101 OpenOCD was created by Dominic Rath as part of a diploma thesis written at the
102 University of Applied Sciences Augsburg (@uref{http://www.fh-augsburg.de}).
103 Since that time, the project has grown into an active open-source project,
104 supported by a diverse community of software and hardware developers from
105 around the world.
106
107 @section What is OpenOCD?
108
109 The Open On-Chip Debugger (OpenOCD) aims to provide debugging,
110 in-system programming and boundary-scan testing for embedded target
111 devices.
112
113 @b{JTAG:} OpenOCD uses a ``hardware interface dongle'' to communicate
114 with the JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) compliant TAPs on your target board.
115 A @dfn{TAP} is a ``Test Access Port'', a module which processes
116 special instructions and data. TAPs are daisy-chained within and
117 between chips and boards.
118
119 @b{Dongles:} OpenOCD currently supports many types of hardware dongles: USB
120 based, parallel port based, and other standalone boxes that run
121 OpenOCD internally. @xref{JTAG Hardware Dongles}.
122
123 @b{GDB Debug:} It allows ARM7 (ARM7TDMI and ARM720t), ARM9 (ARM920T,
124 ARM922T, ARM926EJ--S, ARM966E--S), XScale (PXA25x, IXP42x) and
125 Cortex-M3 (Stellaris LM3 and ST STM32) based cores to be
126 debugged via the GDB protocol.
127
128 @b{Flash Programing:} Flash writing is supported for external CFI
129 compatible NOR flashes (Intel and AMD/Spansion command set) and several
130 internal flashes (LPC2000, AT91SAM7, STR7x, STR9x, LM3, and
131 STM32x). Preliminary support for various NAND flash controllers
132 (LPC3180, Orion, S3C24xx, more) controller is included.
133
134 @section OpenOCD Web Site
135
136 The OpenOCD web site provides the latest public news from the community:
137
138 @uref{http://openocd.berlios.de/web/}
139
140 @section Latest User's Guide:
141
142 The user's guide you are now reading may not be the latest one
143 available. A version for more recent code may be available.
144 Its HTML form is published irregularly at:
145
146 @uref{http://openocd.berlios.de/doc/html/index.html}
147
148 PDF form is likewise published at:

150 @uref{http://openocd.berlios.de/doc/pdf/openocd.pdf}
151
152 @section OpenOCD User's Forum
153
154 There is an OpenOCD forum (phpBB) hosted by SparkFun:

160 @chapter OpenOCD Developer Resources
161 @cindex developers
162
163 If you are interested in improving the state of OpenOCD's debugging and
164 testing support, new contributions will be welcome. Motivated developers
165 can produce new target, flash or interface drivers, improve the
166 documentation, as well as more conventional bug fixes and enhancements.
167
168 The resources in this chapter are available for developers wishing to explore
169 or expand the OpenOCD source code.
170
171 @section OpenOCD Subversion Repository
172
173 The ``Building From Source'' section provides instructions to retrieve
174 and and build the latest version of the OpenOCD source code.
175 @xref{Building OpenOCD}.
176
177 Developers that want to contribute patches to the OpenOCD system are
178 @b{strongly} encouraged to base their work off of the most recent trunk
179 revision. Patches created against older versions may require additional
180 work from their submitter in order to be updated for newer releases.
181
182 @section Doxygen Developer Manual
183
184 During the development of the 0.2.0 release, the OpenOCD project began
185 providing a Doxygen reference manual. This document contains more
186 technical information about the software internals, development
187 processes, and similar documentation:
188
189 @uref{http://openocd.berlios.de/doc/doxygen/index.html}
190
191 This document is a work-in-progress, but contributions would be welcome
192 to fill in the gaps. All of the source files are provided in-tree,
193 listed in the Doxyfile configuration in the top of the repository trunk.
194
195 @section OpenOCD Developer Mailing List
196
197 The OpenOCD Developer Mailing List provides the primary means of
198 communication between developers:
199
200 @uref{https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development}
201
202 All drivers developers are enouraged to also subscribe to the list of
203 SVN commits to keep pace with the ongoing changes:

212 @section Pre-Built Tools
213 If you are interested in getting actual work done rather than building
214 OpenOCD, then check if your interface supplier provides binaries for
215 you. Chances are that that binary is from some SVN version that is more
216 stable than SVN trunk where bleeding edge development takes place.
217
218 @section Packagers Please Read!
219
220 You are a @b{PACKAGER} of OpenOCD if you
221
222 @enumerate
223 @item @b{Sell dongles} and include pre-built binaries
224 @item @b{Supply tools} i.e.: A complete development solution
225 @item @b{Supply IDEs} like Eclipse, or RHIDE, etc.
226 @item @b{Build packages} i.e.: RPM files, or DEB files for a Linux Distro
227 @end enumerate
228
229 As a @b{PACKAGER}, you will experience first reports of most issues.
230 When you fix those problems for your users, your solution may help
231 prevent hundreds (if not thousands) of other questions from other users.
232
233 If something does not work for you, please work to inform the OpenOCD
234 developers know how to improve the system or documentation to avoid
235 future problems, and follow-up to help us ensure the issue will be fully
236 resolved in our future releases.
237
238 That said, the OpenOCD developers would also like you to follow a few
239 suggestions:
240
241 @enumerate
242 @item @b{Always build with printer ports enabled.}
243 @item @b{Try to use LIBFTDI + LIBUSB where possible. You cover more bases.}
244 @end enumerate
245
246 @itemize @bullet
247 @item @b{Why YES to LIBFTDI + LIBUSB?}
248 @itemize @bullet
249 @item @b{LESS} work - libusb perhaps already there
250 @item @b{LESS} work - identical code, multiple platforms
251 @item @b{MORE} dongles are supported
252 @item @b{MORE} platforms are supported
253 @item @b{MORE} complete solution
254 @end itemize
255 @item @b{Why not LIBFTDI + LIBUSB} (i.e.: ftd2xx instead)?
256 @itemize @bullet
257 @item @b{LESS} speed - some say it is slower
258 @item @b{LESS} complex to distribute (external dependencies)
259 @end itemize
260 @end itemize
261
262 @section Building From Source
263
264 You can download the current SVN version with an SVN client of your choice from the
265 following repositories:
266
267 @uref{svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk}
268
269 or
270
271 @uref{http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/openocd/trunk}
272
273 Using the SVN command line client, you can use the following command to fetch the
274 latest version (make sure there is no (non-svn) directory called "openocd" in the
275 current directory):
276
277 @example
278 svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk openocd
279 @end example
280
281 If you prefer GIT based tools, the @command{git-svn} package works too:
282
283 @example
284 git svn clone -s svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd
285 @end example
286
287 Building OpenOCD from a repository requires a recent version of the
288 GNU autotools (autoconf >= 2.59 and automake >= 1.9).
289 For building on Windows,
290 you have to use Cygwin. Make sure that your @env{PATH} environment variable contains no
291 other locations with Unix utils (like UnxUtils) - these can't handle the Cygwin
292 paths, resulting in obscure dependency errors (This is an observation I've gathered
293 from the logs of one user - correct me if I'm wrong).
294
295 You further need the appropriate driver files, if you want to build support for
296 a FTDI FT2232 based interface:
297
298 @itemize @bullet
299 @item @b{ftdi2232} libftdi (@uref{http://www.intra2net.com/opensource/ftdi/})
300 @item @b{ftd2xx} libftd2xx (@uref{http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm})
301 @item When using the Amontec JTAGkey, you have to get the drivers from the Amontec
302 homepage (@uref{http://www.amontec.com}). The JTAGkey uses a non-standard VID/PID.
303 @end itemize
304
305 libftdi is supported under Windows. Do not use versions earlier than 0.14.
306
307 In general, the D2XX driver provides superior performance (several times as fast),
308 but has the draw-back of being binary-only - though that isn't that bad, as it isn't
309 a kernel module, only a user space library.
310
311 To build OpenOCD (on both Linux and Cygwin), use the following commands:
312
313 @example
314 ./bootstrap
315 @end example
316
317 Bootstrap generates the configure script, and prepares building on your system.
318
319 @example
320 ./configure [options, see below]
321 @end example
322
323 Configure generates the Makefiles used to build OpenOCD.
324
325 @example
326 make
327 make install
328 @end example
329
330 Make builds OpenOCD, and places the final executable in ./src/, the last step, ``make install'' is optional.
331
332 The configure script takes several options, specifying which JTAG interfaces
333 should be included (among other things):
334
335 @itemize @bullet
336 @item
337 @option{--enable-parport} - Enable building the PC parallel port driver.
338 @item
339 @option{--enable-parport_ppdev} - Enable use of ppdev (/dev/parportN) for parport.
340 @item
341 @option{--enable-parport_giveio} - Enable use of giveio for parport instead of ioperm.
342 @item
343 @option{--enable-amtjtagaccel} - Enable building the Amontec JTAG-Accelerator driver.
344 @item
345 @option{--enable-ecosboard} - Enable building support for eCosBoard based JTAG debugger.
346 @item
347 @option{--enable-ioutil} - Enable ioutil functions - useful for standalone OpenOCD implementations.
348 @item
349 @option{--enable-httpd} - Enable builtin httpd server - useful for standalone OpenOCD implementations.
350 @item
351 @option{--enable-ep93xx} - Enable building support for EP93xx based SBCs.
352 @item
353 @option{--enable-at91rm9200} - Enable building support for AT91RM9200 based SBCs.
354 @item
355 @option{--enable-gw16012} - Enable building support for the Gateworks GW16012 JTAG programmer.
356 @item
357 @option{--enable-ft2232_ftd2xx} - Numerous USB type ARM JTAG dongles use the FT2232C chip from this FTDICHIP.COM chip (closed source).
358 @item
359 @option{--enable-ft2232_libftdi} - An open source (free) alternative to FTDICHIP.COM ftd2xx solution (Linux, MacOS, Cygwin).
360 @item
361 @option{--with-ftd2xx-win32-zipdir=PATH} - If using FTDICHIP.COM ft2232c driver,
362 give the directory where the Win32 FTDICHIP.COM 'CDM' driver zip file was unpacked.
363 @item
364 @option{--with-ftd2xx-linux-tardir=PATH} - If using FTDICHIP.COM ft2232c driver
365 on Linux, give the directory where the Linux driver's TAR.GZ file was unpacked.
366 @item
367 @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}. The 'shared' value 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.
368 @item
369 @option{--enable-presto_libftdi} - Enable building support for ASIX Presto programmer using the libftdi driver.
370 @item
371 @option{--enable-presto_ftd2xx} - Enable building support for ASIX Presto programmer using the FTD2XX driver.
372 @item
373 @option{--enable-usbprog} - Enable building support for the USBprog JTAG programmer.
374 @item
375 @option{--enable-oocd_trace} - Enable building support for the OpenOCD+trace ETM capture device.
376 @item
377 @option{--enable-jlink} - Enable building support for the Segger J-Link JTAG programmer.
378 @item
379 @option{--enable-vsllink} - Enable building support for the Versaloon-Link JTAG programmer.
380 @item
381 @option{--enable-rlink} - Enable building support for the Raisonance RLink JTAG programmer.
382 @item
383 @option{--enable-arm-jtag-ew} - Enable building support for the Olimex ARM-JTAG-EW programmer.
384 @item
385 @option{--enable-dummy} - Enable building the dummy port driver.
386 @end itemize
387
388 @section Parallel Port Dongles
389
390 If you want to access the parallel port using the PPDEV interface you have to specify
391 both the @option{--enable-parport} AND the @option{--enable-parport_ppdev} option since
392 the @option{--enable-parport_ppdev} option actually is an option to the parport driver
393 (see @uref{http://forum.sparkfun.com/viewtopic.php?t=3795} for more info).
394
395 The same is true for the @option{--enable-parport_giveio} option, you have to
396 use both the @option{--enable-parport} AND the @option{--enable-parport_giveio} option if you want to use giveio instead of ioperm parallel port access method.
397
398 @section FT2232C Based USB Dongles
399
400 There are 2 methods of using the FTD2232, either (1) using the
401 FTDICHIP.COM closed source driver, or (2) the open (and free) driver
402 libftdi. Some claim the (closed) FTDICHIP.COM solution is faster.
403
404 The FTDICHIP drivers come as either a (win32) ZIP file, or a (Linux)
405 TAR.GZ file. You must unpack them ``some where'' convient. As of this
406 writing (12/26/2008) FTDICHIP does not supply means to install these
407 files ``in an appropriate place'' As a result, there are two
408 ``./configure'' options that help.
409
410 Below is an example build process:
411
412 @enumerate
413 @item Check out the latest version of ``openocd'' from SVN.
414
415 @item If you are using the FTDICHIP.COM driver, download
416 and unpack the Windows or Linux FTD2xx drivers
417 (@uref{http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm}).
418 If you are using the libftdi driver, install that package
419 (e.g. @command{apt-get install libftdi} on systems with APT).
420
421 @example
422 /home/duane/ftd2xx.win32 => the Cygwin/Win32 ZIP file contents
423 /home/duane/libftd2xx0.4.16 => the Linux TAR.GZ file contents
424 @end example
425
426 @item Configure with options resembling the following.
427
428 @enumerate a
429 @item Cygwin FTDICHIP solution:
430 @example
431 ./configure --prefix=/home/duane/mytools \
432 --enable-ft2232_ftd2xx \
433 --with-ftd2xx-win32-zipdir=/home/duane/ftd2xx.win32
434 @end example
435
436 @item Linux FTDICHIP solution:
437 @example
438 ./configure --prefix=/home/duane/mytools \
439 --enable-ft2232_ftd2xx \
440 --with-ft2xx-linux-tardir=/home/duane/libftd2xx0.4.16
441 @end example
442
443 @item Cygwin/Linux LIBFTDI solution ... assuming that
444 @itemize
445 @item For Windows -- that the Windows port of LIBUSB is in place.
446 @item For Linux -- that libusb has been built/installed and is in place.
447 @item That libftdi has been built and installed (relies on libusb).
448 @end itemize
449
450 Then configure the libftdi solution like this:
451
452 @example
453 ./configure --prefix=/home/duane/mytools \
454 --enable-ft2232_libftdi
455 @end example
456 @end enumerate
457
458 @item Then just type ``make'', and perhaps ``make install''.
459 @end enumerate
460
461
462 @section Miscellaneous Configure Options
463
464 @itemize @bullet
465 @item
466 @option{--disable-option-checking} - Ignore unrecognized @option{--enable} and @option{--with} options.
467 @item
468 @option{--enable-gccwarnings} - Enable extra gcc warnings during build.
469 Default is enabled.
470 @item
471 @option{--enable-release} - Enable building of an OpenOCD release, generally
472 this is for developers. It simply omits the svn version string when the
473 openocd @option{-v} is executed.

518
519 There are many USB JTAG dongles on the market, many of them are based
520 on a chip from ``Future Technology Devices International'' (FTDI)
521 known as the FTDI FT2232; this is a USB full speed (12 Mbps) chip.
522 See: @url{http://www.ftdichip.com} for more information.
523 In summer 2009, USB high speed (480 Mbps) versions of these FTDI
524 chips are starting to become available in JTAG adapters.

680 @end verbatim
681
682 By default OpenOCD reads the file configuration file ``openocd.cfg''
683 in the current directory. To specify a different (or multiple)
684 configuration file, you can use the ``-f'' option. For example:
685
686 @example
687 openocd -f config1.cfg -f config2.cfg -f config3.cfg
688 @end example
689
690 Once started, OpenOCD runs as a daemon, waiting for connections from
691 clients (Telnet, GDB, Other).
692
693 If you are having problems, you can enable internal debug messages via
694 the ``-d'' option.
695
696 Also it is possible to interleave commands w/config scripts using the
697 @option{-c} command line switch.
698
699 To enable debug output (when reporting problems or working on OpenOCD
700 itself), use the @option{-d} command line switch. This sets the
701 @option{debug_level} to "3", outputting the most information,
702 including debug messages. The default setting is "2", outputting only
703 informational messages, warnings and errors. You can also change this
704 setting from within a telnet or gdb session using @option{debug_level
705 <n>} @xref{debug_level}.
706
707 You can redirect all output from the daemon to a file using the
708 @option{-l <logfile>} switch.
709
710 Search paths for config/script files can be added to OpenOCD by using
711 the @option{-s <search>} switch. The current directory and the OpenOCD
712 target library is in the search path by default.
713
714 For details on the @option{-p} option. @xref{Connecting to GDB}.
715
716 Note! OpenOCD will launch the GDB & telnet server even if it can not
717 establish a connection with the target. In general, it is possible for
718 the JTAG controller to be unresponsive until the target is set up
719 correctly via e.g. GDB monitor commands in a GDB init script.

721 @node Simple Configuration Files
722 @chapter Simple Configuration Files
723 @cindex configuration
724
725 @section Outline
726 There are 4 basic ways of ``configurating'' OpenOCD to run, they are:
727
728 @enumerate
729 @item A small openocd.cfg file which ``sources'' other configuration files
730 @item A monolithic openocd.cfg file
731 @item Many -f filename options on the command line
732 @item Your Mixed Solution
733 @end enumerate
734
735 @section Small configuration file method
736
737 This is the preferred method. It is simple and works well for many
738 people. The developers of OpenOCD would encourage you to use this
739 method. If you create a new configuration please email new
740 configurations to the development list.
741
742 Here is an example of an openocd.cfg file for an ATMEL at91sam7x256
743
744 @example
745 source [find interface/signalyzer.cfg]
746
747 # GDB can also flash my flash!
748 gdb_memory_map enable
749 gdb_flash_program enable
750
751 source [find target/sam7x256.cfg]
752 @end example
753
754 There are many example configuration scripts you can work with. You
755 should look in the directory: @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/lib/openocd}. You
756 should find:
757
758 @enumerate
759 @item @b{board} - eval board level configurations
760 @item @b{interface} - specific dongle configurations
761 @item @b{target} - the target chips
762 @item @b{tcl} - helper scripts
763 @item @b{xscale} - things specific to the xscale.
764 @end enumerate
765
766 Look first in the ``boards'' area, then the ``targets'' area. Often a board
767 configuration is a good example to work from.
768
769 @section Many -f filename options
770 Some believe this is a wonderful solution, others find it painful.
771
772 You can use a series of ``-f filename'' options on the command line,
773 OpenOCD will read each filename in sequence, for example:
774
775 @example
776 openocd -f file1.cfg -f file2.cfg -f file2.cfg
777 @end example
778
779 You can also intermix various commands with the ``-c'' command line
780 option.
781
782 @section Monolithic file
783 The ``Monolithic File'' dispenses with all ``source'' statements and
784 puts everything in one self contained (monolithic) file. This is not
785 encouraged.
786
787 Please try to ``source'' various files or use the multiple -f
788 technique.
789
790 @section Advice for you
791 Often, one uses a ``mixed approach''. Where possible, please try to
792 ``source'' common things, and if needed cut/paste parts of the
793 standard distribution configuration files as needed.
794
795 @b{REMEMBER:} The ``important parts'' of your configuration file are:
796
797 @enumerate
798 @item @b{Interface} - Defines the dongle
799 @item @b{Taps} - Defines the JTAG Taps
800 @item @b{GDB Targets} - What GDB talks to
801 @item @b{Flash Programing} - Very Helpful
802 @end enumerate
803
804 Some key things you should look at and understand are:
805
806 @enumerate
807 @item The reset configuration of your debug environment as a whole
808 @item Is there a ``work area'' that OpenOCD can use?
809 @* For ARM - work areas mean up to 10x faster downloads.
810 @item For MMU/MPU based ARM chips (i.e.: ARM9 and later) will that work area still be available?
811 @item For complex targets (multiple chips) the JTAG SPEED becomes an issue.
812 @end enumerate
813
814
815
816 @node Config File Guidelines
817 @chapter Config File Guidelines
818
819 This section/chapter is aimed at developers and integrators of
820 OpenOCD. These are guidelines for creating new boards and new target
821 configurations as of 28/Nov/2008.
822
823 However, you, the user of OpenOCD, should be somewhat familiar with
824 this section as it should help explain some of the internals of what
825 you might be looking at.
826
827 The user should find the following directories under @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/lib/openocd} :
828
829 @itemize @bullet
830 @item @b{interface}
831 @*Think JTAG Dongle. Files that configure the JTAG dongle go here.
832 @item @b{board}
833 @* Think Circuit Board, PWA, PCB, they go by many names. Board files
834 contain initialization items that are specific to a board - for
835 example: The SDRAM initialization sequence for the board, or the type
836 of external flash and what address it is found at. Any initialization
837 sequence to enable that external flash or SDRAM should be found in the
838 board file. Boards may also contain multiple targets, i.e.: Two CPUs, or
839 a CPU and an FPGA or CPLD.
840 @item @b{target}
841 @* Think chip. The ``target'' directory represents the JTAG TAPs
842 on a chip
843 which OpenOCD should control, not a board. Two common types of targets
844 are ARM chips and FPGA or CPLD chips.
845 When a chip has multiple TAPs (maybe it has both ARM and DSP cores),
846 the target config file defines all of them.
847 @end itemize
848
849 @b{If needed...} The user in their ``openocd.cfg'' file or the board
850 file might override a specific feature in any of the above files by
851 setting a variable or two before sourcing the target file. Or adding
852 various commands specific to their situation.
853
854 @section Interface Config Files
855
856 The user should be able to source one of these files via a command like this:
857
858 @example
859 source [find interface/FOOBAR.cfg]
860 Or:
861 openocd -f interface/FOOBAR.cfg
862 @end example
863
864 A preconfigured interface file should exist for every interface in use
865 today, that said, perhaps some interfaces have only been used by the
866 sole developer who created it.
867
868 Interface files should be found in @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/lib/openocd/interface}
869
870 @section Board Config Files
871
872 @b{Note: BOARD directory NEW as of 28/nov/2008}
873
874 The user should be able to source one of these files via a command like this:
875
876 @example
877 source [find board/FOOBAR.cfg]
878 Or:
879 openocd -f board/FOOBAR.cfg
880 @end example
881
882
883 The board file should contain one or more @t{source [find
884 target/FOO.cfg]} statements along with any board specific things.
885
886 In summary the board files should contain (if present)
887
888 @enumerate
889 @item External flash configuration (i.e.: NOR flash on CS0, two NANDs on CS2)
890 @item SDRAM configuration (size, speed, etc.
891 @item Board specific IO configuration (i.e.: GPIO pins might disable a 2nd flash)
892 @item Multiple TARGET source statements
893 @item Reset configuration
894 @item All things that are not ``inside a chip''
895 @item Things inside a chip go in a 'target' file
896 @end enumerate
897
898 @section Target Config Files
899
900 The user should be able to source one of these files via a command like this:
901
902 @example
903 source [find target/FOOBAR.cfg]
904 Or:
905 openocd -f target/FOOBAR.cfg
906 @end example
907
908 In summary the target files should contain
909
910 @enumerate
911 @item Set defaults
912 @item Add TAPs to the scan chain
913 @item Add CPU targets
914 @item CPU/Chip/CPU-Core specific features
915 @item On-Chip flash
916 @end enumerate
917
918 @subsection Important variable names
919
920 By default, the end user should never need to set these
921 variables. However, if the user needs to override a setting they only
922 need to set the variable in a simple way.
923
924 @itemize @bullet
925 @item @b{CHIPNAME}
926 @* This gives a name to the overall chip, and is used as part of the
927 tap identifier dotted name.
928 @item @b{ENDIAN}
929 @* By default little - unless the chip or board is not normally used that way.
930 @item @b{CPUTAPID}
931 @* When OpenOCD examines the JTAG chain, it will attempt to identify
932 every chip. If the @t{-expected-id} is nonzero, OpenOCD attempts
933 to verify the tap id number verses configuration file and may issue an
934 error or warning like this. The hope is that this will help to pinpoint
935 problems in OpenOCD configurations.
936
937 @example
938 Info: JTAG tap: sam7x256.cpu tap/device found: 0x3f0f0f0f
939 (Manufacturer: 0x787, Part: 0xf0f0, Version: 0x3)
940 Error: ERROR: Tap: sam7x256.cpu - Expected id: 0x12345678,
941 Got: 0x3f0f0f0f
942 Error: ERROR: expected: mfg: 0x33c, part: 0x2345, ver: 0x1
943 Error: ERROR: got: mfg: 0x787, part: 0xf0f0, ver: 0x3
944 @end example
945
946 @item @b{_TARGETNAME}
947 @* By convention, this variable is created by the target configuration
948 script. The board configuration file may make use of this variable to
949 configure things like a ``reset init'' script, or other things
950 specific to that board and that target.
951
952 If the chip has 2 targets, use the names @b{_TARGETNAME0},
953 @b{_TARGETNAME1}, ... etc.
954
955 @b{Remember:} The ``board file'' may include multiple targets.
956
957 At no time should the name ``target0'' (the default target name if
958 none was specified) be used. The name ``target0'' is a hard coded name
959 - the next target on the board will be some other number.
960 In the same way, avoid using target numbers even when they are
961 permitted; use the right target name(s) for your board.
962
963 The user (or board file) should reasonably be able to:
964
965 @example
966 source [find target/FOO.cfg]
967 $_TARGETNAME configure ... FOO specific parameters
968
969 source [find target/BAR.cfg]
970 $_TARGETNAME configure ... BAR specific parameters
971 @end example
972
973 @end itemize
974
975 @subsection Tcl Variables Guide Line
976 The Full Tcl/Tk language supports ``namespaces'' - JIM-Tcl does not.
977
978 Thus the rule we follow in OpenOCD is this: Variables that begin with
979 a leading underscore are temporary in nature, and can be modified and
980 used at will within a ?TARGET? configuration file.
981
982 @b{EXAMPLE:} The user should be able to do this:
983
984 @example
985 # Board has 3 chips,
986 # PXA270 #1 network side, big endian
987 # PXA270 #2 video side, little endian
988 # Xilinx Glue logic
989 set CHIPNAME network
990 set ENDIAN big
991 source [find target/pxa270.cfg]
992 # variable: _TARGETNAME = network.cpu
993 # other commands can refer to the "network.cpu" tap.
994 $_TARGETNAME configure .... params for this CPU..
995
996 set ENDIAN little
997 set CHIPNAME video
998 source [find target/pxa270.cfg]
999 # variable: _TARGETNAME = video.cpu
1000 # other commands can refer to the "video.cpu" tap.
1001 $_TARGETNAME configure .... params for this CPU..
1002
1003 unset ENDIAN
1004 set CHIPNAME xilinx
1005 source [find target/spartan3.cfg]
1006
1007 # Since $_TARGETNAME is temporal..
1008 # these names still work!
1009 network.cpu configure ... params
1010 video.cpu configure ... params
1011 @end example
1012
1013 @subsection Default Value Boiler Plate Code
1014
1015 All target configuration files should start with this (or a modified form)
1016
1017 @example
1018 # SIMPLE example
1019 if @{ [info exists CHIPNAME] @} @{
1020 set _CHIPNAME $CHIPNAME
1021 @} else @{
1022 set _CHIPNAME sam7x256
1023 @}
1024
1025 if @{ [info exists ENDIAN] @} @{
1026 set _ENDIAN $ENDIAN
1027 @} else @{
1028 set _ENDIAN little
1029 @}
1030
1031 if @{ [info exists CPUTAPID ] @} @{
1032 set _CPUTAPID $CPUTAPID
1033 @} else @{
1034 set _CPUTAPID 0x3f0f0f0f
1035 @}
1036 @end example
1037
1038 @subsection Adding TAPs to the Scan Chain
1039 After the ``defaults'' are set up,
1040 add the TAPs on each chip to the JTAG scan chain.
1041 @xref{TAP Declaration}, and the naming convention
1042 for taps.
1043
1044 In the simplest case the chip has only one TAP,
1045 probably for a CPU or FPGA.
1046 The config file for the Atmel AT91SAM7X256
1047 looks (in part) like this:
1048
1049 @example
1050 jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME cpu -irlen 4 -ircapture 0x1 -irmask 0xf \
1051 -expected-id $_CPUTAPID
1052 @end example
1053
1054 A board with two such at91sam7 chips would be able
1055 to source such a config file twice, with different
1056 values for @code{CHIPNAME}, so
1057 it adds a different TAP each time.
1058
1059 There are more complex examples too, with chips that have
1060 multiple TAPs. Ones worth looking at include:
1061
1062 @itemize
1063 @item @file{target/omap3530.cfg} -- with a disabled ARM, and a JRC
1064 (there's a DSP too, which is not listed)
1065 @item @file{target/str912.cfg} -- with flash, CPU, and boundary scan
1066 @item @file{target/ti_dm355.cfg} -- with ETM, ARM, and JRC (this JRC
1067 is not currently used)

1070 @subsection Add CPU targets
1071
1072 After adding a TAP for a CPU, you should set it up so that
1073 GDB and other commands can use it.
1074 @xref{CPU Configuration}.
1075 For the at91sam7 example above, the command can look like this:
1076
1077 @example
1078 set _TARGETNAME $_CHIPNAME.cpu
1079 target create $_TARGETNAME arm7tdmi -chain-position $_TARGETNAME
1080 @end example
1081
1082 Work areas are small RAM areas associated with CPU targets.
1083 They are used by OpenOCD to speed up downloads,
1084 and to download small snippets of code to program flash chips.
1085 If the chip includes a form of ``on-chip-ram'' - and many do - define
1086 a work area if you can.
1087 Again using the at91sam7 as an example, this can look like:
1088
1089 @example
1090 $_TARGETNAME configure -work-area-phys 0x00200000 \
1091 -work-area-size 0x4000 -work-area-backup 0
1092 @end example
1093
1094 @subsection Chip Reset Setup
1095
1096 As a rule, you should put the @command{reset_config} command
1097 into the board file. Most things you think you know about a
1098 chip can be tweaked by the board.
1099
1100 Some chips have specific ways the TRST and SRST signals are
1101 managed. In the unusual case that these are @emph{chip specific}
1102 and can never be changed by board wiring, they could go here.
1103
1104 Some chips need special attention during reset handling if
1105 they're going to be used with JTAG.
1106 An example might be needing to send some commands right
1107 after the target's TAP has been reset, providing a
1108 @code{reset-deassert-post} event handler that writes a chip
1109 register to report that JTAG debugging is being done.
1110
1111 @subsection ARM Core Specific Hacks
1112
1113 If the chip has a DCC, enable it. If the chip is an ARM9 with some
1114 special high speed download features - enable it.
1115
1116 If the chip supports the @command{arm9tdmi vector_catch},
1117 @command{xscale vector_catch}, or similar features,
1118 consider enabling it in your user-specific configuration file.
1119 Experience has shown the ``vector_catch'' can be
1120 helpful for catching programming errors
1121 like Undefined Instructions, Data Abort, and Prefetch Abort.
1122
1123 If present, the MMU, the MPU and the CACHE should be disabled.
1124
1125 Some ARM cores are equipped with trace support, which permits
1126 examination of the instruction and data bus activity. Trace
1127 activity is controlled through an ``Embedded Trace Module'' (ETM)
1128 on one of the core's scan chains. The ETM emits voluminous data
1129 through a ``trace port''. (@xref{ARM Tracing}.)
1130 If you are using an external trace port,
1131 configure it in your board config file.
1132 If you are using an on-chip ``Embedded Trace Buffer'' (ETB),
1133 configure it in your target config file.
1134
1135 @example
1136 etm config $_TARGETNAME 16 normal full etb
1137 etb config $_TARGETNAME $_CHIPNAME.etb
1138 @end example
1139
1140 @subsection Internal Flash Configuration
1141
1142 This applies @b{ONLY TO MICROCONTROLLERS} that have flash built in.
1143
1144 @b{Never ever} in the ``target configuration file'' define any type of
1145 flash that is external to the chip. (For example a BOOT flash on
1146 Chip Select 0.) Such flash information goes in a board file - not
1147 the TARGET (chip) file.
1148
1149 Examples:
1150 @itemize @bullet
1151 @item at91sam7x256 - has 256K flash YES enable it.
1152 @item str912 - has flash internal YES enable it.
1153 @item imx27 - uses boot flash on CS0 - it goes in the board file.
1154 @item pxa270 - again - CS0 flash - it goes in the board file.

1167 @* JIM-TCL is a stripped down version of the well known Tcl language,
1168 which can be found here: @url{http://www.tcl.tk}. JIM-Tcl has far
1169 fewer features. JIM-Tcl is a single .C file and a single .H file and
1170 impliments the basic Tcl command set along. In contrast: Tcl 8.6 is a
1171 4.2 MB .zip file containing 1540 files.
1172
1173 @item @b{Missing Features}

1196 The commands here are commonly found in the openocd.cfg file and are
1197 used to specify what TCP/IP ports are used, and how GDB should be
1198 supported.
1199
1200 @section Configuration Stage
1201 @cindex configuration stage
1202 @cindex configuration command
1203
1204 When the OpenOCD server process starts up, it enters a
1205 @emph{configuration stage} which is the only time that
1206 certain commands, @emph{configuration commands}, may be issued.
1207 Those configuration commands include declaration of TAPs
1208 and other basic setup.
1209 The server must leave the configuration stage before it
1210 may access or activate TAPs.
1211 After it leaves this stage, configuration commands may no
1212 longer be issued.
1213
1214 @deffn {Config Command} init
1215 This command terminates the configuration stage and
1216 enters the normal command mode. This can be useful to add commands to
1217 the startup scripts and commands such as resetting the target,
1218 programming flash, etc. To reset the CPU upon startup, add "init" and
1219 "reset" at the end of the config script or at the end of the OpenOCD
1220 command line using the @option{-c} command line switch.
1221
1222 If this command does not appear in any startup/configuration file
1223 OpenOCD executes the command for you after processing all
1224 configuration files and/or command line options.
1225
1226 @b{NOTE:} This command normally occurs at or near the end of your
1227 openocd.cfg file to force OpenOCD to ``initialize'' and make the
1228 targets ready. For example: If your openocd.cfg file needs to
1229 read/write memory on your target, @command{init} must occur before
1230 the memory read/write commands. This includes @command{nand probe}.
1231 @end deffn

1236 @cindex port
1237 The OpenOCD server accepts remote commands in several syntaxes.
1238 Each syntax uses a different TCP/IP port, which you may specify
1239 only during configuration (before those ports are opened).
1240
1241 @deffn {Command} gdb_port (number)
1242 @cindex GDB server
1243 Specify or query the first port used for incoming GDB connections.
1244 The GDB port for the
1245 first target will be gdb_port, the second target will listen on gdb_port + 1, and so on.
1246 When not specified during the configuration stage,
1247 the port @var{number} defaults to 3333.
1248 @end deffn

1254 Intended as a machine interface.
1255 When not specified during the configuration stage,
1256 the port @var{number} defaults to 6666.
1257 @end deffn
1258
1259 @deffn {Command} telnet_port (number)
1260 Specify or query the
1261 port on which to listen for incoming telnet connections.

1278 Force breakpoint type for gdb @command{break} commands.
1279 This option supports GDB GUIs which don't
1280 distinguish hard versus soft breakpoints, if the default OpenOCD and
1281 GDB behaviour is not sufficient. GDB normally uses hardware
1282 breakpoints if the memory map has been set up for flash regions.

1313 @anchor{Event Polling}
1314 @section Event Polling
1315
1316 Hardware debuggers are parts of asynchronous systems,
1317 where significant events can happen at any time.
1318 The OpenOCD server needs to detect some of these events,
1319 so it can report them to through TCL command line
1320 or to GDB.
1321
1322 Examples of such events include:
1323
1324 @itemize
1325 @item One of the targets can stop running ... maybe it triggers
1326 a code breakpoint or data watchpoint, or halts itself.
1327 @item Messages may be sent over ``debug message'' channels ... many
1328 targets support such messages sent over JTAG,
1329 for receipt by the person debugging or tools.
1330 @item Loss of power ... some adapters can detect these events.
1331 @item Resets not issued through JTAG ... such reset sources
1332 can include button presses or other system hardware, sometimes
1333 including the target itself (perhaps through a watchdog).
1334 @item Debug instrumentation sometimes supports event triggering
1335 such as ``trace buffer full'' (so it can quickly be emptied)
1336 or other signals (to correlate with code behavior).
1337 @end itemize
1338
1339 None of those events are signaled through standard JTAG signals.
1340 However, most conventions for JTAG connectors include voltage
1341 level and system reset (SRST) signal detection.
1342 Some connectors also include instrumentation signals, which
1343 can imply events when those signals are inputs.
1344
1345 In general, OpenOCD needs to periodically check for those events,
1346 either by looking at the status of signals on the JTAG connector
1347 or by sending synchronous ``tell me your status'' JTAG requests
1348 to the various active targets.
1349 There is a command to manage and monitor that polling,
1350 which is normally done in the background.
1351
1352 @deffn Command poll [@option{on}|@option{off}]
1353 Poll the current target for its current state.
1354 (Also, @pxref{target curstate}.)
1355 If that target is in debug mode, architecture
1356 specific information about the current state is printed.
1357 An optional parameter
1358 allows background polling to be enabled and disabled.
1359
1360 You could use this from the TCL command shell, or
1361 from GDB using @command{monitor poll} command.
1362 @example
1363 > poll
1364 background polling: on
1365 target state: halted
1366 target halted in ARM state due to debug-request, \
1367 current mode: Supervisor

1374 @node Interface - Dongle Configuration
1375 @chapter Interface - Dongle Configuration
1376 JTAG Adapters/Interfaces/Dongles are normally configured
1377 through commands in an interface configuration
1378 file which is sourced by your @file{openocd.cfg} file, or
1379 through a command line @option{-f interface/....cfg} option.
1380
1381 @example
1382 source [find interface/olimex-jtag-tiny.cfg]
1383 @end example
1384
1385 These commands tell
1386 OpenOCD what type of JTAG adapter you have, and how to talk to it.
1387 A few cases are so simple that you only need to say what driver to use:
1388
1389 @example
1390 # jlink interface
1391 interface jlink
1392 @end example
1393
1394 Most adapters need a bit more configuration than that.

1521 USB communication delays and has proved hard to reproduce and debug. Setting the
1522 FT2232 latency timer to a larger value increases delays for short USB packets but it
1523 also reduces the risk of timeouts before receiving the expected number of bytes.

1653 @anchor{JTAG Speed}
1654 @section JTAG Speed
1655 JTAG clock setup is part of system setup.
1656 It @emph{does not belong with interface setup} since any interface
1657 only knows a few of the constraints for the JTAG clock speed.
1658 Sometimes the JTAG speed is
1659 changed during the target initialization process: (1) slow at
1660 reset, (2) program the CPU clocks, (3) run fast.
1661 Both the "slow" and "fast" clock rates are functions of the
1662 oscillators used, the chip, the board design, and sometimes
1663 power management software that may be active.
1664
1665 The speed used during reset can be adjusted using pre_reset
1666 and post_reset event handlers.
1667 @xref{Target Events}.
1668
1669 If your system supports adaptive clocking (RTCK), configuring
1670 JTAG to use that is probably the most robust approach.
1671 However, it introduces delays to synchronize clocks; so it
1672 may not be the fastest solution.
1673
1674 @b{NOTE:} Script writers should consider using @command{jtag_rclk}
1675 instead of @command{jtag_khz}.
1676
1677 @deffn {Command} jtag_khz max_speed_kHz
1678 A non-zero speed is in KHZ. Hence: 3000 is 3mhz.
1679 JTAG interfaces usually support a limited number of
1680 speeds. The speed actually used won't be faster
1681 than the speed specified.
1682
1683 As a rule of thumb, if you specify a clock rate make
1684 sure the JTAG clock is no more than @math{1/6th CPU-Clock}.
1685 This is especially true for synthesized cores (ARMxxx-S).
1686
1687 Speed 0 (khz) selects RTCK method.
1688 @xref{FAQ RTCK}.
1689 If your system uses RTCK, you won't need to change the
1690 JTAG clocking after setup.
1691 Not all interfaces, boards, or targets support ``rtck''.
1692 If the interface device can not
1693 support it, an error is returned when you try to use RTCK.

1708 @chapter Reset Configuration
1709 @cindex Reset Configuration
1710
1711 Every system configuration may require a different reset
1712 configuration. This can also be quite confusing.
1713 Resets also interact with @var{reset-init} event handlers,
1714 which do things like setting up clocks and DRAM, and
1715 JTAG clock rates. (@xref{JTAG Speed}.)
1716 Please see the various board files for examples.
1717
1718 @quotation Note
1719 To maintainers and integrators:
1720 Reset configuration touches several things at once.
1721 Normally the board configuration file
1722 should define it and assume that the JTAG adapter supports
1723 everything that's wired up to the board's JTAG connector.
1724 However, the target configuration file could also make note
1725 of something the silicon vendor has done inside the chip,
1726 which will be true for most (or all) boards using that chip.
1727 And when the JTAG adapter doesn't support everything, the
1728 system configuration file will need to override parts of
1729 the reset configuration provided by other files.
1730 @end quotation
1731
1732 @section Types of Reset
1733
1734 There are many kinds of reset possible through JTAG, but
1735 they may not all work with a given board and adapter.
1736 That's part of why reset configuration can be error prone.
1737
1738 @itemize @bullet
1739 @item
1740 @emph{System Reset} ... the @emph{SRST} hardware signal
1741 resets all chips connected to the JTAG adapter, such as processors,
1742 power management chips, and I/O controllers. Normally resets triggered
1743 with this signal behave exactly like pressing a RESET button.
1744 @item
1745 @emph{JTAG TAP Reset} ... the @emph{TRST} hardware signal resets
1746 just the TAP controllers connected to the JTAG adapter.
1747 Such resets should not be visible to the rest of the system; resetting a
1748 device's the TAP controller just puts that controller into a known state.
1749 @item
1750 @emph{Emulation Reset} ... many devices can be reset through JTAG
1751 commands. These resets are often distinguishable from system
1752 resets, either explicitly (a "reset reason" register says so)
1753 or implicitly (not all parts of the chip get reset).
1754 @item
1755 @emph{Other Resets} ... system-on-chip devices often support
1756 several other types of reset.
1757 You may need to arrange that a watchdog timer stops

1759 There may be individual module resets.
1760 @end itemize
1761
1762 In the best case, OpenOCD can hold SRST, then reset
1763 the TAPs via TRST and send commands through JTAG to halt the
1764 CPU at the reset vector before the 1st instruction is executed.
1765 Then when it finally releases the SRST signal, the system is
1766 halted under debugger control before any code has executed.
1767 This is the behavior required to support the @command{reset halt}
1768 and @command{reset init} commands; after @command{reset init} a
1769 board-specific script might do things like setting up DRAM.
1770 (@xref{Reset Command}.)
1771
1772 @section SRST and TRST Issues
1773
1774 Because SRST and TRST are hardware signals, they can have a
1775 variety of system-specific constraints. Some of the most
1776 common issues are:
1777
1778 @itemize @bullet
1779
1780 @item @emph{Signal not available} ... Some boards don't wire
1781 SRST or TRST to the JTAG connector. Some JTAG adapters don't
1782 support such signals even if they are wired up.
1783 Use the @command{reset_config} @var{signals} options to say
1784 when one of those signals is not connected.
1785 When SRST is not available, your code might not be able to rely
1786 on controllers having been fully reset during code startup.
1787
1788 @item @emph{Signals shorted} ... Sometimes a chip, board, or
1789 adapter will connect SRST to TRST, instead of keeping them separate.
1790 Use the @command{reset_config} @var{combination} options to say
1791 when those signals aren't properly independent.
1792
1793 @item @emph{Timing} ... Reset circuitry like a resistor/capacitor
1794 delay circuit, reset supervisor, or on-chip features can extend
1795 the effect of a JTAG adapter's reset for some time after the adapter
1796 stops issuing the reset. For example, there may be chip or board
1797 requirements that all reset pulses last for at least a
1798 certain amount of time; and reset buttons commonly have
1799 hardware debouncing.
1800 Use the @command{jtag_nsrst_delay} and @command{jtag_ntrst_delay}
1801 commands to say when extra delays are needed.
1802
1803 @item @emph{Drive type} ... Reset lines often have a pullup
1804 resistor, letting the JTAG interface treat them as open-drain
1805 signals. But that's not a requirement, so the adapter may need
1806 to use push/pull output drivers.
1807 Also, with weak pullups it may be advisable to drive
1808 signals to both levels (push/pull) to minimize rise times.
1809 Use the @command{reset_config} @var{trst_type} and
1810 @var{srst_type} parameters to say how to drive reset signals.
1811
1812 @item @emph{Special initialization} ... Targets sometimes need
1813 special JTAG initialization sequences to handle chip-specific
1814 issues (not limited to errata).
1815 For example, certain JTAG commands might need to be issued while
1816 the system as a whole is in a reset state (SRST active)
1817 but the JTAG scan chain is usable (TRST inactive).
1818 (@xref{JTAG Commands}, where the @command{jtag_reset}
1819 command is presented.)
1820 @end itemize
1821
1822 There can also be other issues.
1823 Some devices don't fully conform to the JTAG specifications.
1824 Trivial system-specific differences are common, such as
1825 SRST and TRST using slightly different names.
1826 There are also vendors who distribute key JTAG documentation for
1827 their chips only to developers who have signed a Non-Disclosure
1828 Agreement (NDA).
1829
1830 Sometimes there are chip-specific extensions like a requirement to use
1831 the normally-optional TRST signal (precluding use of JTAG adapters which
1832 don't pass TRST through), or needing extra steps to complete a TAP reset.
1833
1834 In short, SRST and especially TRST handling may be very finicky,
1835 needing to cope with both architecture and board specific constraints.
1836
1837 @section Commands for Handling Resets
1838
1839 @deffn {Command} jtag_nsrst_delay milliseconds
1840 How long (in milliseconds) OpenOCD should wait after deasserting
1841 nSRST (active-low system reset) before starting new JTAG operations.
1842 When a board has a reset button connected to SRST line it will
1843 probably have hardware debouncing, implying you should use this.
1844 @end deffn
1845
1846 @deffn {Command} jtag_ntrst_delay milliseconds
1847 How long (in milliseconds) OpenOCD should wait after deasserting
1848 nTRST (active-low JTAG TAP reset) before starting new JTAG operations.
1849 @end deffn
1850
1851 @deffn {Command} reset_config mode_flag ...
1852 This command tells OpenOCD the reset configuration
1853 of your combination of JTAG board and target in target
1854 configuration scripts.
1855
1856 If you have an interface that does not support SRST and
1857 TRST(unlikely), then you may be able to work around that
1858 problem by using a reset_config command to override any
1859 settings in the target configuration script.
1860
1861 SRST and TRST has a fairly well understood definition and
1862 behaviour in the JTAG specification, but vendors take
1863 liberties to achieve various more or less clearly understood
1864 goals. Sometimes documentation is available, other times it
1865 is not. OpenOCD has the reset_config command to allow OpenOCD
1866 to deal with the various common cases.
1867
1868 The @var{mode_flag} options can be specified in any order, but only one
1869 of each type -- @var{signals}, @var{combination}, @var{trst_type},
1870 and @var{srst_type} -- may be specified at a time.
1871 If you don't provide a new value for a given type, its previous
1872 value (perhaps the default) is unchanged.
1873 For example, this means that you don't need to say anything at all about
1874 TRST just to declare that if the JTAG adapter should want to drive SRST,
1875 it must explicitly be driven high (@option{srst_push_pull}).
1876
1877 @var{signals} can specify which of the reset signals are connected.
1878 For example, If the JTAG interface provides SRST, but the board doesn't
1879 connect that signal properly, then OpenOCD can't use it.
1880 Possible values are @option{none} (the default), @option{trst_only},
1881 @option{srst_only} and @option{trst_and_srst}.
1882
1883 @quotation Tip
1884 If your board provides SRST or TRST through the JTAG connector,
1885 you must declare that or else those signals will not be used.
1886 @end quotation
1887
1888 The @var{combination} is an optional value specifying broken reset
1889 signal implementations.
1890 The default behaviour if no option given is @option{separate},
1891 indicating everything behaves normally.
1892 @option{srst_pulls_trst} states that the
1893 test logic is reset together with the reset of the system (e.g. Philips
1894 LPC2000, "broken" board layout), @option{trst_pulls_srst} says that
1895 the system is reset together with the test logic (only hypothetical, I
1896 haven't seen hardware with such a bug, and can be worked around).
1897 @option{combined} implies both @option{srst_pulls_trst} and
1898 @option{trst_pulls_srst}.
1899
1900 The optional @var{trst_type} and @var{srst_type} parameters allow the
1901 driver mode of each reset line to be specified. These values only affect
1902 JTAG interfaces with support for different driver modes, like the Amontec
1903 JTAGkey and JTAGAccelerator. Also, they are necessarily ignored if the
1904 relevant signal (TRST or SRST) is not connected.
1905
1906 Possible @var{trst_type} driver modes for the test reset signal (TRST)
1907 are @option{trst_push_pull} (default) and @option{trst_open_drain}.
1908 Most boards connect this signal to a pulldown, so the JTAG TAPs
1909 never leave reset unless they are hooked up to a JTAG adapter.
1910
1911 Possible @var{srst_type} driver modes for the system reset signal (SRST)
1912 are the default @option{srst_open_drain}, and @option{srst_push_pull}.
1913 Most boards connect this signal to a pullup, and allow the
1914 signal to be pulled low by various events including system
1915 powerup and pressing a reset button.

1920 @chapter TAP Declaration
1921 @cindex TAP declaration
1922 @cindex TAP configuration
1923
1924 @emph{Test Access Ports} (TAPs) are the core of JTAG.
1925 TAPs serve many roles, including:
1926
1927 @itemize @bullet
1928 @item @b{Debug Target} A CPU TAP can be used as a GDB debug target
1929 @item @b{Flash Programing} Some chips program the flash directly via JTAG.
1930 Others do it indirectly, making a CPU do it.
1931 @item @b{Program Download} Using the same CPU support GDB uses,
1932 you can initialize a DRAM controller, download code to DRAM, and then
1933 start running that code.
1934 @item @b{Boundary Scan} Most chips support boundary scan, which
1935 helps test for board assembly problems like solder bridges
1936 and missing connections
1937 @end itemize
1938
1939 OpenOCD must know about the active TAPs on your board(s).
1940 Setting up the TAPs is the core task of your configuration files.
1941 Once those TAPs are set up, you can pass their names to code
1942 which sets up CPUs and exports them as GDB targets,
1943 probes flash memory, performs low-level JTAG operations, and more.
1944
1945 @section Scan Chains
1946
1947 OpenOCD uses a JTAG adapter (interface) to talk to your board,
1948 which has a daisy chain of TAPs.
1949 That daisy chain is called a @dfn{scan chain}.
1950 Simple configurations may have a single TAP in the scan chain,
1951 perhaps for a microcontroller.
1952 Complex configurations might have a dozen or more TAPs:
1953 several in one chip, more in the next, and connecting
1954 to other boards with their own chips and TAPs.
1955
1956 Unfortunately those TAPs can't always be autoconfigured,
1957 because not all devices provide good support for that.
1958 (JTAG doesn't require supporting IDCODE instructions.)
1959 The configuration mechanism currently supported by OpenOCD
1960 requires explicit configuration of all TAP devices using
1961 @command{jtag newtap} commands.
1962 One like this would declare a tap and name it @code{chip1.cpu}:
1963
1964 @example
1965 jtag newtap chip1 cpu -irlen 7 -ircapture 0x01 -irmask 0x55
1966 @end example
1967
1968 Each target configuration file lists the TAPs provided
1969 by a given chip.
1970 Board configuration files combine all the targets on a board,
1971 and so forth.
1972 Note that @emph{the order in which TAPs are declared is very important.}
1973 It must match the order in the JTAG scan chain, both inside
1974 a single chip and between them.
1975 @xref{FAQ TAP Order}.
1976
1977 For example, the ST Microsystems STR912 chip has
1978 three separate TAPs@footnote{See the ST
1979 document titled: @emph{STR91xFAxxx, Section 3.15 Jtag Interface, Page:
1980 28/102, Figure 3: JTAG chaining inside the STR91xFA}.
1981 @url{http://eu.st.com/stonline/products/literature/ds/13495.pdf}}.
1982 To configure those taps, @file{target/str912.cfg}
1983 includes commands something like this:
1984
1985 @example
1986 jtag newtap str912 flash ... params ...
1987 jtag newtap str912 cpu ... params ...
1988 jtag newtap str912 bs ... params ...
1989 @end example
1990
1991 Actual config files use a variable instead of literals like
1992 @option{str912}, to support more than one chip of each type.
1993 @xref{Config File Guidelines}.
1994
1995 @section TAP Names
1996
1997 When TAP objects are declared with @command{jtag newtap},
1998 a @dfn{dotted.name} is created for the TAP, combining the
1999 name of a module (usually a chip) and a label for the TAP.
2000 For example: @code{xilinx.tap}, @code{str912.flash},
2001 @code{omap3530.jrc}, @code{dm6446.dsp}, or @code{stm32.cpu}.
2002 Many other commands use that dotted.name to manipulate or
2003 refer to the TAP. For example, CPU configuration uses the
2004 name, as does declaration of NAND or NOR flash banks.
2005
2006 The components of a dotted name should follow ``C'' symbol
2007 name rules: start with an alphabetic character, then numbers
2008 and underscores are OK; while others (including dots!) are not.
2009
2010 @quotation Tip
2011 In older code, JTAG TAPs were numbered from 0..N.
2012 This feature is still present.
2013 However its use is highly discouraged, and
2014 should not be counted upon.
2015 Update all of your scripts to use TAP names rather than numbers.
2016 Using TAP numbers in target configuration scripts prevents
2017 reusing on boards with multiple targets.

2055
2056 @itemize @bullet
2057 @item @code{-ircapture} @var{NUMBER}
2058 @*The IDCODE capture command, such as 0x01.
2059 @item @code{-irlen} @var{NUMBER}
2060 @*The length in bits of the
2061 instruction register, such as 4 or 5 bits.
2062 @item @code{-irmask} @var{NUMBER}
2063 @*A mask for the IR register.
2064 For some devices, there are bits in the IR that aren't used.
2065 This lets OpenOCD mask them off when doing IDCODE comparisons.
2066 In general, this should just be all ones for the size of the IR.
2067 @end itemize
2068
2069 A TAP may also provide optional @var{configparams}:
2070
2071 @itemize @bullet
2072 @item @code{-disable} (or @code{-enable})
2073 @*Use the @code{-disable} paramater to flag a TAP which is not
2074 linked in to the scan chain when it is declared.
2075 You may use @code{-enable} to highlight the default state
2076 (the TAP is linked in).
2077 @xref{Enabling and Disabling TAPs}.
2078 @item @code{-expected-id} @var{number}
2079 @*A non-zero value represents the expected 32-bit IDCODE
2080 found when the JTAG chain is examined.

2091 @section Enabling and Disabling TAPs
2092 @cindex TAP events
2093
2094 In some systems, a @dfn{JTAG Route Controller} (JRC)
2095 is used to enable and/or disable specific JTAG TAPs.
2096 Many ARM based chips from Texas Instruments include
2097 an ``ICEpick'' module, which is a JRC.
2098 Such chips include DaVinci and OMAP3 processors.
2099
2100 A given TAP may not be visible until the JRC has been
2101 told to link it into the scan chain; and if the JRC
2102 has been told to unlink that TAP, it will no longer
2103 be visible.
2104 Such routers address problems that JTAG ``bypass mode''
2105 ignores, such as:
2106
2107 @itemize
2108 @item The scan chain can only go as fast as its slowest TAP.
2109 @item Having many TAPs slows instruction scans, since all
2110 TAPs receive new instructions.
2111 @item TAPs in the scan chain must be powered up, which wastes
2112 power and prevents debugging some power management mechanisms.
2113 @end itemize
2114
2115 The IEEE 1149.1 JTAG standard has no concept of a ``disabled'' tap,
2116 as implied by the existence of JTAG routers.
2117 However, the upcoming IEEE 1149.7 framework (layered on top of JTAG)
2118 does include a kind of JTAG router functionality.
2119
2120 @c (a) currently the event handlers don't seem to be able to
2121 @c fail in a way that could lead to no-change-of-state.
2122 @c (b) eventually non-event configuration should be possible,
2123 @c in which case some this documentation must move.
2124
2125 @deffn Command {jtag cget} dotted.name @option{-event} name
2126 @deffnx Command {jtag configure} dotted.name @option{-event} name string
2127 At this writing this mechanism is used only for event handling,
2128 and the only two events relate to TAP enabling and disabling.
2129
2130 The @code{configure} subcommand assigns an event handler,
2131 a TCL string which is evaluated when the event is triggered.
2132 The @code{cget} subcommand returns that handler.
2133 The two possible values for an event @var{name}
2134 are @option{tap-disable} and @option{tap-enable}.
2135
2136 So for example, when defining a TAP for a CPU connected to
2137 a JTAG router, you should define TAP event handlers using
2138 code that looks something like this:
2139
2140 @example
2141 jtag configure CHIP.cpu -event tap-enable @{
2142 echo "Enabling CPU TAP"
2143 ... jtag operations using CHIP.jrc
2144 @}
2145 jtag configure CHIP.cpu -event tap-disable @{
2146 echo "Disabling CPU TAP"
2147 ... jtag operations using CHIP.jrc
2148 @}
2149 @end example
2150 @end deffn
2151
2152 @deffn Command {jtag tapdisable} dotted.name
2153 @deffnx Command {jtag tapenable} dotted.name
2154 @deffnx Command {jtag tapisenabled} dotted.name
2155 These three commands all return the string "1" if the tap
2156 specified by @var{dotted.name} is enabled,
2157 and "0" if it is disbabled.
2158 The @command{tapenable} variant first enables the tap
2159 by sending it a @option{tap-enable} event.
2160 The @command{tapdisable} variant first disables the tap
2161 by sending it a @option{tap-disable} event.
2162
2163 @quotation Note
2164 Humans will find the @command{scan_chain} command more helpful
2165 than the script-oriented @command{tapisenabled}
2166 for querying the state of the JTAG taps.

2171 @chapter CPU Configuration
2172 @cindex GDB target
2173
2174 This chapter discusses how to set up GDB debug targets for CPUs.
2175 You can also access these targets without GDB
2176 (@pxref{Architecture and Core Commands},
2177 and @ref{Target State handling}) and
2178 through various kinds of NAND and NOR flash commands.
2179 If you have multiple CPUs you can have multiple such targets.
2180
2181 We'll start by looking at how to examine the targets you have,
2182 then look at how to add one more target and how to configure it.
2183
2184 @section Target List
2185
2186 All targets that have been set up are part of a list,
2187 where each member has a name.
2188 That name should normally be the same as the TAP name.
2189 You can display the list with the @command{targets}
2190 (plural!) command.
2191 This display often has only one CPU; here's what it might
2192 look like with more than one:
2193 @verbatim
2194 TargetName Type Endian TapName State
2195 -- ------------------ ---------- ------ ------------------ ------------
2196 0* at91rm9200.cpu arm920t little at91rm9200.cpu running
2197 1 MyTarget cortex_m3 little mychip.foo tap-disabled
2198 @end verbatim
2199
2200 One member of that list is the @dfn{current target}, which
2201 is implicitly referenced by many commands.
2202 It's the one marked with a @code{*} near the target name.
2203 In particular, memory addresses often refer to the address
2204 space seen by that current target.
2205 Commands like @command{mdw} (memory display words)
2206 and @command{flash erase_address} (erase NOR flash blocks)
2207 are examples; and there are many more.
2208
2209 Several commands let you examine the list of targets:
2210
2211 @deffn Command {target count}
2212 Returns the number of targets, @math{N}.
2213 The highest numbered target is @math{N - 1}.
2214 @example
2215 set c [target count]
2216 for @{ set x 0 @} @{ $x < $c @} @{ incr x @} @{
2217 # Assuming you have created this function
2218 print_target_details $x
2219 @}
2220 @end example
2221 @end deffn
2222
2223 @deffn Command {target current}
2224 Returns the name of the current target.
2225 @end deffn
2226
2227 @deffn Command {target names}
2228 Lists the names of all current targets in the list.
2229 @example
2230 foreach t [target names] @{
2231 puts [format "Target: %s\n" $t]
2232 @}
2233 @end example
2234 @end deffn
2235
2236 @deffn Command {target number} number
2237 The list of targets is numbered starting at zero.
2238 This command returns the name of the target at index @var{number}.
2239 @example
2240 set thename [target number $x]
2241 puts [format "Target %d is: %s\n" $x $thename]
2242 @end example
2243 @end deffn
2244
2245 @c yep, "target list" would have been better.
2246 @c plus maybe "target setdefault".
2247
2248 @deffn Command targets [name]
2249 @emph{Note: the name of this command is plural. Other target
2250 command names are singular.}
2251
2252 With no parameter, this command displays a table of all known
2253 targets in a user friendly form.
2254
2255 With a parameter, this command sets the current target to
2256 the given target with the given @var{name}; this is
2257 only relevant on boards which have more than one target.
2258 @end deffn
2259
2260 @section Target CPU Types and Variants
2261
2262 Each target has a @dfn{CPU type}, as shown in the output of
2263 the @command{targets} command. You need to specify that type
2264 when calling @command{target create}.
2265 The CPU type indicates more than just the instruction set.
2266 It also indicates how that instruction set is implemented,
2267 what kind of debug support it integrates,
2268 whether it has an MMU (and if so, what kind),
2269 what core-specific commands may be available
2270 (@pxref{Architecture and Core Commands}),
2271 and more.
2272
2273 For some CPU types, OpenOCD also defines @dfn{variants} which
2274 indicate differences that affect their handling.
2275 For example, a particular implementation bug might need to be
2276 worked around in some chip versions.
2277
2278 It's easy to see what target types are supported,
2279 since there's a command to list them.
2280 However, there is currently no way to list what target variants
2281 are supported (other than by reading the OpenOCD source code).
2282
2283 @anchor{target types}
2284 @deffn Command {target types}
2285 Lists all supported target types.
2286 At this writing, the supported CPU types and variants are:
2287
2288 @itemize @bullet
2289 @item @code{arm11} -- this is a generation of ARMv6 cores
2290 @item @code{arm720t} -- this is an ARMv4 core
2291 @item @code{arm7tdmi} -- this is an ARMv4 core
2292 @item @code{arm920t} -- this is an ARMv5 core
2293 @item @code{arm926ejs} -- this is an ARMv5 core
2294 @item @code{arm966e} -- this is an ARMv5 core
2295 @item @code{arm9tdmi} -- this is an ARMv4 core
2296 @item @code{avr} -- implements Atmel's 8-bit AVR instruction set.
2297 (Support for this is preliminary and incomplete.)
2298 @item @code{cortex_a8} -- this is an ARMv7 core
2299 @item @code{cortex_m3} -- this is an ARMv7 core, supporting only the
2300 compact Thumb2 instruction set. It supports one variant:
2301 @itemize @minus
2302 @item @code{lm3s} ... Use this when debugging older Stellaris LM3S targets.
2303 This will cause OpenOCD to use a software reset rather than asserting
2304 SRST, to avoid a issue with clearing the debug registers.
2305 This is fixed in Fury Rev B, DustDevil Rev B, Tempest; these revisions will
2306 be detected and the normal reset behaviour used.
2307 @end itemize
2308 @item @code{feroceon} -- resembles arm926
2309 @item @code{mips_m4k} -- a MIPS core. This supports one variant:
2310 @itemize @minus
2311 @item @code{ejtag_srst} ... Use this when debugging targets that do not
2312 provide a functional SRST line on the EJTAG connector. This causes
2313 OpenOCD to instead use an EJTAG software reset command to reset the
2314 processor.
2315 You still need to enable @option{srst} on the @command{reset_config}
2316 command to enable OpenOCD hardware reset functionality.
2317 @end itemize
2318 @item @code{xscale} -- this is actually an architecture,
2319 not a CPU type. It is based on the ARMv5 architecture.
2320 There are several variants defined:
2321 @itemize @minus
2322 @item @code{ixp42x}, @code{ixp45x}, @code{ixp46x},
2323 @code{pxa27x} ... instruction register length is 7 bits
2324 @item @code{pxa250}, @code{pxa255},
2325 @code{pxa26x} ... instruction register length is 5 bits
2326 @end itemize
2327 @end itemize
2328 @end deffn
2329
2330 To avoid being confused by the variety of ARM based cores, remember
2331 this key point: @emph{ARM is a technology licencing company}.
2332 (See: @url{http://www.arm.com}.)
2333 The CPU name used by OpenOCD will reflect the CPU design that was
2334 licenced, not a vendor brand which incorporates that design.
2335 Name prefixes like arm7, arm9, arm11, and cortex
2336 reflect design generations;
2337 while names like ARMv4, ARMv5, ARMv6, and ARMv7
2338 reflect an architecture version implemented by a CPU design.
2339
2340 @anchor{Target Configuration}
2341 @section Target Configuration
2342
2343 Before creating a ``target'', you must have added its TAP to the scan chain.
2344 When you've added that TAP, you will have a @code{dotted.name}
2345 which is used to set up the CPU support.
2346 The chip-specific configuration file will normally configure its CPU(s)
2347 right after it adds all of the chip's TAPs to the scan chain.
2348
2349 Although you can set up a target in one step, it's often clearer if you
2350 use shorter commands and do it in two steps: create it, then configure
2351 optional parts.
2352 All operations on the target after it's created will use a new
2353 command, created as part of target creation.
2354
2355 The two main things to configure after target creation are
2356 a work area, which usually has target-specific defaults even
2357 if the board setup code overrides them later;
2358 and event handlers (@pxref{Target Events}), which tend
2359 to be much more board-specific.
2360 The key steps you use might look something like this
2361
2362 @example
2363 target create MyTarget cortex_m3 -chain-position mychip.cpu
2364 $MyTarget configure -work-area-phys 0x08000 -work-area-size 8096
2365 $MyTarget configure -event reset-deassert-pre @{ jtag_rclk 5 @}
2366 $MyTarget configure -event reset-init @{ myboard_reinit @}
2367 @end example
2368
2369 You should specify a working area if you can; typically it uses some
2370 on-chip SRAM.
2371 Such a working area can speed up many things, including bulk
2372 writes to target memory;
2373 flash operations like checking to see if memory needs to be erased;
2374 GDB memory checksumming;
2375 and more.
2376
2377 @quotation Warning
2378 On more complex chips, the work area can become
2379 inaccessible when application code
2380 (such as an operating system)
2381 enables or disables the MMU.
2382 For example, the particular MMU context used to acess the virtual
2383 address will probably matter ... and that context might not have
2384 easy access to other addresses needed.
2385 At this writing, OpenOCD doesn't have much MMU intelligence.
2386 @end quotation
2387
2388 It's often very useful to define a @code{reset-init} event handler.
2389 For systems that are normally used with a boot loader,
2390 common tasks include updating clocks and initializing memory
2391 controllers.
2392 That may be needed to let you write the boot loader into flash,
2393 in order to ``de-brick'' your board; or to load programs into
2394 external DDR memory without having run the boot loader.
2395
2396 @deffn Command {target create} target_name type configparams...
2397 This command creates a GDB debug target that refers to a specific JTAG tap.
2398 It enters that target into a list, and creates a new
2399 command (@command{@var{target_name}}) which is used for various
2400 purposes including additional configuration.
2401
2402 @itemize @bullet
2403 @item @var{target_name} ... is the name of the debug target.
2404 By convention this should be the same as the @emph{dotted.name}
2405 of the TAP associated with this target, which must be specified here
2406 using the @code{-chain-position @var{dotted.name}} configparam.
2407
2408 This name is also used to create the target object command,
2409 referred to here as @command{$target_name},
2410 and in other places the target needs to be identified.
2411 @item @var{type} ... specifies the target type. @xref{target types}.
2412 @item @var{configparams} ... all parameters accepted by
2413 @command{$target_name configure} are permitted.
2414 If the target is big-endian, set it here with @code{-endian big}.
2415 If the variant matters, set it here with @code{-variant}.
2416
2417 You @emph{must} set the @code{-chain-position @var{dotted.name}} here.

2426
2427 @emph{Warning:} changing some of these after setup is dangerous.
2428 For example, moving a target from one TAP to another;
2429 and changing its endianness or variant.
2430

2465 @section Other $target_name Commands
2466 @cindex object command
2467
2468 The Tcl/Tk language has the concept of object commands,
2469 and OpenOCD adopts that same model for targets.
2470
2471 A good Tk example is a on screen button.
2472 Once a button is created a button
2473 has a name (a path in Tk terms) and that name is useable as a first
2474 class command. For example in Tk, one can create a button and later
2475 configure it like this:
2476
2477 @example
2478 # Create
2479 button .foobar -background red -command @{ foo @}
2480 # Modify
2481 .foobar configure -foreground blue
2482 # Query
2483 set x [.foobar cget -background]
2484 # Report
2485 puts [format "The button is %s" $x]
2486 @end example
2487
2488 In OpenOCD's terms, the ``target'' is an object just like a Tcl/Tk
2489 button, and its object commands are invoked the same way.
2490
2491 @example
2492 str912.cpu mww 0x1234 0x42
2493 omap3530.cpu mww 0x5555 123
2494 @end example
2495
2496 The commands supported by OpenOCD target objects are:
2497
2498 @deffn Command {$target_name arp_examine}
2499 @deffnx Command {$target_name arp_halt}
2500 @deffnx Command {$target_name arp_poll}
2501 @deffnx Command {$target_name arp_reset}
2502 @deffnx Command {$target_name arp_waitstate}
2503 Internal OpenOCD scripts (most notably @file{startup.tcl})
2504 use these to deal with specific reset cases.
2505 They are not otherwise documented here.
2506 @end deffn
2507
2508 @deffn Command {$target_name array2mem} arrayname width address count
2509 @deffnx Command {$target_name mem2array} arrayname width address count
2510 These provide an efficient script-oriented interface to memory.
2511 The @code{array2mem} primitive writes bytes, halfwords, or words;
2512 while @code{mem2array} reads them.
2513 In both cases, the TCL side uses an array, and
2514 the target side uses raw memory.
2515
2516 The efficiency comes from enabling the use of
2517 bulk JTAG data transfer operations.
2518 The script orientation comes from working with data
2519 values that are packaged for use by TCL scripts;
2520 @command{mdw} type primitives only print data they retrieve,
2521 and neither store nor return those values.
2522
2523 @itemize
2524 @item @var{arrayname} ... is the name of an array variable
2525 @item @var{width} ... is 8/16/32 - indicating the memory access size
2526 @item @var{address} ... is the target memory address
2527 @item @var{count} ... is the number of elements to process
2528 @end itemize
2529 @end deffn
2530
2531 @deffn Command {$target_name cget} queryparm
2532 Each configuration parameter accepted by
2533 @command{$target_name configure}
2534 can be individually queried, to return its current value.
2535 The @var{queryparm} is a parameter name
2536 accepted by that command, such as @code{-work-area-phys}.
2537 There are a few special cases:
2538
2539 @itemize @bullet
2540 @item @code{-event} @var{event_name} -- returns the handler for the
2541 event named @var{event_name}.
2542 This is a special case because setting a handler requires
2543 two parameters.
2544 @item @code{-type} -- returns the target type.
2545 This is a special case because this is set using
2546 @command{target create} and can't be changed
2547 using @command{$target_name configure}.
2548 @end itemize
2549
2550 For example, if you wanted to summarize information about
2551 all the targets you might use something like this:
2552
2553 @example
2554 for @{ set x 0 @} @{ $x < [target count] @} @{ incr x @} @{

2729 @node Flash Commands
2730 @chapter Flash Commands
2731
2732 OpenOCD has different commands for NOR and NAND flash;
2733 the ``flash'' command works with NOR flash, while
2734 the ``nand'' command works with NAND flash.
2735 This partially reflects different hardware technologies:
2736 NOR flash usually supports direct CPU instruction and data bus access,
2737 while data from a NAND flash must be copied to memory before it can be
2738 used. (SPI flash must also be copied to memory before use.)
2739 However, the documentation also uses ``flash'' as a generic term;
2740 for example, ``Put flash configuration in board-specific files''.
2741
2742 @quotation Note
2743 As of 28-nov-2008 OpenOCD does not know how to program a SPI
2744 flash that a micro may boot from. Perhaps you, the reader, would like to
2745 contribute support for this.
2746 @end quotation
2747
2748 Flash Steps:
2749 @enumerate
2750 @item Configure via the command @command{flash bank}
2751 @* Do this in a board-specific configuration file,
2752 passing parameters as needed by the driver.
2753 @item Operate on the flash via @command{flash subcommand}
2754 @* Often commands to manipulate the flash are typed by a human, or run
2755 via a script in some automated way. Common tasks include writing a
2756 boot loader, operating system, or other data.
2757 @item GDB Flashing
2758 @* Flashing via GDB requires the flash be configured via ``flash
2759 bank'', and the GDB flash features be enabled.
2760 @xref{GDB Configuration}.
2761 @end enumerate
2762
2763 Many CPUs have the ablity to ``boot'' from the first flash bank.
2764 This means that misprograming that bank can ``brick'' a system,
2765 so that it can't boot.
2766 JTAG tools, like OpenOCD, are often then used to ``de-brick'' the
2767 board by (re)installing working boot firmware.

2826 @cindex flash writing
2827 @cindex flash programming
2828
2829 One feature distinguishing NOR flash from NAND or serial flash technologies
2830 is that for read access, it acts exactly like any other addressible memory.
2831 This means you can use normal memory read commands like @command{mdw} or
2832 @command{dump_image} with it, with no special @command{flash} subcommands.
2833 @xref{Memory access}, and @ref{Image access}.
2834
2835 Write access works differently. Flash memory normally needs to be erased
2836 before it's written. Erasing a sector turns all of its bits to ones, and
2837 writing can turn ones into zeroes. This is why there are special commands
2838 for interactive erasing and writing, and why GDB needs to know which parts
2839 of the address space hold NOR flash memory.
2840
2841 @quotation Note
2842 Most of these erase and write commands leverage the fact that NOR flash
2843 chips consume target address space. They implicitly refer to the current
2844 JTAG target, and map from an address in that target's address space
2845 back to a flash bank.
2846 @comment In May 2009, those mappings may fail if any bank associated
2847 @comment with that target doesn't succesfuly autoprobe ... bug worth fixing?
2848 A few commands use abstract addressing based on bank and sector numbers,
2849 and don't depend on searching the current target and its address space.
2850 Avoid confusing the two command models.
2851 @end quotation
2852
2853 Some flash chips implement software protection against accidental writes,
2854 since such buggy writes could in some cases ``brick'' a system.
2855 For such systems, erasing and writing may require sector protection to be
2856 disabled first.
2857 Examples include CFI flash such as ``Intel Advanced Bootblock flash'',
2858 and AT91SAM7 on-chip flash.

2952
2953 @subsection External Flash
2954
2955 @deffn {Flash Driver} cfi
2956 @cindex Common Flash Interface
2957 @cindex CFI
2958 The ``Common Flash Interface'' (CFI) is the main standard for
2959 external NOR flash chips, each of which connects to a
2960 specific external chip select on the CPU.
2961 Frequently the first such chip is used to boot the system.
2962 Your board's @code{reset-init} handler might need to
2963 configure additional chip selects using other commands (like: @command{mww} to
2964 configure a bus and its timings) , or
2965 perhaps configure a GPIO pin that controls the ``write protect'' pin
2966 on the flash chip.
2967 The CFI driver can use a target-specific working area to significantly
2968 speed up operation.
2969
2970 The CFI driver can accept the following optional parameters, in any order:
2971
2972 @itemize
2973 @item @var{jedec_probe} ... is used to detect certain non-CFI flash ROMs,
2974 like AM29LV010 and similar types.
2975 @item @var{x16_as_x8} ... when a 16-bit flash is hooked up to an 8-bit bus.
2976 @end itemize
2977
2978 To configure two adjacent banks of 16 MBytes each, both sixteen bits (two bytes)
2979 wide on a sixteen bit bus:
2980
2981 @example
2982 flash bank cfi 0x00000000 0x01000000 2 2 $_TARGETNAME
2983 flash bank cfi 0x01000000 0x01000000 2 2 $_TARGETNAME

2990 The ADUC702x analog microcontrollers from ST Micro
2991 include internal flash and use ARM7TDMI cores.
2992 The aduc702x flash driver works with models ADUC7019 through ADUC7028.
2993 The setup command only requires the @var{target} argument
2994 since all devices in this family have the same memory layout.
2995
2996 @example
2997 flash bank aduc702x 0 0 0 0 $_TARGETNAME
2998 @end example
2999 @end deffn
3000
3001 @deffn {Flash Driver} at91sam7
3002 All members of the AT91SAM7 microcontroller family from Atmel
3003 include internal flash and use ARM7TDMI cores.
3004 The driver automatically recognizes a number of these chips using
3005 the chip identification register, and autoconfigures itself.
3006
3007 @example
3008 flash bank at91sam7 0 0 0 0 $_TARGETNAME
3009 @end example
3010
3011 For chips which are not recognized by the controller driver, you must
3012 provide additional parameters in the following order:
3013
3014 @itemize
3015 @item @var{chip_model} ... label used with @command{flash info}
3016 @item @var{banks}
3017 @item @var{sectors_per_bank}
3018 @item @var{pages_per_sector}
3019 @item @var{pages_size}
3020 @item @var{num_nvm_bits}
3021 @item @var{freq_khz} ... required if an external clock is provided,
3022 optional (but recommended) when the oscillator frequency is known
3023 @end itemize
3024
3025 It is recommended that you provide zeroes for all of those values
3026 except the clock frequency, so that everything except that frequency
3027 will be autoconfigured.
3028 Knowing the frequency helps ensure correct timings for flash access.
3029
3030 The flash controller handles erases automatically on a page (128/256 byte)
3031 basis, so explicit erase commands are not necessary for flash programming.
3032 However, there is an ``EraseAll`` command that can erase an entire flash
3033 plane (of up to 256KB), and it will be used automatically when you issue
3034 @command{flash erase_sector} or @command{flash erase_address} commands.
3035
3036 @deffn Command {at91sam7 gpnvm} bitnum (set|clear)
3037 Set or clear a ``General Purpose Non-Volatle Memory'' (GPNVM)
3038 bit for the processor. Each processor has a number of such bits,
3039 used for controlling features such as brownout detection (so they
3040 are not truly general purpose).

3235 @subsection str9xpec driver
3236 @cindex str9xpec
3237
3238 Here is some background info to help
3239 you better understand how this driver works. OpenOCD has two flash drivers for
3240 the str9:
3241 @enumerate
3242 @item
3243 Standard driver @option{str9x} programmed via the str9 core. Normally used for
3244 flash programming as it is faster than the @option{str9xpec} driver.
3245 @item
3246 Direct programming @option{str9xpec} using the flash controller. This is an
3247 ISC compilant (IEEE 1532) tap connected in series with the str9 core. The str9
3248 core does not need to be running to program using this flash driver. Typical use
3249 for this driver is locking/unlocking the target and programming the option bytes.
3250 @end enumerate
3251
3252 Before we run any commands using the @option{str9xpec} driver we must first disable
3253 the str9 core. This example assumes the @option{str9xpec} driver has been
3254 configured for flash bank 0.
3255 @example
3256 # assert srst, we do not want core running
3257 # while accessing str9xpec flash driver
3258 jtag_reset 0 1
3259 # turn off target polling
3260 poll off
3261 # disable str9 core
3262 str9xpec enable_turbo 0
3263 # read option bytes
3264 str9xpec options_read 0
3265 # re-enable str9 core
3266 str9xpec disable_turbo 0
3267 poll on
3268 reset halt
3269 @end example
3270 The above example will read the str9 option bytes.
3271 When performing a unlock remember that you will not be able to halt the str9 - it
3272 has been locked. Halting the core is not required for the @option{str9xpec} driver
3273 as mentioned above, just issue the commands above manually or from a telnet prompt.
3274
3275 @deffn {Flash Driver} str9xpec
3276 Only use this driver for locking/unlocking the device or configuring the option bytes.
3277 Use the standard str9 driver for programming.
3278 Before using the flash commands the turbo mode must be enabled using the
3279 @command{str9xpec enable_turbo} command.
3280
3281 Several str9xpec-specific commands are defined:
3282
3283 @deffn Command {str9xpec disable_turbo} num
3284 Restore the str9 into JTAG chain.
3285 @end deffn
3286
3287 @deffn Command {str9xpec enable_turbo} num

3393 @node NAND Flash Commands
3394 @chapter NAND Flash Commands
3395 @cindex NAND
3396
3397 Compared to NOR or SPI flash, NAND devices are inexpensive
3398 and high density. Today's NAND chips, and multi-chip modules,
3399 commonly hold multiple GigaBytes of data.
3400
3401 NAND chips consist of a number of ``erase blocks'' of a given
3402 size (such as 128 KBytes), each of which is divided into a
3403 number of pages (of perhaps 512 or 2048 bytes each). Each
3404 page of a NAND flash has an ``out of band'' (OOB) area to hold
3405 Error Correcting Code (ECC) and other metadata, usually 16 bytes
3406 of OOB for every 512 bytes of page data.
3407
3408 One key characteristic of NAND flash is that its error rate
3409 is higher than that of NOR flash. In normal operation, that
3410 ECC is used to correct and detect errors. However, NAND
3411 blocks can also wear out and become unusable; those blocks
3412 are then marked "bad". NAND chips are even shipped from the
3413 manufacturer with a few bad blocks. The highest density chips
3414 use a technology (MLC) that wears out more quickly, so ECC
3415 support is increasingly important as a way to detect blocks
3416 that have begun to fail, and help to preserve data integrity
3417 with techniques such as wear leveling.
3418
3419 Software is used to manage the ECC. Some controllers don't
3420 support ECC directly; in those cases, software ECC is used.
3421 Other controllers speed up the ECC calculations with hardware.
3422 Single-bit error correction hardware is routine. Controllers
3423 geared for newer MLC chips may correct 4 or more errors for
3424 every 512 bytes of data.
3425
3426 You will need to make sure that any data you write using
3427 OpenOCD includes the apppropriate kind of ECC. For example,
3428 that may mean passing the @code{oob_softecc} flag when
3429 writing NAND data, or ensuring that the correct hardware
3430 ECC mode is used.
3431
3432 The basic steps for using NAND devices include:
3433 @enumerate
3434 @item Declare via the command @command{nand device}
3435 @* Do this in a board-specific configuration file,
3436 passing parameters as needed by the controller.
3437 @item Configure each device using @command{nand probe}.
3438 @* Do this only after the associated target is set up,
3439 such as in its reset-init script or in procures defined
3440 to access that device.
3441 @item Operate on the flash via @command{nand subcommand}
3442 @* Often commands to manipulate the flash are typed by a human, or run
3443 via a script in some automated way. Common task include writing a
3444 boot loader, operating system, or other data needed to initialize or
3445 de-brick a board.
3446 @end enumerate
3447
3448 @b{NOTE:} At the time this text was written, the largest NAND
3449 flash fully supported by OpenOCD is 2 GiBytes (16 GiBits).
3450 This is because the variables used to hold offsets and lengths
3451 are only 32 bits wide.
3452 (Larger chips may work in some cases, unless an offset or length
3453 is larger than 0xffffffff, the largest 32-bit unsigned integer.)
3454 Some larger devices will work, since they are actually multi-chip
3455 modules with two smaller chips and individual chipselect lines.

3465 Declares a NAND device, which can be read and written to
3466 after it has been configured through @command{nand probe}.
3467 In OpenOCD, devices are single chips; this is unlike some
3468 operating systems, which may manage multiple chips as if
3469 they were a single (larger) device.
3470 In some cases, configuring a device will activate extra
3471 commands; see the controller-specific documentation.

3559 @deffn Command {nand write} num filename offset [option...]
3560 @cindex NAND writing
3561 @cindex NAND programming
3562 Writes binary data from the file into the specified NAND device,
3563 starting at the specified offset. Those pages should already
3564 have been erased; you can't change zero bits to one bits.
3565 The @var{num} parameter is the value shown by @command{nand list}.
3566
3567 Use a complete path name for @var{filename}, so you don't depend
3568 on the directory used to start the OpenOCD server.
3569
3570 The @var{offset} must be an exact multiple of the device's page size.
3571 All data in the file will be written, assuming it doesn't run
3572 past the end of the device.
3573 Only full pages are written, and any extra space in the last
3574 page will be filled with 0xff bytes. (That includes OOB data,
3575 if that's being written.)
3576
3577 @b{NOTE:} At the time this text was written, bad blocks are
3578 ignored. That is, this routine will not skip bad blocks,
3579 but will instead try to write them. This can cause problems.
3580
3581 Provide at most one @var{option} parameter. With some
3582 NAND drivers, the meanings of these parameters may change
3583 if @command{nand raw_access} was used to disable hardware ECC.
3584 @itemize @bullet

3587 If raw acccess is in use, the OOB area will not be written.
3588 Otherwise, if the underlying NAND controller driver has
3589 a @code{write_page} routine, that routine may write the OOB
3590 with hardware-computed ECC data.
3591 @item @code{oob_only}
3592 @*File has only raw OOB data, which is written to the OOB area.
3593 Each page's data area stays untouched. @i{This can be a dangerous
3594 option}, since it can invalidate the ECC data.
3595 You may need to force raw access to use this mode.
3596 @item @code{oob_raw}
3597 @*File interleaves data and OOB data, both of which are written
3598 If raw access is enabled, the data is written first, then the
3599 un-altered OOB.
3600 Otherwise, if the underlying NAND controller driver has
3601 a @code{write_page} routine, that routine may modify the OOB
3602 before it's written, to include hardware-computed ECC data.
3603 @item @code{oob_softecc}
3604 @*File has only page data, which is written.
3605 The OOB area is filled with 0xff, except for a standard 1-bit
3606 software ECC code stored in conventional locations.
3607 You might need to force raw access to use this mode, to prevent
3608 the underlying driver from applying hardware ECC.
3609 @item @code{oob_softecc_kw}
3610 @*File has only page data, which is written.
3611 The OOB area is filled with 0xff, except for a 4-bit software ECC
3612 specific to the boot ROM in Marvell Kirkwood SoCs.

3622 Checks for manufacturer bad block markers on the specified NAND
3623 device. If no parameters are provided, checks the whole
3624 device; otherwise, starts at the specified @var{offset} and
3625 continues for @var{length} bytes.
3626 Both of those values must be exact multiples of the device's
3627 block size, and the region they specify must fit entirely in the chip.
3628 The @var{num} parameter is the value shown by @command{nand list}.
3629
3630 @b{NOTE:} Before using this command you should force raw access

3641
3642 @deffn Command {nand raw_access} num (@option{enable}|@option{disable})
3643 Sets or clears an flag affecting how page I/O is done.
3644 The @var{num} parameter is the value shown by @command{nand list}.
3645
3646 This flag is cleared (disabled) by default, but changing that
3647 value won't affect all NAND devices. The key factor is whether
3648 the underlying driver provides @code{read_page} or @code{write_page}
3649 methods. If it doesn't provide those methods, the setting of
3650 this flag is irrelevant; all access is effectively ``raw''.
3651
3652 When those methods exist, they are normally used when reading
3653 data (@command{nand dump} or reading bad block markers) or
3654 writing it (@command{nand write}). However, enabling
3655 raw access (setting the flag) prevents use of those methods,
3656 bypassing hardware ECC logic.
3657 @i{This can be a dangerous option}, since writing blocks
3658 with the wrong ECC data can cause them to be marked as bad.

3666
3667 @deffn {NAND Driver} davinci
3668 This driver handles the NAND controllers found on DaVinci family
3669 chips from Texas Instruments.
3670 It takes three extra parameters:
3671 address of the NAND chip;
3672 hardware ECC mode to use (hwecc1, hwecc4, hwecc4_infix);
3673 address of the AEMIF controller on this processor.
3674 @example
3675 nand device davinci dm355.arm 0x02000000 hwecc4 0x01e10000
3676 @end example
3677 All DaVinci processors support the single-bit ECC hardware,
3678 and newer ones also support the four-bit ECC hardware.
3679 The @code{write_page} and @code{read_page} methods are used
3680 to implement those ECC modes, unless they are disabled using
3681 the @command{nand raw_access} command.
3682 @end deffn
3683
3684 @deffn {NAND Driver} lpc3180

3686 parameter: the clock rate used by the controller.
3687 @deffn Command {lpc3180 select} num [mlc|slc]
3688 Configures use of the MLC or SLC controller mode.
3689 MLC implies use of hardware ECC.
3690 The @var{num} parameter is the value shown by @command{nand list}.
3691 @end deffn
3692
3693 At this writing, this driver includes @code{write_page}
3694 and @code{read_page} methods. Using @command{nand raw_access}
3695 to disable those methods will prevent use of hardware ECC
3696 in the MLC controller mode, but won't change SLC behavior.

3727
3728 The commands documented in this chapter here are common commands that
3729 you, as a human, may want to type and see the output of. Configuration type
3730 commands are documented elsewhere.
3731
3732 Intent:
3733 @itemize @bullet
3734 @item @b{Source Of Commands}
3735 @* OpenOCD commands can occur in a configuration script (discussed
3736 elsewhere) or typed manually by a human or supplied programatically,
3737 or via one of several TCP/IP Ports.
3738
3739 @item @b{From the human}
3740 @* A human should interact with the telnet interface (default port: 4444)
3741 or via GDB (default port 3333).
3742
3743 To issue commands from within a GDB session, use the @option{monitor}
3744 command, e.g. use @option{monitor poll} to issue the @option{poll}
3745 command. All output is relayed through the GDB session.
3746
3747 @item @b{Machine Interface}
3748 The Tcl interface's intent is to be a machine interface. The default Tcl
3749 port is 5555.

3755 @deffn Command sleep msec [@option{busy}]
3756 Wait for at least @var{msec} milliseconds before resuming.
3757 If @option{busy} is passed, busy-wait instead of sleeping.
3758 (This option is strongly discouraged.)
3759 Useful in connection with script files
3760 (@command{script} command and @command{target_name} configuration).
3761 @end deffn
3762
3763 @deffn Command shutdown
3764 Close the OpenOCD daemon, disconnecting all clients (GDB, telnet, other).
3765 @end deffn
3766
3767 @anchor{debug_level}
3768 @deffn Command debug_level [n]
3769 @cindex message level
3770 Display debug level.
3771 If @var{n} (from 0..3) is provided, then set it to that level.
3772 This affects the kind of messages sent to the server log.
3773 Level 0 is error messages only;
3774 level 1 adds warnings;
3775 level 2 (the default) adds informational messages;
3776 and level 3 adds debugging messages.
3777 @end deffn
3778
3779 @deffn Command fast (@option{enable}|@option{disable})
3780 Default disabled.
3781 Set default behaviour of OpenOCD to be "fast and dangerous".
3782
3783 At this writing, this only affects the defaults for two ARM7/ARM9 parameters:
3784 fast memory access, and DCC downloads. Those parameters may still be
3785 individually overridden.
3786
3787 The target specific "dangerous" optimisation tweaking options may come and go
3788 as more robust and user friendly ways are found to ensure maximum throughput
3789 and robustness with a minimum of configuration.
3790
3791 Typically the "fast enable" is specified first on the command line:
3792
3793 @example
3794 openocd -c "fast enable" -c "interface dummy" -f target/str710.cfg
3795 @end example
3796 @end deffn
3797
3798 @deffn Command echo message
3799 Logs a message at "user" priority.
3800 Output @var{message} to stdout.

3802 echo "Downloading kernel -- please wait"
3803 @end example
3804 @end deffn

3813 @cindex reset
3814 @cindex halt
3815 @cindex target initialization
3816
3817 In this section ``target'' refers to a CPU configured as
3818 shown earlier (@pxref{CPU Configuration}).
3819 These commands, like many, implicitly refer to
3820 a @dfn{current target} which is used to perform the
3821 various operations. The current target may be changed
3822 by using @command{targets} command with the name of the
3823 target which should become current.
3824
3825 @deffn Command reg [(number|name) [value]]
3826 Access a single register by @var{number} or by its @var{name}.
3827
3828 @emph{With no arguments}:
3829 list all available registers for the current target,
3830 showing number, name, size, value, and cache status.
3831
3832 @emph{With number/name}: display that register's value.
3833
3834 @emph{With both number/name and value}: set register's value.
3835
3836 Cores may have surprisingly many registers in their
3837 Debug and trace infrastructure:
3838
3839 @example
3840 > reg
3841 (0) r0 (/32): 0x0000D3C2 (dirty: 1, valid: 1)

3848 @end example
3849 @end deffn
3850
3851 @deffn Command halt [ms]
3852 @deffnx Command wait_halt [ms]
3853 The @command{halt} command first sends a halt request to the target,
3854 which @command{wait_halt} doesn't.
3855 Otherwise these behave the same: wait up to @var{ms} milliseconds,
3856 or 5 seconds if there is no parameter, for the target to halt
3857 (and enter debug mode).
3858 Using 0 as the @var{ms} parameter prevents OpenOCD from waiting.
3859 @end deffn
3860
3861 @deffn Command resume [address]
3862 Resume the target at its current code position,
3863 or the optional @var{address} if it is provided.
3864 OpenOCD will wait 5 seconds for the target to resume.
3865 @end deffn

3878 @emph{All defined targets will be reset, and target
3879 events will fire during the reset sequence.}
3880
3881 The optional parameter specifies what should

3893
3894 @deffn Command soft_reset_halt
3895 Requesting target halt and executing a soft reset. This is often used
3896 when a target cannot be reset and halted. The target, after reset is
3897 released begins to execute code. OpenOCD attempts to stop the CPU and
3898 then sets the program counter back to the reset vector. Unfortunately
3899 the code that was executed may have left the hardware in an unknown
3900 state.

3971 Normally you should be using @command{load_image} or GDB load. However, for
3972 testing purposes or when I/O overhead is significant(OpenOCD running on an embedded
3973 host), storing the image in memory and uploading the image to the target
3974 can be a way to upload e.g. multiple debug sessions when the binary does not change.
3975 Arguments are the same as @command{load_image}, but the image is stored in OpenOCD host
3976 memory, i.e. does not affect target. This approach is also useful when profiling
3977 target programming performance as I/O and target programming can easily be profiled
3978 separately.

4027 The watch point is an "access" watchpoint unless
4028 the @option{r} or @option{w} parameter is provided,
4029 defining it as respectively a read or write watchpoint.
4030 If a @var{value} is provided, that value is used when determining if

4059 CPUs based on ARM cores may include standard tracing interfaces,
4060 based on an ``Embedded Trace Module'' (ETM) which sends voluminous
4061 address and data bus trace records to a ``Trace Port''.
4062
4063 @itemize
4064 @item
4065 Development-oriented boards will sometimes provide a high speed
4066 trace connector for collecting that data, when the particular CPU
4067 supports such an interface.
4068 (The standard connector is a 38-pin Mictor, with both JTAG
4069 and trace port support.)
4070 Those trace connectors are supported by higher end JTAG adapters
4071 and some logic analyzer modules; frequently those modules can
4072 buffer several megabytes of trace data.
4073 Configuring an ETM coupled to such an external trace port belongs
4074 in the board-specific configuration file.
4075 @item
4076 If the CPU doesn't provide an external interface, it probably
4077 has an ``Embedded Trace Buffer'' (ETB) on the chip, which is a
4078 dedicated SRAM. 4KBytes is one common ETB size.
4079 Configuring an ETM coupled only to an ETB belongs in the CPU-specific
4080 (target) configuration file, since it works the same on all boards.
4081 @end itemize
4082
4083 ETM support in OpenOCD doesn't seem to be widely used yet.
4084
4085 @quotation Issues
4086 ETM support may be buggy, and at least some @command{etm config}
4087 parameters should be detected by asking the ETM for them.
4088 It seems like a GDB hookup should be possible,
4089 as well as triggering trace on specific events
4090 (perhaps @emph{handling IRQ 23} or @emph{calls foo()}).
4091 There should be GUI tools to manipulate saved trace data and help
4092 analyse it in conjunction with the source code.
4093 It's unclear how much of a common interface is shared
4094 with the current XScale trace support, or should be
4095 shared with eventual Nexus-style trace module support.

4097
4098 @subsection ETM Configuration
4099 ETM setup is coupled with the trace port driver configuration.
4100
4101 @deffn {Config Command} {etm config} target width mode clocking driver
4102 Declares the ETM associated with @var{target}, and associates it
4103 with a given trace port @var{driver}. @xref{Trace Port Drivers}.
4104
4105 Several of the parameters must reflect the trace port configuration.
4106 The @var{width} must be either 4, 8, or 16.
4107 The @var{mode} must be @option{normal}, @option{multiplexted},
4108 or @option{demultiplexted}.
4109 The @var{clocking} must be @option{half} or @option{full}.
4110
4111 @quotation Note
4112 You can see the ETM registers using the @command{reg} command, although
4113 not all of those possible registers are present in every ETM.

4297 as used in the specified @var{mode}
4298 (where e.g. mode 16 is "user" and mode 19 is "supervisor";
4299 the M4..M0 bits of the PSR).
4300 Registers 0..15 are the normal CPU registers such as r0(0), r1(1) ... pc(15).
4301 Register 16 is the mode-specific SPSR,
4302 unless the specified mode is 0xffffffff (32-bit all-ones)
4303 in which case register 16 is the CPSR.

4321 Writes eight bits to the CPSR or SPSR,
4322 first rotating them by @math{2*rotate} bits,
4323 and bypassing the register cache.

4672 @node JTAG Commands
4673 @chapter JTAG Commands
4674 @cindex JTAG Commands
4675 Most general purpose JTAG commands have been presented earlier.
4676 (@xref{JTAG Speed}, @ref{Reset Configuration}, and @ref{TAP Declaration}.)
4677 Lower level JTAG commands, as presented here,
4678 may be needed to work with targets which require special
4679 attention during operations such as reset or initialization.
4680
4681 To use these commands you will need to understand some
4682 of the basics of JTAG, including:
4683
4684 @itemize @bullet
4685 @item A JTAG scan chain consists of a sequence of individual TAP
4686 devices such as a CPUs.
4687 @item Control operations involve moving each TAP through the same
4688 standard state machine (in parallel)
4689 using their shared TMS and clock signals.
4690 @item Data transfer involves shifting data through the chain of
4691 instruction or data registers of each TAP, writing new register values
4692 while the reading previous ones.
4693 @item Data register sizes are a function of the instruction active in
4694 a given TAP, while instruction register sizes are fixed for each TAP.
4695 All TAPs support a BYPASS instruction with a single bit data register.
4696 @item The way OpenOCD differentiates between TAP devices is by
4697 shifting different instructions into (and out of) their instruction
4698 registers.
4699 @end itemize
4700
4701 @section Low Level JTAG Commands
4702
4703 These commands are used by developers who need to access
4704 JTAG instruction or data registers, possibly controlling
4705 the order of TAP state transitions.
4706 If you're not debugging OpenOCD internals, or bringing up a
4707 new JTAG adapter or a new type of TAP device (like a CPU or
4708 JTAG router), you probably won't need to use these commands.
4709
4710 @deffn Command {drscan} tap [numbits value]+ [@option{-endstate} tap_state]
4711 Loads the data register of @var{tap} with a series of bit fields
4712 that specify the entire register.
4713 Each field is @var{numbits} bits long with
4714 a numeric @var{value} (hexadecimal encouraged).
4715 The return value holds the original value of each
4716 of those fields.
4717
4718 For example, a 38 bit number might be specified as one
4719 field of 32 bits then one of 6 bits.
4720 @emph{For portability, never pass fields which are more
4721 than 32 bits long. Many OpenOCD implementations do not
4722 support 64-bit (or larger) integer values.}
4723
4724 All TAPs other than @var{tap} must be in BYPASS mode.
4725 The single bit in their data registers does not matter.
4726
4727 When @var{tap_state} is specified, the JTAG state machine is left
4728 in that state.
4729 For example @sc{drpause} might be specified, so that more
4730 instructions can be issued before re-entering the @sc{run/idle} state.
4731 If the end state is not specified, the @sc{run/idle} state is entered.
4732
4733 @quotation Warning
4734 OpenOCD does not record information about data register lengths,
4735 so @emph{it is important that you get the bit field lengths right}.
4736 Remember that different JTAG instructions refer to different
4737 data registers, which may have different lengths.
4738 Moreover, those lengths may not be fixed;
4739 the SCAN_N instruction can change the length of
4740 the register accessed by the INTEST instruction
4741 (by connecting a different scan chain).
4742 @end quotation
4743 @end deffn
4744
4745 @deffn Command {flush_count}
4746 Returns the number of times the JTAG queue has been flushed.
4747 This may be used for performance tuning.
4748
4749 For example, flushing a queue over USB involves a
4750 minimum latency, often several milliseconds, which does
4751 not change with the amount of data which is written.
4752 You may be able to identify performance problems by finding
4753 tasks which waste bandwidth by flushing small transfers too often,
4754 instead of batching them into larger operations.
4755 @end deffn
4756
4757 @deffn Command {irscan} [tap instruction]+ [@option{-endstate} tap_state]
4758 For each @var{tap} listed, loads the instruction register
4759 with its associated numeric @var{instruction}.
4760 (The number of bits in that instruction may be displayed
4761 using the @command{scan_chain} command.)
4762 For other TAPs, a BYPASS instruction is loaded.
4763
4764 When @var{tap_state} is specified, the JTAG state machine is left
4765 in that state.
4766 For example @sc{irpause} might be specified, so the data register
4767 can be loaded before re-entering the @sc{run/idle} state.
4768 If the end state is not specified, the @sc{run/idle} state is entered.
4769
4770 @quotation Note
4771 OpenOCD currently supports only a single field for instruction
4772 register values, unlike data register values.
4773 For TAPs where the instruction register length is more than 32 bits,
4774 portable scripts currently must issue only BYPASS instructions.

4778 @deffn Command {jtag_reset} trst srst
4779 Set values of reset signals.
4780 The @var{trst} and @var{srst} parameter values may be
4781 @option{0}, indicating that reset is inactive (pulled or driven high),
4782 or @option{1}, indicating it is active (pulled or driven low).
4783 The @command{reset_config} command should already have been used
4784 to configure how the board and JTAG adapter treat these two
4785 signals, and to say if either signal is even present.
4786 @xref{Reset Configuration}.
4787 @end deffn
4788
4789 @deffn Command {runtest} @var{num_cycles}
4790 Move to the @sc{run/idle} state, and execute at least
4791 @var{num_cycles} of the JTAG clock (TCK).
4792 Instructions often need some time
4793 to execute before they take effect.
4794 @end deffn
4795
4796 @deffn Command {scan_chain}
4797 Displays the TAPs in the scan chain configuration,
4798 and their status.
4799 The set of TAPs listed by this command is fixed by
4800 exiting the OpenOCD configuration stage,
4801 but systems with a JTAG router can
4802 enable or disable TAPs dynamically.
4803 In addition to the enable/disable status, the contents of
4804 each TAP's instruction register can also change.

4827 and @command{irscan} commands are:
4828
4829 @itemize @bullet
4830 @item @b{RESET} ... should act as if TRST were active
4831 @item @b{RUN/IDLE} ... don't assume this always means IDLE
4832 @item @b{DRSELECT}
4833 @item @b{DRCAPTURE}
4834 @item @b{DRSHIFT} ... TDI/TDO shifting through the data register
4835 @item @b{DREXIT1}

4837 @item @b{DREXIT2}
4838 @item @b{DRUPDATE}
4839 @item @b{IRSELECT}
4840 @item @b{IRCAPTURE}

4844 @item @b{IREXIT2}
4845 @item @b{IRUPDATE}
4846 @end itemize
4847
4848 Note that only six of those states are fully ``stable'' in the
4849 face of TMS fixed (usually low)
4850 and a free-running JTAG clock. For all the
4851 others, the next TCK transition changes to a new state.
4852
4853 @itemize @bullet
4854 @item From @sc{drshift} and @sc{irshift}, clock transitions will
4855 produce side effects by changing register contents. The values
4856 to be latched in upcoming @sc{drupdate} or @sc{irupdate} states
4857 may not be as expected.
4858 @item @sc{run/idle}, @sc{drpause}, and @sc{irpause} are reasonable
4859 choices after @command{drscan} or @command{irscan} commands,
4860 since they are free of JTAG side effects.
4861 However, @sc{run/idle} may have side effects that appear at other
4862 levels, such as advancing the ARM9E-S instruction pipeline.
4863 Consult the documentation for the TAP(s) you are working with.

4866 @node TFTP
4867 @chapter TFTP
4868 @cindex TFTP
4869 If OpenOCD runs on an embedded host(as ZY1000 does), then TFTP can
4870 be used to access files on PCs (either the developer's PC or some other PC).
4871
4872 The way this works on the ZY1000 is to prefix a filename by
4873 "/tftp/ip/" and append the TFTP path on the TFTP
4874 server (tftpd). For example,
4875
4876 @example
4877 load_image /tftp/10.0.0.96/c:\temp\abc.elf
4878 @end example
4879
4880 will load c:\temp\abc.elf from the developer pc (10.0.0.96) into memory as
4881 if the file was hosted on the embedded host.
4882
4883 In order to achieve decent performance, you must choose a TFTP server
4884 that supports a packet size bigger than the default packet size (512 bytes). There
4885 are numerous TFTP servers out there (free and commercial) and you will have to do
4886 a bit of googling to find something that fits your requirements.

4916 @chapter GDB and OpenOCD
4917 @cindex GDB
4918 OpenOCD complies with the remote gdbserver protocol, and as such can be used
4919 to debug remote targets.
4920
4921 @anchor{Connecting to GDB}
4922 @section Connecting to GDB
4923 @cindex Connecting to GDB
4924 Use GDB 6.7 or newer with OpenOCD if you run into trouble. For
4925 instance GDB 6.3 has a known bug that produces bogus memory access
4926 errors, which has since been fixed: look up 1836 in
4927 @url{http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?database=gdb}
4928
4929 OpenOCD can communicate with GDB in two ways:
4930
4931 @enumerate
4932 @item
4933 A socket (TCP/IP) connection is typically started as follows:
4934 @example
4935 target remote localhost:3333
4936 @end example
4937 This would cause GDB to connect to the gdbserver on the local pc using port 3333.
4938 @item
4939 A pipe connection is typically started as follows:
4940 @example
4941 target remote | openocd --pipe
4942 @end example
4943 This would cause GDB to run OpenOCD and communicate using pipes (stdin/stdout).
4944 Using this method has the advantage of GDB starting/stopping OpenOCD for the debug
4945 session.
4946 @end enumerate
4947
4948 To list the available OpenOCD commands type @command{monitor help} on the
4949 GDB command line.
4950
4951 OpenOCD supports the gdb @option{qSupported} packet, this enables information
4952 to be sent by the GDB remote server (i.e. OpenOCD) to GDB. Typical information includes
4953 packet size and the device's memory map.
4954
4955 Previous versions of OpenOCD required the following GDB options to increase
4956 the packet size and speed up GDB communication:
4957 @example
4958 set remote memory-write-packet-size 1024
4959 set remote memory-write-packet-size fixed
4960 set remote memory-read-packet-size 1024
4961 set remote memory-read-packet-size fixed
4962 @end example
4963 This is now handled in the @option{qSupported} PacketSize and should not be required.
4964
4965 @section Programming using GDB
4966 @cindex Programming using GDB
4967
4968 By default the target memory map is sent to GDB. This can be disabled by
4969 the following OpenOCD configuration option:
4970 @example
4971 gdb_memory_map disable
4972 @end example
4973 For this to function correctly a valid flash configuration must also be set
4974 in OpenOCD. For faster performance you should also configure a valid
4975 working area.
4976
4977 Informing GDB of the memory map of the target will enable GDB to protect any
4978 flash areas of the target and use hardware breakpoints by default. This means
4979 that the OpenOCD option @command{gdb_breakpoint_override} is not required when
4980 using a memory map. @xref{gdb_breakpoint_override}.
4981
4982 To view the configured memory map in GDB, use the GDB command @option{info mem}
4983 All other unassigned addresses within GDB are treated as RAM.
4984
4985 GDB 6.8 and higher set any memory area not in the memory map as inaccessible.
4986 This can be changed to the old behaviour by using the following GDB command
4987 @example
4988 set mem inaccessible-by-default off
4989 @end example
4990
4991 If @command{gdb_flash_program enable} is also used, GDB will be able to
4992 program any flash memory using the vFlash interface.
4993
4994 GDB will look at the target memory map when a load command is given, if any
4995 areas to be programmed lie within the target flash area the vFlash packets
4996 will be used.
4997
4998 If the target needs configuring before GDB programming, an event
4999 script can be executed:
5000 @example
5001 $_TARGETNAME configure -event EVENTNAME BODY
5002 @end example
5003
5004 To verify any flash programming the GDB command @option{compare-sections}
5005 can be used.

5013 The commands are stateless. E.g. the telnet command line has a concept
5014 of currently active target, the Tcl API proc's take this sort of state
5015 information as an argument to each proc.
5016
5017 There are three main types of return values: single value, name value
5018 pair list and lists.
5019
5020 Name value pair. The proc 'foo' below returns a name/value pair

5032 > set foo
5033
5034 The result is:
5035
5036 me Duane you Oyvind mouse Micky duck Donald

5042 }

5189 @cindex RTCK
5190 @cindex adaptive clocking
5191 @*
5192
5193 In digital circuit design it is often refered to as ``clock
5194 synchronisation'' the JTAG interface uses one clock (TCK or TCLK)
5195 operating at some speed, your target is operating at another. The two
5196 clocks are not synchronised, they are ``asynchronous''
5197
5198 In order for the two to work together they must be synchronised. Otherwise
5199 the two systems will get out of sync with each other and nothing will
5200 work. There are 2 basic options:
5201 @enumerate
5202 @item
5203 Use a special circuit.
5204 @item
5205 One clock must be some multiple slower than the other.
5206 @end enumerate
5207
5208 @b{Does this really matter?} For some chips and some situations, this
5209 is a non-issue (i.e.: A 500MHz ARM926) but for others - for example some
5210 Atmel SAM7 and SAM9 chips start operation from reset at 32kHz -
5211 program/enable the oscillators and eventually the main clock. It is in
5212 those critical times you must slow the JTAG clock to sometimes 1 to
5213 4kHz.
5214
5215 Imagine debugging a 500MHz ARM926 hand held battery powered device
5216 that ``deep sleeps'' at 32kHz between every keystroke. It can be
5217 painful.
5218
5219 @b{Solution #1 - A special circuit}
5220
5221 In order to make use of this, your JTAG dongle must support the RTCK
5222 feature. Not all dongles support this - keep reading!
5223
5224 The RTCK signal often found in some ARM chips is used to help with
5225 this problem. ARM has a good description of the problem described at
5226 this link: @url{http://www.arm.com/support/faqdev/4170.html} [checked
5227 28/nov/2008]. Link title: ``How does the JTAG synchronisation logic
5228 work? / how does adaptive clocking work?''.
5229
5230 The nice thing about adaptive clocking is that ``battery powered hand
5231 held device example'' - the adaptiveness works perfectly all the
5232 time. One can set a break point or halt the system in the deep power
5233 down code, slow step out until the system speeds up.
5234
5235 @b{Solution #2 - Always works - but may be slower}
5236
5237 Often this is a perfectly acceptable solution.
5238
5239 In most simple terms: Often the JTAG clock must be 1/10 to 1/12 of
5240 the target clock speed. But what that ``magic division'' is varies
5241 depending on the chips on your board. @b{ARM rule of thumb} Most ARM
5242 based systems require an 8:1 division. @b{Xilinx rule of thumb} is
5243 1/12 the clock speed.
5244
5245 Note: Many FTDI2232C based JTAG dongles are limited to 6MHz.
5246
5247 You can still debug the 'low power' situations - you just need to
5248 manually adjust the clock speed at every step. While painful and
5249 tedious, it is not always practical.
5250
5251 It is however easy to ``code your way around it'' - i.e.: Cheat a little,
5252 have a special debug mode in your application that does a ``high power
5253 sleep''. If you are careful - 98% of your problems can be debugged
5254 this way.
5255
5256 To set the JTAG frequency use the command:
5257
5258 @example
5259 # Example: 1.234MHz
5260 jtag_khz 1234
5261 @end example
5262
5263
5264 @item @b{Win32 Pathnames} Why don't backslashes work in Windows paths?
5265
5266 OpenOCD uses Tcl and a backslash is an escape char. Use @{ and @}
5267 around Windows filenames.
5268
5269 @example
5270 > echo \a
5271
5272 > echo @{\a@}
5273 \a
5274 > echo "\a"
5275
5276 >
5277 @end example
5278
5279
5280 @item @b{Missing: cygwin1.dll} OpenOCD complains about a missing cygwin1.dll.
5281
5282 Make sure you have Cygwin installed, or at least a version of OpenOCD that
5283 claims to come with all the necessary DLLs. When using Cygwin, try launching
5284 OpenOCD from the Cygwin shell.
5285
5286 @item @b{Breakpoint Issue} I'm trying to set a breakpoint using GDB (or a frontend like Insight or
5287 Eclipse), but OpenOCD complains that "Info: arm7_9_common.c:213
5288 arm7_9_add_breakpoint(): sw breakpoint requested, but software breakpoints not enabled".
5289
5290 GDB issues software breakpoints when a normal breakpoint is requested, or to implement
5291 source-line single-stepping. On ARMv4T systems, like ARM7TDMI, ARM720T or ARM920T,
5292 software breakpoints consume one of the two available hardware breakpoints.
5293
5294 @item @b{LPC2000 Flash} When erasing or writing LPC2000 on-chip flash, the operation fails at random.
5295
5296 Make sure the core frequency specified in the @option{flash lpc2000} line matches the
5297 clock at the time you're programming the flash. If you've specified the crystal's
5298 frequency, make sure the PLL is disabled. If you've specified the full core speed
5299 (e.g. 60MHz), make sure the PLL is enabled.
5300
5301 @item @b{Amontec Chameleon} When debugging using an Amontec Chameleon in its JTAG Accelerator configuration,
5302 I keep getting "Error: amt_jtagaccel.c:184 amt_wait_scan_busy(): amt_jtagaccel timed
5303 out while waiting for end of scan, rtck was disabled".
5304
5305 Make sure your PC's parallel port operates in EPP mode. You might have to try several
5306 settings in your PC BIOS (ECP, EPP, and different versions of those).
5307
5308 @item @b{Data Aborts} When debugging with OpenOCD and GDB (plain GDB, Insight, or Eclipse),
5309 I get lots of "Error: arm7_9_common.c:1771 arm7_9_read_memory():
5310 memory read caused data abort".
5311
5312 The errors are non-fatal, and are the result of GDB trying to trace stack frames
5313 beyond the last valid frame. It might be possible to prevent this by setting up
5314 a proper "initial" stack frame, if you happen to know what exactly has to
5315 be done, feel free to add this here.
5316
5317 @b{Simple:} In your startup code - push 8 registers of zeros onto the
5318 stack before calling main(). What GDB is doing is ``climbing'' the run
5319 time stack by reading various values on the stack using the standard
5320 call frame for the target. GDB keeps going - until one of 2 things
5321 happen @b{#1} an invalid frame is found, or @b{#2} some huge number of
5322 stackframes have been processed. By pushing zeros on the stack, GDB
5323 gracefully stops.
5324
5325 @b{Debugging Interrupt Service Routines} - In your ISR before you call
5326 your C code, do the same - artifically push some zeros onto the stack,
5327 remember to pop them off when the ISR is done.
5328
5329 @b{Also note:} If you have a multi-threaded operating system, they
5330 often do not @b{in the intrest of saving memory} waste these few
5331 bytes. Painful...
5332
5333
5334 @item @b{JTAG Reset Config} I get the following message in the OpenOCD console (or log file):
5335 "Warning: arm7_9_common.c:679 arm7_9_assert_reset(): srst resets test logic, too".
5336
5337 This warning doesn't indicate any serious problem, as long as you don't want to
5338 debug your core right out of reset. Your .cfg file specified @option{jtag_reset
5339 trst_and_srst srst_pulls_trst} to tell OpenOCD that either your board,
5340 your debugger or your target uC (e.g. LPC2000) can't assert the two reset signals
5341 independently. With this setup, it's not possible to halt the core right out of
5342 reset, everything else should work fine.
5343
5344 @item @b{USB Power} When using OpenOCD in conjunction with Amontec JTAGkey and the Yagarto
5345 toolchain (Eclipse, arm-elf-gcc, arm-elf-gdb), the debugging seems to be
5346 unstable. When single-stepping over large blocks of code, GDB and OpenOCD
5347 quit with an error message. Is there a stability issue with OpenOCD?
5348
5349 No, this is not a stability issue concerning OpenOCD. Most users have solved
5350 this issue by simply using a self-powered USB hub, which they connect their
5351 Amontec JTAGkey to. Apparently, some computers do not provide a USB power
5352 supply stable enough for the Amontec JTAGkey to be operated.
5353
5354 @b{Laptops running on battery have this problem too...}
5355
5356 @item @b{USB Power} When using the Amontec JTAGkey, sometimes OpenOCD crashes with the
5357 following error messages: "Error: ft2232.c:201 ft2232_read(): FT_Read returned:
5358 4" and "Error: ft2232.c:365 ft2232_send_and_recv(): couldn't read from FT2232".
5359 What does that mean and what might be the reason for this?
5360
5361 First of all, the reason might be the USB power supply. Try using a self-powered
5362 hub instead of a direct connection to your computer. Secondly, the error code 4
5363 corresponds to an FT_IO_ERROR, which means that the driver for the FTDI USB
5364 chip ran into some sort of error - this points us to a USB problem.
5365
5366 @item @b{GDB Disconnects} When using the Amontec JTAGkey, sometimes OpenOCD crashes with the following
5367 error message: "Error: gdb_server.c:101 gdb_get_char(): read: 10054".
5368 What does that mean and what might be the reason for this?
5369
5370 Error code 10054 corresponds to WSAECONNRESET, which means that the debugger (GDB)
5371 has closed the connection to OpenOCD. This might be a GDB issue.
5372
5373 @item @b{LPC2000 Flash} In the configuration file in the section where flash device configurations
5374 are described, there is a parameter for specifying the clock frequency
5375 for LPC2000 internal flash devices (e.g. @option{flash bank lpc2000
5376 0x0 0x40000 0 0 0 lpc2000_v1 14746 calc_checksum}), which must be
5377 specified in kilohertz. However, I do have a quartz crystal of a
5378 frequency that contains fractions of kilohertz (e.g. 14,745,600 Hz,
5379 i.e. 14,745.600 kHz). Is it possible to specify real numbers for the
5380 clock frequency?
5381
5382 No. The clock frequency specified here must be given as an integral number.
5383 However, this clock frequency is used by the In-Application-Programming (IAP)
5384 routines of the LPC2000 family only, which seems to be very tolerant concerning
5385 the given clock frequency, so a slight difference between the specified clock
5386 frequency and the actual clock frequency will not cause any trouble.
5387
5388 @item @b{Command Order} Do I have to keep a specific order for the commands in the configuration file?
5389
5390 Well, yes and no. Commands can be given in arbitrary order, yet the
5391 devices listed for the JTAG scan chain must be given in the right
5392 order (jtag newdevice), with the device closest to the TDO-Pin being
5393 listed first. In general, whenever objects of the same type exist
5394 which require an index number, then these objects must be given in the
5395 right order (jtag newtap, targets and flash banks - a target
5396 references a jtag newtap and a flash bank references a target).
5397
5398 You can use the ``scan_chain'' command to verify and display the tap order.
5399
5400 Also, some commands can't execute until after @command{init} has been
5401 processed. Such commands include @command{nand probe} and everything
5402 else that needs to write to controller registers, perhaps for setting
5403 up DRAM and loading it with code.
5404
5405 @anchor{FAQ TAP Order}
5406 @item @b{JTAG TAP Order} Do I have to declare the TAPS in some
5407 particular order?
5408
5409 Yes; whenever you have more than one, you must declare them in
5410 the same order used by the hardware.
5411
5412 Many newer devices have multiple JTAG TAPs. For example: ST
5413 Microsystems STM32 chips have two TAPs, a ``boundary scan TAP'' and
5414 ``Cortex-M3'' TAP. Example: The STM32 reference manual, Document ID:
5415 RM0008, Section 26.5, Figure 259, page 651/681, the ``TDI'' pin is
5416 connected to the boundary scan TAP, which then connects to the
5417 Cortex-M3 TAP, which then connects to the TDO pin.
5418
5419 Thus, the proper order for the STM32 chip is: (1) The Cortex-M3, then
5420 (2) The boundary scan TAP. If your board includes an additional JTAG
5421 chip in the scan chain (for example a Xilinx CPLD or FPGA) you could
5422 place it before or after the STM32 chip in the chain. For example:
5423
5424 @itemize @bullet
5425 @item OpenOCD_TDI(output) -> STM32 TDI Pin (BS Input)
5426 @item STM32 BS TDO (output) -> STM32 Cortex-M3 TDI (input)
5427 @item STM32 Cortex-M3 TDO (output) -> SM32 TDO Pin
5428 @item STM32 TDO Pin (output) -> Xilinx TDI Pin (input)
5429 @item Xilinx TDO Pin -> OpenOCD TDO (input)
5430 @end itemize
5431
5432 The ``jtag device'' commands would thus be in the order shown below. Note:
5433
5434 @itemize @bullet
5435 @item jtag newtap Xilinx tap -irlen ...
5436 @item jtag newtap stm32 cpu -irlen ...

5507 The two key items here are how ``quoted things'' work in Tcl. Tcl has
5508 three primary quoting constructs, the [square-brackets] the
5509 @{curly-braces@} and ``double-quotes''
5510
5511 By now you should know $VARIABLES always start with a $DOLLAR
5512 sign. BTW: To set a variable, you actually use the command ``set'', as
5513 in ``set VARNAME VALUE'' much like the ancient BASIC langauge ``let x
5514 = 1'' statement, but without the equal sign.
5515
5516 @itemize @bullet
5517 @item @b{[square-brackets]}
5518 @* @b{[square-brackets]} are command substitutions. It operates much
5519 like Unix Shell `back-ticks`. The result of a [square-bracket]
5520 operation is exactly 1 string. @i{Remember Rule #1 - Everything is a
5521 string}. These two statements are roughly identical:
5522 @example
5523 # bash example
5524 X=`date`
5525 echo "The Date is: $X"
5526 # Tcl example
5527 set X [date]
5528 puts "The Date is: $X"
5529 @end example
5530 @item @b{``double-quoted-things''}
5531 @* @b{``double-quoted-things''} are just simply quoted
5532 text. $VARIABLES and [square-brackets] are expanded in place - the
5533 result however is exactly 1 string. @i{Remember Rule #1 - Everything
5534 is a string}
5535 @example
5536 set x "Dinner"
5537 puts "It is now \"[date]\", $x is in 1 hour"
5538 @end example
5539 @item @b{@{Curly-Braces@}}
5540 @*@b{@{Curly-Braces@}} are magic: $VARIABLES and [square-brackets] are
5541 parsed, but are NOT expanded or executed. @{Curly-Braces@} are like
5542 'single-quote' operators in BASH shell scripts, with the added
5543 feature: @{curly-braces@} can be nested, single quotes can not. @{@{@{this is
5544 nested 3 times@}@}@} NOTE: [date] is perhaps a bad example, as of
5545 28/nov/2008, Jim/OpenOCD does not have a date command.
5546 @end itemize
5547
5548 @section Consequences of Rule 1/2/3/4
5549
5550 The consequences of Rule 1 are profound.
5551
5552 @subsection Tokenisation & Execution.
5553
5554 Of course, whitespace, blank lines and #comment lines are handled in
5555 the normal way.
5556
5557 As a script is parsed, each (multi) line in the script file is
5558 tokenised and according to the quoting rules. After tokenisation, that
5559 line is immedatly executed.
5560
5561 Multi line statements end with one or more ``still-open''
5562 @{curly-braces@} which - eventually - closes a few lines later.
5563
5564 @subsection Command Execution
5565
5566 Remember earlier: There are no ``control flow''
5567 statements in Tcl. Instead there are COMMANDS that simply act like
5568 control flow operators.
5569
5570 Commands are executed like this:
5571
5572 @enumerate
5573 @item Parse the next line into (argc) and (argv[]).
5574 @item Look up (argv[0]) in a table and call its function.
5575 @item Repeat until End Of File.
5576 @end enumerate
5577
5578 It sort of works like this:
5579 @example
5580 for(;;)@{
5581 ReadAndParse( &argc, &argv );
5582
5583 cmdPtr = LookupCommand( argv[0] );
5584
5585 (*cmdPtr->Execute)( argc, argv );
5586 @}
5587 @end example
5588
5589 When the command ``proc'' is parsed (which creates a procedure
5590 function) it gets 3 parameters on the command line. @b{1} the name of
5591 the proc (function), @b{2} the list of parameters, and @b{3} the body
5592 of the function. Not the choice of words: LIST and BODY. The PROC
5593 command stores these items in a table somewhere so it can be found by
5594 ``LookupCommand()''
5595
5596 @subsection The FOR command
5597
5598 The most interesting command to look at is the FOR command. In Tcl,
5599 the FOR command is normally implemented in C. Remember, FOR is a
5600 command just like any other command.
5601
5602 When the ascii text containing the FOR command is parsed, the parser
5603 produces 5 parameter strings, @i{(If in doubt: Refer to Rule #1)} they
5604 are:
5605
5606 @enumerate 0
5607 @item The ascii text 'for'
5608 @item The start text
5609 @item The test expression
5610 @item The next text
5611 @item The body text
5612 @end enumerate
5613
5614 Sort of reminds you of ``main( int argc, char **argv )'' does it not?
5615 Remember @i{Rule #1 - Everything is a string.} The key point is this:
5616 Often many of those parameters are in @{curly-braces@} - thus the
5617 variables inside are not expanded or replaced until later.
5618
5619 Remember that every Tcl command looks like the classic ``main( argc,
5620 argv )'' function in C. In JimTCL - they actually look like this:
5621
5622 @example
5623 int
5624 MyCommand( Jim_Interp *interp,
5625 int *argc,
5626 Jim_Obj * const *argvs );
5627 @end example
5628
5629 Real Tcl is nearly identical. Although the newer versions have
5630 introduced a byte-code parser and intepreter, but at the core, it
5631 still operates in the same basic way.
5632
5633 @subsection FOR command implementation
5634
5635 To understand Tcl it is perhaps most helpful to see the FOR
5636 command. Remember, it is a COMMAND not a control flow structure.
5637
5638 In Tcl there are two underlying C helper functions.
5639
5640 Remember Rule #1 - You are a string.
5641
5642 The @b{first} helper parses and executes commands found in an ascii
5643 string. Commands can be seperated by semicolons, or newlines. While
5644 parsing, variables are expanded via the quoting rules.
5645
5646 The @b{second} helper evaluates an ascii string as a numerical
5647 expression and returns a value.
5648
5649 Here is an example of how the @b{FOR} command could be
5650 implemented. The pseudo code below does not show error handling.
5651 @example
5652 void Execute_AsciiString( void *interp, const char *string );
5653
5654 int Evaluate_AsciiExpression( void *interp, const char *string );
5655
5656 int
5657 MyForCommand( void *interp,
5658 int argc,
5659 char **argv )
5660 @{
5661 if( argc != 5 )@{
5662 SetResult( interp, "WRONG number of parameters");
5663 return ERROR;
5664 @}
5665
5666 // argv[0] = the ascii string just like C
5667
5668 // Execute the start statement.
5669 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[1] );
5670
5671 // Top of loop test
5672 for(;;)@{
5673 i = Evaluate_AsciiExpression(interp, argv[2]);
5674 if( i == 0 )
5675 break;
5676
5677 // Execute the body
5678 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[3] );
5679
5680 // Execute the LOOP part
5681 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[4] );
5682 @}
5683
5684 // Return no error
5685 SetResult( interp, "" );
5686 return SUCCESS;
5687 @}
5688 @end example
5689
5690 Every other command IF, WHILE, FORMAT, PUTS, EXPR, everything works
5691 in the same basic way.
5692
5693 @section OpenOCD Tcl Usage
5694
5695 @subsection source and find commands
5696 @b{Where:} In many configuration files
5697 @* Example: @b{ source [find FILENAME] }
5698 @*Remember the parsing rules
5699 @enumerate
5700 @item The FIND command is in square brackets.
5701 @* The FIND command is executed with the parameter FILENAME. It should
5702 find the full path to the named file. The RESULT is a string, which is
5703 substituted on the orginal command line.
5704 @item The command source is executed with the resulting filename.
5705 @* SOURCE reads a file and executes as a script.
5706 @end enumerate
5707 @subsection format command
5708 @b{Where:} Generally occurs in numerous places.
5709 @* Tcl has no command like @b{printf()}, instead it has @b{format}, which is really more like
5710 @b{sprintf()}.
5711 @b{Example}
5712 @example
5713 set x 6
5714 set y 7
5715 puts [format "The answer: %d" [expr $x * $y]]
5716 @end example
5717 @enumerate
5718 @item The SET command creates 2 variables, X and Y.
5719 @item The double [nested] EXPR command performs math
5720 @* The EXPR command produces numerical result as a string.
5721 @* Refer to Rule #1
5722 @item The format command is executed, producing a single string
5723 @* Refer to Rule #1.
5724 @item The PUTS command outputs the text.
5725 @end enumerate
5726 @subsection Body or Inlined Text
5727 @b{Where:} Various TARGET scripts.
5728 @example
5729 #1 Good
5730 proc someproc @{@} @{
5731 ... multiple lines of stuff ...
5732 @}
5733 $_TARGETNAME configure -event FOO someproc
5734 #2 Good - no variables
5735 $_TARGETNAME confgure -event foo "this ; that;"
5736 #3 Good Curly Braces
5737 $_TARGETNAME configure -event FOO @{
5738 puts "Time: [date]"
5739 @}
5740 #4 DANGER DANGER DANGER
5741 $_TARGETNAME configure -event foo "puts \"Time: [date]\""
5742 @end example
5743 @enumerate
5744 @item The $_TARGETNAME is an OpenOCD variable convention.
5745 @*@b{$_TARGETNAME} represents the last target created, the value changes
5746 each time a new target is created. Remember the parsing rules. When
5747 the ascii text is parsed, the @b{$_TARGETNAME} becomes a simple string,
5748 the name of the target which happens to be a TARGET (object)
5749 command.
5750 @item The 2nd parameter to the @option{-event} parameter is a TCBODY
5751 @*There are 4 examples:
5752 @enumerate
5753 @item The TCLBODY is a simple string that happens to be a proc name
5754 @item The TCLBODY is several simple commands seperated by semicolons
5755 @item The TCLBODY is a multi-line @{curly-brace@} quoted string
5756 @item The TCLBODY is a string with variables that get expanded.
5757 @end enumerate
5758
5759 In the end, when the target event FOO occurs the TCLBODY is
5760 evaluated. Method @b{#1} and @b{#2} are functionally identical. For
5761 Method @b{#3} and @b{#4} it is more interesting. What is the TCLBODY?
5762
5763 Remember the parsing rules. In case #3, @{curly-braces@} mean the
5764 $VARS and [square-brackets] are expanded later, when the EVENT occurs,
5765 and the text is evaluated. In case #4, they are replaced before the
5766 ``Target Object Command'' is executed. This occurs at the same time
5767 $_TARGETNAME is replaced. In case #4 the date will never
5768 change. @{BTW: [date] is perhaps a bad example, as of 28/nov/2008,
5769 Jim/OpenOCD does not have a date command@}
5770 @end enumerate
5771 @subsection Global Variables
5772 @b{Where:} You might discover this when writing your own procs @* In
5773 simple terms: Inside a PROC, if you need to access a global variable
5774 you must say so. See also ``upvar''. Example:
5775 @example
5776 proc myproc @{ @} @{
5777 set y 0 #Local variable Y
5778 global x #Global variable X
5779 puts [format "X=%d, Y=%d" $x $y]
5780 @}
5781 @end example
5782 @section Other Tcl Hacks
5783 @b{Dynamic variable creation}
5784 @example
5785 # Dynamically create a bunch of variables.
5786 for @{ set x 0 @} @{ $x < 32 @} @{ set x [expr $x + 1]@} @{
5787 # Create var name
5788 set vn [format "BIT%d" $x]
5789 # Make it a global
5790 global $vn
5791 # Set it.
5792 set $vn [expr (1 << $x)]
5793 @}
5794 @end example
5795 @b{Dynamic proc/command creation}
5796 @example
5797 # One "X" function - 5 uart functions.
5798 foreach who @{A B C D E@}
5799 proc [format "show_uart%c" $who] @{ @} "show_UARTx $who"
5800 @}

5803 @node Target Library
5804 @chapter Target Library
5805 @cindex Target Library
5806
5807 OpenOCD comes with a target configuration script library. These scripts can be
5808 used as-is or serve as a starting point.
5809
5810 The target library is published together with the OpenOCD executable and
5811 the path to the target library is in the OpenOCD script search path.
5812 Similarly there are example scripts for configuring the JTAG interface.
5813
5814 The command line below uses the example parport configuration script
5815 that ship with OpenOCD, then configures the str710.cfg target and
5816 finally issues the init and reset commands. The communication speed
5817 is set to 10kHz for reset and 8MHz for post reset.
5818
5819 @example
5820 openocd -f interface/parport.cfg -f target/str710.cfg \
5821 -c "init" -c "reset"
5822 @end example
5823
5824 To list the target scripts available:
5825
5826 @example
5827 $ ls /usr/local/lib/openocd/target
5828
5829 arm7_fast.cfg lm3s6965.cfg pxa255.cfg stm32.cfg xba_revA3.cfg
