Plan for hosted scripting support in OpenOCD
|

============================================
|
||||
Jim Tcl support in OpenOCD currently exists as a patch.
|
||||
|
||||
There has been some discussion on the list as to what
|
||||
purpose scripting support might serve in OpenOCD.
|
||||
|
||||
Also Lua was proposed as a scripting language, but
|
||||
only Jim Tcl has been forwarded as a patch.
|
||||
|
||||
Tcl is also backwards syntax compatible with OpenOCD
|
||||
commands.

Tcl has an advantage in that it's syntax is backwards
|

compatible with the current OpenOCD syntax.

- external scripting. Low level tcl functions will be defined

that return machine readable output. These low level tcl

functions constitute the tcl api. flash_banks is such

a low level tcl proc. "flash banks" is an example of

a command that has human readable output. The human

readable output is expected to change inbetween versions
|

of OpenOCD. The output from flash_banks may not be

in the preferred form for the client. The client then
|

has two choices a) parse the output from flash_banks

or b) write a small piece of tcl to output the
|
||||
flash_banks output to a more suitable form. The latter may
|

be simpler.
