The debugger uses an IEEE 1149-1 compliant JTAG TAP bus master to access on-chip

User interaction is realized through a telnet command line interface and a gdb
(The GNU Debugger) remote protocol server.
Initially, support for two JTAG TAP bus master interfaces with public hardware
schematics will be included, but support of additional hardware is an expressed
goal.
1. JTAG hardware
Currently, openocd contains support for Wiggler-compatible paralell port
dongles and a USB interface based on the FTDI FT2232, called USBJTAG-1.
A new version of the USB interface, USB-JTAG v1.2, is available with complete
schematics (http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~hhoegl/proj/volksmikro/usb-jtag/050910/).
Currently, OpenOCD supports three types of JTAG interfaces:
It was tested using Amontec's (www.amontec.com) Chameleon POD in it's
Wiggler configuration, but homemade wigglers should work just as well.
In order to use the reset functionality (warm-reset, debug from reset, reset
and init), the choosen Wiggler has to connect the nSRST line.
- Parallel port wigglers. These devices connect to a PC's parallel port,
providing direct access to the JTAG lines. The OpenOCD contains descriptions
of a few Wiggler layouts, including the original 'Wiggler' design. Other
layouts (i.e. mapping of parallel port pins to JTAG lines) can be added easily.
Typical Wiggler speeds are around 12kByte/s code download to an ARM7's RAM.
USBJTAG-1 is based on a FTDI DLP2232M module and a few additional parts.
Schematics are freely available. USB-JTAG v1.2 doesn't use the DLP2232M, but
has the FTDI chip soldered directly on the PCB. There are two drivers for these
modules implemented, one using the open source libftdi, the other using FTDI's
proprietary FTD2XX library.
- The Amontec JTAG Accelerator. This is a configuration for Amontec's Chameleon
dongle, a parallel port interface based on a Xilinx CoolRunner CPLD. It uses
the IEEE1284 EPP parallel port specification, providing many times the
performance achievable with wiggler-style devices. Additional information is
available on www.amontec.com.
Typical JTAG Accelerator speeds are around 120-160kByte/s to an ARM7's RAM.
- FTDI FT2232 based USB devices. The FT2232 (but not FT232 or FT245) features a
multi-protocol synchronous serial engine (MPSSE) that can be used to run the
serial JTAG protocol. There are several implemenations of FT2232 based devices:
* USBJTAG: http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~hhoegl/proj/usbjtag/usbjtag.html
The USBJTAG was designed by Prof. Hubert Hoegl to provide a high-speed USB
interface for use with the OpenOCD. Schematics are available at the USBJTAG
website, and a homebrew device can easily be built using the FTDI evaluation
module DLP2232M.
* Amontec JTAGkey: www.amontec.com
The Amontec JTAGkey offers support for a wide variety of target voltages from
1.4V to 5V. It also allows the JTAG lines and reset signals to be tri-stated,
allowing easy interfacing with a wide variety of targets.
* Olimex ARM-USB-OCD: www.olimex.com
The Olimex ARM-USB-OCD offers support for a wide vriety of target voltages from
2.0V to 5V. It also allows targets to be powered from the ARM-USB-OCD and
features and additional RS232 UART.
* eVerve Signalyzer: www.signalyzer.com
The Signalyzer offers support for a wide variety of target voltages from 1.2V to
5.5V. A second connector provides access to a TTL level UART.
All FT2232 based devices may be accessed using either FTDI's proprietary FTD2XX
library (www.ftdichip.com) or using an open-source replacement from
http://www.intra2net.com/de/produkte/opensource/ftdi/index.php, also included
with many Linux distributions.
2. Supported cores
This version of openocd supports the following cores:
- ARM7TDMI
- ARM7TDMI(-s)
- ARM9TDMI
- ARM920t
- ARM922t
- ARM966e
Support for cores with MMUs (ARM720t, ARM920t) is currently being merged.
Support for Intel XScale CPUs (PXA25x, PXA27x and IXP4xx) is currently being
developed.
3. Licensing
The OpenOCD is only tested with little-endian targets, but support for
big-endian is planned. If you're interested in helping with this (and you
happen to have a big-endian ARM7/ARM9 system, feel free to contact
Dominic.Rath <at> gmx.de.

3. Host platforms
OpenOCD was originally developed on x86-Linux, but has since then been ported
to run on Windows/Cygwin, native Windows with MinGW, FreeBSD, x86-64-Linux and
(though it's not fully working yet) PowerPC OS-X.
