-specific
1685 differences in how things should be set up.
1686
1687 @example
1688 # Boards may override chip names, perhaps based on role,
1689 # but the default should match what the vendor uses
1690 if @{ [info exists CHIPNAME] @} @{
1691 set _CHIPNAME $CHIPNAME
1692 @} else @{
1693 set _CHIPNAME sam7x256
1694 @}
1695
1696 # ONLY use ENDIAN with targets that can change it.
1697 if @{ [info exists ENDIAN] @} @{
1698 set _ENDIAN $ENDIAN
1699 @} else @{
1700 set _ENDIAN little
1701 @}
1702
1703 # TAP identifiers may change as chips mature, for example with
1704 # new revision fields (the "3" here). Pick a good default; you
1705 # can pass several such identifiers to the "jtag newtap" command.
1706 if @{ [info exists CPUTAPID ] @} @{
1707 set _CPUTAPID $CPUTAPID
1708 @} else @{
1709 set _CPUTAPID 0x3f0f0f0f
1710 @}
1711 @end example
1712 @c but 0x3f0f0f0f is for an str73x part ...
1713
1714 @emph{Remember:} Board config files may include multiple target
1715 config files, or the same target file multiple times
1716 (changing at least @code{CHIPNAME}).
1717
1718 Likewise, the target configuration file should define
1719 @code{_TARGETNAME} (or @code{_TARGETNAME0} etc) and
1720 use it later on when defining debug targets:
1721
1722 @example
1723 set _TARGETNAME $_CHIPNAME.cpu
1724 target create $_TARGETNAME arm7tdmi -chain-position $_TARGETNAME
1725 @end example
1726
1727 @subsection Adding TAPs to the Scan Chain
1728 After the ``defaults'' are set up,
1729 add the TAPs on each chip to the JTAG scan chain.
1730 @xref{TAP Declaration}, and the naming convention
1731 for taps.
1732
1733 In the simplest case the chip has only one TAP,
1734 probably for a CPU or FPGA.
1735 The config file for the Atmel AT91SAM7X256
1736 looks (in part) like this:
1737
1738 @example
1739 jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME cpu -irlen 4 -expected-id $_CPUTAPID
1740 @end example
1741
1742 A board with two such at91sam7 chips would be able
1743 to source such a config file twice, with different
1744 values for @code{CHIPNAME}, so
1745 it adds a different TAP each time.
1746
1747 If there are nonzero @option{-expected-id} values,
1748 OpenOCD attempts to verify the actual tap id against those values.
1749 It will issue error messages if there is mismatch, which
1750 can help to pinpoint problems in OpenOCD configurations.
1751
1752 @example
1753 JTAG tap: sam7x256.cpu tap/device found: 0x3f0f0f0f
1754 (Manufacturer: 0x787, Part: 0xf0f0, Version: 0x3)
1755 ERROR: Tap: sam7x256.cpu - Expected id: 0x12345678, Got: 0x3f0f0f0f
1756 ERROR: expected: mfg: 0x33c, part: 0x2345, ver: 0x1
1757 ERROR: got: mfg: 0x787, part: 0xf0f0, ver: 0x3
1758 @end example
1759
1760 There are more complex examples too, with chips that have
1761 multiple TAPs. Ones worth looking at include:
1762
1763 @itemize
1764 @item @file{target/omap3530.cfg} -- with disabled ARM and DSP,
1765 plus a JRC to enable them
1766 @item @file{target/str912.cfg} -- with flash, CPU, and boundary scan
1767 @item @file{target/ti_dm355.cfg} -- with ETM, ARM, and JRC (this JRC
1768 is not currently used)
1769 @end itemize
1770
1771 @subsection Add CPU targets
1772
1773 After adding a TAP for a CPU, you should set it up so that
1774 GDB and other commands can use it.
1775 @xref{CPU Configuration}.
1776 For the at91sam7 example above, the command can look like this;
1777 note that @code{$_ENDIAN} is not needed, since OpenOCD defaults
1778 to little endian, and this chip doesn't support changing that.
1779
1780 @example
1781 set _TARGETNAME $_CHIPNAME.cpu
1782 target create $_TARGETNAME arm7tdmi -chain-position $_TARGETNAME
1783 @end example
1784
1785 Work areas are small RAM areas associated with CPU targets.
1786 They are used by OpenOCD to speed up downloads,
1787 and to download small snippets of code to program flash chips.
1788 If the chip includes a form of ``on-chip-ram'' - and many do - define
1789 a work area if you can.
1790 Again using the at91sam7 as an example, this can look like:
1791
1792 @example
1793 $_TARGETNAME configure -work-area-phys 0x00200000 \
1794 -work-area-size 0x4000 -work-area-backup 0
1795 @end example
1796
1797 @subsection Define CPU targets working in SMP
1798 @cindex SMP
1799 After setting targets, you can define a list of targets working in SMP.
1800
1801 @example
1802 set _TARGETNAME_1 $_CHIPNAME.cpu1
1803 set _TARGETNAME_2 $_CHIPNAME.cpu2
1804 target create $_TARGETNAME_1 cortex_a -chain-position $_CHIPNAME.dap \
1805 -coreid 0 -dbgbase $_DAP_DBG1
1806 target create $_TARGETNAME_2 cortex_a -chain-position $_CHIPNAME.dap \
1807 -coreid 1 -dbgbase $_DAP_DBG2
1808 #define 2 targets working in smp.
1809 target smp $_CHIPNAME.cpu2 $_CHIPNAME.cpu1
1810 @end example
1811 In the above example on cortex_a, 2 cpus are working in SMP.
1812 In SMP only one GDB instance is created and :
1813 @itemize @bullet
1814 @item a set of hardware breakpoint sets the same breakpoint on all targets in the list.
1815 @item halt command triggers the halt of all targets in the list.
1816 @item resume command triggers the write context and the restart of all targets in the list.
1817 @item following a breakpoint: the target stopped by the breakpoint is displayed to the GDB session.
1818 @item dedicated GDB serial protocol packets are implemented for switching/retrieving the target
1819 displayed by the GDB session @pxref{usingopenocdsmpwithgdb,,Using OpenOCD SMP with GDB}.
1820 @end itemize
1821
1822 The SMP behaviour can be disabled/enabled dynamically. On cortex_a following
1823 command have been implemented.
1824 @itemize @bullet
1825 @item cortex_a smp on : enable SMP mode, behaviour is as described above.
1826 @item cortex_a smp off : disable SMP mode, the current target is the one
1827 displayed in the GDB session, only this target is now controlled by GDB
1828 session. This behaviour is useful during system boot up.
1829 @item cortex_a smp : display current SMP mode.
1830 @item cortex_a smp_gdb : display/fix the core id displayed in GDB session see
1831 following example.
1832 @end itemize
1833
1834 @example
1835 >cortex_a smp_gdb
1836 gdb coreid 0 -> -1
1837 #0 : coreid 0 is displayed to GDB ,
1838 #-> -1 : next resume triggers a real resume
1839 > cortex_a smp_gdb 1
1840 gdb coreid 0 -> 1
1841 #0 :coreid 0 is displayed to GDB ,
1842 #->1 : next resume displays coreid 1 to GDB
1843 > resume
1844 > cortex_a smp_gdb
1845 gdb coreid 1 -> 1
1846 #1 :coreid 1 is displayed to GDB ,
1847 #->1 : next resume displays coreid 1 to GDB
1848 > cortex_a smp_gdb -1
1849 gdb coreid 1 -> -1
1850 #1 :coreid 1 is displayed to GDB,
1851 #->-1 : next resume triggers a real resume
1852 @end example
1853
1854
1855 @subsection Chip Reset Setup
1856
1857 As a rule, you should put the @command{reset_config} command
1858 into the board file. Most things you think you know about a
1859 chip can be tweaked by the board.
1860
1861 Some chips have specific ways the TRST and SRST signals are
1862 managed. In the unusual case that these are @emph{chip specific}
1863 and can never be changed by board wiring, they could go here.
1864 For example, some chips can't support JTAG debugging without
1865 both signals.
1866
1867 Provide a @code{reset-assert} event handler if you can.
1868 Such a handler uses JTAG operations to reset the target,
1869 letting this target config be used in systems which don't
1870 provide the optional SRST signal, or on systems where you
1871 don't want to reset all targets at once.
1872 Such a handler might write to chip registers to force a reset,
1873 use a JRC to do that (preferable -- the target may be wedged!),
1874 or force a watchdog timer to trigger.
1875 (For Cortex-M targets, this is not necessary. The target
1876 driver knows how to use trigger an NVIC reset when SRST is
1877 not available.)
1878
1879 Some chips need special attention during reset handling if
1880 they're going to be used with JTAG.
1881 An example might be needing to send some commands right
1882 after the target's TAP has been reset, providing a
1883 @code{reset-deassert-post} event handler that writes a chip
1884 register to report that JTAG debugging is being done.
1885 Another would be reconfiguring the watchdog so that it stops
1886 counting while the core is halted in the debugger.
1887
1888 JTAG clocking constraints often change during reset, and in
1889 some cases target config files (rather than board config files)
1890 are the right places to handle some of those issues.
1891 For example, immediately after reset most chips run using a
1892 slower clock than they will use later.
1893 That means that after reset (and potentially, as OpenOCD
1894 first starts up) they must use a slower JTAG clock rate
1895 than they will use later.
1896 @xref{jtagspeed,,JTAG Speed}.
1897
1898 @quotation Important
1899 When you are debugging code that runs right after chip
1900 reset, getting these issues right is critical.
1901 In particular, if you see intermittent failures when
1902 OpenOCD verifies the scan chain after reset,
1903 look at how you are setting up JTAG clocking.
1904 @end quotation
1905
1906 @anchor{theinittargetsprocedure}
1907 @subsection The init_targets procedure
1908 @cindex init_targets procedure
1909
1910 Target config files can either be ``linear'' (script executed line-by-line when parsed in
1911 configuration stage, @xref{configurationstage,,Configuration Stage},) or they can contain a special
1912 procedure called @code{init_targets}, which will be executed when entering run stage
1913 (after parsing all config files or after @code{init} command, @xref{enteringtherunstage,,Entering the Run Stage}.)
1914 Such procedure can be overridden by ``next level'' script (which sources the original).
1915 This concept facilitates code reuse when basic target config files provide generic configuration
1916 procedures and @code{init_targets} procedure, which can then be sourced and enhanced or changed in
1917 a ``more specific'' target config file. This is not possible with ``linear'' config scripts,
1918 because sourcing them executes every initialization commands they provide.
1919
1920 @example
1921 ### generic_file.cfg ###
1922
1923 proc setup_my_chip @{chip_name flash_size ram_size@} @{
1924 # basic initialization procedure ...
1925 @}
1926
1927 proc init_targets @{@} @{
1928 # initializes generic chip with 4kB of flash and 1kB of RAM
1929 setup_my_chip MY_GENERIC_CHIP 4096 1024
1930 @}
1931
1932 ### specific_file.cfg ###

1937 # initializes specific chip with 128kB of flash and 64kB of RAM
1938 setup_my_chip MY_CHIP_WITH_128K_FLASH_64KB_RAM 131072 65536
1939 @}
1940 @end example
1941
1942 The easiest way to convert ``linear'' config files to @code{init_targets} version is to
1943 enclose every line of ``code'' (i.e. not @code{source} commands, procedures, etc.) in this procedure.
1944
1945 For an example of this scheme see LPC2000 target config files.
1946
1947 The @code{init_boards} procedure is a similar concept concerning board config files
1948 (@xref{theinitboardprocedure,,The init_board procedure}.)
1949
1950 @subsection The init_target_events procedure
1951 @cindex init_target_events procedure
1952
1953 A special procedure called @code{init_target_events} is run just after
1954 @code{init_targets} (@xref{theinittargetsprocedure,,The init_targets
1955 procedure}.) and before @code{init_board}
1956 (@xref{theinitboardprocedure,,The init_board procedure}.) It is used
1957 to set up default target events for the targets that do not have those
1958 events already assigned.
1959
1960 @subsection ARM Core Specific Hacks
1961
1962 If the chip has a DCC, enable it. If the chip is an ARM9 with some
1963 special high speed download features - enable it.
1964
1965 If present, the MMU, the MPU and the CACHE should be disabled.
1966
1967 Some ARM cores are equipped with trace support, which permits
1968 examination of the instruction and data bus activity. Trace
1969 activity is controlled through an ``Embedded Trace Module'' (ETM)
1970 on one of the core's scan chains. The ETM emits voluminous data
1971 through a ``trace port''. (@xref{armhardwaretracing,,ARM Hardware Tracing}.)
1972 If you are using an external trace port,
1973 configure it in your board config file.
1974 If you are using an on-chip ``Embedded Trace Buffer'' (ETB),
1975 configure it in your target config file.
1976
1977 @example
1978 etm config $_TARGETNAME 16 normal full etb
1979 etb config $_TARGETNAME $_CHIPNAME.etb
1980 @end example

1984 This applies @b{ONLY TO MICROCONTROLLERS} that have flash built in.

2001 @cindex translation
2002 If you have a configuration file for another hardware debugger
2003 or toolset (Abatron, BDI2000, BDI3000, CCS,
2004 Lauterbach, SEGGER, Macraigor, etc.), translating
2005 it into OpenOCD syntax is often quite straightforward. The most tricky
2006 part of creating a configuration script is oftentimes the reset init
2007 sequence where e.g. PLLs, DRAM and the like is set up.
2008
2009 One trick that you can use when translating is to write small
2010 Tcl procedures to translate the syntax into OpenOCD syntax. This
2011 can avoid manual translation errors and make it easier to
2012 convert other scripts later on.

2042 The commands here are commonly found in the openocd.cfg file and are
2043 used to specify what TCP/IP ports are used, and how GDB should be
2044 supported.

2047 @section Configuration Stage
2048 @cindex configuration stage
2049 @cindex config command
2050
2051 When the OpenOCD server process starts up, it enters a
2052 @emph{configuration stage} which is the only time that
2053 certain commands, @emph{configuration commands}, may be issued.
2054 Normally, configuration commands are only available
2055 inside startup scripts.
2056
2057 In this manual, the definition of a configuration command is
2058 presented as a @emph{Config Command}, not as a @emph{Command}
2059 which may be issued interactively.
2060 The runtime @command{help} command also highlights configuration
2061 commands, and those which may be issued at any time.
2062
2063 Those configuration commands include declaration of TAPs,
2064 flash banks,
2065 the interface used for JTAG communication,
2066 and other basic setup.
2067 The server must leave the configuration stage before it
2068 may access or activate TAPs.
2069 After it leaves this stage, configuration commands may no
2070 longer be issued.
2071
2072 @deffn {Command} {command mode} [command_name]
2073 Returns the command modes allowed by a command: 'any', 'config', or
2074 'exec'. If no command is specified, returns the current command
2075 mode. Returns 'unknown' if an unknown command is given. Command can be
2076 multiple tokens. (command valid any time)
2077
2078 In this document, the modes are described as stages, 'config' and
2079 'exec' mode correspond configuration stage and run stage. 'any' means
2080 the command can be executed in either
2081 stages. @xref{configurationstage,,Configuration Stage}, and
2082 @xref{enteringtherunstage,,Entering the Run Stage}.
2083 @end deffn
2084
2085 @anchor{enteringtherunstage}
2086 @section Entering the Run Stage
2087
2088 The first thing OpenOCD does after leaving the configuration
2089 stage is to verify that it can talk to the scan chain
2090 (list of TAPs) which has been configured.
2091 It will warn if it doesn't find TAPs it expects to find,
2092 or finds TAPs that aren't supposed to be there.
2093 You should see no errors at this point.
2094 If you see errors, resolve them by correcting the
2095 commands you used to configure the server.
2096 Common errors include using an initial JTAG speed that's too
2097 fast, and not providing the right IDCODE values for the TAPs
2098 on the scan chain.
2099
2100 Once OpenOCD has entered the run stage, a number of commands
2101 become available.
2102 A number of these relate to the debug targets you may have declared.
2103 For example, the @command{mww} command will not be available until
2104 a target has been successfully instantiated.
2105 If you want to use those commands, you may need to force
2106 entry to the run stage.
2107
2108 @deffn {Config Command} {init}
2109 This command terminates the configuration stage and
2110 enters the run stage. This helps when you need to have
2111 the startup scripts manage tasks such as resetting the target,
2112 programming flash, etc. To reset the CPU upon startup, add "init" and
2113 "reset" at the end of the config script or at the end of the OpenOCD
2114 command line using the @option{-c} command line switch.
2115
2116 If this command does not appear in any startup/configuration file
2117 OpenOCD executes the command for you after processing all
2118 configuration files and/or command line options.
2119
2120 @b{NOTE:} This command normally occurs near the end of your
2121 openocd.cfg file to force OpenOCD to ``initialize'' and make the
2122 targets ready. For example: If your openocd.cfg file needs to
2123 read/write memory on your target, @command{init} must occur before
2124 the memory read/write commands. This includes @command{nand probe}.
2125
2126 @command{init} calls the following internal OpenOCD commands to initialize
2127 corresponding subsystems:
2128 @deffn {Config Command} {target init}
2129 @deffnx {Command} {transport init}
2130 @deffnx {Command} {dap init}
2131 @deffnx {Config Command} {flash init}
2132 @deffnx {Config Command} {nand init}
2133 @deffnx {Config Command} {pld init}
2134 @deffnx {Command} {tpiu init}
2135 @end deffn
2136
2137 At last, @command{init} executes all the commands that are specified in
2138 the TCL list @var{post_init_commands}. The commands are executed in the
2139 same order they occupy in the list. If one of the commands fails, then
2140 the error is propagated and OpenOCD fails too.
2141 @example
2142 lappend post_init_commands @{echo "OpenOCD successfully initialized."@}
2143 lappend post_init_commands @{echo "Have fun with OpenOCD !"@}
2144 @end example
2145 @end deffn
2146
2147 @deffn {Config Command} {noinit}
2148 Prevent OpenOCD from implicit @command{init} call at the end of startup.
2149 Allows issuing configuration commands over telnet or Tcl connection.
2150 When you are done with configuration use @command{init} to enter
2151 the run stage.
2152 @end deffn
2153
2154 @deffn {Overridable Procedure} {jtag_init}
2155 This is invoked at server startup to verify that it can talk
2156 to the scan chain (list of TAPs) which has been configured.
2157
2158 The default implementation first tries @command{jtag arp_init},
2159 which uses only a lightweight JTAG reset before examining the
2160 scan chain.
2161 If that fails, it tries again, using a harder reset
2162 from the overridable procedure @command{init_reset}.
2163
2164 Implementations must have verified the JTAG scan chain before
2165 they return.
2166 This is done by calling @command{jtag arp_init}
2167 (or @command{jtag arp_init-reset}).

2171 @section TCP/IP Ports
2172 @cindex TCP port
2173 @cindex server
2174 @cindex port
2175 @cindex security
2176 The OpenOCD server accepts remote commands in several syntaxes.
2177 Each syntax uses a different TCP/IP port, which you may specify
2178 only during configuration (before those ports are opened).
2179
2180 For reasons including security, you may wish to prevent remote
2181 access using one or more of these ports.
2182 In such cases, just specify the relevant port number as "disabled".
2183 If you disable all access through TCP/IP, you will need to
2184 use the command line @option{-pipe} option.
2185
2186 You can request the operating system to select one of the available
2187 ports for the server by specifying the relevant port number as "0".
2188
2189 @anchor{gdb_port}
2190 @deffn {Config Command} {gdb_port} [number]
2191 @cindex GDB server
2192 Normally gdb listens to a TCP/IP port, but GDB can also
2193 communicate via pipes(stdin/out or named pipes). The name
2194 "gdb_port" stuck because it covers probably more than 90% of
2195 the normal use cases.
2196
2197 No arguments reports GDB port. "pipe" means listen to stdin
2198 output to stdout, an integer is base port number, "disabled"
2199 disables the gdb server.
2200
2201 When using "pipe", also use log_output to redirect the log
2202 output to a file so as not to flood the stdin/out pipes.
2203
2204 Any other string is interpreted as named pipe to listen to.
2205 Output pipe is the same name as input pipe, but with 'o' appended,
2206 e.g. /var/gdb, /var/gdbo.
2207
2208 The GDB port for the first target will be the base port, the
2209 second target will listen on gdb_port + 1, and so on.
2210 When not specified during the configuration stage,
2211 the port @var{number} defaults to 3333.
2212 When @var{number} is not a numeric value, incrementing it to compute
2213 the next port number does not work. In this case, specify the proper
2214 @var{number} for each target by using the option @code{-gdb-port} of the
2215 commands @command{target create} or @command{$target_name configure}.
2216 @xref{gdbportoverride,,option -gdb-port}.
2217
2218 Note: when using "gdb_port pipe", increasing the default remote timeout in
2219 gdb (with 'set remotetimeout') is recommended. An insufficient timeout may
2220 cause initialization to fail with "Unknown remote qXfer reply: OK".

2302 @section Event Polling
2303
2304 Hardware debuggers are parts of asynchronous systems,
2305 where significant events can happen at any time.
2306 The OpenOCD server needs to detect some of these events,
2307 so it can report them to through TCL command line
2308 or to GDB.
2309
2310 Examples of such events include:
2311
2312 @itemize
2313 @item One of the targets can stop running ... maybe it triggers
2314 a code breakpoint or data watchpoint, or halts itself.
2315 @item Messages may be sent over ``debug message'' channels ... many
2316 targets support such messages sent over JTAG,
2317 for receipt by the person debugging or tools.
2318 @item Loss of power ... some adapters can detect these events.
2319 @item Resets not issued through JTAG ... such reset sources
2320 can include button presses or other system hardware, sometimes
2321 including the target itself (perhaps through a watchdog).
2322 @item Debug instrumentation sometimes supports event triggering
2323 such as ``trace buffer full'' (so it can quickly be emptied)
2324 or other signals (to correlate with code behavior).
2325 @end itemize
2326
2327 None of those events are signaled through standard JTAG signals.
2328 However, most conventions for JTAG connectors include voltage
2329 level and system reset (SRST) signal detection.
2330 Some connectors also include instrumentation signals, which
2331 can imply events when those signals are inputs.
2332
2333 In general, OpenOCD needs to periodically check for those events,
2334 either by looking at the status of signals on the JTAG connector
2335 or by sending synchronous ``tell me your status'' JTAG requests
2336 to the various active targets.
2337 There is a command to manage and monitor that polling,
2338 which is normally done in the background.
2339
2340 @deffn {Command} {poll} [@option{on}|@option{off}]
2341 Poll the current target for its current state.
2342 (Also, @pxref{targetcurstate,,target curstate}.)
2343 If that target is in debug mode, architecture
2344 specific information about the current state is printed.
2345 An optional parameter
2346 allows background polling to be enabled and disabled.
2347
2348 You could use this from the TCL command shell, or
2349 from GDB using @command{monitor poll} command.
2350 Leave background polling enabled while you're using GDB.
2351 @example

2353 background polling: on
2354 target state: halted

2368 Correctly installing OpenOCD includes making your operating system give
2369 OpenOCD access to debug adapters. Once that has been done, Tcl commands
2370 are used to select which one is used, and to configure how it is used.
2371
2372 @quotation Note
2373 Because OpenOCD started out with a focus purely on JTAG, you may find
2374 places where it wrongly presumes JTAG is the only transport protocol
2375 in use. Be aware that recent versions of OpenOCD are removing that
2376 limitation. JTAG remains more functional than most other transports.
2377 Other transports do not support boundary scan operations, or may be
2378 specific to a given chip vendor. Some might be usable only for
2379 programming flash memory, instead of also for debugging.
2380 @end quotation
2381
2382 Debug Adapters/Interfaces/Dongles are normally configured
2383 through commands in an interface configuration

2391 These commands tell
2392 OpenOCD what type of JTAG adapter you have, and how to talk to it.

2395 @example
2396 # jlink interface

2448
2449 @end itemize
2450
2451 Some adapters require that the GPIO chip number is set in addition to the GPIO
2452 number. The configuration options enable signals to be defined as active-high or
2453 active-low. The output drive mode can be set to push-pull, open-drain or
2454 open-source. Most adapters will have to emulate open-drain or open-source drive
2455 modes by switching between an input and output. Input and output signals can be
2456 instructed to use a pull-up or pull-down resistor, assuming it is supported by
2457 the adaptor driver and hardware. The initial state of outputs may also be set,
2458 "active" state means 1 for active-high outputs and 0 for active-low outputs.
2459 Bidirectional signals may also be initialized as an input. If the swdio signal
2460 is buffered the buffer direction can be controlled with the swdio_dir signal;
2461 the active state means that the buffer should be set as an output with respect
2462 to the adapter. The command options are cumulative with later commands able to
2463 override settings defined by earlier ones. The two commands @command{gpio led 7
2464 -active-high} and @command{gpio led -chip 1 -active-low} sent sequentially are
2465 equivalent to issuing the single command @command{gpio led 7 -chip 1
2466 -active-low}. It is not permissible to set the drive mode or initial state for
2467 signals which are inputs. The drive mode for the srst and trst signals must be
2468 set with the @command{adapter reset_config} command. It is not permissible to
2469 set the initial state of swdio_dir as it is derived from the initial state of
2470 swdio. The command @command{adapter gpio} prints the current configuration for
2471 all GPIOs while the command @command{adapter gpio gpio_name} prints the current
2472 configuration for gpio_name. Not all adapters support this generic GPIO mapping,
2473 some require their own commands to define the GPIOs used. Adapters that support
2474 the generic mapping may not support all of the listed options.

2595 @deffn {Interface Driver} {ftdi}
2596 This driver is for adapters using the MPSSE (Multi-Protocol Synchronous Serial
2597 Engine) mode built into many FTDI chips, such as the FT2232, FT4232 and FT232H.
2598
2599 The driver is using libusb-1.0 in asynchronous mode to talk to the FTDI device,
2600 bypassing intermediate libraries like libftdi.
2601
2602 Support for new FTDI based adapters can be added completely through
2603 configuration files, without the need to patch and rebuild OpenOCD.
2604
2605 The driver uses a signal abstraction to enable Tcl configuration files to
2606 define outputs for one or several FTDI GPIO. These outputs can then be
2607 controlled using the @command{ftdi set_signal} command. Special signal names
2608 are reserved for nTRST, nSRST and LED (for blink) so that they, if defined,
2609 will be used for their customary purpose. Inputs can be read using the
2610 @command{ftdi get_signal} command.
2611
2612 To support SWD, a signal named SWD_EN must be defined. It is set to 1 when the
2613 SWD protocol is selected. When set, the adapter should route the SWDIO pin to
2614 the data input. An SWDIO_OE signal, if defined, will be set to 1 or 0 as
2615 required by the protocol, to tell the adapter to drive the data output onto
2616 the SWDIO pin or keep the SWDIO pin Hi-Z, respectively.
2617
2618 Depending on the type of buffer attached to the FTDI GPIO, the outputs have to
2619 be controlled differently. In order to support tristateable signals such as
2620 nSRST, both a data GPIO and an output-enable GPIO can be specified for each
2621 signal. The following output buffer configurations are supported:
2622
2623 @itemize @minus
2624 @item Push-pull with one FTDI output as (non-)inverted data line
2625 @item Open drain with one FTDI output as (non-)inverted output-enable
2626 @item Tristate with one FTDI output as (non-)inverted data line and another
2627 FTDI output as (non-)inverted output-enable
2628 @item Unbuffered, using the FTDI GPIO as a tristate output directly by
2629 switching data and direction as necessary
2630 @end itemize
2631
2632 These interfaces have several commands, used to configure the driver
2633 before initializing the JTAG scan chain:
2634
2635 @deffn {Config Command} {ftdi vid_pid} [vid pid]+
2636 The vendor ID and product ID of the adapter. Up to eight
2637 [@var{vid}, @var{pid}] pairs may be given, e.g.
2638 @example
2639 ftdi vid_pid 0x0403 0xcff8 0x15ba 0x0003
2640 @end example
2641 @end deffn
2642
2643 @deffn {Config Command} {ftdi device_desc} description
2644 Provides the USB device description (the @emph{iProduct string})
2645 of the adapter. If not specified, the device description is ignored
2646 during device selection.
2647 @end deffn
2648
2649 @deffn {Config Command} {ftdi channel} channel
2650 Selects the channel of the FTDI device to use for MPSSE operations. Most
2651 adapters use the default, channel 0, but there are exceptions.
2652 @end deffn
2653
2654 @deffn {Config Command} {ftdi layout_init} data direction
2655 Specifies the initial values of the FTDI GPIO data and direction registers.
2656 Each value is a 16-bit number corresponding to the concatenation of the high
2657 and low FTDI GPIO registers. The values should be selected based on the
2658 schematics of the adapter, such that all signals are set to safe levels with
2659 minimal impact on the target system. Avoid floating inputs, conflicting outputs
2660 and initially asserted reset signals.
2661 @end deffn
2662
2663 @deffn {Command} {ftdi layout_signal} name [@option{-data}|@option{-ndata} data_mask] [@option{-input}|@option{-ninput} input_mask] [@option{-oe}|@option{-noe} oe_mask] [@option{-alias}|@option{-nalias} name]
2664 Creates a signal with the specified @var{name}, controlled by one or more FTDI
2665 GPIO pins via a range of possible buffer connections. The masks are FTDI GPIO
2666 register bitmasks to tell the driver the connection and type of the output
2667 buffer driving the respective signal. @var{data_mask} is the bitmask for the
2668 pin(s) connected to the data input of the output buffer. @option{-ndata} is
2669 used with inverting data inputs and @option{-data} with non-inverting inputs.
2670 The @option{-oe} (or @option{-noe}) option tells where the output-enable (or
2671 not-output-enable) input to the output buffer is connected. The options
2672 @option{-input} and @option{-ninput} specify the bitmask for pins to be read
2673 with the method @command{ftdi get_signal}.
2674
2675 Both @var{data_mask} and @var{oe_mask} need not be specified. For example, a
2676 simple open-collector transistor driver would be specified with @option{-oe}
2677 only. In that case the signal can only be set to drive low or to Hi-Z and the
2678 driver will complain if the signal is set to drive high. Which means that if
2679 it's a reset signal, @command{reset_config} must be specified as
2680 @option{srst_open_drain}, not @option{srst_push_pull}.
2681
2682 A special case is provided when @option{-data} and @option{-oe} is set to the
2683 same bitmask. Then the FTDI pin is considered being connected straight to the
2684 target without any buffer. The FTDI pin is then switched between output and
2685 input as necessary to provide the full set of low, high and Hi-Z
2686 characteristics. In all other cases, the pins specified in a signal definition
2687 are always driven by the FTDI.
2688
2689 If @option{-alias} or @option{-nalias} is used, the signal is created
2690 identical (or with data inverted) to an already specified signal
2691 @var{name}.

2710 Due to signal propagation delays, sampling TDO on rising TCK can become quite
2711 peculiar at high JTAG clock speeds. However, FTDI chips offer a possibility to sample
2712 TDO on falling edge of TCK. With some board/adapter configurations, this may increase
2713 stability at higher JTAG clocks.

2989 @deffn {Interface Driver} {kitprog}
2990 This driver is for Cypress Semiconductor's KitProg adapters. The KitProg is an
2991 SWD-only adapter that is designed to be used with Cypress's PSoC and PRoC device
2992 families, but it is possible to use it with some other devices. If you are using
2993 this adapter with a PSoC or a PRoC, you may need to add
2994 @command{kitprog_init_acquire_psoc} or @command{kitprog acquire_psoc} to your
2995 configuration script.
2996
2997 Note that this driver is for the proprietary KitProg protocol, not the CMSIS-DAP
2998 mode introduced in firmware 2.14. If the KitProg is in CMSIS-DAP mode, it cannot
2999 be used with this driver, and must either be used with the cmsis-dap driver or
3000 switched back to KitProg mode. See the Cypress KitProg User Guide for
3001 instructions on how to switch KitProg modes.
3002
3003 Known limitations:
3004 @itemize @bullet
3005 @item The frequency of SWCLK cannot be configured, and varies between 1.6 MHz
3006 and 2.7 MHz.
3007 @item For firmware versions below 2.14, "JTAG to SWD" sequences are replaced by
3008 "SWD line reset" in the driver. This is for two reasons. First, the KitProg does
3009 not support sending arbitrary SWD sequences, and only firmware 2.14 and later
3010 implement both "JTAG to SWD" and "SWD line reset" in firmware. Earlier firmware
3011 versions only implement "SWD line reset". Second, due to a firmware quirk, an
3012 SWD sequence must be sent after every target reset in order to re-establish
3013 communications with the target.
3014 @item Due in part to the limitation above, KitProg devices with firmware below
3015 version 2.14 will need to use @command{kitprog_init_acquire_psoc} in order to
3016 communicate with PSoC 5LP devices. This is because, assuming debug is not
3017 disabled on the PSoC, the PSoC 5LP needs its JTAG interface switched to SWD
3018 mode before communication can begin, but prior to firmware 2.14, "JTAG to SWD"
3019 could only be sent with an acquisition sequence.

3076 @deffn {Config Command} {parport port} [port_number]
3077 Display either the address of the I/O port
3078 (default: 0x378 for LPT1) or the number of the @file{/dev/parport} device.
3079 If a parameter is provided, first switch to use that port.
3080 This is a write-once setting.
3081
3082 When using PPDEV to access the parallel port, use the number of the parallel port:
3083 @option{parport port 0} (the default). If @option{parport port 0x378} is specified
3084 you may encounter a problem.
3085 @end deffn
3086
3087 @deffn {Config Command} {parport toggling_time} [nanoseconds]
3088 Displays how many nanoseconds the hardware needs to toggle TCK;
3089 the parport driver uses this value to obey the
3090 @command{adapter speed} configuration.
3091 When the optional @var{nanoseconds} parameter is given,
3092 that setting is changed before displaying the current value.
3093
3094 The default setting should work reasonably well on commodity PC hardware.
3095 However, you may want to calibrate for your specific hardware.
3096 @quotation Tip
3097 To measure the toggling time with a logic analyzer or a digital storage
3098 oscilloscope, follow the procedure below:
3099 @example
3100 > parport toggling_time 1000
3101 > adapter speed 500
3102 @end example
3103 This sets the maximum JTAG clock speed of the hardware, but
3104 the actual speed probably deviates from the requested 500 kHz.
3105 Now, measure the time between the two closest spaced TCK transitions.
3106 You can use @command{runtest 1000} or something similar to generate a
3107 large set of samples.
3108 Update the setting to match your measurement:
3109 @example
3110 > parport toggling_time <measured nanoseconds>
3111 @end example
3112 Now the clock speed will be a better match for @command{adapter speed}
3113 command given in OpenOCD scripts and event handlers.
3114
3115 You can do something similar with many digital multimeters, but note
3116 that you'll probably need to run the clock continuously for several
3117 seconds before it decides what clock rate to show. Adjust the
3118 toggling time up or down until the measured clock rate is a good
3119 match with the rate you specified in the @command{adapter speed} command;
3120 be conservative.

3577
3578 For maximum performance, the driver accesses the debug registers
3579 directly over the SoC memory map. The memory mapping requires read

3644 @section Transport Configuration
3645 @cindex Transport
3646 As noted earlier, depending on the version of OpenOCD you use,
3647 and the debug adapter you are using,
3648 several transports may be available to
3649 communicate with debug targets (or perhaps to program flash memory).
3650 @deffn {Command} {transport list}
3651 displays the names of the transports supported by this
3652 version of OpenOCD.
3653 @end deffn
3654
3655 @deffn {Command} {transport select} @option{transport_name}
3656 Select which of the supported transports to use in this OpenOCD session.
3657
3658 When invoked with @option{transport_name}, attempts to select the named
3659 transport. The transport must be supported by the debug adapter
3660 hardware and by the version of OpenOCD you are using (including the
3661 adapter's driver).
3662
3663 If no transport has been selected and no @option{transport_name} is
3664 provided, @command{transport select} auto-selects the first transport
3665 supported by the debug adapter.
3666
3667 @command{transport select} always returns the name of the session's selected
3668 transport, if any.
3669 @end deffn
3670
3671 @subsection JTAG Transport
3672 @cindex JTAG
3673 JTAG is the original transport supported by OpenOCD, and most
3674 of the OpenOCD commands support it.
3675 JTAG transports expose a chain of one or more Test Access Points (TAPs),
3676 each of which must be explicitly declared.
3677 JTAG supports both debugging and boundary scan testing.
3678 Flash programming support is built on top of debug support.
3679
3680 JTAG transport is selected with the command @command{transport select
3681 jtag}. Unless your adapter uses either @ref{hla_interface,the hla interface
3682 driver} (in which case the command is @command{transport select hla_jtag})
3683 or @ref{st_link_dap_interface,the st-link interface driver} (in which case
3684 the command is @command{transport select dapdirect_jtag}).
3685
3686 @subsection SWD Transport
3687 @cindex SWD
3688 @cindex Serial Wire Debug
3689 SWD (Serial Wire Debug) is an ARM-specific transport which exposes one
3690 Debug Access Point (DAP, which must be explicitly declared.
3691 (SWD uses fewer signal wires than JTAG.)
3692 SWD is debug-oriented, and does not support boundary scan testing.
3693 Flash programming support is built on top of debug support.
3694 (Some processors support both JTAG and SWD.)
3695
3696 SWD transport is selected with the command @command{transport select
3697 swd}. Unless your adapter uses either @ref{hla_interface,the hla interface
3698 driver} (in which case the command is @command{transport select hla_swd})
3699 or @ref{st_link_dap_interface,the st-link interface driver} (in which case
3700 the command is @command{transport select dapdirect_swd}).
3701
3702 @deffn {Config Command} {swd newdap} ...
3703 Declares a single DAP which uses SWD transport.
3704 Parameters are currently the same as "jtag newtap" but this is
3705 expected to change.
3706 @end deffn
3707
3708 @cindex SWD multi-drop
3709 The newer SWD devices (SW-DP v2 or SWJ-DP v2) support the multi-drop extension
3710 of SWD protocol: two or more devices can be connected to one SWD adapter.
3711 SWD transport works in multi-drop mode if @ref{dap_create,DAP} is configured
3712 with both @code{-dp-id} and @code{-instance-id} parameters regardless how many
3713 DAPs are created.
3714
3715 Not all adapters and adapter drivers support SWD multi-drop. Only the following
3716 adapter drivers are SWD multi-drop capable:
3717 cmsis_dap (use an adapter with CMSIS-DAP version 2.0), ftdi, all bitbang based.

3722 The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a general purpose transport
3723 which uses four wire signaling. Some processors use it as part of a

3727 @subsection SWIM Transport
3728 @cindex SWIM
3729 @cindex Single Wire Interface Module
3730 The Single Wire Interface Module (SWIM) is a low-pin-count debug protocol used
3731 by the STMicroelectronics MCU family STM8 and documented in the
3732 @uref{https://www.st.com/resource/en/user_manual/cd00173911.pdf, User Manual UM470}.
3733
3734 SWIM does not support boundary scan testing nor multiple cores.
3735
3736 The SWIM transport is selected with the command @command{transport select swim}.
3737
3738 The concept of TAPs does not fit in the protocol since SWIM does not implement
3739 a scan chain. Nevertheless, the current SW model of OpenOCD requires defining a
3740 virtual SWIM TAP through the command @command{swim newtap basename tap_type}.
3741 The TAP definition must precede the target definition command
3742 @command{target create target_name stm8 -chain-position basename.tap_type}.
3743
3744 @anchor{jtagspeed}
3745 @section JTAG Speed
3746 JTAG clock setup is part of system setup.
3747 It @emph{does not belong with interface setup} since any interface
3748 only knows a few of the constraints for the JTAG clock speed.
3749 Sometimes the JTAG speed is
3750 changed during the target initialization process: (1) slow at
3751 reset, (2) program the CPU clocks, (3) run fast.
3752 Both the "slow" and "fast" clock rates are functions of the
3753 oscillators used, the chip, the board design, and sometimes
3754 power management software that may be active.
3755
3756 The speed used during reset, and the scan chain verification which
3757 follows reset, can be adjusted using a @code{reset-start}
3758 target event handler.
3759 It can then be reconfigured to a faster speed by a
3760 @code{reset-init} target event handler after it reprograms those
3761 CPU clocks, or manually (if something else, such as a boot loader,
3762 sets up those clocks).
3763 @xref{targetevents,,Target Events}.
3764 When the initial low JTAG speed is a chip characteristic, perhaps
3765 because of a required oscillator speed, provide such a handler
3766 in the target config file.
3767 When that speed is a function of a board-specific characteristic
3768 such as which speed oscillator is used, it belongs in the board
3769 config file instead.
3770 In both cases it's safest to also set the initial JTAG clock rate
3771 to that same slow speed, so that OpenOCD never starts up using a
3772 clock speed that's faster than the scan chain can support.
3773
3774 @example
3775 jtag_rclk 3000
3776 $_TARGET.cpu configure -event reset-start @{ jtag_rclk 3000 @}
3777 @end example
3778
3779 If your system supports adaptive clocking (RTCK), configuring
3780 JTAG to use that is probably the most robust approach.
3781 However, it introduces delays to synchronize clocks; so it
3782 may not be the fastest solution.
3783
3784 @b{NOTE:} Script writers should consider using @command{jtag_rclk}
3785 instead of @command{adapter speed}, but only for (ARM) cores and boards
3786 which support adaptive clocking.
3787
3788 @deffn {Command} {adapter speed} max_speed_kHz
3789 A non-zero speed is in KHZ. Hence: 3000 is 3mhz.
3790 JTAG interfaces usually support a limited number of
3791 speeds. The speed actually used won't be faster
3792 than the speed specified.
3793
3794 Chip data sheets generally include a top JTAG clock rate.
3795 The actual rate is often a function of a CPU core clock,
3796 and is normally less than that peak rate.
3797 For example, most ARM cores accept at most one sixth of the CPU clock.
3798
3799 Speed 0 (khz) selects RTCK method.
3800 @xref{faqrtck,,FAQ RTCK}.
3801 If your system uses RTCK, you won't need to change the
3802 JTAG clocking after setup.
3803 Not all interfaces, boards, or targets support ``rtck''.
3804 If the interface device can not
3805 support it, an error is returned when you try to use RTCK.

3822 @cindex Reset Configuration
3823
3824 Every system configuration may require a different reset
3825 configuration. This can also be quite confusing.
3826 Resets also interact with @var{reset-init} event handlers,
3827 which do things like setting up clocks and DRAM, and
3828 JTAG clock rates. (@xref{jtagspeed,,JTAG Speed}.)
3829 They can also interact with JTAG routers.
3830 Please see the various board files for examples.
3831
3832 @quotation Note
3833 To maintainers and integrators:
3834 Reset configuration touches several things at once.
3835 Normally the board configuration file
3836 should define it and assume that the JTAG adapter supports
3837 everything that's wired up to the board's JTAG connector.
3838
3839 However, the target configuration file could also make note
3840 of something the silicon vendor has done inside the chip,
3841 which will be true for most (or all) boards using that chip.
3842 And when the JTAG adapter doesn't support everything, the
3843 user configuration file will need to override parts of
3844 the reset configuration provided by other files.
3845 @end quotation
3846
3847 @section Types of Reset
3848
3849 There are many kinds of reset possible through JTAG, but
3850 they may not all work with a given board and adapter.
3851 That's part of why reset configuration can be error prone.
3852
3853 @itemize @bullet
3854 @item
3855 @emph{System Reset} ... the @emph{SRST} hardware signal
3856 resets all chips connected to the JTAG adapter, such as processors,
3857 power management chips, and I/O controllers. Normally resets triggered
3858 with this signal behave exactly like pressing a RESET button.
3859 @item
3860 @emph{JTAG TAP Reset} ... the @emph{TRST} hardware signal resets
3861 just the TAP controllers connected to the JTAG adapter.
3862 Such resets should not be visible to the rest of the system; resetting a
3863 device's TAP controller just puts that controller into a known state.
3864 @item
3865 @emph{Emulation Reset} ... many devices can be reset through JTAG
3866 commands. These resets are often distinguishable from system
3867 resets, either explicitly (a "reset reason" register says so)
3868 or implicitly (not all parts of the chip get reset).
3869 @item
3870 @emph{Other Resets} ... system-on-chip devices often support
3871 several other types of reset.
3872 You may need to arrange that a watchdog timer stops
3873 while debugging, preventing a watchdog reset.
3874 There may be individual module resets.
3875 @end itemize
3876
3877 In the best case, OpenOCD can hold SRST, then reset
3878 the TAPs via TRST and send commands through JTAG to halt the
3879 CPU at the reset vector before the 1st instruction is executed.
3880 Then when it finally releases the SRST signal, the system is
3881 halted under debugger control before any code has executed.
3882 This is the behavior required to support the @command{reset halt}
3883 and @command{reset init} commands; after @command{reset init} a
3884 board-specific script might do things like setting up DRAM.

3886
3887 @anchor{srstandtrstissues}
3888 @section SRST and TRST Issues
3889
3890 Because SRST and TRST are hardware signals, they can have a
3891 variety of system-specific constraints. Some of the most
3892 common issues are:
3893
3894 @itemize @bullet
3895
3896 @item @emph{Signal not available} ... Some boards don't wire
3897 SRST or TRST to the JTAG connector. Some JTAG adapters don't
3898 support such signals even if they are wired up.
3899 Use the @command{reset_config} @var{signals} options to say
3900 when either of those signals is not connected.
3901 When SRST is not available, your code might not be able to rely
3902 on controllers having been fully reset during code startup.
3903 Missing TRST is not a problem, since JTAG-level resets can
3904 be triggered using with TMS signaling.
3905
3906 @item @emph{Signals shorted} ... Sometimes a chip, board, or
3907 adapter will connect SRST to TRST, instead of keeping them separate.
3908 Use the @command{reset_config} @var{combination} options to say
3909 when those signals aren't properly independent.
3910
3911 @item @emph{Timing} ... Reset circuitry like a resistor/capacitor
3912 delay circuit, reset supervisor, or on-chip features can extend
3913 the effect of a JTAG adapter's reset for some time after the adapter
3914 stops issuing the reset. For example, there may be chip or board
3915 requirements that all reset pulses last for at least a
3916 certain amount of time; and reset buttons commonly have
3917 hardware debouncing.
3918 Use the @command{adapter srst delay} and @command{jtag_ntrst_delay}
3919 commands to say when extra delays are needed.
3920
3921 @item @emph{Drive type} ... Reset lines often have a pullup
3922 resistor, letting the JTAG interface treat them as open-drain
3923 signals. But that's not a requirement, so the adapter may need
3924 to use push/pull output drivers.
3925 Also, with weak pullups it may be advisable to drive
3926 signals to both levels (push/pull) to minimize rise times.
3927 Use the @command{reset_config} @var{trst_type} and
3928 @var{srst_type} parameters to say how to drive reset signals.
3929
3930 @item @emph{Special initialization} ... Targets sometimes need
3931 special JTAG initialization sequences to handle chip-specific
3932 issues (not limited to errata).
3933 For example, certain JTAG commands might need to be issued while
3934 the system as a whole is in a reset state (SRST active)
3935 but the JTAG scan chain is usable (TRST inactive).
3936 Many systems treat combined assertion of SRST and TRST as a
3937 trigger for a harder reset than SRST alone.
3938 Such custom reset handling is discussed later in this chapter.
3939 @end itemize
3940
3941 There can also be other issues.
3942 Some devices don't fully conform to the JTAG specifications.
3943 Trivial system-specific differences are common, such as
3944 SRST and TRST using slightly different names.
3945 There are also vendors who distribute key JTAG documentation for
3946 their chips only to developers who have signed a Non-Disclosure
3947 Agreement (NDA).
3948
3949 Sometimes there are chip-specific extensions like a requirement to use
3950 the normally-optional TRST signal (precluding use of JTAG adapters which
3951 don't pass TRST through), or needing extra steps to complete a TAP reset.
3952
3953 In short, SRST and especially TRST handling may be very finicky,
3954 needing to cope with both architecture and board specific constraints.

3957
3958 @deffn {Command} {adapter srst pulse_width} milliseconds
3959 Minimum amount of time (in milliseconds) OpenOCD should wait
3960 after asserting nSRST (active-low system reset) before
3961 allowing it to be deasserted.
3962 @end deffn
3963
3964 @deffn {Command} {adapter srst delay} milliseconds
3965 How long (in milliseconds) OpenOCD should wait after deasserting
3966 nSRST (active-low system reset) before starting new JTAG operations.
3967 When a board has a reset button connected to SRST line it will
3968 probably have hardware debouncing, implying you should use this.
3969 @end deffn
3970
3971 @deffn {Command} {jtag_ntrst_assert_width} milliseconds
3972 Minimum amount of time (in milliseconds) OpenOCD should wait

3974 allowing it to be deasserted.
3975 @end deffn
3976
3977 @deffn {Command} {jtag_ntrst_delay} milliseconds
3978 How long (in milliseconds) OpenOCD should wait after deasserting
3979 nTRST (active-low JTAG TAP reset) before starting new JTAG operations.
3980 @end deffn
3981
3982 @anchor{reset_config}
3983 @deffn {Command} {reset_config} mode_flag ...
3984 This command displays or modifies the reset configuration
3985 of your combination of JTAG board and target in target
3986 configuration scripts.
3987
3988 Information earlier in this section describes the kind of problems
3989 the command is intended to address (@pxref{srstandtrstissues,,SRST and TRST Issues}).
3990 As a rule this command belongs only in board config files,
3991 describing issues like @emph{board doesn't connect TRST};
3992 or in user config files, addressing limitations derived
3993 from a particular combination of interface and board.
3994 (An unlikely example would be using a TRST-only adapter
3995 with a board that only wires up SRST.)
3996
3997 The @var{mode_flag} options can be specified in any order, but only one
3998 of each type -- @var{signals}, @var{combination}, @var{gates},
3999 @var{trst_type}, @var{srst_type} and @var{connect_type}
4000 -- may be specified at a time.
4001 If you don't provide a new value for a given type, its previous
4002 value (perhaps the default) is unchanged.
4003 For example, this means that you don't need to say anything at all about
4004 TRST just to declare that if the JTAG adapter should want to drive SRST,
4005 it must explicitly be driven high (@option{srst_push_pull}).
4006
4007 @itemize
4008 @item
4009 @var{signals} can specify which of the reset signals are connected.
4010 For example, If the JTAG interface provides SRST, but the board doesn't
4011 connect that signal properly, then OpenOCD can't use it.
4012 Possible values are @option{none} (the default), @option{trst_only},
4013 @option{srst_only} and @option{trst_and_srst}.
4014
4015 @quotation Tip
4016 If your board provides SRST and/or TRST through the JTAG connector,
4017 you must declare that so those signals can be used.
4018 @end quotation
4019
4020 @item
4021 The @var{combination} is an optional value specifying broken reset
4022 signal implementations.
4023 The default behaviour if no option given is @option{separate},
4024 indicating everything behaves normally.
4025 @option{srst_pulls_trst} states that the
4026 test logic is reset together with the reset of the system (e.g. NXP
4027 LPC2000, "broken" board layout), @option{trst_pulls_srst} says that
4028 the system is reset together with the test logic (only hypothetical, I
4029 haven't seen hardware with such a bug, and can be worked around).
4030 @option{combined} implies both @option{srst_pulls_trst} and
4031 @option{trst_pulls_srst}.
4032
4033 @item
4034 The @var{gates} tokens control flags that describe some cases where
4035 JTAG may be unavailable during reset.
4036 @option{srst_gates_jtag} (default)
4037 indicates that asserting SRST gates the
4038 JTAG clock. This means that no communication can happen on JTAG
4039 while SRST is asserted.
4040 Its converse is @option{srst_nogate}, indicating that JTAG commands
4041 can safely be issued while SRST is active.
4042
4043 @item
4044 The @var{connect_type} tokens control flags that describe some cases where
4045 SRST is asserted while connecting to the target. @option{srst_nogate}
4046 is required to use this option.
4047 @option{connect_deassert_srst} (default)
4048 indicates that SRST will not be asserted while connecting to the target.
4049 Its converse is @option{connect_assert_srst}, indicating that SRST will
4050 be asserted before any target connection.
4051 Only some targets support this feature, STM32 and STR9 are examples.
4052 This feature is useful if you are unable to connect to your target due
4053 to incorrect options byte config or illegal program execution.
4054 @end itemize
4055
4056 The optional @var{trst_type} and @var{srst_type} parameters allow the
4057 driver mode of each reset line to be specified. These values only affect
4058 JTAG interfaces with support for different driver modes, like the Amontec
4059 JTAGkey and JTAG Accelerator. Also, they are necessarily ignored if the
4060 relevant signal (TRST or SRST) is not connected.
4061
4062 @itemize
4063 @item
4064 Possible @var{trst_type} driver modes for the test reset signal (TRST)
4065 are the default @option{trst_push_pull}, and @option{trst_open_drain}.
4066 Most boards connect this signal to a pulldown, so the JTAG TAPs
4067 never leave reset unless they are hooked up to a JTAG adapter.
4068
4069 @item
4070 Possible @var{srst_type} driver modes for the system reset signal (SRST)
4071 are the default @option{srst_open_drain}, and @option{srst_push_pull}.
4072 Most boards connect this signal to a pullup, and allow the
4073 signal to be pulled low by various events including system
4074 power-up and pressing a reset button.

4076 @end deffn
4077
4078 @section Custom Reset Handling
4079 @cindex events
4080
4081 OpenOCD has several ways to help support the various reset
4082 mechanisms provided by chip and board vendors.
4083 The commands shown in the previous section give standard parameters.
4084 There are also @emph{event handlers} associated with TAPs or Targets.
4085 Those handlers are Tcl procedures you can provide, which are invoked
4086 at particular points in the reset sequence.
4087
4088 @emph{When SRST is not an option} you must set
4089 up a @code{reset-assert} event handler for your target.
4090 For example, some JTAG adapters don't include the SRST signal;
4091 and some boards have multiple targets, and you won't always
4092 want to reset everything at once.
4093
4094 After configuring those mechanisms, you might still
4095 find your board doesn't start up or reset correctly.
4096 For example, maybe it needs a slightly different sequence
4097 of SRST and/or TRST manipulations, because of quirks that
4098 the @command{reset_config} mechanism doesn't address;
4099 or asserting both might trigger a stronger reset, which
4100 needs special attention.
4101
4102 Experiment with lower level operations, such as
4103 @command{adapter assert}, @command{adapter deassert}
4104 and the @command{jtag arp_*} operations shown here,
4105 to find a sequence of operations that works.
4106 @xref{JTAG Commands}.
4107 When you find a working sequence, it can be used to override
4108 @command{jtag_init}, which fires during OpenOCD startup
4109 (@pxref{configurationstage,,Configuration Stage});
4110 or @command{init_reset}, which fires during reset processing.
4111
4112 You might also want to provide some project-specific reset
4113 schemes. For example, on a multi-target board the standard
4114 @command{reset} command would reset all targets, but you
4115 may need the ability to reset only one target at time and
4116 thus want to avoid using the board-wide SRST signal.
4117
4118 @deffn {Overridable Procedure} {init_reset} mode
4119 This is invoked near the beginning of the @command{reset} command,
4120 usually to provide as much of a cold (power-up) reset as practical.
4121 By default it is also invoked from @command{jtag_init} if
4122 the scan chain does not respond to pure JTAG operations.
4123 The @var{mode} parameter is the parameter given to the
4124 low level reset command (@option{halt},
4125 @option{init}, or @option{run}), @option{setup},
4126 or potentially some other value.
4127
4128 The default implementation just invokes @command{jtag arp_init-reset}.
4129 Replacements will normally build on low level JTAG
4130 operations such as @command{adapter assert} and @command{adapter deassert}.
4131 Operations here must not address individual TAPs
4132 (or their associated targets)
4133 until the JTAG scan chain has first been verified to work.
4134
4135 Implementations must have verified the JTAG scan chain before
4136 they return.
4137 This is done by calling @command{jtag arp_init}
4138 (or @command{jtag arp_init-reset}).
4139 @end deffn
4140
4141 @deffn {Command} {jtag arp_init}
4142 This validates the scan chain using just the four
4143 standard JTAG signals (TMS, TCK, TDI, TDO).
4144 It starts by issuing a JTAG-only reset.
4145 Then it performs checks to verify that the scan chain configuration
4146 matches the TAPs it can observe.
4147 Those checks include checking IDCODE values for each active TAP,
4148 and verifying the length of their instruction registers using
4149 TAP @code{-ircapture} and @code{-irmask} values.
4150 If these tests all pass, TAP @code{setup} events are
4151 issued to all TAPs with handlers for that event.
4152 @end deffn
4153
4154 @deffn {Command} {jtag arp_init-reset}
4155 This uses TRST and SRST to try resetting
4156 everything on the JTAG scan chain
4157 (and anything else connected to SRST).
4158 It then invokes the logic of @command{jtag arp_init}.

4162 @node TAP Declaration
4163 @chapter TAP Declaration
4164 @cindex TAP declaration
4165 @cindex TAP configuration
4166
4167 @emph{Test Access Ports} (TAPs) are the core of JTAG.
4168 TAPs serve many roles, including:
4169
4170 @itemize @bullet
4171 @item @b{Debug Target} A CPU TAP can be used as a GDB debug target.
4172 @item @b{Flash Programming} Some chips program the flash directly via JTAG.
4173 Others do it indirectly, making a CPU do it.
4174 @item @b{Program Download} Using the same CPU support GDB uses,
4175 you can initialize a DRAM controller, download code to DRAM, and then
4176 start running that code.
4177 @item @b{Boundary Scan} Most chips support boundary scan, which
4178 helps test for board assembly problems like solder bridges
4179 and missing connections.
4180 @end itemize
4181
4182 OpenOCD must know about the active TAPs on your board(s).
4183 Setting up the TAPs is the core task of your configuration files.
4184 Once those TAPs are set up, you can pass their names to code
4185 which sets up CPUs and exports them as GDB targets,
4186 probes flash memory, performs low-level JTAG operations, and more.
4187
4188 @section Scan Chains
4189 @cindex scan chain
4190
4191 TAPs are part of a hardware @dfn{scan chain},
4192 which is a daisy chain of TAPs.
4193 They also need to be added to
4194 OpenOCD's software mirror of that hardware list,
4195 giving each member a name and associating other data with it.
4196 Simple scan chains, with a single TAP, are common in
4197 systems with a single microcontroller or microprocessor.
4198 More complex chips may have several TAPs internally.
4199 Very complex scan chains might have a dozen or more TAPs:
4200 several in one chip, more in the next, and connecting
4201 to other boards with their own chips and TAPs.
4202
4203 You can display the list with the @command{scan_chain} command.
4204 (Don't confuse this with the list displayed by the @command{targets}
4205 command, presented in the next chapter.
4206 That only displays TAPs for CPUs which are configured as
4207 debugging targets.)
4208 Here's what the scan chain might look like for a chip more than one TAP:
4209
4210 @verbatim
4211 TapName Enabled IdCode Expected IrLen IrCap IrMask
4212 -- ------------------ ------- ---------- ---------- ----- ----- ------
4213 0 omap5912.dsp Y 0x03df1d81 0x03df1d81 38 0x01 0x03
4214 1 omap5912.arm Y 0x0692602f 0x0692602f 4 0x01 0x0f
4215 2 omap5912.unknown Y 0x00000000 0x00000000 8 0x01 0x03
4216 @end verbatim
4217
4218 OpenOCD can detect some of that information, but not all
4219 of it. @xref{autoprobing,,Autoprobing}.
4220 Unfortunately, those TAPs can't always be autoconfigured,
4221 because not all devices provide good support for that.
4222 JTAG doesn't require supporting IDCODE instructions, and
4223 chips with JTAG routers may not link TAPs into the chain
4224 until they are told to do so.
4225
4226 The configuration mechanism currently supported by OpenOCD
4227 requires explicit configuration of all TAP devices using
4228 @command{jtag newtap} commands, as detailed later in this chapter.
4229 A command like this would declare one tap and name it @code{chip1.cpu}:
4230
4231 @example
4232 jtag newtap chip1 cpu -irlen 4 -expected-id 0x3ba00477
4233 @end example
4234
4235 Each target configuration file lists the TAPs provided
4236 by a given chip.
4237 Board configuration files combine all the targets on a board,
4238 and so forth.
4239 Note that @emph{the order in which TAPs are declared is very important.}
4240 That declaration order must match the order in the JTAG scan chain,
4241 both inside a single chip and between them.
4242 @xref{faqtaporder,,FAQ TAP Order}.
4243
4244 For example, the STMicroelectronics STR912 chip has
4245 three separate TAPs@footnote{See the ST
4246 document titled: @emph{STR91xFAxxx, Section 3.15 Jtag Interface, Page:
4247 28/102, Figure 3: JTAG chaining inside the STR91xFA}.
4248 @url{http://eu.st.com/stonline/products/literature/ds/13495.pdf}}.
4249 To configure those taps, @file{target/str912.cfg}
4250 includes commands something like this:
4251
4252 @example
4253 jtag newtap str912 flash ... params ...
4254 jtag newtap str912 cpu ... params ...
4255 jtag newtap str912 bs ... params ...
4256 @end example
4257
4258 Actual config files typically use a variable such as @code{$_CHIPNAME}
4259 instead of literals like @option{str912}, to support more than one chip
4260 of each type. @xref{Config File Guidelines}.
4261
4262 @deffn {Command} {jtag names}
4263 Returns the names of all current TAPs in the scan chain.
4264 Use @command{jtag cget} or @command{jtag tapisenabled}
4265 to examine attributes and state of each TAP.
4266 @example
4267 foreach t [jtag names] @{
4268 puts [format "TAP: %s\n" $t]
4269 @}
4270 @end example
4271 @end deffn
4272
4273 @deffn {Command} {scan_chain}
4274 Displays the TAPs in the scan chain configuration,
4275 and their status.
4276 The set of TAPs listed by this command is fixed by
4277 exiting the OpenOCD configuration stage,
4278 but systems with a JTAG router can
4279 enable or disable TAPs dynamically.
4280 @end deffn
4281
4282 @c FIXME! "jtag cget" should be able to return all TAP
4283 @c attributes, like "$target_name cget" does for targets.
4284
4285 @c Probably want "jtag eventlist", and a "tap-reset" event
4286 @c (on entry to RESET state).
4287
4288 @section TAP Names
4289 @cindex dotted name
4290
4291 When TAP objects are declared with @command{jtag newtap},
4292 a @dfn{dotted.name} is created for the TAP, combining the
4293 name of a module (usually a chip) and a label for the TAP.
4294 For example: @code{xilinx.tap}, @code{str912.flash},
4295 @code{omap3530.jrc}, @code{dm6446.dsp}, or @code{stm32.cpu}.
4296 Many other commands use that dotted.name to manipulate or
4297 refer to the TAP. For example, CPU configuration uses the
4298 name, as does declaration of NAND or NOR flash banks.
4299
4300 The components of a dotted name should follow ``C'' symbol
4301 name rules: start with an alphabetic character, then numbers
4302 and underscores are OK; while others (including dots!) are not.
4303
4304 @section TAP Declaration Commands
4305
4306 @deffn {Config Command} {jtag newtap} chipname tapname configparams...
4307 Declares a new TAP with the dotted name @var{chipname}.@var{tapname},
4308 and configured according to the various @var{configparams}.
4309
4310 The @var{chipname} is a symbolic name for the chip.
4311 Conventionally target config files use @code{$_CHIPNAME},
4312 defaulting to the model name given by the chip vendor but
4313 overridable.
4314
4315 @cindex TAP naming convention
4316 The @var{tapname} reflects the role of that TAP,
4317 and should follow this convention:
4318
4319 @itemize @bullet
4320 @item @code{bs} -- For boundary scan if this is a separate TAP;
4321 @item @code{cpu} -- The main CPU of the chip, alternatively
4322 @code{arm} and @code{dsp} on chips with both ARM and DSP CPUs,
4323 @code{arm1} and @code{arm2} on chips with two ARMs, and so forth;
4324 @item @code{etb} -- For an embedded trace buffer (example: an ARM ETB11);
4325 @item @code{flash} -- If the chip has a flash TAP, like the str912;
4326 @item @code{jrc} -- For JTAG route controller (example: the ICEPick modules
4327 on many Texas Instruments chips, like the OMAP3530 on Beagleboards);
4328 @item @code{tap} -- Should be used only for FPGA- or CPLD-like devices
4329 with a single TAP;
4330 @item @code{unknownN} -- If you have no idea what the TAP is for (N is a number);
4331 @item @emph{when in doubt} -- Use the chip maker's name in their data sheet.
4332 For example, the Freescale i.MX31 has a SDMA (Smart DMA) with
4333 a JTAG TAP; that TAP should be named @code{sdma}.
4334 @end itemize
4335
4336 Every TAP requires at least the following @var{configparams}:
4337
4338 @itemize @bullet
4339 @item @code{-irlen} @var{NUMBER}
4340 @*The length in bits of the
4341 instruction register, such as 4 or 5 bits.
4342 @end itemize
4343
4344 A TAP may also provide optional @var{configparams}:
4345
4346 @itemize @bullet
4347 @item @code{-disable} (or @code{-enable})
4348 @*Use the @code{-disable} parameter to flag a TAP which is not
4349 linked into the scan chain after a reset using either TRST
4350 or the JTAG state machine's @sc{reset} state.
4351 You may use @code{-enable} to highlight the default state
4352 (the TAP is linked in).
4353 @xref{enablinganddisablingtaps,,Enabling and Disabling TAPs}.
4354 @item @code{-expected-id} @var{NUMBER}
4355 @*A non-zero @var{number} represents a 32-bit IDCODE
4356 which you expect to find when the scan chain is examined.
4357 These codes are not required by all JTAG devices.
4358 @emph{Repeat the option} as many times as required if more than one
4359 ID code could appear (for example, multiple versions).
4360 Specify @var{number} as zero to suppress warnings about IDCODE
4361 values that were found but not included in the list.
4362
4363 Provide this value if at all possible, since it lets OpenOCD
4364 tell when the scan chain it sees isn't right. These values
4365 are provided in vendors' chip documentation, usually a technical
4366 reference manual. Sometimes you may need to probe the JTAG
4367 hardware to find these values.
4368 @xref{autoprobing,,Autoprobing}.
4369 @item @code{-ignore-version}
4370 @*Specify this to ignore the JTAG version field in the @code{-expected-id}
4371 option. When vendors put out multiple versions of a chip, or use the same
4372 JTAG-level ID for several largely-compatible chips, it may be more practical
4373 to ignore the version field than to update config files to handle all of
4374 the various chip IDs. The version field is defined as bit 28-31 of the IDCODE.
4375 @item @code{-ignore-bypass}
4376 @*Specify this to ignore the 'bypass' bit of the idcode. Some vendor put
4377 an invalid idcode regarding this bit. Specify this to ignore this bit and
4378 to not consider this tap in bypass mode.
4379 @item @code{-ircapture} @var{NUMBER}
4380 @*The bit pattern loaded by the TAP into the JTAG shift register
4381 on entry to the @sc{ircapture} state, such as 0x01.
4382 JTAG requires the two LSBs of this value to be 01.
4383 By default, @code{-ircapture} and @code{-irmask} are set
4384 up to verify that two-bit value. You may provide
4385 additional bits if you know them, or indicate that
4386 a TAP doesn't conform to the JTAG specification.
4387 @item @code{-irmask} @var{NUMBER}
4388 @*A mask used with @code{-ircapture}
4389 to verify that instruction scans work correctly.
4390 Such scans are not used by OpenOCD except to verify that
4391 there seems to be no problems with JTAG scan chain operations.
4392 @item @code{-ignore-syspwrupack}
4393 @*Specify this to ignore the CSYSPWRUPACK bit in the ARM DAP DP CTRL/STAT
4394 register during initial examination and when checking the sticky error bit.
4395 This bit is normally checked after setting the CSYSPWRUPREQ bit, but some
4396 devices do not set the ack bit until sometime later.

4408 At this writing this TAP attribute
4409 mechanism is limited and used mostly for event handling.
4410 (It is not a direct analogue of the @code{cget}/@code{configure}
4411 mechanism for debugger targets.)
4412 See the next section for information about the available events.
4413
4414 The @code{configure} subcommand assigns an event handler,
4415 a TCL string which is evaluated when the event is triggered.
4416 The @code{cget} subcommand returns that handler.
4417 @end deffn
4418
4419 @section TAP Events
4420 @cindex events
4421 @cindex TAP events
4422
4423 OpenOCD includes two event mechanisms.
4424 The one presented here applies to all JTAG TAPs.
4425 The other applies to debugger targets,
4426 which are associated with certain TAPs.
4427
4428 The TAP events currently defined are:
4429
4430 @itemize @bullet
4431 @item @b{post-reset}
4432 @* The TAP has just completed a JTAG reset.
4433 The tap may still be in the JTAG @sc{reset} state.
4434 Handlers for these events might perform initialization sequences
4435 such as issuing TCK cycles, TMS sequences to ensure
4436 exit from the ARM SWD mode, and more.
4437
4438 Because the scan chain has not yet been verified, handlers for these events
4439 @emph{should not issue commands which scan the JTAG IR or DR registers}
4440 of any particular target.
4441 @b{NOTE:} As this is written (September 2009), nothing prevents such access.
4442 @item @b{setup}
4443 @* The scan chain has been reset and verified.
4444 This handler may enable TAPs as needed.
4445 @item @b{tap-disable}
4446 @* The TAP needs to be disabled. This handler should
4447 implement @command{jtag tapdisable}
4448 by issuing the relevant JTAG commands.
4449 @item @b{tap-enable}
4450 @* The TAP needs to be enabled. This handler should
4451 implement @command{jtag tapenable}
4452 by issuing the relevant JTAG commands.
4453 @end itemize
4454
4455 If you need some action after each JTAG reset which isn't actually
4456 specific to any TAP (since you can't yet trust the scan chain's
4457 contents to be accurate), you might:
4458
4459 @example
4460 jtag configure CHIP.jrc -event post-reset @{
4461 echo "JTAG Reset done"
4462 ... non-scan jtag operations to be done after reset
4463 @}
4464 @end example
4465
4466
4467 @anchor{enablinganddisablingtaps}
4468 @section Enabling and Disabling TAPs
4469 @cindex JTAG Route Controller
4470 @cindex jrc
4471
4472 In some systems, a @dfn{JTAG Route Controller} (JRC)
4473 is used to enable and/or disable specific JTAG TAPs.
4474 Many ARM-based chips from Texas Instruments include
4475 an ``ICEPick'' module, which is a JRC.
4476 Such chips include DaVinci and OMAP3 processors.
4477
4478 A given TAP may not be visible until the JRC has been
4479 told to link it into the scan chain; and if the JRC
4480 has been told to unlink that TAP, it will no longer
4481 be visible.
4482 Such routers address problems that JTAG ``bypass mode''
4483 ignores, such as:
4484
4485 @itemize
4486 @item The scan chain can only go as fast as its slowest TAP.
4487 @item Having many TAPs slows instruction scans, since all
4488 TAPs receive new instructions.
4489 @item TAPs in the scan chain must be powered up, which wastes
4490 power and prevents debugging some power management mechanisms.
4491 @end itemize
4492
4493 The IEEE 1149.1 JTAG standard has no concept of a ``disabled'' tap,
4494 as implied by the existence of JTAG routers.
4495 However, the upcoming IEEE 1149.7 framework (layered on top of JTAG)
4496 does include a kind of JTAG router functionality.
4497
4498 @c (a) currently the event handlers don't seem to be able to
4499 @c fail in a way that could lead to no-change-of-state.
4500
4501 In OpenOCD, tap enabling/disabling is invoked by the Tcl commands
4502 shown below, and is implemented using TAP event handlers.
4503 So for example, when defining a TAP for a CPU connected to
4504 a JTAG router, your @file{target.cfg} file
4505 should define TAP event handlers using
4506 code that looks something like this:
4507
4508 @example
4509 jtag configure CHIP.cpu -event tap-enable @{
4510 ... jtag operations using CHIP.jrc
4511 @}
4512 jtag configure CHIP.cpu -event tap-disable @{
4513 ... jtag operations using CHIP.jrc
4514 @}
4515 @end example
4516
4517 Then you might want that CPU's TAP enabled almost all the time:
4518
4519 @example
4520 jtag configure $CHIP.jrc -event setup "jtag tapenable $CHIP.cpu"
4521 @end example
4522
4523 Note how that particular setup event handler declaration
4524 uses quotes to evaluate @code{$CHIP} when the event is configured.
4525 Using brackets @{ @} would cause it to be evaluated later,
4526 at runtime, when it might have a different value.
4527
4528 @deffn {Command} {jtag tapdisable} dotted.name
4529 If necessary, disables the tap
4530 by sending it a @option{tap-disable} event.
4531 Returns the string "1" if the tap
4532 specified by @var{dotted.name} is enabled,
4533 and "0" if it is disabled.
4534 @end deffn
4535
4536 @deffn {Command} {jtag tapenable} dotted.name
4537 If necessary, enables the tap
4538 by sending it a @option{tap-enable} event.
4539 Returns the string "1" if the tap
4540 specified by @var{dotted.name} is enabled,
4541 and "0" if it is disabled.
4542 @end deffn
4543
4544 @deffn {Command} {jtag tapisenabled} dotted.name
4545 Returns the string "1" if the tap
4546 specified by @var{dotted.name} is enabled,
4547 and "0" if it is disabled.
4548
4549 @quotation Note
4550 Humans will find the @command{scan_chain} command more helpful
4551 for querying the state of the JTAG taps.

4560 TAP configuration is the first thing that needs to be done
4561 after interface and reset configuration. Sometimes it's
4562 hard finding out what TAPs exist, or how they are identified.
4563 Vendor documentation is not always easy to find and use.
4564
4565 To help you get past such problems, OpenOCD has a limited
4566 @emph{autoprobing} ability to look at the scan chain, doing
4567 a @dfn{blind interrogation} and then reporting the TAPs it finds.
4568 To use this mechanism, start the OpenOCD server with only data
4569 that configures your JTAG interface, and arranges to come up
4570 with a slow clock (many devices don't support fast JTAG clocks
4571 right when they come out of reset).
4572
4573 For example, your @file{openocd.cfg} file might have:
4574
4575 @example
4576 source [find interface/olimex-arm-usb-tiny-h.cfg]
4577 reset_config trst_and_srst
4578 jtag_rclk 8
4579 @end example
4580
4581 When you start the server without any TAPs configured, it will
4582 attempt to autoconfigure the TAPs. There are two parts to this:
4583
4584 @enumerate
4585 @item @emph{TAP discovery} ...
4586 After a JTAG reset (sometimes a system reset may be needed too),
4587 each TAP's data registers will hold the contents of either the
4588 IDCODE or BYPASS register.
4589 If JTAG communication is working, OpenOCD will see each TAP,
4590 and report what @option{-expected-id} to use with it.
4591 @item @emph{IR Length discovery} ...
4592 Unfortunately JTAG does not provide a reliable way to find out
4593 the value of the @option{-irlen} parameter to use with a TAP
4594 that is discovered.
4595 If OpenOCD can discover the length of a TAP's instruction
4596 register, it will report it.
4597 Otherwise you may need to consult vendor documentation, such
4598 as chip data sheets or BSDL files.
4599 @end enumerate
4600
4601 In many cases your board will have a simple scan chain with just
4602 a single device. Here's what OpenOCD reported with one board
4603 that's a bit more complex:
4604
4605 @example
4606 clock speed 8 kHz
4607 There are no enabled taps. AUTO PROBING MIGHT NOT WORK!!
4608 AUTO auto0.tap - use "jtag newtap auto0 tap -expected-id 0x2b900f0f ..."
4609 AUTO auto1.tap - use "jtag newtap auto1 tap -expected-id 0x07926001 ..."
4610 AUTO auto2.tap - use "jtag newtap auto2 tap -expected-id 0x0b73b02f ..."
4611 AUTO auto0.tap - use "... -irlen 4"
4612 AUTO auto1.tap - use "... -irlen 4"
4613 AUTO auto2.tap - use "... -irlen 6"
4614 no gdb ports allocated as no target has been specified
4615 @end example
4616
4617 Given that information, you should be able to either find some existing
4618 config files to use, or create your own. If you create your own, you
4619 would configure from the bottom up: first a @file{target.cfg} file
4620 with these TAPs, any targets associated with them, and any on-chip
4621 resources; then a @file{board.cfg} with off-chip resources, clocking,
4622 and so forth.

4625 @section DAP declaration (ARMv6-M, ARMv7 and ARMv8 targets)
4626 @cindex DAP declaration
4627
4628 Since OpenOCD version 0.11.0, the Debug Access Port (DAP) is
4629 no longer implicitly created together with the target. It must be
4630 explicitly declared using the @command{dap create} command. For all ARMv6-M, ARMv7
4631 and ARMv8 targets, the option "@option{-dap} @var{dap_name}" has to be used
4632 instead of "@option{-chain-position} @var{dotted.name}" when the target is created.
4633
4634 The @command{dap} command group supports the following sub-commands:
4635
4636 @anchor{dap_create}
4637 @deffn {Command} {dap create} dap_name @option{-chain-position} dotted.name configparams...
4638 Declare a DAP instance named @var{dap_name} linked to the JTAG tap
4639 @var{dotted.name}. This also creates a new command (@command{dap_name})
4640 which is used for various purposes including additional configuration.
4641 There can only be one DAP for each JTAG tap in the system.
4642
4643 A DAP may also provide optional @var{configparams}:
4644
4645 @itemize @bullet
4646 @item @code{-adiv5}
4647 Specify that it's an ADIv5 DAP. This is the default if not specified.
4648 @item @code{-adiv6}
4649 Specify that it's an ADIv6 DAP.
4650 @item @code{-ignore-syspwrupack}
4651 Specify this to ignore the CSYSPWRUPACK bit in the ARM DAP DP CTRL/STAT
4652 register during initial examination and when checking the sticky error bit.
4653 This bit is normally checked after setting the CSYSPWRUPREQ bit, but some
4654 devices do not set the ack bit until sometime later.
4655
4656 @item @code{-dp-id} @var{number}
4657 @*Debug port identification number for SWD DPv2 multidrop.
4658 The @var{number} is written to bits 0..27 of DP TARGETSEL during DP selection.
4659 To find the id number of a single connected device read DP TARGETID:
4660 @code{device.dap dpreg 0x24}
4661 Use bits 0..27 of TARGETID.
4662
4663 @item @code{-instance-id} @var{number}
4664 @*Instance identification number for SWD DPv2 multidrop.
4665 The @var{number} is written to bits 28..31 of DP TARGETSEL during DP selection.
4666 To find the instance number of a single connected device read DP DLPIDR:
4667 @code{device.dap dpreg 0x34}
4668 The instance number is in bits 28..31 of DLPIDR value.

4740
4741 @deffn {Command} {$dap_name memaccess} [value]
4742 Displays the number of extra tck cycles in the JTAG idle to use for MEM-AP
4743 memory bus access [0-255], giving additional time to respond to reads.
4744 If @var{value} is defined, first assigns that.
4745 @end deffn
4746
4747 @deffn {Command} {$dap_name apcsw} [value [mask]]
4748 Displays or changes CSW bit pattern for MEM-AP transfers.
4749
4750 At the begin of each memory access the CSW pattern is extended (bitwise or-ed)
4751 by @dfn{Size} and @dfn{AddrInc} bit-fields according to transfer requirements
4752 and the result is written to the real CSW register. All bits except dynamically
4753 updated fields @dfn{Size} and @dfn{AddrInc} can be changed by changing
4754 the CSW pattern. Refer to ARM ADI v5 manual chapter 7.6.4 and appendix A
4755 for details.
4756
4757 Use @var{value} only syntax if you want to set the new CSW pattern as a whole.
4758 The example sets HPROT1 bit (required by Cortex-M) and clears the rest of
4759 the pattern:
4760 @example
4761 kx.dap apcsw 0x2000000
4762 @end example
4763
4764 If @var{mask} is also used, the CSW pattern is changed only on bit positions
4765 where the mask bit is 1. The following example sets HPROT3 (cacheable)
4766 and leaves the rest of the pattern intact. It configures memory access through
4767 DCache on Cortex-M7.
4768 @example
4769 set CSW_HPROT3_CACHEABLE [expr @{1 << 27@}]
4770 samv.dap apcsw $CSW_HPROT3_CACHEABLE $CSW_HPROT3_CACHEABLE
4771 @end example
4772
4773 Another example clears SPROT bit and leaves the rest of pattern intact:
4774 @example
4775 set CSW_SPROT [expr @{1 << 30@}]
4776 samv.dap apcsw 0 $CSW_SPROT
4777 @end example
4778
4779 @emph{Note:} If you want to check the real value of CSW, not CSW pattern, use
4780 @code{xxx.dap apreg 0}. @xref{DAP subcommand apreg,,}.
4781
4782 @emph{Warning:} Some of the CSW bits are vital for working memory transfer.
4783 If you set a wrong CSW pattern and MEM-AP stopped working, use the following
4784 example with a proper dap name:
4785 @example
4786 xxx.dap apcsw default
4787 @end example

4801 @chapter CPU Configuration
4802 @cindex GDB target
4803
4804 This chapter discusses how to set up GDB debug targets for CPUs.
4805 You can also access these targets without GDB
4806 (@pxref{Architecture and Core Commands},
4807 and @ref{targetstatehandling,,Target State handling}) and
4808 through various kinds of NAND and NOR flash commands.
4809 If you have multiple CPUs you can have multiple such targets.
4810
4811 We'll start by looking at how to examine the targets you have,
4812 then look at how to add one more target and how to configure it.
4813
4814 @section Target List
4815 @cindex target, current
4816 @cindex target, list
4817
4818 All targets that have been set up are part of a list,
4819 where each member has a name.
4820 That name should normally be the same as the TAP name.
4821 You can display the list with the @command{targets}
4822 (plural!) command.
4823 This display often has only one CPU; here's what it might
4824 look like with more than one:
4825 @verbatim
4826 TargetName Type Endian TapName State
4827 -- ------------------ ---------- ------ ------------------ ------------
4828 0* at91rm9200.cpu arm920t little at91rm9200.cpu running
4829 1 MyTarget cortex_m little mychip.foo tap-disabled
4830 @end verbatim
4831
4832 One member of that list is the @dfn{current target}, which
4833 is implicitly referenced by many commands.
4834 It's the one marked with a @code{*} near the target name.
4835 In particular, memory addresses often refer to the address
4836 space seen by that current target.
4837 Commands like @command{mdw} (memory display words)
4838 and @command{flash erase_address} (erase NOR flash blocks)
4839 are examples; and there are many more.
4840
4841 Several commands let you examine the list of targets:
4842
4843 @deffn {Command} {target current}
4844 Returns the name of the current target.
4845 @end deffn
4846
4847 @deffn {Command} {target names}
4848 Lists the names of all current targets in the list.
4849 @example
4850 foreach t [target names] @{
4851 puts [format "Target: %s\n" $t]
4852 @}
4853 @end example
4854 @end deffn
4855
4856 @c yep, "target list" would have been better.
4857 @c plus maybe "target setdefault".
4858
4859 @deffn {Command} {targets} [name]
4860 @emph{Note: the name of this command is plural. Other target
4861 command names are singular.}
4862
4863 With no parameter, this command displays a table of all known
4864 targets in a user friendly form.
4865
4866 With a parameter, this command sets the current target to
4867 the given target with the given @var{name}; this is
4868 only relevant on boards which have more than one target.
4869 @end deffn
4870
4871 @section Target CPU Types
4872 @cindex target type
4873 @cindex CPU type
4874
4875 Each target has a @dfn{CPU type}, as shown in the output of
4876 the @command{targets} command. You need to specify that type
4877 when calling @command{target create}.
4878 The CPU type indicates more than just the instruction set.
4879 It also indicates how that instruction set is implemented,
4880 what kind of debug support it integrates,
4881 whether it has an MMU (and if so, what kind),
4882 what core-specific commands may be available
4883 (@pxref{Architecture and Core Commands}),
4884 and more.
4885
4886 It's easy to see what target types are supported,
4887 since there's a command to list them.
4888
4889 @anchor{targettypes}

4929 It's possible to connect a GDB client to this target (the GDB port has to be

4959 To avoid being confused by the variety of ARM based cores, remember
4960 this key point: @emph{ARM is a technology licencing company}.
4961 (See: @url{http://www.arm.com}.)
4962 The CPU name used by OpenOCD will reflect the CPU design that was
4963 licensed, not a vendor brand which incorporates that design.
4964 Name prefixes like arm7, arm9, arm11, and cortex
4965 reflect design generations;
4966 while names like ARMv4, ARMv5, ARMv6, ARMv7 and ARMv8
4967 reflect an architecture version implemented by a CPU design.

4969 @anchor{targetconfiguration}
4970 @section Target Configuration
4971
4972 Before creating a ``target'', you must have added its TAP to the scan chain.
4973 When you've added that TAP, you will have a @code{dotted.name}
4974 which is used to set up the CPU support.
4975 The chip-specific configuration file will normally configure its CPU(s)
4976 right after it adds all of the chip's TAPs to the scan chain.
4977
4978 Although you can set up a target in one step, it's often clearer if you
4979 use shorter commands and do it in two steps: create it, then configure
4980 optional parts.
4981 All operations on the target after it's created will use a new
4982 command, created as part of target creation.
4983
4984 The two main things to configure after target creation are
4985 a work area, which usually has target-specific defaults even
4986 if the board setup code overrides them later;
4987 and event handlers (@pxref{targetevents,,Target Events}), which tend
4988 to be much more board-specific.
4989 The key steps you use might look something like this
4990
4991 @example
4992 dap create mychip.dap -chain-position mychip.cpu
4993 target create MyTarget cortex_m -dap mychip.dap
4994 MyTarget configure -work-area-phys 0x08000 -work-area-size 8096
4995 MyTarget configure -event reset-deassert-pre @{ jtag_rclk 5 @}
4996 MyTarget configure -event reset-init @{ myboard_reinit @}
4997 @end example
4998
4999 You should specify a working area if you can; typically it uses some
5000 on-chip SRAM.
5001 Such a working area can speed up many things, including bulk
5002 writes to target memory;
5003 flash operations like checking to see if memory needs to be erased;
5004 GDB memory checksumming;
5005 and more.
5006
5007 @quotation Warning
5008 On more complex chips, the work area can become
5009 inaccessible when application code
5010 (such as an operating system)
5011 enables or disables the MMU.
5012 For example, the particular MMU context used to access the virtual
5013 address will probably matter ... and that context might not have
5014 easy access to other addresses needed.
5015 At this writing, OpenOCD doesn't have much MMU intelligence.
5016 @end quotation
5017
5018 It's often very useful to define a @code{reset-init} event handler.
5019 For systems that are normally used with a boot loader,
5020 common tasks include updating clocks and initializing memory
5021 controllers.
5022 That may be needed to let you write the boot loader into flash,
5023 in order to ``de-brick'' your board; or to load programs into
5024 external DDR memory without having run the boot loader.
5025
5026 @deffn {Config Command} {target create} target_name type configparams...
5027 This command creates a GDB debug target that refers to a specific JTAG tap.
5028 It enters that target into a list, and creates a new
5029 command (@command{@var{target_name}}) which is used for various
5030 purposes including additional configuration.
5031
5032 @itemize @bullet
5033 @item @var{target_name} ... is the name of the debug target.
5034 By convention this should be the same as the @emph{dotted.name}
5035 of the TAP associated with this target, which must be specified here
5036 using the @code{-chain-position @var{dotted.name}} configparam.
5037
5038 This name is also used to create the target object command,
5039 referred to here as @command{$target_name},
5040 and in other places the target needs to be identified.
5041 @item @var{type} ... specifies the target type. @xref{targettypes,,target types}.
5042 @item @var{configparams} ... all parameters accepted by
5043 @command{$target_name configure} are permitted.
5044 If the target is big-endian, set it here with @code{-endian big}.
5045
5046 You @emph{must} set the @code{-chain-position @var{dotted.name}} or
5047 @code{-dap @var{dap_name}} here.
5048 @end itemize
5049 @end deffn
5050
5051 @deffn {Command} {$target_name configure} configparams...
5052 The options accepted by this command may also be
5053 specified as parameters to @command{target create}.
5054 Their values can later be queried one at a time by
5055 using the @command{$target_name cget} command.
5056
5057 @emph{Warning:} changing some of these after setup is dangerous.
5058 For example, moving a target from one TAP to another;
5059 and changing its endianness.

5072
5073 @item @code{-event} @var{event_name} @var{event_body} --
5074 @xref{targetevents,,Target Events}.
5075 Note that this updates a list of named event handlers.
5076 Calling this twice with two different event names assigns
5077 two different handlers, but calling it twice with the
5078 same event name assigns only one handler.
5079
5080 Current target is temporarily overridden to the event issuing target
5081 before handler code starts and switched back after handler is done.
5082
5083 @item @code{-work-area-backup} (@option{0}|@option{1}) -- says
5084 whether the work area gets backed up; by default,
5085 @emph{it is not backed up.}
5086 When possible, use a working_area that doesn't need to be backed up,
5087 since performing a backup slows down operations.
5088 For example, the beginning of an SRAM block is likely to
5089 be used by most build systems, but the end is often unused.

5099 base @var{address} to be used when an MMU is active.
5100 @emph{Do not specify a value for this except on targets with an MMU.}

5142 @section Other $target_name Commands
5143 @cindex object command
5144
5145 The Tcl/Tk language has the concept of object commands,
5146 and OpenOCD adopts that same model for targets.
5147
5148 A good Tk example is a on screen button.
5149 Once a button is created a button
5150 has a name (a path in Tk terms) and that name is useable as a first
5151 class command. For example in Tk, one can create a button and later
5152 configure it like this:
5153
5154 @example
5155 # Create
5156 button .foobar -background red -command @{ foo @}
5157 # Modify
5158 .foobar configure -foreground blue
5159 # Query
5160 set x [.foobar cget -background]
5161 # Report
5162 puts [format "The button is %s" $x]
5163 @end example
5164
5165 In OpenOCD's terms, the ``target'' is an object just like a Tcl/Tk
5166 button, and its object commands are invoked the same way.
5167
5168 @example
5169 str912.cpu mww 0x1234 0x42
5170 omap3530.cpu mww 0x5555 123
5171 @end example
5172
5173 The commands supported by OpenOCD target objects are:
5174
5175 @deffn {Command} {$target_name arp_examine} @option{allow-defer}
5176 @deffnx {Command} {$target_name arp_halt}
5177 @deffnx {Command} {$target_name arp_poll}
5178 @deffnx {Command} {$target_name arp_reset}
5179 @deffnx {Command} {$target_name arp_waitstate}
5180 Internal OpenOCD scripts (most notably @file{startup.tcl})
5181 use these to deal with specific reset cases.
5182 They are not otherwise documented here.
5183 @end deffn
5184
5185 @deffn {Command} {$target_name set_reg} dict
5186 Set register values of the target.
5187
5188 @itemize
5189 @item @var{dict} ... Tcl dictionary with pairs of register names and values.
5190 @end itemize
5191
5192 For example, the following command sets the value 0 to the program counter (pc)
5193 register and 0x1000 to the stack pointer (sp) register:
5194
5195 @example
5196 set_reg @{pc 0 sp 0x1000@}
5197 @end example
5198 @end deffn
5199
5200 @deffn {Command} {$target_name get_reg} [-force] list
5201 Get register values from the target and return them as Tcl dictionary with pairs
5202 of register names and values.
5203 If option "-force" is set, the register values are read directly from the
5204 target, bypassing any caching.
5205
5206 @itemize
5207 @item @var{list} ... List of register names
5208 @end itemize
5209
5210 For example, the following command retrieves the values from the program
5211 counter (pc) and stack pointer (sp) register:

5218 @deffn {Command} {$target_name write_memory} address width data ['phys']
5219 This function provides an efficient way to write to the target memory from a Tcl

5234 @end example
5235 @end deffn
5236
5237 @deffn {Command} {$target_name read_memory} address width count ['phys']
5238 This function provides an efficient way to read the target memory from a Tcl
5239 script.
5240 A Tcl list containing the requested memory elements is returned by this function.
5241
5242 @itemize
5243 @item @var{address} ... target memory address

5245 @item @var{count} ... number of elements to read
5246 @item ['phys'] ... treat the memory address as physical instead of virtual address
5247 @end itemize
5248
5249 For example, the following command reads two 32 bit words from the target
5250 memory at address 0x20000000:

5257 @deffn {Command} {$target_name cget} queryparm
5258 Each configuration parameter accepted by
5259 @command{$target_name configure}
5260 can be individually queried, to return its current value.
5261 The @var{queryparm} is a parameter name
5262 accepted by that command, such as @code{-work-area-phys}.
5263 There are a few special cases:
5264
5265 @itemize @bullet
5266 @item @code{-event} @var{event_name} -- returns the handler for the
5267 event named @var{event_name}.
5268 This is a special case because setting a handler requires
5269 two parameters.
5270 @item @code{-type} -- returns the target type.
5271 This is a special case because this is set using
5272 @command{target create} and can't be changed
5273 using @command{$target_name configure}.

5344 @cindex target events
5345 @cindex events
5346 At various times, certain things can happen, or you want them to happen.
5347 For example:
5348 @itemize @bullet
5349 @item What should happen when GDB connects? Should your target reset?
5350 @item When GDB tries to flash the target, do you need to enable the flash via a special command?
5351 @item Is using SRST appropriate (and possible) on your system?
5352 Or instead of that, do you need to issue JTAG commands to trigger reset?
5353 SRST usually resets everything on the scan chain, which can be inappropriate.
5354 @item During reset, do you need to write to certain memory locations
5355 to set up system clocks or
5356 to reconfigure the SDRAM?
5357 How about configuring the watchdog timer, or other peripherals,
5358 to stop running while you hold the core stopped for debugging?
5359 @end itemize
5360
5361 All of the above items can be addressed by target event handlers.
5362 These are set up by @command{$target_name configure -event} or
5363 @command{target create ... -event}.
5364
5365 The programmer's model matches the @code{-command} option used in Tcl/Tk
5366 buttons and events. The two examples below act the same, but one creates
5367 and invokes a small procedure while the other inlines it.
5368
5369 @example
5370 proc my_init_proc @{ @} @{
5371 echo "Disabling watchdog..."
5372 mww 0xfffffd44 0x00008000
5373 @}
5374 mychip.cpu configure -event reset-init my_init_proc
5375 mychip.cpu configure -event reset-init @{

5381 The following target events are defined:
5382
5383 @itemize @bullet
5384 @item @b{debug-halted}
5385 @* The target has halted for debug reasons (i.e.: breakpoint)
5386 @item @b{debug-resumed}
5387 @* The target has resumed (i.e.: GDB said run)
5388 @item @b{early-halted}
5389 @* Occurs early in the halt process
5390 @item @b{examine-start}
5391 @* Before target examine is called.
5392 @item @b{examine-end}
5393 @* After target examine is called with no errors.
5394 @item @b{examine-fail}
5395 @* After target examine fails.
5396 @item @b{gdb-attach}
5397 @* When GDB connects. Issued before any GDB communication with the target
5398 starts. GDB expects the target is halted during attachment.
5399 @xref{gdbmeminspect,,GDB as a non-intrusive memory inspector}, how to
5400 connect GDB to running target.
5401 The event can be also used to set up the target so it is possible to probe flash.
5402 Probing flash is necessary during GDB connect if you want to use
5403 @pxref{programmingusinggdb,,programming using GDB}.
5404 Another use of the flash memory map is for GDB to automatically choose
5405 hardware or software breakpoints depending on whether the breakpoint
5406 is in RAM or read only memory.
5407 Default is @code{halt}
5408 @item @b{gdb-detach}
5409 @* When GDB disconnects
5410 @item @b{gdb-end}
5411 @* When the target has halted and GDB is not doing anything (see early halt)
5412 @item @b{gdb-flash-erase-start}
5413 @* Before the GDB flash process tries to erase the flash (default is
5414 @code{reset init})
5415 @item @b{gdb-flash-erase-end}
5416 @* After the GDB flash process has finished erasing the flash
5417 @item @b{gdb-flash-write-start}
5418 @* Before GDB writes to the flash
5419 @item @b{gdb-flash-write-end}
5420 @* After GDB writes to the flash (default is @code{reset halt})
5421 @item @b{gdb-start}
5422 @* Before the target steps, GDB is trying to start/resume the target
5423 @item @b{halted}
5424 @* The target has halted
5425 @item @b{reset-assert-pre}
5426 @* Issued as part of @command{reset} processing
5427 after @command{reset-start} was triggered
5428 but before either SRST alone is asserted on the scan chain,
5429 or @code{reset-assert} is triggered.
5430 @item @b{reset-assert}
5431 @* Issued as part of @command{reset} processing
5432 after @command{reset-assert-pre} was triggered.
5433 When such a handler is present, cores which support this event will use
5434 it instead of asserting SRST.
5435 This support is essential for debugging with JTAG interfaces which
5436 don't include an SRST line (JTAG doesn't require SRST), and for
5437 selective reset on scan chains that have multiple targets.
5438 @item @b{reset-assert-post}
5439 @* Issued as part of @command{reset} processing
5440 after @code{reset-assert} has been triggered.
5441 or the target asserted SRST on the entire scan chain.
5442 @item @b{reset-deassert-pre}
5443 @* Issued as part of @command{reset} processing
5444 after @code{reset-assert-post} has been triggered.
5445 @item @b{reset-deassert-post}
5446 @* Issued as part of @command{reset} processing
5447 after @code{reset-deassert-pre} has been triggered
5448 and (if the target is using it) after SRST has been
5449 released on the scan chain.
5450 @item @b{reset-end}
5451 @* Issued as the final step in @command{reset} processing.
5452 @item @b{reset-init}
5453 @* Used by @b{reset init} command for board-specific initialization.
5454 This event fires after @emph{reset-deassert-post}.
5455
5456 This is where you would configure PLLs and clocking, set up DRAM so
5457 you can download programs that don't fit in on-chip SRAM, set up pin
5458 multiplexing, and so on.
5459 (You may be able to switch to a fast JTAG clock rate here, after
5460 the target clocks are fully set up.)
5461 @item @b{reset-start}
5462 @* Issued as the first step in @command{reset} processing
5463 before @command{reset-assert-pre} is called.
5464
5465 This is the most robust place to use @command{jtag_rclk}
5466 or @command{adapter speed} to switch to a low JTAG clock rate,
5467 when reset disables PLLs needed to use a fast clock.
5468 @item @b{resume-start}

5498 @quotation Note
5499 OpenOCD events are not supposed to be preempt by another event, but this
5500 is not enforced in current code. Only the target event @b{resumed} is
5501 executed with polling disabled; this avoids polling to trigger the event
5502 @b{halted}, reversing the logical order of execution of their handlers.
5503 Future versions of OpenOCD will prevent the event preemption and will
5504 disable the schedule of polling during the event execution. Do not rely
5505 on polling in any event handler; this means, don't expect the status of
5506 a core to change during the execution of the handler. The event handler
5507 will have to enable polling or use @command{$target_name arp_poll} to
5508 check if the core has changed status.

5511 @node Flash Commands
5512 @chapter Flash Commands
5513
5514 OpenOCD has different commands for NOR and NAND flash;
5515 the ``flash'' command works with NOR flash, while
5516 the ``nand'' command works with NAND flash.
5517 This partially reflects different hardware technologies:
5518 NOR flash usually supports direct CPU instruction and data bus access,
5519 while data from a NAND flash must be copied to memory before it can be
5520 used. (SPI flash must also be copied to memory before use.)
5521 However, the documentation also uses ``flash'' as a generic term;
5522 for example, ``Put flash configuration in board-specific files''.
5523
5524 Flash Steps:
5525 @enumerate
5526 @item Configure via the command @command{flash bank}
5527 @* Do this in a board-specific configuration file,
5528 passing parameters as needed by the driver.
5529 @item Operate on the flash via @command{flash subcommand}
5530 @* Often commands to manipulate the flash are typed by a human, or run
5531 via a script in some automated way. Common tasks include writing a
5532 boot loader, operating system, or other data.
5533 @item GDB Flashing
5534 @* Flashing via GDB requires the flash be configured via ``flash
5535 bank'', and the GDB flash features be enabled.
5536 @xref{gdbconfiguration,,GDB Configuration}.
5537 @end enumerate
5538
5539 Many CPUs have the ability to ``boot'' from the first flash bank.
5540 This means that misprogramming that bank can ``brick'' a system,
5541 so that it can't boot.
5542 JTAG tools, like OpenOCD, are often then used to ``de-brick'' the
5543 board by (re)installing working boot firmware.

5552 These banks will often be visible to GDB through the target's memory map.

5627
5628 One feature distinguishing NOR flash from NAND or serial flash technologies
5629 is that for read access, it acts exactly like any other addressable memory.
5630 This means you can use normal memory read commands like @command{mdw} or
5631 @command{dump_image} with it, with no special @command{flash} subcommands.
5632 @xref{memoryaccess,,Memory access}, and @ref{imageaccess,,Image access}.
5633
5634 Write access works differently. Flash memory normally needs to be erased
5635 before it's written. Erasing a sector turns all of its bits to ones, and
5636 writing can turn ones into zeroes. This is why there are special commands
5637 for interactive erasing and writing, and why GDB needs to know which parts
5638 of the address space hold NOR flash memory.
5639
5640 @quotation Note
5641 Most of these erase and write commands leverage the fact that NOR flash
5642 chips consume target address space. They implicitly refer to the current
5643 JTAG target, and map from an address in that target's address space
5644 back to a flash bank.
5645 @comment In May 2009, those mappings may fail if any bank associated
5646 @comment with that target doesn't successfully autoprobe ... bug worth fixing?
5647 A few commands use abstract addressing based on bank and sector numbers,
5648 and don't depend on searching the current target and its address space.
5649 Avoid confusing the two command models.
5650 @end quotation
5651
5652 Some flash chips implement software protection against accidental writes,
5653 since such buggy writes could in some cases ``brick'' a system.
5654 For such systems, erasing and writing may require sector protection to be
5655 disabled first.
5656 Examples include CFI flash such as ``Intel Advanced Bootblock flash'',
5657 and AT91SAM7 on-chip flash.

5673 Specifying @option{pad} erases extra data at the beginning and/or
5674 end of the specified region, as needed to erase only full sectors.
5675 The flash bank to use is inferred from the @var{address}, and

5834 @deffn {Flash Driver} {virtual}
5835 This is a special driver that maps a previously defined bank to another
5836 address. All bank settings will be copied from the master physical bank.

5840 @itemize
5841 @item @var{master_bank} The bank that this virtual address refers to.
5842 @end itemize

5844 So in the following example addresses 0xbfc00000 and 0x9fc00000 refer to
5845 the flash bank defined at address 0x1fc00000. Any command executed on
5846 the virtual banks is actually performed on the physical banks.

5858 @deffn {Flash Driver} {cfi}
5859 @cindex Common Flash Interface
5860 @cindex CFI
5861 The ``Common Flash Interface'' (CFI) is the main standard for
5862 external NOR flash chips, each of which connects to a
5863 specific external chip select on the CPU.
5864 Frequently the first such chip is used to boot the system.
5865 Your board's @code{reset-init} handler might need to
5866 configure additional chip selects using other commands (like: @command{mww} to
5867 configure a bus and its timings), or
5868 perhaps configure a GPIO pin that controls the ``write protect'' pin
5869 on the flash chip.
5870 The CFI driver can use a target-specific working area to significantly
5871 speed up operation.
5872
5873 The CFI driver can accept the following optional parameters, in any order:
5874
5875 @itemize
5876 @item @var{jedec_probe} ... is used to detect certain non-CFI flash ROMs,
5877 like AM29LV010 and similar types.
5878 @item @var{x16_as_x8} ... when a 16-bit flash is hooked up to an 8-bit bus.
5879 @item @var{bus_swap} ... when data bytes in a 16-bit flash needs to be swapped.
5880 @item @var{data_swap} ... when data bytes in a 16-bit flash needs to be
5881 swapped when writing data values (i.e. not CFI commands).
5882 @end itemize
5883
5884 To configure two adjacent banks of 16 MBytes each, both sixteen bits (two bytes)
5885 wide on a sixteen bit bus:
5886
5887 @example
5888 flash bank $_FLASHNAME cfi 0x00000000 0x01000000 2 2 $_TARGETNAME
5889 flash bank $_FLASHNAME cfi 0x01000000 0x01000000 2 2 $_TARGETNAME
5890 @end example
5891
5892 To configure one bank of 32 MBytes
5893 built from two sixteen bit (two byte) wide parts wired in parallel
5894 to create a thirty-two bit (four byte) bus with doubled throughput:
5895
5896 @example
5897 flash bank $_FLASHNAME cfi 0x00000000 0x02000000 2 4 $_TARGETNAME

5908 Several FPGAs and CPLDs can retrieve their configuration (bitstream) from a
5909 SPI flash connected to them. To access this flash from the host, the device
5910 is first programmed with a special proxy bitstream that
5911 exposes the SPI flash on the device's JTAG interface. The flash can then be
5912 accessed through JTAG.
5913
5914 Since signaling between JTAG and SPI is compatible, all that is required for
5915 a proxy bitstream is to connect TDI-MOSI, TDO-MISO, TCK-CLK and activate
5916 the flash chip select when the JTAG state machine is in SHIFT-DR. Such
5917 a bitstream for several Xilinx FPGAs can be found in
5918 @file{contrib/loaders/flash/fpga/xilinx_bscan_spi.py}. It requires
5919 @uref{https://github.com/m-labs/migen, migen} and a Xilinx toolchain to build.
5920
5921 This flash bank driver requires a target on a JTAG tap and will access that
5922 tap directly. Since no support from the target is needed, the target can be a
5923 "testee" dummy. Since the target does not expose the flash memory
5924 mapping, target commands that would otherwise be expected to access the flash
5925 will not work. These include all @command{*_image} and
5926 @command{$target_name m*} commands as well as @command{program}. Equivalent
5927 functionality is available through the @command{flash write_bank},
5928 @command{flash read_bank}, and @command{flash verify_bank} commands.
5929
5930 According to device size, 1- to 4-byte addresses are sent. However, some
5931 flash chips additionally have to be switched to 4-byte addresses by an extra
5932 command, see below.
5933

6024
6025 The lpcspifi driver initializes this interface and provides
6026 program and erase functionality for these serial flash devices.
6027 Use of this driver @b{requires} a working area of at least 1kB

6047 ``Serial Memory Interface'' (SMI) controller able to drive external
6048 SPI flash devices.
6049 Depending on specific device and board configuration, up to 4 external
6050 flash devices can be connected.
6051
6052 SMI makes the flash content directly accessible in the CPU address
6053 space; each external device is mapped in a memory bank.
6054 CPU can directly read data, execute code and boot from SMI banks.
6055 Normal OpenOCD commands like @command{mdw} can be used to display
6056 the flash content.
6057
6058 The setup command only requires the @var{base} parameter in order
6059 to identify the memory bank.

6073 @cindex stmqspi
6074 Some devices from STMicroelectronics include a proprietary ``QuadSPI Interface''
6075 (e.g. STM32F4, STM32F7, STM32L4) or ``OctoSPI Interface'' (e.g. STM32L4+)
6076 controller able to drive one or even two (dual mode) external SPI flash devices.
6077 The OctoSPI is a superset of QuadSPI, its presence is detected automatically.
6078 Currently only the regular command mode is supported, whereas the HyperFlash
6079 mode is not.
6080
6081 QuadSPI/OctoSPI makes the flash contents directly accessible in the CPU address
6082 space; in case of dual mode both devices must be of the same type and are
6083 mapped in the same memory bank (even and odd addresses interleaved).
6084 CPU can directly read data, execute code (but not boot) from QuadSPI bank.
6085
6086 The 'flash bank' command only requires the @var{base} parameter and the extra
6087 parameter @var{io_base} in order to identify the memory bank. Both are fixed
6088 by hardware, see datasheet or RM. All other parameters are ignored.
6089
6090 The controller must be initialized after each reset and properly configured
6091 for memory-mapped read operation for the particular flash chip(s), for the full
6092 list of available register settings cf. the controller's RM. This setup is quite
6093 board specific (that's why booting from this memory is not possible). The
6094 flash driver infers all parameters from current controller register values when
6095 'flash probe @var{bank_id}' is executed.
6096
6097 Normal OpenOCD commands like @command{mdw} can be used to display the flash content,
6098 but only after proper controller initialization as described above. However,
6099 due to a silicon bug in some devices, attempting to access the very last word
6100 should be avoided.
6101
6102 It is possible to use two (even different) flash chips alternatingly, if individual
6103 bank chip selects are available. For some package variants, this is not the case
6104 due to limited pin count. To switch from one to another, adjust FSEL bit accordingly
6105 and re-issue 'flash probe bank_id'. Note that the bank base address will @emph{not}
6106 change, so the address spaces of both devices will overlap. In dual flash mode
6107 both chips must be identical regarding size and most other properties.
6108
6109 Block or sector protection internal to the flash chip is not handled by this
6110 driver at all, but can be dealt with manually by the 'cmd' command, see below.
6111 The sector protection via 'flash protect' command etc. is completely internal to
6112 openocd, intended only to prevent accidental erase or overwrite and it does not
6113 persist across openocd invocations.
6114
6115 OpenOCD contains a hardcoded list of flash devices with their properties,
6116 these are auto-detected. If a device is not included in this list, SFDP discovery
6117 is attempted. If this fails or gives inappropriate results, manual setting is
6118 required (see 'set' command).
6119
6120 @example
6121 flash bank $_FLASHNAME stmqspi 0x90000000 0 0 0 \
6122 $_TARGETNAME 0xA0001000

6127 There are three specific commands
6128 @deffn {Command} {stmqspi mass_erase} bank_id
6129 Clears sector protections and performs a mass erase. Works only if there is no
6130 chip specific write protection engaged.

6132
6133 @deffn {Command} {stmqspi set} bank_id name total_size page_size read_cmd fread_cmd pprg_cmd mass_erase_cmd sector_size sector_erase_cmd

6135 in bytes, @var{page_size} is write page size. @var{read_cmd}, @var{fread_cmd} and @var{pprg_cmd}
6136 are commands for reading and page programming. @var{fread_cmd} is used in DPI and QPI modes,
6137 @var{read_cmd} in normal SPI (single line) mode. @var{mass_erase_cmd}, @var{sector_size}
6138 and @var{sector_erase_cmd} are optional.
6139
6140 This command is required if chip id is not hardcoded yet and e.g. for EEPROMs or FRAMs
6141 which don't support an id command.
6142
6143 In dual mode parameters of both chips are set identically. The parameters refer to
6144 a single chip, so the whole bank gets twice the specified capacity etc.
6145 @end deffn
6146
6147 @deffn {Command} {stmqspi cmd} bank_id resp_num cmd_byte ...
6148 If @var{resp_num} is zero, sends command @var{cmd_byte} and following data
6149 bytes. In dual mode command byte is sent to @emph{both} chips but data bytes are
6150 sent @emph{alternatingly} to chip 1 and 2, first to flash 1, second to flash 2, etc.,
6151 i.e. the total number of bytes (including cmd_byte) must be odd.
6152
6153 If @var{resp_num} is not zero, cmd and at most four following data bytes are
6154 sent, in dual mode @emph{simultaneously} to both chips. Then @var{resp_num} bytes
6155 are read interleaved from both chips starting with chip 1. In this case
6156 @var{resp_num} must be even.
6157
6158 Note the hardware dictated subtle difference of those two cases in dual-flash mode.
6159
6160 To check basic communication settings, issue
6161 @example
6162 stmqspi cmd bank_id 0 0x04; stmqspi cmd bank_id 1 0x05
6163 stmqspi cmd bank_id 0 0x06; stmqspi cmd bank_id 1 0x05

6168 stmqspi cmd bank_id 0 0x06; stmqspi cmd bank_id 2 0x05
6169 @end example
6170 for dual flash mode. This should return the status register contents.
6171
6172 In 8-line mode, @var{cmd_byte} is sent twice - first time as given, second time
6173 complemented. Additionally, in 8-line mode only, some commands (e.g. Read Status)
6174 need a dummy address, e.g.

6200 Members of ATH79 SoC family from Atheros include a SPI interface with 3

6202 On reset a SPI flash connected to the first chip select (CS0) is made
6203 directly read-accessible in the CPU address space (up to 16MBytes)
6204 and is usually used to store the bootloader and operating system.
6205 Normal OpenOCD commands like @command{mdw} can be used to display
6206 the flash content while it is in memory-mapped mode (only the first
6207 4MBytes are accessible without additional configuration on reset).
6208
6209 The setup command only requires the @var{base} parameter in order
6210 to identify the memory bank. The actual value for the base address
6211 is not otherwise used by the driver. However the mapping is passed
6212 to gdb. Thus for the memory mapped flash (chipselect CS0) the base
6213 address should be the actual memory mapped base address. For unmapped
6214 chipselects (CS1 and CS2) care should be taken to use a base address
6215 that does not overlap with real memory regions.
6216 Additional information, like flash size, are detected automatically.
6217 An optional additional parameter sets the chipselect for the bank,
6218 with the default CS0.
6219 CS1 and CS2 require additional GPIO setup before they can be used

6251 include internal flash and use ARM7TDMI cores.
6252 The aduc702x flash driver works with models ADUC7019 through ADUC7028.
6253 The setup command only requires the @var{target} argument
6254 since all devices in this family have the same memory layout.

6263 @cindex apollo
6264 All members of the Apollo microcontroller family from
6265 Ambiq Micro include internal flash and use ARM's Cortex-M4 core.
6266 The host connects over USB to an FTDI interface that communicates
6267 with the target using SWD.
6268
6269 The @var{ambiqmicro} driver reads the Chip Information Register detect
6270 the device class of the MCU.
6271 The Flash and SRAM sizes directly follow device class, and are used
6272 to set up the flash banks.
6273 If this fails, the driver will use default values set to the minimum
6274 sizes of an Apollo chip.
6275
6276 All Apollo chips have two flash banks of the same size.
6277 In all cases the first flash bank starts at location 0,
6278 and the second bank starts after the first.
6279
6280 @example
6281 # Flash bank 0
6282 flash bank $_FLASHNAME ambiqmicro 0 0x00040000 0 0 $_TARGETNAME
6283 # Flash bank 1 - same size as bank0, starts after bank 0.
6284 flash bank $_FLASHNAME ambiqmicro 0x00040000 0x00040000 0 0 \
6285 $_TARGETNAME
6286 @end example
6287
6288 Flash is programmed using custom entry points into the bootloader.
6289 This is the only way to program the flash as no flash control registers
6290 are available to the user.
6291
6292 The @var{ambiqmicro} driver adds some additional commands:
6293
6294 @deffn {Command} {ambiqmicro mass_erase} <bank>
6295 Erase entire bank.

6299 @end deffn
6300 @deffn {Command} {ambiqmicro program_otp} <bank> <offset> <count>
6301 Program OTP is a one time operation to create write protected flash.
6302 The user writes sectors to SRAM starting at 0x10000010.
6303 Program OTP will write these sectors from SRAM to flash, and write protect
6304 the flash.

6327 @deffn {Command} {at91samd set-security}
6328 Secures the Flash via the Set Security Bit (SSB) command. This prevents access
6329 to the Flash and can only be undone by using the chip-erase command which
6330 erases the Flash contents and turns off the security bit. Warning: at this
6331 time, openocd will not be able to communicate with a secured chip and it is
6332 therefore not possible to chip-erase it without using another tool.

6399 All members of the AT91SAM3 microcontroller family from
6400 Atmel include internal flash and use ARM's Cortex-M3 core. The driver
6401 currently (6/22/09) recognizes the AT91SAM3U[1/2/4][C/E] chips. Note
6402 that the driver was orginaly developed and tested using the
6403 AT91SAM3U4E, using a SAM3U-EK eval board. Support for other chips in
6404 the family was cribbed from the data sheet. @emph{Note to future

6407
6408 The AT91SAM3U4[E/C] (256K) chips have two flash banks; most other chips
6409 have one flash bank. In all cases the flash banks are at
6410 the following fixed locations:

6592 It is recommended that you provide zeroes for all of those values

6595 Knowing the frequency helps ensure correct timings for flash access.
6596
6597 The flash controller handles erases automatically on a page (128/256 byte)
6598 basis, so explicit erase commands are not necessary for flash programming.
6599 However, there is an ``EraseAll`` command that can erase an entire flash
6600 plane (of up to 256KB), and it will be used automatically when you issue

6752 Kx, KLx, KVx and KE1x members of the Kinetis microcontroller family
6753 from NXP (former Freescale) include
6754 internal flash and use ARM Cortex-M0+ or M4 cores. The driver automatically
6755 recognizes flash size and a number of flash banks (1-4) using the chip
6756 identification register, and autoconfigures itself.
6757 Use kinetis_ke driver for KE0x and KEAx devices.
6758
6759 The @var{kinetis} driver defines option:
6760 @itemize

6776 @option{protection} mode builds FCF content from protection bits previously
6777 set by 'flash protect' command.
6778 This mode is default. MCU is protected from unwanted locking by immediate
6779 writing FCF after erase of relevant sector.
6780 @option{write} mode enables direct write to FCF.
6781 Protection cannot be set by 'flash protect' command. FCF is written along
6782 with the rest of a flash image.

6882
6883 @quotation Note
6884 There are LPC2000 devices which are not supported by the @var{lpc2000}
6885 driver:
6886 The LPC2888 is supported by the @var{lpc288x} driver.
6887 The LPC29xx family is supported by the @var{lpc2900} driver.
6888 @end quotation
6889
6890 The @var{lpc2000} driver defines two mandatory and two optional parameters,
6891 which must appear in the following order:
6892
6893 @itemize
6894 @item @var{variant} ... required, may be
6895 @option{lpc2000_v1} (older LPC21xx and LPC22xx)
6896 @option{lpc2000_v2} (LPC213x, LPC214x, LPC210[123], LPC23xx and LPC24xx)
6897 @option{lpc1700} (LPC175x and LPC176x and LPC177x/8x)
6898 @option{lpc4300} - available also as @option{lpc1800} alias (LPC18x[2357] and

6905 or @option{auto} - automatically detects flash variant and size for LPC11(x)00,
6906 LPC8xx, LPC13xx, LPC17xx, LPC40xx, LPC8Nxx and NHS31xx
6907 @item @var{clock_kHz} ... the frequency, in kiloHertz,
6908 at which the core is running
6909 @item @option{calc_checksum} ... optional (but you probably want to provide this!),
6910 telling the driver to calculate a valid checksum for the exception vector table.
6911 @quotation Note
6912 If you don't provide @option{calc_checksum} when you're writing the vector
6913 table, the boot ROM will almost certainly ignore your flash image.
6914 However, if you do provide it,
6915 with most tool chains @command{verify_image} will fail.

6918 ROM IAP entry point.
6919 @end itemize
6920
6921 LPC flashes don't require the chip and bus width to be specified.
6922
6923 @example
6924 flash bank $_FLASHNAME lpc2000 0x0 0x7d000 0 0 $_TARGETNAME \

6932 @end deffn
6933
6934 @deffn {Flash Driver} {lpc288x}
6935 The LPC2888 microcontroller from NXP needs slightly different flash
6936 support from its lpc2000 siblings.
6937 The @var{lpc288x} driver defines one mandatory parameter,
6938 the programming clock rate in Hz.
6939 LPC flashes don't require the chip and bus width to be specified.
6940
6941 @example
6942 flash bank $_FLASHNAME lpc288x 0 0 0 0 $_TARGETNAME 12000000
6943 @end example
6944 @end deffn
6945
6946 @deffn {Flash Driver} {lpc2900}
6947 This driver supports the LPC29xx ARM968E based microcontroller family
6948 from NXP.
6949
6950 The predefined parameters @var{base}, @var{size}, @var{chip_width} and
6951 @var{bus_width} of the @code{flash bank} command are ignored. Flash size and
6952 sector layout are auto-configured by the driver.
6953 The driver has one additional mandatory parameter: The CPU clock rate
6954 (in kHz) at the time the flash operations will take place. Most of the time this
6955 will not be the crystal frequency, but a higher PLL frequency. The
6956 @code{reset-init} event handler in the board script is usually the place where
6957 you start the PLL.
6958
6959 The driver rejects flashless devices (currently the LPC2930).
6960
6961 The EEPROM in LPC2900 devices is not mapped directly into the address space.
6962 It must be handled much more like NAND flash memory, and will therefore be
6963 handled by a separate @code{lpc2900_eeprom} driver (not yet available).
6964
6965 Sector protection in terms of the LPC2900 is handled transparently. Every time a
6966 sector needs to be erased or programmed, it is automatically unprotected.
6967 What is shown as protection status in the @code{flash info} command, is
6968 actually the LPC2900 @emph{sector security}. This is a mechanism to prevent a
6969 sector from ever being erased or programmed again. As this is an irreversible
6970 mechanism, it is handled by a special command (@code{lpc2900 secure_sector}),
6971 and not by the standard @code{flash protect} command.
6972
6973 Example for a 125 MHz clock frequency:
6974 @example
6975 flash bank $_FLASHNAME lpc2900 0 0 0 0 $_TARGETNAME 125000
6976 @end example
6977
6978 Some @code{lpc2900}-specific commands are defined. In the following command list,
6979 the @var{bank} parameter is the bank number as obtained by the
6980 @code{flash banks} command.
6981
6982 @deffn {Command} {lpc2900 signature} bank
6983 Calculates a 128-bit hash value, the @emph{signature}, from the whole flash
6984 content. This is a hardware feature of the flash block, hence the calculation is
6985 very fast. You may use this to verify the content of a programmed device against
6986 a known signature.
6987 Example:
6988 @example
6989 lpc2900 signature 0
6990 signature: 0x5f40cdc8:0xc64e592e:0x10490f89:0x32a0f317
6991 @end example
6992 @end deffn
6993
6994 @deffn {Command} {lpc2900 read_custom} bank filename
6995 Reads the 912 bytes of customer information from the flash index sector, and
6996 saves it to a file in binary format.
6997 Example:
6998 @example
6999 lpc2900 read_custom 0 /path_to/customer_info.bin
7000 @end example
7001 @end deffn
7002
7003 The index sector of the flash is a @emph{write-only} sector. It cannot be
7004 erased! In order to guard against unintentional write access, all following
7005 commands need to be preceded by a successful call to the @code{password}
7006 command:
7007
7008 @deffn {Command} {lpc2900 password} bank password
7009 You need to use this command right before each of the following commands:
7010 @code{lpc2900 write_custom}, @code{lpc2900 secure_sector},
7011 @code{lpc2900 secure_jtag}.
7012
7013 The password string is fixed to "I_know_what_I_am_doing".
7014 Example:
7015 @example
7016 lpc2900 password 0 I_know_what_I_am_doing
7017 Potentially dangerous operation allowed in next command!
7018 @end example
7019 @end deffn
7020
7021 @deffn {Command} {lpc2900 write_custom} bank filename type
7022 Writes the content of the file into the customer info space of the flash index
7023 sector. The filetype can be specified with the @var{type} field. Possible values
7024 for @var{type} are: @var{bin} (binary), @var{ihex} (Intel hex format),
7025 @var{elf} (ELF binary) or @var{s19} (Motorola S-records). The file must
7026 contain a single section, and the contained data length must be exactly
7027 912 bytes.

7375
7376 Flash in PSoC6 is split into three regions:
7377 @itemize @bullet
7378 @item Main Flash - this is the main storage for user application.
7379 Total size varies among devices, sector size: 256 kBytes, row size:
7380 512 bytes. Supports erase operation on individual rows.
7381 @item Work Flash - intended to be used as storage for user data
7382 (e.g. EEPROM emulation). Total size: 32 KBytes, sector size: 32 KBytes,
7383 row size: 512 bytes.
7384 @item Supervisory Flash - special region which contains device-specific
7385 service data. This region does not support erase operation. Only few rows can
7386 be programmed by the user, most of the rows are read only. Programming
7387 operation will erase row automatically.
7388 @end itemize

7390 All three flash regions are supported by the driver. Flash geometry is detected

7439 @deffn {Flash Driver} {qn908x}
7440 The NXP QN908x microcontrollers feature a Cortex-M4F with integrated Bluetooth
7441 LE 5 support and an internal flash of up to 512 KiB. These chips only support
7442 the SWD interface.
7443
7444 The @var{qn908x} driver uses the internal "Flash Memory Controller" block via
7445 SWD to erase, program and read the internal flash. This driver does not
7446 support the ISP (In-System Programming) mode which is an alternate way to
7447 program the flash via UART, SPI or USB.
7448
7449 The internal flash is 512 KiB in size in all released chips and it starts at
7450 the address 0x01000000, although it can be mapped to address 0 and it is
7451 aliased to other addresses. This driver only recognizes the bank starting at
7452 address 0x01000000.
7453
7454 The internal bootloader stored in ROM is in charge of loading and verifying
7455 the image from flash, or enter ISP mode. The programmed image must start at
7456 the beginning of the flash and contain a valid header and a matching CRC32
7457 checksum. Additionally, the image header contains a "Code Read Protection"
7458 (CRP) word which indicates whether SWD access is enabled, as well as whether
7459 ISP mode is enabled. Therefore, it is possible to program an image that
7460 disables SWD and ISP making it impossible to program another image in the
7461 future through these interfaces, or even debug the current image. While this is
7462 a valid use case for production deployments where the chips are locked down, by
7463 default this driver doesn't allow such images that disable the SWD interface.
7464 To program such images see the @command{qn908x allow_brick} command.
7465
7466 Apart from the CRP field which is located in the image header, the last page
7467 of the flash memory contains a "Flash lock and protect" descriptor which allows
7468 to individually protect each 2 KiB page, as well as disabling SWD access to the
7469 flash and RAM. If this access is disabled it is not possible to read, erase or
7470 program individual pages from the SWD interface or even access the read-only
7471 "Flash information page" with information about the bootloader version and
7472 flash size. However when this protection is in place, it is still possible to
7473 mass erase the whole chip and then program a new image, for which you can use
7474 the @command{qn908x mass_erase}.
7475
7476 Example:
7477 @example
7478 flash bank $FLASHNAME qn908x 0x01000000 0 0 0 $TARGETNAME calc_checksum
7479 @end example
7480
7481 Parameters:
7482 @itemize
7483 @item @option{calc_checksum} optional parameter to compute the required
7484 checksum of the first bytes in the vector table.
7485 @quotation Note
7486 If the checksum in the header of your image is invalid and you don't provide the
7487 @option{calc_checksum} option the boot ROM will not boot your image and it may
7488 render the flash inaccessible. On the other hand, if you use this option to
7489 compute the checksum keep in mind that @command{verify_image} will fail on
7490 those four bytes of the checksum since those bytes in the flash will have the
7491 updated checksum.
7492 @end quotation
7493 @end itemize
7494
7495 @deffn {Command} {qn908x allow_brick}
7496 Allow the qn908x driver to program images with a "Code Read Protection" byte
7497 that disables the SWD access. Programming such image will cause OpenOCD to
7498 not be able to reach the target over SWD anymore after the new image is
7499 programmed and its configuration takes effect, e.g. after a reboot. After
7500 executing @command{qn908x allow_brick} these images will be allowed to be
7501 programmed when writing to the flash.
7502 @end deffn
7503
7504 @deffn {Command} {qn908x disable_wdog}
7505 Disable the watchdog timer (WDT) by resetting its CTRL field. The WDT starts
7506 enabled after a @command{reset halt} and it doesn't run while the target is
7507 halted. However, the verification process in this driver uses the generic
7508 Cortex-M verification process which executes a payload in RAM and thus
7509 requires the watchdog to be disabled before running @command{verify_image}
7510 after a reset halt or any other condition where the watchdog is running.
7511 Note that this is not done automatically and you must run this command in
7512 those scenarios.
7513 @end deffn
7514
7515 @deffn {Command} {qn908x mass_erase}
7516 Erases the complete flash using the mass_erase method. Mass erase is only
7517 allowed if enabled in the Lock Status Register 8 (LOCK_STAT_8) which is read
7518 from the last sector of the flash on boot. However, this mass_erase lock
7519 protection can be bypassed and this command does so automatically.
7520
7521 In the same LOCK_STAT_8 the flash and RAM access from SWD can be disabled by
7522 setting two bits in this register. After a mass_erase, all the bits of the
7523 flash would be set, making it the default to restrict SWD access to the flash
7524 and RAM regions. This new after erase LOCK_STAT_8 value only takes effect after
7525 being read from flash on the next reboot for example. After a mass_erase the
7526 LOCK_STAT_8 register is changed by the hardware to allow access to flash and
7527 RAM regardless of the value on flash, but only right after a mass_erase and
7528 until the next boot. Therefore it is possible to perform a mass_erase, program
7529 a new image, verify it and then reboot to a valid image that's locked from the
7530 SWD access.
7531
7532 The @command{qn908x mass_erase} command clears the bits that would be loaded
7533 from the flash into LOCK_STAT_8 after erasing the whole chip to allow SWD
7534 access for debugging or re-flashing an image without a mass_erase by default.
7535 If the image being programmed also programs the last page of the flash with its
7536 own settings, this mass_erase behavior will interfere with that write since a
7537 new erase of at least the last page would need to be performed before writing
7538 to it again. For this reason the optional @option{keep_lock} argument can be
7539 used to leave the flash and RAM lock set. For development environments, the
7540 default behavior is desired.
7541
7542 The mass erase locking mechanism is independent from the individual page
7543 locking bits, so it is possible that you can't erase a given page that is
7544 locked and you can't unprotect that page because the locking bits are also
7545 locked, but can still mass erase the whole flash.

7637 families from GigaDevice include internal flash and use ARM Cortex-M0/M3/M4/M23 cores.
7638 The driver also works with GD32VF103 powered by RISC-V core.
7639 The driver automatically recognizes a number of these chips using

7943 is the register offset of the Option byte to write, and @var{reg_mask} is the mask
7944 to apply when writing the register (only bits with a '1' will be touched).
7945
7946 @emph{Note:} To apply the option bytes change immediately, use @command{stm32l4x option_load}.
7947
7948 For example to write the WRP1AR option bytes:
7949 @example
7950 stm32l4x option_write 0 0x28 0x00FF0000 0x00FF00FF
7951 @end example

7954 Area A for bank 1. The above example set WRP1AR_END=255, WRP1AR_START=0.
7955 This will effectively write protect all sectors in flash bank 1.

7965 Devices supported in this flash driver, can have main flash memory organized
7966 in single or dual-banks mode.

8031 Only use this driver for locking/unlocking the device or configuring the option bytes.
8032 Use the standard str9 driver for programming.
8033 Before using the flash commands the turbo mode must be enabled using the
8034 @command{str9xpec enable_turbo} command.
8035
8036 Here is some background info to help
8037 you better understand how this driver works. OpenOCD has two flash drivers for
8038 the str9:
8039 @enumerate
8040 @item
8041 Standard driver @option{str9x} programmed via the str9 core. Normally used for
8042 flash programming as it is faster than the @option{str9xpec} driver.
8043 @item
8044 Direct programming @option{str9xpec} using the flash controller. This is an
8045 ISC compliant (IEEE 1532) tap connected in series with the str9 core. The str9
8046 core does not need to be running to program using this flash driver. Typical use
8047 for this driver is locking/unlocking the target and programming the option bytes.
8048 @end enumerate
8049
8050 Before we run any commands using the @option{str9xpec} driver we must first disable
8051 the str9 core. This example assumes the @option{str9xpec} driver has been
8052 configured for flash bank 0.
8053 @example
8054 # assert srst, we do not want core running
8055 # while accessing str9xpec flash driver
8056 adapter assert srst
8057 # turn off target polling
8058 poll off
8059 # disable str9 core
8060 str9xpec enable_turbo 0
8061 # read option bytes
8062 str9xpec options_read 0
8063 # re-enable str9 core
8064 str9xpec disable_turbo 0
8065 poll on
8066 reset halt
8067 @end example
8068 The above example will read the str9 option bytes.
8069 When performing a unlock remember that you will not be able to halt the str9 - it
8070 has been locked. Halting the core is not required for the @option{str9xpec} driver
8071 as mentioned above, just issue the commands above manually or from a telnet prompt.
8072
8073 Several str9xpec-specific commands are defined:
8074
8075 @deffn {Command} {str9xpec disable_turbo} num
8076 Restore the str9 into JTAG chain.
8077 @end deffn
8078

8193 @section NAND Flash Commands
8194 @cindex NAND
8195
8196 Compared to NOR or SPI flash, NAND devices are inexpensive
8197 and high density. Today's NAND chips, and multi-chip modules,
8198 commonly hold multiple GigaBytes of data.
8199
8200 NAND chips consist of a number of ``erase blocks'' of a given
8201 size (such as 128 KBytes), each of which is divided into a
8202 number of pages (of perhaps 512 or 2048 bytes each). Each
8203 page of a NAND flash has an ``out of band'' (OOB) area to hold
8204 Error Correcting Code (ECC) and other metadata, usually 16 bytes
8205 of OOB for every 512 bytes of page data.
8206
8207 One key characteristic of NAND flash is that its error rate
8208 is higher than that of NOR flash. In normal operation, that
8209 ECC is used to correct and detect errors. However, NAND
8210 blocks can also wear out and become unusable; those blocks
8211 are then marked "bad". NAND chips are even shipped from the
8212 manufacturer with a few bad blocks. The highest density chips
8213 use a technology (MLC) that wears out more quickly, so ECC
8214 support is increasingly important as a way to detect blocks
8215 that have begun to fail, and help to preserve data integrity
8216 with techniques such as wear leveling.
8217
8218 Software is used to manage the ECC. Some controllers don't
8219 support ECC directly; in those cases, software ECC is used.
8220 Other controllers speed up the ECC calculations with hardware.
8221 Single-bit error correction hardware is routine. Controllers
8222 geared for newer MLC chips may correct 4 or more errors for
8223 every 512 bytes of data.
8224
8225 You will need to make sure that any data you write using
8226 OpenOCD includes the appropriate kind of ECC. For example,
8227 that may mean passing the @code{oob_softecc} flag when
8228 writing NAND data, or ensuring that the correct hardware
8229 ECC mode is used.
8230
8231 The basic steps for using NAND devices include:
8232 @enumerate
8233 @item Declare via the command @command{nand device}
8234 @* Do this in a board-specific configuration file,
8235 passing parameters as needed by the controller.
8236 @item Configure each device using @command{nand probe}.
8237 @* Do this only after the associated target is set up,
8238 such as in its reset-init script or in procures defined
8239 to access that device.
8240 @item Operate on the flash via @command{nand subcommand}
8241 @* Often commands to manipulate the flash are typed by a human, or run
8242 via a script in some automated way. Common task include writing a
8243 boot loader, operating system, or other data needed to initialize or
8244 de-brick a board.
8245 @end enumerate
8246
8247 @b{NOTE:} At the time this text was written, the largest NAND
8248 flash fully supported by OpenOCD is 2 GiBytes (16 GiBits).
8249 This is because the variables used to hold offsets and lengths
8250 are only 32 bits wide.
8251 (Larger chips may work in some cases, unless an offset or length
8252 is larger than 0xffffffff, the largest 32-bit unsigned integer.)
8253 Some larger devices will work, since they are actually multi-chip
8254 modules with two smaller chips and individual chipselect lines.

8265 Declares a NAND device, which can be read and written to

8267 In OpenOCD, devices are single chips; this is unlike some
8268 operating systems, which may manage multiple chips as if
8269 they were a single (larger) device.
8270 In some cases, configuring a device will activate extra
8271 commands; see the controller-specific documentation.

8484 This flag is cleared (disabled) by default, but changing that

8621 @chapter Flash Programming
8622
8623 OpenOCD implements numerous ways to program the target flash, whether internal or external.
8624 Programming can be achieved by either using @ref{programmingusinggdb,,Programming using GDB},
8625 or using the commands given in @ref{flashprogrammingcommands,,Flash Programming Commands}.
8626
8627 @*To simplify using the flash commands directly a jimtcl script is available that handles the programming and verify stage.
8628 OpenOCD will program/verify/reset the target and optionally shutdown.
8629
8630 The script is executed as follows and by default the following actions will be performed.
8631 @enumerate
8632 @item 'init' is executed.
8633 @item 'reset init' is called to reset and halt the target, any 'reset init' scripts are executed.
8634 @item @code{flash write_image} is called to erase and write any flash using the filename given.
8635 @item If the @option{preverify} parameter is given, the target is "verified" first and only flashed if this fails.
8636 @item @code{verify_image} is called if @option{verify} parameter is given.
8637 @item @code{reset run} is called if @option{reset} parameter is given.
8638 @item OpenOCD is shutdown if @option{exit} parameter is given.
8639 @end enumerate
8640
8641 An example of usage is given below. @xref{program}.

8658
8659 Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs) and the more flexible
8660 Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are both types of programmable hardware.
8661 OpenOCD can support programming them.
8662 Although PLDs are generally restrictive (cells are less functional, and
8663 there are no special purpose cells for memory or computational tasks),
8664 they share the same OpenOCD infrastructure.
8665 Accordingly, both are called PLDs here.
8666
8667 @section PLD/FPGA Configuration and Commands
8668
8669 As it does for JTAG TAPs, debug targets, and flash chips (both NOR and NAND),
8670 OpenOCD maintains a list of PLDs available for use in various commands.
8671 Also, each such PLD requires a driver.
8672
8673 They are referenced by the name which was given when the pld was created or
8674 the number shown by the @command{pld devices} command.
8675 New PLDs are defined by @command{pld create pld_name driver_name -chain-position tap_name [driver_options]}.
8676
8677 @deffn {Config Command} {pld create} pld_name driver_name -chain-position tap_name [driver_options]
8678 Creates a new PLD device, supported by driver @var{driver_name},
8679 assigning @var{pld_name} for further reference.
8680 @code{-chain-position} @var{tap_name} names the TAP
8681 used to access this target.
8682 The driver may make use of any @var{driver_options} to configure its behavior.

8701 Virtex-II is a family of FPGAs sold by Xilinx.
8702 This driver can also be used to load Series3, Series6, Series7 and Zynq 7000 devices.
8703 It supports the IEEE 1532 standard for In-System Configuration (ISC).
8704
8705 If @var{-no_jstart} is given, the JSTART instruction is not used after

8844 Intent:
8845 @itemize @bullet
8846 @item @b{Source Of Commands}
8847 @* OpenOCD commands can occur in a configuration script (discussed

8849 or via one of several TCP/IP Ports.
8850
8851 @item @b{From the human}
8852 @* A human should interact with the telnet interface (default port: 4444)
8853 or via GDB (default port 3333).
8854
8855 To issue commands from within a GDB session, use the @option{monitor}
8856 command, e.g. use @option{monitor poll} to issue the @option{poll}
8857 command. All output is relayed through the GDB session.
8858

8897 @deffn {Command} {shutdown} [@option{error}]
8898 Close the OpenOCD server, disconnecting all clients (GDB, telnet,
8899 other). If option @option{error} is used, OpenOCD will return a
8900 non-zero exit code to the parent process.
8901
8902 If user types CTRL-C or kills OpenOCD, the command @command{shutdown}
8903 will be automatically executed to cause OpenOCD to exit.
8904
8905 It is possible to specify, in the TCL list @var{pre_shutdown_commands} , a
8906 set of commands to be automatically executed before @command{shutdown} , e.g.:

8910 @end example
8911 The commands in the list will be executed (in the same order they occupy
8912 in the list) before OpenOCD exits. If one of the commands in the list

8961 @cindex halt
8962 @cindex target initialization
8963
8964 In this section ``target'' refers to a CPU configured as
8965 shown earlier (@pxref{CPU Configuration}).
8966 These commands, like many, implicitly refer to
8967 a current target which is used to perform the
8968 various operations. The current target may be changed
8969 by using @command{targets} command with the name of the
8970 target which should become current.
8971
8972 @deffn {Command} {reg} [(number|name) [(value|'force')]]
8973 Access a single register by @var{number} or by its @var{name}.
8974 The target must generally be halted before access to CPU core
8975 registers is allowed. Depending on the hardware, some other
8976 registers may be accessible while the target is running.
8977
8978 @emph{With no arguments}:
8979 list all available registers for the current target,
8980 showing number, name, size, value, and cache status.
8981 For valid entries, a value is shown; valid entries
8982 which are also dirty (and will be written back later)
8983 are flagged as such.
8984
8985 @emph{With number/name}: display that register's value.
8986 Use @var{force} argument to read directly from the target,
8987 bypassing any internal cache.
8988
8989 @emph{With both number/name and value}: set register's value.
8990 Writes may be held in a writeback cache internal to OpenOCD,
8991 so that setting the value marks the register as dirty instead
8992 of immediately flushing that value. Resuming CPU execution
8993 (including by single stepping) or otherwise activating the
8994 relevant module will flush such values.
8995
8996 Cores may have surprisingly many registers in their
8997 Debug and trace infrastructure:
8998
8999 @example
9000 > reg
9001 ===== ARM registers
9002 (0) r0 (/32): 0x0000D3C2 (dirty)
9003 (1) r1 (/32): 0xFD61F31C
9004 (2) r2 (/32)

9013
9014 @itemize
9015 @item @var{dict} ... Tcl dictionary with pairs of register names and values.
9016 @end itemize
9017
9018 For example, the following command sets the value 0 to the program counter (pc)
9019 register and 0x1000 to the stack pointer (sp) register:
9020
9021 @example
9022 set_reg @{pc 0 sp 0x1000@}
9023 @end example
9024 @end deffn
9025
9026 @deffn {Command} {get_reg} [-force] list
9027 Get register values from the target and return them as Tcl dictionary with pairs
9028 of register names and values.
9029 If option "-force" is set, the register values are read directly from the
9030 target, bypassing any caching.
9031
9032 @itemize
9033 @item @var{list} ... List of register names
9034 @end itemize

9083 @deffn {Command} {halt} [ms]
9084 @deffnx {Command} {wait_halt} [ms]
9085 The @command{halt} command first sends a halt request to the target,
9086 which @command{wait_halt} doesn't.
9087 Otherwise these behave the same: wait up to @var{ms} milliseconds,
9088 or 5 seconds if there is no parameter, for the target to halt
9089 (and enter debug mode).
9090 Using 0 as the @var{ms} parameter prevents OpenOCD from waiting.
9091
9092 @quotation Warning
9093 On ARM cores, software using the @emph{wait for interrupt} operation
9094 often blocks the JTAG access needed by a @command{halt} command.
9095 This is because that operation also puts the core into a low
9096 power mode by gating the core clock;
9097 but the core clock is needed to detect JTAG clock transitions.
9098
9099 One partial workaround uses adaptive clocking: when the core is
9100 interrupted the operation completes, then JTAG clocks are accepted
9101 at least until the interrupt handler completes.
9102 However, this workaround is often unusable since the processor, board,
9103 and JTAG adapter must all support adaptive JTAG clocking.
9104 Also, it can't work until an interrupt is issued.
9105
9106 A more complete workaround is to not use that operation while you
9107 work with a JTAG debugger.
9108 Tasking environments generally have idle loops where the body is the
9109 @emph{wait for interrupt} operation.
9110 (On older cores, it is a coprocessor action;
9111 newer cores have a @option{wfi} instruction.)
9112 Such loops can just remove that operation, at the cost of higher
9113 power consumption (because the CPU is needlessly clocked).

9176 TRST is specially handled.

9179 or it doesn't support it along with the specified SRST value,
9180 JTAG reset is triggered with TMS and TCK signals
9181 instead of the TRST signal.

9345 Real Time Transfer (RTT) is an interface specified by SEGGER based on basic
9346 memory reads and writes to transfer data bidirectionally between target and host.
9347 The specification is independent of the target architecture.
9348 Every target that supports so called "background memory access", which means
9349 that the target memory can be accessed by the debugger while the target is
9350 running, can be used.
9351 This interface is especially of interest for targets without
9352 Serial Wire Output (SWO), such as ARM Cortex-M0, or where semihosting is not
9353 applicable because of real-time constraints.
9354

9356 The current implementation supports only single target devices.
9357 @end quotation

9475
9476 CPUs based on ARM cores may include standard tracing interfaces,
9477 based on an ``Embedded Trace Module'' (ETM) which sends voluminous
9478 address and data bus trace records to a ``Trace Port''.
9479
9480 @itemize
9481 @item
9482 Development-oriented boards will sometimes provide a high speed
9483 trace connector for collecting that data, when the particular CPU
9484 supports such an interface.
9485 (The standard connector is a 38-pin Mictor, with both JTAG
9486 and trace port support.)
9487 Those trace connectors are supported by higher end JTAG adapters
9488 and some logic analyzer modules; frequently those modules can
9489 buffer several megabytes of trace data.
9490 Configuring an ETM coupled to such an external trace port belongs
9491 in the board-specific configuration file.
9492 @item
9493 If the CPU doesn't provide an external interface, it probably
9494 has an ``Embedded Trace Buffer'' (ETB) on the chip, which is a
9495 dedicated SRAM. 4KBytes is one common ETB size.
9496 Configuring an ETM coupled only to an ETB belongs in the CPU-specific
9497 (target) configuration file, since it works the same on all boards.
9498 @end itemize
9499
9500 ETM support in OpenOCD doesn't seem to be widely used yet.
9501
9502 @quotation Issues
9503 ETM support may be buggy, and at least some @command{etm config}
9504 parameters should be detected by asking the ETM for them.
9505
9506 ETM trigger events could also implement a kind of complex
9507 hardware breakpoint, much more powerful than the simple
9508 watchpoint hardware exported by EmbeddedICE modules.
9509 @emph{Such breakpoints can be triggered even when using the
9510 dummy trace port driver}.
9511
9512 It seems like a GDB hookup should be possible,
9513 as well as tracing only during specific states
9514 (perhaps @emph{handling IRQ 23} or @emph{calls foo()}).
9515
9516 There should be GUI tools to manipulate saved trace data and help
9517 analyse it in conjunction with the source code.
9518 It's unclear how much of a common interface is shared
9519 with the current XScale trace support, or should be
9520 shared with eventual Nexus-style trace module support.
9521
9522 At this writing (November 2009) only ARM7, ARM9, and ARM11 support
9523 for ETM modules is available. The code should be able to
9524 work with some newer cores; but not all of them support
9525 this original style of JTAG access.

9531 @deffn {Config Command} {etm config} target width mode clocking driver
9532 Declares the ETM associated with @var{target}, and associates it
9533 with a given trace port @var{driver}. @xref{traceportdrivers,,Trace Port Drivers}.
9534
9535 Several of the parameters must reflect the trace port capabilities,
9536 which are a function of silicon capabilities (exposed later
9537 using @command{etm info}) and of what hardware is connected to
9538 that port (such as an external pod, or ETB).
9539 The @var{width} must be either 4, 8, or 16,
9540 except with ETMv3.0 and newer modules which may also
9541 support 1, 2, 24, 32, 48, and 64 bit widths.
9542 (With those versions, @command{etm info} also shows whether
9543 the selected port width and mode are supported.)
9544
9545 The @var{mode} must be @option{normal}, @option{multiplexed},
9546 or @option{demultiplexed}.
9547 The @var{clocking} must be @option{half} or @option{full}.
9548
9549 @quotation Warning
9550 With ETMv3.0 and newer, the bits set with the @var{mode} and
9551 @var{clocking} parameters both control the mode.
9552 This modified mode does not map to the values supported by
9553 previous ETM modules, so this syntax is subject to change.
9554 @end quotation
9555
9556 @quotation Note
9557 You can see the ETM registers using the @command{reg} command.
9558 Not all possible registers are present in every ETM.

9571 @deffn {Command} {etm status}
9572 Displays status of the current target's ETM and trace port driver:
9573 is the ETM idle, or is it collecting data?

9604 enabled or disabled, after optionally modifying that configuration.
9605 The default behaviour is @option{disable}.
9606 Any change takes effect after the next @command{etm start}.
9607
9608 By using script commands to configure ETM registers, you can make the

9611 @end deffn
9612
9613 @subsection ETM Trace Operation
9614
9615 After setting up the ETM, you can use it to collect data.
9616 That data can be exported to files for later analysis.
9617 It can also be parsed with OpenOCD, for basic sanity checking.
9618
9619 To configure what is being traced, you will need to write
9620 various trace registers using @command{reg ETM_*} commands.
9621 For the definitions of these registers, read ARM publication
9622 @emph{IHI 0014, ``Embedded Trace Macrocell, Architecture Specification''}.
9623 Be aware that most of the relevant registers are write-only,
9624 and that ETM resources are limited. There are only a handful
9625 of address comparators, data comparators, counters, and so on.
9626
9627 Examples of scenarios you might arrange to trace include:
9628
9629 @itemize
9630 @item Code flow within a function, @emph{excluding} subroutines
9631 it calls. Use address range comparators to enable tracing
9632 for instruction access within that function's body.
9633 @item Code flow within a function, @emph{including} subroutines
9634 it calls. Use the sequencer and address comparators to activate
9635 tracing on an ``entered function'' state, then deactivate it by
9636 exiting that state when the function's exit code is invoked.
9637 @item Code flow starting at the fifth invocation of a function,
9638 combining one of the above models with a counter.
9639 @item CPU data accesses to the registers for a particular device,
9640 using address range comparators and the ViewData logic.
9641 @item Such data accesses only during IRQ handling, combining the above
9642 model with sequencer triggers which on entry and exit to the IRQ handler.
9643 @item @emph{... more}
9644 @end itemize
9645
9646 At this writing, September 2009, there are no Tcl utility
9647 procedures to help set up any common tracing scenarios.
9648
9649 @deffn {Command} {etm analyze}
9650 Reads trace data into memory, if it wasn't already present.
9651 Decodes and prints the data that was collected.
9652 @end deffn

9675 @subsection Trace Port Drivers
9676
9677 To use an ETM trace port it must be associated with a driver.
9678
9679 @deffn {Trace Port Driver} {dummy}
9680 Use the @option{dummy} driver if you are configuring an ETM that's
9681 not connected to anything (on-chip ETB or off-chip trace connector).
9682 @emph{This driver lets OpenOCD talk to the ETM, but it does not expose
9683 any trace data collection.}
9684 @deffn {Config Command} {etm_dummy config} target
9685 Associates the ETM for @var{target} with a dummy driver.
9686 @end deffn
9687 @end deffn
9688
9689 @deffn {Trace Port Driver} {etb}
9690 Use the @option{etb} driver if you are configuring an ETM
9691 to use on-chip ETB memory.
9692 @deffn {Config Command} {etb config} target etb_tap
9693 Associates the ETM for @var{target} with the ETB at @var{etb_tap}.
9694 You can see the ETB registers using the @command{reg} command.
9695 @end deffn
9696 @deffn {Command} {etb trigger_percent} [percent]
9697 This displays, or optionally changes, ETB behavior after the
9698 ETM's configured @emph{trigger} event fires.
9699 It controls how much more trace data is saved after the (single)
9700 trace trigger becomes active.
9701
9702 @itemize
9703 @item The default corresponds to @emph{trace around} usage,
9704 recording 50 percent data before the event and the rest
9705 afterwards.
9706 @item The minimum value of @var{percent} is 2 percent,
9707 recording almost exclusively data before the trigger.
9708 Such extreme @emph{trace before} usage can help figure out
9709 what caused that event to happen.
9710 @item The maximum value of @var{percent} is 100 percent,
9711 recording data almost exclusively after the event.
9712 This extreme @emph{trace after} usage might help sort out

9721 @section ARM Cross-Trigger Interface
9722 @cindex CTI
9723
9724 The ARM Cross-Trigger Interface (CTI) is a generic CoreSight component
9725 that connects event sources like tracing components or CPU cores with each
9726 other through a common trigger matrix (CTM). For ARMv8 architecture, a
9727 CTI is mandatory for core run control and each core has an individual
9728 CTI instance attached to it. OpenOCD has limited support for CTI using
9729 the @emph{cti} group of commands.
9730
9731 @deffn {Command} {cti create} cti_name @option{-dap} dap_name @option{-ap-num} apn @option{-baseaddr} base_address
9732 Creates a CTI instance @var{cti_name} on the DAP instance @var{dap_name} on MEM-AP
9733 @var{apn}.
9734 On ADIv5 DAP @var{apn} is the numeric index of the DAP AP the CTI is connected to.
9735 On ADIv6 DAP @var{apn} is the base address of the DAP AP the CTI is connected to.
9736 The @var{base_address} must match the base address of the CTI
9737 on the respective MEM-AP. All arguments are mandatory. This creates a
9738 new command @command{$cti_name} which is used for various purposes
9739 including additional configuration.
9740 @end deffn

9780 These commands should be available on all ARM processors.
9781 They are available in addition to other core-specific
9782 commands that may be available.
9783
9784 @deffn {Command} {arm core_state} [@option{arm}|@option{thumb}]
9785 Displays the core_state, optionally changing it to process
9786 either @option{arm} or @option{thumb} instructions.
9787 The target may later be resumed in the currently set core_state.
9788 (Processors may also support the Jazelle state, but
9789 that is not currently supported in OpenOCD.)
9790 @end deffn
9791
9792 @deffn {Command} {arm disassemble} address [count [@option{thumb}]]
9793 @cindex disassemble
9794 Disassembles @var{count} instructions starting at @var{address}.
9795 If @var{count} is not specified, a single instruction is disassembled.
9796 If @option{thumb} is specified, or the low bit of the address is set,
9797 Thumb2 (mixed 16/32-bit) instructions are used;
9798 else ARM (32-bit) instructions are used.
9799 (Processors may also support the Jazelle state, but
9800 those instructions are not currently understood by OpenOCD.)
9801
9802 Note that all Thumb instructions are Thumb2 instructions,
9803 so older processors (without Thumb2 support) will still
9804 see correct disassembly of Thumb code.
9805 Also, ThumbEE opcodes are the same as Thumb2,
9806 with a handful of exceptions.
9807 ThumbEE disassembly currently has no explicit support.
9808 @end deffn

9833 @deffn {Command} {arm semihosting} [@option{enable}|@option{disable}]
9834 @cindex ARM semihosting
9835 Display status of semihosting, after optionally changing that status.
9836
9837 Semihosting allows for code executing on an ARM target to use the
9838 I/O facilities on the host computer i.e. the system where OpenOCD
9839 is running. The target application must be linked against a library
9840 implementing the ARM semihosting convention that forwards operation
9841 requests by using a special SVC instruction that is trapped at the
9842 Supervisor Call vector by OpenOCD.
9843 @end deffn

9845 @deffn {Command} {arm semihosting_redirect} (@option{disable} | @option{tcp} <port> [@option{debug}|@option{stdio}|@option{all}])
9846 @cindex ARM semihosting
9847 Redirect semihosting messages to a specified TCP port.
9848
9849 This command redirects debug (READC, WRITEC and WRITE0) and stdio (READ, WRITE)
9850 semihosting operations to the specified TCP port.
9851 The command allows to select which type of operations to redirect (debug, stdio, all (default)).
9852
9853 Note: for stdio operations, only I/O from/to ':tt' file descriptors are redirected.
9854 @end deffn

9859
9860 @example
9861 arm semihosting_cmdline argv0 argv1 argv2 ...
9862 @end example
9863
9864 This option lets one set the command line arguments to be passed to
9865 the program. The first argument (argv0) is the program name in a
9866 standard C environment (argv[0]). Depending on the program (not much
9867 programs look at argv[0]), argv0 is ignored and can be any string.
9868 @end deffn

9871 @cindex ARM semihosting
9872 Display status of semihosting fileio, after optionally changing that
9873 status.
9874
9875 Enabling this option forwards semihosting I/O to GDB process using the
9876 File-I/O remote protocol extension. This is especially useful for
9877 interacting with remote files or displaying console messages in the
9878 debugger.
9879 @end deffn
9880
9881 @deffn {Command} {arm semihosting_resexit} [@option{enable}|@option{disable}]
9882 @cindex ARM semihosting
9883 Enable resumable SEMIHOSTING_SYS_EXIT.
9884
9885 When SEMIHOSTING_SYS_EXIT is called outside a debug session,
9886 things are simple, the openocd process calls exit() and passes
9887 the value returned by the target.
9888
9889 When SEMIHOSTING_SYS_EXIT is called during a debug session,
9890 by default execution returns to the debugger, leaving the
9891 debugger in a HALT state, similar to the state entered when
9892 encountering a break.
9893
9894 In some use cases, it is useful to have SEMIHOSTING_SYS_EXIT
9895 return normally, as any semihosting call, and do not break
9896 to the debugger.
9897 The standard allows this to happen, but the condition
9898 to trigger it is a bit obscure ("by performing an RDI_Execute
9899 request or equivalent").
9900
9901 To make the SEMIHOSTING_SYS_EXIT call return normally, enable
9902 this option (default: disabled).

9909
9910 When the target makes semihosting call with operation number from range 0x100-
9911 0x107, an optional string parameter can be passed to the server. This parameter
9912 is valid during the run of the event handlers and is accessible with this

9955 channel (DCC) to write larger (>128 byte) amounts of memory.
9956 If a boolean parameter is provided, first assigns that flag.
9957
9958 DCC downloads offer a huge speed increase, but might be

9966 If a boolean parameter is provided, first assigns that flag.
9967
9968 This provides a huge speed increase, especially with USB JTAG

10067 @subsection XScale specific commands
10068 @cindex XScale
10069
10070 Some notes about the debug implementation on the XScale CPUs:
10071
10072 The XScale CPU provides a special debug-only mini-instruction cache
10073 (mini-IC) in which exception vectors and target-resident debug handler
10074 code are placed by OpenOCD. In order to get access to the CPU, OpenOCD
10075 must point vector 0 (the reset vector) to the entry of the debug
10076 handler. However, this means that the complete first cacheline in the
10077 mini-IC is marked valid, which makes the CPU fetch all exception
10078 handlers from the mini-IC, ignoring the code in RAM.
10079
10080 To address this situation, OpenOCD provides the @code{xscale
10081 vector_table} command, which allows the user to explicitly write
10082 individual entries to either the high or low vector table stored in
10083 the mini-IC.
10084
10085 It is recommended to place a pc-relative indirect branch in the vector
10086 table, and put the branch destination somewhere in memory. Doing so
10087 makes sure the code in the vector table stays constant regardless of
10088 code layout in memory:
10089 @example
10090 _vectors:
10091 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
10092 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
10093 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
10094 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
10095 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
10096 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
10097 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
10098 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
10099 .org 0x100
10100 .long real_reset_vector
10101 .long real_ui_handler
10102 .long real_swi_handler
10103 .long real_pf_abort
10104 .long real_data_abort
10105 .long 0 /* unused */
10106 .long real_irq_handler
10107 .long real_fiq_handler
10108 @end example
10109
10110 Alternatively, you may choose to keep some or all of the mini-IC
10111 vector table entries synced with those written to memory by your
10112 system software. The mini-IC can not be modified while the processor
10113 is executing, but for each vector table entry not previously defined
10114 using the @code{xscale vector_table} command, OpenOCD will copy the
10115 value from memory to the mini-IC every time execution resumes from a
10116 halt. This is done for both high and low vector tables (although the
10117 table not in use may not be mapped to valid memory, and in this case
10118 that copy operation will silently fail). This means that you will
10119 need to briefly halt execution at some strategic point during system
10120 start-up; e.g., after the software has initialized the vector table,
10121 but before exceptions are enabled. A breakpoint can be used to
10122 accomplish this once the appropriate location in the start-up code has
10123 been identified. A watchpoint over the vector table region is helpful
10124 in finding the location if you're not sure. Note that the same
10125 situation exists any time the vector table is modified by the system
10126 software.
10127
10128 The debug handler must be placed somewhere in the address space using
10129 the @code{xscale debug_handler} command. The allowed locations for the
10130 debug handler are either (0x800 - 0x1fef800) or (0xfe000800 -
10131 0xfffff800). The default value is 0xfe000800.
10132
10133 XScale has resources to support two hardware breakpoints and two
10134 watchpoints. However, the following restrictions on watchpoint
10135 functionality apply: (1) the value and mask arguments to the @code{wp}
10136 command are not supported, (2) the watchpoint length must be a
10137 power of two and not less than four, and can not be greater than the
10138 watchpoint address, and (3) a watchpoint with a length greater than
10139 four consumes all the watchpoint hardware resources. This means that
10140 at any one time, you can have enabled either two watchpoints with a
10141 length of four, or one watchpoint with a length greater than four.

10339 ARM CoreSight provides several modules to generate debugging
10340 information internally (ITM, DWT and ETM). Their output is directed
10341 through TPIU or SWO modules to be captured externally either on an SWO pin (this
10342 configuration is called SWV) or on a synchronous parallel trace port.
10343
10344 ARM CoreSight provides independent HW blocks named TPIU and SWO each with its
10345 own functionality. Embedded in Cortex-M3 and M4, ARM provides an optional HW
10346 block that includes both TPIU and SWO functionalities and is again named TPIU,
10347 which causes quite some confusion.
10348 The registers map of all the TPIU and SWO implementations allows using a single
10349 driver that detects at runtime the features available.

10476 @item STM32L152 board is programmed with an application that configures
10477 PLL to provide core clock with 24MHz frequency; to use ITM output it's
10478 enough to:
10479 @example
10480 #include <libopencm3/cm3/itm.h>
10481 ...
10482 ITM_STIM8(0) = c;
10483 ...
10484 @end example
10485 (the most obvious way is to use the first stimulus port for printf,
10486 for that this ITM_STIM8 assignment can be used inside _write(); to make it
10487 blocking to avoid data loss, add @code{while (!(ITM_STIM8(0) &
10488 ITM_STIM_FIFOREADY));});
10489 @item An FT2232H UART is connected to the SWO pin of the board;
10490 @item Commands to configure UART for 12MHz baud rate:

10493 $ stty -F /dev/ttyUSB1 38400
10494 @end example
10495 (FT2232H's base frequency is 60MHz, spd_cust allows to alias 38400

10529 Control masking (disabling) interrupts during target step/resume.
10530
10531 The @option{auto} option handles interrupts during stepping in a way that they
10532 get served but don't disturb the program flow. The step command first allows
10533 pending interrupt handlers to execute, then disables interrupts and steps over
10534 the next instruction where the core was halted. After the step interrupts
10535 are enabled again. If the interrupt handlers don't complete within 500ms,
10536 the step command leaves with the core running.
10537
10538 The @option{steponly} option disables interrupts during single-stepping but
10539 enables them during normal execution. This can be used as a partial workaround
10540 for 702596 erratum in Cortex-M7 r0p1. See "Cortex-M7 (AT610) and Cortex-M7 with
10541 FPU (AT611) Software Developer Errata Notice" from ARM for further details.
10542
10543 Note that a free hardware (FPB) breakpoint is required for the @option{auto}
10544 option. If no breakpoint is available at the time of the step, then the step
10545 is taken with interrupts enabled, i.e. the same way the @option{off} option
10546 does.
10547
10548 Default is @option{auto}.

10568 If NVIC setup code does not enable them,
10569 MemManage, BusFault, and UsageFault exceptions
10570 are mapped to HardFault.
10571 UsageFault checks for
10572 divide-by-zero and unaligned access
10573 must also be explicitly enabled.

10674
10675 @subsection eSi-Trace Configuration
10676
10677 eSi-RISC targets may be configured with support for instruction tracing. Trace
10678 data may be written to an in-memory buffer or FIFO. If a FIFO is configured, DMA
10679 is typically employed to move trace data off-device using a high-speed
10680 peripheral (eg. SPI). Collected trace data is encoded in one of three different
10681 formats. At a minimum, @command{esirisc trace buffer} or @command{esirisc trace
10682 fifo} must be issued along with @command{esirisc trace format} before trace data
10683 can be collected.
10684
10685 OpenOCD provides rudimentary analysis of collected trace data. If more detail is
10686 needed, collected trace data can be dumped to a file and processed by external
10687 tooling.
10688
10689 @quotation Issues
10690 OpenOCD is unable to process trace data sent to a FIFO. A potential workaround
10691 for this issue is to configure DMA to copy trace data to an in-memory buffer,
10692 which can then be passed to the @command{esirisc trace analyze} and
10693 @command{esirisc trace dump} commands.
10694
10695 It is possible to corrupt trace data when using a FIFO if the peripheral
10696 responsible for draining data from the FIFO is not fast enough. This can be
10697 managed by enabling flow control, however this can impact timing-sensitive
10698 software operation on the CPU.

10904 @section RISC-V Architecture
10905
10906 @uref{http://riscv.org/, RISC-V} is a free and open ISA. OpenOCD supports JTAG
10907 debug of RV32 and RV64 cores in heterogeneous multicore systems of up to 32
10908 harts. (It's possible to increase this limit to 1024 by changing
10909 RISCV_MAX_HARTS in riscv.h.) OpenOCD primarily supports 0.13 of the RISC-V
10910 Debug Specification, but there is also support for legacy targets that
10911 implement version 0.11.
10912
10913 @subsection RISC-V Terminology
10914
10915 A @emph{hart} is a hardware thread. A hart may share resources (eg. FPU) with
10916 another hart, or may be a separate core. RISC-V treats those the same, and
10917 OpenOCD exposes each hart as a separate core.
10918
10919 @subsection Vector Registers
10920
10921 For harts that implement the vector extension, OpenOCD provides access to the
10922 relevant CSRs, as well as the vector registers (v0-v31). The size of each
10923 vector register is dependent on the value of vlenb. RISC-V allows each vector
10924 register to be divided into selected-width elements, and this division can be
10925 changed at run-time. Because OpenOCD cannot update register definitions at
10926 run-time, it exposes each vector register to gdb as a union of fields of
10927 vectors so that users can easily access individual bytes, shorts, words,
10928 longs, and quads inside each vector register. It is left to gdb or
10929 higher-level debuggers to present this data in a more intuitive format.
10930
10931 In the XML register description, the vector registers (when vlenb=16) look as
10932 follows:
10933
10934 @example
10935 <feature name="org.gnu.gdb.riscv.vector">
10936 <vector id="bytes" type="uint8" count="16"/>
10937 <vector id="shorts" type="uint16" count="8"/>
10938 <vector id="words" type="uint32" count="4"/>
10939 <vector id="longs" type="uint64" count="2"/>
10940 <vector id="quads" type="uint128" count="1"/>
10941 <union id="riscv_vector">
10942 <field name="b" type="bytes"/>
10943 <field name="s" type="shorts"/>
10944 <field name="w" type="words"/>
10945 <field name="l" type="longs"/>
10946 <field name="q" type="quads"/>
10947 </union>
10948 <reg name="v0" bitsize="128" regnum="4162" save-restore="no"
10949 type="riscv_vector" group="vector"/>
10950 ...
10951 <reg name="v31" bitsize="128" regnum="4193" save-restore="no"
10952 type="riscv_vector" group="vector"/>
10953 </feature>

10956 @subsection RISC-V Debug Configuration Commands
10957
10958 @deffn {Config Command} {riscv expose_csrs} n[-m|=name] [...]
10959 Configure which CSRs to expose in addition to the standard ones. The CSRs to expose
10960 can be specified as individual register numbers or register ranges (inclusive). For the
10961 individually listed CSRs, a human-readable name can optionally be set using the @code{n=name}
10962 syntax, which will get @code{csr_} prepended to it. If no name is provided, the register will be
10963 named @code{csr<n>}.
10964
10965 By default OpenOCD attempts to expose only CSRs that are mentioned in a spec,
10966 and then only if the corresponding extension appears to be implemented. This
10967 command can be used if OpenOCD gets this wrong, or if the target implements custom
10968 CSRs.
10969
10970 @example
10971 # Expose a single RISC-V CSR number 128 under the name "csr128":
10972 $_TARGETNAME expose_csrs 128
10973
10974 # Expose multiple RISC-V CSRs 128..132 under names "csr128" through "csr132":
10975 $_TARGETNAME expose_csrs 128-132
10976
10977 # Expose a single RISC-V CSR number 1996 under custom name "csr_myregister":
10978 $_TARGETNAME expose_csrs 1996=myregister
10979 @end example
10980 @end deffn
10981
10982 @deffn {Config Command} {riscv expose_custom} n[-m|=name] [...]
10983 The RISC-V Debug Specification allows targets to expose custom registers
10984 through abstract commands. (See Section 3.5.1.1 in that document.) This command
10985 configures individual registers or register ranges (inclusive) that shall be exposed.
10986 Number 0 indicates the first custom register, whose abstract command number is 0xc000.
10987 For individually listed registers, a human-readable name can be optionally provided
10988 using the @code{n=name} syntax, which will get @code{custom_} prepended to it. If no
10989 name is provided, the register will be named @code{custom<n>}.
10990
10991 @example
10992 # Expose one RISC-V custom register with number 0xc010 (0xc000 + 16)
10993 # under the name "custom16":
10994 $_TARGETNAME expose_custom 16
10995
10996 # Expose a range of RISC-V custom registers with numbers 0xc010 .. 0xc018
10997 # (0xc000+16 .. 0xc000+24) under the names "custom16" through "custom24":
10998 $_TARGETNAME expose_custom 16-24

11010 @deffn {Command} {riscv reset_delays} [wait]
11011 OpenOCD learns how many Run-Test/Idle cycles are required between scans to avoid

11028 of priority. At least one method must be specified.
11029
11030 Available methods are:
11031 @itemize
11032 @item @code{progbuf} - Use RISC-V Debug Program Buffer to access memory.

11057 Some software assumes all harts are executing nearly continuously. Such
11058 software may be sensitive to the order that harts are resumed in. On harts
11059 that don't support hasel, this option allows the user to choose the order the
11060 harts are resumed in. If you are using this option, it's probably masking a
11061 race condition problem in your code.
11062
11063 Normal order is from lowest hart index to highest. This is the default
11064 behavior. Reversed order is from highest hart index to lowest.

11069 example, when using the existing JTAG interface on a Xilinx FPGA by
11070 way of BSCANE2 primitives that only permit a limited selection of IR
11071 values.

11134 high-performance host applications in a variety of market segments. See more
11135 at: @url{http://www.synopsys.com/IP/ProcessorIP/ARCProcessors/Pages/default.aspx}.
11136 OpenOCD currently supports ARC EM processors.
11137 There is a set ARC-specific OpenOCD commands that allow low-level
11138 access to the core and provide necessary support for ARC extensibility and
11139 configurability capabilities. ARC processors has much more configuration
11140 capabilities than most of the other processors and in addition there is an
11141 extension interface that allows SoC designers to add custom registers and
11142 instructions. For the OpenOCD that mostly means that set of core and AUX
11143 registers in target will vary and is not fixed for a particular processor
11144 model. To enable extensibility several TCL commands are provided that allow to
11145 describe those optional registers in OpenOCD configuration files. Moreover
11146 those commands allow for a dynamic target features discovery.

11172 @itemize @bullet
11173
11174 @item @code{-gdbnum} number
11175 @*GDB register number. It is recommended to not assign GDB register number
11176 manually, because there would be a risk that two register will have same
11177 number. When register GDB number is not set with this option, then register
11178 will get a previous register number + 1. This option is required only for those
11179 registers that must be at particular address expected by GDB.
11180
11181 @item @code{-core}
11182 @*This option specifies that register is a core registers. If not - this is an
11183 AUX register. AUX registers and core registers reside in different address
11184 spaces.
11185
11186 @item @code{-bcr}
11187 @*This options specifies that register is a BCR register. BCR means Build
11188 Configuration Registers - this is a special type of AUX registers that are read
11189 only and non-volatile, that is - they never change their value. Therefore OpenOCD
11190 never invalidates values of those registers in internal caches. Because BCR is a
11191 type of AUX registers, this option cannot be used with @code{-core}.
11192
11193 @item @code{-type} type_name
11194 @*Name of type of this register. This can be either one of the basic GDB types,
11195 or a custom types described with @command{arc add-reg-type-[flags|struct]}.
11196
11197 @item @code{-g}
11198 @* If specified then this is a "general" register. General registers are always
11199 read by OpenOCD on context save (when core has just been halted) and is always
11200 transferred to GDB client in a response to g-packet. Contrary to this,
11201 non-general registers are read and sent to GDB client on-demand. In general it

11263
11264 @section Xtensa Architecture
11265
11266 Xtensa is a highly-customizable, user-extensible microprocessor and DSP
11267 architecture for complex embedded systems provided by Cadence Design
11268 Systems, Inc. See the
11269 @uref{https://www.cadence.com/en_US/home/tools/ip/tensilica-ip.html, Tensilica IP}
11270 website for additional information and documentation.
11271
11272 OpenOCD supports generic Xtensa processor implementations which can be customized by
11273 providing a core-specific configuration file which describes every enabled
11274 Xtensa architecture option, e.g. number of address registers, exceptions, reduced
11275 size instructions support, memory banks configuration etc. OpenOCD also supports SMP
11276 configurations for Xtensa processors with any number of cores and allows configuring
11277 their debug interconnect (termed "break/stall networks"), which control how debug
11278 signals are distributed among cores. Xtensa "break networks" are compatible with
11279 ARM's Cross Trigger Interface (CTI). OpenOCD implements both generic Xtensa targets
11280 as well as several Espressif Xtensa-based chips from the
11281 @uref{https://www.espressif.com/en/products/socs, ESP32 family}.
11282
11283 OCD sessions for Xtensa processor and DSP targets are accessed via the Xtensa
11284 Debug Module (XDM), which provides external connectivity either through a
11285 traditional JTAG interface or an ARM DAP interface. If used, the DAP interface
11286 can control Xtensa targets through JTAG or SWD probes.
11287
11288 @subsection Xtensa Core Configuration
11289
11290 Due to the high level of configurability in Xtensa cores, the Xtensa target
11291 configuration comprises two categories:
11292
11293 @enumerate
11294 @item Base Xtensa support common to all core configurations, and
11295 @item Core-specific support as configured for individual cores.
11296 @end enumerate
11297
11298 All common Xtensa support is built into the OpenOCD Xtensa target layer and
11299 is enabled through a combination of TCL scripts: the target-specific
11300 @file{target/xtensa.cfg} and a board-specific @file{board/xtensa-*.cfg},
11301 similar to other target architectures.
11302
11303 Importantly, core-specific configuration information must be provided by
11304 the user, and takes the form of an @file{xtensa-core-XXX.cfg} TCL script that
11305 defines the core's configurable features through a series of Xtensa
11306 configuration commands (detailed below).
11307
11308 This core-specific @file{xtensa-core-XXX.cfg} file is typically either:
11309
11310 @itemize @bullet
11311 @item Located within the Xtensa core configuration build as
11312 @file{src/config/xtensa-core-openocd.cfg}, or
11313 @item Generated by running the command @code{xt-gdb --dump-oocd-config}
11314 from the Xtensa processor tool-chain's command-line tools.
11315 @end itemize
11316
11317 NOTE: @file{xtensa-core-XXX.cfg} must match the target Xtensa hardware
11318 connected to OpenOCD.
11319
11320 Some example Xtensa configurations are bundled with OpenOCD for reference:
11321 @itemize @bullet
11322 @item Cadence Palladium VDebug emulation target. The user can combine their

11332 @subsection Xtensa Configuration Commands
11333
11334 @deffn {Config Command} {xtensa xtdef} (@option{LX}|@option{NX})
11335 Configure the Xtensa target architecture. Currently, Xtensa support is limited
11336 to LX6, LX7, and NX cores.
11337 @end deffn
11338
11339 @deffn {Config Command} {xtensa xtopt} option value
11340 Configure Xtensa target options that are relevant to the debug subsystem.
11341 @var{option} is one of: @option{arnum}, @option{windowed},
11342 @option{cpenable}, @option{exceptions}, @option{intnum}, @option{hipriints},
11343 @option{excmlevel}, @option{intlevels}, @option{debuglevel},
11344 @option{ibreaknum}, or @option{dbreaknum}. @var{value} is an integer with
11345 the exact range determined by each particular option.
11346
11347 NOTE: Some options are specific to Xtensa LX or Xtensa NX architecture, while
11348 others may be common to both but have different valid ranges.
11349 @end deffn
11350
11351 @deffn {Config Command} {xtensa xtmem} (@option{iram}|@option{dram}|@option{sram}|@option{irom}|@option{drom}|@option{srom}) baseaddr bytes
11352 Configure Xtensa target memory. Memory type determines access rights,
11353 where RAMs are read/write while ROMs are read-only. @var{baseaddr} and
11354 @var{bytes} are both integers, typically hexadecimal and decimal, respectively.
11355 @end deffn
11356
11357 @deffn {Config Command} {xtensa xtmem} (@option{icache}|@option{dcache}) linebytes cachebytes ways [writeback]
11358 Configure Xtensa processor cache. All parameters are required except for
11359 the optional @option{writeback} parameter; all are integers.
11360 @end deffn
11361
11362 @deffn {Config Command} {xtensa xtmpu} numfgseg minsegsz lockable execonly
11363 Configure an Xtensa Memory Protection Unit (MPU). MPUs can restrict access
11364 and/or control cacheability of specific address ranges, but are lighter-weight
11365 than a full traditional MMU. All parameters are required; all are integers.
11366 @end deffn
11367
11368 @deffn {Config Command} {xtensa xtmmu} numirefillentries numdrefillentries
11369 (Xtensa-LX only) Configure an Xtensa Memory Management Unit (MMU). Both
11370 parameters are required; both are integers.
11371 @end deffn
11372
11373 @deffn {Config Command} {xtensa xtregs} numregs
11374 Configure the total number of registers for the Xtensa core. Configuration
11375 logic expects to subsequently process this number of @code{xtensa xtreg}
11376 definitions. @var{numregs} is an integer.
11377 @end deffn
11378
11379 @deffn {Config Command} {xtensa xtregfmt} (@option{sparse}|@option{contiguous}) [general]
11380 Configure the type of register map used by GDB to access the Xtensa core.
11381 Generic Xtensa tools (e.g. xt-gdb) require @option{sparse} mapping (default) while
11382 Espressif tools expect @option{contiguous} mapping. Contiguous mapping takes an
11383 additional, optional integer parameter @option{numgregs}, which specifies the number
11384 of general registers used in handling g/G packets.
11385 @end deffn
11386
11387 @deffn {Config Command} {xtensa xtreg} name offset
11388 Configure an Xtensa core register. All core registers are 32 bits wide,
11389 while TIE and user registers may have variable widths. @var{name} is a
11390 character string identifier while @var{offset} is a hexadecimal integer.
11391 @end deffn
11392
11393 @subsection Xtensa Operation Commands
11394
11395 @deffn {Command} {xtensa maskisr} (@option{on}|@option{off})
11396 (Xtensa-LX only) Mask or unmask Xtensa interrupts during instruction step.
11397 When masked, an interrupt that occurs during a step operation is handled and
11398 its ISR is executed, with the user's debug session returning after potentially
11399 executing many instructions. When unmasked, a triggered interrupt will result
11400 in execution progressing the requested number of instructions into the relevant
11401 vector/ISR code.
11402 @end deffn

11553 @section Software Debug Messages and Tracing
11554 @cindex Linux-ARM DCC support
11555 @cindex tracing
11556 @cindex libdcc
11557 @cindex DCC
11558 OpenOCD can process certain requests from target software, when
11559 the target uses appropriate libraries.
11560 The most powerful mechanism is semihosting, but there is also
11561 a lighter weight mechanism using only the DCC channel.
11562
11563 Currently @command{target_request debugmsgs}
11564 is supported only for @option{arm7_9} and @option{cortex_m} cores.
11565 These messages are received as part of target polling, so
11566 you need to have @command{poll on} active to receive them.
11567 They are intrusive in that they will affect program execution
11568 times. If that is a problem, @pxref{armhardwaretracing,,ARM Hardware Tracing}.
11569
11570 See @file{libdcc} in the contrib dir for more details.
11571 In addition to sending strings, characters, and
11572 arrays of various size integers from the target,
11573 @file{libdcc} also exports a software trace point mechanism.
11574 The target being debugged may
11575 issue trace messages which include a 24-bit @dfn{trace point} number.
11576 Trace point support includes two distinct mechanisms,
11577 each supported by a command:
11578
11579 @itemize
11580 @item @emph{History} ... A circular buffer of trace points
11581 can be set up, and then displayed at any time.
11582 This tracks where code has been, which can be invaluable in
11583 finding out how some fault was triggered.
11584
11585 The buffer may overflow, since it collects records continuously.
11586 It may be useful to use some of the 24 bits to represent a
11587 particular event, and other bits to hold data.
11588
11589 @item @emph{Counting} ... An array of counters can be set up,
11590 and then displayed at any time.
11591 This can help establish code coverage and identify hot spots.
11592
11593 The array of counters is directly indexed by the trace point
11594 number, so trace points with higher numbers are not counted.
11595 @end itemize
11596
11597 Linux-ARM kernels have a ``Kernel low-level debugging
11598 via EmbeddedICE DCC channel'' option (CONFIG_DEBUG_ICEDCC,
11599 depends on CONFIG_DEBUG_LL) which uses this mechanism to
11600 deliver messages before a serial console can be activated.
11601 This is not the same format used by @file{libdcc}.
11602 Other software, such as the U-Boot boot loader, sometimes
11603 does the same thing.
11604
11605 @deffn {Command} {target_request debugmsgs} [@option{enable}|@option{disable}|@option{charmsg}]
11606 Displays current handling of target DCC message requests.
11607 These messages may be sent to the debugger while the target is running.
11608 The optional @option{enable} and @option{charmsg} parameters
11609 both enable the messages, while @option{disable} disables them.
11610
11611 With @option{charmsg} the DCC words each contain one character,
11612 as used by Linux with CONFIG_DEBUG_ICEDCC;
11613 otherwise the libdcc format is used.
11614 @end deffn
11615
11616 @deffn {Command} {trace history} [@option{clear}|count]
11617 With no parameter, displays all the trace points that have triggered
11618 in the order they triggered.
11619 With the parameter @option{clear}, erases all current trace history records.
11620 With a @var{count} parameter, allocates space for that many
11621 history records.
11622 @end deffn
11623
11624 @deffn {Command} {trace point} [@option{clear}|identifier]
11625 With no parameter, displays all trace point identifiers and how many times
11626 they have been triggered.
11627 With the parameter @option{clear}, erases all current trace point counters.
11628 With a numeric @var{identifier} parameter, creates a new a trace point counter
11629 and associates it with that identifier.
11630
11631 @emph{Important:} The identifier and the trace point number
11632 are not related except by this command.
11633 These trace point numbers always start at zero (from server startup,
11634 or after @command{trace point clear}) and count up from there.

11638 @node JTAG Commands
11639 @chapter JTAG Commands
11640 @cindex JTAG Commands
11641 Most general purpose JTAG commands have been presented earlier.
11642 (@xref{jtagspeed,,JTAG Speed}, @ref{Reset Configuration}, and @ref{TAP Declaration}.)
11643 Lower level JTAG commands, as presented here,
11644 may be needed to work with targets which require special
11645 attention during operations such as reset or initialization.
11646
11647 To use these commands you will need to understand some
11648 of the basics of JTAG, including:
11649
11650 @itemize @bullet
11651 @item A JTAG scan chain consists of a sequence of individual TAP
11652 devices such as a CPUs.
11653 @item Control operations involve moving each TAP through the same
11654 standard state machine (in parallel)
11655 using their shared TMS and clock signals.
11656 @item Data transfer involves shifting data through the chain of
11657 instruction or data registers of each TAP, writing new register values
11658 while the reading previous ones.
11659 @item Data register sizes are a function of the instruction active in
11660 a given TAP, while instruction register sizes are fixed for each TAP.
11661 All TAPs support a BYPASS instruction with a single bit data register.
11662 @item The way OpenOCD differentiates between TAP devices is by
11663 shifting different instructions into (and out of) their instruction
11664 registers.
11665 @end itemize
11666
11667 @section Low Level JTAG Commands
11668
11669 These commands are used by developers who need to access
11670 JTAG instruction or data registers, possibly controlling
11671 the order of TAP state transitions.
11672 If you're not debugging OpenOCD internals, or bringing up a
11673 new JTAG adapter or a new type of TAP device (like a CPU or
11674 JTAG router), you probably won't need to use these commands.
11675 In a debug session that doesn't use JTAG for its transport protocol,
11676 these commands are not available.
11677
11678 @deffn {Command} {drscan} tap [numbits value]+ [@option{-endstate} tap_state]
11679 Loads the data register of @var{tap} with a series of bit fields
11680 that specify the entire register.
11681 Each field is @var{numbits} bits long with
11682 a numeric @var{value} (hexadecimal encouraged).
11683 The return value holds the original value of each
11684 of those fields.
11685
11686 For example, a 38 bit number might be specified as one
11687 field of 32 bits then one of 6 bits.
11688 @emph{For portability, never pass fields which are more
11689 than 32 bits long. Many OpenOCD implementations do not
11690 support 64-bit (or larger) integer values.}
11691
11692 All TAPs other than @var{tap} must be in BYPASS mode.
11693 The single bit in their data registers does not matter.
11694
11695 When @var{tap_state} is specified, the JTAG state machine is left
11696 in that state.
11697 For example @sc{drpause} might be specified, so that more
11698 instructions can be issued before re-entering the @sc{run/idle} state.
11699 If the end state is not specified, the @sc{run/idle} state is entered.
11700
11701 @quotation Warning
11702 OpenOCD does not record information about data register lengths,
11703 so @emph{it is important that you get the bit field lengths right}.
11704 Remember that different JTAG instructions refer to different
11705 data registers, which may have different lengths.
11706 Moreover, those lengths may not be fixed;
11707 the SCAN_N instruction can change the length of
11708 the register accessed by the INTEST instruction
11709 (by connecting a different scan chain).
11710 @end quotation
11711 @end deffn
11712
11713 @deffn {Command} {flush_count}
11714 Returns the number of times the JTAG queue has been flushed.
11715 This may be used for performance tuning.
11716
11717 For example, flushing a queue over USB involves a
11718 minimum latency, often several milliseconds, which does
11719 not change with the amount of data which is written.
11720 You may be able to identify performance problems by finding
11721 tasks which waste bandwidth by flushing small transfers too often,
11722 instead of batching them into larger operations.
11723 @end deffn
11724
11725 @deffn {Command} {irscan} [tap instruction]+ [@option{-endstate} tap_state]
11726 For each @var{tap} listed, loads the instruction register
11727 with its associated numeric @var{instruction}.
11728 (The number of bits in that instruction may be displayed
11729 using the @command{scan_chain} command.)
11730 For other TAPs, a BYPASS instruction is loaded.
11731
11732 When @var{tap_state} is specified, the JTAG state machine is left
11733 in that state.
11734 For example @sc{irpause} might be specified, so the data register
11735 can be loaded before re-entering the @sc{run/idle} state.
11736 If the end state is not specified, the @sc{run/idle} state is entered.
11737

11882 Xilinx devices.
11883 In a debug session using JTAG for its transport protocol,

11915 from Lattice Semiconductor (LCOUNT, LDELAY, LDSR), and
11916 two opcodes supporting a more accurate translation of SVF
11917 (XTRST, XWAITSTATE).

11928 logic circuits in addition to software for control, visualization and further analysis.
11929 In a session using JTAG for its transport protocol, OpenOCD supports the function
11930 of a JTAG-Host. The JTAG-Host is needed to connect the circuit over JTAG to the

11940 @item @option{-hub @var{ir_value}} states that the JTAG hub is
11941 reachable with dr-scans while the JTAG instruction register has the value @var{ir_value}.
11942 @item @option{-port @var{number}} tcp port number where the JTAG-Host will listen. The default is 4242 which is used when the option is not given.
11943 @item @option{-tool @var{number}} number of the tool/feature. These corresponds to the ports "data_(up/down)_(0..6)" at the JtagHub. The default is 1 which is used when the option is not given.
11944 @item @option{-vir [@var{vir_value} [@var{length} [@var{instr_code}]]]} On some devices, the user data-register is reachable if there is a
11945 specific value in a second dr. This second dr is called vir (virtual ir). With this parameter given, the IPDBG satisfies this condition prior an
11946 access to the IPDBG-Hub. The value shifted into the vir is given by the first parameter @var{vir_value} (default: 0x11). The second
11947 parameter @var{length} is the length of the vir data register (default: 5). With the @var{instr_code} (default: 0x00e) parameter the ir value to
11948 shift data through vir can be configured.

11953 Also starts or stops a IPDBG JTAG-Host server. The pld drivers are able to provide the tap and hub/IR for the IPDBG JTAG-Host server.
11954 With the @option{-pld @var{name} [@var{user}]} the information from the pld-driver is used and the options @option{-tap} and @option{-hub} are not required.
11955 The defined driver for the pld @var{name} gets selected. (The pld devices names can be shown by the command @command{pld devices}).
11956
11957 The @verb{|USERx|} instructions are vendor specific and don't change between families of the same vendor.
11958 So if there's a pld driver for your vendor it should work with your FPGA even when the driver is not compatible with your device for the remaining features. If your device/vendor is not supported you have to use the previous command.
11959
11960 With [@var{user}] one can select a different @verb{|USERx|}-Instruction. If the IPDBG JTAG-Hub is used without modification the default value of 1 which selects the first @verb{|USERx|} instruction is adequate.

11975 Starts a server listening on tcp-port 60000 which connects to tool 1 (data_up_1/data_down_1).
11976 The connection is through the TAP of a Intel MAX10 virtual jtag component (sld_instance_index is 0; sld_ir_width is smaller than 5).
11977
11978 @example
11979 ipdbg -start -pld xc7.pld -port 5555 -tool 0
11980 @end example
11981 Starts a server listening on tcp-port 5555 which connects to tool 0 (data_up_0/data_down_0).

11994 testing procedures allowing the detection of all sorts of issues with
11995 electrical wiring, defective chips, PCB layout and other common
11996 hardware problems.
11997
11998 To use them, you usually need to initialise your RAM controller first;
11999 consult your SoC's documentation to get the recommended list of

12044 @chapter GDB and OpenOCD
12045 @cindex GDB
12046 OpenOCD complies with the remote gdbserver protocol and, as such, can be used
12047 to debug remote targets.
12048 Setting up GDB to work with OpenOCD can involve several components:
12049
12050 @itemize
12051 @item The OpenOCD server support for GDB may need to be configured.
12052 @xref{gdbconfiguration,,GDB Configuration}.
12053 @item GDB's support for OpenOCD may need configuration,
12054 as shown in this chapter.
12055 @item If you have a GUI environment like Eclipse,
12056 that also will probably need to be configured.
12057 @end itemize
12058
12059 Of course, the version of GDB you use will need to be one which has
12060 been built to know about the target CPU you're using. It's probably
12061 part of the tool chain you're using. For example, if you are doing
12062 cross-development for ARM on an x86 PC, instead of using the native
12063 x86 @command{gdb} command you might use @command{arm-none-eabi-gdb}
12064 if that's the tool chain used to compile your code.
12065
12066 @section Connecting to GDB
12067 @cindex Connecting to GDB
12068 Use GDB 6.7 or newer with OpenOCD if you run into trouble. For
12069 instance GDB 6.3 has a known bug that produces bogus memory access
12070 errors, which has since been fixed; see
12071 @url{http://osdir.com/ml/gdb.bugs.discuss/2004-12/msg00018.html}
12072
12073 OpenOCD can communicate with GDB in two ways:
12074
12075 @enumerate
12076 @item
12077 A socket (TCP/IP) connection is typically started as follows:
12078 @example
12079 target extended-remote localhost:3333
12080 @end example
12081 This would cause GDB to connect to the gdbserver on the local pc using port 3333.
12082
12083 The extended remote protocol is a super-set of the remote protocol and should
12084 be the preferred choice. More details are available in GDB documentation
12085 @url{https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Connecting.html}
12086
12087 To speed-up typing, any GDB command can be abbreviated, including the extended
12088 remote command above that becomes:
12089 @example
12090 tar ext :3333
12091 @end example
12092
12093 @b{Note:} If any backward compatibility issue requires using the old remote
12094 protocol in place of the extended remote one, the former protocol is still
12095 available through the command:
12096 @example
12097 target remote localhost:3333
12098 @end example
12099
12100 @item
12101 A pipe connection is typically started as follows:
12102 @example
12103 target extended-remote | \
12104 openocd -c "gdb_port pipe; log_output openocd.log"
12105 @end example
12106 This would cause GDB to run OpenOCD and communicate using pipes (stdin/stdout).
12107 Using this method has the advantage of GDB starting/stopping OpenOCD for the debug
12108 session. log_output sends the log output to a file to ensure that the pipe is
12109 not saturated when using higher debug level outputs.
12110 @end enumerate
12111
12112 To list the available OpenOCD commands type @command{monitor help} on the
12113 GDB command line.
12114
12115 @section Sample GDB session startup
12116
12117 With the remote protocol, GDB sessions start a little differently
12118 than they do when you're debugging locally.
12119 Here's an example showing how to start a debug session with a
12120 small ARM program.
12121 In this case the program was linked to be loaded into SRAM on a Cortex-M3.
12122 Most programs would be written into flash (address 0) and run from there.
12123
12124 @example
12125 $ arm-none-eabi-gdb example.elf
12126 (gdb) target extended-remote localhost:3333
12127 Remote debugging using localhost:3333
12128 ...
12129 (gdb) monitor reset halt
12130 ...
12131 (gdb) load
12132 Loading section .vectors, size 0x100 lma 0x20000000
12133 Loading section .text, size 0x5a0 lma 0x20000100
12134 Loading section .data, size 0x18 lma 0x200006a0
12135 Start address 0x2000061c, load size 1720
12136 Transfer rate: 22 KB/sec, 573 bytes/write.
12137 (gdb) continue
12138 Continuing.
12139 ...
12140 @end example
12141
12142 You could then interrupt the GDB session to make the program break,
12143 type @command{where} to show the stack, @command{list} to show the
12144 code around the program counter, @command{step} through code,
12145 set breakpoints or watchpoints, and so on.
12146
12147 @section Configuring GDB for OpenOCD
12148
12149 OpenOCD supports the gdb @option{qSupported} packet, this enables information
12150 to be sent by the GDB remote server (i.e. OpenOCD) to GDB. Typical information includes
12151 packet size and the device's memory map.
12152 You do not need to configure the packet size by hand,
12153 and the relevant parts of the memory map should be automatically
12154 set up when you declare (NOR) flash banks.
12155
12156 However, there are other things which GDB can't currently query.
12157 You may need to set those up by hand.
12158 As OpenOCD starts up, you will often see a line reporting
12159 something like:
12160
12161 @example
12162 Info : lm3s.cpu: hardware has 6 breakpoints, 4 watchpoints
12163 @end example
12164
12165 You can pass that information to GDB with these commands:
12166
12167 @example
12168 set remote hardware-breakpoint-limit 6
12169 set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 4
12170 @end example
12171
12172 With that particular hardware (Cortex-M3) the hardware breakpoints
12173 only work for code running from flash memory. Most other ARM systems
12174 do not have such restrictions.
12175
12176 Rather than typing such commands interactively, you may prefer to
12177 save them in a file and have GDB execute them as it starts, perhaps
12178 using a @file{.gdbinit} in your project directory or starting GDB

12184
12185 By default the target memory map is sent to GDB. This can be disabled by
12186 the following OpenOCD configuration option:
12187 @example
12188 gdb_memory_map disable
12189 @end example
12190 For this to function correctly a valid flash configuration must also be set
12191 in OpenOCD. For faster performance you should also configure a valid
12192 working area.
12193
12194 Informing GDB of the memory map of the target will enable GDB to protect any
12195 flash areas of the target and use hardware breakpoints by default. This means
12196 that the OpenOCD option @command{gdb_breakpoint_override} is not required when
12197 using a memory map. @xref{gdbbreakpointoverride,,gdb_breakpoint_override}.
12198
12199 To view the configured memory map in GDB, use the GDB command @option{info mem}.
12200 All other unassigned addresses within GDB are treated as RAM.
12201
12202 GDB 6.8 and higher set any memory area not in the memory map as inaccessible.
12203 This can be changed to the old behaviour by using the following GDB command
12204 @example
12205 set mem inaccessible-by-default off
12206 @end example
12207
12208 If @command{gdb_flash_program enable} is also used, GDB will be able to
12209 program any flash memory using the vFlash interface.
12210
12211 GDB will look at the target memory map when a load command is given, if any
12212 areas to be programmed lie within the target flash area the vFlash packets
12213 will be used.
12214
12215 If the target needs configuring before GDB programming, set target
12216 event gdb-flash-erase-start:
12217 @example
12218 $_TARGETNAME configure -event gdb-flash-erase-start BODY
12219 @end example
12220 @xref{targetevents,,Target Events}, for other GDB programming related events.
12221
12222 To verify any flash programming the GDB command @option{compare-sections}
12223 can be used.

12227 @anchor{gdbmeminspect}
12228
12229 If your project controls more than a blinking LED, let's say a heavy industrial
12230 robot or an experimental nuclear reactor, stopping the controlling process
12231 just because you want to attach GDB is not a good option.
12232
12233 OpenOCD does not support GDB non-stop mode (might be implemented in the future).
12234 Though there is a possible setup where the target does not get stopped
12235 and GDB treats it as it were running.
12236 If the target supports background access to memory while it is running,
12237 you can use GDB in this mode to inspect memory (mainly global variables)
12238 without any intrusion of the target process.
12239
12240 Remove default setting of gdb-attach event. @xref{targetevents,,Target Events}.
12241 Place following command after target configuration:
12242 @example
12243 $_TARGETNAME configure -event gdb-attach @{@}
12244 @end example
12245
12246 If any of installed flash banks does not support probe on running target,
12247 switch off gdb_memory_map:
12248 @example
12249 gdb_memory_map disable
12250 @end example
12251
12252 Ensure GDB is configured without interrupt-on-connect.
12253 Some GDB versions set it by default, some does not.
12254 @example
12255 set remote interrupt-on-connect off
12256 @end example
12257
12258 If you switched gdb_memory_map off, you may want to setup GDB memory map
12259 manually or issue @command{set mem inaccessible-by-default off}
12260
12261 Now you can issue GDB command @command{target extended-remote ...} and inspect memory
12262 of a running target. Do not use GDB commands @command{continue},
12263 @command{step} or @command{next} as they synchronize GDB with your target
12264 and GDB would require stopping the target to get the prompt back.
12265
12266 Do not use this mode under an IDE like Eclipse as it caches values of
12267 previously shown variables.
12268
12269 It's also possible to connect more than one GDB to the same target by the
12270 target's configuration option @code{-gdb-max-connections}. This allows, for
12271 example, one GDB to run a script that continuously polls a set of variables
12272 while other GDB can be used interactively. Be extremely careful in this case,
12273 because the two GDB can easily get out-of-sync.

12290 @end example
12291
12292 This will attempt to auto detect the RTOS within your application.

12315
12316 Before an RTOS can be detected, it must export certain symbols; otherwise, it cannot
12317 be used by OpenOCD. Below is a list of the required symbols for each supported RTOS.
12318
12319 @table @code

12353
12354 For most RTOS supported the above symbols will be exported by default. However for
12355 some, eg. FreeRTOS, uC/OS-III and Zephyr, extra steps must be taken.
12356
12357 Zephyr must be compiled with the DEBUG_THREAD_INFO option. This will generate some symbols
12358 with information needed in order to build the list of threads.

12374 @cindex hwthread
12375 OpenOCD includes a pseudo RTOS called @emph{hwthread} that presents CPU cores
12376 ("hardware threads") in an SMP system as threads to GDB. With this extension,
12377 GDB can be used to inspect the state of an SMP system in a natural way.
12378 After halting the system, using the GDB command @command{info threads} will
12379 list the context of each active CPU core in the system. GDB's @command{thread}
12380 command can be used to switch the view to a different CPU core.
12381 The @command{step} and @command{stepi} commands can be used to step a specific core
12382 while other cores are free-running or remain halted, depending on the
12383 scheduler-locking mode configured in GDB.

12389 @section API rules
12390
12391 Tcl commands are stateless; e.g. the @command{telnet} command has
12392 a concept of currently active target, the Tcl API proc's take this sort
12393 of state information as an argument to each proc.
12394
12395 There are three main types of return values: single value, name value
12396 pair list and lists.
12397
12398 Name value pair. The proc 'foo' below returns a name/value pair
12399 list.
12400
12401 @example
12402 > set foo(me) Duane
12403 > set foo(you) Oyvind
12404 > set foo(mouse) Micky
12405 > set foo(duck) Donald
12406 @end example
12407
12408 If one does this:
12409
12410 @example
12411 > set foo
12412 @end example
12413
12414 The result is:
12415
12416 @example
12417 me Duane you Oyvind mouse Micky duck Donald
12418 @end example
12419
12420 Thus, to get the names of the associative array is easy:
12421
12422 @verbatim
12423 foreach { name value } [set foo] {
12424 puts "Name: $name, Value: $value"
12425 }
12426 @end verbatim
12427
12428 Lists returned should be relatively small. Otherwise, a range
12429 should be passed in to the proc in question.
12430
12431 @section Internal low-level Commands
12432
12433 By "low-level", we mean commands that a human would typically not
12434 invoke directly.

12437 @item @b{flash banks} <@var{driver}> <@var{base}> <@var{size}> <@var{chip_width}> <@var{bus_width}> <@var{target}> [@option{driver options} ...]
12438
12439 Return information about the flash banks
12440
12441 @item @b{capture} <@var{command}>
12442
12443 Run <@var{command}> and return full log output that was produced during
12444 its execution. Example:
12445
12446 @example
12447 > capture "reset init"
12448 @end example
12449
12450 @end itemize
12451
12452 OpenOCD commands can consist of two words, e.g. "flash banks". The
12453 @file{startup.tcl} "unknown" proc will translate this into a Tcl proc
12454 called "flash_banks".
12455
12456 @section Tcl RPC server
12457 @cindex RPC
12458
12459 OpenOCD provides a simple RPC server that allows to run arbitrary Tcl
12460 commands and receive the results.
12461
12462 To access it, your application needs to connect to a configured TCP port
12463 (see @command{tcl_port}). Then it can pass any string to the
12464 interpreter terminating it with @code{0x1a} and wait for the return
12465 value (it will be terminated with @code{0x1a} as well). This can be
12466 repeated as many times as desired without reopening the connection.
12467
12468 It is not needed anymore to prefix the OpenOCD commands with
12469 @code{ocd_} to get the results back. But sometimes you might need the
12470 @command{capture} command.

12523 @item @b{RTCK, also known as: Adaptive Clocking - What is it?}
12524 @cindex RTCK
12525 @cindex adaptive clocking
12526 @*
12527
12528 In digital circuit design it is often referred to as ``clock
12529 synchronisation'' the JTAG interface uses one clock (TCK or TCLK)
12530 operating at some speed, your CPU target is operating at another.
12531 The two clocks are not synchronised, they are ``asynchronous''
12532
12533 In order for the two to work together they must be synchronised
12534 well enough to work; JTAG can't go ten times faster than the CPU,
12535 for example. There are 2 basic options:
12536 @enumerate
12537 @item
12538 Use a special "adaptive clocking" circuit to change the JTAG
12539 clock rate to match what the CPU currently supports.
12540 @item
12541 The JTAG clock must be fixed at some speed that's enough slower than
12542 the CPU clock that all TMS and TDI transitions can be detected.
12543 @end enumerate
12544
12545 @b{Does this really matter?} For some chips and some situations, this
12546 is a non-issue, like a 500MHz ARM926 with a 5 MHz JTAG link;
12547 the CPU has no difficulty keeping up with JTAG.
12548 Startup sequences are often problematic though, as are other
12549 situations where the CPU clock rate changes (perhaps to save
12550 power).
12551
12552 For example, Atmel AT91SAM chips start operation from reset with
12553 a 32kHz system clock. Boot firmware may activate the main oscillator
12554 and PLL before switching to a faster clock (perhaps that 500 MHz
12555 ARM926 scenario).
12556 If you're using JTAG to debug that startup sequence, you must slow
12557 the JTAG clock to sometimes 1 to 4kHz. After startup completes,
12558 JTAG can use a faster clock.
12559
12560 Consider also debugging a 500MHz ARM926 hand held battery powered
12561 device that enters a low power ``deep sleep'' mode, at 32kHz CPU
12562 clock, between keystrokes unless it has work to do. When would
12563 that 5 MHz JTAG clock be usable?
12564
12565 @b{Solution #1 - A special circuit}
12566
12567 In order to make use of this,
12568 your CPU, board, and JTAG adapter must all support the RTCK
12569 feature. Not all of them support this; keep reading!
12570
12571 The RTCK ("Return TCK") signal in some ARM chips is used to help with
12572 this problem. ARM has a good description of the problem described at
12573 this link: @url{http://www.arm.com/support/faqdev/4170.html} [checked
12574 28/nov/2008]. Link title: ``How does the JTAG synchronisation logic
12575 work? / how does adaptive clocking work?''.
12576
12577 The nice thing about adaptive clocking is that ``battery powered hand
12578 held device example'' - the adaptiveness works perfectly all the
12579 time. One can set a break point or halt the system in the deep power
12580 down code, slow step out until the system speeds up.
12581
12582 Note that adaptive clocking may also need to work at the board level,
12583 when a board-level scan chain has multiple chips.
12584 Parallel clock voting schemes are good way to implement this,
12585 both within and between chips, and can easily be implemented
12586 with a CPLD.
12587 It's not difficult to have logic fan a module's input TCK signal out
12588 to each TAP in the scan chain, and then wait until each TAP's RTCK comes
12589 back with the right polarity before changing the output RTCK signal.
12590 Texas Instruments makes some clock voting logic available
12591 for free (with no support) in VHDL form; see
12592 @url{http://tiexpressdsp.com/index.php/Adaptive_Clocking}
12593
12594 @b{Solution #2 - Always works - but may be slower}
12595
12596 Often this is a perfectly acceptable solution.
12597
12598 In most simple terms: Often the JTAG clock must be 1/10 to 1/12 of
12599 the target clock speed. But what that ``magic division'' is varies
12600 depending on the chips on your board.
12601 @b{ARM rule of thumb} Most ARM based systems require an 6:1 division;
12602 ARM11 cores use an 8:1 division.
12603 @b{Xilinx rule of thumb} is 1/12 the clock speed.
12604
12605 Note: most full speed FT2232 based JTAG adapters are limited to a
12606 maximum of 6MHz. The ones using USB high speed chips (FT2232H)
12607 often support faster clock rates (and adaptive clocking).
12608
12609 You can still debug the 'low power' situations - you just need to
12610 either use a fixed and very slow JTAG clock rate ... or else
12611 manually adjust the clock speed at every step. (Adjusting is painful
12612 and tedious, and is not always practical.)
12613
12614 It is however easy to ``code your way around it'' - i.e.: Cheat a little,
12615 have a special debug mode in your application that does a ``high power
12616 sleep''. If you are careful - 98% of your problems can be debugged
12617 this way.
12618
12619 Note that on ARM you may need to avoid using the @emph{wait for interrupt}
12620 operation in your idle loops even if you don't otherwise change the CPU
12621 clock rate.
12622 That operation gates the CPU clock, and thus the JTAG clock; which
12623 prevents JTAG access. One consequence is not being able to @command{halt}
12624 cores which are executing that @emph{wait for interrupt} operation.
12625
12626 To set the JTAG frequency use the command:
12627
12628 @example
12629 # Example: 1.234MHz
12630 adapter speed 1234
12631 @end example

12633
12634 @item @b{Win32 Pathnames} Why don't backslashes work in Windows paths?
12635
12636 OpenOCD uses Tcl and a backslash is an escape char. Use @{ and @}
12637 around Windows filenames.
12638
12639 @example
12640 > echo \a
12641
12642 > echo @{\a@}

12651
12652 Make sure you have Cygwin installed, or at least a version of OpenOCD that
12653 claims to come with all the necessary DLLs. When using Cygwin, try launching
12654 OpenOCD from the Cygwin shell.

12659
12660 GDB issues software breakpoints when a normal breakpoint is requested, or to implement
12661 source-line single-stepping. On ARMv4T systems, like ARM7TDMI, ARM720T or ARM920T,
12662 software breakpoints consume one of the two available hardware breakpoints.

12667 clock at the time you're programming the flash. If you've specified the crystal's
12668 frequency, make sure the PLL is disabled. If you've specified the full core speed
12669 (e.g. 60MHz), make sure the PLL is enabled.
12670
12671 @item @b{Amontec Chameleon} When debugging using an Amontec Chameleon in its JTAG Accelerator configuration,
12672 I keep getting "Error: amt_jtagaccel.c:184 amt_wait_scan_busy(): amt_jtagaccel timed
12673 out while waiting for end of scan, rtck was disabled".
12674
12675 Make sure your PC's parallel port operates in EPP mode. You might have to try several
12676 settings in your PC BIOS (ECP, EPP, and different versions of those).
12677
12678 @item @b{Data Aborts} When debugging with OpenOCD and GDB (plain GDB, Insight, or Eclipse),
12679 I get lots of "Error: arm7_9_common.c:1771 arm7_9_read_memory():
12680 memory read caused data abort".
12681
12682 The errors are non-fatal, and are the result of GDB trying to trace stack frames
12683 beyond the last valid frame. It might be possible to prevent this by setting up
12684 a proper "initial" stack frame, if you happen to know what exactly has to
12685 be done, feel free to add this here.
12686
12687 @b{Simple:} In your startup code - push 8 registers of zeros onto the
12688 stack before calling main(). What GDB is doing is ``climbing'' the run
12689 time stack by reading various values on the stack using the standard
12690 call frame for the target. GDB keeps going - until one of 2 things
12691 happen @b{#1} an invalid frame is found, or @b{#2} some huge number of
12692 stackframes have been processed. By pushing zeros on the stack, GDB
12693 gracefully stops.
12694
12695 @b{Debugging Interrupt Service Routines} - In your ISR before you call
12696 your C code, do the same - artificially push some zeros onto the stack,
12697 remember to pop them off when the ISR is done.
12698
12699 @b{Also note:} If you have a multi-threaded operating system, they
12700 often do not @b{in the interest of saving memory} waste these few
12701 bytes. Painful...
12702
12703
12704 @item @b{JTAG Reset Config} I get the following message in the OpenOCD console (or log file):
12705 "Warning: arm7_9_common.c:679 arm7_9_assert_reset(): srst resets test logic, too".
12706
12707 This warning doesn't indicate any serious problem, as long as you don't want to
12708 debug your core right out of reset. Your .cfg file specified @option{reset_config
12709 trst_and_srst srst_pulls_trst} to tell OpenOCD that either your board,
12710 your debugger or your target uC (e.g. LPC2000) can't assert the two reset signals
12711 independently. With this setup, it's not possible to halt the core right out of
12712 reset, everything else should work fine.
12713
12714 @item @b{USB Power} When using OpenOCD in conjunction with Amontec JTAGkey and the Yagarto
12715 toolchain (Eclipse, arm-elf-gcc, arm-elf-gdb), the debugging seems to be
12716 unstable. When single-stepping over large blocks of code, GDB and OpenOCD
12717 quit with an error message. Is there a stability issue with OpenOCD?
12718
12719 No, this is not a stability issue concerning OpenOCD. Most users have solved
12720 this issue by simply using a self-powered USB hub, which they connect their
12721 Amontec JTAGkey to. Apparently, some computers do not provide a USB power
12722 supply stable enough for the Amontec JTAGkey to be operated.
12723
12724 @b{Laptops running on battery have this problem too...}
12725
12726 @item @b{GDB Disconnects} When using the Amontec JTAGkey, sometimes OpenOCD crashes with the following
12727 error message: "Error: gdb_server.c:101 gdb_get_char(): read: 10054".
12728 What does that mean and what might be the reason for this?
12729
12730 Error code 10054 corresponds to WSAECONNRESET, which means that the debugger (GDB)
12731 has closed the connection to OpenOCD. This might be a GDB issue.
12732
12733 @item @b{LPC2000 Flash} In the configuration file in the section where flash device configurations
12734 are described, there is a parameter for specifying the clock frequency
12735 for LPC2000 internal flash devices (e.g. @option{flash bank $_FLASHNAME lpc2000
12736 0x0 0x40000 0 0 $_TARGETNAME lpc2000_v1 14746 calc_checksum}), which must be
12737 specified in kilohertz. However, I do have a quartz crystal of a
12738 frequency that contains fractions of kilohertz (e.g. 14,745,600 Hz,
12739 i.e. 14,745.600 kHz). Is it possible to specify real numbers for the
12740 clock frequency?
12741
12742 No. The clock frequency specified here must be given as an integral number.
12743 However, this clock frequency is used by the In-Application-Programming (IAP)
12744 routines of the LPC2000 family only, which seems to be very tolerant concerning
12745 the given clock frequency, so a slight difference between the specified clock
12746 frequency and the actual clock frequency will not cause any trouble.
12747
12748 @item @b{Command Order} Do I have to keep a specific order for the commands in the configuration file?
12749
12750 Well, yes and no. Commands can be given in arbitrary order, yet the
12751 devices listed for the JTAG scan chain must be given in the right
12752 order (jtag newdevice), with the device closest to the TDO-Pin being
12753 listed first. In general, whenever objects of the same type exist
12754 which require an index number, then these objects must be given in the
12755 right order (jtag newtap, targets and flash banks - a target
12756 references a jtag newtap and a flash bank references a target).
12757
12758 You can use the ``scan_chain'' command to verify and display the tap order.
12759
12760 Also, some commands can't execute until after @command{init} has been
12761 processed. Such commands include @command{nand probe} and everything
12762 else that needs to write to controller registers, perhaps for setting
12763 up DRAM and loading it with code.
12764
12765 @anchor{faqtaporder}
12766 @item @b{JTAG TAP Order} Do I have to declare the TAPS in some
12767 particular order?
12768
12769 Yes; whenever you have more than one, you must declare them in
12770 the same order used by the hardware.
12771
12772 Many newer devices have multiple JTAG TAPs. For example:
12773 STMicroelectronics STM32 chips have two TAPs, a ``boundary scan TAP'' and
12774 ``Cortex-M3'' TAP. Example: The STM32 reference manual, Document ID:
12775 RM0008, Section 26.5, Figure 259, page 651/681, the ``TDI'' pin is
12776 connected to the boundary scan TAP, which then connects to the
12777 Cortex-M3 TAP, which then connects to the TDO pin.
12778
12779 Thus, the proper order for the STM32 chip is: (1) The Cortex-M3, then
12780 (2) The boundary scan TAP. If your board includes an additional JTAG
12781 chip in the scan chain (for example a Xilinx CPLD or FPGA) you could
12782 place it before or after the STM32 chip in the chain. For example:
12783
12784 @itemize @bullet
12785 @item OpenOCD_TDI(output) -> STM32 TDI Pin (BS Input)
12786 @item STM32 BS TDO (output) -> STM32 Cortex-M3 TDI (input)
12787 @item STM32 Cortex-M3 TDO (output) -> SM32 TDO Pin
12788 @item STM32 TDO Pin (output) -> Xilinx TDI Pin (input)
12789 @item Xilinx TDO Pin -> OpenOCD TDO (input)
12790 @end itemize
12791
12792 The ``jtag device'' commands would thus be in the order shown below. Note:
12793
12794 @itemize @bullet
12795 @item jtag newtap Xilinx tap -irlen ...
12796 @item jtag newtap stm32 cpu -irlen ...
12797 @item jtag newtap stm32 bs -irlen ...
12798 @item # Create the debug target and say where it is
12799 @item target create stm32.cpu -chain-position stm32.cpu ...
12800 @end itemize
12801
12802
12803 @item @b{SYSCOMP} Sometimes my debugging session terminates with an error. When I look into the
12804 log file, I can see these error messages: Error: arm7_9_common.c:561
12805 arm7_9_execute_sys_speed(): timeout waiting for SYSCOMP

12813 @cindex Tcl
12814
12815 Not everyone knows Tcl - this is not intended to be a replacement for
12816 learning Tcl, the intent of this chapter is to give you some idea of
12817 how the Tcl scripts work.
12818
12819 This chapter is written with two audiences in mind. (1) OpenOCD users
12820 who need to understand a bit more of how Jim-Tcl works so they can do
12821 something useful, and (2) those that want to add a new command to
12822 OpenOCD.
12823
12824 @section Tcl Rule #1
12825 There is a famous joke, it goes like this:
12826 @enumerate
12827 @item Rule #1: The wife is always correct
12828 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
12829 @end enumerate
12830
12831 The Tcl equal is this:
12832
12833 @enumerate
12834 @item Rule #1: Everything is a string
12835 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
12836 @end enumerate
12837
12838 As in the famous joke, the consequences of Rule #1 are profound. Once
12839 you understand Rule #1, you will understand Tcl.
12840
12841 @section Tcl Rule #1b
12842 There is a second pair of rules.
12843 @enumerate
12844 @item Rule #1: Control flow does not exist. Only commands
12845 @* For example: the classic FOR loop or IF statement is not a control
12846 flow item, they are commands, there is no such thing as control flow
12847 in Tcl.
12848 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
12849 @* Actually what happens is this: There are commands that by
12850 convention, act like control flow key words in other languages. One of
12851 those commands is the word ``for'', another command is ``if''.
12852 @end enumerate
12853
12854 @section Per Rule #1 - All Results are strings
12855 Every Tcl command results in a string. The word ``result'' is used
12856 deliberately. No result is just an empty string. Remember: @i{Rule #1 -
12857 Everything is a string}
12858
12859 @section Tcl Quoting Operators
12860 In life of a Tcl script, there are two important periods of time, the
12861 difference is subtle.
12862 @enumerate
12863 @item Parse Time
12864 @item Evaluation Time
12865 @end enumerate
12866
12867 The two key items here are how ``quoted things'' work in Tcl. Tcl has
12868 three primary quoting constructs, the [square-brackets] the
12869 @{curly-braces@} and ``double-quotes''
12870
12871 By now you should know $VARIABLES always start with a $DOLLAR
12872 sign. BTW: To set a variable, you actually use the command ``set'', as
12873 in ``set VARNAME VALUE'' much like the ancient BASIC language ``let x
12874 = 1'' statement, but without the equal sign.
12875
12876 @itemize @bullet
12877 @item @b{[square-brackets]}
12878 @* @b{[square-brackets]} are command substitutions. It operates much
12879 like Unix Shell `back-ticks`. The result of a [square-bracket]
12880 operation is exactly 1 string. @i{Remember Rule #1 - Everything is a
12881 string}. These two statements are roughly identical:
12882 @example
12883 # bash example
12884 X=`date`
12885 echo "The Date is: $X"
12886 # Tcl example
12887 set X [date]
12888 puts "The Date is: $X"
12889 @end example
12890 @item @b{``double-quoted-things''}
12891 @* @b{``double-quoted-things''} are just simply quoted
12892 text. $VARIABLES and [square-brackets] are expanded in place - the
12893 result however is exactly 1 string. @i{Remember Rule #1 - Everything
12894 is a string}
12895 @example
12896 set x "Dinner"
12897 puts "It is now \"[date]\", $x is in 1 hour"
12898 @end example
12899 @item @b{@{Curly-Braces@}}
12900 @*@b{@{Curly-Braces@}} are magic: $VARIABLES and [square-brackets] are
12901 parsed, but are NOT expanded or executed. @{Curly-Braces@} are like
12902 'single-quote' operators in BASH shell scripts, with the added
12903 feature: @{curly-braces@} can be nested, single quotes can not. @{@{@{this is
12904 nested 3 times@}@}@} NOTE: [date] is a bad example;
12905 at this writing, Jim/OpenOCD does not have a date command.
12906 @end itemize
12907
12908 @section Consequences of Rule 1/2/3/4
12909
12910 The consequences of Rule 1 are profound.
12911
12912 @subsection Tokenisation & Execution.
12913
12914 Of course, whitespace, blank lines and #comment lines are handled in
12915 the normal way.
12916
12917 As a script is parsed, each (multi) line in the script file is
12918 tokenised and according to the quoting rules. After tokenisation, that
12919 line is immediately executed.
12920
12921 Multi line statements end with one or more ``still-open''
12922 @{curly-braces@} which - eventually - closes a few lines later.
12923
12924 @subsection Command Execution
12925
12926 Remember earlier: There are no ``control flow''
12927 statements in Tcl. Instead there are COMMANDS that simply act like
12928 control flow operators.
12929
12930 Commands are executed like this:
12931
12932 @enumerate
12933 @item Parse the next line into (argc) and (argv[]).
12934 @item Look up (argv[0]) in a table and call its function.
12935 @item Repeat until End Of File.
12936 @end enumerate
12937
12938 It sort of works like this:
12939 @example
12940 for(;;)@{
12941 ReadAndParse( &argc, &argv );
12942
12943 cmdPtr = LookupCommand( argv[0] );
12944
12945 (*cmdPtr->Execute)( argc, argv );
12946 @}
12947 @end example
12948
12949 When the command ``proc'' is parsed (which creates a procedure
12950 function) it gets 3 parameters on the command line. @b{1} the name of
12951 the proc (function), @b{2} the list of parameters, and @b{3} the body
12952 of the function. Note the choice of words: LIST and BODY. The PROC
12953 command stores these items in a table somewhere so it can be found by
12954 ``LookupCommand()''
12955
12956 @subsection The FOR command
12957
12958 The most interesting command to look at is the FOR command. In Tcl,
12959 the FOR command is normally implemented in C. Remember, FOR is a
12960 command just like any other command.
12961
12962 When the ascii text containing the FOR command is parsed, the parser
12963 produces 5 parameter strings, @i{(If in doubt: Refer to Rule #1)} they
12964 are:
12965
12966 @enumerate 0
12967 @item The ascii text 'for'
12968 @item The start text
12969 @item The test expression
12970 @item The next text
12971 @item The body text
12972 @end enumerate
12973
12974 Sort of reminds you of ``main( int argc, char **argv )'' does it not?
12975 Remember @i{Rule #1 - Everything is a string.} The key point is this:
12976 Often many of those parameters are in @{curly-braces@} - thus the
12977 variables inside are not expanded or replaced until later.
12978
12979 Remember that every Tcl command looks like the classic ``main( argc,
12980 argv )'' function in C. In JimTCL - they actually look like this:
12981
12982 @example
12983 int
12984 MyCommand( Jim_Interp *interp,
12985 int *argc,
12986 Jim_Obj * const *argvs );
12987 @end example
12988
12989 Real Tcl is nearly identical. Although the newer versions have
12990 introduced a byte-code parser and interpreter, but at the core, it
12991 still operates in the same basic way.
12992
12993 @subsection FOR command implementation
12994
12995 To understand Tcl it is perhaps most helpful to see the FOR
12996 command. Remember, it is a COMMAND not a control flow structure.
12997
12998 In Tcl there are two underlying C helper functions.
12999
13000 Remember Rule #1 - You are a string.
13001
13002 The @b{first} helper parses and executes commands found in an ascii
13003 string. Commands can be separated by semicolons, or newlines. While
13004 parsing, variables are expanded via the quoting rules.
13005
13006 The @b{second} helper evaluates an ascii string as a numerical
13007 expression and returns a value.
13008
13009 Here is an example of how the @b{FOR} command could be
13010 implemented. The pseudo code below does not show error handling.
13011 @example
13012 void Execute_AsciiString( void *interp, const char *string );
13013
13014 int Evaluate_AsciiExpression( void *interp, const char *string );
13015
13016 int
13017 MyForCommand( void *interp,
13018 int argc,
13019 char **argv )
13020 @{
13021 if( argc != 5 )@{
13022 SetResult( interp, "WRONG number of parameters");
13023 return ERROR;
13024 @}
13025
13026 // argv[0] = the ascii string just like C
13027
13028 // Execute the start statement.
13029 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[1] );
13030
13031 // Top of loop test
13032 for(;;)@{
13033 i = Evaluate_AsciiExpression(interp, argv[2]);
13034 if( i == 0 )
13035 break;
13036
13037 // Execute the body
13038 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[3] );
13039
13040 // Execute the LOOP part
13041 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[4] );
13042 @}
13043
13044 // Return no error
13045 SetResult( interp, "" );
13046 return SUCCESS;
13047 @}
13048 @end example
13049
13050 Every other command IF, WHILE, FORMAT, PUTS, EXPR, everything works
13051 in the same basic way.
13052
13053 @section OpenOCD Tcl Usage
13054
13055 @subsection source and find commands
13056 @b{Where:} In many configuration files
13057 @* Example: @b{ source [find FILENAME] }
13058 @*Remember the parsing rules
13059 @enumerate
13060 @item The @command{find} command is in square brackets,
13061 and is executed with the parameter FILENAME. It should find and return
13062 the full path to a file with that name; it uses an internal search path.
13063 The RESULT is a string, which is substituted into the command line in
13064 place of the bracketed @command{find} command.
13065 (Don't try to use a FILENAME which includes the "#" character.
13066 That character begins Tcl comments.)
13067 @item The @command{source} command is executed with the resulting filename;
13068 it reads a file and executes as a script.
13069 @end enumerate
13070 @subsection format command
13071 @b{Where:} Generally occurs in numerous places.
13072 @* Tcl has no command like @b{printf()}, instead it has @b{format}, which is really more like
13073 @b{sprintf()}.
13074 @b{Example}
13075 @example
13076 set x 6
13077 set y 7
13078 puts [format "The answer: %d" [expr @{$x * $y@}]]
13079 @end example
13080 @enumerate
13081 @item The SET command creates 2 variables, X and Y.
13082 @item The double [nested] EXPR command performs math
13083 @* The EXPR command produces numerical result as a string.
13084 @* Refer to Rule #1
13085 @item The format command is executed, producing a single string
13086 @* Refer to Rule #1.
13087 @item The PUTS command outputs the text.
13088 @end enumerate
13089 @subsection Body or Inlined Text
13090 @b{Where:} Various TARGET scripts.
13091 @example
13092 #1 Good
13093 proc someproc @{@} @{
13094 ... multiple lines of stuff ...
13095 @}
13096 $_TARGETNAME configure -event FOO someproc
13097 #2 Good - no variables
13098 $_TARGETNAME configure -event foo "this ; that;"
13099 #3 Good Curly Braces
13100 $_TARGETNAME configure -event FOO @{
13101 puts "Time: [date]"
13102 @}
13103 #4 DANGER DANGER DANGER
13104 $_TARGETNAME configure -event foo "puts \"Time: [date]\""
13105 @end example
13106 @enumerate
13107 @item The $_TARGETNAME is an OpenOCD variable convention.
13108 @*@b{$_TARGETNAME} represents the last target created, the value changes
13109 each time a new target is created. Remember the parsing rules. When
13110 the ascii text is parsed, the @b{$_TARGETNAME} becomes a simple string,
13111 the name of the target which happens to be a TARGET (object)
13112 command.
13113 @item The 2nd parameter to the @option{-event} parameter is a TCBODY
13114 @*There are 4 examples:
13115 @enumerate
13116 @item The TCLBODY is a simple string that happens to be a proc name
13117 @item The TCLBODY is several simple commands separated by semicolons
13118 @item The TCLBODY is a multi-line @{curly-brace@} quoted string
13119 @item The TCLBODY is a string with variables that get expanded.
13120 @end enumerate
13121
13122 In the end, when the target event FOO occurs the TCLBODY is
13123 evaluated. Method @b{#1} and @b{#2} are functionally identical. For
13124 Method @b{#3} and @b{#4} it is more interesting. What is the TCLBODY?
13125
13126 Remember the parsing rules. In case #3, @{curly-braces@} mean the
13127 $VARS and [square-brackets] are expanded later, when the EVENT occurs,
13128 and the text is evaluated. In case #4, they are replaced before the
13129 ``Target Object Command'' is executed. This occurs at the same time
13130 $_TARGETNAME is replaced. In case #4 the date will never
13131 change. @{BTW: [date] is a bad example; at this writing,
13132 Jim/OpenOCD does not have a date command@}

13134 @subsection Global Variables
13135 @b{Where:} You might discover this when writing your own procs @* In
13136 simple terms: Inside a PROC, if you need to access a global variable
13137 you must say so. See also ``upvar''. Example:
13138 @example
13139 proc myproc @{ @} @{
13140 set y 0 #Local variable Y
13141 global x #Global variable X
13142 puts [format "X=%d, Y=%d" $x $y]
13143 @}
13144 @end example

13146 @b{Dynamic variable creation}
13147 @example
13148 # Dynamically create a bunch of variables.
13149 for @{ set x 0 @} @{ $x < 32 @} @{ set x [expr @{$x + 1@}]@} @{
13150 # Create var name
13151 set vn [format "BIT%d" $x]
13152 # Make it a global
13153 global $vn
13154 # Set it.
13155 set $vn [expr @{1 << $x@}]
13156 @}
13157 @end example
13158 @b{Dynamic proc/command creation}
13159 @example
13160 # One "X" function - 5 uart functions.
13161 foreach who @{A B C D E@}
13162 proc [format "show_uart%c" $who] @{ @} "show_UARTx $who"
13163 @}
