@unnumbered About
@cindex about

The Open On-Chip Debugger (OpenOCD) aims to provide debugging,
in-system programming and boundary-scan testing for embedded target
devices.

@b{JTAG:} OpenOCD uses a ``hardware interface dongle'' to communicate
with the JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) complient taps on your target board.

@b{Dongles:} OpenOCD currently many types of hardware dongles: USB
Based, Parallel Port Based, and other standalone boxes that run
OpenOCD internally. See the section titled: @xref{JTAG Hardware Dongles}.

@b{GDB Debug:} It allows ARM7 (ARM7TDMI and ARM720t), ARM9 (ARM920t,
ARM922t, ARM926ej--s, ARM966e--s), XScale (PXA25x, IXP42x) and
Cortex-M3 (Luminary Stellaris LM3 and ST STM32) based cores to be
debugged via the GDB Protocol.

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

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

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

The main OpenOCD web site is available at @uref{http://openocd.berlios.de/web/}

@section Pre-Built Tools
If you are interested in getting actual work done rather than building
OpenOCD, then check if your interface supplier provides binaries for
you. Chances are that that binary is from some SVN version that is more
stable than SVN trunk where bleeding edge development takes place.

@section Packagers Please Read!

If you are a @b{PACKAGER} of OpenOCD if you

@enumerate
@item @b{Sell dongles} and include pre-built binaries
@item @b{Supply tools} ie: A complete development solution
@item @b{Supply IDEs} like Eclipse, or RHIDE, etc.
@item @b{Build packages} ie: RPM files, or DEB files for a Linux Distro
@end enumerate

As a @b{PACKAGER} - you are at the top of the food chain. You solve
problems for downstream users. What you fix or solve - solves hundreds
if not thousands of user questions. If something does not work for you
please let us know. That said, would also like you to follow a few
suggestions:

@enumerate
@item @b{Always build with Printer Ports Enabled}
@item @b{Try where possible to use LIBFTDI + LIBUSB} You cover more bases
@end enumerate

It is your decision..

@itemize @bullet
@item @b{Why YES to LIBFTDI + LIBUSB}
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{LESS} work - libusb perhaps already there
@item @b{LESS} work - identical code multiple platforms
@item @b{MORE} dongles are supported
@item @b{MORE} platforms are supported
@item @b{MORE} complete solution
@end itemize
@item @b{Why not LIBFTDI + LIBUSB} (ie: ftd2xx instead)
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{LESS} Some say it is slower.
@item @b{LESS} complex to distribute (external dependencies)
@end itemize
@end itemize

@section Building From Source

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

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

or

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

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

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

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

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

libftdi is supported under windows. Do not use versions earlier then 0.14.

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

To build OpenOCD (on both Linux and Cygwin), use the following commands:
@example
 ./bootstrap 
@end example
Bootstrap generates the configure script, and prepares building on your system.
@example
 ./configure [options, see below]
@end example
Configure generates the Makefiles used to build OpenOCD.
@example
 make 
 make install
@end example
Make builds OpenOCD, and places the final executable in ./src/, the last step, ``make install'' is optional.

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

@itemize @bullet
@item
@option{--enable-parport} - Bit bang pc printer ports.
@item
@option{--enable-parport_ppdev} - Parallel Port [see below]
@item
@option{--enable-parport_giveio} - Parallel Port [see below]
@item
@option{--enable-amtjtagaccel} - Parallel Port [Amontec, see below]
@item
@option{--enable-ft2232_ftd2xx} - Numerous USB Type ARM JTAG dongles use the FT2232C chip from this FTDICHIP.COM chip (closed source).
@item
@option{--enable-ft2232_libftdi} - An open source (free) alternate to FTDICHIP.COM ftd2xx solution (Linux, MacOS, Cygwin)
@item
@option{--with-ftd2xx-win32-zipdir=PATH} - If using FTDICHIP.COM ft2232c, point at the directory where the Win32 FTDICHIP.COM 'CDM' driver zip file was unpacked.
@item
@option{--with-ftd2xx-linux-tardir=PATH} - Linux only equal of @option{--with-ftd2xx-win32-zipdir}, where you unpacked the TAR.GZ file.
@item
@option{--with-ftd2xx-lib=shared|static} - Linux only. Default: static, specifies how the FTDICHIP.COM libftd2xx driver should be linked. Note 'static' only works in conjunction with @option{--with-ftd2xx-linux-tardir}. Shared is supported (12/26/2008), however you must manually install the required header files and shared libraries in an appropriate place. This uses ``libusb'' internally.
@item
@option{--enable-gw16012}
@item
@option{--enable-usbprog}
@item
@option{--enable-presto_libftdi}
@item
@option{--enable-presto_ftd2xx}
@item
@option{--enable-jlink} - From SEGGER
@item
@option{--enable-vsllink}
@item
@option{--enable-rlink} - Raisonance.com dongle.
@end itemize

@section Parallel Port Dongles

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

@section FT2232C Based USB Dongles 

There are 2 methods of using the FTD2232, either (1) using the
FTDICHIP.COM closed source driver, or (2) the open (and free) driver
libftdi. Some claim the (closed) FTDICHIP.COM solution is faster.

The FTDICHIP drivers come as either a (win32) ZIP file, or a (linux)
TAR.GZ file. You must unpack them ``some where'' convient. As of this
writing (12/26/2008) FTDICHIP does not supply means to install these
files ``in an appropriate place'' As a result, there are two
``./configure'' options that help. 

Below is an example build process:

1) Check out the latest version of ``openocd'' from SVN.

2) Download & Unpack either the Windows or Linux FTD2xx Drivers
    (@uref{http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm})

@example
   /home/duane/ftd2xx.win32    => the Cygwin/Win32 ZIP file contents.
   /home/duane/libftd2xx0.4.16 => the Linux TAR file contents.
@end example

3) Configure with these options:

@example
Cygwin FTCICHIP solution
   ./configure --prefix=/home/duane/mytools \ 
                  --enable-ft2232_ftd2xx \
                  --with-ftd2xx-win32-zipdir=/home/duane/ftd2xx.win32

Linux FTDICHIP solution
   ./configure --prefix=/home/duane/mytools \
                  --enable-ft2232_ftd2xx \
                  --with-ft2xx-linux-tardir=/home/duane/libftd2xx0.4.16

Cygwin/Linux LIBFTDI solution
    Assumes: 
    1a) For Windows: The windows port of LIBUSB is in place.
    1b) For Linux: libusb has been built and is inplace.

    2) And libftdi has been built and installed
    Note: libftdi - relies upon libusb.

    ./configure --prefix=/home/duane/mytools \
                   --enable-ft2232_libftdi
       
@end example

4) Then just type ``make'', and perhaps ``make install''.

@section Choosing a Dongle

There are three things you should keep in mind when choosing a dongle. 

@enumerate 
@item @b{Voltage} What voltage is your target? 1.8, 2.8, 3.3, or 5V? Does your dongle support it?
@item @b{Connection} Printer Ports - Does your computer have one?

@section Stand alone Systems

@b{ZY1000} See: @url{http://www.zylin.com/zy1000.html} Technically, not a
dongle, but a standalone box.

@section USB FT2232 Based

There are many USB jtag dongles on the market, many of them are based
on a chip from ``Future Technology Devices International'' (FTDI)
known as the FTDI FT2232.

@end verbatim

By default OpenOCD reads the file configuration file ``openocd.cfg''
in the current directory.  To specify a different (or multiple)
configuration file, you can use the ``-f'' option. For example:

@example
  openocd -f config1.cfg -f config2.cfg -f config3.cfg
@end example

Once started, OpenOCD runs as a daemon, waiting for connections from
clients (Telnet, GDB, Other).

If you are having problems, you can enable internal debug messages via
the ``-d'' option.

Also it is possible to interleave commands w/config scripts using the
@option{-c} command line switch.

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

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

Search paths for config/script files can be added to OpenOCD by using
the @option{-s <search>} switch. The current directory and the OpenOCD
target library is in the search path by default.

For details on the @option{-p} option. @xref{Connecting to GDB}.

Note! OpenOCD will launch the GDB & telnet server even if it can not
establish a connection with the target. In general, it is possible for
the JTAG controller to be unresponsive until the target is set up
correctly via e.g. GDB monitor commands in a GDB init script.

@node Simple Configuration Files
@chapter Simple Configuration Files
@cindex configuration

@section Outline
There are 4 basic ways of ``configurating'' OpenOCD to run, they are:

@enumerate
@item A small openocd.cfg file which ``sources'' other configuration files
@item A monolithic openocd.cfg file
@item Many -f filename options on the command line
@item Your Mixed Solution
@end enumerate

@section Small configuration file method

This is the prefered method, it is simple and is works well for many
people.  The developers of OpenOCD would encourage you to use this
method. If you create a new configuration please email new
configurations to the development list.

Here is an example of an openocd.cfg file for an ATMEL at91sam7x256

@example
source [find interface/signalyzer.cfg]

# Change the default telnet port...
telnet_port 4444
# GDB connects here
gdb_port 3333
# GDB can also flash my flash!
gdb_memory_map enable
gdb_flash_program enable

source [find target/sam7x256.cfg]
@end example

There are many example configuration scripts you can work with. You
should look in the directory: @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/lib/openocd}. You
should find:

@enumerate
@item @b{board} - eval board level configurations
@item @b{interface} - specific dongle configurations
@item @b{target} - the target chips
@item @b{tcl} - helper scripts 
@item @b{xscale} - things specific to the xscale.
@end enumerate

Look first in the ``boards'' area, then the ``targets'' area. Often a board
configuration is a good example to work from.

@section Many -f filename options
Some believe this is a wonderful solution, others find it painful.

You can use a series of ``-f filename'' options on the command line,
OpenOCD will read each filename in sequence, for example:

@example
        openocd -f file1.cfg -f file2.cfg -f file2.cfg
@end example

You can also intermix various commands with the ``-c'' command line
option.

@section Monolithic file
The ``Monolithic File'' dispenses with all ``source'' statements and
puts everything in one self contained (monolithic) file. This is not
encouraged. 

Please try to ``source'' various files or use the multiple -f
technique.

@section Advice for you
Often, one uses a ``mixed approach''. Where possible, please try to
``source'' common things, and if needed cut/paste parts of the
standard distribution configuration files as needed.

@b{REMEMBER:} The ``important parts'' of your configuration file are:

@enumerate
@item @b{Interface} - Defines the dongle
@item @b{Taps} - Defines the JTAG Taps
@item @b{GDB Targets} - What GDB talks to
@item @b{Flash Programing} - Very Helpful
@end enumerate

Some key things you should look at and understand are:

@enumerate
@item The RESET configuration of your debug environment as a hole
@item Is there a ``work area'' that OpenOCD can use?

@node Config File Guidelines
@chapter Config File Guidelines

This section/chapter is aimed at developers and integrators of
OpenOCD. These are guidelines for creating new boards and new target
configurations as of 28/Nov/2008.

However, you the user of OpenOCD should be some what familiar with
this section as it should help explain some of the internals of what
you might be looking at.

The user should find under @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/lib/openocd} the
following directories:

@itemize @bullet
@item @b{interface}
@*Think JTAG Dongle. Files that configure the jtag dongle go here.
@item @b{board}
@* Thing Circuit Board, PWA, PCB, they go by many names.  Board files
contain initialization items that are specific to a board - for
example: The SDRAM initialization sequence for the board, or the type
of external flash and what address it is found at. Any initialization
sequence to enable that external flash or sdram should be found in the
board file. Boards may also contain multiple targets, ie: Two cpus, or
a CPU and an FPGA or CPLD.
@item @b{target}
@* Think CHIP. The ``target'' directory represents a jtag tap (or
chip) OpenOCD should control, not a board. Two common types of targets
are ARM chips and FPGA or CPLD chips.
@end itemize

@b{If needed...} The user in their ``openocd.cfg'' file or the board
file might override a specific feature in any of the above files by
setting a variable or two before sourcing the target file. Or adding
various commands specific to their situation.

@section Interface Config Files

The user should be able to source one of these files via a command like this:

@example
  source [find interface/FOOBAR.cfg]
Or:
  openocd -f interface/FOOBAR.cfg
@end example

A preconfigured interface file should exist for every interface in use
today, that said, perhaps some interfaces have only been used by the
sole developer who created it.

@b{FIXME/NOTE:} We need to add support for a variable like TCL variable
tcl_platform(platform), it should be called jim_platform (because it
is jim, not real tcl) and it should contain 1 of 3 words: ``linux'',
``cygwin'' or ``mingw''

Interface files should be found in @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/lib/openocd/interface}

@section Board Config Files

@b{Note: BOARD directory NEW as of 28/nov/2008} 

The user should be able to source one of these files via a command like this:

@example
  source [find board/FOOBAR.cfg]
Or:
  openocd -f board/FOOBAR.cfg
@end example


The board file should contain one or more @t{source [find
target/FOO.cfg]} statements along with any board specific things.

In summery the board files should contain (if present)

@enumerate
@item External flash configuration (ie: the flash on CS0)
@item SDRAM configuration (size, speed, etc)
@item Board specific IO configuration (ie: GPIO pins might disable a 2nd flash)
@item Multiple TARGET source statements
@item All things that are not ``inside a chip''
@item Things inside a chip go in a 'target' file
@end enumerate

@section Target Config Files

The user should be able to source one of these files via a command like this:

@example
  source [find target/FOOBAR.cfg]
Or:
  openocd -f target/FOOBAR.cfg
@end example

In summery the target files should contain

@enumerate 
@item Set Defaults
@item Create Taps
@item Reset Configuration
@item Work Areas
@item CPU/Chip/CPU-Core Specific features
@item OnChip Flash
@end enumerate

@subsection Important variable names

By default, the end user should never need to set these
variables. However, if the user needs to override a setting they only
need to set the variable in a simple way.

@itemize @bullet
@item @b{CHIPNAME}
@* This gives a name to the overall chip, and is used as part of the
tap identifier dotted name.
@item @b{ENDIAN}
@* By default little - unless the chip or board is not normally used that way.
@item @b{CPUTAPID}
@* When OpenOCD examines the JTAG chain, it will attempt to identify
every chip. If the @t{-expected-id} is nonzero, OpenOCD attempts
to verify the tap id number verses configuration file and may issue an
error or warning like this. The hope is this will help pin point
problem OpenOCD configurations.

@example
Info:   JTAG tap: sam7x256.cpu tap/device found: 0x3f0f0f0f (Manufacturer: 0x787, Part: 0xf0f0, Version: 0x3)
Error:  ERROR: Tap: sam7x256.cpu - Expected id: 0x12345678, Got: 0x3f0f0f0f
Error:  ERROR: expected: mfg: 0x33c, part: 0x2345, ver: 0x1
Error:  ERROR:      got: mfg: 0x787, part: 0xf0f0, ver: 0x3
@end example

@item @b{_TARGETNAME}
@* By convention, this variable is created by the target configuration
script. The board configuration file may make use of this variable to
configure things like a ``reset init'' script, or other things
specific to that board and that target.

If the chip has 2 targets, use the names @b{_TARGETNAME0},
@b{_TARGETNAME1}, ... etc.

@b{Remember:} The ``board file'' may include multiple targets.

At no time should the name ``target0'' (the default target name if
none was specified) be used. The name ``target0'' is a hard coded name
- the next target on the board will be some other number.

The user (or board file) should reasonably be able to:

@example
   source [find target/FOO.cfg]
   $_TARGETNAME configure ... FOO specific parameters

   source [find target/BAR.cfg]
   $_TARGETNAME configure ... BAR specific parameters
@end example

@end itemize

@subsection TCL Variables Guide Line
The Full Tcl/Tk language supports ``namespaces'' - JIM-Tcl does not.

Thus the rule we follow in OpenOCD is this: Variables that begin with
a leading underscore are temporal in nature, and can be modified and
used at will within a ?TARGET? configuration file

@b{EXAMPLE:} The user should be able to do this:

@example
   # Board has 3 chips,
   #    PXA270 #1 network side, big endian
   #    PXA270 #2 video side, little endian
   #    Xilinx    Glue logic
   set CHIPNAME network
   set ENDIAN big
   source [find target/pxa270.cfg]
   # variable: _TARGETNAME = network.cpu
   # other commands can refer to the "network.cpu" tap.
   $_TARGETNAME configure .... params for this cpu..
   
   set ENDIAN little
   set CHIPNAME video
   source [find target/pxa270.cfg]
   # variable: _TARGETNAME = video.cpu
   # other commands can refer to the "video.cpu" tap.
   $_TARGETNAME configure .... params for this cpu..
   
   unset ENDIAN
   set CHIPNAME xilinx
   source [find target/spartan3.cfg]

   # Since $_TARGETNAME is temporal..
   #  these names still work!
   network.cpu configure ... params
   video.cpu   configure ... params

@end example

@subsection Default Value Boiler Plate Code

All target configuration files should start with this (or a modified form)

@example
# SIMPLE example
if @{ [info exists CHIPNAME] @} @{      
   set  _CHIPNAME $CHIPNAME    
@} else @{       
   set  _CHIPNAME sam7x256
@}

if @{ [info exists ENDIAN] @} @{        
   set  _ENDIAN $ENDIAN    
@} else @{       
   set  _ENDIAN little
@}

if @{ [info exists CPUTAPID ] @} @{
   set _CPUTAPID $CPUTAPID
@} else @{
   set _CPUTAPID 0x3f0f0f0f
@}

@end example

@subsection Creating Taps
After the ``defaults'' are choosen, [see above], the taps are created.

@b{SIMPLE example:} such as an Atmel AT91SAM7X256

@example
# for an ARM7TDMI.
set _TARGETNAME [format "%s.cpu" $_CHIPNAME]
jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME cpu -irlen 4 -ircapture 0x1 -irmask 0xf -expected-id $_CPUTAPID
@end example

@b{COMPLEX example:}

This is an SNIP/example for an STR912 - which has 3 internal taps. Key features shown:

@enumerate
@item @b{Unform tap names} - See: Tap Naming Convention
@item @b{_TARGETNAME} is created at the end where used.
@end enumerate

@example
if @{ [info exists FLASHTAPID ] @} @{
   set _FLASHTAPID $FLASHTAPID
@} else @{
   set _FLASHTAPID 0x25966041
@}
jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME flash -irlen 8 -ircapture 0x1 -irmask 0x1 -expected-id $_FLASHTAPID

if @{ [info exists CPUTAPID ] @} @{
   set _CPUTAPID $CPUTAPID
@} else @{
   set _CPUTAPID 0x25966041
@}
jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME cpu   -irlen 4 -ircapture 0xf -irmask 0xe -expected-id $_CPUTAPID


if @{ [info exists BSTAPID ] @} @{
   set _BSTAPID $BSTAPID
@} else @{
   set _BSTAPID 0x1457f041
@}
jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME bs    -irlen 5 -ircapture 0x1 -irmask 0x1 -expected-id $_BSTAPID

set _TARGETNAME [format "%s.cpu" $_CHIPNAME]
@end example

@b{Tap Naming Convention}

See the command ``jtag newtap'' for detail, but in breif the names you should use are:

@itemize @bullet
@item @b{tap}
@item @b{cpu}
@item @b{flash}
@item @b{bs}
@item @b{jrc}
@item @b{unknownN} - it happens :-(
@end itemize

@subsection Reset Configuration

Some chips have specific ways the TRST and SRST signals are
managed. If these are @b{CHIP SPECIFIC} they go here, if they are
@b{BOARD SPECIFIC} they go in the board file.

@subsection Work Areas

Work areas are small RAM areas used by OpenOCD to speed up downloads,
and to download small snippits of code to program flash chips.  

If the chip includes an form of ``on-chip-ram'' - and many do - define
a reasonable work area and use the ``backup'' option.

@b{PROBLEMS:} On more complex chips, this ``work area'' may become
inaccessable if/when the application code enables or disables the MMU.

@subsection ARM Core Specific Hacks

If the chip has a DCC, enable it. If the chip is an arm9 with some
special high speed download - enable it.

If the chip has an ARM ``vector catch'' feature - by defeault enable
it for Undefined Instructions, Data Abort, and Prefetch Abort, if the
user is really writing a handler for those situations - they can
easily disable it.  Experiance has shown the ``vector catch'' is
helpful - for common programing errors.

If present, the MMU, the MPU and the CACHE should be disabled.

@subsection Internal Flash Configuration

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

@b{Never ever} in the ``target configuration file'' define any type of
flash that is external to the chip. (For example the BOOT flash on
Chip Select 0). The BOOT flash information goes in a board file - not
the TARGET (chip) file.

Examples:
@itemize @bullet
@item at91sam7x256 - has 256K flash YES enable it.
@item str912 - has flash internal YES enable it.
@item imx27 - uses boot flash on CS0 - it goes in the board file.
@item pxa270 - again - CS0 flash - it goes in the board file.
@end itemize

@node About JIM-Tcl
@chapter About JIM-Tcl
@cindex JIM Tcl
@cindex tcl

OpenOCD includes a small ``TCL Interpreter'' known as JIM-TCL. You can
learn more about JIM here: @url{http://jim.berlios.de}

@itemize @bullet
@item @b{JIM vrs TCL}
@* JIM-TCL is a stripped down version of the well known Tcl language,
which can be found here: @url{http://www.tcl.tk}. JIM-Tcl has far
fewer features. JIM-Tcl is a single .C file and a single .H file and
impliments the basic TCL command set along. In contrast: Tcl 8.6 is a
4.2MEG zip file containing 1540 files.

@item @b{Missing Features}
@* Our practice has been: Add/clone the Real TCL feature if/when
needed. We welcome JIM Tcl improvements, not bloat.

@item @b{Scripts}
@* OpenOCD configuration scripts are JIM Tcl Scripts. OpenOCD's
command interpretor today (28/nov/2008) is a mixture of (newer)
JIM-Tcl commands, and (older) the orginal command interpretor.

@item @b{Commands}
@* At the OpenOCD telnet command line (or via the GDB mon command) one
can type a Tcl for() loop, set variables, etc.

@item @b{Historical Note}
@* JIM-Tcl was introduced to OpenOCD in Spring 2008.

@item @b{Need a Crash Course In TCL?}
@* See: @xref{TCL Crash Course}.

@node Daemon Configuration
@chapter Daemon Configuration
The commands here are commonly found in the openocd.cfg file and are
used to specify what TCP/IP ports are used, and how GDB should be
supported.
@section init
@cindex init
This command terminates the configuration stage and
enters the normal command mode. This can be useful to add commands to
the startup scripts and commands such as resetting the target,
programming flash, etc. To reset the CPU upon startup, add "init" and
"reset" at the end of the config script or at the end of the OpenOCD
command line using the @option{-c} command line switch.

If this command does not appear in any startup/configuration file
OpenOCD executes the command for you after processing all
configuration files and/or command line options.

@b{NOTE:} This command normally occurs at or near the end of your
openocd.cfg file to force OpenOCD to ``initialize'' and make the
targets ready. For example: If your openocd.cfg file needs to
read/write memory on your target - the init command must occur before
the memory read/write commands.

@section TCP/IP Ports
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{telnet_port} <@var{number}>
@cindex telnet_port
@*Intended for a human. Port on which to listen for incoming telnet connections.

@item @b{tcl_port} <@var{number}>
@cindex tcl_port
@*Intended as a machine interface. Port on which to listen for
incoming TCL syntax. This port is intended as a simplified RPC
connection that can be used by clients to issue commands and get the
output from the TCL engine.

@item @b{gdb_port} <@var{number}>
@cindex gdb_port
@*First port on which to listen for incoming GDB connections. The GDB port for the
first target will be gdb_port, the second target will listen on gdb_port + 1, and so on. 
@end itemize

@section GDB Items
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{gdb_breakpoint_override} <@var{hard|soft|disabled}>
@cindex gdb_breakpoint_override
@anchor{gdb_breakpoint_override}
@*Force breakpoint type for gdb 'break' commands.
The raison d'etre for this option is to support GDB GUI's without 
a hard/soft breakpoint concept where the default OpenOCD and
GDB behaviour is not sufficient. Note that GDB will use hardware
breakpoints if the memory map has been set up for flash regions.

This option replaces older arm7_9 target commands that addressed
the same issue.

@item @b{gdb_detach} <@var{resume|reset|halt|nothing}>
@cindex gdb_detach
@*Configures what OpenOCD will do when gdb detaches from the daeman.
Default behaviour is <@var{resume}>

@item @b{gdb_memory_map} <@var{enable|disable}>
@cindex gdb_memory_map
@*Set to <@var{enable}> to cause OpenOCD to send the memory configuration to gdb when
requested. gdb will then know when to set hardware breakpoints, and program flash
using the gdb load command. @option{gdb_flash_program enable} will also need enabling
for flash programming to work.
Default behaviour is <@var{enable}>
@xref{gdb_flash_program}.

@item @b{gdb_flash_program} <@var{enable|disable}>
@cindex gdb_flash_program
@anchor{gdb_flash_program}
@*Set to <@var{enable}> to cause OpenOCD to program the flash memory when a
vFlash packet is received.
Default behaviour is <@var{enable}>

@section JTAG Speed
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{jtag_khz} <@var{reset speed kHz}>
@cindex jtag_khz

It is debatable if this command belongs here - or in a board
configuration file. In fact, in some situations the jtag speed is
changed during the target initialization process (ie: (1) slow at
reset, (2) program the cpu clocks, (3) run fast)

Speed 0 (khz) selects RTCK method. A non-zero speed is in KHZ. Hence: 3000 is 3mhz. 

Not all interfaces support ``rtck''. If the interface device can not
support the rate asked for, or can not translate from kHz to
jtag_speed, then an error is returned.

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

@b{NOTE: Script writers} If the target chip requires/uses RTCK -
please use the command: 'jtag_rclk FREQ'. This TCL proc (in
startup.tcl) attempts to enable RTCK, if that fails it falls back to
the specified frequency.

@example
    # Fall back to 3mhz if RCLK is not supported
    jtag_rclk 3000
@end example

@item @b{DEPRICATED} @b{jtag_speed} - please use jtag_khz above.
@cindex jtag_speed
@*Limit the maximum speed of the JTAG interface. Usually, a value of zero means maximum
speed. The actual effect of this option depends on the JTAG interface used. 

The speed used during reset can be adjusted using setting jtag_speed during
pre_reset and post_reset events.

@node Reset Configuration
@chapter Reset Configuration
@cindex reset configuration

Every system configuration may require a different reset
configuration. This can also be quite confusing. Please see the
various board files for example.

@section jtag_nsrst_delay <@var{ms}>
@cindex jtag_nsrst_delay
@*How long (in milliseconds) OpenOCD should wait after deasserting
nSRST before starting new JTAG operations.

@section jtag_ntrst_delay <@var{ms}>
@cindex jtag_ntrst_delay
@*Same @b{jtag_nsrst_delay}, but for nTRST  

The jtag_n[st]rst_delay options are useful if reset circuitry (like a
big resistor/capacitor, reset supervisor, or on-chip features). This
keeps the signal asserted for some time after the external reset got
deasserted.

@section reset_config

@b{Note:} To maintainer types and integrators. Where exactly the
``reset configuration'' goes is a good question. It touches several
things at once. In the end, if you have a board file - the board file
should define it and assume 100% that the DONGLE supports
anything. However, that does not mean the target should not also make
not of something the silicon vendor has done inside the
chip. @i{Grr.... nothing is every pretty.}

@* @b{Problems:} 
@enumerate
@item Every JTAG Dongle is slightly different, some dongles impliment reset differently.
@item Every board is also slightly different; some boards tie TRST and SRST together.
@item Every chip is slightly different; some chips internally tie the two signals together.
@item Some may not impliment all of the signals the same way.
@item Some signals might be push-pull, others open-drain/collector.
@end enumerate
@b{Best Case:} OpenOCD can hold the SRST (push-button-reset), then
reset the TAP via TRST and send commands through the JTAG tap to halt
the CPU at the reset vector before the 1st instruction is executed,
and finally release the SRST signal.
@*Depending upon your board vendor, your chip vendor, etc, these
signals may have slightly different names. 

OpenOCD defines these signals in these terms:
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{TRST} - is Tap Reset - and should reset only the TAP.
@item @b{SRST} - is System Reset - typically equal to a reset push button.
@end itemize

The Command:

@itemize @bullet
@item @b{reset_config} <@var{signals}> [@var{combination}] [@var{trst_type}] [@var{srst_type}]
@cindex reset_config
@* The @t{reset_config} command tells OpenOCD the reset configuration
of your combination of Dongle, Board, and Chips.
If the JTAG interface provides SRST, but the target doesn't connect
that signal properly, then OpenOCD can't use it. <@var{signals}> can
be @option{none}, @option{trst_only}, @option{srst_only} or
@option{trst_and_srst}.

[@var{combination}] is an optional value specifying broken reset
signal implementations.  @option{srst_pulls_trst} states that the
testlogic is reset together with the reset of the system (e.g. Philips
LPC2000, "broken" board layout), @option{trst_pulls_srst} says that
the system is reset together with the test logic (only hypothetical, I
haven't seen hardware with such a bug, and can be worked around).
@option{combined} imples both @option{srst_pulls_trst} and
@option{trst_pulls_srst}.  The default behaviour if no option given is
@option{separate}.

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

@node Tap Creation
@chapter Tap Creation
@cindex tap creation
@cindex tap configuration

In order for OpenOCD to control a target, a JTAG tap must be
defined/created.

Commands to create taps are normally found in a configuration file and
are not normally typed by a human.

When a tap is created a @b{dotted.name} is created for the tap. Other
commands use that dotted.name to manipulate or refer to the tap.

Tap Uses:
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{Debug Target} A tap can be used by a GDB debug target
@item @b{Flash Programing} Some chips program the flash via JTAG
@item @b{Boundry Scan} Some chips support boundry scan.

@item @b{Technically}
@* newtap is a sub command of the ``jtag'' command
@item @b{Big Picture Background}
@*GDB Talks to OpenOCD using the GDB protocol via
tcpip. OpenOCD then uses the JTAG interface (the dongle) to
control the JTAG chain on your board. Your board has one or more chips
in a @i{daisy chain configuration}. Each chip may have one or more
jtag taps. GDB ends up talking via OpenOCD to one of the taps.
@item @b{NAME Rules}
@*Names follow ``C'' symbol name rules (start with alpha ...)
@item @b{TAPNAME - Conventions}
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{tap} - should be used only FPGA or CPLD like devices with a single tap.
@item @b{cpu} - the main cpu of the chip, alternatively @b{foo.arm} and @b{foo.dsp}
@item @b{flash} - if the chip has a flash tap, example: str912.flash
@item @b{bs} - for boundary scan if this is a seperate tap.
@item @b{jrc} - for jtag route controller (example: OMAP3530 found on Beagleboards)
@item @b{unknownN} - where N is a number if you have no idea what the tap is for
@item @b{Other names} - Freescale IMX31 has a SDMA (smart dma) with a JTAG tap, that tap should be called the ``sdma'' tap.
@item @b{When in doubt} - use the chip makers name in their data sheet.
@end itemize
@item @b{DOTTED.NAME}
@* @b{CHIPNAME}.@b{TAPNAME} creates the tap name, aka: the
@b{Dotted.Name} is the @b{CHIPNAME} and @b{TAPNAME} combined with a
dot (period); for example: @b{xilinx.tap}, @b{str912.flash},
@b{omap3530.jrc}, or @b{stm32.cpu} The @b{dotted.name} is used in
numerous other places to refer to various taps.
@item @b{ORDER}
@* The order this command appears via the config files is
important.
@item @b{Multi Tap Example}
@* This example is based on the ST Microsystems STR912. See the ST
document titled: @b{STR91xFAxxx, Section 3.15 Jtag Interface, Page:
28/102, Figure 3: Jtag chaining inside the STR91xFA}.

@url{http://eu.st.com/stonline/products/literature/ds/13495.pdf}
@*@b{checked: 28/nov/2008}

The diagram shows the TDO pin connects to the flash tap, flash TDI
connects to the CPU debug tap, CPU TDI connects to the boundary scan
tap which then connects to the TDI pin.

@example
   # The order is...
   # create tap: 'str912.flash'
   jtag newtap str912 flash  ... params ...
   # create tap: 'str912.cpu'
   jtag newtap str912 cpu  ... params ...
   # create tap: 'str912.bs'
   jtag newtap str912 bs  ... params ...
@end example

@item @b{Note: Deprecated} - Index Numbers
@* Prior to 28/nov/2008, JTAG taps where numbered from 0..N this
feature is still present, however its use is highly discouraged and
should not be counted upon.
@item @b{Multiple chips}
@* If your board has multiple chips, you should be
able to @b{source} two configuration files, in the proper order, and
have the taps created in the proper order.

@* @b{Removed: 28/nov/2008} This command has been removed and replaced
by the ``jtag newtap'' command. The documentation remains here so that
one can easily convert the old syntax to the new syntax. About the old
syntax: The old syntax is positional, ie: The 3rd parameter is the
``irmask''. The new syntax requires named prefixes, and supports
additional options, for example ``-expected-id 0x3f0f0f0f''. Please refer to the
@b{jtag newtap} command for details.
@example
OLD: jtag_device 8 0x01 0xe3 0xfe
NEW: jtag newtap CHIPNAME TAPNAME -irlen 8 -ircapture 0x01 -irmask 0xe3

@section Enable/Disable Taps
@b{Note:} These commands are intended to be used as a machine/script
interface. Humans might find the ``scan_chain'' command more helpful
when querying the state of the JTAG taps.

@b{By default, all taps are enabled}

@itemize @bullet

@cindex tap enable
@cindex tap disable
@cindex JRC
@cindex route controller

These commands are used when your target has a JTAG Route controller
that effectively adds or removes a tap from the jtag chain in a
non-standard way.

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


From OpenOCD's view point, a JTAG TAP is in one of 3 states:

@itemize @bullet
@item @b{Enabled - Not In ByPass} and has a variable bit length
@item @b{Enabled - In ByPass} and has a length of exactly 1 bit.
@item @b{Disabled} and has a length of ZERO and is removed from the circuit.
@end itemize

The IEEE JTAG definition has no concept of a ``disabled'' tap.
@b{Historical note:} this feature was added 28/nov/2008

@b{jtag tapisenabled DOTTED.NAME}

This command returns 1 if the named tap is currently enabled, 0 if not.
This command exists so that scripts that manipulate a JRC (like the
Omap3530 has) can determine if OpenOCD thinks a tap is presently
enabled, or disabled.

@page
@node Target Configuration
@chapter Target Configuration

This chapter discusses how to create a GDB Debug Target.  Before
creating a ``target'' a JTAG Tap DOTTED.NAME must exist first.

@section targets [NAME]
@b{Note:} This command name is PLURAL - not singular.  

With NO parameter, this plural @b{targets} command lists all known
targets in a human friendly form.

With a parameter, this pural @b{targets} command sets the current
target to the given name. (ie: If there are multiple debug targets)

Example:
@verbatim
(gdb) mon targets
      CmdName     Type     Endian    ChainPos   State     
--  ---------- ---------- ---------- -------- ----------
    0: target0  arm7tdmi   little        0      halted
@end verbatim

@section target COMMANDS
@b{Note:} This command name is SINGULAR - not plural. It is used to
manipulate specific targets, to create targets and other things.

Once a target is created, a TARGETNAME (object) command is created;
see below for details.

The TARGET command accepts these sub-commands:
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{create} .. parameters ..
@* creates a new target, See below for details.
@item @b{types}
@* Lists all supported target types (perhaps some are not yet in this document).
@item @b{names}
@* Lists all current debug target names, for example: 'str912.cpu' or 'pxa27.cpu' example usage:
@verbatim  
        foreach t [target names] {
            puts [format "Target: %s\n" $t]
        }
@end verbatim
@item @b{current}
@* Returns the current target. OpenOCD always has, or refers to the ``current target'' in some way.
By default, commands like: ``mww'' (used to write memory) operate on the current target.
@item @b{number} @b{NUMBER}
@* Internally OpenOCD maintains a list of targets - in numerical index
(0..N-1) this command returns the name of the target at index N.
Example usage:
@verbatim
    set thename [target number $x]
    puts [format "Target %d is: %s\n" $x $thename]
@end verbatim
@item @b{count}
@* Returns the number of targets known to OpenOCD (see number above)
Example:
@verbatim
    set c [target count]
    for { set x 0 } { $x < $c } { incr x } {
        # Assuming you have created this function
        print_target_details $x
    }
@end verbatim

@end itemize

@section TARGETNAME (object) commands
@b{Use:} Once a target is created, an ``object name'' that represents the
target is created. By convention, the target name is identical to the
tap name. In a multiple target system, one can preceed many common
commands with a specific target name and effect only that target.
@example
    str912.cpu    mww 0x1234 0x42
    omap3530.cpu  mww 0x5555 123
@end example

@b{Model:} The Tcl/Tk language has the concept of object commands. A
good example is a on screen button, once a button is created a button
has a name (a path in TK terms) and that name is useable as a 1st
class command. For example in TK, one can create a button and later
configure it like this:

@example
    # Create
    button .foobar -background red -command @{ foo @}
    # Modify
    .foobar configure -foreground blue
    # Query
    set x [.foobar cget -background]
    # Report
    puts [format "The button is %s" $x]
@end example
    
In OpenOCD's terms, the ``target'' is an object just like a Tcl/Tk
button. Commands avaialble as a ``target object'' are:

@comment START targetobj commands.
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{configure} - configure the target; see Target Config/Cget Options below
@item @b{cget} - query the target configuration; see Target Config/Cget Options below
@item @b{curstate} - current target state (running, halt, etc)
@item @b{eventlist}
@* Intended for a human to see/read the currently configure target events.
@item @b{Various Memory Commands} See the ``mww'' command elsewhere.
@comment start memory

@* Where:
@*   @b{ARRAYNAME} is the name of an array variable
@*   @b{WIDTH} is 8/16/32 - indicating the memory access size
@*   @b{ADDRESS} is the target memory address
@*   @b{COUNT} is the number of elements to process
@end itemize
@item @b{Used during ``reset''}
@* These commands are used internally by the OpenOCD scripts to deal
with odd reset situations and are not documented here.
@itemize @bullet

@item @b{arp_poll}
@item @b{arp_reset}
@item @b{arp_halt}
@item @b{arp_waitstate}
@end itemize
@item @b{invoke-event} @b{EVENT-NAME}
@* Invokes the specific event manually for the target
@end itemize

@section Target Events
At various times, certain things can happen, or you want them to happen.

Examples:
@itemize @bullet
@item What should happen when GDB connects? Should your target reset?
@item When GDB tries to flash the target, do you need to enable the flash via a special command?
@item During reset, do you need to write to certain memory location to reconfigure the SDRAM?
@end itemize

All of the above items are handled by target events.

To specify an event action, either during target creation, or later
via ``$_TARGETNAME configure'' see this example.

Syntactially, the option is: ``-event NAME BODY'' where NAME is a
target event name, and BODY is a tcl procedure or string of commands
to execute. 

The programmers model is the ``-command'' option used in Tcl/Tk
buttons and events. Below are two identical examples, the first
creates and invokes small procedure. The second inlines the procedure.

@example
   proc my_attach_proc @{ @} @{
       puts "RESET...."
       reset halt
   @}
   mychip.cpu configure -event gdb-attach my_attach_proc 
   mychip.cpu configure -event gdb-attach @{ puts "Reset..." ; reset halt @}
@end example

@item @b{arm920t}
@* None.
@item @b{arm966e}
@* None (this is also used as the ARM946)
@item @b{cortex_m3}
@* use variant <@var{-variant lm3s}> when debugging luminary lm3s targets. This will cause
OpenOCD to use a software reset rather than asserting SRST to avoid a issue with clearing
the debug registers. This is fixed in Fury Rev B, DustDevil Rev B, Tempest, these revisions will
be detected and the normal reset behaviour used.
@item @b{xscale}
@* Supported variants are @option{ixp42x}, @option{ixp45x}, @option{ixp46x},@option{pxa250}, @option{pxa255}, @option{pxa26x}.
@item @b{arm11}
@* Supported variants are @option{arm1136}, @option{arm1156}, @option{arm1176}
@item @b{mips_m4k}
@* Use variant @option{ejtag_srst} when debugging targets that do not
provide a functional SRST line on the EJTAG connector.  This causes
OpenOCD to instead use an EJTAG software reset command to reset the
processor.  You still need to enable @option{srst} on the reset
configuration command to enable OpenOCD hardware reset functionality.
@comment END varients

@section working_area - Command Removed
@cindex working_area
@*@b{Please use the ``$_TARGETNAME configure -work-area-... parameters instead}
@* This documentation remains because there are existing scripts that
still use this that need to be converted.
@example
  working_area target# address  size backup| [virtualaddress]
@end example
@* The target# is a the 0 based target numerical index.

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

@b{Note:} As of 28/nov/2008 OpenOCD does not know how to program a SPI
flash that a micro may boot from. Perhaps you the reader would like to
contribute support for this.

Flash Steps:
@enumerate
@item Configure via the command @b{flash bank} 
@* Normally this is done in a configuration file.
@item Operate on the flash via @b{flash SOMECOMMAND}
@* Often commands to manipulate the flash are typed by a human, or run
via a script in some automated way. For example: To program the boot
flash on your board.
@item GDB Flashing
@* Flashing via GDB requires the flash be configured via ``flash

@section flash bank command
The @b{flash bank} command is used to configure one or more flash chips (or banks in OpenOCD terms)

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

@subsection External Flash - cfi options
@cindex cfi options
CFI flash are external flash chips - often they are connected to a
specific chip select on the micro. By default at hard reset most
micros have the ablity to ``boot'' from some flash chip - typically
attached to the chips CS0 pin.

For other chip selects: OpenOCD does not know how to configure, or
access a specific chip select. Instead you the human might need to via
other commands (like: mww) configure additional chip selects, or
perhaps configure a GPIO pin that controls the ``write protect'' pin
on the FLASH chip.

@b{flash bank cfi} <@var{base}> <@var{size}> <@var{chip_width}> <@var{bus_width}>
<@var{target#}> [@var{jedec_probe}|@var{x16_as_x8}]
@*CFI flashes require the number of the target they're connected to as an additional
argument. The CFI driver makes use of a working area (specified for the target)
to significantly speed up operation. 

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

The @var{jedec_probe} option is used to detect certain non-CFI flash roms, like AM29LV010 and similar types.

@section Micro Controller Specific Flash Commands

@subsection AT91SAM7 specific commands
@cindex AT91SAM7 specific commands
The flash configuration is deduced from the chip identification register. The flash
controller handles erases automatically on a page (128/265 byte) basis so erase is
not necessary for flash programming. AT91SAM7 processors with less than 512K flash
only have a single flash bank embedded on chip. AT91SAM7xx512 have two flash planes
that can be erased separatly. Only an EraseAll command is supported by the controller
for each flash plane and this is called with
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{flash erase} <@var{num}> @var{first_plane} @var{last_plane}
@*bulk erase flash planes first_plane to last_plane. 
@item @b{at91sam7 gpnvm} <@var{num}> <@var{bit}> <@option{set}|@option{clear}>
@cindex at91sam7 gpnvm
@*set or clear a gpnvm bit for the processor 
@end itemize

@subsection STR9 specific commands
@cindex STR9 specific commands
@anchor{STR9 specific commands}
These are flash specific commands when using the str9xpec driver.
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{str9xpec enable_turbo} <@var{num}>
@cindex str9xpec enable_turbo
@*enable turbo mode, simply this will remove the str9 from the chain and talk
directly to the embedded flash controller. 
@item @b{str9xpec disable_turbo} <@var{num}>
@cindex str9xpec disable_turbo
@*restore the str9 into jtag chain. 
@item @b{str9xpec lock} <@var{num}>
@cindex str9xpec lock
@*lock str9 device. The str9 will only respond to an unlock command that will
erase the device. 
@item @b{str9xpec unlock} <@var{num}>
@cindex str9xpec unlock
@*unlock str9 device. 
@item @b{str9xpec options_read} <@var{num}>
@cindex str9xpec options_read
@*read str9 option bytes. 
@item @b{str9xpec options_write} <@var{num}>
@cindex str9xpec options_write
@*write str9 option bytes. 
@end itemize

Note: Before using the str9xpec driver here is some background info to help
you better understand how the drivers works. OpenOCD has two flash drivers for
the str9.
@enumerate
@item
Standard driver @option{str9x} programmed via the str9 core. Normally used for
flash programming as it is faster than the @option{str9xpec} driver.
@item
Direct programming @option{str9xpec} using the flash controller, this is
ISC compilant (IEEE 1532) tap connected in series with the str9 core. The str9
core does not need to be running to program using this flash driver. Typical use
for this driver is locking/unlocking the target and programming the option bytes.
@end enumerate

Before we run any cmds using the @option{str9xpec} driver we must first disable
the str9 core. This example assumes the @option{str9xpec} driver has been
configured for flash bank 0.
@example
# assert srst, we do not want core running
# while accessing str9xpec flash driver
jtag_reset 0 1
# turn off target polling
poll off
# disable str9 core
str9xpec enable_turbo 0
# read option bytes
str9xpec options_read 0
# re-enable str9 core
str9xpec disable_turbo 0
poll on
reset halt
@end example
The above example will read the str9 option bytes.
When performing a unlock remember that you will not be able to halt the str9 - it
has been locked. Halting the core is not required for the @option{str9xpec} driver
as mentioned above, just issue the cmds above manually or from a telnet prompt.

@node General Commands
@chapter General Commands
@cindex commands

The commands documented in this chapter here are common commands that
you a human may want to type and see the output of. Configuration type
commands are documented elsewhere.

Intent:
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{Source Of Commands}
@* OpenOCD commands can occur in a configuration script (discussed
elsewhere) or typed manually by a human or supplied programatically,
or via one of several Tcp/Ip Ports.

@item @b{From the human}
@* A human should interact with the Telnet interface (default port: 4444,
or via GDB, default port 3333)

To issue commands from within a GDB session, use the @option{monitor}
command, e.g. use @option{monitor poll} to issue the @option{poll}
command. All output is relayed through the GDB session.

@item @b{Machine Interface}
The TCL interface intent is to be a machine interface. The default TCL
port is 5555.
@end itemize


@section Daemon Commands

@subsection sleep [@var{msec}]
@cindex sleep
@*Wait for n milliseconds before resuming. Useful in connection with script files
(@var{script} command and @var{target_script} configuration). 

@subsection shutdown
@cindex shutdown
@*Close the OpenOCD daemon, disconnecting all clients (GDB, Telnet, Other). 

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

@subsection fast [@var{enable|disable}]
@cindex fast
@*Default disabled. Set default behaviour of OpenOCD to be "fast and dangerous". For instance ARM7/9 DCC memory
downloads and fast memory access will work if the JTAG interface isn't too fast and
the core doesn't run at a too low frequency. Note that this option only changes the default
and that the indvidual options, like DCC memory downloads, can be enabled and disabled
individually. 

The target specific "dangerous" optimisation tweaking options may come and go
as more robust and user friendly ways are found to ensure maximum throughput
and robustness with a minimum of configuration. 

Typically the "fast enable" is specified first on the command line:

@example
openocd -c "fast enable" -c "interface dummy" -f target/str710.cfg
@end example

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

@subsection script <@var{file}>
@cindex script
@*Execute commands from <file> 
Also see: ``source [find FILENAME]''

@section Target state handling
@subsection power <@var{on}|@var{off}>
@cindex reg
@*Turn power switch to target on/off. 
No arguments: print status.
Not all interfaces support this.

@subsection reg [@option{#}|@option{name}] [value]
@cindex reg
@*Access a single register by its number[@option{#}] or by its [@option{name}].
No arguments: list all available registers for the current target.
Number or name argument: display a register
Number or name and value arguments: set register value

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

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

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

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

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

@subsection reset [@option{run}|@option{halt}|@option{init}]
@cindex reset
@*Perform a hard-reset. The optional parameter specifies what should happen after the reset.

With no arguments a "reset run" is executed
@itemize @minus
@item @b{run}
@cindex reset run
@*Let the target run.
@item @b{halt}
@cindex reset halt
@*Immediately halt the target (works only with certain configurations).
@item @b{init}
@cindex reset init
@*Immediately halt the target, and execute the reset script (works only with certain
configurations)
@end itemize

@subsection soft_reset_halt
@cindex reset
@*Requesting target halt and executing a soft reset.  This often used
when a target cannot be reset and halted. The target, after reset is
released begins to execute code. OpenOCD attempts to stop the CPU and
then sets the Program counter back at the reset vector. Unfortunatlly
that code that was executed may have left hardware in an unknown
state.


@section Memory access commands
@subsection meminfo
display available ram memory.
@subsection Memory Peek/Poke type commands
These commands allow accesses of a specific size to the memory
system. Often these are used to configure the current target in some
special way. For example - one may need to write certian values to the
SDRAM controller to enable SDRAM.

@enumerate
@item To change the current target see the ``targets'' (plural) command
@item In system level scripts these commands are depricated, please use the TARGET object versions.
@end enumerate

@b{fast_load_image} <@var{file}> <@var{address}> [@option{bin}|@option{ihex}|@option{elf}]
@cindex fast_load_image
@anchor{fast_load_image}
@*Normally you should be using @b{load_image} or GDB load. However, for
testing purposes or when IO overhead is significant(OpenOCD running on embedded
host), then storing the image in memory and uploading the image to the target
can be a way to upload e.g. multiple debug sessions when the binary does not change.
Arguments as @b{load_image}, but image is stored in OpenOCD host
memory, i.e. does not affect target.  This approach is also useful when profiling
target programming performance as IO and target programming can easily be profiled
seperately.
@subsection fast_load

Generally most people will not use the bulk of these commands. They

directly manipulate the JTAG taps.

In general these commands control JTAG taps at a very low level. For
example if you need to control a JTAG Route Controller (ie: the
OMAP3530 on the Beagle Board has one) you might use these commands in
a script or an event procedure.

@node TFTP
@chapter TFTP
@cindex TFTP
If OpenOCD runs on an embedded host(as ZY1000 does), then tftp can
be used to access files on PCs(either developer PC or some other PC).

The way this works on the ZY1000 is to prefix a filename by
"/tftp/ip/" and append the tftp path on the tftp
server(tftpd). E.g. "load_image /tftp/10.0.0.96/c:\temp\abc.elf" will
load c:\temp\abc.elf from the developer pc (10.0.0.96) into memory as
if the file was hosted on the embedded host.

In order to achieve decent performance, you must choose a tftp server
that supports a packet size bigger than the default packet size(512 bytes). There
are numerous tftp servers out there(free and commercial) and you will have to do
a bit of googling to find something that fits your requirements.

@node Sample Scripts

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

@section Connecting to GDB
@cindex Connecting to GDB
@anchor{Connecting to GDB}
Use GDB 6.7 or newer with OpenOCD if you run into trouble. For
instance 6.3 has a known bug where it produces bogus memory access
errors, which has since been fixed: look up 1836 in
@url{http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?database=gdb}

@*OpenOCD can communicate with GDB in two ways:
@enumerate
@item
A socket (tcp) connection is typically started as follows:
@example
target remote localhost:3333
@end example
This would cause GDB to connect to the gdbserver on the local pc using port 3333.
@item
A pipe connection is typically started as follows:
@example
target remote | openocd --pipe
@end example
This would cause GDB to run OpenOCD and communicate using pipes (stdin/stdout).
Using this method has the advantage of GDB starting/stopping OpenOCD for the debug
session.
@end enumerate

@*To see a list of available OpenOCD commands type @option{monitor help} on the
GDB commandline.

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

Previous versions of OpenOCD required the following GDB options to increase
the packet size and speed up GDB communication.
@example
set remote memory-write-packet-size 1024
set remote memory-write-packet-size fixed
set remote memory-read-packet-size 1024
set remote memory-read-packet-size fixed
@end example
This is now handled in the @option{qSupported} PacketSize and should not be required.

@section Programming using GDB
@cindex Programming using GDB

By default the target memory map is sent to GDB, this can be disabled by
the following OpenOCD config option:
@example
gdb_memory_map disable
@end example
For this to function correctly a valid flash config must also be configured
in OpenOCD. For faster performance you should also configure a valid 
working area.

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

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

GDB 6.8 and higher set any memory area not in the memory map as inaccessible,
this can be changed to the old behaviour by using the following GDB command.
@example
set mem inaccessible-by-default off
@end example

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

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

If the target needs configuring before GDB programming, an event
script can be executed.
@example
$_TARGETNAME configure -event EVENTNAME BODY
@end example

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

@node TCL scripting API
@chapter TCL scripting API
@cindex TCL scripting API
API rules

The commands are stateless. E.g. the telnet command line has a concept
of currently active target, the Tcl API proc's take this sort of state
information as an argument to each proc.

There are three main types of return values: single value, name value
pair list and lists. 

Name value pair. The proc 'foo' below returns a name/value pair
list. 

@verbatim

 >  set foo(me)  Duane
 >  set foo(you) Oyvind
 >  set foo(mouse) Micky
 >  set foo(duck) Donald

If one does this:

 >  set foo

The result is:

    me Duane you Oyvind mouse Micky duck Donald

Thus, to get the names of the associative array is easy:

     foreach  { name value }   [set foo]   {
                puts "Name: $name, Value: $value"
     }
@end verbatim
 
Lists returned must be relatively small. Otherwise a range
should be passed in to the proc in question.

Low level commands are prefixed with "openocd_", e.g. openocd_flash_banks
is the low level API upon which "flash banks" is implemented.

@itemize @bullet
@item @b{ocd_mem2array} <@var{varname}> <@var{width}> <@var{addr}> <@var{nelems}>

Read memory and return as a TCL array for script processing
@item @b{ocd_array2mem} <@var{varname}> <@var{width}> <@var{addr}> <@var{nelems}>

Convert a TCL array to memory locations and write the values
@item @b{ocd_flash_banks} <@var{driver}> <@var{base}> <@var{size}> <@var{chip_width}> <@var{bus_width}> <@var{target}> [@option{driver options} ...]

Return information about the flash banks
@end itemize

OpenOCD commands can consist of two words, e.g. "flash banks". The
startup.tcl "unknown" proc will translate this into a tcl proc
called "flash_banks".

@node FAQ
@chapter FAQ
@cindex faq
@enumerate
@item @b{RTCK, also known as: Adaptive Clocking - What is it?}
@cindex RTCK
@cindex adaptive clocking
@*

In digital circuit design it is often refered to as ``clock
synchronisation'' the JTAG interface uses one clock (TCK or TCLK)
operating at some speed, your target is operating at another.  The two
clocks are not synchronised, they are ``asynchronous''

In order for the two to work together they must be synchronised. Otherwise
the two systems will get out of sync with each other and nothing will
work. There are 2 basic options.
@enumerate
@item
Use a special circuit.
@item
One clock must be some multiple slower the the other.
@end enumerate

@b{Does this really matter?} For some chips and some situations, this
is a non-issue (ie: A 500MHz ARM926) but for others - for example some
ATMEL SAM7 and SAM9 chips start operation from reset at 32kHz -
program/enable the oscillators and eventually the main clock. It is in
those critical times you must slow the jtag clock to sometimes 1 to
4kHz.

Imagine debugging that 500MHz ARM926 hand held battery powered device
that ``deep sleeps'' at 32kHz between every keystroke. It can be
painful.

@b{Solution #1 - A special circuit} 

In order to make use of this your jtag dongle must support the RTCK
feature. Not all dongles support this - keep reading!

The RTCK signal often found in some ARM chips is used to help with
this problem. ARM has a good description of the problem described at
this link: @url{http://www.arm.com/support/faqdev/4170.html} [checked
28/nov/2008]. Link title: ``How does the jtag synchronisation logic
work? / how does adaptive clocking work?''.

The nice thing about adaptive clocking is that ``battery powered hand
held device example'' - the adaptiveness works perfectly all the
time. One can set a break point or halt the system in the deep power
down code, slow step out until the system speeds up.

@b{Solution #2 - Always works - but may be slower}

Often this is a perfectly acceptable solution.

In the most simple terms: Often the JTAG clock must be 1/10 to 1/12 of
the target clock speed. But what is that ``magic division'' it varies
depending upon the chips on your board. @b{ARM Rule of thumb} Most ARM
based systems require an 8:1 division. @b{Xilinx Rule of thumb} is
1/12 the clock speed.

Note: Many FTDI2232C based JTAG dongles are limited to 6MHz.

You can still debug the 'lower power' situations - you just need to
manually adjust the clock speed at every step. While painful and
teadious, it is not always practical.

It is however easy to ``code your way around it'' - ie: Cheat a little
have a special debug mode in your application that does a ``high power
sleep''. If you are careful - 98% of your problems can be debugged
this way.

To set the JTAG frequency use the command:

@example
        # Example: 1.234MHz
        jtag_khz 1234
@end example


@item @b{Win32 Pathnames} Why does not backslashes in paths under Windows doesn't work?

OpenOCD uses Tcl and a backslash is an escape char. Use @{ and @}
around Windows filenames. 

@example
> echo \a

> echo @{\a@}
\a
> echo "\a"

>
@end example


@item @b{Missing: cygwin1.dll} OpenOCD complains about a missing cygwin1.dll.

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

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

GDB issues software breakpoints when a normal breakpoint is requested, or to implement
source-line single-stepping. On ARMv4T systems, like ARM7TDMI, ARM720t or ARM920t,
software breakpoints consume one of the two available hardware breakpoints.  

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

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

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

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

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

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

@b{Simple:} In your startup code - push 8 registers of ZEROs onto the
stack before calling main(). What GDB is doing is ``climbing'' the run
time stack by reading various values on the stack using the standard
call frame for the target. GDB keeps going - until one of 2 things
happen @b{#1} an invalid frame is found, or @b{#2} some huge number of
stackframes have been processed. By pushing ZEROs on the stack, GDB
gracefully stops.

@b{Debugging Interrupt Service Routines} - In your ISR before you call
your C code, do the same, artifically push some zeros on to the stack,
remember to pop them off when the ISR is done.

@b{Also note:} If you have a multi-threaded operating system, they
often do not @b{in the intrest of saving memory} waste these few
bytes. Painful... 


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

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

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

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

@b{Laptops running on battery have this problem too...}

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

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

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

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

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

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

@item @b{Command Order} Do I have to keep a specific order for the commands in the configuration file?

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

You can use the ``scan_chain'' command to verify and display the tap order.

@item @b{JTAG Tap Order} JTAG Tap Order - Command Order

Many newer devices have multiple JTAG taps. For example: ST
Microsystems STM32 chips have two taps, a ``boundary scan tap'' and
``CortexM3'' tap.  Example: The STM32 reference manual, Document ID:
RM0008, Section 26.5, Figure 259, page 651/681, the ``TDI'' pin is
connected to the Boundary Scan Tap, which then connects to the
CortexM3 Tap, which then connects to the TDO pin.

Thus, the proper order for the STM32 chip is: (1) The CortexM3, then
(2) The Boundary Scan Tap. If your board includes an additional JTAG
chip in the scan chain (for example a Xilinx CPLD or FPGA) you could
place it before or after the stm32 chip in the chain. For example:

@itemize @bullet
@item OpenOCD_TDI(output) -> STM32 TDI Pin (BS Input)
@item STM32 BS TDO (output) -> STM32 CortexM3 TDI (input)
@item STM32 CortexM3 TDO (output) -> SM32 TDO Pin
@item STM32 TDO Pin (output) -> Xilinx TDI Pin (input)
@item Xilinx TDO Pin -> OpenOCD TDO (input)
@end itemize

The ``jtag device'' commands would thus be in the order shown below. Note 

@itemize @bullet
@item jtag newtap Xilinx tap -irlen ...
@item jtag newtap stm32  cpu -irlen ...
@item jtag newtap stm32  bs  -irlen ...
@item # Create the debug target and say where it is
@item target create stm32.cpu -chain-position stm32.cpu ...
@end itemize


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

@node TCL Crash Course
@chapter TCL Crash Course
@cindex TCL 

Not everyone knows TCL - this is not intended to be a replacement for
learning TCL, the intent of this chapter is to give you some idea of
how the TCL Scripts work.

This chapter is written with two audiences in mind. (1) OpenOCD users
who need to understand a bit more of how JIM-Tcl works so they can do
something useful, and (2) those that want to add a new command to
OpenOCD.

@section TCL Rule #1
There is a famous joke, it goes like this:
@enumerate
@item Rule #1: The wife is always correct
@item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
@end enumerate

The TCL equal is this:

@enumerate
@item Rule #1: Everything is a string
@item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
@end enumerate

As in the famous joke, the consequences of Rule #1 are profound. Once
you understand Rule #1, you will understand TCL.

@section TCL Rule #1b
There is a second pair of rules.
@enumerate
@item Rule #1: Control flow does not exist. Only commands
@* For example: the classic FOR loop or IF statement is not a control
flow item, they are commands, there is no such thing as control flow
in TCL.
@item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
@* Actually what happens is this: There are commands that by
convention, act like control flow key words in other languages. One of
those commands is the word ``for'', another command is ``if''.
@end enumerate

@section Per Rule #1 - All Results are strings
Every TCL command results in a string. The word ``result'' is used
deliberatly. No result is just an empty string. Remember: @i{Rule #1 -
Everything is a string}

@section TCL Quoting Operators
In life of a TCL script, there are two important periods of time, the
difference is subtle.
@enumerate
@item Parse Time
@item Evaluation Time
@end enumerate

The two key items here are how ``quoted things'' work in TCL. TCL has
three primary quoting constructs, the [square-brackets] the
@{curly-braces@} and ``double-quotes''

By now you should know $VARIABLES always start with a $DOLLAR
sign. BTW, to set a variable, you actually use the command ``set'', as
in ``set VARNAME VALUE'' much like the ancient BASIC langauge ``let x
= 1'' statement, but without the equal sign.

@itemize @bullet
@item @b{[square-brackets]}
@* @b{[square-brackets]} are command subsitution. It operates much
like Unix Shell `back-ticks`. The result of a [square-bracket]
operation is exactly 1 string. @i{Remember Rule #1 - Everything is a
string}. These two statments are roughly identical.
@example
    # bash example
    X=`date`
    echo "The Date is: $X"
    # TCL example
    set X [date]
    puts "The Date is: $X"
@end example
@item @b{``double-quoted-things''}
@* @b{``double-quoted-things''} are just simply quoted
text. $VARIABLES and [square-brackets] are expanded in place - the
result however is exactly 1 string. @i{Remember Rule #1 - Everything
is a string}
@example
    set x "Dinner"
    puts "It is now \"[date]\", $x is in 1 hour"
@end example
@item @b{@{Curly-Braces@}}
@*@b{@{Curly-Braces@}} are magic: $VARIABLES and [square-brackets] are
parsed, but are NOT expanded or executed. @{Curly-Braces@} are like
'single-quote' operators in BASH shell scripts, with the added
feature: @{curly-braces@} nest, single quotes can not.  @{@{@{this is
nested 3 times@}@}@} NOTE: [date] is perhaps a bad example, as of
28/nov/2008, Jim/OpenOCD does not have a date command.
@end itemize

@section Consequences of Rule 1/2/3/4

The consequences of Rule 1 is profound.

@subsection Tokenizing & Execution.

Of course, whitespace, blank lines and #comment lines are handled in
the normal way.

As a script is parsed, each (multi) line in the script file is
tokenized and according to the quoting rules. After tokenizing, that
line is immedatly executed.

Multi line statements end with one or more ``still-open''
@{curly-braces@} which - eventually - a few lines later closes.

@subsection Command Execution

Remember earlier: There is no such thing as ``control flow''
statements in TCL. Instead there are COMMANDS that simpily act like
control flow operators.

Commands are executed like this:

@enumerate 
@item Parse the next line into (argc) and (argv[]).
@item Look up (argv[0]) in a table and call its function.
@item Repeat until End Of File.
@end enumerate

It sort of works like this:
@example
    for(;;)@{
        ReadAndParse( &argc, &argv );

        cmdPtr = LookupCommand( argv[0] );

        (*cmdPtr->Execute)( argc, argv );
    @}
@end example

When the command ``proc'' is parsed (which creates a procedure
function) it gets 3 parameters on the command line. @b{1} the name of
the proc (function), @b{2} the list of parameters, and @b{3} the body
of the function. Not the choice of words: LIST and BODY. The PROC
command stores these items in a table somewhere so it can be found by
``LookupCommand()''

@subsection The FOR Command

The most interesting command to look at is the FOR command.  In TCL,
the FOR command is normally implimented in C. Remember, FOR is a
command just like any other command.

When the ascii text containing the FOR command is parsed, the parser
produces 5 parameter strings, @i{(If in doubt: Refer to Rule #1)} they
are:

@enumerate 0
@item The ascii text 'for'
@item The start text
@item The test expression
@item The next text
@item The body text
@end enumerate

Sort of reminds you of ``main( int argc, char **argv )'' does it not?
Remember @i{Rule #1 - Everything is a string.} The key point is this:
Often many of those parameters are in @{curly-braces@} - thus the
variables inside are not expanded or replaced until later.

Remember that every TCL command looks like the classic ``main( argc,
argv )'' function in C. In JimTCL - they actually look like this:

@example
int
MyCommand( Jim_Interp *interp,
           int *argc,
           Jim_Obj * const *argvs );
@end example

Real TCL is nearly identical. Although the newer versions have
introduced a byte-code parser and intepreter, but at the core, it
still operates in the same basic way.

@subsection FOR Command Implimentation

To understand TCL it is perhaps most helpful to see the FOR
command. Remember, it is a COMMAND not a control flow structure.

In TCL there are two underying C helper functions.

Remember Rule #1 - You are a string.

The @b{first} helper parses and executes commands found in an ascii
string. Commands can be seperated by semi-colons, or newlines. While
parsing, variables are expanded per the quoting rules

The @b{second} helper evaluates an ascii string as a numerical
expression and returns a value.

Here is an example of how the @b{FOR} command could be
implimented. The pseudo code below does not show error handling.
@example
void Execute_AsciiString( void *interp, const char *string );

int Evaluate_AsciiExpression( void *interp, const char *string );

int
MyForCommand( void *interp,
              int argc,
              char **argv )
@{
   if( argc != 5 )@{
       SetResult( interp, "WRONG number of parameters");
       return ERROR;
   @}
   
   // argv[0] = the ascii string just like C

   // Execute the start statement.
   Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[1] );

   // Top of loop test
   for(;;)@{
        i = Evaluate_AsciiExpression(interp, argv[2]);
        if( i == 0 )
            break;

        // Execute the body
        Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[3] );

        // Execute the LOOP  part
        Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[4] );
    @}

    // Return no error
    SetResult( interp, "" );
    return SUCCESS;
@}
@end example        

Every other command IF, WHILE, FORMAT, PUTS, EXPR, everything works
in the same basic way.

@section OpenOCD TCL Usage

@subsection source and find commands
@b{Where:} In many configuration files
@* Example: @b{ source [find FILENAME] }
@*Remember the parsing rules
@enumerate
@item The FIND command is in square brackets.
@* The FIND command is executed with the parameter FILENAME. It should
find the full path to the named file. The RESULT is a string, which is
subsituted on the orginal command line.
@item The command source is executed with the resulting filename.
@* SOURCE reads a file and executes as a script.
@end enumerate
@subsection format command
@b{Where:} Generally occurs in numerous places.  
@* TCL no command like @b{printf()}, intead it has @b{format}, which is really more like
@b{sprintf()}.  
@b{Example}
@example
    set x 6
    set y 7
    puts [format "The answer: %d" [expr $x * $y]]
@end example
@enumerate
@item The SET command creates 2 variables, X and Y.
@item The double [nested] EXPR command performs math
@* The EXPR command produces numerical result as a string. 
@* Refer to Rule #1
@item The format command is executed, producing a single string
@* Refer to Rule #1.
@item The PUTS command outputs the text.
@end enumerate
@subsection Body Or Inlined Text
@b{Where:} Various TARGET scripts.
@example
#1 Good
   proc someproc @{@} @{
       ... multiple lines of stuff ...
   @}
   $_TARGETNAME configure -event FOO  someproc
#2 Good - no variables
   $_TARGETNAME confgure -event foo "this ; that;"
#3 Good Curly Braces
   $_TARGETNAME configure -event FOO @{
        puts "Time: [date]"
   @}
#4 DANGER DANGER DANGER
   $_TARGETNAME configure -event foo "puts \"Time: [date]\""
@end example
@enumerate 
@item The $_TARGETNAME is an OpenOCD variable convention.
@*@b{$_TARGETNAME} represents the last target created, the value changes
each time a new target is created. Remember the parsing rules. When
the ascii text is parsed, the @b{$_TARGETNAME} becomes a simple string,
the name of the target which happens to be a TARGET (object)
command.
@item The 2nd parameter to the @option{-event} parameter is a TCBODY
@*There are 4 examples:
@enumerate
@item The TCLBODY is a simple string that happens to be a proc name
@item The TCLBODY is several simple commands semi-colon seperated
@item The TCLBODY is a multi-line @{curly-brace@} quoted string
@item The TCLBODY is a string with variables that get expanded.
@end enumerate

In the end, when the target event FOO occurs the TCLBODY is
evaluated. Method @b{#1} and @b{#2} are functionally identical.  For
Method @b{#3} and @b{#4} it is more interesting. What is the TCLBODY?

Remember the parsing rules. In case #3, @{curly-braces@} mean the
$VARS and [square-brackets] are expanded later, when the EVENT occurs,
and the text is evaluated. In case #4, they are replaced before the
``Target Object Command'' is executed. This occurs at the same time
$_TARGETNAME is replaced. In case #4 the date will never
change. @{BTW: [date] is perhaps a bad example, as of 28/nov/2008,
Jim/OpenOCD does not have a date command@}
@end enumerate
@subsection Global Variables
@b{Where:} You might discover this when writing your own procs @* In
simple terms: Inside a PROC, if you need to access a global variable
you must say so. Also see ``upvar''. Example:
@example
proc myproc @{ @} @{
     set y 0  #Local variable Y
     global x #Global variable X
     puts [format "X=%d, Y=%d" $x $y]
@}
@end example
@section Other Tcl Hacks
@b{Dynamic Variable Creation}
@example
# Dynamically create a bunch of variables.
for @{ set x 0  @} @{ $x < 32 @} @{ set x [expr $x + 1]@} @{
    # Create var name
    set vn [format "BIT%d" $x]
    # Make it a global
    global $vn
    # Set it.
    set $vn   [expr (1 << $x)]
@}
@end example
@b{Dynamic Proc/Command Creation}
@example
# One "X" function - 5 uart functions.
foreach who @{A B C D E@}
   proc [format "show_uart%c" $who] @{ @} "show_UARTx $who"
@}
@end example

@node Target library
@chapter Target library
@cindex Target library

OpenOCD comes with a target configuration script library. These scripts can be
used as-is or serve as a starting point.

The target library is published together with the OpenOCD executable and 
the path to the target library is in the OpenOCD script search path.
Similarly there are example scripts for configuring the JTAG interface. 

The command line below uses the example parport configuration scripts
that ship with OpenOCD, then configures the str710.cfg target and
finally issues the init and reset command. The communication speed
is set to 10kHz for reset and 8MHz for post reset.


@example
openocd -f interface/parport.cfg -f target/str710.cfg -c "init" -c "reset"
@end example


To list the target scripts available:

@example
$ ls  /usr/local/lib/openocd/target

arm7_fast.cfg    lm3s6965.cfg  pxa255.cfg      stm32.cfg   xba_revA3.cfg
at91eb40a.cfg    lpc2148.cfg   pxa255_sst.cfg  str710.cfg  zy1000.cfg
