+This file includes highlights of the changes made in the
+OpenOCD 0.5.0 source archive release. See the repository
+history for details about what changed, including bugfixes
+and other issues not mentioned here.
JTAG Layer:
- FT2232H (high speed USB) support doesn't need separate configuration
- New reset_config options for SRST gating the JTAG clock (or not)
- TAP declaration no longer requires ircapture and mask attributes
- New "post-reset" event handler for TAP-invariant setup code
+ New driver for "Bus Pirate"
+ Rename various commands so they're not JTAG-specific
+ There are migration procedures for most of these, but you should
+ convert your scripts to the new names, since those procedures
+ will not be around forever.
+ jtag jinterface ... is now adapter_name
+ jtag_khz ... is now adapter_khz
+ jtag_nsrst_delay ... is now adapter_nsrst_delay
+ jtag_nsrst_assert_width ... is now adapter_nsrst_assert_width
+ Support Voipac VPACLink JTAG Adapter.
+
+Boundary Scan:
+
+Transport framework core ... supporting future work for SWD, SPI, and other
+non-JTAG ways to debug targets or program flash.
Target Layer:
- New commands for use with Cortex-M3 processors:
- "cortex_m3 disassemble" ... Thumb2 disassembly (UAL format)
- "cortex_m3 vector_catch" ... traps certain hardware faults
- without tying up breakpoint resources
- If you're willing to help debug it
- VERY EARLY Cortex-A8 and ARMv7A support
- Updated BeagleBoard.org hardware support
- New commands for use with XScale processors: "xscale vector_table"
- ARM11
- single stepping support for i.MX31
- bugfix for missing "arm11" prefix on "arm11 memwrite ..."
- ETM support
- Unavailable registers are not listed
+ ARM:
+ - basic semihosting support for ARMv7M.
+ - renamed "armv7m" command prefix as "arm"
+ MIPS:
+ - "ejtag_srst" variant removed. The same functionality is
+ obtained by using "reset_config none".
+ - added PIC32MX software reset support, this means srst is not
+ required to be connected anymore.
+ OTHER:
+ - preliminary AVR32 AP7000 support.
Flash Layer:
- The lpc2000 driver handles the new NXP LPC1700 (Cortex-M3) chips
- New lpc2900 driver for NXP LPC2900 chips (ARM968 based)
- New "last" flag for NOR "flash erase_sector" and "flash protect"
- The "nand erase N" command now erases all of bank N
+ New "stellaris recover" command, implements the procedure
+ to recover locked devices (restoring non-volatile
+ state to the factory defaults, including erasing
+ the flash and its protection bits, and possibly
+ re-enabling hardware debugging).
+ PIC32MX now uses algorithm for flash programming, this
+ has increased the performance by approx 96%.
+ New 'pic32mx unlock' cmd to remove readout protection.
+ New STM32 Value Line Support.
+ New 'virtual' flash driver, used to associate other addresses
+ with a flash bank. See pic32mx.cfg for usage.
+ New iMX27 NAND flash controller driver.
Board, Target, and Interface Configuration Scripts:
- Amontec JTAGkey2 support
- Cleanup and additions for the TI/Luminary Stellaris scripts
- LPC1768 target (and flash) support
- Keil MCB1700 eval board
- Samsung s3c2450
- Mini2440 board
- Numeric TAP and Target identifiers now trigger warnings
+ Support IAR LPC1768 kickstart board (by Olimex)
+ Support Voipac PXA270/PXA270M module.
+ New $PARPORTADDR tcl variable used to change default
+ parallel port address used.
+ Remove lm3s811.cfg; use "stellaris.cfg" instead
+
+Core Jim/TCL Scripting:
+ New "add_script_search_dir" command, behaviour is the same
+ as the "-s" cmd line option.
