+This file includes highlights of the changes made in the OpenOCD
+source archive release.
JTAG Layer:
- FT2232H (high speed USB) support doesn't need separate configuration
- New FT2232H JTAG adapters: Amontec, Olimex, Signalyzer
- New reset_config options for SRST gating the JTAG clock (or not)
- TAP declaration no longer requires ircapture and mask attributes
- Scan chain setup should be more robust, with better diagnostics
- New TAP events:
- "post-reset" for TAP-invariant setup code (TAPs not usable yet)
- "setup" for use once TAPs are addressable (e.g. with ICEpick)
- Overridable Tcl "init_reset" and "jtag_init" procedures
- Simple "autoprobe" mechanism to help simplify server setup
+ * SWD support with FTDI, Versaloon, J-Link, sysfsgpio
+ * CMSIS-DAP massive speed and stability improvements
+ * Versaloon driver ported to libusb-1.0
+ * STLink can reestablish communication with a target that was
+ disconnected or rebooted
+ * STLink FAULT and WAIT SWD handling improved
+ * New hla_serial command to distinguish between several HLA
+ adapters attached to a single machine

Boundary Scan:
- SVF bugfixes ... parsing fixes, better STATE switch conformance
- XSVF bugfixes ... be more correct, handle Xilinx tool output
Target Layer:
- Warn on use of obsolete numeric target IDs
- 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
- you may need to explicitly "reset" after connect-to-Beagle
- New commands for use with XScale processors: "xscale vector_table"
- ARM
- bugfixes to single-stepping Thumb code
- ETM: unavailable registers are not listed
- ETB, ETM: report actual hardware status
- ARM9
- name change: "arm9 vector_catch" not "arm9tdmi vector_catch"
- ARM11
- single stepping support for i.MX31
- bugfix for missing "arm11" prefix on "arm11 memwrite ..."
- GDB support
- gdb_attach command is gone
+ * Stability improvements for targets that get disconnected or
+ rebooted during a debug session
+ * MIPS speed and reliability improvements
+ * MIPS 1.5/2.0 fixes
+ * ARMv7-R improvements
+ * Cortex-A improvements, A7, A15 MPCores support
+ * FPU support for ARMv7-M (Cortex-M4F)
+ * TPIU/ITM support (including SWO/SWV tracing), can be
+ captured with external tools or STLink
+ * JTAG Serial Port (Advanced Debug System softcore) support
+ * Profiling support for OpenRISC
+ * ChibiOS/RT 3.0 support (with and without FPU)
+ * FreeRTOS current versions support
+ * Freescale MQX RTOS support
+ * GDB target description support for MIPS
+ * The last created target is auto-selected as the current
Flash Layer:

- New drivers:
- lpc2900, for NXP LPC2900 chips (ARM968 based)
- mx3_nand, for imx31
- New "last" flag for NOR "flash erase_sector" and "flash protect"
- The "nand erase N" command now erases all of bank N
- Speed up davinci_nand by about 3x
