@node About
@unnumbered About
@cindex about

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

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

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

@node Developers
@chapter Developers
@cindex developers

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

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

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

@node Building
@chapter Building
@cindex building OpenOCD

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


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

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

or

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

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

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

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

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

libftdi is supported under windows. Versions earlier than 0.13 will require patching.
see contrib/libftdi for more details.

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

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

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

@itemize @bullet
@item
@option{--enable-parport}
@item
@option{--enable-parport_ppdev}
@item
@option{--enable-parport_giveio}
@item
@option{--enable-amtjtagaccel}
@item
@option{--enable-ft2232_ftd2xx}
@footnote{Using the latest D2XX drivers from FTDI and following their installation
instructions, I had to use @option{--enable-ft2232_libftd2xx} for OpenOCD to
build properly.}
@item
@option{--enable-ft2232_libftdi}
@item
@option{--with-ftd2xx=/path/to/d2xx/}
@item
@option{--enable-gw16012}
@item
@option{--enable-usbprog}
@item
@option{--enable-presto_libftdi}
@item
@option{--enable-presto_ftd2xx}
@item
@option{--enable-jlink}
@end itemize

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

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

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

Miscellaneous configure options

@itemize @bullet
@item
@option{--enable-gccwarnings} - enable extra gcc warnings during build

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

It reads its configuration by default from the file openocd.cfg located in the current
working directory. This may be overwritten with the @option{-f <configfile>} command line
switch.  The @option{-f} command line switch can be specified multiple times, in which case the config files
are executed in order. 

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

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

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

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

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

@node Configuration
@chapter Configuration
@cindex configuration
OpenOCD runs as a daemon, and reads it current configuration
by default from the file openocd.cfg in the current directory. A different configuration
file can be specified with the  @option{-f <conf.file>} command line switch specified when starting OpenOCD.

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

@section Daemon configuration

@itemize @bullet
@item @b{init}
@*This command terminates the configuration stage and enters the normal
command mode. This can be useful to add commands to the startup scripts and commands
such as resetting the target, programming flash, etc. To reset the CPU upon startup,
add "init" and "reset" at the end of the config script or at the end of the
OpenOCD command line using the @option{-c} command line switch.
@cindex init
@item @b{telnet_port} <@var{number}>
@cindex telnet_port
@*Port on which to listen for incoming telnet connections 
@item @b{tcl_port} <@var{number}>
@cindex tcl_port
@*Port on which to listen for incoming TCL syntax. This port is intended as
a simplified RPC connection that can be used by clients to issue commands
and get the output from the TCL engine.
@item @b{gdb_port} <@var{number}>
@cindex gdb_port
@*First port on which to listen for incoming GDB connections. The GDB port for the
first target will be gdb_port, the second target will listen on gdb_port + 1, and so on. 
@item @b{gdb_breakpoint_override} <@var{hard|soft|disabled}>
@cindex gdb_breakpoint_override
@anchor{gdb_breakpoint_override}
@*Force breakpoint type for gdb 'break' commands.
The raison d'etre for this option is to support GDB GUI's without 
a hard/soft breakpoint concept where the default OpenOCD and
GDB behaviour is not sufficient. Note that GDB will use hardware
breakpoints if the memory map has been set up for flash regions.

This option replaces older arm7_9 target commands that addressed
the same issue.
@item @b{gdb_detach} <@var{resume|reset|halt|nothing}>
@cindex gdb_detach
@*Configures what OpenOCD will do when gdb detaches from the daeman.
Default behaviour is <@var{resume}>
@item @b{gdb_memory_map} <@var{enable|disable}>
@cindex gdb_memory_map
@*Set to <@var{enable}> to cause OpenOCD to send the memory configuration to gdb when
requested. gdb will then know when to set hardware breakpoints, and program flash
using the gdb load command. @option{gdb_flash_program enable} will also need enabling
for flash programming to work.
Default behaviour is <@var{enable}>
@xref{gdb_flash_program}.
@item @b{gdb_flash_program} <@var{enable|disable}>
@cindex gdb_flash_program
@anchor{gdb_flash_program}
@*Set to <@var{enable}> to cause OpenOCD to program the flash memory when a
vFlash packet is received.
Default behaviour is <@var{enable}>

@item @b{interface} <@var{name}>
@cindex interface
@*Use the interface driver <@var{name}> to connect to the target. Currently supported

@end itemize

@itemize @bullet
@item @b{jtag_speed} <@var{reset speed}>
@cindex jtag_speed
@*Limit the maximum speed of the JTAG interface. Usually, a value of zero means maximum
speed. The actual effect of this option depends on the JTAG interface used. 

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

@item wiggler: maximum speed / @var{number}
@item ft2232: 6MHz / (@var{number}+1)
@item amt jtagaccel: 8 / 2**@var{number}
@item jlink: maximum speed in kHz (0-12000), 0 will use RTCK
@end itemize

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

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

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

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

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

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

@item @b{jtag_nsrst_delay} <@var{ms}>
@cindex jtag_nsrst_delay
@*How long (in milliseconds) OpenOCD should wait after deasserting nSRST before
starting new JTAG operations. 
@item @b{jtag_ntrst_delay} <@var{ms}>
@cindex jtag_ntrst_delay
@*Same @b{jtag_nsrst_delay}, but for nTRST  

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

@section parport options

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

When using PPDEV to access the parallel port, use the number of the parallel port:
@option{parport_port 0} (the default). If @option{parport_port 0x378} is specified
you may encounter a problem.
@item @b{parport_cable} <@var{name}>
@cindex parport_cable
@*The layout of the parallel port cable used to connect to the target.
Currently supported cables are 
@itemize @minus
@item @b{wiggler}
@cindex wiggler

@item @b{ft2232_latency} <@var{ms}>
@*On some systems using ft2232 based JTAG interfaces the FT_Read function call in
ft2232_read() fails to return the expected number of bytes. This can be caused by
USB communication delays and has proved hard to reproduce and debug. Setting the
FT2232 latency timer to a larger value increases delays for short USB packages but it
also reduces the risk of timeouts before receiving the expected number of bytes.
The OpenOCD default value is 2 and for some systems a value of 10 has proved useful.

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

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

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

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

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


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


To list the target scripts available:

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

arm7_fast.cfg    lm3s6965.cfg  pxa255.cfg      stm32.cfg   xba_revA3.cfg

@node Commands
@chapter Commands
@cindex commands

OpenOCD allows user interaction through a GDB server (default: port 3333),
a telnet interface (default: port 4444), and a TCL interface (default: port 5555). The command line interpreter
is available from both the telnet interface and a GDB session. To issue commands to the
interpreter from within a GDB session, use the @option{monitor} command, e.g. use
@option{monitor poll} to issue the @option{poll} command. All output is relayed through the
GDB session.

The TCL interface is used as a simplified RPC mechanism that feeds all the
input into the TCL interpreter and returns the output from the evaluation of
the commands.

@section Daemon

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

@item @b{log_output} <@var{file}>

No arguments: list all available registers for the current target.
Number or name argument: display a register
Number or name and value arguments: set register value

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

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

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

@item @b{resume} [@var{address}]

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

@section Target Commands
@cindex Target Commands

@subsection Overview
@cindex Overview
Pre "TCL" - many commands in OpenOCD where implemented as C functions. Post "TCL" 
(Jim-Tcl to be more exact, June 2008) TCL became a bigger part of OpenOCD.

One of the biggest changes is the introduction of 'target specific'
commands. When every time you create a target, a special command name is
created specifically for that target.
For example - in TCL/TK - if you create a button (or any other screen object) you 
can specify various "button configuration parameters". One of those parameters is 
the "object cmd/name" [ In TK - this is referred to as the object path ]. Later 
you	can use that 'path' as a command to modify the button, for example to make it 
"grey", or change the color. In effect, the "path" function is an 'object 
oriented command'. The TCL change in OpenOCD follows the same principle, you create 
a target, and a specific "targetname" command is created.

There are two methods of creating a target:

@enumerate
@item
Using the old syntax (deprecated). Target names are autogenerated as: 
  "target0", "target1", etc.;
@cindex old syntax
@item
Using the new syntax, you can specify the name of the target.
@cindex new syntax
@end enumerate

As most users will have a single JTAG target, and by default the command name will 
probably default to "target0", thus for reasons of simplicity the instructions below 
use the name "target0".

@subsection Commands
@cindex Commands
OpenOCD has the following 'target' or 'target-like' commands:

@enumerate
@item
@b{targets (plural)} - lists all known targets and a little bit of information about each 
	target, most importantly the target *COMMAND*NAME* (it also lists the target number);
@cindex targets
@item
@b{target (singular)} - used to create, configure list, etc the targets;
@cindex target
@item
@b{target0} - the command object for the first target. Unless you specified another name.
@cindex target0
@end enumerate

@subsubsection Targets Command
@cindex Targets Command
The "targets" command has 2 functions:

@itemize
@item
With a parameter, you can change the current command line target.

NOTE: "with a parameter" is really only useful with 'multiple JTAG targets' not something 
you normally encounter (ie: If you had 2 arm chips - sharing the same JTAG chain).
@verbatim
# using a target name.
(gdb) mon targets target0
# or a target by number.
(gdb) mon targets 3
@end verbatim
@cindex with a parameter
@item
Plain, without any parameter lists targets, for example:

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

This shows:
@enumerate a
@item
in this example, a single target;
@item
target number 0 (1st column);
@item
the 'object name' is target0 (the default name);
@item
it is an arm7tdmi;
@item
little endian;
@item
the position in the JTAG chain;
@item 
and is currently halted.
@end enumerate
@cindex without any parameter
@end itemize

@subsubsection Target Command
@cindex Target Command

The "target" command has the following options:
@itemize
@item
target create

@verbatim
	target create CMDNAME TYPE  ... config options ...
		argv[0] = 'target'
		argv[1] = 'create'
		argv[2] = the 'object command'
	               (normally, target0, see (3) above)
		argv[3] = the target type, ie: arm7tdmi
		argv[4..N] = configuration parameters
@end verbatim
@item
target types

  	Lists all supported target types; ie: arm7tdmi, xscale, fericon, cortex-m3.
	The result TCL list of all known target types (and is human readable).
@item
target names

	Returns a TCL list of all known target commands (and is human readable).

	Example:
@verbatim  
	foreach t [target names] {
	    puts [format "Target: %s\n" $t]
	}
@end verbatim
@item   
target current

    Returns the TCL command name of the current target.

	Example:
@verbatim 
	set ct [target current]
	set t  [$ct cget -type]
		
	puts "Current target name is: $ct, and is a: $t"
@end verbatim
@item
target number <VALUE>

 	Returns the TCL command name of the specified target.
	   
	Example 
@verbatim
    set thename [target number $x]
    puts [format "Target %d is: %s\n" $x $thename]
@end verbatim
	For instance, assuming the defaults
@verbatim
    target number 0
@end verbatim
	Would return 'target0' (or whatever you called it)
@item
target count

 	Returns the larget+1 target number.
	
	Example:
@verbatim
    set c [target count]
    for { set x 0 } { $x < $c } { incr x } {
       	# Assuming you have this function..
       	print_target_details $x
    }
@end verbatim
@end itemize

@subsubsection Target0 Command
@cindex Target0 Command
The "target0" command (the "Target Object" command):

Once a target is 'created' a command object by that targets name is created, for example
@verbatim
	target create BiGRed arm7tdmi -endian little -chain-position 3
@end verbatim

Would create a [case sensitive] "command" BiGRed

If you use the old [deprecated] syntax, the name is automatically
generated and is in the form:
@verbatim
	target0, target1, target2, target3, ... etc.
@end verbatim

@subsubsection Target CREATE, CONFIGURE and CGET Options Command
@cindex Target CREATE, CONFIGURE and CGET Options Command
The commands:
@verbatim
    target create CMDNAME TYPE  [configure-options]	
    CMDNAME configure [configure-options]
    CMDNAME cget      [configure-options]
@end verbatim
@itemize
@item
In the 'create' case, one is creating the target and can specify any
number of configuration parameters.
@item
In the 'CMDNAME configure' case, one can change the setting [Not all things can, or should be changed].
@item
In the 'CMDNAME cget' case, the goal is to query the target for a
specific configuration option.
@end itemize

In the above, the "default" name target0 is 'target0'.

	Example:

		From the (gdb) prompt, one can type this:

@verbatim
	(gdb) mon target0 configure -endian big
@end verbatim

		And change target0 to 'big-endian'.  This is a contrived example,
		specifically for this document - don't expect changing endian
		'mid-operation' to work you should set the endian at creation.

Known options [30/august/2008] are:
@itemize
@item
[Mandatory 'create' Options]
	@itemize
	@item
    type arm7tdmi|arm720|etc ...
	@item
    chain-position NUMBER
	@item
    endian ENDIAN
	@end itemize
@item
Optional
	@itemize
	@item
    event EVENTNAME  "tcl-action"
	@item
    reset RESETACTION
	@item
    work-area-virt ADDR
	@item
    work-area-phys ADDR
	@item
    work-area-size ADDR
	@item
    work-area-backup BOOLEAN
	@end itemize
@end itemize
Hint: To get a list of available options, try this:
@verbatim
	(gdb) mon target0 cget -BLAHBLAHBLAH
@end verbatim

    the above causes an error - and a helpful list of valid options.
	
One can query any of the above options at run time, for example:
@verbatim
 (gdb) mon target0 cget -OPTION [param]
@end verbatim

Example TCL script

@verbatim
    # For all targets...
    set c [target count]
    for { set x 0 } { $x < $c } { incr x ] {
      set n [target number $x]
      set t [$n cget -type]
      set e [$n cget -endian]
      puts [format "%d: %s, %s, endian: %s\n" $x $n $t $n]
   }
@end verbatim

Might produce:

@verbatim
    0: pic32chip, mips_m4k, endain: little
    1: arm7, arm7tdmi, endian: big
    2: blackfin, bf534, endian: little
@end verbatim

Notice the above example is not target0, target1, target2 Why? Because in this contrived multi-target example - 
more human understandable target names might be helpful.

For example these two are the same:

@verbatim
   (gdb) mon blackfin configure -event FOO {puts "Hi mom"}
@end verbatim

or:

@verbatim
   (gdb) mon [target number 2] configure -event FOO {puts "Hi mom"}
@end verbatim
   
In the second case, we use [] to get the command name of target #2, in this contrived example - it is "blackfin".

Two important configuration options are:

    "-event" and "-reset"

The "-reset" option specifies what should happen when the chip is reset, for example should it 'halt', 're-init', 
or what.

The "-event" option less you specify a TCL command to occur when a specific event occurs.

@subsection Target Events
@cindex Target Events

@subsubsection Overview
@cindex Overview
At various points in time - certain 'target' events happen.  You can create a custom event action to occur at that time.
For example - after reset, the PLLs and CLOCKs may need to be reconfigured, or perhaps the SDRAM needs to be re-initialized.
Often the easiest way to do that is to create a simple script file containing the series of (mww [poke memory]) commands 
you would type by hand, to reconfigure the target clocks. You could specify the "event action" like this:

@verbatim
   (gdb) mon target0 configure -event reset-init "script cfg.clocks"
@end verbatim

In the above example, when the event "reset-init" occurs, the "action-string" will be evaluated as if you typed it at the 
console:
@itemize
@item @b{Option1} - The simple approach (above) is to create a script file with lots of "mww" (memory write word) commands 
	to configure your targets clocks and/or external memory;
@item @b{Option2} -	You can instead create a fancy TCL procedure and invoke that procedure instead of sourcing a file [In fact, 
	"script" is a TCL procedure that loads a file].
@end itemize

@subsubsection Details
@cindex Details
There are many events one could use, to get a current list of events type the following invalid command, you'll get a helpful 
"runtime error" message, see below [list valid as of 30/august/2008]:

@verbatim
(gdb) mon target0 cget -event FAFA
Runtime error, file "../../../openocd23/src/helper/command.c", line 433:
	-event: Unknown: FAFA, try one of: old-pre_reset, 
	old-gdb_program_config, old-post_reset, halted, 
	resumed, resume-start, resume-end, reset-start, 
	reset-assert-pre, reset-assert-post, 
	reset-deassert-pre, reset-deassert-post, 
	reset-halt-pre, reset-halt-post, reset-wait-pre, 
	reset-wait-post, reset-init, reset-end, 
	examine-start, examine-end, debug-halted, 
	debug-resumed, gdb-attach, gdb-detach, 
	gdb-flash-write-start, gdb-flash-write-end, 
	gdb-flash-erase-start, gdb-flash-erase-end, 
	resume-start, resume-ok, or resume-end
@end verbatim

NOTE: The event-names "old-*" are deprecated and exist only to help old scripts continue to function, and the old "target_script" 
command to work. Please do not rely on them.

These are some other important names:
@itemize
@item gdb-flash-erase-start
@item gdb-flash-erase-end
@item gdb-flash-write-start
@item gdb-flash-write-end
@end itemize

These occur when GDB/OpenOCD attempts to erase & program the FLASH chip via GDB. For example - some PCBs may have a simple GPIO 
pin that acts like a "flash write protect" you might need to write a script that disables "write protect".

To get a list of current 'event actions', type the following command:

@verbatim
   (gdb) mon target0 eventlist

    Event actions for target (0) target0

    Event                     | Body
    ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------
    old-post_reset            | script event/sam7x256_reset.script    
@end verbatim

Here is a simple example for all targets:

@verbatim
   (gdb)  mon foreach x [target names] { $x eventlist }
@end verbatim

The above uses some TCL tricks:
@enumerate a
@item foreach VARIABLE  LIST  BODY
@item to generate the list, we use [target names]
@item the BODY, contains $x - the loop variable and expands to the target specific name
@end enumerate

Recalling the earlier discussion - the "object command" there are other things you can 
do besides "configure" the target.

Note: Many of these commands exist as "global" commands, and they also exist as target 
specific commands. For example, the "mww" (memory write word) operates on the current 
target if you have more then 1 target, you must switch. In contrast to the normal 
commands, these commands operate on the specific target. For example, the command "mww" 
writes data to the *current* command line target. 

Often, you have only a single target - but if you have multiple targets (ie: a PIC32 
and an at91sam7 - your reset-init scripts might get a bit more complicated, ie: you must 
specify which of the two chips you want to write to. Writing 'pic32' clock configuration 
to an at91sam7 does not work).

The commands are [as of 30/august/2008]:
@verbatim
    TNAME  mww ADDRESS VALUE
    TNAME  mwh ADDRESS VALUE
    TNAME  mwb ADDRESS VALUE
    	   Write(poke): 32, 16, 8bit values to memory.

    TNAME  mdw ADDRESS VALUE
    TNAME  mdh ADDRESS VALUE
    TNAME  mdb ADDRESS VALUE
    	   Human 'hexdump' with ascii 32, 16, 8bit values

    TNAME  mem2array  [see mem2array command]
    TNAME  array2mem  [see array2mem command]

    TNAME  curstate
    	   Returns the current state of the target.

    TNAME  examine
    	   See 'advanced target reset'

The flash configuration is deduced from the chip identification register. The flash
controller handles erases automatically on a page (128/265 byte) basis so erase is
not necessary for flash programming. AT91SAM7 processors with less than 512K flash
only have a single flash bank embedded on chip. AT91SAM7xx512 have two flash planes
that can be erased separatly. Only an EraseAll command is supported by the controller
for each flash plane and this is called with

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

@section Programming using gdb
@cindex Programming using gdb

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

@node TCL and OpenOCD
@chapter TCL and OpenOCD
@cindex TCL and OpenOCD
OpenOCD embeds a TCL interpreter (see JIM) for command parsing and scripting
support.

The TCL interpreter can be invoked from the interactive command line, files, and a network port.

The command and file interfaces are fairly straightforward, while the network
port is geared toward intergration with external clients. A small example
of an external TCL script that can connect to openocd is shown below.

@verbatim
# Simple tcl client to connect to openocd
puts "Use empty line to exit"
set fo [socket 127.0.0.1 6666]
puts -nonewline stdout "> "
flush stdout
while {[gets stdin line] >= 0} {
    if {$line eq {}} break
    puts $fo $line
    flush $fo
    gets $fo line
    puts $line
    puts -nonewline stdout "> "
    flush stdout
}
close $fo
@end verbatim

This script can easily be modified to front various GUIs or be a sub
component of a larger framework for control and interaction.


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

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

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

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

@verbatim

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

If one does this:

 >  set foo

The result is:

    me Duane you Oyvind mouse Micky duck Donald

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

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

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

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

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

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

Return information about the flash banks
@end itemize

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

@*use @option{flash write_image} command passing @option{erase} as the first parameter. @xref{flash write_image}.
@item @b{daemon_startup}
@cindex daemon_startup
@*this config option has been removed, simply adding @option{init} and @option{reset halt} to
the end of your config script will give the same behaviour as using @option{daemon_startup reset}
and @option{target cortex_m3 little reset_halt 0}.
@item @b{arm7_9 sw_bkpts}
@cindex arm7_9 sw_bkpts
@*On by default. See also @option{gdb_breakpoint_override}. @xref{gdb_breakpoint_override}.
@item @b{arm7_9 force_hw_bkpts}
@cindex arm7_9 force_hw_bkpts
@*Use @option{gdb_breakpoint_override} instead. Note that GDB will use hardware breakpoints
for flash if the gdb memory map has been set up(default when flash is declared in
target configuration). @xref{gdb_breakpoint_override}.
@item @b{run_and_halt_time}
@cindex run_and_halt_time
@*This command has been removed for simpler reset behaviour, it can be simulated with the
following commands:
@smallexample

@enumerate
@item OpenOCD complains about a missing cygwin1.dll.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TODO.
