OpenOCD 0.5.0

OpenOCD 0.5.0 gives you an interesting and convenient to use Open On-Chip Debugger was created in order to provide JTAG access from GDB (or directly with TCL scripts) to processors with ARM, MIPS and other cores.

Major Features:

1. Thumb2 disassembly (for Cortex-M3)
2. Improved BeagleBoard support
3. Support flash on LPC1700 and LPC2900

Enhancements:

• JTAG Layer:
• • 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:
• • 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:
• • 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:
• • 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.
