101 OpenOCD was created by Dominic Rath as part of a 2005 diploma thesis written
102 at the University of Applied Sciences Augsburg (@uref{http://www.hs-augsburg.de}).
103 Since that time, the project has grown into an active open-source project,
104 supported by a diverse community of software and hardware developers from
105 around the world.

107 @section What is OpenOCD?
108 @cindex TAP
109 @cindex JTAG
110
111 The Open On-Chip Debugger (OpenOCD) aims to provide debugging,
112 in-system programming and boundary-scan testing for embedded target
113 devices.
114
115 It does so with the assistance of a @dfn{debug adapter}, which is
116 a small hardware module which helps provide the right kind of
117 electrical signaling to the target being debugged. These are
118 required since the debug host (on which OpenOCD runs) won't
119 usually have native support for such signaling, or the connector
120 needed to hook up to the target.
121
122 Such debug adapters support one or more @dfn{transport} protocols,
123 each of which involves different electrical signaling (and uses
124 different messaging protocols on top of that signaling). There
125 are many types of debug adapter, and little uniformity in what
126 they are called. (There are also product naming differences.)
127
128 These adapters are sometimes packaged as discrete dongles, which
129 may generically be called @dfn{hardware interface dongles}.
130 Some development boards also integrate them directly, which may
131 let the development board connect directly to the debug
132 host over USB (and sometimes also to power it over USB).
133
134 For example, a @dfn{JTAG Adapter} supports JTAG
135 signaling, and is used to communicate
136 with JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) compliant TAPs on your target board.
137 A @dfn{TAP} is a ``Test Access Port'', a module which processes
138 special instructions and data. TAPs are daisy-chained within and
139 between chips and boards. JTAG supports debugging and boundary
140 scan operations.
141
142 There are also @dfn{SWD Adapters} that support Serial Wire Debug (SWD)
143 signaling to communicate with some newer ARM cores, as well as debug
144 adapters which support both JTAG and SWD transports. SWD supports only
145 debugging, whereas JTAG also supports boundary scan operations.
146
147 For some chips, there are also @dfn{Programming Adapters} supporting
148 special transports used only to write code to flash memory, without
149 support for on-chip debugging or boundary scan.
150 (At this writing, OpenOCD does not support such non-debug adapters.)
151
152
153 @b{Dongles:} OpenOCD currently supports many types of hardware dongles:
154 USB-based, parallel port-based, and other standalone boxes that run
155 OpenOCD internally. @xref{Debug Adapter Hardware}.
156
157 @b{GDB Debug:} It allows ARM7 (ARM7TDMI and ARM720t), ARM9 (ARM920T,
158 ARM922T, ARM926EJ--S, ARM966E--S), XScale (PXA25x, IXP42x), Cortex-M3
159 (Stellaris LM3, STMicroelectronics STM32 and Energy Micro EFM32) and
160 Intel Quark (x10xx) based cores to be debugged via the GDB protocol.
161
162 @b{Flash Programming:} Flash writing is supported for external
163 CFI-compatible NOR flashes (Intel and AMD/Spansion command set) and several
164 internal flashes (LPC1700, LPC1800, LPC2000, LPC4300, AT91SAM7, AT91SAM3U,
165 STR7x, STR9x, LM3, STM32x and EFM32). Preliminary support for various NAND flash
166 controllers (LPC3180, Orion, S3C24xx, more) is included.

185
186 @section OpenOCD User's Forum
187
188 There is an OpenOCD forum (phpBB) hosted by SparkFun,
189 which might be helpful to you. Note that if you want
190 anything to come to the attention of developers, you
191 should post it to the OpenOCD Developer Mailing List
192 instead of this forum.
193
194 @uref{http://forum.sparkfun.com/viewforum.php?f=18}
195
196 @section OpenOCD User's Mailing List
197
198 The OpenOCD User Mailing List provides the primary means of
199 communication between users:
200
201 @uref{https://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/openocd-user}
202
203 @section OpenOCD IRC

208 @node Developers
209 @chapter OpenOCD Developer Resources
210 @cindex developers
211
212 If you are interested in improving the state of OpenOCD's debugging and
213 testing support, new contributions will be welcome. Motivated developers
214 can produce new target, flash or interface drivers, improve the
215 documentation, as well as more conventional bug fixes and enhancements.
216
217 The resources in this chapter are available for developers wishing to explore
218 or expand the OpenOCD source code.
219
220 @section OpenOCD Git Repository
221
222 During the 0.3.x release cycle, OpenOCD switched from Subversion to
223 a Git repository hosted at SourceForge. The repository URL is:
224
225 @uref{git://git.code.sf.net/p/openocd/code}
226
227 or via http
228
229 @uref{http://git.code.sf.net/p/openocd/code}
230
231 You may prefer to use a mirror and the HTTP protocol:
232
233 @uref{http://repo.or.cz/r/openocd.git}
234
235 With standard Git tools, use @command{git clone} to initialize
236 a local repository, and @command{git pull} to update it.
237 There are also gitweb pages letting you browse the repository
238 with a web browser, or download arbitrary snapshots without
239 needing a Git client:
240
241 @uref{http://repo.or.cz/w/openocd.git}
242
243 The @file{README} file contains the instructions for building the project
244 from the repository or a snapshot.
245
246 Developers that want to contribute patches to the OpenOCD system are
247 @b{strongly} encouraged to work against mainline.
248 Patches created against older versions may require additional
249 work from their submitter in order to be updated for newer releases.
250
251 @section Doxygen Developer Manual
252
253 During the 0.2.x release cycle, the OpenOCD project began
254 providing a Doxygen reference manual. This document contains more
255 technical information about the software internals, development
256 processes, and similar documentation:
257
258 @uref{http://openocd.org/doc/doxygen/html/index.html}
259
260 This document is a work-in-progress, but contributions would be welcome
261 to fill in the gaps. All of the source files are provided in-tree,
262 listed in the Doxyfile configuration at the top of the source tree.
263
264 @section Gerrit Review System
265
266 All changes in the OpenOCD Git repository go through the web-based Gerrit
267 Code Review System:
268
269 @uref{http://openocd.zylin.com/}
270
271 After a one-time registration and repository setup, anyone can push commits
272 from their local Git repository directly into Gerrit.
273 All users and developers are encouraged to review, test, discuss and vote
274 for changes in Gerrit. The feedback provides the basis for a maintainer to
275 eventually submit the change to the main Git repository.
276
277 The @file{HACKING} file, also available as the Patch Guide in the Doxygen
278 Developer Manual, contains basic information about how to connect a
279 repository to Gerrit, prepare and push patches. Patch authors are expected to
280 maintain their changes while they're in Gerrit, respond to feedback and if
281 necessary rework and push improved versions of the change.
282
283 @section OpenOCD Developer Mailing List

307 Defined: @b{dongle}: A small device that plugs into a computer and serves as
308 an adapter .... [snip]
309
310 In the OpenOCD case, this generally refers to @b{a small adapter} that
311 attaches to your computer via USB or the parallel port. One
312 exception is the Ultimate Solutions ZY1000, packaged as a small box you
313 attach via an ethernet cable. The ZY1000 has the advantage that it does not
314 require any drivers to be installed on the developer PC. It also has
315 a built in web interface. It supports RTCK/RCLK or adaptive clocking
316 and has a built-in relay to power cycle targets remotely.
317
318
319 @section Choosing a Dongle
320
321 There are several things you should keep in mind when choosing a dongle.
322
323 @enumerate
324 @item @b{Transport} Does it support the kind of communication that you need?
325 OpenOCD focusses mostly on JTAG. Your version may also support
326 other ways to communicate with target devices.
327 @item @b{Voltage} What voltage is your target - 1.8, 2.8, 3.3, or 5V?
328 Does your dongle support it? You might need a level converter.
329 @item @b{Pinout} What pinout does your target board use?
330 Does your dongle support it? You may be able to use jumper
331 wires, or an "octopus" connector, to convert pinouts.
332 @item @b{Connection} Does your computer have the USB, parallel, or
333 Ethernet port needed?
334 @item @b{RTCK} Do you expect to use it with ARM chips and boards with
335 RTCK support (also known as ``adaptive clocking'')?
336 @end enumerate
337
338 @section Stand-alone JTAG Probe
339
340 The ZY1000 from Ultimate Solutions is technically not a dongle but a
341 stand-alone JTAG probe that, unlike most dongles, doesn't require any drivers
342 running on the developer's host computer.
343 Once installed on a network using DHCP or a static IP assignment, users can
344 access the ZY1000 probe locally or remotely from any host with access to the
345 IP address assigned to the probe.
346 The ZY1000 provides an intuitive web interface with direct access to the
347 OpenOCD debugger.
348 Users may also run a GDBSERVER directly on the ZY1000 to take full advantage
349 of GCC & GDB to debug any distribution of embedded Linux or NetBSD running on
350 the target.
351 The ZY1000 supports RTCK & RCLK or adaptive clocking and has a built-in relay
352 to power cycle the target remotely.

357
358 @section USB FT2232 Based
359
360 There are many USB JTAG dongles on the market, many of them based
361 on a chip from ``Future Technology Devices International'' (FTDI)
362 known as the FTDI FT2232; this is a USB full speed (12 Mbps) chip.
363 See: @url{http://www.ftdichip.com} for more information.
364 In summer 2009, USB high speed (480 Mbps) versions of these FTDI
365 chips started to become available in JTAG adapters. Around 2012, a new
366 variant appeared - FT232H - this is a single-channel version of FT2232H.
367 (Adapters using those high speed FT2232H or FT232H chips may support adaptive
368 clocking.)
369
370 The FT2232 chips are flexible enough to support some other
371 transport options, such as SWD or the SPI variants used to
372 program some chips. They have two communications channels,
373 and one can be used for a UART adapter at the same time the
374 other one is used to provide a debug adapter.
375
376 Also, some development boards integrate an FT2232 chip to serve as
377 a built-in low-cost debug adapter and USB-to-serial solution.

627 OpenOCD uses a small ``Tcl Interpreter'' known as Jim-Tcl.
628 This programming language provides a simple and extensible
629 command interpreter.
630
631 All commands presented in this Guide are extensions to Jim-Tcl.
632 You can use them as simple commands, without needing to learn
633 much of anything about Tcl.
634 Alternatively, you can write Tcl programs with them.
635
636 You can learn more about Jim at its website, @url{http://jim.tcl.tk}.
637 There is an active and responsive community, get on the mailing list
638 if you have any questions. Jim-Tcl maintainers also lurk on the
639 OpenOCD mailing list.
640
641 @itemize @bullet
642 @item @b{Jim vs. Tcl}
643 @* Jim-Tcl is a stripped down version of the well known Tcl language,
644 which can be found here: @url{http://www.tcl.tk}. Jim-Tcl has far
645 fewer features. Jim-Tcl is several dozens of .C files and .H files and
646 implements the basic Tcl command set. In contrast: Tcl 8.6 is a
647 4.2 MB .zip file containing 1540 files.
648
649 @item @b{Missing Features}
650 @* Our practice has been: Add/clone the real Tcl feature if/when
651 needed. We welcome Jim-Tcl improvements, not bloat. Also there
652 are a large number of optional Jim-Tcl features that are not
653 enabled in OpenOCD.
654
655 @item @b{Scripts}
656 @* OpenOCD configuration scripts are Jim-Tcl Scripts. OpenOCD's
657 command interpreter today is a mixture of (newer)
658 Jim-Tcl commands, and the (older) original command interpreter.
659
660 @item @b{Commands}
661 @* At the OpenOCD telnet command line (or via the GDB monitor command) one
662 can type a Tcl for() loop, set variables, etc.
663 Some of the commands documented in this guide are implemented
664 as Tcl scripts, from a @file{startup.tcl} file internal to the server.
665
666 @item @b{Historical Note}
667 @* Jim-Tcl was introduced to OpenOCD in spring 2008. Fall 2010,
668 before OpenOCD 0.5 release, OpenOCD switched to using Jim-Tcl
669 as a Git submodule, which greatly simplified upgrading Jim-Tcl
670 to benefit from new features and bugfixes in Jim-Tcl.

682 Properly installing OpenOCD sets up your operating system to grant it access
683 to the debug adapters. On Linux, this usually involves installing a file
684 in @file{/etc/udev/rules.d,} so OpenOCD has permissions. An example rules file
685 that works for many common adapters is shipped with OpenOCD in the
686 @file{contrib} directory. MS-Windows needs
687 complex and confusing driver configuration for every peripheral. Such issues
688 are unique to each operating system, and are not detailed in this User's Guide.
689
690 Then later you will invoke the OpenOCD server, with various options to
691 tell it how each debug session should work.
692 The @option{--help} option shows:
693 @verbatim
694 bash$ openocd --help
695
696 --help | -h display this help
697 --version | -v display OpenOCD version
698 --file | -f use configuration file <name>
699 --search | -s dir to search for config files and scripts
700 --debug | -d set debug level to 3
701 | -d<n> set debug level to <level>
702 --log_output | -l redirect log output to file <name>
703 --command | -c run <command>
704 @end verbatim
705
706 If you don't give any @option{-f} or @option{-c} options,
707 OpenOCD tries to read the configuration file @file{openocd.cfg}.
708 To specify one or more different
709 configuration files, use @option{-f} options. For example:
710
711 @example
712 openocd -f config1.cfg -f config2.cfg -f config3.cfg
713 @end example
714
715 Configuration files and scripts are searched for in
716 @enumerate
717 @item the current directory,
718 @item any search dir specified on the command line using the @option{-s} option,
719 @item any search dir specified using the @command{add_script_search_dir} command,
720 @item @file{$HOME/.openocd} (not on Windows),
721 @item a directory in the @env{OPENOCD_SCRIPTS} environment variable (if set),
722 @item the site wide script library @file{$pkgdatadir/site} and
723 @item the OpenOCD-supplied script library @file{$pkgdatadir/scripts}.
724 @end enumerate
725 The first found file with a matching file name will be used.
726
727 @quotation Note
728 Don't try to use configuration script names or paths which
729 include the "#" character. That character begins Tcl comments.
730 @end quotation
731
732 @section Simple setup, no customization
733
734 In the best case, you can use two scripts from one of the script
735 libraries, hook up your JTAG adapter, and start the server ... and
736 your JTAG setup will just work "out of the box". Always try to
737 start by reusing those scripts, but assume you'll need more
738 customization even if this works. @xref{OpenOCD Project Setup}.
739
740 If you find a script for your JTAG adapter, and for your board or
741 target, you may be able to hook up your JTAG adapter then start
742 the server with some variation of one of the following:
743
744 @example
745 openocd -f interface/ADAPTER.cfg -f board/MYBOARD.cfg
746 openocd -f interface/ftdi/ADAPTER.cfg -f board/MYBOARD.cfg
747 @end example
748
749 You might also need to configure which reset signals are present,
750 using @option{-c 'reset_config trst_and_srst'} or something similar.
751 If all goes well you'll see output something like
752
753 @example
754 Open On-Chip Debugger 0.4.0 (2010-01-14-15:06)
755 For bug reports, read
756 http://openocd.org/doc/doxygen/bugs.html
757 Info : JTAG tap: lm3s.cpu tap/device found: 0x3ba00477
758 (mfg: 0x23b, part: 0xba00, ver: 0x3)
759 @end example
760
761 Seeing that "tap/device found" message, and no warnings, means
762 the JTAG communication is working. That's a key milestone, but
763 you'll probably need more project-specific setup.
764
765 @section What OpenOCD does as it starts
766
767 OpenOCD starts by processing the configuration commands provided
768 on the command line or, if there were no @option{-c command} or
769 @option{-f file.cfg} options given, in @file{openocd.cfg}.
770 @xref{configurationstage,,Configuration Stage}.
771 At the end of the configuration stage it verifies the JTAG scan
772 chain defined using those commands; your configuration should
773 ensure that this always succeeds.
774 Normally, OpenOCD then starts running as a server.
775 Alternatively, commands may be used to terminate the configuration
776 stage early, perform work (such as updating some flash memory),
777 and then shut down without acting as a server.
778
779 Once OpenOCD starts running as a server, it waits for connections from
780 clients (Telnet, GDB, RPC) and processes the commands issued through
781 those channels.
782
783 If you are having problems, you can enable internal debug messages via
784 the @option{-d} option.
785
786 Also it is possible to interleave Jim-Tcl commands w/config scripts using the
787 @option{-c} command line switch.
788
789 To enable debug output (when reporting problems or working on OpenOCD
790 itself), use the @option{-d} command line switch. This sets the
791 @option{debug_level} to "3", outputting the most information,
792 including debug messages. The default setting is "2", outputting only
793 informational messages, warnings and errors. You can also change this
794 setting from within a telnet or gdb session using @command{debug_level<n>}
795 (@pxref{debuglevel,,debug_level}).
796
797 You can redirect all output from the server to a file using the
798 @option{-l <logfile>} switch.
799
800 Note! OpenOCD will launch the GDB & telnet server even if it can not
801 establish a connection with the target. In general, it is possible for
802 the JTAG controller to be unresponsive until the target is set up
803 correctly via e.g. GDB monitor commands in a GDB init script.
804
805 @node OpenOCD Project Setup
806 @chapter OpenOCD Project Setup
807
808 To use OpenOCD with your development projects, you need to do more than
809 just connect the JTAG adapter hardware (dongle) to your development board
810 and start the OpenOCD server.
811 You also need to configure your OpenOCD server so that it knows
812 about your adapter and board, and helps your work.
813 You may also want to connect OpenOCD to GDB, possibly
814 using Eclipse or some other GUI.
815
816 @section Hooking up the JTAG Adapter
817
818 Today's most common case is a dongle with a JTAG cable on one side
819 (such as a ribbon cable with a 10-pin or 20-pin IDC connector)
820 and a USB cable on the other.
821 Instead of USB, some cables use Ethernet;
822 older ones may use a PC parallel port, or even a serial port.
823
824 @enumerate
825 @item @emph{Start with power to your target board turned off},
826 and nothing connected to your JTAG adapter.
827 If you're particularly paranoid, unplug power to the board.
828 It's important to have the ground signal properly set up,
829 unless you are using a JTAG adapter which provides
830 galvanic isolation between the target board and the
831 debugging host.
832
833 @item @emph{Be sure it's the right kind of JTAG connector.}
834 If your dongle has a 20-pin ARM connector, you need some kind
835 of adapter (or octopus, see below) to hook it up to
836 boards using 14-pin or 10-pin connectors ... or to 20-pin
837 connectors which don't use ARM's pinout.
838
839 In the same vein, make sure the voltage levels are compatible.
840 Not all JTAG adapters have the level shifters needed to work
841 with 1.2 Volt boards.
842
843 @item @emph{Be certain the cable is properly oriented} or you might
844 damage your board. In most cases there are only two possible
845 ways to connect the cable.
846 Connect the JTAG cable from your adapter to the board.
847 Be sure it's firmly connected.
848
849 In the best case, the connector is keyed to physically
850 prevent you from inserting it wrong.
851 This is most often done using a slot on the board's male connector
852 housing, which must match a key on the JTAG cable's female connector.
853 If there's no housing, then you must look carefully and
854 make sure pin 1 on the cable hooks up to pin 1 on the board.
855 Ribbon cables are frequently all grey except for a wire on one
856 edge, which is red. The red wire is pin 1.
857
858 Sometimes dongles provide cables where one end is an ``octopus'' of
859 color coded single-wire connectors, instead of a connector block.
860 These are great when converting from one JTAG pinout to another,
861 but are tedious to set up.
862 Use these with connector pinout diagrams to help you match up the
863 adapter signals to the right board pins.
864
865 @item @emph{Connect the adapter's other end} once the JTAG cable is connected.
866 A USB, parallel, or serial port connector will go to the host which
867 you are using to run OpenOCD.
868 For Ethernet, consult the documentation and your network administrator.
869
870 For USB-based JTAG adapters you have an easy sanity check at this point:
871 does the host operating system see the JTAG adapter? If you're running
872 Linux, try the @command{lsusb} command. If that host is an
873 MS-Windows host, you'll need to install a driver before OpenOCD works.
874
875 @item @emph{Connect the adapter's power supply, if needed.}
876 This step is primarily for non-USB adapters,
877 but sometimes USB adapters need extra power.
878
879 @item @emph{Power up the target board.}
880 Unless you just let the magic smoke escape,
881 you're now ready to set up the OpenOCD server
882 so you can use JTAG to work with that board.
883
884 @end enumerate
885

889
890 @section Project Directory
891
892 There are many ways you can configure OpenOCD and start it up.
893
894 A simple way to organize them all involves keeping a
895 single directory for your work with a given board.
896 When you start OpenOCD from that directory,
897 it searches there first for configuration files, scripts,
898 files accessed through semihosting,
899 and for code you upload to the target board.
900 It is also the natural place to write files,
901 such as log files and data you download from the board.
902
903 @section Configuration Basics
904
905 There are two basic ways of configuring OpenOCD, and
906 a variety of ways you can mix them.
907 Think of the difference as just being how you start the server:
908
909 @itemize
910 @item Many @option{-f file} or @option{-c command} options on the command line
911 @item No options, but a @dfn{user config file}
912 in the current directory named @file{openocd.cfg}
913 @end itemize
914
915 Here is an example @file{openocd.cfg} file for a setup
916 using a Signalyzer FT2232-based JTAG adapter to talk to
917 a board with an Atmel AT91SAM7X256 microcontroller:
918
919 @example
920 source [find interface/ftdi/signalyzer.cfg]
921
922 # GDB can also flash my flash!
923 gdb_memory_map enable
924 gdb_flash_program enable
925
926 source [find target/sam7x256.cfg]
927 @end example
928
929 Here is the command line equivalent of that configuration:
930
931 @example
932 openocd -f interface/ftdi/signalyzer.cfg \
933 -c "gdb_memory_map enable" \
934 -c "gdb_flash_program enable" \
935 -f target/sam7x256.cfg
936 @end example
937
938 You could wrap such long command lines in shell scripts,
939 each supporting a different development task.
940 One might re-flash the board with a specific firmware version.
941 Another might set up a particular debugging or run-time environment.
942
943 @quotation Important
944 At this writing (October 2009) the command line method has
945 problems with how it treats variables.
946 For example, after @option{-c "set VAR value"}, or doing the
947 same in a script, the variable @var{VAR} will have no value
948 that can be tested in a later script.
949 @end quotation
950
951 Here we will focus on the simpler solution: one user config
952 file, including basic configuration plus any TCL procedures
953 to simplify your work.
954
955 @section User Config Files
956 @cindex config file, user
957 @cindex user config file
958 @cindex config file, overview
959
960 A user configuration file ties together all the parts of a project
961 in one place.
962 One of the following will match your situation best:
963
964 @itemize
965 @item Ideally almost everything comes from configuration files
966 provided by someone else.
967 For example, OpenOCD distributes a @file{scripts} directory
968 (probably in @file{/usr/share/openocd/scripts} on Linux).
969 Board and tool vendors can provide these too, as can individual
970 user sites; the @option{-s} command line option lets you say
971 where to find these files. (@xref{Running}.)
972 The AT91SAM7X256 example above works this way.
973
974 Three main types of non-user configuration file each have their
975 own subdirectory in the @file{scripts} directory:
976
977 @enumerate
978 @item @b{interface} -- one for each different debug adapter;
979 @item @b{board} -- one for each different board
980 @item @b{target} -- the chips which integrate CPUs and other JTAG TAPs
981 @end enumerate
982
983 Best case: include just two files, and they handle everything else.
984 The first is an interface config file.
985 The second is board-specific, and it sets up the JTAG TAPs and
986 their GDB targets (by deferring to some @file{target.cfg} file),
987 declares all flash memory, and leaves you nothing to do except
988 meet your deadline:
989
990 @example
991 source [find interface/olimex-jtag-tiny.cfg]
992 source [find board/csb337.cfg]
993 @end example
994
995 Boards with a single microcontroller often won't need more
996 than the target config file, as in the AT91SAM7X256 example.
997 That's because there is no external memory (flash, DDR RAM), and
998 the board differences are encapsulated by application code.
999
1000 @item Maybe you don't know yet what your board looks like to JTAG.
1001 Once you know the @file{interface.cfg} file to use, you may
1002 need help from OpenOCD to discover what's on the board.
1003 Once you find the JTAG TAPs, you can just search for appropriate
1004 target and board
1005 configuration files ... or write your own, from the bottom up.
1006 @xref{autoprobing,,Autoprobing}.
1007
1008 @item You can often reuse some standard config files but
1009 need to write a few new ones, probably a @file{board.cfg} file.
1010 You will be using commands described later in this User's Guide,
1011 and working with the guidelines in the next chapter.
1012
1013 For example, there may be configuration files for your JTAG adapter
1014 and target chip, but you need a new board-specific config file
1015 giving access to your particular flash chips.
1016 Or you might need to write another target chip configuration file
1017 for a new chip built around the Cortex-M3 core.
1018
1019 @quotation Note
1020 When you write new configuration files, please submit
1021 them for inclusion in the next OpenOCD release.
1022 For example, a @file{board/newboard.cfg} file will help the
1023 next users of that board, and a @file{target/newcpu.cfg}
1024 will help support users of any board using that chip.

1028 You may may need to write some C code.
1029 It may be as simple as supporting a new FT2232 or parport
1030 based adapter; a bit more involved, like a NAND or NOR flash
1031 controller driver; or a big piece of work like supporting
1032 a new chip architecture.

1034
1035 Reuse the existing config files when you can.
1036 Look first in the @file{scripts/boards} area, then @file{scripts/targets}.
1037 You may find a board configuration that's a good example to follow.
1038
1039 When you write config files, separate the reusable parts
1040 (things every user of that interface, chip, or board needs)
1041 from ones specific to your environment and debugging approach.
1042 @itemize
1043
1044 @item
1045 For example, a @code{gdb-attach} event handler that invokes
1046 the @command{reset init} command will interfere with debugging
1047 early boot code, which performs some of the same actions
1048 that the @code{reset-init} event handler does.
1049
1050 @item
1051 Likewise, the @command{arm9 vector_catch} command (or
1052 @cindex vector_catch
1053 its siblings @command{xscale vector_catch}
1054 and @command{cortex_m vector_catch}) can be a time-saver
1055 during some debug sessions, but don't make everyone use that either.
1056 Keep those kinds of debugging aids in your user config file,
1057 along with messaging and tracing setup.
1058 (@xref{softwaredebugmessagesandtracing,,Software Debug Messages and Tracing}.)
1059
1060 @item
1061 You might need to override some defaults.
1062 For example, you might need to move, shrink, or back up the target's
1063 work area if your application needs much SRAM.
1064
1065 @item
1066 TCP/IP port configuration is another example of something which
1067 is environment-specific, and should only appear in

1071 @section Project-Specific Utilities
1072
1073 A few project-specific utility
1074 routines may well speed up your work.
1075 Write them, and keep them in your project's user config file.
1076
1077 For example, if you are making a boot loader work on a
1078 board, it's nice to be able to debug the ``after it's
1079 loaded to RAM'' parts separately from the finicky early
1080 code which sets up the DDR RAM controller and clocks.
1081 A script like this one, or a more GDB-aware sibling,
1082 may help:
1083
1084 @example
1085 proc ramboot @{ @} @{
1086 # Reset, running the target's "reset-init" scripts
1087 # to initialize clocks and the DDR RAM controller.
1088 # Leave the CPU halted.
1089 reset init
1090
1091 # Load CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT version into DDR RAM.
1092 load_image u-boot.bin 0x20000000
1093
1094 # Start running.
1095 resume 0x20000000
1096 @}
1097 @end example
1098
1099 Then once that code is working you will need to make it
1100 boot from NOR flash; a different utility would help.
1101 Alternatively, some developers write to flash using GDB.
1102 (You might use a similar script if you're working with a flash
1103 based microcontroller application instead of a boot loader.)
1104
1105 @example
1106 proc newboot @{ @} @{
1107 # Reset, leaving the CPU halted. The "reset-init" event
1108 # proc gives faster access to the CPU and to NOR flash;
1109 # "reset halt" would be slower.
1110 reset init
1111
1112 # Write standard version of U-Boot into the first two
1113 # sectors of NOR flash ... the standard version should
1114 # do the same lowlevel init as "reset-init".
1115 flash protect 0 0 1 off
1116 flash erase_sector 0 0 1
1117 flash write_bank 0 u-boot.bin 0x0
1118 flash protect 0 0 1 on
1119
1120 # Reboot from scratch using that new boot loader.
1121 reset run
1122 @}
1123 @end example
1124
1125 You may need more complicated utility procedures when booting
1126 from NAND.
1127 That often involves an extra bootloader stage,
1128 running from on-chip SRAM to perform DDR RAM setup so it can load
1129 the main bootloader code (which won't fit into that SRAM).
1130
1131 Other helper scripts might be used to write production system images,
1132 involving considerably more than just a three stage bootloader.
1133
1134 @section Target Software Changes
1135
1136 Sometimes you may want to make some small changes to the software
1137 you're developing, to help make JTAG debugging work better.
1138 For example, in C or assembly language code you might
1139 use @code{#ifdef JTAG_DEBUG} (or its converse) around code
1140 handling issues like:
1141
1142 @itemize @bullet
1143
1144 @item @b{Watchdog Timers}...
1145 Watchdog timers are typically used to automatically reset systems if
1146 some application task doesn't periodically reset the timer. (The
1147 assumption is that the system has locked up if the task can't run.)
1148 When a JTAG debugger halts the system, that task won't be able to run
1149 and reset the timer ... potentially causing resets in the middle of
1150 your debug sessions.
1151
1152 It's rarely a good idea to disable such watchdogs, since their usage
1153 needs to be debugged just like all other parts of your firmware.
1154 That might however be your only option.
1155
1156 Look instead for chip-specific ways to stop the watchdog from counting
1157 while the system is in a debug halt state. It may be simplest to set
1158 that non-counting mode in your debugger startup scripts. You may however
1159 need a different approach when, for example, a motor could be physically
1160 damaged by firmware remaining inactive in a debug halt state. That might
1161 involve a type of firmware mode where that "non-counting" mode is disabled
1162 at the beginning then re-enabled at the end; a watchdog reset might fire
1163 and complicate the debug session, but hardware (or people) would be
1164 protected.@footnote{Note that many systems support a "monitor mode" debug
1165 that is a somewhat cleaner way to address such issues. You can think of
1166 it as only halting part of the system, maybe just one task,
1167 instead of the whole thing.
1168 At this writing, January 2010, OpenOCD based debugging does not support
1169 monitor mode debug, only "halt mode" debug.}
1170
1171 @item @b{ARM Semihosting}...
1172 @cindex ARM semihosting
1173 When linked with a special runtime library provided with many
1174 toolchains@footnote{See chapter 8 "Semihosting" in
1175 @uref{http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.dui0203i/DUI0203I_rvct_developer_guide.pdf,
1176 ARM DUI 0203I}, the "RealView Compilation Tools Developer Guide".
1177 The CodeSourcery EABI toolchain also includes a semihosting library.},
1178 your target code can use I/O facilities on the debug host. That library
1179 provides a small set of system calls which are handled by OpenOCD.
1180 It can let the debugger provide your system console and a file system,
1181 helping with early debugging or providing a more capable environment
1182 for sometimes-complex tasks like installing system firmware onto
1183 NAND or SPI flash.
1184
1185 @item @b{ARM Wait-For-Interrupt}...
1186 Many ARM chips synchronize the JTAG clock using the core clock.
1187 Low power states which stop that core clock thus prevent JTAG access.
1188 Idle loops in tasking environments often enter those low power states
1189 via the @code{WFI} instruction (or its coprocessor equivalent, before ARMv7).
1190
1191 You may want to @emph{disable that instruction} in source code,
1192 or otherwise prevent using that state,
1193 to ensure you can get JTAG access at any time.@footnote{As a more
1194 polite alternative, some processors have special debug-oriented
1195 registers which can be used to change various features including
1196 how the low power states are clocked while debugging.
1197 The STM32 DBGMCU_CR register is an example; at the cost of extra
1198 power consumption, JTAG can be used during low power states.}
1199 For example, the OpenOCD @command{halt} command may not
1200 work for an idle processor otherwise.
1201
1202 @item @b{Delay after reset}...
1203 Not all chips have good support for debugger access
1204 right after reset; many LPC2xxx chips have issues here.
1205 Similarly, applications that reconfigure pins used for
1206 JTAG access as they start will also block debugger access.
1207
1208 To work with boards like this, @emph{enable a short delay loop}
1209 the first thing after reset, before "real" startup activities.
1210 For example, one second's delay is usually more than enough
1211 time for a JTAG debugger to attach, so that
1212 early code execution can be debugged
1213 or firmware can be replaced.
1214
1215 @item @b{Debug Communications Channel (DCC)}...
1216 Some processors include mechanisms to send messages over JTAG.
1217 Many ARM cores support these, as do some cores from other vendors.
1218 (OpenOCD may be able to use this DCC internally, speeding up some
1219 operations like writing to memory.)
1220
1221 Your application may want to deliver various debugging messages
1222 over JTAG, by @emph{linking with a small library of code}
1223 provided with OpenOCD and using the utilities there to send
1224 various kinds of message.
1225 @xref{softwaredebugmessagesandtracing,,Software Debug Messages and Tracing}.
1226
1227 @end itemize
1228
1229 @section Target Hardware Setup
1230
1231 Chip vendors often provide software development boards which
1232 are highly configurable, so that they can support all options
1233 that product boards may require. @emph{Make sure that any
1234 jumpers or switches match the system configuration you are
1235 working with.}
1236
1237 Common issues include:
1238
1239 @itemize @bullet
1240
1241 @item @b{JTAG setup} ...
1242 Boards may support more than one JTAG configuration.
1243 Examples include jumpers controlling pullups versus pulldowns
1244 on the nTRST and/or nSRST signals, and choice of connectors
1245 (e.g. which of two headers on the base board,
1246 or one from a daughtercard).
1247 For some Texas Instruments boards, you may need to jumper the
1248 EMU0 and EMU1 signals (which OpenOCD won't currently control).
1249
1250 @item @b{Boot Modes} ...
1251 Complex chips often support multiple boot modes, controlled
1252 by external jumpers. Make sure this is set up correctly.
1253 For example many i.MX boards from NXP need to be jumpered
1254 to "ATX mode" to start booting using the on-chip ROM, when
1255 using second stage bootloader code stored in a NAND flash chip.
1256
1257 Such explicit configuration is common, and not limited to
1258 booting from NAND. You might also need to set jumpers to
1259 start booting using code loaded from an MMC/SD card; external
1260 SPI flash; Ethernet, UART, or USB links; NOR flash; OneNAND
1261 flash; some external host; or various other sources.
1262
1263
1264 @item @b{Memory Addressing} ...
1265 Boards which support multiple boot modes may also have jumpers
1266 to configure memory addressing. One board, for example, jumpers
1267 external chipselect 0 (used for booting) to address either
1268 a large SRAM (which must be pre-loaded via JTAG), NOR flash,
1269 or NAND flash. When it's jumpered to address NAND flash, that
1270 board must also be told to start booting from on-chip ROM.
1271
1272 Your @file{board.cfg} file may also need to be told this jumper
1273 configuration, so that it can know whether to declare NOR flash
1274 using @command{flash bank} or instead declare NAND flash with
1275 @command{nand device}; and likewise which probe to perform in
1276 its @code{reset-init} handler.
1277
1278 A closely related issue is bus width. Jumpers might need to
1279 distinguish between 8 bit or 16 bit bus access for the flash
1280 used to start booting.
1281
1282 @item @b{Peripheral Access} ...
1283 Development boards generally provide access to every peripheral
1284 on the chip, sometimes in multiple modes (such as by providing
1285 multiple audio codec chips).
1286 This interacts with software
1287 configuration of pin multiplexing, where for example a
1288 given pin may be routed either to the MMC/SD controller
1289 or the GPIO controller. It also often interacts with
1290 configuration jumpers. One jumper may be used to route
1291 signals to an MMC/SD card slot or an expansion bus (which
1292 might in turn affect booting); others might control which
1293 audio or video codecs are used.
1294
1295 @end itemize
1296
1297 Plus you should of course have @code{reset-init} event handlers
1298 which set up the hardware to match that jumper configuration.
1299 That includes in particular any oscillator or PLL used to clock
1300 the CPU, and any memory controllers needed to access external
1301 memory and peripherals. Without such handlers, you won't be
1302 able to access those resources without working target firmware
1303 which can do that setup ... this can be awkward when you're
1304 trying to debug that target firmware. Even if there's a ROM
1305 bootloader which handles a few issues, it rarely provides full
1306 access to all board-specific capabilities.
1307
1308
1309 @node Config File Guidelines
1310 @chapter Config File Guidelines
1311
1312 This chapter is aimed at any user who needs to write a config file,
1313 including developers and integrators of OpenOCD and any user who
1314 needs to get a new board working smoothly.
1315 It provides guidelines for creating those files.
1316
1317 You should find the following directories under
1318 @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/scripts}, with config files maintained upstream. Use
1319 them as-is where you can; or as models for new files.
1320 @itemize @bullet
1321 @item @file{interface} ...
1322 These are for debug adapters. Files that specify configuration to use
1323 specific JTAG, SWD and other adapters go here.
1324 @item @file{board} ...
1325 Think Circuit Board, PWA, PCB, they go by many names. Board files
1326 contain initialization items that are specific to a board.
1327
1328 They reuse target configuration files, since the same
1329 microprocessor chips are used on many boards,
1330 but support for external parts varies widely. For
1331 example, the SDRAM initialization sequence for the board, or the type
1332 of external flash and what address it uses. Any initialization
1333 sequence to enable that external flash or SDRAM should be found in the
1334 board file. Boards may also contain multiple targets: two CPUs; or
1335 a CPU and an FPGA.
1336 @item @file{target} ...
1337 Think chip. The ``target'' directory represents the JTAG TAPs
1338 on a chip
1339 which OpenOCD should control, not a board. Two common types of targets
1340 are ARM chips and FPGA or CPLD chips.
1341 When a chip has multiple TAPs (maybe it has both ARM and DSP cores),
1342 the target config file defines all of them.
1343 @item @emph{more} ... browse for other library files which may be useful.
1344 For example, there are various generic and CPU-specific utilities.
1345 @end itemize
1346
1347 The @file{openocd.cfg} user config
1348 file may override features in any of the above files by
1349 setting variables before sourcing the target file, or by adding
1350 commands specific to their situation.
1351
1352 @section Interface Config Files
1353
1354 The user config file
1355 should be able to source one of these files with a command like this:
1356
1357 @example
1358 source [find interface/FOOBAR.cfg]
1359 @end example
1360
1361 A preconfigured interface file should exist for every debug adapter
1362 in use today with OpenOCD.
1363 That said, perhaps some of these config files
1364 have only been used by the developer who created it.
1365
1366 A separate chapter gives information about how to set these up.
1367 @xref{Debug Adapter Configuration}.
1368 Read the OpenOCD source code (and Developer's Guide)
1369 if you have a new kind of hardware interface
1370 and need to provide a driver for it.
1371
1372 @section Board Config Files
1373 @cindex config file, board
1374 @cindex board config file
1375
1376 The user config file
1377 should be able to source one of these files with a command like this:
1378
1379 @example
1380 source [find board/FOOBAR.cfg]
1381 @end example
1382
1383 The point of a board config file is to package everything
1384 about a given board that user config files need to know.
1385 In summary the board files should contain (if present)
1386
1387 @enumerate
1388 @item One or more @command{source [find target/...cfg]} statements
1389 @item NOR flash configuration (@pxref{norconfiguration,,NOR Configuration})
1390 @item NAND flash configuration (@pxref{nandconfiguration,,NAND Configuration})
1391 @item Target @code{reset} handlers for SDRAM and I/O configuration
1392 @item JTAG adapter reset configuration (@pxref{Reset Configuration})
1393 @item All things that are not ``inside a chip''
1394 @end enumerate
1395
1396 Generic things inside target chips belong in target config files,
1397 not board config files. So for example a @code{reset-init} event
1398 handler should know board-specific oscillator and PLL parameters,
1399 which it passes to target-specific utility code.
1400
1401 The most complex task of a board config file is creating such a
1402 @code{reset-init} event handler.
1403 Define those handlers last, after you verify the rest of the board
1404 configuration works.
1405
1406 @subsection Communication Between Config files
1407
1408 In addition to target-specific utility code, another way that
1409 board and target config files communicate is by following a
1410 convention on how to use certain variables.
1411
1412 The full Tcl/Tk language supports ``namespaces'', but Jim-Tcl does not.
1413 Thus the rule we follow in OpenOCD is this: Variables that begin with
1414 a leading underscore are temporary in nature, and can be modified and
1415 used at will within a target configuration file.
1416
1417 Complex board config files can do the things like this,
1418 for a board with three chips:
1419
1420 @example
1421 # Chip #1: PXA270 for network side, big endian
1422 set CHIPNAME network
1423 set ENDIAN big
1424 source [find target/pxa270.cfg]
1425 # on return: _TARGETNAME = network.cpu
1426 # other commands can refer to the "network.cpu" target.
1427 $_TARGETNAME configure .... events for this CPU..
1428
1429 # Chip #2: PXA270 for video side, little endian
1430 set CHIPNAME video
1431 set ENDIAN little
1432 source [find target/pxa270.cfg]
1433 # on return: _TARGETNAME = video.cpu
1434 # other commands can refer to the "video.cpu" target.
1435 $_TARGETNAME configure .... events for this CPU..
1436
1437 # Chip #3: Xilinx FPGA for glue logic
1438 set CHIPNAME xilinx
1439 unset ENDIAN
1440 source [find target/spartan3.cfg]
1441 @end example
1442
1443 That example is oversimplified because it doesn't show any flash memory,
1444 or the @code{reset-init} event handlers to initialize external DRAM
1445 or (assuming it needs it) load a configuration into the FPGA.
1446 Such features are usually needed for low-level work with many boards,
1447 where ``low level'' implies that the board initialization software may
1448 not be working. (That's a common reason to need JTAG tools. Another
1449 is to enable working with microcontroller-based systems, which often
1450 have no debugging support except a JTAG connector.)
1451
1452 Target config files may also export utility functions to board and user
1453 config files. Such functions should use name prefixes, to help avoid
1454 naming collisions.
1455
1456 Board files could also accept input variables from user config files.
1457 For example, there might be a @code{J4_JUMPER} setting used to identify
1458 what kind of flash memory a development board is using, or how to set
1459 up other clocks and peripherals.
1460
1461 @subsection Variable Naming Convention
1462 @cindex variable names
1463
1464 Most boards have only one instance of a chip.
1465 However, it should be easy to create a board with more than
1466 one such chip (as shown above).
1467 Accordingly, we encourage these conventions for naming
1468 variables associated with different @file{target.cfg} files,
1469 to promote consistency and
1470 so that board files can override target defaults.
1471
1472 Inputs to target config files include:
1473
1474 @itemize @bullet
1475 @item @code{CHIPNAME} ...
1476 This gives a name to the overall chip, and is used as part of
1477 tap identifier dotted names.
1478 While the default is normally provided by the chip manufacturer,
1479 board files may need to distinguish between instances of a chip.
1480 @item @code{ENDIAN} ...
1481 By default @option{little} - although chips may hard-wire @option{big}.
1482 Chips that can't change endianess don't need to use this variable.
1483 @item @code{CPUTAPID} ...
1484 When OpenOCD examines the JTAG chain, it can be told verify the
1485 chips against the JTAG IDCODE register.
1486 The target file will hold one or more defaults, but sometimes the
1487 chip in a board will use a different ID (perhaps a newer revision).
1488 @end itemize
1489
1490 Outputs from target config files include:
1491
1492 @itemize @bullet
1493 @item @code{_TARGETNAME} ...
1494 By convention, this variable is created by the target configuration
1495 script. The board configuration file may make use of this variable to
1496 configure things like a ``reset init'' script, or other things
1497 specific to that board and that target.
1498 If the chip has 2 targets, the names are @code{_TARGETNAME0},
1499 @code{_TARGETNAME1}, ... etc.
1500 @end itemize
1501
1502 @subsection The reset-init Event Handler
1503 @cindex event, reset-init
1504 @cindex reset-init handler
1505
1506 Board config files run in the OpenOCD configuration stage;
1507 they can't use TAPs or targets, since they haven't been
1508 fully set up yet.
1509 This means you can't write memory or access chip registers;
1510 you can't even verify that a flash chip is present.
1511 That's done later in event handlers, of which the target @code{reset-init}
1512 handler is one of the most important.
1513
1514 Except on microcontrollers, the basic job of @code{reset-init} event
1515 handlers is setting up flash and DRAM, as normally handled by boot loaders.
1516 Microcontrollers rarely use boot loaders; they run right out of their
1517 on-chip flash and SRAM memory. But they may want to use one of these
1518 handlers too, if just for developer convenience.
1519
1520 @quotation Note
1521 Because this is so very board-specific, and chip-specific, no examples
1522 are included here.
1523 Instead, look at the board config files distributed with OpenOCD.
1524 If you have a boot loader, its source code will help; so will
1525 configuration files for other JTAG tools
1526 (@pxref{translatingconfigurationfiles,,Translating Configuration Files}).
1527 @end quotation
1528
1529 Some of this code could probably be shared between different boards.
1530 For example, setting up a DRAM controller often doesn't differ by
1531 much except the bus width (16 bits or 32?) and memory timings, so a
1532 reusable TCL procedure loaded by the @file{target.cfg} file might take
1533 those as parameters.
1534 Similarly with oscillator, PLL, and clock setup;
1535 and disabling the watchdog.

1537 the next developer doing such work.
1538 (@emph{You might be that next person} trying to reuse init code!)
1539
1540 The last thing normally done in a @code{reset-init} handler is probing
1541 whatever flash memory was configured. For most chips that needs to be
1542 done while the associated target is halted, either because JTAG memory
1543 access uses the CPU or to prevent conflicting CPU access.
1544
1545 @subsection JTAG Clock Rate
1546
1547 Before your @code{reset-init} handler has set up
1548 the PLLs and clocking, you may need to run with
1549 a low JTAG clock rate.
1550 @xref{jtagspeed,,JTAG Speed}.
1551 Then you'd increase that rate after your handler has
1552 made it possible to use the faster JTAG clock.
1553 When the initial low speed is board-specific, for example
1554 because it depends on a board-specific oscillator speed, then
1555 you should probably set it up in the board config file;
1556 if it's target-specific, it belongs in the target config file.
1557
1558 For most ARM-based processors the fastest JTAG clock@footnote{A FAQ
1559 @uref{http://www.arm.com/support/faqdev/4170.html} gives details.}
1560 is one sixth of the CPU clock; or one eighth for ARM11 cores.
1561 Consult chip documentation to determine the peak JTAG clock rate,
1562 which might be less than that.
1563
1564 @quotation Warning
1565 On most ARMs, JTAG clock detection is coupled to the core clock, so
1566 software using a @option{wait for interrupt} operation blocks JTAG access.
1567 Adaptive clocking provides a partial workaround, but a more complete
1568 solution just avoids using that instruction with JTAG debuggers.
1569 @end quotation
1570
1571 If both the chip and the board support adaptive clocking,
1572 use the @command{jtag_rclk}
1573 command, in case your board is used with JTAG adapter which
1574 also supports it. Otherwise use @command{adapter_khz}.
1575 Set the slow rate at the beginning of the reset sequence,
1576 and the faster rate as soon as the clocks are at full speed.

1578 @anchor{theinitboardprocedure}
1579 @subsection The init_board procedure
1580 @cindex init_board procedure
1581
1582 The concept of @code{init_board} procedure is very similar to @code{init_targets}
1583 (@xref{theinittargetsprocedure,,The init_targets procedure}.) - it's a replacement of ``linear''
1584 configuration scripts. This procedure is meant to be executed when OpenOCD enters run stage
1585 (@xref{enteringtherunstage,,Entering the Run Stage},) after @code{init_targets}. The idea to have
1586 separate @code{init_targets} and @code{init_board} procedures is to allow the first one to configure
1587 everything target specific (internal flash, internal RAM, etc.) and the second one to configure
1588 everything board specific (reset signals, chip frequency, reset-init event handler, external memory, etc.).
1589 Additionally ``linear'' board config file will most likely fail when target config file uses
1590 @code{init_targets} scheme (``linear'' script is executed before @code{init} and @code{init_targets} - after),
1591 so separating these two configuration stages is very convenient, as the easiest way to overcome this
1592 problem is to convert board config file to use @code{init_board} procedure. Board config scripts don't
1593 need to override @code{init_targets} defined in target config files when they only need to add some specifics.
1594
1595 Just as @code{init_targets}, the @code{init_board} procedure can be overridden by ``next level'' script (which sources
1596 the original), allowing greater code reuse.
1597
1598 @example
1599 ### board_file.cfg ###
1600
1601 # source target file that does most of the config in init_targets
1602 source [find target/target.cfg]
1603
1604 proc enable_fast_clock @{@} @{
1605 # enables fast on-board clock source
1606 # configures the chip to use it
1607 @}
1608
1609 # initialize only board specifics - reset, clock, adapter frequency
1610 proc init_board @{@} @{

1612
1613 $_TARGETNAME configure -event reset-start @{

1622 @end example
1623
1624 @section Target Config Files
1625 @cindex config file, target
1626 @cindex target config file
1627
1628 Board config files communicate with target config files using
1629 naming conventions as described above, and may source one or
1630 more target config files like this:
1631
1632 @example
1633 source [find target/FOOBAR.cfg]
1634 @end example
1635
1636 The point of a target config file is to package everything
1637 about a given chip that board config files need to know.
1638 In summary the target files should contain
1639
1640 @enumerate
1641 @item Set defaults
1642 @item Add TAPs to the scan chain
1643 @item Add CPU targets (includes GDB support)
1644 @item CPU/Chip/CPU-Core specific features
1645 @item On-Chip flash
1646 @end enumerate
1647
1648 As a rule of thumb, a target file sets up only one chip.
1649 For a microcontroller, that will often include a single TAP,
1650 which is a CPU needing a GDB target, and its on-chip flash.
1651
1652 More complex chips may include multiple TAPs, and the target
1653 config file may need to define them all before OpenOCD
1654 can talk to the chip.
1655 For example, some phone chips have JTAG scan chains that include
1656 an ARM core for operating system use, a DSP,
1657 another ARM core embedded in an image processing engine,
1658 and other processing engines.
1659
1660 @subsection Default Value Boiler Plate Code
1661
1662 All target configuration files should start with code like this,
1663 letting board config files express environment-specific
1664 differences in how things should be set up.
1665
1666 @example
1667 # Boards may override chip names, perhaps based on role,
1668 # but the default should match what the vendor uses
1669 if @{ [info exists CHIPNAME] @} @{
1670 set _CHIPNAME $CHIPNAME
1671 @} else @{
1672 set _CHIPNAME sam7x256
1673 @}
1674
1675 # ONLY use ENDIAN with targets that can change it.
1676 if @{ [info exists ENDIAN] @} @{
1677 set _ENDIAN $ENDIAN
1678 @} else @{
1679 set _ENDIAN little
1680 @}
1681
1682 # TAP identifiers may change as chips mature, for example with
1683 # new revision fields (the "3" here). Pick a good default; you
1684 # can pass several such identifiers to the "jtag newtap" command.
1685 if @{ [info exists CPUTAPID ] @} @{
1686 set _CPUTAPID $CPUTAPID
1687 @} else @{
1688 set _CPUTAPID 0x3f0f0f0f
1689 @}
1690 @end example
1691 @c but 0x3f0f0f0f is for an str73x part ...
1692
1693 @emph{Remember:} Board config files may include multiple target
1694 config files, or the same target file multiple times
1695 (changing at least @code{CHIPNAME}).
1696
1697 Likewise, the target configuration file should define
1698 @code{_TARGETNAME} (or @code{_TARGETNAME0} etc) and
1699 use it later on when defining debug targets:
1700
1701 @example
1702 set _TARGETNAME $_CHIPNAME.cpu
1703 target create $_TARGETNAME arm7tdmi -chain-position $_TARGETNAME
1704 @end example
1705
1706 @subsection Adding TAPs to the Scan Chain
1707 After the ``defaults'' are set up,
1708 add the TAPs on each chip to the JTAG scan chain.
1709 @xref{TAP Declaration}, and the naming convention
1710 for taps.
1711
1712 In the simplest case the chip has only one TAP,
1713 probably for a CPU or FPGA.
1714 The config file for the Atmel AT91SAM7X256
1715 looks (in part) like this:
1716
1717 @example
1718 jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME cpu -irlen 4 -expected-id $_CPUTAPID
1719 @end example
1720
1721 A board with two such at91sam7 chips would be able
1722 to source such a config file twice, with different
1723 values for @code{CHIPNAME}, so
1724 it adds a different TAP each time.
1725
1726 If there are nonzero @option{-expected-id} values,
1727 OpenOCD attempts to verify the actual tap id against those values.
1728 It will issue error messages if there is mismatch, which
1729 can help to pinpoint problems in OpenOCD configurations.
1730
1731 @example
1732 JTAG tap: sam7x256.cpu tap/device found: 0x3f0f0f0f
1733 (Manufacturer: 0x787, Part: 0xf0f0, Version: 0x3)
1734 ERROR: Tap: sam7x256.cpu - Expected id: 0x12345678, Got: 0x3f0f0f0f
1735 ERROR: expected: mfg: 0x33c, part: 0x2345, ver: 0x1
1736 ERROR: got: mfg: 0x787, part: 0xf0f0, ver: 0x3
1737 @end example
1738
1739 There are more complex examples too, with chips that have
1740 multiple TAPs. Ones worth looking at include:
1741
1742 @itemize
1743 @item @file{target/omap3530.cfg} -- with disabled ARM and DSP,
1744 plus a JRC to enable them
1745 @item @file{target/str912.cfg} -- with flash, CPU, and boundary scan
1746 @item @file{target/ti_dm355.cfg} -- with ETM, ARM, and JRC (this JRC
1747 is not currently used)
1748 @end itemize
1749
1750 @subsection Add CPU targets
1751
1752 After adding a TAP for a CPU, you should set it up so that
1753 GDB and other commands can use it.
1754 @xref{CPU Configuration}.
1755 For the at91sam7 example above, the command can look like this;
1756 note that @code{$_ENDIAN} is not needed, since OpenOCD defaults
1757 to little endian, and this chip doesn't support changing that.
1758
1759 @example
1760 set _TARGETNAME $_CHIPNAME.cpu
1761 target create $_TARGETNAME arm7tdmi -chain-position $_TARGETNAME
1762 @end example
1763
1764 Work areas are small RAM areas associated with CPU targets.
1765 They are used by OpenOCD to speed up downloads,
1766 and to download small snippets of code to program flash chips.
1767 If the chip includes a form of ``on-chip-ram'' - and many do - define
1768 a work area if you can.
1769 Again using the at91sam7 as an example, this can look like:
1770
1771 @example
1772 $_TARGETNAME configure -work-area-phys 0x00200000 \
1773 -work-area-size 0x4000 -work-area-backup 0
1774 @end example
1775
1776 @anchor{definecputargetsworkinginsmp}
1777 @subsection Define CPU targets working in SMP
1778 @cindex SMP
1779 After setting targets, you can define a list of targets working in SMP.
1780
1781 @example
1782 set _TARGETNAME_1 $_CHIPNAME.cpu1
1783 set _TARGETNAME_2 $_CHIPNAME.cpu2
1784 target create $_TARGETNAME_1 cortex_a -chain-position $_CHIPNAME.dap \
1785 -coreid 0 -dbgbase $_DAP_DBG1
1786 target create $_TARGETNAME_2 cortex_a -chain-position $_CHIPNAME.dap \
1787 -coreid 1 -dbgbase $_DAP_DBG2
1788 #define 2 targets working in smp.
1789 target smp $_CHIPNAME.cpu2 $_CHIPNAME.cpu1
1790 @end example
1791 In the above example on cortex_a, 2 cpus are working in SMP.
1792 In SMP only one GDB instance is created and :
1793 @itemize @bullet
1794 @item a set of hardware breakpoint sets the same breakpoint on all targets in the list.
1795 @item halt command triggers the halt of all targets in the list.
1796 @item resume command triggers the write context and the restart of all targets in the list.
1797 @item following a breakpoint: the target stopped by the breakpoint is displayed to the GDB session.
1798 @item dedicated GDB serial protocol packets are implemented for switching/retrieving the target
1799 displayed by the GDB session @pxref{usingopenocdsmpwithgdb,,Using OpenOCD SMP with GDB}.
1800 @end itemize
1801
1802 The SMP behaviour can be disabled/enabled dynamically. On cortex_a following
1803 command have been implemented.
1804 @itemize @bullet
1805 @item cortex_a smp on : enable SMP mode, behaviour is as described above.
1806 @item cortex_a smp off : disable SMP mode, the current target is the one
1807 displayed in the GDB session, only this target is now controlled by GDB
1808 session. This behaviour is useful during system boot up.
1809 @item cortex_a smp : display current SMP mode.
1810 @item cortex_a smp_gdb : display/fix the core id displayed in GDB session see
1811 following example.
1812 @end itemize
1813
1814 @example
1815 >cortex_a smp_gdb
1816 gdb coreid 0 -> -1
1817 #0 : coreid 0 is displayed to GDB ,
1818 #-> -1 : next resume triggers a real resume
1819 > cortex_a smp_gdb 1
1820 gdb coreid 0 -> 1
1821 #0 :coreid 0 is displayed to GDB ,
1822 #->1 : next resume displays coreid 1 to GDB
1823 > resume
1824 > cortex_a smp_gdb
1825 gdb coreid 1 -> 1
1826 #1 :coreid 1 is displayed to GDB ,
1827 #->1 : next resume displays coreid 1 to GDB
1828 > cortex_a smp_gdb -1
1829 gdb coreid 1 -> -1
1830 #1 :coreid 1 is displayed to GDB,
1831 #->-1 : next resume triggers a real resume
1832 @end example
1833
1834
1835 @subsection Chip Reset Setup
1836
1837 As a rule, you should put the @command{reset_config} command
1838 into the board file. Most things you think you know about a
1839 chip can be tweaked by the board.
1840
1841 Some chips have specific ways the TRST and SRST signals are
1842 managed. In the unusual case that these are @emph{chip specific}
1843 and can never be changed by board wiring, they could go here.
1844 For example, some chips can't support JTAG debugging without
1845 both signals.
1846
1847 Provide a @code{reset-assert} event handler if you can.
1848 Such a handler uses JTAG operations to reset the target,
1849 letting this target config be used in systems which don't
1850 provide the optional SRST signal, or on systems where you
1851 don't want to reset all targets at once.
1852 Such a handler might write to chip registers to force a reset,
1853 use a JRC to do that (preferable -- the target may be wedged!),
1854 or force a watchdog timer to trigger.
1855 (For Cortex-M targets, this is not necessary. The target
1856 driver knows how to use trigger an NVIC reset when SRST is
1857 not available.)
1858
1859 Some chips need special attention during reset handling if
1860 they're going to be used with JTAG.
1861 An example might be needing to send some commands right
1862 after the target's TAP has been reset, providing a
1863 @code{reset-deassert-post} event handler that writes a chip
1864 register to report that JTAG debugging is being done.
1865 Another would be reconfiguring the watchdog so that it stops
1866 counting while the core is halted in the debugger.
1867
1868 JTAG clocking constraints often change during reset, and in
1869 some cases target config files (rather than board config files)
1870 are the right places to handle some of those issues.
1871 For example, immediately after reset most chips run using a
1872 slower clock than they will use later.
1873 That means that after reset (and potentially, as OpenOCD
1874 first starts up) they must use a slower JTAG clock rate
1875 than they will use later.
1876 @xref{jtagspeed,,JTAG Speed}.
1877
1878 @quotation Important
1879 When you are debugging code that runs right after chip
1880 reset, getting these issues right is critical.
1881 In particular, if you see intermittent failures when
1882 OpenOCD verifies the scan chain after reset,
1883 look at how you are setting up JTAG clocking.
1884 @end quotation
1885
1886 @anchor{theinittargetsprocedure}
1887 @subsection The init_targets procedure
1888 @cindex init_targets procedure
1889
1890 Target config files can either be ``linear'' (script executed line-by-line when parsed in
1891 configuration stage, @xref{configurationstage,,Configuration Stage},) or they can contain a special
1892 procedure called @code{init_targets}, which will be executed when entering run stage
1893 (after parsing all config files or after @code{init} command, @xref{enteringtherunstage,,Entering the Run Stage}.)
1894 Such procedure can be overridden by ``next level'' script (which sources the original).
1895 This concept facilitates code reuse when basic target config files provide generic configuration
1896 procedures and @code{init_targets} procedure, which can then be sourced and enhanced or changed in
1897 a ``more specific'' target config file. This is not possible with ``linear'' config scripts,
1898 because sourcing them executes every initialization commands they provide.
1899
1900 @example
1901 ### generic_file.cfg ###
1902
1903 proc setup_my_chip @{chip_name flash_size ram_size@} @{
1904 # basic initialization procedure ...

1919 @}
1920 @end example
1921
1922 The easiest way to convert ``linear'' config files to @code{init_targets} version is to
1923 enclose every line of ``code'' (i.e. not @code{source} commands, procedures, etc.) in this procedure.
1924
1925 For an example of this scheme see LPC2000 target config files.
1926
1927 The @code{init_boards} procedure is a similar concept concerning board config files
1928 (@xref{theinitboardprocedure,,The init_board procedure}.)

1930 @anchor{theinittargeteventsprocedure}
1931 @subsection The init_target_events procedure
1932 @cindex init_target_events procedure
1933
1934 A special procedure called @code{init_target_events} is run just after
1935 @code{init_targets} (@xref{theinittargetsprocedure,,The init_targets
1936 procedure}.) and before @code{init_board}
1937 (@xref{theinitboardprocedure,,The init_board procedure}.) It is used
1938 to set up default target events for the targets that do not have those
1939 events already assigned.
1940
1941 @subsection ARM Core Specific Hacks
1942
1943 If the chip has a DCC, enable it. If the chip is an ARM9 with some
1944 special high speed download features - enable it.
1945
1946 If present, the MMU, the MPU and the CACHE should be disabled.
1947
1948 Some ARM cores are equipped with trace support, which permits
1949 examination of the instruction and data bus activity. Trace
1950 activity is controlled through an ``Embedded Trace Module'' (ETM)
1951 on one of the core's scan chains. The ETM emits voluminous data
1952 through a ``trace port''. (@xref{armhardwaretracing,,ARM Hardware Tracing}.)
1953 If you are using an external trace port,
1954 configure it in your board config file.
1955 If you are using an on-chip ``Embedded Trace Buffer'' (ETB),
1956 configure it in your target config file.
1957
1958 @example
1959 etm config $_TARGETNAME 16 normal full etb

1982 @cindex translation
1983 If you have a configuration file for another hardware debugger
1984 or toolset (Abatron, BDI2000, BDI3000, CCS,
1985 Lauterbach, SEGGER, Macraigor, etc.), translating
1986 it into OpenOCD syntax is often quite straightforward. The most tricky
1987 part of creating a configuration script is oftentimes the reset init
1988 sequence where e.g. PLLs, DRAM and the like is set up.
1989
1990 One trick that you can use when translating is to write small
1991 Tcl procedures to translate the syntax into OpenOCD syntax. This
1992 can avoid manual translation errors and make it easier to
1993 convert other scripts later on.

2036 inside startup scripts.
2037
2038 In this manual, the definition of a configuration command is
2039 presented as a @emph{Config Command}, not as a @emph{Command}
2040 which may be issued interactively.
2041 The runtime @command{help} command also highlights configuration
2042 commands, and those which may be issued at any time.
2043
2044 Those configuration commands include declaration of TAPs,
2045 flash banks,
2046 the interface used for JTAG communication,
2047 and other basic setup.
2048 The server must leave the configuration stage before it
2049 may access or activate TAPs.
2050 After it leaves this stage, configuration commands may no
2051 longer be issued.
2052
2053 @anchor{enteringtherunstage}
2054 @section Entering the Run Stage
2055
2056 The first thing OpenOCD does after leaving the configuration
2057 stage is to verify that it can talk to the scan chain
2058 (list of TAPs) which has been configured.
2059 It will warn if it doesn't find TAPs it expects to find,
2060 or finds TAPs that aren't supposed to be there.
2061 You should see no errors at this point.
2062 If you see errors, resolve them by correcting the
2063 commands you used to configure the server.
2064 Common errors include using an initial JTAG speed that's too
2065 fast, and not providing the right IDCODE values for the TAPs
2066 on the scan chain.
2067
2068 Once OpenOCD has entered the run stage, a number of commands
2069 become available.
2070 A number of these relate to the debug targets you may have declared.
2071 For example, the @command{mww} command will not be available until
2072 a target has been successfully instantiated.
2073 If you want to use those commands, you may need to force
2074 entry to the run stage.
2075
2076 @deffn {Config Command} init
2077 This command terminates the configuration stage and
2078 enters the run stage. This helps when you need to have
2079 the startup scripts manage tasks such as resetting the target,
2080 programming flash, etc. To reset the CPU upon startup, add "init" and
2081 "reset" at the end of the config script or at the end of the OpenOCD
2082 command line using the @option{-c} command line switch.
2083
2084 If this command does not appear in any startup/configuration file
2085 OpenOCD executes the command for you after processing all
2086 configuration files and/or command line options.
2087
2088 @b{NOTE:} This command normally occurs at or near the end of your
2089 openocd.cfg file to force OpenOCD to ``initialize'' and make the
2090 targets ready. For example: If your openocd.cfg file needs to
2091 read/write memory on your target, @command{init} must occur before
2092 the memory read/write commands. This includes @command{nand probe}.
2093 @end deffn
2094
2095 @deffn {Overridable Procedure} jtag_init
2096 This is invoked at server startup to verify that it can talk
2097 to the scan chain (list of TAPs) which has been configured.
2098
2099 The default implementation first tries @command{jtag arp_init},
2100 which uses only a lightweight JTAG reset before examining the
2101 scan chain.
2102 If that fails, it tries again, using a harder reset
2103 from the overridable procedure @command{init_reset}.
2104
2105 Implementations must have verified the JTAG scan chain before
2106 they return.
2107 This is done by calling @command{jtag arp_init}
2108 (or @command{jtag arp_init-reset}).

2113 @cindex TCP port
2114 @cindex server
2115 @cindex port
2116 @cindex security
2117 The OpenOCD server accepts remote commands in several syntaxes.
2118 Each syntax uses a different TCP/IP port, which you may specify
2119 only during configuration (before those ports are opened).
2120
2121 For reasons including security, you may wish to prevent remote
2122 access using one or more of these ports.
2123 In such cases, just specify the relevant port number as "disabled".
2124 If you disable all access through TCP/IP, you will need to
2125 use the command line @option{-pipe} option.
2126
2127 @anchor{gdb_port}
2128 @deffn {Command} gdb_port [number]
2129 @cindex GDB server
2130 Normally gdb listens to a TCP/IP port, but GDB can also
2131 communicate via pipes(stdin/out or named pipes). The name
2132 "gdb_port" stuck because it covers probably more than 90% of
2133 the normal use cases.
2134
2135 No arguments reports GDB port. "pipe" means listen to stdin
2136 output to stdout, an integer is base port number, "disabled"
2137 disables the gdb server.
2138
2139 When using "pipe", also use log_output to redirect the log
2140 output to a file so as not to flood the stdin/out pipes.
2141
2142 The -p/--pipe option is deprecated and a warning is printed
2143 as it is equivalent to passing in -c "gdb_port pipe; log_output openocd.log".
2144
2145 Any other string is interpreted as named pipe to listen to.
2146 Output pipe is the same name as input pipe, but with 'o' appended,
2147 e.g. /var/gdb, /var/gdbo.
2148
2149 The GDB port for the first target will be the base port, the
2150 second target will listen on gdb_port + 1, and so on.
2151 When not specified during the configuration stage,
2152 the port @var{number} defaults to 3333.
2153 When @var{number} is not a numeric value, incrementing it to compute
2154 the next port number does not work. In this case, specify the proper
2155 @var{number} for each target by using the option @code{-gdb-port} of the
2156 commands @command{target create} or @command{$target_name configure}.
2157 @xref{gdbportoverride,,option -gdb-port}.
2158
2159 Note: when using "gdb_port pipe", increasing the default remote timeout in
2160 gdb (with 'set remotetimeout') is recommended. An insufficient timeout may
2161 cause initialization to fail with "Unknown remote qXfer reply: OK".

2243 @section Event Polling
2244
2245 Hardware debuggers are parts of asynchronous systems,
2246 where significant events can happen at any time.
2247 The OpenOCD server needs to detect some of these events,
2248 so it can report them to through TCL command line
2249 or to GDB.
2250
2251 Examples of such events include:
2252
2253 @itemize
2254 @item One of the targets can stop running ... maybe it triggers
2255 a code breakpoint or data watchpoint, or halts itself.
2256 @item Messages may be sent over ``debug message'' channels ... many
2257 targets support such messages sent over JTAG,
2258 for receipt by the person debugging or tools.
2259 @item Loss of power ... some adapters can detect these events.
2260 @item Resets not issued through JTAG ... such reset sources
2261 can include button presses or other system hardware, sometimes
2262 including the target itself (perhaps through a watchdog).
2263 @item Debug instrumentation sometimes supports event triggering
2264 such as ``trace buffer full'' (so it can quickly be emptied)
2265 or other signals (to correlate with code behavior).
2266 @end itemize
2267
2268 None of those events are signaled through standard JTAG signals.
2269 However, most conventions for JTAG connectors include voltage
2270 level and system reset (SRST) signal detection.
2271 Some connectors also include instrumentation signals, which
2272 can imply events when those signals are inputs.
2273
2274 In general, OpenOCD needs to periodically check for those events,
2275 either by looking at the status of signals on the JTAG connector
2276 or by sending synchronous ``tell me your status'' JTAG requests
2277 to the various active targets.
2278 There is a command to manage and monitor that polling,
2279 which is normally done in the background.
2280
2281 @deffn Command poll [@option{on}|@option{off}]
2282 Poll the current target for its current state.
2283 (Also, @pxref{targetcurstate,,target curstate}.)
2284 If that target is in debug mode, architecture
2285 specific information about the current state is printed.
2286 An optional parameter
2287 allows background polling to be enabled and disabled.
2288
2289 You could use this from the TCL command shell, or
2290 from GDB using @command{monitor poll} command.
2291 Leave background polling enabled while you're using GDB.
2292 @example
2293 > poll
2294 background polling: on
2295 target state: halted
2296 target halted in ARM state due to debug-request, \

2309 Correctly installing OpenOCD includes making your operating system give
2310 OpenOCD access to debug adapters. Once that has been done, Tcl commands
2311 are used to select which one is used, and to configure how it is used.
2312
2313 @quotation Note
2314 Because OpenOCD started out with a focus purely on JTAG, you may find
2315 places where it wrongly presumes JTAG is the only transport protocol
2316 in use. Be aware that recent versions of OpenOCD are removing that
2317 limitation. JTAG remains more functional than most other transports.
2318 Other transports do not support boundary scan operations, or may be
2319 specific to a given chip vendor. Some might be usable only for
2320 programming flash memory, instead of also for debugging.
2321 @end quotation
2322
2323 Debug Adapters/Interfaces/Dongles are normally configured
2324 through commands in an interface configuration
2325 file which is sourced by your @file{openocd.cfg} file, or

2332 These commands tell
2333 OpenOCD what type of JTAG adapter you have, and how to talk to it.

2335
2336 @example
2337 # jlink interface

2452 @deffn {Interface Driver} {ftdi}
2453 This driver is for adapters using the MPSSE (Multi-Protocol Synchronous Serial
2454 Engine) mode built into many FTDI chips, such as the FT2232, FT4232 and FT232H.
2455
2456 The driver is using libusb-1.0 in asynchronous mode to talk to the FTDI device,
2457 bypassing intermediate libraries like libftdi or D2XX.
2458
2459 Support for new FTDI based adapters can be added completely through
2460 configuration files, without the need to patch and rebuild OpenOCD.
2461
2462 The driver uses a signal abstraction to enable Tcl configuration files to
2463 define outputs for one or several FTDI GPIO. These outputs can then be
2464 controlled using the @command{ftdi_set_signal} command. Special signal names
2465 are reserved for nTRST, nSRST and LED (for blink) so that they, if defined,
2466 will be used for their customary purpose. Inputs can be read using the
2467 @command{ftdi_get_signal} command.
2468
2469 To support SWD, a signal named SWD_EN must be defined. It is set to 1 when the
2470 SWD protocol is selected. When set, the adapter should route the SWDIO pin to
2471 the data input. An SWDIO_OE signal, if defined, will be set to 1 or 0 as
2472 required by the protocol, to tell the adapter to drive the data output onto
2473 the SWDIO pin or keep the SWDIO pin Hi-Z, respectively.
2474
2475 Depending on the type of buffer attached to the FTDI GPIO, the outputs have to
2476 be controlled differently. In order to support tristateable signals such as
2477 nSRST, both a data GPIO and an output-enable GPIO can be specified for each
2478 signal. The following output buffer configurations are supported:
2479
2480 @itemize @minus
2481 @item Push-pull with one FTDI output as (non-)inverted data line
2482 @item Open drain with one FTDI output as (non-)inverted output-enable
2483 @item Tristate with one FTDI output as (non-)inverted data line and another
2484 FTDI output as (non-)inverted output-enable
2485 @item Unbuffered, using the FTDI GPIO as a tristate output directly by
2486 switching data and direction as necessary
2487 @end itemize

2490 before initializing the JTAG scan chain:
2491
2492 @deffn {Config Command} {ftdi_vid_pid} [vid pid]+

2535 Each value is a 16-bit number corresponding to the concatenation of the high
2536 and low FTDI GPIO registers. The values should be selected based on the
2537 schematics of the adapter, such that all signals are set to safe levels with
2538 minimal impact on the target system. Avoid floating inputs, conflicting outputs
2539 and initially asserted reset signals.

2542 @deffn {Config Command} {ftdi_layout_signal} name [@option{-data}|@option{-ndata} data_mask] [@option{-input}|@option{-ninput} input_mask] [@option{-oe}|@option{-noe} oe_mask] [@option{-alias}|@option{-nalias} name]
2543 Creates a signal with the specified @var{name}, controlled by one or more FTDI
2544 GPIO pins via a range of possible buffer connections. The masks are FTDI GPIO
2545 register bitmasks to tell the driver the connection and type of the output
2546 buffer driving the respective signal. @var{data_mask} is the bitmask for the
2547 pin(s) connected to the data input of the output buffer. @option{-ndata} is
2548 used with inverting data inputs and @option{-data} with non-inverting inputs.
2549 The @option{-oe} (or @option{-noe}) option tells where the output-enable (or
2550 not-output-enable) input to the output buffer is connected. The options
2551 @option{-input} and @option{-ninput} specify the bitmask for pins to be read
2552 with the method @command{ftdi_get_signal}.
2553
2554 Both @var{data_mask} and @var{oe_mask} need not be specified. For example, a
2555 simple open-collector transistor driver would be specified with @option{-oe}
2556 only. In that case the signal can only be set to drive low or to Hi-Z and the
2557 driver will complain if the signal is set to drive high. Which means that if
2558 it's a reset signal, @command{reset_config} must be specified as
2559 @option{srst_open_drain}, not @option{srst_push_pull}.
2560
2561 A special case is provided when @option{-data} and @option{-oe} is set to the
2562 same bitmask. Then the FTDI pin is considered being connected straight to the
2563 target without any buffer. The FTDI pin is then switched between output and
2564 input as necessary to provide the full set of low, high and Hi-Z
2565 characteristics. In all other cases, the pins specified in a signal definition
2566 are always driven by the FTDI.
2567
2568 If @option{-alias} or @option{-nalias} is used, the signal is created
2569 identical (or with data inverted) to an already specified signal
2570 @var{name}.

2588
2589 Due to signal propagation delays, sampling TDO on rising TCK can become quite
2590 peculiar at high JTAG clock speeds. However, FTDI chips offer a possibility to sample
2591 TDO on falling edge of TCK. With some board/adapter configurations, this may increase

2807 available for each hardware version. However the current V8 is a moving
2808 target, and SEGGER firmware versions released after the OpenOCD was
2809 released may not be compatible. In such cases it is recommended to
2810 revert to the last known functional version. For 0.5.0, this is from
2811 "Feb 8 2012 14:30:39", packed with 4.42c. For 0.6.0, the last known

2888 This driver is for Cypress Semiconductor's KitProg adapters. The KitProg is an
2889 SWD-only adapter that is designed to be used with Cypress's PSoC and PRoC device
2890 families, but it is possible to use it with some other devices. If you are using
2891 this adapter with a PSoC or a PRoC, you may need to add
2892 @command{kitprog_init_acquire_psoc} or @command{kitprog acquire_psoc} to your
2893 configuration script.
2894
2895 Note that this driver is for the proprietary KitProg protocol, not the CMSIS-DAP
2896 mode introduced in firmware 2.14. If the KitProg is in CMSIS-DAP mode, it cannot
2897 be used with this driver, and must either be used with the cmsis-dap driver or
2898 switched back to KitProg mode. See the Cypress KitProg User Guide for
2899 instructions on how to switch KitProg modes.

2901 Known limitations:
2902 @itemize @bullet
2903 @item The frequency of SWCLK cannot be configured, and varies between 1.6 MHz
2904 and 2.7 MHz.
2905 @item For firmware versions below 2.14, "JTAG to SWD" sequences are replaced by
2906 "SWD line reset" in the driver. This is for two reasons. First, the KitProg does
2907 not support sending arbitrary SWD sequences, and only firmware 2.14 and later
2908 implement both "JTAG to SWD" and "SWD line reset" in firmware. Earlier firmware
2909 versions only implement "SWD line reset". Second, due to a firmware quirk, an
2910 SWD sequence must be sent after every target reset in order to re-establish
2911 communications with the target.
2912 @item Due in part to the limitation above, KitProg devices with firmware below
2913 version 2.14 will need to use @command{kitprog_init_acquire_psoc} in order to
2914 communicate with PSoC 5LP devices. This is because, assuming debug is not
2915 disabled on the PSoC, the PSoC 5LP needs its JTAG interface switched to SWD
2916 mode before communication can begin, but prior to firmware 2.14, "JTAG to SWD"
2917 could only be sent with an acquisition sequence.

2986 @option{parport_port 0} (the default). If @option{parport_port 0x378} is specified
2987 you may encounter a problem.

2989
2990 @deffn Command {parport_toggling_time} [nanoseconds]
2991 Displays how many nanoseconds the hardware needs to toggle TCK;
2992 the parport driver uses this value to obey the
2993 @command{adapter_khz} configuration.
2994 When the optional @var{nanoseconds} parameter is given,
2995 that setting is changed before displaying the current value.
2996
2997 The default setting should work reasonably well on commodity PC hardware.
2998 However, you may want to calibrate for your specific hardware.
2999 @quotation Tip
3000 To measure the toggling time with a logic analyzer or a digital storage
3001 oscilloscope, follow the procedure below:
3002 @example
3003 > parport_toggling_time 1000
3004 > adapter_khz 500
3005 @end example
3006 This sets the maximum JTAG clock speed of the hardware, but
3007 the actual speed probably deviates from the requested 500 kHz.
3008 Now, measure the time between the two closest spaced TCK transitions.
3009 You can use @command{runtest 1000} or something similar to generate a
3010 large set of samples.
3011 Update the setting to match your measurement:
3012 @example
3013 > parport_toggling_time <measured nanoseconds>
3014 @end example
3015 Now the clock speed will be a better match for @command{adapter_khz rate}
3016 commands given in OpenOCD scripts and event handlers.
3017
3018 You can do something similar with many digital multimeters, but note
3019 that you'll probably need to run the clock continuously for several
3020 seconds before it decides what clock rate to show. Adjust the
3021 toggling time up or down until the measured clock rate is a good
3022 match for the adapter_khz rate you specified; be conservative.

3172 As noted earlier, depending on the version of OpenOCD you use,

3175 communicate with debug targets (or perhaps to program flash memory).

3185 transport. The transport must be supported by the debug adapter
3186 hardware and by the version of OpenOCD you are using (including the
3187 adapter's driver).
3188
3189 If no transport has been selected and no @option{transport_name} is
3190 provided, @command{transport select} auto-selects the first transport
3191 supported by the debug adapter.

3201 JTAG transports expose a chain of one or more Test Access Points (TAPs),
3202 each of which must be explicitly declared.
3203 JTAG supports both debugging and boundary scan testing.
3204 Flash programming support is built on top of debug support.
3205
3206 JTAG transport is selected with the command @command{transport select
3207 jtag}. Unless your adapter uses @ref{hla_interface,the hla interface
3208 driver}, in which case the command is @command{transport select
3209 hla_jtag}.

3214 SWD (Serial Wire Debug) is an ARM-specific transport which exposes one
3215 Debug Access Point (DAP, which must be explicitly declared.
3216 (SWD uses fewer signal wires than JTAG.)
3217 SWD is debug-oriented, and does not support boundary scan testing.
3218 Flash programming support is built on top of debug support.
3219 (Some processors support both JTAG and SWD.)
3220
3221 SWD transport is selected with the command @command{transport select
3222 swd}. Unless your adapter uses @ref{hla_interface,the hla interface
3223 driver}, in which case the command is @command{transport select
3224 hla_swd}.

3241 which uses four wire signaling. Some processors use it as part of a
3242 solution for flash programming.
3243
3244 @anchor{jtagspeed}
3245 @section JTAG Speed
3246 JTAG clock setup is part of system setup.
3247 It @emph{does not belong with interface setup} since any interface
3248 only knows a few of the constraints for the JTAG clock speed.
3249 Sometimes the JTAG speed is
3250 changed during the target initialization process: (1) slow at
3251 reset, (2) program the CPU clocks, (3) run fast.
3252 Both the "slow" and "fast" clock rates are functions of the
3253 oscillators used, the chip, the board design, and sometimes
3254 power management software that may be active.
3255
3256 The speed used during reset, and the scan chain verification which
3257 follows reset, can be adjusted using a @code{reset-start}
3258 target event handler.
3259 It can then be reconfigured to a faster speed by a
3260 @code{reset-init} target event handler after it reprograms those
3261 CPU clocks, or manually (if something else, such as a boot loader,
3262 sets up those clocks).
3263 @xref{targetevents,,Target Events}.
3264 When the initial low JTAG speed is a chip characteristic, perhaps
3265 because of a required oscillator speed, provide such a handler
3266 in the target config file.
3267 When that speed is a function of a board-specific characteristic
3268 such as which speed oscillator is used, it belongs in the board
3269 config file instead.
3270 In both cases it's safest to also set the initial JTAG clock rate
3271 to that same slow speed, so that OpenOCD never starts up using a
3272 clock speed that's faster than the scan chain can support.
3273
3274 @example
3275 jtag_rclk 3000
3276 $_TARGET.cpu configure -event reset-start @{ jtag_rclk 3000 @}
3277 @end example
3278
3279 If your system supports adaptive clocking (RTCK), configuring
3280 JTAG to use that is probably the most robust approach.
3281 However, it introduces delays to synchronize clocks; so it
3282 may not be the fastest solution.
3283
3284 @b{NOTE:} Script writers should consider using @command{jtag_rclk}
3285 instead of @command{adapter_khz}, but only for (ARM) cores and boards
3286 which support adaptive clocking.
3287
3288 @deffn {Command} adapter_khz max_speed_kHz
3289 A non-zero speed is in KHZ. Hence: 3000 is 3mhz.
3290 JTAG interfaces usually support a limited number of
3291 speeds. The speed actually used won't be faster
3292 than the speed specified.
3293
3294 Chip data sheets generally include a top JTAG clock rate.
3295 The actual rate is often a function of a CPU core clock,
3296 and is normally less than that peak rate.
3297 For example, most ARM cores accept at most one sixth of the CPU clock.
3298
3299 Speed 0 (khz) selects RTCK method.
3300 @xref{faqrtck,,FAQ RTCK}.
3301 If your system uses RTCK, you won't need to change the
3302 JTAG clocking after setup.
3303 Not all interfaces, boards, or targets support ``rtck''.
3304 If the interface device can not
3305 support it, an error is returned when you try to use RTCK.

3322 @cindex Reset Configuration
3323
3324 Every system configuration may require a different reset
3325 configuration. This can also be quite confusing.
3326 Resets also interact with @var{reset-init} event handlers,
3327 which do things like setting up clocks and DRAM, and
3328 JTAG clock rates. (@xref{jtagspeed,,JTAG Speed}.)
3329 They can also interact with JTAG routers.
3330 Please see the various board files for examples.
3331
3332 @quotation Note
3333 To maintainers and integrators:
3334 Reset configuration touches several things at once.
3335 Normally the board configuration file
3336 should define it and assume that the JTAG adapter supports
3337 everything that's wired up to the board's JTAG connector.
3338
3339 However, the target configuration file could also make note
3340 of something the silicon vendor has done inside the chip,
3341 which will be true for most (or all) boards using that chip.
3342 And when the JTAG adapter doesn't support everything, the
3343 user configuration file will need to override parts of
3344 the reset configuration provided by other files.
3345 @end quotation
3346
3347 @section Types of Reset
3348
3349 There are many kinds of reset possible through JTAG, but
3350 they may not all work with a given board and adapter.
3351 That's part of why reset configuration can be error prone.
3352
3353 @itemize @bullet
3354 @item
3355 @emph{System Reset} ... the @emph{SRST} hardware signal
3356 resets all chips connected to the JTAG adapter, such as processors,
3357 power management chips, and I/O controllers. Normally resets triggered
3358 with this signal behave exactly like pressing a RESET button.
3359 @item
3360 @emph{JTAG TAP Reset} ... the @emph{TRST} hardware signal resets
3361 just the TAP controllers connected to the JTAG adapter.
3362 Such resets should not be visible to the rest of the system; resetting a
3363 device's TAP controller just puts that controller into a known state.
3364 @item
3365 @emph{Emulation Reset} ... many devices can be reset through JTAG
3366 commands. These resets are often distinguishable from system
3367 resets, either explicitly (a "reset reason" register says so)
3368 or implicitly (not all parts of the chip get reset).
3369 @item
3370 @emph{Other Resets} ... system-on-chip devices often support
3371 several other types of reset.
3372 You may need to arrange that a watchdog timer stops

3374 There may be individual module resets.
3375 @end itemize
3376
3377 In the best case, OpenOCD can hold SRST, then reset
3378 the TAPs via TRST and send commands through JTAG to halt the
3379 CPU at the reset vector before the 1st instruction is executed.
3380 Then when it finally releases the SRST signal, the system is
3381 halted under debugger control before any code has executed.
3382 This is the behavior required to support the @command{reset halt}
3383 and @command{reset init} commands; after @command{reset init} a
3384 board-specific script might do things like setting up DRAM.
3385 (@xref{resetcommand,,Reset Command}.)
3386
3387 @anchor{srstandtrstissues}
3388 @section SRST and TRST Issues
3389
3390 Because SRST and TRST are hardware signals, they can have a
3391 variety of system-specific constraints. Some of the most
3392 common issues are:
3393
3394 @itemize @bullet
3395
3396 @item @emph{Signal not available} ... Some boards don't wire
3397 SRST or TRST to the JTAG connector. Some JTAG adapters don't
3398 support such signals even if they are wired up.
3399 Use the @command{reset_config} @var{signals} options to say
3400 when either of those signals is not connected.
3401 When SRST is not available, your code might not be able to rely
3402 on controllers having been fully reset during code startup.
3403 Missing TRST is not a problem, since JTAG-level resets can
3404 be triggered using with TMS signaling.
3405
3406 @item @emph{Signals shorted} ... Sometimes a chip, board, or
3407 adapter will connect SRST to TRST, instead of keeping them separate.
3408 Use the @command{reset_config} @var{combination} options to say
3409 when those signals aren't properly independent.
3410
3411 @item @emph{Timing} ... Reset circuitry like a resistor/capacitor
3412 delay circuit, reset supervisor, or on-chip features can extend
3413 the effect of a JTAG adapter's reset for some time after the adapter
3414 stops issuing the reset. For example, there may be chip or board
3415 requirements that all reset pulses last for at least a
3416 certain amount of time; and reset buttons commonly have
3417 hardware debouncing.
3418 Use the @command{adapter_nsrst_delay} and @command{jtag_ntrst_delay}
3419 commands to say when extra delays are needed.
3420
3421 @item @emph{Drive type} ... Reset lines often have a pullup
3422 resistor, letting the JTAG interface treat them as open-drain
3423 signals. But that's not a requirement, so the adapter may need
3424 to use push/pull output drivers.
3425 Also, with weak pullups it may be advisable to drive
3426 signals to both levels (push/pull) to minimize rise times.
3427 Use the @command{reset_config} @var{trst_type} and
3428 @var{srst_type} parameters to say how to drive reset signals.
3429
3430 @item @emph{Special initialization} ... Targets sometimes need
3431 special JTAG initialization sequences to handle chip-specific
3432 issues (not limited to errata).
3433 For example, certain JTAG commands might need to be issued while
3434 the system as a whole is in a reset state (SRST active)
3435 but the JTAG scan chain is usable (TRST inactive).
3436 Many systems treat combined assertion of SRST and TRST as a
3437 trigger for a harder reset than SRST alone.
3438 Such custom reset handling is discussed later in this chapter.
3439 @end itemize
3440
3441 There can also be other issues.
3442 Some devices don't fully conform to the JTAG specifications.
3443 Trivial system-specific differences are common, such as
3444 SRST and TRST using slightly different names.
3445 There are also vendors who distribute key JTAG documentation for
3446 their chips only to developers who have signed a Non-Disclosure
3447 Agreement (NDA).
3448
3449 Sometimes there are chip-specific extensions like a requirement to use
3450 the normally-optional TRST signal (precluding use of JTAG adapters which
3451 don't pass TRST through), or needing extra steps to complete a TAP reset.
3452
3453 In short, SRST and especially TRST handling may be very finicky,
3454 needing to cope with both architecture and board specific constraints.

3498 of each type -- @var{signals}, @var{combination}, @var{gates},
3499 @var{trst_type}, @var{srst_type} and @var{connect_type}
3500 -- may be specified at a time.
3501 If you don't provide a new value for a given type, its previous
3502 value (perhaps the default) is unchanged.
3503 For example, this means that you don't need to say anything at all about
3504 TRST just to declare that if the JTAG adapter should want to drive SRST,
3505 it must explicitly be driven high (@option{srst_push_pull}).
3506
3507 @itemize
3508 @item
3509 @var{signals} can specify which of the reset signals are connected.
3510 For example, If the JTAG interface provides SRST, but the board doesn't
3511 connect that signal properly, then OpenOCD can't use it.
3512 Possible values are @option{none} (the default), @option{trst_only},
3513 @option{srst_only} and @option{trst_and_srst}.
3514
3515 @quotation Tip
3516 If your board provides SRST and/or TRST through the JTAG connector,
3517 you must declare that so those signals can be used.
3518 @end quotation
3519
3520 @item
3521 The @var{combination} is an optional value specifying broken reset
3522 signal implementations.
3523 The default behaviour if no option given is @option{separate},
3524 indicating everything behaves normally.
3525 @option{srst_pulls_trst} states that the
3526 test logic is reset together with the reset of the system (e.g. NXP
3527 LPC2000, "broken" board layout), @option{trst_pulls_srst} says that
3528 the system is reset together with the test logic (only hypothetical, I
3529 haven't seen hardware with such a bug, and can be worked around).
3530 @option{combined} implies both @option{srst_pulls_trst} and
3531 @option{trst_pulls_srst}.
3532
3533 @item
3534 The @var{gates} tokens control flags that describe some cases where
3535 JTAG may be unavailable during reset.
3536 @option{srst_gates_jtag} (default)
3537 indicates that asserting SRST gates the
3538 JTAG clock. This means that no communication can happen on JTAG
3539 while SRST is asserted.
3540 Its converse is @option{srst_nogate}, indicating that JTAG commands
3541 can safely be issued while SRST is active.
3542
3543 @item
3544 The @var{connect_type} tokens control flags that describe some cases where
3545 SRST is asserted while connecting to the target. @option{srst_nogate}
3546 is required to use this option.
3547 @option{connect_deassert_srst} (default)
3548 indicates that SRST will not be asserted while connecting to the target.
3549 Its converse is @option{connect_assert_srst}, indicating that SRST will
3550 be asserted before any target connection.
3551 Only some targets support this feature, STM32 and STR9 are examples.
3552 This feature is useful if you are unable to connect to your target due
3553 to incorrect options byte config or illegal program execution.
3554 @end itemize
3555
3556 The optional @var{trst_type} and @var{srst_type} parameters allow the
3557 driver mode of each reset line to be specified. These values only affect
3558 JTAG interfaces with support for different driver modes, like the Amontec
3559 JTAGkey and JTAG Accelerator. Also, they are necessarily ignored if the
3560 relevant signal (TRST or SRST) is not connected.
3561
3562 @itemize
3563 @item
3564 Possible @var{trst_type} driver modes for the test reset signal (TRST)
3565 are the default @option{trst_push_pull}, and @option{trst_open_drain}.
3566 Most boards connect this signal to a pulldown, so the JTAG TAPs
3567 never leave reset unless they are hooked up to a JTAG adapter.
3568
3569 @item
3570 Possible @var{srst_type} driver modes for the system reset signal (SRST)
3571 are the default @option{srst_open_drain}, and @option{srst_push_pull}.
3572 Most boards connect this signal to a pullup, and allow the
3573 signal to be pulled low by various events including system
3574 power-up and pressing a reset button.

3578 @section Custom Reset Handling
3579 @cindex events
3580
3581 OpenOCD has several ways to help support the various reset
3582 mechanisms provided by chip and board vendors.
3583 The commands shown in the previous section give standard parameters.
3584 There are also @emph{event handlers} associated with TAPs or Targets.
3585 Those handlers are Tcl procedures you can provide, which are invoked
3586 at particular points in the reset sequence.
3587
3588 @emph{When SRST is not an option} you must set
3589 up a @code{reset-assert} event handler for your target.
3590 For example, some JTAG adapters don't include the SRST signal;
3591 and some boards have multiple targets, and you won't always
3592 want to reset everything at once.
3593
3594 After configuring those mechanisms, you might still
3595 find your board doesn't start up or reset correctly.
3596 For example, maybe it needs a slightly different sequence
3597 of SRST and/or TRST manipulations, because of quirks that
3598 the @command{reset_config} mechanism doesn't address;
3599 or asserting both might trigger a stronger reset, which
3600 needs special attention.
3601
3602 Experiment with lower level operations, such as @command{jtag_reset}
3603 and the @command{jtag arp_*} operations shown here,
3604 to find a sequence of operations that works.
3605 @xref{JTAG Commands}.
3606 When you find a working sequence, it can be used to override
3607 @command{jtag_init}, which fires during OpenOCD startup
3608 (@pxref{configurationstage,,Configuration Stage});
3609 or @command{init_reset}, which fires during reset processing.
3610
3611 You might also want to provide some project-specific reset
3612 schemes. For example, on a multi-target board the standard
3613 @command{reset} command would reset all targets, but you
3614 may need the ability to reset only one target at time and
3615 thus want to avoid using the board-wide SRST signal.
3616
3617 @deffn {Overridable Procedure} init_reset mode
3618 This is invoked near the beginning of the @command{reset} command,
3619 usually to provide as much of a cold (power-up) reset as practical.
3620 By default it is also invoked from @command{jtag_init} if
3621 the scan chain does not respond to pure JTAG operations.
3622 The @var{mode} parameter is the parameter given to the
3623 low level reset command (@option{halt},
3624 @option{init}, or @option{run}), @option{setup},
3625 or potentially some other value.
3626
3627 The default implementation just invokes @command{jtag arp_init-reset}.
3628 Replacements will normally build on low level JTAG
3629 operations such as @command{jtag_reset}.
3630 Operations here must not address individual TAPs
3631 (or their associated targets)
3632 until the JTAG scan chain has first been verified to work.
3633
3634 Implementations must have verified the JTAG scan chain before
3635 they return.
3636 This is done by calling @command{jtag arp_init}
3637 (or @command{jtag arp_init-reset}).
3638 @end deffn
3639
3640 @deffn Command {jtag arp_init}
3641 This validates the scan chain using just the four
3642 standard JTAG signals (TMS, TCK, TDI, TDO).
3643 It starts by issuing a JTAG-only reset.
3644 Then it performs checks to verify that the scan chain configuration
3645 matches the TAPs it can observe.
3646 Those checks include checking IDCODE values for each active TAP,
3647 and verifying the length of their instruction registers using
3648 TAP @code{-ircapture} and @code{-irmask} values.
3649 If these tests all pass, TAP @code{setup} events are
3650 issued to all TAPs with handlers for that event.
3651 @end deffn
3652
3653 @deffn Command {jtag arp_init-reset}
3654 This uses TRST and SRST to try resetting
3655 everything on the JTAG scan chain
3656 (and anything else connected to SRST).
3657 It then invokes the logic of @command{jtag arp_init}.

3662 @chapter TAP Declaration
3663 @cindex TAP declaration
3664 @cindex TAP configuration
3665
3666 @emph{Test Access Ports} (TAPs) are the core of JTAG.
3667 TAPs serve many roles, including:
3668
3669 @itemize @bullet
3670 @item @b{Debug Target} A CPU TAP can be used as a GDB debug target.
3671 @item @b{Flash Programming} Some chips program the flash directly via JTAG.
3672 Others do it indirectly, making a CPU do it.
3673 @item @b{Program Download} Using the same CPU support GDB uses,
3674 you can initialize a DRAM controller, download code to DRAM, and then
3675 start running that code.
3676 @item @b{Boundary Scan} Most chips support boundary scan, which
3677 helps test for board assembly problems like solder bridges
3678 and missing connections.
3679 @end itemize
3680
3681 OpenOCD must know about the active TAPs on your board(s).
3682 Setting up the TAPs is the core task of your configuration files.
3683 Once those TAPs are set up, you can pass their names to code
3684 which sets up CPUs and exports them as GDB targets,
3685 probes flash memory, performs low-level JTAG operations, and more.
3686
3687 @section Scan Chains
3688 @cindex scan chain
3689
3690 TAPs are part of a hardware @dfn{scan chain},
3691 which is a daisy chain of TAPs.
3692 They also need to be added to
3693 OpenOCD's software mirror of that hardware list,
3694 giving each member a name and associating other data with it.
3695 Simple scan chains, with a single TAP, are common in
3696 systems with a single microcontroller or microprocessor.
3697 More complex chips may have several TAPs internally.
3698 Very complex scan chains might have a dozen or more TAPs:
3699 several in one chip, more in the next, and connecting
3700 to other boards with their own chips and TAPs.
3701
3702 You can display the list with the @command{scan_chain} command.
3703 (Don't confuse this with the list displayed by the @command{targets}
3704 command, presented in the next chapter.
3705 That only displays TAPs for CPUs which are configured as
3706 debugging targets.)
3707 Here's what the scan chain might look like for a chip more than one TAP:
3708
3709 @verbatim
3710 TapName Enabled IdCode Expected IrLen IrCap IrMask
3711 -- ------------------ ------- ---------- ---------- ----- ----- ------
3712 0 omap5912.dsp Y 0x03df1d81 0x03df1d81 38 0x01 0x03
3713 1 omap5912.arm Y 0x0692602f 0x0692602f 4 0x01 0x0f
3714 2 omap5912.unknown Y 0x00000000 0x00000000 8 0x01 0x03
3715 @end verbatim
3716
3717 OpenOCD can detect some of that information, but not all
3718 of it. @xref{autoprobing,,Autoprobing}.
3719 Unfortunately, those TAPs can't always be autoconfigured,
3720 because not all devices provide good support for that.
3721 JTAG doesn't require supporting IDCODE instructions, and
3722 chips with JTAG routers may not link TAPs into the chain
3723 until they are told to do so.
3724
3725 The configuration mechanism currently supported by OpenOCD
3726 requires explicit configuration of all TAP devices using
3727 @command{jtag newtap} commands, as detailed later in this chapter.
3728 A command like this would declare one tap and name it @code{chip1.cpu}:
3729
3730 @example
3731 jtag newtap chip1 cpu -irlen 4 -expected-id 0x3ba00477
3732 @end example
3733
3734 Each target configuration file lists the TAPs provided
3735 by a given chip.
3736 Board configuration files combine all the targets on a board,
3737 and so forth.
3738 Note that @emph{the order in which TAPs are declared is very important.}
3739 That declaration order must match the order in the JTAG scan chain,
3740 both inside a single chip and between them.
3741 @xref{faqtaporder,,FAQ TAP Order}.
3742
3743 For example, the STMicroelectronics STR912 chip has
3744 three separate TAPs@footnote{See the ST
3745 document titled: @emph{STR91xFAxxx, Section 3.15 Jtag Interface, Page:
3746 28/102, Figure 3: JTAG chaining inside the STR91xFA}.
3747 @url{http://eu.st.com/stonline/products/literature/ds/13495.pdf}}.
3748 To configure those taps, @file{target/str912.cfg}
3749 includes commands something like this:
3750
3751 @example
3752 jtag newtap str912 flash ... params ...
3753 jtag newtap str912 cpu ... params ...
3754 jtag newtap str912 bs ... params ...
3755 @end example
3756
3757 Actual config files typically use a variable such as @code{$_CHIPNAME}
3758 instead of literals like @option{str912}, to support more than one chip
3759 of each type. @xref{Config File Guidelines}.
3760
3761 @deffn Command {jtag names}
3762 Returns the names of all current TAPs in the scan chain.
3763 Use @command{jtag cget} or @command{jtag tapisenabled}
3764 to examine attributes and state of each TAP.
3765 @example
3766 foreach t [jtag names] @{
3767 puts [format "TAP: %s\n" $t]
3768 @}
3769 @end example
3770 @end deffn
3771
3772 @deffn Command {scan_chain}
3773 Displays the TAPs in the scan chain configuration,
3774 and their status.
3775 The set of TAPs listed by this command is fixed by
3776 exiting the OpenOCD configuration stage,
3777 but systems with a JTAG router can
3778 enable or disable TAPs dynamically.
3779 @end deffn
3780
3781 @c FIXME! "jtag cget" should be able to return all TAP
3782 @c attributes, like "$target_name cget" does for targets.
3783
3784 @c Probably want "jtag eventlist", and a "tap-reset" event
3785 @c (on entry to RESET state).
3786
3787 @section TAP Names
3788 @cindex dotted name
3789
3790 When TAP objects are declared with @command{jtag newtap},
3791 a @dfn{dotted.name} is created for the TAP, combining the
3792 name of a module (usually a chip) and a label for the TAP.
3793 For example: @code{xilinx.tap}, @code{str912.flash},
3794 @code{omap3530.jrc}, @code{dm6446.dsp}, or @code{stm32.cpu}.
3795 Many other commands use that dotted.name to manipulate or
3796 refer to the TAP. For example, CPU configuration uses the
3797 name, as does declaration of NAND or NOR flash banks.
3798
3799 The components of a dotted name should follow ``C'' symbol
3800 name rules: start with an alphabetic character, then numbers
3801 and underscores are OK; while others (including dots!) are not.
3802
3803 @section TAP Declaration Commands
3804
3805 @c shouldn't this be(come) a {Config Command}?
3806 @deffn Command {jtag newtap} chipname tapname configparams...
3807 Declares a new TAP with the dotted name @var{chipname}.@var{tapname},
3808 and configured according to the various @var{configparams}.
3809
3810 The @var{chipname} is a symbolic name for the chip.
3811 Conventionally target config files use @code{$_CHIPNAME},
3812 defaulting to the model name given by the chip vendor but
3813 overridable.
3814
3815 @cindex TAP naming convention
3816 The @var{tapname} reflects the role of that TAP,
3817 and should follow this convention:
3818
3819 @itemize @bullet
3820 @item @code{bs} -- For boundary scan if this is a separate TAP;
3821 @item @code{cpu} -- The main CPU of the chip, alternatively
3822 @code{arm} and @code{dsp} on chips with both ARM and DSP CPUs,
3823 @code{arm1} and @code{arm2} on chips with two ARMs, and so forth;
3824 @item @code{etb} -- For an embedded trace buffer (example: an ARM ETB11);
3825 @item @code{flash} -- If the chip has a flash TAP, like the str912;
3826 @item @code{jrc} -- For JTAG route controller (example: the ICEPick modules
3827 on many Texas Instruments chips, like the OMAP3530 on Beagleboards);
3828 @item @code{tap} -- Should be used only for FPGA- or CPLD-like devices
3829 with a single TAP;
3830 @item @code{unknownN} -- If you have no idea what the TAP is for (N is a number);
3831 @item @emph{when in doubt} -- Use the chip maker's name in their data sheet.
3832 For example, the Freescale i.MX31 has a SDMA (Smart DMA) with
3833 a JTAG TAP; that TAP should be named @code{sdma}.
3834 @end itemize
3835
3836 Every TAP requires at least the following @var{configparams}:
3837
3838 @itemize @bullet
3839 @item @code{-irlen} @var{NUMBER}
3840 @*The length in bits of the
3841 instruction register, such as 4 or 5 bits.
3842 @end itemize
3843
3844 A TAP may also provide optional @var{configparams}:
3845
3846 @itemize @bullet
3847 @item @code{-disable} (or @code{-enable})
3848 @*Use the @code{-disable} parameter to flag a TAP which is not
3849 linked into the scan chain after a reset using either TRST
3850 or the JTAG state machine's @sc{reset} state.
3851 You may use @code{-enable} to highlight the default state
3852 (the TAP is linked in).
3853 @xref{enablinganddisablingtaps,,Enabling and Disabling TAPs}.
3854 @item @code{-expected-id} @var{NUMBER}
3855 @*A non-zero @var{number} represents a 32-bit IDCODE
3856 which you expect to find when the scan chain is examined.
3857 These codes are not required by all JTAG devices.
3858 @emph{Repeat the option} as many times as required if more than one
3859 ID code could appear (for example, multiple versions).
3860 Specify @var{number} as zero to suppress warnings about IDCODE
3861 values that were found but not included in the list.
3862
3863 Provide this value if at all possible, since it lets OpenOCD
3864 tell when the scan chain it sees isn't right. These values
3865 are provided in vendors' chip documentation, usually a technical
3866 reference manual. Sometimes you may need to probe the JTAG
3867 hardware to find these values.
3868 @xref{autoprobing,,Autoprobing}.
3869 @item @code{-ignore-version}
3870 @*Specify this to ignore the JTAG version field in the @code{-expected-id}
3871 option. When vendors put out multiple versions of a chip, or use the same
3872 JTAG-level ID for several largely-compatible chips, it may be more practical
3873 to ignore the version field than to update config files to handle all of
3874 the various chip IDs. The version field is defined as bit 28-31 of the IDCODE.
3875 @item @code{-ircapture} @var{NUMBER}
3876 @*The bit pattern loaded by the TAP into the JTAG shift register
3877 on entry to the @sc{ircapture} state, such as 0x01.
3878 JTAG requires the two LSBs of this value to be 01.
3879 By default, @code{-ircapture} and @code{-irmask} are set
3880 up to verify that two-bit value. You may provide
3881 additional bits if you know them, or indicate that
3882 a TAP doesn't conform to the JTAG specification.
3883 @item @code{-irmask} @var{NUMBER}
3884 @*A mask used with @code{-ircapture}
3885 to verify that instruction scans work correctly.
3886 Such scans are not used by OpenOCD except to verify that
3887 there seems to be no problems with JTAG scan chain operations.
3888 @item @code{-ignore-syspwrupack}
3889 @*Specify this to ignore the CSYSPWRUPACK bit in the ARM DAP DP CTRL/STAT
3890 register during initial examination and when checking the sticky error bit.
3891 This bit is normally checked after setting the CSYSPWRUPREQ bit, but some
3892 devices do not set the ack bit until sometime later.

3914
3915 OpenOCD includes two event mechanisms.
3916 The one presented here applies to all JTAG TAPs.
3917 The other applies to debugger targets,
3918 which are associated with certain TAPs.
3919
3920 The TAP events currently defined are:
3921
3922 @itemize @bullet
3923 @item @b{post-reset}
3924 @* The TAP has just completed a JTAG reset.
3925 The tap may still be in the JTAG @sc{reset} state.
3926 Handlers for these events might perform initialization sequences
3927 such as issuing TCK cycles, TMS sequences to ensure
3928 exit from the ARM SWD mode, and more.
3929
3930 Because the scan chain has not yet been verified, handlers for these events
3931 @emph{should not issue commands which scan the JTAG IR or DR registers}
3932 of any particular target.
3933 @b{NOTE:} As this is written (September 2009), nothing prevents such access.
3934 @item @b{setup}
3935 @* The scan chain has been reset and verified.
3936 This handler may enable TAPs as needed.
3937 @item @b{tap-disable}
3938 @* The TAP needs to be disabled. This handler should
3939 implement @command{jtag tapdisable}
3940 by issuing the relevant JTAG commands.
3941 @item @b{tap-enable}
3942 @* The TAP needs to be enabled. This handler should
3943 implement @command{jtag tapenable}
3944 by issuing the relevant JTAG commands.
3945 @end itemize
3946
3947 If you need some action after each JTAG reset which isn't actually
3948 specific to any TAP (since you can't yet trust the scan chain's
3949 contents to be accurate), you might:
3950
3951 @example
3952 jtag configure CHIP.jrc -event post-reset @{
3953 echo "JTAG Reset done"
3954 ... non-scan jtag operations to be done after reset
3955 @}

3964 In some systems, a @dfn{JTAG Route Controller} (JRC)
3965 is used to enable and/or disable specific JTAG TAPs.
3966 Many ARM-based chips from Texas Instruments include
3967 an ``ICEPick'' module, which is a JRC.
3968 Such chips include DaVinci and OMAP3 processors.

3970 A given TAP may not be visible until the JRC has been
3971 told to link it into the scan chain; and if the JRC
3972 has been told to unlink that TAP, it will no longer
3973 be visible.
3974 Such routers address problems that JTAG ``bypass mode''
3975 ignores, such as:
3976
3977 @itemize
3978 @item The scan chain can only go as fast as its slowest TAP.
3979 @item Having many TAPs slows instruction scans, since all
3980 TAPs receive new instructions.
3981 @item TAPs in the scan chain must be powered up, which wastes
3982 power and prevents debugging some power management mechanisms.
3983 @end itemize
3984
3985 The IEEE 1149.1 JTAG standard has no concept of a ``disabled'' tap,
3986 as implied by the existence of JTAG routers.
3987 However, the upcoming IEEE 1149.7 framework (layered on top of JTAG)
3988 does include a kind of JTAG router functionality.
3989
3990 @c (a) currently the event handlers don't seem to be able to
3991 @c fail in a way that could lead to no-change-of-state.
3992
3993 In OpenOCD, tap enabling/disabling is invoked by the Tcl commands
3994 shown below, and is implemented using TAP event handlers.
3995 So for example, when defining a TAP for a CPU connected to
3996 a JTAG router, your @file{target.cfg} file
3997 should define TAP event handlers using
3998 code that looks something like this:
3999
4000 @example
4001 jtag configure CHIP.cpu -event tap-enable @{
4002 ... jtag operations using CHIP.jrc
4003 @}
4004 jtag configure CHIP.cpu -event tap-disable @{
4005 ... jtag operations using CHIP.jrc
4006 @}
4007 @end example
4008
4009 Then you might want that CPU's TAP enabled almost all the time:
4010
4011 @example
4012 jtag configure $CHIP.jrc -event setup "jtag tapenable $CHIP.cpu"
4013 @end example
4014
4015 Note how that particular setup event handler declaration
4016 uses quotes to evaluate @code{$CHIP} when the event is configured.
4017 Using brackets @{ @} would cause it to be evaluated later,
4018 at runtime, when it might have a different value.
4019
4020 @deffn Command {jtag tapdisable} dotted.name
4021 If necessary, disables the tap
4022 by sending it a @option{tap-disable} event.
4023 Returns the string "1" if the tap
4024 specified by @var{dotted.name} is enabled,
4025 and "0" if it is disabled.
4026 @end deffn
4027
4028 @deffn Command {jtag tapenable} dotted.name
4029 If necessary, enables the tap
4030 by sending it a @option{tap-enable} event.
4031 Returns the string "1" if the tap
4032 specified by @var{dotted.name} is enabled,
4033 and "0" if it is disabled.
4034 @end deffn
4035
4036 @deffn Command {jtag tapisenabled} dotted.name
4037 Returns the string "1" if the tap
4038 specified by @var{dotted.name} is enabled,
4039 and "0" if it is disabled.
4040
4041 @quotation Note
4042 Humans will find the @command{scan_chain} command more helpful
4043 for querying the state of the JTAG taps.

4052 TAP configuration is the first thing that needs to be done
4053 after interface and reset configuration. Sometimes it's
4054 hard finding out what TAPs exist, or how they are identified.
4055 Vendor documentation is not always easy to find and use.
4056
4057 To help you get past such problems, OpenOCD has a limited
4058 @emph{autoprobing} ability to look at the scan chain, doing
4059 a @dfn{blind interrogation} and then reporting the TAPs it finds.
4060 To use this mechanism, start the OpenOCD server with only data
4061 that configures your JTAG interface, and arranges to come up
4062 with a slow clock (many devices don't support fast JTAG clocks
4063 right when they come out of reset).
4064
4065 For example, your @file{openocd.cfg} file might have:
4066
4067 @example
4068 source [find interface/olimex-arm-usb-tiny-h.cfg]
4069 reset_config trst_and_srst
4070 jtag_rclk 8
4071 @end example
4072
4073 When you start the server without any TAPs configured, it will
4074 attempt to autoconfigure the TAPs. There are two parts to this:
4075
4076 @enumerate
4077 @item @emph{TAP discovery} ...
4078 After a JTAG reset (sometimes a system reset may be needed too),
4079 each TAP's data registers will hold the contents of either the
4080 IDCODE or BYPASS register.
4081 If JTAG communication is working, OpenOCD will see each TAP,
4082 and report what @option{-expected-id} to use with it.
4083 @item @emph{IR Length discovery} ...
4084 Unfortunately JTAG does not provide a reliable way to find out
4085 the value of the @option{-irlen} parameter to use with a TAP
4086 that is discovered.
4087 If OpenOCD can discover the length of a TAP's instruction
4088 register, it will report it.
4089 Otherwise you may need to consult vendor documentation, such
4090 as chip data sheets or BSDL files.
4091 @end enumerate
4092
4093 In many cases your board will have a simple scan chain with just
4094 a single device. Here's what OpenOCD reported with one board
4095 that's a bit more complex:
4096
4097 @example
4098 clock speed 8 kHz
4099 There are no enabled taps. AUTO PROBING MIGHT NOT WORK!!
4100 AUTO auto0.tap - use "jtag newtap auto0 tap -expected-id 0x2b900f0f ..."
4101 AUTO auto1.tap - use "jtag newtap auto1 tap -expected-id 0x07926001 ..."
4102 AUTO auto2.tap - use "jtag newtap auto2 tap -expected-id 0x0b73b02f ..."
4103 AUTO auto0.tap - use "... -irlen 4"
4104 AUTO auto1.tap - use "... -irlen 4"
4105 AUTO auto2.tap - use "... -irlen 6"
4106 no gdb ports allocated as no target has been specified
4107 @end example
4108
4109 Given that information, you should be able to either find some existing
4110 config files to use, or create your own. If you create your own, you
4111 would configure from the bottom up: first a @file{target.cfg} file
4112 with these TAPs, any targets associated with them, and any on-chip
4113 resources; then a @file{board.cfg} with off-chip resources, clocking,
4114 and so forth.

4117 @section DAP declaration (ARMv6-M, ARMv7 and ARMv8 targets)
4118 @cindex DAP declaration
4119
4120 Since OpenOCD version 0.11.0, the Debug Access Port (DAP) is
4121 no longer implicitly created together with the target. It must be
4122 explicitly declared using the @command{dap create} command. For all ARMv6-M, ARMv7
4123 and ARMv8 targets, the option "@option{-dap} @var{dap_name}" has to be used
4124 instead of "@option{-chain-position} @var{dotted.name}" when the target is created.
4125
4126 The @command{dap} command group supports the following sub-commands:
4127
4128 @deffn Command {dap create} dap_name @option{-chain-position} dotted.name configparams...
4129 Declare a DAP instance named @var{dap_name} linked to the JTAG tap
4130 @var{dotted.name}. This also creates a new command (@command{dap_name})
4131 which is used for various purposes including additional configuration.
4132 There can only be one DAP for each JTAG tap in the system.
4133
4134 A DAP may also provide optional @var{configparams}:
4135
4136 @itemize @bullet
4137 @item @code{-ignore-syspwrupack}
4138 @*Specify this to ignore the CSYSPWRUPACK bit in the ARM DAP DP CTRL/STAT

4186
4187 In case of SWD, @var{reg} is a value in packed format
4188 @math{dpbanksel << 4 | addr} and assumes values 0, 4, 8 ... 0xfc.
4189 In case of JTAG it only assumes values 0, 4, 8 and 0xc.

4197 defaulting to the currently selected AP.
4198 @end deffn
4199
4200 @deffn Command {$dap_name memaccess} [value]
4201 Displays the number of extra tck cycles in the JTAG idle to use for MEM-AP
4202 memory bus access [0-255], giving additional time to respond to reads.
4203 If @var{value} is defined, first assigns that.
4204 @end deffn
4205
4206 @deffn Command {$dap_name apcsw} [value [mask]]
4207 Displays or changes CSW bit pattern for MEM-AP transfers.
4208
4209 At the begin of each memory access the CSW pattern is extended (bitwise or-ed)
4210 by @dfn{Size} and @dfn{AddrInc} bit-fields according to transfer requirements
4211 and the result is written to the real CSW register. All bits except dynamically
4212 updated fields @dfn{Size} and @dfn{AddrInc} can be changed by changing
4213 the CSW pattern. Refer to ARM ADI v5 manual chapter 7.6.4 and appendix A
4214 for details.
4215
4216 Use @var{value} only syntax if you want to set the new CSW pattern as a whole.
4217 The example sets HPROT1 bit (required by Cortex-M) and clears the rest of
4218 the pattern:
4219 @example
4220 kx.dap apcsw 0x2000000
4221 @end example
4222
4223 If @var{mask} is also used, the CSW pattern is changed only on bit positions
4224 where the mask bit is 1. The following example sets HPROT3 (cacheable)
4225 and leaves the rest of the pattern intact. It configures memory access through
4226 DCache on Cortex-M7.
4227 @example
4228 set CSW_HPROT3_CACHEABLE [expr 1 << 27]
4229 samv.dap apcsw $CSW_HPROT3_CACHEABLE $CSW_HPROT3_CACHEABLE
4230 @end example
4231
4232 Another example clears SPROT bit and leaves the rest of pattern intact:
4233 @example
4234 set CSW_SPROT [expr 1 << 30]
4235 samv.dap apcsw 0 $CSW_SPROT
4236 @end example
4237
4238 @emph{Note:} If you want to check the real value of CSW, not CSW pattern, use
4239 @code{xxx.dap apreg 0}. @xref{DAP subcommand apreg,,}.
4240
4241 @emph{Warning:} Some of the CSW bits are vital for working memory transfer.
4242 If you set a wrong CSW pattern and MEM-AP stopped working, use the following
4243 example with a proper dap name:
4244 @example
4245 xxx.dap apcsw default
4246 @end example

4256 @chapter CPU Configuration
4257 @cindex GDB target
4258
4259 This chapter discusses how to set up GDB debug targets for CPUs.
4260 You can also access these targets without GDB
4261 (@pxref{Architecture and Core Commands},
4262 and @ref{targetstatehandling,,Target State handling}) and
4263 through various kinds of NAND and NOR flash commands.
4264 If you have multiple CPUs you can have multiple such targets.
4265
4266 We'll start by looking at how to examine the targets you have,
4267 then look at how to add one more target and how to configure it.
4268
4269 @section Target List
4270 @cindex target, current
4271 @cindex target, list
4272
4273 All targets that have been set up are part of a list,
4274 where each member has a name.
4275 That name should normally be the same as the TAP name.
4276 You can display the list with the @command{targets}
4277 (plural!) command.
4278 This display often has only one CPU; here's what it might
4279 look like with more than one:
4280 @verbatim
4281 TargetName Type Endian TapName State
4282 -- ------------------ ---------- ------ ------------------ ------------
4283 0* at91rm9200.cpu arm920t little at91rm9200.cpu running
4284 1 MyTarget cortex_m little mychip.foo tap-disabled
4285 @end verbatim
4286
4287 One member of that list is the @dfn{current target}, which
4288 is implicitly referenced by many commands.
4289 It's the one marked with a @code{*} near the target name.
4290 In particular, memory addresses often refer to the address
4291 space seen by that current target.
4292 Commands like @command{mdw} (memory display words)
4293 and @command{flash erase_address} (erase NOR flash blocks)
4294 are examples; and there are many more.
4295
4296 Several commands let you examine the list of targets:
4297
4298 @deffn Command {target current}
4299 Returns the name of the current target.
4300 @end deffn
4301
4302 @deffn Command {target names}
4303 Lists the names of all current targets in the list.
4304 @example
4305 foreach t [target names] @{
4306 puts [format "Target: %s\n" $t]
4307 @}
4308 @end example
4309 @end deffn
4310
4311 @c yep, "target list" would have been better.
4312 @c plus maybe "target setdefault".
4313
4314 @deffn Command targets [name]
4315 @emph{Note: the name of this command is plural. Other target
4316 command names are singular.}
4317
4318 With no parameter, this command displays a table of all known
4319 targets in a user friendly form.
4320
4321 With a parameter, this command sets the current target to
4322 the given target with the given @var{name}; this is
4323 only relevant on boards which have more than one target.
4324 @end deffn
4325
4326 @section Target CPU Types
4327 @cindex target type
4328 @cindex CPU type
4329
4330 Each target has a @dfn{CPU type}, as shown in the output of
4331 the @command{targets} command. You need to specify that type
4332 when calling @command{target create}.
4333 The CPU type indicates more than just the instruction set.
4334 It also indicates how that instruction set is implemented,
4335 what kind of debug support it integrates,
4336 whether it has an MMU (and if so, what kind),
4337 what core-specific commands may be available
4338 (@pxref{Architecture and Core Commands}),
4339 and more.
4340
4341 It's easy to see what target types are supported,
4342 since there's a command to list them.
4343
4344 @anchor{targettypes}
4345 @deffn Command {target types}

4393 The CPU name used by OpenOCD will reflect the CPU design that was
4394 licensed, not a vendor brand which incorporates that design.
4395 Name prefixes like arm7, arm9, arm11, and cortex
4396 reflect design generations;
4397 while names like ARMv4, ARMv5, ARMv6, ARMv7 and ARMv8
4398 reflect an architecture version implemented by a CPU design.
4399
4400 @anchor{targetconfiguration}
4401 @section Target Configuration
4402
4403 Before creating a ``target'', you must have added its TAP to the scan chain.
4404 When you've added that TAP, you will have a @code{dotted.name}
4405 which is used to set up the CPU support.
4406 The chip-specific configuration file will normally configure its CPU(s)
4407 right after it adds all of the chip's TAPs to the scan chain.
4408
4409 Although you can set up a target in one step, it's often clearer if you
4410 use shorter commands and do it in two steps: create it, then configure
4411 optional parts.
4412 All operations on the target after it's created will use a new
4413 command, created as part of target creation.
4414
4415 The two main things to configure after target creation are
4416 a work area, which usually has target-specific defaults even
4417 if the board setup code overrides them later;
4418 and event handlers (@pxref{targetevents,,Target Events}), which tend
4419 to be much more board-specific.
4420 The key steps you use might look something like this
4421
4422 @example
4423 dap create mychip.dap -chain-position mychip.cpu
4424 target create MyTarget cortex_m -dap mychip.dap
4425 MyTarget configure -work-area-phys 0x08000 -work-area-size 8096
4426 MyTarget configure -event reset-deassert-pre @{ jtag_rclk 5 @}
4427 MyTarget configure -event reset-init @{ myboard_reinit @}
4428 @end example
4429
4430 You should specify a working area if you can; typically it uses some
4431 on-chip SRAM.
4432 Such a working area can speed up many things, including bulk
4433 writes to target memory;
4434 flash operations like checking to see if memory needs to be erased;
4435 GDB memory checksumming;
4436 and more.
4437
4438 @quotation Warning
4439 On more complex chips, the work area can become
4440 inaccessible when application code
4441 (such as an operating system)
4442 enables or disables the MMU.
4443 For example, the particular MMU context used to access the virtual
4444 address will probably matter ... and that context might not have
4445 easy access to other addresses needed.
4446 At this writing, OpenOCD doesn't have much MMU intelligence.
4447 @end quotation
4448
4449 It's often very useful to define a @code{reset-init} event handler.
4450 For systems that are normally used with a boot loader,
4451 common tasks include updating clocks and initializing memory
4452 controllers.
4453 That may be needed to let you write the boot loader into flash,
4454 in order to ``de-brick'' your board; or to load programs into
4455 external DDR memory without having run the boot loader.

4466 of the TAP associated with this target, which must be specified here
4467 using the @code{-chain-position @var{dotted.name}} configparam.
4468
4469 This name is also used to create the target object command,
4470 referred to here as @command{$target_name},

4566 @section Other $target_name Commands
4567 @cindex object command
4568
4569 The Tcl/Tk language has the concept of object commands,
4570 and OpenOCD adopts that same model for targets.
4571
4572 A good Tk example is a on screen button.
4573 Once a button is created a button
4574 has a name (a path in Tk terms) and that name is useable as a first
4575 class command. For example in Tk, one can create a button and later
4576 configure it like this:
4577
4578 @example
4579 # Create
4580 button .foobar -background red -command @{ foo @}
4581 # Modify
4582 .foobar configure -foreground blue
4583 # Query
4584 set x [.foobar cget -background]
4585 # Report
4586 puts [format "The button is %s" $x]
4587 @end example
4588
4589 In OpenOCD's terms, the ``target'' is an object just like a Tcl/Tk
4590 button, and its object commands are invoked the same way.
4591
4592 @example
4593 str912.cpu mww 0x1234 0x42
4594 omap3530.cpu mww 0x5555 123
4595 @end example
4596
4597 The commands supported by OpenOCD target objects are:
4598
4599 @deffn Command {$target_name arp_examine} @option{allow-defer}
4600 @deffnx Command {$target_name arp_halt}
4601 @deffnx Command {$target_name arp_poll}
4602 @deffnx Command {$target_name arp_reset}
4603 @deffnx Command {$target_name arp_waitstate}
4604 Internal OpenOCD scripts (most notably @file{startup.tcl})
4605 use these to deal with specific reset cases.
4606 They are not otherwise documented here.
4607 @end deffn
4608
4609 @deffn Command {$target_name array2mem} arrayname width address count
4610 @deffnx Command {$target_name mem2array} arrayname width address count
4611 These provide an efficient script-oriented interface to memory.
4612 The @code{array2mem} primitive writes bytes, halfwords, or words;
4613 while @code{mem2array} reads them.
4614 In both cases, the TCL side uses an array, and
4615 the target side uses raw memory.
4616
4617 The efficiency comes from enabling the use of
4618 bulk JTAG data transfer operations.
4619 The script orientation comes from working with data
4620 values that are packaged for use by TCL scripts;
4621 @command{mdw} type primitives only print data they retrieve,
4622 and neither store nor return those values.
4623
4624 @itemize
4625 @item @var{arrayname} ... is the name of an array variable
4626 @item @var{width} ... is 8/16/32 - indicating the memory access size
4627 @item @var{address} ... is the target memory address
4628 @item @var{count} ... is the number of elements to process
4629 @end itemize
4630 @end deffn
4631
4632 @deffn Command {$target_name cget} queryparm
4633 Each configuration parameter accepted by
4634 @command{$target_name configure}
4635 can be individually queried, to return its current value.
4636 The @var{queryparm} is a parameter name
4637 accepted by that command, such as @code{-work-area-phys}.
4638 There are a few special cases:
4639
4640 @itemize @bullet
4641 @item @code{-event} @var{event_name} -- returns the handler for the
4642 event named @var{event_name}.
4643 This is a special case because setting a handler requires
4644 two parameters.
4645 @item @code{-type} -- returns the target type.
4646 This is a special case because this is set using
4647 @command{target create} and can't be changed
4648 using @command{$target_name configure}.
4649 @end itemize
4650
4651 For example, if you wanted to summarize information about
4652 all the targets you might use something like this:
4653

4656 set y [$name cget -endian]
4657 set z [$name cget -type]

4706 @section Target Events
4707 @cindex target events
4708 @cindex events
4709 At various times, certain things can happen, or you want them to happen.
4710 For example:
4711 @itemize @bullet
4712 @item What should happen when GDB connects? Should your target reset?
4713 @item When GDB tries to flash the target, do you need to enable the flash via a special command?
4714 @item Is using SRST appropriate (and possible) on your system?
4715 Or instead of that, do you need to issue JTAG commands to trigger reset?
4716 SRST usually resets everything on the scan chain, which can be inappropriate.
4717 @item During reset, do you need to write to certain memory locations
4718 to set up system clocks or
4719 to reconfigure the SDRAM?
4720 How about configuring the watchdog timer, or other peripherals,
4721 to stop running while you hold the core stopped for debugging?
4722 @end itemize
4723
4724 All of the above items can be addressed by target event handlers.
4725 These are set up by @command{$target_name configure -event} or
4726 @command{target create ... -event}.
4727
4728 The programmer's model matches the @code{-command} option used in Tcl/Tk
4729 buttons and events. The two examples below act the same, but one creates
4730 and invokes a small procedure while the other inlines it.
4731
4732 @example
4733 proc my_init_proc @{ @} @{
4734 echo "Disabling watchdog..."
4735 mww 0xfffffd44 0x00008000
4736 @}
4737 mychip.cpu configure -event reset-init my_init_proc
4738 mychip.cpu configure -event reset-init @{
4739 echo "Disabling watchdog..."
4740 mww 0xfffffd44 0x00008000
4741 @}
4742 @end example
4743
4744 The following target events are defined:
4745
4746 @itemize @bullet
4747 @item @b{debug-halted}
4748 @* The target has halted for debug reasons (i.e.: breakpoint)
4749 @item @b{debug-resumed}
4750 @* The target has resumed (i.e.: GDB said run)
4751 @item @b{early-halted}
4752 @* Occurs early in the halt process
4753 @item @b{examine-start}
4754 @* Before target examine is called.
4755 @item @b{examine-end}
4756 @* After target examine is called with no errors.
4757 @item @b{gdb-attach}
4758 @* When GDB connects. Issued before any GDB communication with the target
4759 starts. GDB expects the target is halted during attachment.
4760 @xref{gdbmeminspect,,GDB as a non-intrusive memory inspector}, how to
4761 connect GDB to running target.
4762 The event can be also used to set up the target so it is possible to probe flash.
4763 Probing flash is necessary during GDB connect if you want to use
4764 @pxref{programmingusinggdb,,programming using GDB}.
4765 Another use of the flash memory map is for GDB to automatically choose
4766 hardware or software breakpoints depending on whether the breakpoint
4767 is in RAM or read only memory.
4768 Default is @code{halt}
4769 @item @b{gdb-detach}
4770 @* When GDB disconnects
4771 @item @b{gdb-end}
4772 @* When the target has halted and GDB is not doing anything (see early halt)
4773 @item @b{gdb-flash-erase-start}
4774 @* Before the GDB flash process tries to erase the flash (default is
4775 @code{reset init})

4783 @* Before the target steps, GDB is trying to start/resume the target
4784 @item @b{halted}
4785 @* The target has halted
4786 @item @b{reset-assert-pre}
4787 @* Issued as part of @command{reset} processing
4788 after @command{reset-start} was triggered
4789 but before either SRST alone is asserted on the scan chain,
4790 or @code{reset-assert} is triggered.
4791 @item @b{reset-assert}
4792 @* Issued as part of @command{reset} processing
4793 after @command{reset-assert-pre} was triggered.
4794 When such a handler is present, cores which support this event will use
4795 it instead of asserting SRST.
4796 This support is essential for debugging with JTAG interfaces which
4797 don't include an SRST line (JTAG doesn't require SRST), and for
4798 selective reset on scan chains that have multiple targets.
4799 @item @b{reset-assert-post}
4800 @* Issued as part of @command{reset} processing
4801 after @code{reset-assert} has been triggered.
4802 or the target asserted SRST on the entire scan chain.

4805 after @code{reset-assert-post} has been triggered.
4806 @item @b{reset-deassert-post}
4807 @* Issued as part of @command{reset} processing
4808 after @code{reset-deassert-pre} has been triggered
4809 and (if the target is using it) after SRST has been
4810 released on the scan chain.
4811 @item @b{reset-end}
4812 @* Issued as the final step in @command{reset} processing.
4813 @item @b{reset-init}
4814 @* Used by @b{reset init} command for board-specific initialization.
4815 This event fires after @emph{reset-deassert-post}.
4816
4817 This is where you would configure PLLs and clocking, set up DRAM so
4818 you can download programs that don't fit in on-chip SRAM, set up pin
4819 multiplexing, and so on.
4820 (You may be able to switch to a fast JTAG clock rate here, after

4823 @* Issued as the first step in @command{reset} processing
4824 before @command{reset-assert-pre} is called.
4825
4826 This is the most robust place to use @command{jtag_rclk}
4827 or @command{adapter_khz} to switch to a low JTAG clock rate,
4828 when reset disables PLLs needed to use a fast clock.

4839 @node Flash Commands
4840 @chapter Flash Commands
4841
4842 OpenOCD has different commands for NOR and NAND flash;
4843 the ``flash'' command works with NOR flash, while
4844 the ``nand'' command works with NAND flash.
4845 This partially reflects different hardware technologies:
4846 NOR flash usually supports direct CPU instruction and data bus access,
4847 while data from a NAND flash must be copied to memory before it can be
4848 used. (SPI flash must also be copied to memory before use.)
4849 However, the documentation also uses ``flash'' as a generic term;
4850 for example, ``Put flash configuration in board-specific files''.
4851
4852 Flash Steps:
4853 @enumerate
4854 @item Configure via the command @command{flash bank}
4855 @* Do this in a board-specific configuration file,
4856 passing parameters as needed by the driver.
4857 @item Operate on the flash via @command{flash subcommand}
4858 @* Often commands to manipulate the flash are typed by a human, or run
4859 via a script in some automated way. Common tasks include writing a
4860 boot loader, operating system, or other data.
4861 @item GDB Flashing
4862 @* Flashing via GDB requires the flash be configured via ``flash
4863 bank'', and the GDB flash features be enabled.
4864 @xref{gdbconfiguration,,GDB Configuration}.
4865 @end enumerate
4866
4867 Many CPUs have the ability to ``boot'' from the first flash bank.
4868 This means that misprogramming that bank can ``brick'' a system,
4869 so that it can't boot.
4870 JTAG tools, like OpenOCD, are often then used to ``de-brick'' the
4871 board by (re)installing working boot firmware.

4880 These banks will often be visible to GDB through the target's memory map.

4943 One feature distinguishing NOR flash from NAND or serial flash technologies
4944 is that for read access, it acts exactly like any other addressable memory.
4945 This means you can use normal memory read commands like @command{mdw} or
4946 @command{dump_image} with it, with no special @command{flash} subcommands.
4947 @xref{memoryaccess,,Memory access}, and @ref{imageaccess,,Image access}.
4948
4949 Write access works differently. Flash memory normally needs to be erased
4950 before it's written. Erasing a sector turns all of its bits to ones, and
4951 writing can turn ones into zeroes. This is why there are special commands
4952 for interactive erasing and writing, and why GDB needs to know which parts
4953 of the address space hold NOR flash memory.
4954
4955 @quotation Note
4956 Most of these erase and write commands leverage the fact that NOR flash
4957 chips consume target address space. They implicitly refer to the current
4958 JTAG target, and map from an address in that target's address space
4959 back to a flash bank.
4960 @comment In May 2009, those mappings may fail if any bank associated
4961 @comment with that target doesn't successfully autoprobe ... bug worth fixing?
4962 A few commands use abstract addressing based on bank and sector numbers,
4963 and don't depend on searching the current target and its address space.
4964 Avoid confusing the two command models.
4965 @end quotation
4966
4967 Some flash chips implement software protection against accidental writes,
4968 since such buggy writes could in some cases ``brick'' a system.
4969 For such systems, erasing and writing may require sector protection to be
4970 disabled first.
4971 Examples include CFI flash such as ``Intel Advanced Bootblock flash'',
4972 and AT91SAM7 on-chip flash.

5149 @cindex CFI
5150 The ``Common Flash Interface'' (CFI) is the main standard for
5151 external NOR flash chips, each of which connects to a
5152 specific external chip select on the CPU.
5153 Frequently the first such chip is used to boot the system.
5154 Your board's @code{reset-init} handler might need to
5155 configure additional chip selects using other commands (like: @command{mww} to
5156 configure a bus and its timings), or
5157 perhaps configure a GPIO pin that controls the ``write protect'' pin
5158 on the flash chip.
5159 The CFI driver can use a target-specific working area to significantly
5160 speed up operation.
5161
5162 The CFI driver can accept the following optional parameters, in any order:
5163
5164 @itemize
5165 @item @var{jedec_probe} ... is used to detect certain non-CFI flash ROMs,
5166 like AM29LV010 and similar types.
5167 @item @var{x16_as_x8} ... when a 16-bit flash is hooked up to an 8-bit bus.
5168 @item @var{bus_swap} ... when data bytes in a 16-bit flash needs to be swapped.
5169 @item @var{data_swap} ... when data bytes in a 16-bit flash needs to be
5170 swapped when writing data values (i.e. not CFI commands).
5171 @end itemize
5172
5173 To configure two adjacent banks of 16 MBytes each, both sixteen bits (two bytes)

5197 Several FPGAs and CPLDs can retrieve their configuration (bitstream) from a
5198 SPI flash connected to them. To access this flash from the host, the device
5199 is first programmed with a special proxy bitstream that
5200 exposes the SPI flash on the device's JTAG interface. The flash can then be
5201 accessed through JTAG.
5202
5203 Since signaling between JTAG and SPI is compatible, all that is required for
5204 a proxy bitstream is to connect TDI-MOSI, TDO-MISO, TCK-CLK and activate
5205 the flash chip select when the JTAG state machine is in SHIFT-DR. Such
5206 a bitstream for several Xilinx FPGAs can be found in
5207 @file{contrib/loaders/flash/fpga/xilinx_bscan_spi.py}. It requires
5208 @uref{https://github.com/m-labs/migen, migen} and a Xilinx toolchain to build.
5209
5210 This flash bank driver requires a target on a JTAG tap and will access that
5211 tap directly. Since no support from the target is needed, the target can be a
5212 "testee" dummy. Since the target does not expose the flash memory
5213 mapping, target commands that would otherwise be expected to access the flash
5214 will not work. These include all @command{*_image} and
5215 @command{$target_name m*} commands as well as @command{program}. Equivalent

5347 Members of ATH79 SoC family from Atheros include a SPI interface with 3
5348 chip selects.
5349 On reset a SPI flash connected to the first chip select (CS0) is made
5350 directly read-accessible in the CPU address space (up to 16MBytes)
5351 and is usually used to store the bootloader and operating system.
5352 Normal OpenOCD commands like @command{mdw} can be used to display
5353 the flash content while it is in memory-mapped mode (only the first
5354 4MBytes are accessible without additional configuration on reset).
5355
5356 The setup command only requires the @var{base} parameter in order
5357 to identify the memory bank. The actual value for the base address
5358 is not otherwise used by the driver. However the mapping is passed
5359 to gdb. Thus for the memory mapped flash (chipselect CS0) the base
5360 address should be the actual memory mapped base address. For unmapped
5361 chipselects (CS1 and CS2) care should be taken to use a base address
5362 that does not overlap with real memory regions.
5363 Additional information, like flash size, are detected automatically.
5364 An optional additional parameter sets the chipselect for the bank,
5365 with the default CS0.
5366 CS1 and CS2 require additional GPIO setup before they can be used

5411 All members of the Apollo microcontroller family from
5412 Ambiq Micro include internal flash and use ARM's Cortex-M4 core.
5413 The host connects over USB to an FTDI interface that communicates
5414 with the target using SWD.
5415
5416 The @var{ambiqmicro} driver reads the Chip Information Register detect
5417 the device class of the MCU.
5418 The Flash and SRAM sizes directly follow device class, and are used
5419 to set up the flash banks.
5420 If this fails, the driver will use default values set to the minimum
5421 sizes of an Apollo chip.
5422
5423 All Apollo chips have two flash banks of the same size.
5424 In all cases the first flash bank starts at location 0,
5425 and the second bank starts after the first.
5426
5427 @example
5428 # Flash bank 0
5429 flash bank $_FLASHNAME ambiqmicro 0 0x00040000 0 0 $_TARGETNAME
5430 # Flash bank 1 - same size as bank0, starts after bank 0.
5431 flash bank $_FLASHNAME ambiqmicro 0x00040000 0x00040000 0 0 \
5432 $_TARGETNAME
5433 @end example
5434
5435 Flash is programmed using custom entry points into the bootloader.
5436 This is the only way to program the flash as no flash control registers
5437 are available to the user.
5438
5439 The @var{ambiqmicro} driver adds some additional commands:
5440
5441 @deffn Command {ambiqmicro mass_erase} <bank>
5442 Erase entire bank.

5447 @deffn Command {ambiqmicro program_otp} <bank> <offset> <count>
5448 Program OTP is a one time operation to create write protected flash.
5449 The user writes sectors to SRAM starting at 0x10000010.
5450 Program OTP will write these sectors from SRAM to flash, and write protect
5451 the flash.

5548 currently (6/22/09) recognizes the AT91SAM3U[1/2/4][C/E] chips. Note
5549 that the driver was orginaly developed and tested using the

5722
5723 It is recommended that you provide zeroes for all of those values

5726 Knowing the frequency helps ensure correct timings for flash access.
5727
5728 The flash controller handles erases automatically on a page (128/256 byte)
5729 basis, so explicit erase commands are not necessary for flash programming.
5730 However, there is an ``EraseAll`` command that can erase an entire flash
5731 plane (of up to 256KB), and it will be used automatically when you issue

6012 The LPC29xx family is supported by the @var{lpc2900} driver.
6013 @end quotation
6014
6015 The @var{lpc2000} driver defines two mandatory and two optional parameters,
6016 which must appear in the following order:
6017
6018 @itemize
6019 @item @var{variant} ... required, may be
6020 @option{lpc2000_v1} (older LPC21xx and LPC22xx)
6021 @option{lpc2000_v2} (LPC213x, LPC214x, LPC210[123], LPC23xx and LPC24xx)

6032 @item @var{clock_kHz} ... the frequency, in kiloHertz,
6033 at which the core is running
6034 @item @option{calc_checksum} ... optional (but you probably want to provide this!),
6035 telling the driver to calculate a valid checksum for the exception vector table.
6036 @quotation Note
6037 If you don't provide @option{calc_checksum} when you're writing the vector
6038 table, the boot ROM will almost certainly ignore your flash image.
6039 However, if you do provide it,
6040 with most tool chains @command{verify_image} will fail.

6059 @deffn {Flash Driver} lpc288x
6060 The LPC2888 microcontroller from NXP needs slightly different flash
6061 support from its lpc2000 siblings.
6062 The @var{lpc288x} driver defines one mandatory parameter,
6063 the programming clock rate in Hz.
6064 LPC flashes don't require the chip and bus width to be specified.
6065
6066 @example
6067 flash bank $_FLASHNAME lpc288x 0 0 0 0 $_TARGETNAME 12000000
6068 @end example
6069 @end deffn
6070
6071 @deffn {Flash Driver} lpc2900
6072 This driver supports the LPC29xx ARM968E based microcontroller family
6073 from NXP.
6074
6075 The predefined parameters @var{base}, @var{size}, @var{chip_width} and
6076 @var{bus_width} of the @code{flash bank} command are ignored. Flash size and
6077 sector layout are auto-configured by the driver.
6078 The driver has one additional mandatory parameter: The CPU clock rate
6079 (in kHz) at the time the flash operations will take place. Most of the time this
6080 will not be the crystal frequency, but a higher PLL frequency. The
6081 @code{reset-init} event handler in the board script is usually the place where
6082 you start the PLL.
6083
6084 The driver rejects flashless devices (currently the LPC2930).
6085
6086 The EEPROM in LPC2900 devices is not mapped directly into the address space.
6087 It must be handled much more like NAND flash memory, and will therefore be
6088 handled by a separate @code{lpc2900_eeprom} driver (not yet available).
6089
6090 Sector protection in terms of the LPC2900 is handled transparently. Every time a
6091 sector needs to be erased or programmed, it is automatically unprotected.
6092 What is shown as protection status in the @code{flash info} command, is
6093 actually the LPC2900 @emph{sector security}. This is a mechanism to prevent a
6094 sector from ever being erased or programmed again. As this is an irreversible
6095 mechanism, it is handled by a special command (@code{lpc2900 secure_sector}),
6096 and not by the standard @code{flash protect} command.
6097
6098 Example for a 125 MHz clock frequency:
6099 @example
6100 flash bank $_FLASHNAME lpc2900 0 0 0 0 $_TARGETNAME 125000
6101 @end example
6102
6103 Some @code{lpc2900}-specific commands are defined. In the following command list,
6104 the @var{bank} parameter is the bank number as obtained by the
6105 @code{flash banks} command.
6106
6107 @deffn Command {lpc2900 signature} bank
6108 Calculates a 128-bit hash value, the @emph{signature}, from the whole flash
6109 content. This is a hardware feature of the flash block, hence the calculation is
6110 very fast. You may use this to verify the content of a programmed device against
6111 a known signature.
6112 Example:
6113 @example
6114 lpc2900 signature 0
6115 signature: 0x5f40cdc8:0xc64e592e:0x10490f89:0x32a0f317
6116 @end example
6117 @end deffn
6118
6119 @deffn Command {lpc2900 read_custom} bank filename
6120 Reads the 912 bytes of customer information from the flash index sector, and
6121 saves it to a file in binary format.
6122 Example:
6123 @example
6124 lpc2900 read_custom 0 /path_to/customer_info.bin
6125 @end example
6126 @end deffn
6127
6128 The index sector of the flash is a @emph{write-only} sector. It cannot be
6129 erased! In order to guard against unintentional write access, all following
6130 commands need to be preceded by a successful call to the @code{password}
6131 command:
6132
6133 @deffn Command {lpc2900 password} bank password
6134 You need to use this command right before each of the following commands:
6135 @code{lpc2900 write_custom}, @code{lpc2900 secure_sector},
6136 @code{lpc2900 secure_jtag}.
6137
6138 The password string is fixed to "I_know_what_I_am_doing".
6139 Example:
6140 @example
6141 lpc2900 password 0 I_know_what_I_am_doing
6142 Potentially dangerous operation allowed in next command!
6143 @end example
6144 @end deffn
6145
6146 @deffn Command {lpc2900 write_custom} bank filename type
6147 Writes the content of the file into the customer info space of the flash index
6148 sector. The filetype can be specified with the @var{type} field. Possible values
6149 for @var{type} are: @var{bin} (binary), @var{ihex} (Intel hex format),
6150 @var{elf} (ELF binary) or @var{s19} (Motorola S-records). The file must
6151 contain a single section, and the contained data length must be exactly
6152 912 bytes.

6472 @deffn {Flash Driver} psoc6
6473 Supports PSoC6 (CY8C6xxx) family of Cypress microcontrollers.
6474 PSoC6 is a dual-core device with CM0+ and CM4 cores. Both cores share
6475 the same Flash/RAM/MMIO address space.
6476
6477 Flash in PSoC6 is split into three regions:
6478 @itemize @bullet
6479 @item Main Flash - this is the main storage for user application.
6480 Total size varies among devices, sector size: 256 kBytes, row size:
6481 512 bytes. Supports erase operation on individual rows.
6482 @item Work Flash - intended to be used as storage for user data
6483 (e.g. EEPROM emulation). Total size: 32 KBytes, sector size: 32 KBytes,
6484 row size: 512 bytes.
6485 @item Supervisory Flash - special region which contains device-specific
6486 service data. This region does not support erase operation. Only few rows can
6487 be programmed by the user, most of the rows are read only. Programming
6488 operation will erase row automatically.
6489 @end itemize
6490
6491 All three flash regions are supported by the driver. Flash geometry is detected
6492 automatically by parsing data in SPCIF_GEOMETRY register.
6493
6494 PSoC6 is equipped with NOR Flash so erased Flash reads as 0x00.

6513 @deffn Command {psoc6 reset_halt}
6514 Command can be used to simulate broken Vector Catch from gdbinit or tcl scripts.
6515 When invoked for CM0+ target, it will set break point at application entry point
6516 and issue SYSRESETREQ. This will reset both cores and all peripherals. CM0+ will
6517 reset CM4 during boot anyway so this is safe. On CM4 target, VECTRESET is used
6518 instead of SYSRESETREQ to avoid unwanted reset of CM0+;

6814
6815 @deffn Command {stm32l4x option_read} num reg_offset

6817 The @var{num} parameter is a value shown by @command{flash banks}, @var{reg_offset}
6818 is the register offset of the Option byte to read.
6819
6820 For example to read the FLASH_OPTR register:
6821 @example
6822 stm32l4x option_read 0 0x20
6823 # Option Register: <0x40022020> = 0xffeff8aa
6824 @end example

6829
6830 @deffn Command {stm32l4x option_write} num reg_offset reg_mask
6831 Write an option byte register of the stm32l4x device.
6832 The @var{num} parameter is a value shown by @command{flash banks}, @var{reg_offset}
6833 is the register offset of the Option byte to write, and @var{reg_mask} is the mask
6834 to apply when writing the register (only bits with a '1' will be touched).
6835
6836 For example to write the WRP1AR option bytes:
6837 @example
6838 stm32l4x option_write 0 0x28 0x00FF0000 0x00FF00FF
6839 @end example
6840
6841 The above example will write the WRP1AR option register configuring the Write protection
6842 Area A for bank 1. The above example set WRP1AR_END=255, WRP1AR_START=0.
6843 This will effectively write protect all sectors in flash bank 1.

6894 @deffn {Flash Driver} str9xpec
6895 @cindex str9xpec
6896
6897 Only use this driver for locking/unlocking the device or configuring the option bytes.
6898 Use the standard str9 driver for programming.
6899 Before using the flash commands the turbo mode must be enabled using the
6900 @command{str9xpec enable_turbo} command.
6901
6902 Here is some background info to help
6903 you better understand how this driver works. OpenOCD has two flash drivers for
6904 the str9:
6905 @enumerate
6906 @item
6907 Standard driver @option{str9x} programmed via the str9 core. Normally used for
6908 flash programming as it is faster than the @option{str9xpec} driver.
6909 @item
6910 Direct programming @option{str9xpec} using the flash controller. This is an
6911 ISC compliant (IEEE 1532) tap connected in series with the str9 core. The str9
6912 core does not need to be running to program using this flash driver. Typical use
6913 for this driver is locking/unlocking the target and programming the option bytes.
6914 @end enumerate
6915
6916 Before we run any commands using the @option{str9xpec} driver we must first disable
6917 the str9 core. This example assumes the @option{str9xpec} driver has been
6918 configured for flash bank 0.
6919 @example
6920 # assert srst, we do not want core running
6921 # while accessing str9xpec flash driver
6922 jtag_reset 0 1
6923 # turn off target polling
6924 poll off
6925 # disable str9 core
6926 str9xpec enable_turbo 0
6927 # read option bytes
6928 str9xpec options_read 0
6929 # re-enable str9 core
6930 str9xpec disable_turbo 0
6931 poll on
6932 reset halt
6933 @end example
6934 The above example will read the str9 option bytes.
6935 When performing a unlock remember that you will not be able to halt the str9 - it
6936 has been locked. Halting the core is not required for the @option{str9xpec} driver
6937 as mentioned above, just issue the commands above manually or from a telnet prompt.
6938
6939 Several str9xpec-specific commands are defined:
6940
6941 @deffn Command {str9xpec disable_turbo} num

7042 @section NAND Flash Commands
7043 @cindex NAND
7044
7045 Compared to NOR or SPI flash, NAND devices are inexpensive
7046 and high density. Today's NAND chips, and multi-chip modules,
7047 commonly hold multiple GigaBytes of data.
7048
7049 NAND chips consist of a number of ``erase blocks'' of a given
7050 size (such as 128 KBytes), each of which is divided into a
7051 number of pages (of perhaps 512 or 2048 bytes each). Each
7052 page of a NAND flash has an ``out of band'' (OOB) area to hold
7053 Error Correcting Code (ECC) and other metadata, usually 16 bytes
7054 of OOB for every 512 bytes of page data.
7055
7056 One key characteristic of NAND flash is that its error rate
7057 is higher than that of NOR flash. In normal operation, that
7058 ECC is used to correct and detect errors. However, NAND
7059 blocks can also wear out and become unusable; those blocks
7060 are then marked "bad". NAND chips are even shipped from the
7061 manufacturer with a few bad blocks. The highest density chips
7062 use a technology (MLC) that wears out more quickly, so ECC
7063 support is increasingly important as a way to detect blocks
7064 that have begun to fail, and help to preserve data integrity
7065 with techniques such as wear leveling.
7066
7067 Software is used to manage the ECC. Some controllers don't
7068 support ECC directly; in those cases, software ECC is used.
7069 Other controllers speed up the ECC calculations with hardware.
7070 Single-bit error correction hardware is routine. Controllers
7071 geared for newer MLC chips may correct 4 or more errors for
7072 every 512 bytes of data.
7073
7074 You will need to make sure that any data you write using
7075 OpenOCD includes the appropriate kind of ECC. For example,
7076 that may mean passing the @code{oob_softecc} flag when
7077 writing NAND data, or ensuring that the correct hardware
7078 ECC mode is used.
7079
7080 The basic steps for using NAND devices include:
7081 @enumerate
7082 @item Declare via the command @command{nand device}
7083 @* Do this in a board-specific configuration file,
7084 passing parameters as needed by the controller.
7085 @item Configure each device using @command{nand probe}.
7086 @* Do this only after the associated target is set up,
7087 such as in its reset-init script or in procures defined
7088 to access that device.
7089 @item Operate on the flash via @command{nand subcommand}
7090 @* Often commands to manipulate the flash are typed by a human, or run
7091 via a script in some automated way. Common task include writing a
7092 boot loader, operating system, or other data needed to initialize or
7093 de-brick a board.
7094 @end enumerate
7095
7096 @b{NOTE:} At the time this text was written, the largest NAND
7097 flash fully supported by OpenOCD is 2 GiBytes (16 GiBits).
7098 This is because the variables used to hold offsets and lengths
7099 are only 32 bits wide.
7100 (Larger chips may work in some cases, unless an offset or length
7101 is larger than 0xffffffff, the largest 32-bit unsigned integer.)
7102 Some larger devices will work, since they are actually multi-chip
7103 modules with two smaller chips and individual chipselect lines.

7114 Declares a NAND device, which can be read and written to
7115 after it has been configured through @command{nand probe}.
7116 In OpenOCD, devices are single chips; this is unlike some
7117 operating systems, which may manage multiple chips as if
7118 they were a single (larger) device.
7119 In some cases, configuring a device will activate extra
7120 commands; see the controller-specific documentation.

7307
7308 @deffn Command {nand check_bad_blocks} num [offset length]
7309 Checks for manufacturer bad block markers on the specified NAND
7310 device. If no parameters are provided, checks the whole
7311 device; otherwise, starts at the specified @var{offset} and
7312 continues for @var{length} bytes.
7313 Both of those values must be exact multiples of the device's
7314 block size, and the region they specify must fit entirely in the chip.
7315 The @var{num} parameter is the value shown by @command{nand list}.
7316
7317 @b{NOTE:} Before using this command you should force raw access
7318 with @command{nand raw_access enable} to ensure that the underlying
7319 driver will not try to apply hardware ECC.
7320 @end deffn
7321
7322 @deffn Command {nand info} num
7323 The @var{num} parameter is the value shown by @command{nand list}.
7324 This prints the one-line summary from "nand list", plus for
7325 devices which have been probed this also prints any known
7326 status for each block.
7327 @end deffn
7328
7329 @deffn Command {nand raw_access} num (@option{enable}|@option{disable})
7330 Sets or clears an flag affecting how page I/O is done.
7331 The @var{num} parameter is the value shown by @command{nand list}.
7332
7333 This flag is cleared (disabled) by default, but changing that
7334 value won't affect all NAND devices. The key factor is whether
7335 the underlying driver provides @code{read_page} or @code{write_page}
7336 methods. If it doesn't provide those methods, the setting of
7337 this flag is irrelevant; all access is effectively ``raw''.
7338
7339 When those methods exist, they are normally used when reading
7340 data (@command{nand dump} or reading bad block markers) or
7341 writing it (@command{nand write}). However, enabling
7342 raw access (setting the flag) prevents use of those methods,
7343 bypassing hardware ECC logic.
7344 @i{This can be a dangerous option}, since writing blocks
7345 with the wrong ECC data can cause them to be marked as bad.

7350 As noted above, the @command{nand device} command allows
7351 driver-specific options and behaviors.
7352 Some controllers also activate controller-specific commands.
7353
7354 @deffn {NAND Driver} at91sam9
7355 This driver handles the NAND controllers found on AT91SAM9 family chips from
7356 Atmel. It takes two extra parameters: address of the NAND chip;
7357 address of the ECC controller.
7358 @example
7359 nand device $NANDFLASH at91sam9 $CHIPNAME 0x40000000 0xfffffe800
7360 @end example
7361 AT91SAM9 chips support single-bit ECC hardware. The @code{write_page} and
7362 @code{read_page} methods are used to utilize the ECC hardware unless they are
7363 disabled by using the @command{nand raw_access} command. There are four
7364 additional commands that are needed to fully configure the AT91SAM9 NAND
7365 controller. Two are optional; most boards use the same wiring for ALE/CLE:
7366 @deffn Command {at91sam9 cle} num addr_line
7367 Configure the address line used for latching commands. The @var{num}
7368 parameter is the value shown by @command{nand list}.
7369 @end deffn
7370 @deffn Command {at91sam9 ale} num addr_line
7371 Configure the address line used for latching addresses. The @var{num}

7373 @end deffn
7374
7375 For the next two commands, it is assumed that the pins have already been
7376 properly configured for input or output.
7377 @deffn Command {at91sam9 rdy_busy} num pio_base_addr pin
7378 Configure the RDY/nBUSY input from the NAND device. The @var{num}
7379 parameter is the value shown by @command{nand list}. @var{pio_base_addr}
7380 is the base address of the PIO controller and @var{pin} is the pin number.
7381 @end deffn
7382 @deffn Command {at91sam9 ce} num pio_base_addr pin
7383 Configure the chip enable input to the NAND device. The @var{num}
7384 parameter is the value shown by @command{nand list}. @var{pio_base_addr}
7385 is the base address of the PIO controller and @var{pin} is the pin number.

7388
7389 @deffn {NAND Driver} davinci
7390 This driver handles the NAND controllers found on DaVinci family
7391 chips from Texas Instruments.
7392 It takes three extra parameters:
7393 address of the NAND chip;
7394 hardware ECC mode to use (@option{hwecc1},
7395 @option{hwecc4}, @option{hwecc4_infix});
7396 address of the AEMIF controller on this processor.
7397 @example

7399 @end example
7400 All DaVinci processors support the single-bit ECC hardware,
7401 and newer ones also support the four-bit ECC hardware.
7402 The @code{write_page} and @code{read_page} methods are used
7403 to implement those ECC modes, unless they are disabled using
7404 the @command{nand raw_access} command.

7409 parameter: the clock rate used by the controller.
7410 @deffn Command {lpc3180 select} num [mlc|slc]
7411 Configures use of the MLC or SLC controller mode.
7412 MLC implies use of hardware ECC.
7413 The @var{num} parameter is the value shown by @command{nand list}.
7414 @end deffn
7415
7416 At this writing, this driver includes @code{write_page}
7417 and @code{read_page} methods. Using @command{nand raw_access}
7418 to disable those methods will prevent use of hardware ECC
7419 in the MLC controller mode, but won't change SLC behavior.

7429 This driver handles the NAND controller found in Freescale i.MX
7430 chips. It has support for v1 (i.MX27 and i.MX31) and v2 (i.MX35).
7431 The driver takes 3 extra arguments, chip (@option{mx27},
7432 @option{mx31}, @option{mx35}), ecc (@option{noecc}, @option{hwecc})
7433 and optionally if bad block information should be swapped between
7434 main area and spare area (@option{biswap}), defaults to off.

7450 These controllers don't define any specialized commands.
7451 At this writing, their drivers don't include @code{write_page}

7532
7533 OpenOCD implements numerous ways to program the target flash, whether internal or external.
7534 Programming can be achieved by either using GDB @ref{programmingusinggdb,,Programming using GDB},
7535 or using the commands given in @ref{flashprogrammingcommands,,Flash Programming Commands}.
7536
7537 @*To simplify using the flash commands directly a jimtcl script is available that handles the programming and verify stage.
7538 OpenOCD will program/verify/reset the target and optionally shutdown.
7539
7540 The script is executed as follows and by default the following actions will be performed.
7541 @enumerate
7542 @item 'init' is executed.
7543 @item 'reset init' is called to reset and halt the target, any 'reset init' scripts are executed.
7544 @item @code{flash write_image} is called to erase and write any flash using the filename given.
7545 @item @code{verify_image} is called if @option{verify} parameter is given.
7546 @item @code{reset run} is called if @option{reset} parameter is given.
7547 @item OpenOCD is shutdown if @option{exit} parameter is given.

7568 Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs) and the more flexible
7569 Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are both types of programmable hardware.
7570 OpenOCD can support programming them.
7571 Although PLDs are generally restrictive (cells are less functional, and
7572 there are no special purpose cells for memory or computational tasks),
7573 they share the same OpenOCD infrastructure.
7574 Accordingly, both are called PLDs here.
7575
7576 @section PLD/FPGA Configuration and Commands
7577
7578 As it does for JTAG TAPs, debug targets, and flash chips (both NOR and NAND),
7579 OpenOCD maintains a list of PLDs available for use in various commands.
7580 Also, each such PLD requires a driver.
7581
7582 They are referenced by the number shown by the @command{pld devices} command,

7628
7629 Intent:
7630 @itemize @bullet
7631 @item @b{Source Of Commands}
7632 @* OpenOCD commands can occur in a configuration script (discussed
7633 elsewhere) or typed manually by a human or supplied programmatically,
7634 or via one of several TCP/IP Ports.
7635
7636 @item @b{From the human}
7637 @* A human should interact with the telnet interface (default port: 4444)
7638 or via GDB (default port 3333).
7639
7640 To issue commands from within a GDB session, use the @option{monitor}
7641 command, e.g. use @option{monitor poll} to issue the @option{poll}
7642 command. All output is relayed through the GDB session.
7643

7659 Not every command provides helptext.
7660
7661 Configuration commands, and commands valid at any time, are

7699 This affects the kind of messages sent to the server log.
7700 Level 0 is error messages only;
7701 level 1 adds warnings;
7702 level 2 adds informational messages;
7703 level 3 adds debugging messages;

7740 @cindex target initialization
7741
7742 In this section ``target'' refers to a CPU configured as
7743 shown earlier (@pxref{CPU Configuration}).
7744 These commands, like many, implicitly refer to
7745 a current target which is used to perform the
7746 various operations. The current target may be changed
7747 by using @command{targets} command with the name of the
7748 target which should become current.
7749
7750 @deffn Command reg [(number|name) [(value|'force')]]
7751 Access a single register by @var{number} or by its @var{name}.
7752 The target must generally be halted before access to CPU core
7753 registers is allowed. Depending on the hardware, some other
7754 registers may be accessible while the target is running.
7755
7756 @emph{With no arguments}:
7757 list all available registers for the current target,
7758 showing number, name, size, value, and cache status.
7759 For valid entries, a value is shown; valid entries
7760 which are also dirty (and will be written back later)
7761 are flagged as such.
7762
7763 @emph{With number/name}: display that register's value.
7764 Use @var{force} argument to read directly from the target,
7765 bypassing any internal cache.
7766
7767 @emph{With both number/name and value}: set register's value.
7768 Writes may be held in a writeback cache internal to OpenOCD,
7769 so that setting the value marks the register as dirty instead
7770 of immediately flushing that value. Resuming CPU execution
7771 (including by single stepping) or otherwise activating the
7772 relevant module will flush such values.
7773
7774 Cores may have surprisingly many registers in their
7775 Debug and trace infrastructure:
7776
7777 @example
7778 > reg
7779 ===== ARM registers
7780 (0) r0 (/32): 0x0000D3C2 (dirty)
7781 (1) r1 (/32): 0xFD61F31C

7788
7789 @deffn Command halt [ms]
7790 @deffnx Command wait_halt [ms]
7791 The @command{halt} command first sends a halt request to the target,
7792 which @command{wait_halt} doesn't.
7793 Otherwise these behave the same: wait up to @var{ms} milliseconds,
7794 or 5 seconds if there is no parameter, for the target to halt
7795 (and enter debug mode).
7796 Using 0 as the @var{ms} parameter prevents OpenOCD from waiting.
7797
7798 @quotation Warning
7799 On ARM cores, software using the @emph{wait for interrupt} operation
7800 often blocks the JTAG access needed by a @command{halt} command.
7801 This is because that operation also puts the core into a low
7802 power mode by gating the core clock;
7803 but the core clock is needed to detect JTAG clock transitions.
7804
7805 One partial workaround uses adaptive clocking: when the core is
7806 interrupted the operation completes, then JTAG clocks are accepted
7807 at least until the interrupt handler completes.
7808 However, this workaround is often unusable since the processor, board,
7809 and JTAG adapter must all support adaptive JTAG clocking.
7810 Also, it can't work until an interrupt is issued.
7811
7812 A more complete workaround is to not use that operation while you
7813 work with a JTAG debugger.
7814 Tasking environments generally have idle loops where the body is the
7815 @emph{wait for interrupt} operation.
7816 (On older cores, it is a coprocessor action;
7817 newer cores have a @option{wfi} instruction.)
7818 Such loops can just remove that operation, at the cost of higher
7819 power consumption (because the CPU is needlessly clocked).

8110
8111 CPUs based on ARM cores may include standard tracing interfaces,
8112 based on an ``Embedded Trace Module'' (ETM) which sends voluminous
8113 address and data bus trace records to a ``Trace Port''.
8114
8115 @itemize
8116 @item
8117 Development-oriented boards will sometimes provide a high speed
8118 trace connector for collecting that data, when the particular CPU
8119 supports such an interface.
8120 (The standard connector is a 38-pin Mictor, with both JTAG
8121 and trace port support.)
8122 Those trace connectors are supported by higher end JTAG adapters
8123 and some logic analyzer modules; frequently those modules can
8124 buffer several megabytes of trace data.
8125 Configuring an ETM coupled to such an external trace port belongs
8126 in the board-specific configuration file.
8127 @item
8128 If the CPU doesn't provide an external interface, it probably
8129 has an ``Embedded Trace Buffer'' (ETB) on the chip, which is a
8130 dedicated SRAM. 4KBytes is one common ETB size.
8131 Configuring an ETM coupled only to an ETB belongs in the CPU-specific
8132 (target) configuration file, since it works the same on all boards.
8133 @end itemize
8134
8135 ETM support in OpenOCD doesn't seem to be widely used yet.
8136
8137 @quotation Issues
8138 ETM support may be buggy, and at least some @command{etm config}
8139 parameters should be detected by asking the ETM for them.
8140
8141 ETM trigger events could also implement a kind of complex
8142 hardware breakpoint, much more powerful than the simple
8143 watchpoint hardware exported by EmbeddedICE modules.
8144 @emph{Such breakpoints can be triggered even when using the
8145 dummy trace port driver}.
8146
8147 It seems like a GDB hookup should be possible,
8148 as well as tracing only during specific states
8149 (perhaps @emph{handling IRQ 23} or @emph{calls foo()}).
8150
8151 There should be GUI tools to manipulate saved trace data and help
8152 analyse it in conjunction with the source code.
8153 It's unclear how much of a common interface is shared
8154 with the current XScale trace support, or should be
8155 shared with eventual Nexus-style trace module support.
8156
8157 At this writing (November 2009) only ARM7, ARM9, and ARM11 support
8158 for ETM modules is available. The code should be able to
8159 work with some newer cores; but not all of them support
8160 this original style of JTAG access.

8170 Several of the parameters must reflect the trace port capabilities,
8171 which are a function of silicon capabilities (exposed later
8172 using @command{etm info}) and of what hardware is connected to
8173 that port (such as an external pod, or ETB).
8174 The @var{width} must be either 4, 8, or 16,
8175 except with ETMv3.0 and newer modules which may also
8176 support 1, 2, 24, 32, 48, and 64 bit widths.
8177 (With those versions, @command{etm info} also shows whether
8178 the selected port width and mode are supported.)
8179
8180 The @var{mode} must be @option{normal}, @option{multiplexed},

8251 That data can be exported to files for later analysis.
8252 It can also be parsed with OpenOCD, for basic sanity checking.
8253
8254 To configure what is being traced, you will need to write
8255 various trace registers using @command{reg ETM_*} commands.
8256 For the definitions of these registers, read ARM publication
8257 @emph{IHI 0014, ``Embedded Trace Macrocell, Architecture Specification''}.
8258 Be aware that most of the relevant registers are write-only,
8259 and that ETM resources are limited. There are only a handful
8260 of address comparators, data comparators, counters, and so on.

8263
8264 @itemize
8265 @item Code flow within a function, @emph{excluding} subroutines
8266 it calls. Use address range comparators to enable tracing
8267 for instruction access within that function's body.

8269 it calls. Use the sequencer and address comparators to activate
8270 tracing on an ``entered function'' state, then deactivate it by

8272 @item Code flow starting at the fifth invocation of a function,
8273 combining one of the above models with a counter.

8310 @subsection Trace Port Drivers
8311
8312 To use an ETM trace port it must be associated with a driver.
8313
8314 @deffn {Trace Port Driver} dummy
8315 Use the @option{dummy} driver if you are configuring an ETM that's
8316 not connected to anything (on-chip ETB or off-chip trace connector).
8317 @emph{This driver lets OpenOCD talk to the ETM, but it does not expose
8318 any trace data collection.}
8319 @deffn {Config Command} {etm_dummy config} target
8320 Associates the ETM for @var{target} with a dummy driver.
8321 @end deffn
8322 @end deffn
8323
8324 @deffn {Trace Port Driver} etb
8325 Use the @option{etb} driver if you are configuring an ETM
8326 to use on-chip ETB memory.
8327 @deffn {Config Command} {etb config} target etb_tap
8328 Associates the ETM for @var{target} with the ETB at @var{etb_tap}.
8329 You can see the ETB registers using the @command{reg} command.
8330 @end deffn
8331 @deffn Command {etb trigger_percent} [percent]
8332 This displays, or optionally changes, ETB behavior after the
8333 ETM's configured @emph{trigger} event fires.
8334 It controls how much more trace data is saved after the (single)
8335 trace trigger becomes active.
8336
8337 @itemize
8338 @item The default corresponds to @emph{trace around} usage,
8339 recording 50 percent data before the event and the rest
8340 afterwards.
8341 @item The minimum value of @var{percent} is 2 percent,
8342 recording almost exclusively data before the trigger.
8343 Such extreme @emph{trace before} usage can help figure out
8344 what caused that event to happen.
8345 @item The maximum value of @var{percent} is 100 percent,
8346 recording data almost exclusively after the event.
8347 This extreme @emph{trace after} usage might help sort out
8348 how the event caused trouble.

8380 @cindex CTI
8381
8382 The ARM Cross-Trigger Interface (CTI) is a generic CoreSight component
8383 that connects event sources like tracing components or CPU cores with each
8384 other through a common trigger matrix (CTM). For ARMv8 architecture, a
8385 CTI is mandatory for core run control and each core has an individual
8386 CTI instance attached to it. OpenOCD has limited support for CTI using
8387 the @emph{cti} group of commands.
8388
8389 @deffn Command {cti create} cti_name @option{-dap} dap_name @option{-ap-num} apn @option{-ctibase} base_address
8390 Creates a CTI instance @var{cti_name} on the DAP instance @var{dap_name} on MEM-AP
8391 @var{apn}. The @var{base_address} must match the base address of the CTI
8392 on the respective MEM-AP. All arguments are mandatory. This creates a
8393 new command @command{$cti_name} which is used for various purposes
8394 including additional configuration.
8395 @end deffn
8396
8397 @deffn Command {$cti_name enable} @option{on|off}

8426 These commands should be available on all ARM processors.
8427 They are available in addition to other core-specific
8428 commands that may be available.
8429
8430 @deffn Command {arm core_state} [@option{arm}|@option{thumb}]
8431 Displays the core_state, optionally changing it to process
8432 either @option{arm} or @option{thumb} instructions.
8433 The target may later be resumed in the currently set core_state.
8434 (Processors may also support the Jazelle state, but

8436 @end deffn
8437
8438 @deffn Command {arm disassemble} address [count [@option{thumb}]]
8439 @cindex disassemble
8440 Disassembles @var{count} instructions starting at @var{address}.
8441 If @var{count} is not specified, a single instruction is disassembled.
8442 If @option{thumb} is specified, or the low bit of the address is set,
8443 Thumb2 (mixed 16/32-bit) instructions are used;
8444 else ARM (32-bit) instructions are used.
8445 (Processors may also support the Jazelle state, but
8446 those instructions are not currently understood by OpenOCD.)
8447
8448 Note that all Thumb instructions are Thumb2 instructions,
8449 so older processors (without Thumb2 support) will still
8450 see correct disassembly of Thumb code.
8451 Also, ThumbEE opcodes are the same as Thumb2,
8452 with a handful of exceptions.
8453 ThumbEE disassembly currently has no explicit support.

8480 @cindex ARM semihosting
8481 Display status of semihosting, after optionally changing that status.
8482
8483 Semihosting allows for code executing on an ARM target to use the
8484 I/O facilities on the host computer i.e. the system where OpenOCD
8485 is running. The target application must be linked against a library
8486 implementing the ARM semihosting convention that forwards operation
8487 requests by using a special SVC instruction that is trapped at the
8488 Supervisor Call vector by OpenOCD.
8489 @end deffn

8494
8495 @example
8496 arm semihosting_cmdline argv0 argv1 argv2 ...
8497 @end example
8498
8499 This option lets one set the command line arguments to be passed to
8500 the program. The first argument (argv0) is the program name in a
8501 standard C environment (argv[0]). Depending on the program (not much
8502 programs look at argv[0]), argv0 is ignored and can be any string.
8503 @end deffn
8504
8505 @deffn Command {arm semihosting_fileio} [@option{enable}|@option{disable}]
8506 @cindex ARM semihosting
8507 Display status of semihosting fileio, after optionally changing that
8508 status.
8509
8510 Enabling this option forwards semihosting I/O to GDB process using the
8511 File-I/O remote protocol extension. This is especially useful for
8512 interacting with remote files or displaying console messages in the
8513 debugger.
8514 @end deffn
8515
8516 @deffn Command {arm semihosting_resexit} [@option{enable}|@option{disable}]
8517 @cindex ARM semihosting
8518 Enable resumable SEMIHOSTING_SYS_EXIT.
8519
8520 When SEMIHOSTING_SYS_EXIT is called outside a debug session,
8521 things are simple, the openocd process calls exit() and passes
8522 the value returned by the target.
8523
8524 When SEMIHOSTING_SYS_EXIT is called during a debug session,
8525 by default execution returns to the debugger, leaving the
8526 debugger in a HALT state, similar to the state entered when
8527 encountering a break.
8528
8529 In some use cases, it is useful to have SEMIHOSTING_SYS_EXIT
8530 return normally, as any semihosting call, and do not break
8531 to the debugger.
8532 The standard allows this to happen, but the condition
8533 to trigger it is a bit obscure ("by performing an RDI_Execute
8534 request or equivalent").
8535
8536 To make the SEMIHOSTING_SYS_EXIT call return normally, enable
8537 this option (default: disabled).

8573 channel (DCC) to write larger (>128 byte) amounts of memory.
8574 If a boolean parameter is provided, first assigns that flag.
8575
8576 DCC downloads offer a huge speed increase, but might be

8714 @subsection XScale specific commands
8715 @cindex XScale
8716
8717 Some notes about the debug implementation on the XScale CPUs:
8718
8719 The XScale CPU provides a special debug-only mini-instruction cache
8720 (mini-IC) in which exception vectors and target-resident debug handler
8721 code are placed by OpenOCD. In order to get access to the CPU, OpenOCD
8722 must point vector 0 (the reset vector) to the entry of the debug
8723 handler. However, this means that the complete first cacheline in the
8724 mini-IC is marked valid, which makes the CPU fetch all exception
8725 handlers from the mini-IC, ignoring the code in RAM.
8726
8727 To address this situation, OpenOCD provides the @code{xscale
8728 vector_table} command, which allows the user to explicitly write
8729 individual entries to either the high or low vector table stored in
8730 the mini-IC.
8731
8732 It is recommended to place a pc-relative indirect branch in the vector
8733 table, and put the branch destination somewhere in memory. Doing so
8734 makes sure the code in the vector table stays constant regardless of
8735 code layout in memory:
8736 @example
8737 _vectors:
8738 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
8739 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
8740 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
8741 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
8742 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
8743 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
8744 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
8745 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
8746 .org 0x100
8747 .long real_reset_vector
8748 .long real_ui_handler
8749 .long real_swi_handler
8750 .long real_pf_abort
8751 .long real_data_abort
8752 .long 0 /* unused */
8753 .long real_irq_handler
8754 .long real_fiq_handler
8755 @end example
8756
8757 Alternatively, you may choose to keep some or all of the mini-IC
8758 vector table entries synced with those written to memory by your
8759 system software. The mini-IC can not be modified while the processor
8760 is executing, but for each vector table entry not previously defined
8761 using the @code{xscale vector_table} command, OpenOCD will copy the
8762 value from memory to the mini-IC every time execution resumes from a
8763 halt. This is done for both high and low vector tables (although the
8764 table not in use may not be mapped to valid memory, and in this case
8765 that copy operation will silently fail). This means that you will
8766 need to briefly halt execution at some strategic point during system
8767 start-up; e.g., after the software has initialized the vector table,
8768 but before exceptions are enabled. A breakpoint can be used to
8769 accomplish this once the appropriate location in the start-up code has
8770 been identified. A watchpoint over the vector table region is helpful
8771 in finding the location if you're not sure. Note that the same
8772 situation exists any time the vector table is modified by the system
8773 software.
8774
8775 The debug handler must be placed somewhere in the address space using
8776 the @code{xscale debug_handler} command. The allowed locations for the
8777 debug handler are either (0x800 - 0x1fef800) or (0xfe000800 -
8778 0xfffff800). The default value is 0xfe000800.
8779
8780 XScale has resources to support two hardware breakpoints and two
8781 watchpoints. However, the following restrictions on watchpoint

8990 @var{TRACECLKIN_freq} [@var{trace_freq}]))
8991
8992 ARMv7-M architecture provides several modules to generate debugging
8993 information internally (ITM, DWT and ETM). Their output is directed
8994 through TPIU to be captured externally either on an SWO pin (this
8995 configuration is called SWV) or on a synchronous parallel trace port.
8996
8997 This command configures the TPIU module of the target and, if internal
8998 capture mode is selected, starts to capture trace output by using the
8999 debugger adapter features.
9000
9001 Some targets require additional actions to be performed in the
9002 @b{trace-config} handler for trace port to be activated.
9003
9004 Command options:
9005 @itemize @minus
9006 @item @option{disable} disable TPIU handling;
9007 @item @option{external} configure TPIU to let user capture trace
9008 output externally (with an additional UART or logic analyzer hardware);
9009 @item @option{internal @var{filename}} configure TPIU and debug adapter to
9010 gather trace data and append it to @var{filename} (which can be
9011 either a regular file or a named pipe);
9012 @item @option{internal -} configure TPIU and debug adapter to
9013 gather trace data, but not write to any file. Useful in conjunction with the @command{tcl_trace} command;
9014 @item @option{sync @var{port_width}} use synchronous parallel trace output
9015 mode, and set port width to @var{port_width};
9016 @item @option{manchester} use asynchronous SWO mode with Manchester

9020 @item @var{formatter_enable} is @option{on} or @option{off} to enable
9021 or disable TPIU formatter which needs to be used when both ITM and ETM
9022 data is to be output via SWO;
9023 @item @var{TRACECLKIN_freq} this should be specified to match target's
9024 current TRACECLKIN frequency (usually the same as HCLK);
9025 @item @var{trace_freq} trace port frequency. Can be omitted in

9032 @item STM32L152 board is programmed with an application that configures

9042 for that this ITM_STIM8 assignment can be used inside _write(); to make it
9043 blocking to avoid data loss, add @code{while (!(ITM_STIM8(0) &

9076 @deffn Command {cortex_m maskisr} (@option{auto}|@option{on}|@option{off})
9077 Control masking (disabling) interrupts during target step/resume.
9078
9079 The @option{auto} option handles interrupts during stepping in a way that they
9080 get served but don't disturb the program flow. The step command first allows
9081 pending interrupt handlers to execute, then disables interrupts and steps over
9082 the next instruction where the core was halted. After the step interrupts
9083 are enabled again. If the interrupt handlers don't complete within 500ms,
9084 the step command leaves with the core running.
9085
9086 Note that a free hardware (FPB) breakpoint is required for the @option{auto}
9087 option. If no breakpoint is available at the time of the step, then the step
9088 is taken with interrupts enabled, i.e. the same way the @option{off} option
9089 does.

9099 Parameters request interception of
9100 @option{all} of these hardware event vectors,
9101 @option{none} of them,
9102 or one or more of the following:
9103 @option{hard_err} for a HardFault exception;

9111 If NVIC setup code does not enable them,
9112 MemManage, BusFault, and UsageFault exceptions
9113 are mapped to HardFault.
9114 UsageFault checks for
9115 divide-by-zero and unaligned access
9116 must also be explicitly enabled.

9194 @subsection eSi-Trace Configuration
9195
9196 eSi-RISC targets may be configured with support for instruction tracing. Trace
9197 data may be written to an in-memory buffer or FIFO. If a FIFO is configured, DMA
9198 is typically employed to move trace data off-device using a high-speed
9199 peripheral (eg. SPI). Collected trace data is encoded in one of three different
9200 formats. At a minimum, @command{esirisc trace buffer} or @command{esirisc trace
9201 fifo} must be issued along with @command{esirisc trace format} before trace data
9202 can be collected.
9203
9204 OpenOCD provides rudimentary analysis of collected trace data. If more detail is
9205 needed, collected trace data can be dumped to a file and processed by external
9206 tooling.
9207
9208 @quotation Issues
9209 OpenOCD is unable to process trace data sent to a FIFO. A potential workaround
9210 for this issue is to configure DMA to copy trace data to an in-memory buffer,
9211 which can then be passed to the @command{esirisc trace analyze} and
9212 @command{esirisc trace dump} commands.
9213
9214 It is possible to corrupt trace data when using a FIFO if the peripheral
9215 responsible for draining data from the FIFO is not fast enough. This can be
9216 managed by enabling flow control, however this can impact timing-sensitive
9217 software operation on the CPU.

9439 @section RISC-V Architecture
9440
9441 @uref{http://riscv.org/, RISC-V} is a free and open ISA. OpenOCD supports JTAG
9442 debug of RV32 and RV64 cores in heterogeneous multicore systems of up to 32
9443 harts. (It's possible to increase this limit to 1024 by changing
9444 RISCV_MAX_HARTS in riscv.h.) OpenOCD primarily supports 0.13 of the RISC-V
9445 Debug Specification, but there is also support for legacy targets that
9446 implement version 0.11.
9447
9448 @subsection RISC-V Terminology
9449
9450 A @emph{hart} is a hardware thread. A hart may share resources (eg. FPU) with
9451 another hart, or may be a separate core. RISC-V treats those the same, and
9452 OpenOCD exposes each hart as a separate core.
9453
9454 @subsection RISC-V Debug Configuration Commands
9455
9456 @deffn Command {riscv expose_csrs} n0[-m0][,n1[-m1]]...
9457 Configure a list of inclusive ranges for CSRs to expose in addition to the
9458 standard ones. This must be executed before `init`.
9459
9460 By default OpenOCD attempts to expose only CSRs that are mentioned in a spec,
9461 and then only if the corresponding extension appears to be implemented. This
9462 command can be used if OpenOCD gets this wrong, or a target implements custom
9463 CSRs.
9464 @end deffn
9465
9466 @deffn Command {riscv expose_custom} n0[-m0][,n1[-m1]]...
9467 The RISC-V Debug Specification allows targets to expose custom registers
9468 through abstract commands. (See Section 3.5.1.1 in that document.) This command
9469 configures a list of inclusive ranges of those registers to expose. Number 0
9470 indicates the first custom register, whose abstract command number is 0xc000.
9471 This command must be executed before `init`.
9472 @end deffn
9473
9474 @deffn Command {riscv set_command_timeout_sec} [seconds]

9477 @end deffn
9478
9479 @deffn Command {riscv set_reset_timeout_sec} [seconds]
9480 Set the maximum time to wait for a hart to come out of reset after reset is

9496 example, when using the existing JTAG interface on a Xilinx FPGA by
9497 way of BSCANE2 primitives that only permit a limited selection of IR
9498 values.
9499
9500 When utilizing version 0.11 of the RISC-V Debug Specification,

9510 @example
9511 set challenge [ocd_riscv authdata_read]
9512 riscv authdata_write [expr $challenge + 1]
9513 @end example
9514
9515 @deffn Command {riscv authdata_read}
9516 Return the 32-bit value read from authdata. Note that to get read value back in
9517 a TCL script, it needs to be invoked as @command{ocd_riscv authdata_read}.
9518 @end deffn
9519

9528
9529 @deffn Command {riscv dmi_read}
9530 Perform a 32-bit DMI read at address, returning the value. Note that to get

9541 @cindex Linux-ARM DCC support
9542 @cindex tracing
9543 @cindex libdcc
9544 @cindex DCC
9545 OpenOCD can process certain requests from target software, when
9546 the target uses appropriate libraries.
9547 The most powerful mechanism is semihosting, but there is also
9548 a lighter weight mechanism using only the DCC channel.
9549
9550 Currently @command{target_request debugmsgs}
9551 is supported only for @option{arm7_9} and @option{cortex_m} cores.
9552 These messages are received as part of target polling, so
9553 you need to have @command{poll on} active to receive them.
9554 They are intrusive in that they will affect program execution
9555 times. If that is a problem, @pxref{armhardwaretracing,,ARM Hardware Tracing}.
9556
9557 See @file{libdcc} in the contrib dir for more details.
9558 In addition to sending strings, characters, and
9559 arrays of various size integers from the target,
9560 @file{libdcc} also exports a software trace point mechanism.
9561 The target being debugged may
9562 issue trace messages which include a 24-bit @dfn{trace point} number.
9563 Trace point support includes two distinct mechanisms,
9564 each supported by a command:
9565
9566 @itemize
9567 @item @emph{History} ... A circular buffer of trace points
9568 can be set up, and then displayed at any time.
9569 This tracks where code has been, which can be invaluable in
9570 finding out how some fault was triggered.
9571
9572 The buffer may overflow, since it collects records continuously.
9573 It may be useful to use some of the 24 bits to represent a
9574 particular event, and other bits to hold data.
9575
9576 @item @emph{Counting} ... An array of counters can be set up,
9577 and then displayed at any time.
9578 This can help establish code coverage and identify hot spots.
9579
9580 The array of counters is directly indexed by the trace point
9581 number, so trace points with higher numbers are not counted.
9582 @end itemize
9583
9584 Linux-ARM kernels have a ``Kernel low-level debugging
9585 via EmbeddedICE DCC channel'' option (CONFIG_DEBUG_ICEDCC,
9586 depends on CONFIG_DEBUG_LL) which uses this mechanism to
9587 deliver messages before a serial console can be activated.
9588 This is not the same format used by @file{libdcc}.
9589 Other software, such as the U-Boot boot loader, sometimes
9590 does the same thing.
9591
9592 @deffn Command {target_request debugmsgs} [@option{enable}|@option{disable}|@option{charmsg}]
9593 Displays current handling of target DCC message requests.
9594 These messages may be sent to the debugger while the target is running.
9595 The optional @option{enable} and @option{charmsg} parameters
9596 both enable the messages, while @option{disable} disables them.
9597
9598 With @option{charmsg} the DCC words each contain one character,
9599 as used by Linux with CONFIG_DEBUG_ICEDCC;
9600 otherwise the libdcc format is used.
9601 @end deffn
9602
9603 @deffn Command {trace history} [@option{clear}|count]
9604 With no parameter, displays all the trace points that have triggered
9605 in the order they triggered.
9606 With the parameter @option{clear}, erases all current trace history records.
9607 With a @var{count} parameter, allocates space for that many
9608 history records.
9609 @end deffn
9610
9611 @deffn Command {trace point} [@option{clear}|identifier]
9612 With no parameter, displays all trace point identifiers and how many times
9613 they have been triggered.
9614 With the parameter @option{clear}, erases all current trace point counters.
9615 With a numeric @var{identifier} parameter, creates a new a trace point counter
9616 and associates it with that identifier.
9617
9618 @emph{Important:} The identifier and the trace point number
9619 are not related except by this command.
9620 These trace point numbers always start at zero (from server startup,
9621 or after @command{trace point clear}) and count up from there.

9625 @node JTAG Commands
9626 @chapter JTAG Commands
9627 @cindex JTAG Commands
9628 Most general purpose JTAG commands have been presented earlier.
9629 (@xref{jtagspeed,,JTAG Speed}, @ref{Reset Configuration}, and @ref{TAP Declaration}.)
9630 Lower level JTAG commands, as presented here,
9631 may be needed to work with targets which require special
9632 attention during operations such as reset or initialization.
9633
9634 To use these commands you will need to understand some
9635 of the basics of JTAG, including:
9636
9637 @itemize @bullet
9638 @item A JTAG scan chain consists of a sequence of individual TAP
9639 devices such as a CPUs.
9640 @item Control operations involve moving each TAP through the same
9641 standard state machine (in parallel)
9642 using their shared TMS and clock signals.
9643 @item Data transfer involves shifting data through the chain of
9644 instruction or data registers of each TAP, writing new register values
9645 while the reading previous ones.
9646 @item Data register sizes are a function of the instruction active in
9647 a given TAP, while instruction register sizes are fixed for each TAP.
9648 All TAPs support a BYPASS instruction with a single bit data register.
9649 @item The way OpenOCD differentiates between TAP devices is by
9650 shifting different instructions into (and out of) their instruction
9651 registers.
9652 @end itemize
9653
9654 @section Low Level JTAG Commands
9655
9656 These commands are used by developers who need to access
9657 JTAG instruction or data registers, possibly controlling
9658 the order of TAP state transitions.
9659 If you're not debugging OpenOCD internals, or bringing up a
9660 new JTAG adapter or a new type of TAP device (like a CPU or
9661 JTAG router), you probably won't need to use these commands.
9662 In a debug session that doesn't use JTAG for its transport protocol,
9663 these commands are not available.
9664
9665 @deffn Command {drscan} tap [numbits value]+ [@option{-endstate} tap_state]
9666 Loads the data register of @var{tap} with a series of bit fields
9667 that specify the entire register.
9668 Each field is @var{numbits} bits long with
9669 a numeric @var{value} (hexadecimal encouraged).
9670 The return value holds the original value of each
9671 of those fields.
9672
9673 For example, a 38 bit number might be specified as one
9674 field of 32 bits then one of 6 bits.
9675 @emph{For portability, never pass fields which are more
9676 than 32 bits long. Many OpenOCD implementations do not
9677 support 64-bit (or larger) integer values.}
9678
9679 All TAPs other than @var{tap} must be in BYPASS mode.
9680 The single bit in their data registers does not matter.
9681
9682 When @var{tap_state} is specified, the JTAG state machine is left
9683 in that state.
9684 For example @sc{drpause} might be specified, so that more
9685 instructions can be issued before re-entering the @sc{run/idle} state.
9686 If the end state is not specified, the @sc{run/idle} state is entered.
9687
9688 @quotation Warning
9689 OpenOCD does not record information about data register lengths,
9690 so @emph{it is important that you get the bit field lengths right}.
9691 Remember that different JTAG instructions refer to different
9692 data registers, which may have different lengths.
9693 Moreover, those lengths may not be fixed;
9694 the SCAN_N instruction can change the length of
9695 the register accessed by the INTEST instruction
9696 (by connecting a different scan chain).
9697 @end quotation
9698 @end deffn
9699
9700 @deffn Command {flush_count}
9701 Returns the number of times the JTAG queue has been flushed.
9702 This may be used for performance tuning.
9703
9704 For example, flushing a queue over USB involves a
9705 minimum latency, often several milliseconds, which does
9706 not change with the amount of data which is written.
9707 You may be able to identify performance problems by finding
9708 tasks which waste bandwidth by flushing small transfers too often,
9709 instead of batching them into larger operations.
9710 @end deffn
9711
9712 @deffn Command {irscan} [tap instruction]+ [@option{-endstate} tap_state]
9713 For each @var{tap} listed, loads the instruction register
9714 with its associated numeric @var{instruction}.
9715 (The number of bits in that instruction may be displayed
9716 using the @command{scan_chain} command.)
9717 For other TAPs, a BYPASS instruction is loaded.
9718
9719 When @var{tap_state} is specified, the JTAG state machine is left
9720 in that state.
9721 For example @sc{irpause} might be specified, so the data register
9722 can be loaded before re-entering the @sc{run/idle} state.
9723 If the end state is not specified, the @sc{run/idle} state is entered.
9724
9725 @quotation Note
9726 OpenOCD currently supports only a single field for instruction
9727 register values, unlike data register values.
9728 For TAPs where the instruction register length is more than 32 bits,
9729 portable scripts currently must issue only BYPASS instructions.

9737 or @option{1}, indicating it is active (pulled or driven low).
9738 The @command{reset_config} command should already have been used
9739 to configure how the board and JTAG adapter treat these two
9740 signals, and to say if either signal is even present.
9741 @xref{Reset Configuration}.
9742
9743 Note that TRST is specially handled.
9744 It actually signifies JTAG's @sc{reset} state.
9745 So if the board doesn't support the optional TRST signal,
9746 or it doesn't support it along with the specified SRST value,
9747 JTAG reset is triggered with TMS and TCK signals
9748 instead of the TRST signal.
9749 And no matter how that JTAG reset is triggered, once
9750 the scan chain enters @sc{reset} with TRST inactive,
9751 TAP @code{post-reset} events are delivered to all TAPs
9752 with handlers for that event.

9886 Xilinx devices.
9887 In a debug session using JTAG for its transport protocol,
9888 OpenOCD supports running such test files.

9897 When a @var{tapname} is specified, the commands are directed at
9898 that TAP.
9899 When @option{virt2} is specified, the @sc{xruntest} command counts

9932
9933 There is often a need to stress-test random access memory (RAM) for
9934 errors. OpenOCD comes with a Tcl implementation of well-known memory
9935 testing procedures allowing the detection of all sorts of issues with
9936 electrical wiring, defective chips, PCB layout and other common
9937 hardware problems.
9938
9939 To use them, you usually need to initialise your RAM controller first;
9940 consult your SoC's documentation to get the recommended list of
9941 register operations and translate them to the corresponding
9942 @command{mww}/@command{mwb} commands.
9943
9944 Load the memory testing functions with
9945
9946 @example
9947 source [find tools/memtest.tcl]

9985 @chapter TFTP
9986 @cindex TFTP
9987 If OpenOCD runs on an embedded host (as ZY1000 does), then TFTP can
9988 be used to access files on PCs (either the developer's PC or some other PC).
9989
9990 The way this works on the ZY1000 is to prefix a filename by
9991 "/tftp/ip/" and append the TFTP path on the TFTP
9992 server (tftpd). For example,
9993
9994 @example
9995 load_image /tftp/10.0.0.96/c:\temp\abc.elf
9996 @end example
9997
9998 will load c:\temp\abc.elf from the developer pc (10.0.0.96) into memory as
9999 if the file was hosted on the embedded host.
10000
10001 In order to achieve decent performance, you must choose a TFTP server
10002 that supports a packet size bigger than the default packet size (512 bytes). There
10003 are numerous TFTP servers out there (free and commercial) and you will have to do
10004 a bit of googling to find something that fits your requirements.

10006 @node GDB and OpenOCD
10007 @chapter GDB and OpenOCD
10008 @cindex GDB
10009 OpenOCD complies with the remote gdbserver protocol and, as such, can be used
10010 to debug remote targets.
10011 Setting up GDB to work with OpenOCD can involve several components:
10012
10013 @itemize
10014 @item The OpenOCD server support for GDB may need to be configured.
10015 @xref{gdbconfiguration,,GDB Configuration}.
10016 @item GDB's support for OpenOCD may need configuration,
10017 as shown in this chapter.
10018 @item If you have a GUI environment like Eclipse,
10019 that also will probably need to be configured.
10020 @end itemize
10021
10022 Of course, the version of GDB you use will need to be one which has
10023 been built to know about the target CPU you're using. It's probably
10024 part of the tool chain you're using. For example, if you are doing
10025 cross-development for ARM on an x86 PC, instead of using the native
10026 x86 @command{gdb} command you might use @command{arm-none-eabi-gdb}
10027 if that's the tool chain used to compile your code.
10028
10029 @section Connecting to GDB
10030 @cindex Connecting to GDB
10031 Use GDB 6.7 or newer with OpenOCD if you run into trouble. For
10032 instance GDB 6.3 has a known bug that produces bogus memory access
10033 errors, which has since been fixed; see
10034 @url{http://osdir.com/ml/gdb.bugs.discuss/2004-12/msg00018.html}
10035
10036 OpenOCD can communicate with GDB in two ways:
10037
10038 @enumerate
10039 @item
10040 A socket (TCP/IP) connection is typically started as follows:
10041 @example
10042 target remote localhost:3333
10043 @end example
10044 This would cause GDB to connect to the gdbserver on the local pc using port 3333.
10045
10046 It is also possible to use the GDB extended remote protocol as follows:
10047 @example
10048 target extended-remote localhost:3333
10049 @end example
10050 @item
10051 A pipe connection is typically started as follows:
10052 @example
10053 target remote | openocd -c "gdb_port pipe; log_output openocd.log"
10054 @end example
10055 This would cause GDB to run OpenOCD and communicate using pipes (stdin/stdout).
10056 Using this method has the advantage of GDB starting/stopping OpenOCD for the debug
10057 session. log_output sends the log output to a file to ensure that the pipe is
10058 not saturated when using higher debug level outputs.
10059 @end enumerate
10060
10061 To list the available OpenOCD commands type @command{monitor help} on the
10062 GDB command line.
10063
10064 @section Sample GDB session startup
10065
10066 With the remote protocol, GDB sessions start a little differently
10067 than they do when you're debugging locally.
10068 Here's an example showing how to start a debug session with a
10069 small ARM program.
10070 In this case the program was linked to be loaded into SRAM on a Cortex-M3.
10071 Most programs would be written into flash (address 0) and run from there.
10072
10073 @example
10074 $ arm-none-eabi-gdb example.elf
10075 (gdb) target remote localhost:3333
10076 Remote debugging using localhost:3333
10077 ...
10078 (gdb) monitor reset halt
10079 ...
10080 (gdb) load
10081 Loading section .vectors, size 0x100 lma 0x20000000
10082 Loading section .text, size 0x5a0 lma 0x20000100
10083 Loading section .data, size 0x18 lma 0x200006a0
10084 Start address 0x2000061c, load size 1720
10085 Transfer rate: 22 KB/sec, 573 bytes/write.
10086 (gdb) continue
10087 Continuing.
10088 ...
10089 @end example
10090
10091 You could then interrupt the GDB session to make the program break,
10092 type @command{where} to show the stack, @command{list} to show the
10093 code around the program counter, @command{step} through code,
10094 set breakpoints or watchpoints, and so on.
10095
10096 @section Configuring GDB for OpenOCD
10097
10098 OpenOCD supports the gdb @option{qSupported} packet, this enables information
10099 to be sent by the GDB remote server (i.e. OpenOCD) to GDB. Typical information includes
10100 packet size and the device's memory map.
10101 You do not need to configure the packet size by hand,
10102 and the relevant parts of the memory map should be automatically
10103 set up when you declare (NOR) flash banks.
10104
10105 However, there are other things which GDB can't currently query.
10106 You may need to set those up by hand.
10107 As OpenOCD starts up, you will often see a line reporting
10108 something like:
10109
10110 @example
10111 Info : lm3s.cpu: hardware has 6 breakpoints, 4 watchpoints
10112 @end example
10113
10114 You can pass that information to GDB with these commands:
10115
10116 @example
10117 set remote hardware-breakpoint-limit 6
10118 set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 4
10119 @end example
10120
10121 With that particular hardware (Cortex-M3) the hardware breakpoints
10122 only work for code running from flash memory. Most other ARM systems
10123 do not have such restrictions.
10124
10125 Rather than typing such commands interactively, you may prefer to
10126 save them in a file and have GDB execute them as it starts, perhaps
10127 using a @file{.gdbinit} in your project directory or starting GDB
10128 using @command{gdb -x filename}.
10129
10130 @section Programming using GDB
10131 @cindex Programming using GDB
10132 @anchor{programmingusinggdb}
10133
10134 By default the target memory map is sent to GDB. This can be disabled by
10135 the following OpenOCD configuration option:
10136 @example
10137 gdb_memory_map disable
10138 @end example
10139 For this to function correctly a valid flash configuration must also be set
10140 in OpenOCD. For faster performance you should also configure a valid
10141 working area.
10142
10143 Informing GDB of the memory map of the target will enable GDB to protect any
10144 flash areas of the target and use hardware breakpoints by default. This means
10145 that the OpenOCD option @command{gdb_breakpoint_override} is not required when
10146 using a memory map. @xref{gdbbreakpointoverride,,gdb_breakpoint_override}.
10147
10148 To view the configured memory map in GDB, use the GDB command @option{info mem}.
10149 All other unassigned addresses within GDB are treated as RAM.
10150
10151 GDB 6.8 and higher set any memory area not in the memory map as inaccessible.
10152 This can be changed to the old behaviour by using the following GDB command
10153 @example
10154 set mem inaccessible-by-default off
10155 @end example
10156
10157 If @command{gdb_flash_program enable} is also used, GDB will be able to
10158 program any flash memory using the vFlash interface.
10159
10160 GDB will look at the target memory map when a load command is given, if any
10161 areas to be programmed lie within the target flash area the vFlash packets
10162 will be used.
10163
10164 If the target needs configuring before GDB programming, set target
10165 event gdb-flash-erase-start:
10166 @example
10167 $_TARGETNAME configure -event gdb-flash-erase-start BODY
10168 @end example
10169 @xref{targetevents,,Target Events}, for other GDB programming related events.
10170
10171 To verify any flash programming the GDB command @option{compare-sections}
10172 can be used.

10178 If your project controls more than a blinking LED, let's say a heavy industrial
10179 robot or an experimental nuclear reactor, stopping the controlling process
10180 just because you want to attach GDB is not a good option.
10181
10182 OpenOCD does not support GDB non-stop mode (might be implemented in the future).
10183 Though there is a possible setup where the target does not get stopped
10184 and GDB treats it as it were running.
10185 If the target supports background access to memory while it is running,
10186 you can use GDB in this mode to inspect memory (mainly global variables)
10187 without any intrusion of the target process.
10188
10189 Remove default setting of gdb-attach event. @xref{targetevents,,Target Events}.
10190 Place following command after target configuration:
10191 @example
10192 $_TARGETNAME configure -event gdb-attach @{@}
10193 @end example
10194
10195 If any of installed flash banks does not support probe on running target,
10196 switch off gdb_memory_map:
10197 @example
10198 gdb_memory_map disable
10199 @end example
10200
10201 Ensure GDB is configured without interrupt-on-connect.
10202 Some GDB versions set it by default, some does not.
10203 @example
10204 set remote interrupt-on-connect off
10205 @end example
10206
10207 If you switched gdb_memory_map off, you may want to setup GDB memory map
10208 manually or issue @command{set mem inaccessible-by-default off}
10209
10210 Now you can issue GDB command @command{target remote ...} and inspect memory
10211 of a running target. Do not use GDB commands @command{continue},
10212 @command{step} or @command{next} as they synchronize GDB with your target
10213 and GDB would require stopping the target to get the prompt back.
10214
10215 Do not use this mode under an IDE like Eclipse as it caches values of
10216 previously shown varibles.

10251 Before an RTOS can be detected, it must export certain symbols; otherwise, it cannot
10252 be used by OpenOCD. Below is a list of the required symbols for each supported RTOS.

10286 For most RTOS supported the above symbols will be exported by default. However for
10287 some, eg. FreeRTOS and uC/OS-III, extra steps must be taken.

10300 @section Using OpenOCD SMP with GDB
10301 @cindex SMP
10302 @cindex RTOS
10303 @cindex hwthread
10304 OpenOCD includes a pseudo RTOS called @emph{hwthread} that presents CPU cores
10305 ("hardware threads") in an SMP system as threads to GDB. With this extension,
10306 GDB can be used to inspect the state of an SMP system in a natural way.
10307 After halting the system, using the GDB command @command{info threads} will
10308 list the context of each active CPU core in the system. GDB's @command{thread}
10309 command can be used to switch the view to a different CPU core.
10310 The @command{step} and @command{stepi} commands can be used to step a specific core
10311 while other cores are free-running or remain halted, depending on the
10312 scheduler-locking mode configured in GDB.
10313
10314 @section Legacy SMP core switching support
10315 @quotation Note
10316 This method is deprecated in favor of the @emph{hwthread} pseudo RTOS.
10317 @end quotation
10318
10319 For SMP support following GDB serial protocol packet have been defined :
10320 @itemize @bullet
10321 @item j - smp status request
10322 @item J - smp set request
10323 @end itemize
10324
10325 OpenOCD implements :
10326 @itemize @bullet
10327 @item @option{jc} packet for reading core id displayed by
10328 GDB connection. Reply is @option{XXXXXXXX} (8 hex digits giving core id) or
10329 @option{E01} for target not smp.
10330 @item @option{JcXXXXXXXX} (8 hex digits) packet for setting core id displayed at next GDB continue
10331 (core id -1 is reserved for returning to normal resume mode). Reply @option{E01}
10332 for target not smp or @option{OK} on success.
10333 @end itemize
10334
10335 Handling of this packet within GDB can be done :
10336 @itemize @bullet
10337 @item by the creation of an internal variable (i.e @option{_core}) by mean
10338 of function allocate_computed_value allowing following GDB command.
10339 @example
10340 set $_core 1
10341 #Jc01 packet is sent
10342 print $_core
10343 #jc packet is sent and result is affected in $
10344 @end example
10345
10346 @item by the usage of GDB maintenance command as described in following example (2 cpus in SMP with
10347 core id 0 and 1 @pxref{definecputargetsworkinginsmp,,Define CPU targets working in SMP}).

10366 @chapter Tcl Scripting API
10367 @cindex Tcl Scripting API
10368 @cindex Tcl scripts
10369 @section API rules
10370
10371 Tcl commands are stateless; e.g. the @command{telnet} command has
10372 a concept of currently active target, the Tcl API proc's take this sort
10373 of state information as an argument to each proc.
10374
10375 There are three main types of return values: single value, name value
10376 pair list and lists.
10377
10378 Name value pair. The proc 'foo' below returns a name/value pair
10379 list.
10380
10381 @example
10382 > set foo(me) Duane
10383 > set foo(you) Oyvind
10384 > set foo(mouse) Micky
10385 > set foo(duck) Donald
10386 @end example
10387
10388 If one does this:
10389
10390 @example
10391 > set foo
10392 @end example
10393
10394 The result is:
10395
10396 @example
10397 me Duane you Oyvind mouse Micky duck Donald
10398 @end example
10399
10400 Thus, to get the names of the associative array is easy:
10401
10402 @verbatim
10403 foreach { name value } [set foo] {
10404 puts "Name: $name, Value: $value"
10405 }
10406 @end verbatim
10407
10408 Lists returned should be relatively small. Otherwise, a range
10409 should be passed in to the proc in question.
10410
10411 @section Internal low-level Commands
10412
10413 By "low-level," we mean commands that a human would typically not
10414 invoke directly.
10415
10416 Some low-level commands need to be prefixed with "ocd_"; e.g.
10417 @command{ocd_flash_banks}
10418 is the low-level API upon which @command{flash banks} is implemented.
10419
10420 @itemize @bullet
10421 @item @b{mem2array} <@var{varname}> <@var{width}> <@var{addr}> <@var{nelems}>
10422
10423 Read memory and return as a Tcl array for script processing
10424 @item @b{array2mem} <@var{varname}> <@var{width}> <@var{addr}> <@var{nelems}>
10425
10426 Convert a Tcl array to memory locations and write the values
10427 @item @b{ocd_flash_banks} <@var{driver}> <@var{base}> <@var{size}> <@var{chip_width}> <@var{bus_width}> <@var{target}> [@option{driver options} ...]
10428
10429 Return information about the flash banks
10430
10431 @item @b{capture} <@var{command}>
10432
10433 Run <@var{command}> and return full log output that was produced during
10434 its execution. Example:
10435
10436 @example
10437 > capture "reset init"
10438 @end example
10439
10440 @end itemize
10441
10442 OpenOCD commands can consist of two words, e.g. "flash banks". The
10443 @file{startup.tcl} "unknown" proc will translate this into a Tcl proc
10444 called "flash_banks".
10445
10446 @section OpenOCD specific Global Variables
10447
10448 Real Tcl has ::tcl_platform(), and platform::identify, and many other
10449 variables. JimTCL, as implemented in OpenOCD creates $ocd_HOSTOS which
10450 holds one of the following values:
10451
10452 @itemize @bullet
10453 @item @b{cygwin} Running under Cygwin
10454 @item @b{darwin} Darwin (Mac-OS) is the underlying operating system.
10455 @item @b{freebsd} Running under FreeBSD
10456 @item @b{openbsd} Running under OpenBSD
10457 @item @b{netbsd} Running under NetBSD
10458 @item @b{linux} Linux is the underlying operating system
10459 @item @b{mingw32} Running under MingW32
10460 @item @b{winxx} Built using Microsoft Visual Studio
10461 @item @b{ecos} Running under eCos
10462 @item @b{other} Unknown, none of the above.
10463 @end itemize
10464
10465 Note: 'winxx' was chosen because today (March-2009) no distinction is made between Win32 and Win64.
10466
10467 @quotation Note
10468 We should add support for a variable like Tcl variable
10469 @code{tcl_platform(platform)}, it should be called
10470 @code{jim_platform} (because it
10471 is jim, not real tcl).
10472 @end quotation

10474 @section Tcl RPC server
10475 @cindex RPC
10476
10477 OpenOCD provides a simple RPC server that allows to run arbitrary Tcl
10478 commands and receive the results.
10479
10480 To access it, your application needs to connect to a configured TCP port
10481 (see @command{tcl_port}). Then it can pass any string to the
10482 interpreter terminating it with @code{0x1a} and wait for the return
10483 value (it will be terminated with @code{0x1a} as well). This can be
10484 repeated as many times as desired without reopening the connection.
10485
10486 Remember that most of the OpenOCD commands need to be prefixed with
10487 @code{ocd_} to get the results back. Sometimes you might also need the
10488 @command{capture} command.
10489
10490 See @file{contrib/rpc_examples/} for specific client implementations.
10491
10492 @section Tcl RPC server notifications
10493 @cindex RPC Notifications
10494
10495 Notifications are sent asynchronously to other commands being executed over
10496 the RPC server, so the port must be polled continuously.
10497
10498 Target event, state and reset notifications are emitted as Tcl associative arrays
10499 in the following format.
10500
10501 @verbatim
10502 type target_event event [event-name]
10503 type target_state state [state-name]
10504 type target_reset mode [reset-mode]

10541 @item @b{RTCK, also known as: Adaptive Clocking - What is it?}
10542 @cindex RTCK
10543 @cindex adaptive clocking
10544 @*
10545
10546 In digital circuit design it is often referred to as ``clock
10547 synchronisation'' the JTAG interface uses one clock (TCK or TCLK)
10548 operating at some speed, your CPU target is operating at another.
10549 The two clocks are not synchronised, they are ``asynchronous''
10550
10551 In order for the two to work together they must be synchronised
10552 well enough to work; JTAG can't go ten times faster than the CPU,
10553 for example. There are 2 basic options:
10554 @enumerate
10555 @item
10556 Use a special "adaptive clocking" circuit to change the JTAG
10557 clock rate to match what the CPU currently supports.
10558 @item
10559 The JTAG clock must be fixed at some speed that's enough slower than
10560 the CPU clock that all TMS and TDI transitions can be detected.
10561 @end enumerate
10562
10563 @b{Does this really matter?} For some chips and some situations, this
10564 is a non-issue, like a 500MHz ARM926 with a 5 MHz JTAG link;
10565 the CPU has no difficulty keeping up with JTAG.
10566 Startup sequences are often problematic though, as are other
10567 situations where the CPU clock rate changes (perhaps to save
10568 power).
10569
10570 For example, Atmel AT91SAM chips start operation from reset with
10571 a 32kHz system clock. Boot firmware may activate the main oscillator
10572 and PLL before switching to a faster clock (perhaps that 500 MHz
10573 ARM926 scenario).
10574 If you're using JTAG to debug that startup sequence, you must slow
10575 the JTAG clock to sometimes 1 to 4kHz. After startup completes,
10576 JTAG can use a faster clock.
10577
10578 Consider also debugging a 500MHz ARM926 hand held battery powered
10579 device that enters a low power ``deep sleep'' mode, at 32kHz CPU
10580 clock, between keystrokes unless it has work to do. When would
10581 that 5 MHz JTAG clock be usable?
10582
10583 @b{Solution #1 - A special circuit}
10584
10585 In order to make use of this,
10586 your CPU, board, and JTAG adapter must all support the RTCK
10587 feature. Not all of them support this; keep reading!
10588
10589 The RTCK ("Return TCK") signal in some ARM chips is used to help with
10590 this problem. ARM has a good description of the problem described at
10591 this link: @url{http://www.arm.com/support/faqdev/4170.html} [checked
10592 28/nov/2008]. Link title: ``How does the JTAG synchronisation logic
10593 work? / how does adaptive clocking work?''.
10594
10595 The nice thing about adaptive clocking is that ``battery powered hand
10596 held device example'' - the adaptiveness works perfectly all the
10597 time. One can set a break point or halt the system in the deep power
10598 down code, slow step out until the system speeds up.
10599
10600 Note that adaptive clocking may also need to work at the board level,
10601 when a board-level scan chain has multiple chips.
10602 Parallel clock voting schemes are good way to implement this,
10603 both within and between chips, and can easily be implemented
10604 with a CPLD.
10605 It's not difficult to have logic fan a module's input TCK signal out
10606 to each TAP in the scan chain, and then wait until each TAP's RTCK comes
10607 back with the right polarity before changing the output RTCK signal.
10608 Texas Instruments makes some clock voting logic available
10609 for free (with no support) in VHDL form; see
10610 @url{http://tiexpressdsp.com/index.php/Adaptive_Clocking}
10611
10612 @b{Solution #2 - Always works - but may be slower}
10613
10614 Often this is a perfectly acceptable solution.
10615
10616 In most simple terms: Often the JTAG clock must be 1/10 to 1/12 of
10617 the target clock speed. But what that ``magic division'' is varies
10618 depending on the chips on your board.
10619 @b{ARM rule of thumb} Most ARM based systems require an 6:1 division;
10620 ARM11 cores use an 8:1 division.
10621 @b{Xilinx rule of thumb} is 1/12 the clock speed.
10622
10623 Note: most full speed FT2232 based JTAG adapters are limited to a
10624 maximum of 6MHz. The ones using USB high speed chips (FT2232H)
10625 often support faster clock rates (and adaptive clocking).
10626
10627 You can still debug the 'low power' situations - you just need to
10628 either use a fixed and very slow JTAG clock rate ... or else
10629 manually adjust the clock speed at every step. (Adjusting is painful
10630 and tedious, and is not always practical.)
10631
10632 It is however easy to ``code your way around it'' - i.e.: Cheat a little,
10633 have a special debug mode in your application that does a ``high power
10634 sleep''. If you are careful - 98% of your problems can be debugged
10635 this way.
10636
10637 Note that on ARM you may need to avoid using the @emph{wait for interrupt}
10638 operation in your idle loops even if you don't otherwise change the CPU
10639 clock rate.
10640 That operation gates the CPU clock, and thus the JTAG clock; which
10641 prevents JTAG access. One consequence is not being able to @command{halt}
10642 cores which are executing that @emph{wait for interrupt} operation.
10643
10644 To set the JTAG frequency use the command:
10645
10646 @example
10647 # Example: 1.234MHz
10648 adapter_khz 1234
10649 @end example
10650
10651
10652 @item @b{Win32 Pathnames} Why don't backslashes work in Windows paths?
10653
10654 OpenOCD uses Tcl and a backslash is an escape char. Use @{ and @}
10655 around Windows filenames.
10656
10657 @example
10658 > echo \a
10659
10660 > echo @{\a@}
10661 \a
10662 > echo "\a"
10663
10664 >
10665 @end example
10666
10667
10668 @item @b{Missing: cygwin1.dll} OpenOCD complains about a missing cygwin1.dll.
10669
10670 Make sure you have Cygwin installed, or at least a version of OpenOCD that
10671 claims to come with all the necessary DLLs. When using Cygwin, try launching
10672 OpenOCD from the Cygwin shell.
10673
10674 @item @b{Breakpoint Issue} I'm trying to set a breakpoint using GDB (or a front-end like Insight or
10675 Eclipse), but OpenOCD complains that "Info: arm7_9_common.c:213
10676 arm7_9_add_breakpoint(): sw breakpoint requested, but software breakpoints not enabled".
10677
10678 GDB issues software breakpoints when a normal breakpoint is requested, or to implement
10679 source-line single-stepping. On ARMv4T systems, like ARM7TDMI, ARM720T or ARM920T,
10680 software breakpoints consume one of the two available hardware breakpoints.
10681
10682 @item @b{LPC2000 Flash} When erasing or writing LPC2000 on-chip flash, the operation fails at random.
10683
10684 Make sure the core frequency specified in the @option{flash lpc2000} line matches the
10685 clock at the time you're programming the flash. If you've specified the crystal's
10686 frequency, make sure the PLL is disabled. If you've specified the full core speed
10687 (e.g. 60MHz), make sure the PLL is enabled.
10688
10689 @item @b{Amontec Chameleon} When debugging using an Amontec Chameleon in its JTAG Accelerator configuration,
10690 I keep getting "Error: amt_jtagaccel.c:184 amt_wait_scan_busy(): amt_jtagaccel timed
10691 out while waiting for end of scan, rtck was disabled".
10692
10693 Make sure your PC's parallel port operates in EPP mode. You might have to try several
10694 settings in your PC BIOS (ECP, EPP, and different versions of those).
10695
10696 @item @b{Data Aborts} When debugging with OpenOCD and GDB (plain GDB, Insight, or Eclipse),
10697 I get lots of "Error: arm7_9_common.c:1771 arm7_9_read_memory():
10698 memory read caused data abort".
10699
10700 The errors are non-fatal, and are the result of GDB trying to trace stack frames
10701 beyond the last valid frame. It might be possible to prevent this by setting up
10702 a proper "initial" stack frame, if you happen to know what exactly has to
10703 be done, feel free to add this here.
10704
10705 @b{Simple:} In your startup code - push 8 registers of zeros onto the
10706 stack before calling main(). What GDB is doing is ``climbing'' the run
10707 time stack by reading various values on the stack using the standard
10708 call frame for the target. GDB keeps going - until one of 2 things
10709 happen @b{#1} an invalid frame is found, or @b{#2} some huge number of
10710 stackframes have been processed. By pushing zeros on the stack, GDB
10711 gracefully stops.
10712
10713 @b{Debugging Interrupt Service Routines} - In your ISR before you call
10714 your C code, do the same - artificially push some zeros onto the stack,
10715 remember to pop them off when the ISR is done.
10716
10717 @b{Also note:} If you have a multi-threaded operating system, they
10718 often do not @b{in the intrest of saving memory} waste these few
10719 bytes. Painful...
10720
10721
10722 @item @b{JTAG Reset Config} I get the following message in the OpenOCD console (or log file):
10723 "Warning: arm7_9_common.c:679 arm7_9_assert_reset(): srst resets test logic, too".
10724
10725 This warning doesn't indicate any serious problem, as long as you don't want to
10726 debug your core right out of reset. Your .cfg file specified @option{jtag_reset
10727 trst_and_srst srst_pulls_trst} to tell OpenOCD that either your board,
10728 your debugger or your target uC (e.g. LPC2000) can't assert the two reset signals
10729 independently. With this setup, it's not possible to halt the core right out of
10730 reset, everything else should work fine.
10731
10732 @item @b{USB Power} When using OpenOCD in conjunction with Amontec JTAGkey and the Yagarto
10733 toolchain (Eclipse, arm-elf-gcc, arm-elf-gdb), the debugging seems to be
10734 unstable. When single-stepping over large blocks of code, GDB and OpenOCD
10735 quit with an error message. Is there a stability issue with OpenOCD?
10736
10737 No, this is not a stability issue concerning OpenOCD. Most users have solved
10738 this issue by simply using a self-powered USB hub, which they connect their
10739 Amontec JTAGkey to. Apparently, some computers do not provide a USB power
10740 supply stable enough for the Amontec JTAGkey to be operated.
10741
10742 @b{Laptops running on battery have this problem too...}
10743
10744 @item @b{GDB Disconnects} When using the Amontec JTAGkey, sometimes OpenOCD crashes with the following
10745 error message: "Error: gdb_server.c:101 gdb_get_char(): read: 10054".
10746 What does that mean and what might be the reason for this?
10747
10748 Error code 10054 corresponds to WSAECONNRESET, which means that the debugger (GDB)
10749 has closed the connection to OpenOCD. This might be a GDB issue.
10750
10751 @item @b{LPC2000 Flash} In the configuration file in the section where flash device configurations
10752 are described, there is a parameter for specifying the clock frequency
10753 for LPC2000 internal flash devices (e.g. @option{flash bank $_FLASHNAME lpc2000
10754 0x0 0x40000 0 0 $_TARGETNAME lpc2000_v1 14746 calc_checksum}), which must be
10755 specified in kilohertz. However, I do have a quartz crystal of a
10756 frequency that contains fractions of kilohertz (e.g. 14,745,600 Hz,
10757 i.e. 14,745.600 kHz). Is it possible to specify real numbers for the
10758 clock frequency?
10759
10760 No. The clock frequency specified here must be given as an integral number.
10761 However, this clock frequency is used by the In-Application-Programming (IAP)
10762 routines of the LPC2000 family only, which seems to be very tolerant concerning
10763 the given clock frequency, so a slight difference between the specified clock
10764 frequency and the actual clock frequency will not cause any trouble.
10765
10766 @item @b{Command Order} Do I have to keep a specific order for the commands in the configuration file?
10767
10768 Well, yes and no. Commands can be given in arbitrary order, yet the
10769 devices listed for the JTAG scan chain must be given in the right
10770 order (jtag newdevice), with the device closest to the TDO-Pin being
10771 listed first. In general, whenever objects of the same type exist
10772 which require an index number, then these objects must be given in the
10773 right order (jtag newtap, targets and flash banks - a target
10774 references a jtag newtap and a flash bank references a target).
10775
10776 You can use the ``scan_chain'' command to verify and display the tap order.
10777
10778 Also, some commands can't execute until after @command{init} has been
10779 processed. Such commands include @command{nand probe} and everything
10780 else that needs to write to controller registers, perhaps for setting
10781 up DRAM and loading it with code.
10782
10783 @anchor{faqtaporder}
10784 @item @b{JTAG TAP Order} Do I have to declare the TAPS in some
10785 particular order?
10786
10787 Yes; whenever you have more than one, you must declare them in
10788 the same order used by the hardware.
10789
10790 Many newer devices have multiple JTAG TAPs. For example:
10791 STMicroelectronics STM32 chips have two TAPs, a ``boundary scan TAP'' and
10792 ``Cortex-M3'' TAP. Example: The STM32 reference manual, Document ID:
10793 RM0008, Section 26.5, Figure 259, page 651/681, the ``TDI'' pin is
10794 connected to the boundary scan TAP, which then connects to the
10795 Cortex-M3 TAP, which then connects to the TDO pin.
10796
10797 Thus, the proper order for the STM32 chip is: (1) The Cortex-M3, then
10798 (2) The boundary scan TAP. If your board includes an additional JTAG
10799 chip in the scan chain (for example a Xilinx CPLD or FPGA) you could
10800 place it before or after the STM32 chip in the chain. For example:
10801
10802 @itemize @bullet
10803 @item OpenOCD_TDI(output) -> STM32 TDI Pin (BS Input)
10804 @item STM32 BS TDO (output) -> STM32 Cortex-M3 TDI (input)
10805 @item STM32 Cortex-M3 TDO (output) -> SM32 TDO Pin
10806 @item STM32 TDO Pin (output) -> Xilinx TDI Pin (input)
10807 @item Xilinx TDO Pin -> OpenOCD TDO (input)
10808 @end itemize
10809
10810 The ``jtag device'' commands would thus be in the order shown below. Note:
10811
10812 @itemize @bullet
10813 @item jtag newtap Xilinx tap -irlen ...
10814 @item jtag newtap stm32 cpu -irlen ...
10815 @item jtag newtap stm32 bs -irlen ...
10816 @item # Create the debug target and say where it is
10817 @item target create stm32.cpu -chain-position stm32.cpu ...
10818 @end itemize
10819
10820
10821 @item @b{SYSCOMP} Sometimes my debugging session terminates with an error. When I look into the
10822 log file, I can see these error messages: Error: arm7_9_common.c:561
10823 arm7_9_execute_sys_speed(): timeout waiting for SYSCOMP

10831 @cindex Tcl
10832
10833 Not everyone knows Tcl - this is not intended to be a replacement for
10834 learning Tcl, the intent of this chapter is to give you some idea of
10835 how the Tcl scripts work.
10836
10837 This chapter is written with two audiences in mind. (1) OpenOCD users
10838 who need to understand a bit more of how Jim-Tcl works so they can do
10839 something useful, and (2) those that want to add a new command to
10840 OpenOCD.
10841
10842 @section Tcl Rule #1
10843 There is a famous joke, it goes like this:
10844 @enumerate
10845 @item Rule #1: The wife is always correct
10846 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
10847 @end enumerate
10848
10849 The Tcl equal is this:
10850
10851 @enumerate
10852 @item Rule #1: Everything is a string
10853 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
10854 @end enumerate
10855
10856 As in the famous joke, the consequences of Rule #1 are profound. Once
10857 you understand Rule #1, you will understand Tcl.
10858
10859 @section Tcl Rule #1b
10860 There is a second pair of rules.
10861 @enumerate
10862 @item Rule #1: Control flow does not exist. Only commands
10863 @* For example: the classic FOR loop or IF statement is not a control
10864 flow item, they are commands, there is no such thing as control flow
10865 in Tcl.
10866 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
10867 @* Actually what happens is this: There are commands that by
10868 convention, act like control flow key words in other languages. One of
10869 those commands is the word ``for'', another command is ``if''.
10870 @end enumerate
10871
10872 @section Per Rule #1 - All Results are strings
10873 Every Tcl command results in a string. The word ``result'' is used
10874 deliberately. No result is just an empty string. Remember: @i{Rule #1 -
10875 Everything is a string}
10876
10877 @section Tcl Quoting Operators
10878 In life of a Tcl script, there are two important periods of time, the
10879 difference is subtle.
10880 @enumerate
10881 @item Parse Time
10882 @item Evaluation Time
10883 @end enumerate
10884
10885 The two key items here are how ``quoted things'' work in Tcl. Tcl has
10886 three primary quoting constructs, the [square-brackets] the
10887 @{curly-braces@} and ``double-quotes''
10888
10889 By now you should know $VARIABLES always start with a $DOLLAR
10890 sign. BTW: To set a variable, you actually use the command ``set'', as
10891 in ``set VARNAME VALUE'' much like the ancient BASIC language ``let x
10892 = 1'' statement, but without the equal sign.
10893
10894 @itemize @bullet
10895 @item @b{[square-brackets]}
10896 @* @b{[square-brackets]} are command substitutions. It operates much
10897 like Unix Shell `back-ticks`. The result of a [square-bracket]
10898 operation is exactly 1 string. @i{Remember Rule #1 - Everything is a
10899 string}. These two statements are roughly identical:
10900 @example
10901 # bash example
10902 X=`date`
10903 echo "The Date is: $X"
10904 # Tcl example
10905 set X [date]
10906 puts "The Date is: $X"
10907 @end example
10908 @item @b{``double-quoted-things''}
10909 @* @b{``double-quoted-things''} are just simply quoted
10910 text. $VARIABLES and [square-brackets] are expanded in place - the
10911 result however is exactly 1 string. @i{Remember Rule #1 - Everything
10912 is a string}
10913 @example
10914 set x "Dinner"
10915 puts "It is now \"[date]\", $x is in 1 hour"
10916 @end example
10917 @item @b{@{Curly-Braces@}}
10918 @*@b{@{Curly-Braces@}} are magic: $VARIABLES and [square-brackets] are
10919 parsed, but are NOT expanded or executed. @{Curly-Braces@} are like
10920 'single-quote' operators in BASH shell scripts, with the added
10921 feature: @{curly-braces@} can be nested, single quotes can not. @{@{@{this is
10922 nested 3 times@}@}@} NOTE: [date] is a bad example;
10923 at this writing, Jim/OpenOCD does not have a date command.
10924 @end itemize
10925
10926 @section Consequences of Rule 1/2/3/4
10927
10928 The consequences of Rule 1 are profound.
10929
10930 @subsection Tokenisation & Execution.
10931
10932 Of course, whitespace, blank lines and #comment lines are handled in
10933 the normal way.
10934
10935 As a script is parsed, each (multi) line in the script file is
10936 tokenised and according to the quoting rules. After tokenisation, that
10937 line is immediately executed.
10938
10939 Multi line statements end with one or more ``still-open''
10940 @{curly-braces@} which - eventually - closes a few lines later.
10941
10942 @subsection Command Execution
10943
10944 Remember earlier: There are no ``control flow''
10945 statements in Tcl. Instead there are COMMANDS that simply act like
10946 control flow operators.
10947
10948 Commands are executed like this:
10949
10950 @enumerate
10951 @item Parse the next line into (argc) and (argv[]).
10952 @item Look up (argv[0]) in a table and call its function.
10953 @item Repeat until End Of File.
10954 @end enumerate
10955
10956 It sort of works like this:
10957 @example
10958 for(;;)@{
10959 ReadAndParse( &argc, &argv );
10960
10961 cmdPtr = LookupCommand( argv[0] );
10962
10963 (*cmdPtr->Execute)( argc, argv );
10964 @}
10965 @end example
10966
10967 When the command ``proc'' is parsed (which creates a procedure
10968 function) it gets 3 parameters on the command line. @b{1} the name of
10969 the proc (function), @b{2} the list of parameters, and @b{3} the body
10970 of the function. Not the choice of words: LIST and BODY. The PROC
10971 command stores these items in a table somewhere so it can be found by
10972 ``LookupCommand()''
10973
10974 @subsection The FOR command
10975
10976 The most interesting command to look at is the FOR command. In Tcl,
10977 the FOR command is normally implemented in C. Remember, FOR is a
10978 command just like any other command.
10979
10980 When the ascii text containing the FOR command is parsed, the parser
10981 produces 5 parameter strings, @i{(If in doubt: Refer to Rule #1)} they
10982 are:
10983
10984 @enumerate 0
10985 @item The ascii text 'for'
10986 @item The start text
10987 @item The test expression
10988 @item The next text
10989 @item The body text
10990 @end enumerate
10991
10992 Sort of reminds you of ``main( int argc, char **argv )'' does it not?
10993 Remember @i{Rule #1 - Everything is a string.} The key point is this:
10994 Often many of those parameters are in @{curly-braces@} - thus the
10995 variables inside are not expanded or replaced until later.
10996
10997 Remember that every Tcl command looks like the classic ``main( argc,
10998 argv )'' function in C. In JimTCL - they actually look like this:
10999
11000 @example
11001 int
11002 MyCommand( Jim_Interp *interp,
11003 int *argc,
11004 Jim_Obj * const *argvs );
11005 @end example
11006
11007 Real Tcl is nearly identical. Although the newer versions have
11008 introduced a byte-code parser and interpreter, but at the core, it
11009 still operates in the same basic way.
11010
11011 @subsection FOR command implementation
11012
11013 To understand Tcl it is perhaps most helpful to see the FOR
11014 command. Remember, it is a COMMAND not a control flow structure.
11015
11016 In Tcl there are two underlying C helper functions.
11017
11018 Remember Rule #1 - You are a string.
11019
11020 The @b{first} helper parses and executes commands found in an ascii
11021 string. Commands can be separated by semicolons, or newlines. While
11022 parsing, variables are expanded via the quoting rules.
11023
11024 The @b{second} helper evaluates an ascii string as a numerical
11025 expression and returns a value.
11026
11027 Here is an example of how the @b{FOR} command could be
11028 implemented. The pseudo code below does not show error handling.
11029 @example
11030 void Execute_AsciiString( void *interp, const char *string );
11031
11032 int Evaluate_AsciiExpression( void *interp, const char *string );
11033
11034 int
11035 MyForCommand( void *interp,
11036 int argc,
11037 char **argv )
11038 @{
11039 if( argc != 5 )@{
11040 SetResult( interp, "WRONG number of parameters");
11041 return ERROR;
11042 @}
11043
11044 // argv[0] = the ascii string just like C
11045
11046 // Execute the start statement.
11047 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[1] );
11048
11049 // Top of loop test
11050 for(;;)@{
11051 i = Evaluate_AsciiExpression(interp, argv[2]);
11052 if( i == 0 )
11053 break;
11054
11055 // Execute the body
11056 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[3] );
11057
11058 // Execute the LOOP part
11059 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[4] );
11060 @}
11061
11062 // Return no error
11063 SetResult( interp, "" );
11064 return SUCCESS;
11065 @}
11066 @end example
11067
11068 Every other command IF, WHILE, FORMAT, PUTS, EXPR, everything works
11069 in the same basic way.
11070
11071 @section OpenOCD Tcl Usage
11072
11073 @subsection source and find commands
11074 @b{Where:} In many configuration files
11075 @* Example: @b{ source [find FILENAME] }
11076 @*Remember the parsing rules
11077 @enumerate
11078 @item The @command{find} command is in square brackets,
11079 and is executed with the parameter FILENAME. It should find and return
11080 the full path to a file with that name; it uses an internal search path.
11081 The RESULT is a string, which is substituted into the command line in
11082 place of the bracketed @command{find} command.
11083 (Don't try to use a FILENAME which includes the "#" character.
11084 That character begins Tcl comments.)
11085 @item The @command{source} command is executed with the resulting filename;
11086 it reads a file and executes as a script.
11087 @end enumerate
11088 @subsection format command
11089 @b{Where:} Generally occurs in numerous places.
11090 @* Tcl has no command like @b{printf()}, instead it has @b{format}, which is really more like
11091 @b{sprintf()}.
11092 @b{Example}
11093 @example
11094 set x 6
11095 set y 7
11096 puts [format "The answer: %d" [expr $x * $y]]
11097 @end example
11098 @enumerate
11099 @item The SET command creates 2 variables, X and Y.
11100 @item The double [nested] EXPR command performs math
11101 @* The EXPR command produces numerical result as a string.
11102 @* Refer to Rule #1
11103 @item The format command is executed, producing a single string
11104 @* Refer to Rule #1.
11105 @item The PUTS command outputs the text.
11106 @end enumerate
11107 @subsection Body or Inlined Text
11108 @b{Where:} Various TARGET scripts.
11109 @example
11110 #1 Good
11111 proc someproc @{@} @{
11112 ... multiple lines of stuff ...
11113 @}
11114 $_TARGETNAME configure -event FOO someproc
11115 #2 Good - no variables
11116 $_TARGETNAME configure -event foo "this ; that;"
11117 #3 Good Curly Braces
11118 $_TARGETNAME configure -event FOO @{
11119 puts "Time: [date]"
11120 @}
11121 #4 DANGER DANGER DANGER
11122 $_TARGETNAME configure -event foo "puts \"Time: [date]\""
11123 @end example
11124 @enumerate
11125 @item The $_TARGETNAME is an OpenOCD variable convention.
11126 @*@b{$_TARGETNAME} represents the last target created, the value changes
11127 each time a new target is created. Remember the parsing rules. When
11128 the ascii text is parsed, the @b{$_TARGETNAME} becomes a simple string,
11129 the name of the target which happens to be a TARGET (object)
11130 command.
11131 @item The 2nd parameter to the @option{-event} parameter is a TCBODY
11132 @*There are 4 examples:
11133 @enumerate
11134 @item The TCLBODY is a simple string that happens to be a proc name
11135 @item The TCLBODY is several simple commands separated by semicolons
11136 @item The TCLBODY is a multi-line @{curly-brace@} quoted string
11137 @item The TCLBODY is a string with variables that get expanded.
11138 @end enumerate
11139
11140 In the end, when the target event FOO occurs the TCLBODY is
11141 evaluated. Method @b{#1} and @b{#2} are functionally identical. For
11142 Method @b{#3} and @b{#4} it is more interesting. What is the TCLBODY?
11143
11144 Remember the parsing rules. In case #3, @{curly-braces@} mean the
11145 $VARS and [square-brackets] are expanded later, when the EVENT occurs,
11146 and the text is evaluated. In case #4, they are replaced before the
11147 ``Target Object Command'' is executed. This occurs at the same time
11148 $_TARGETNAME is replaced. In case #4 the date will never
11149 change. @{BTW: [date] is a bad example; at this writing,
11150 Jim/OpenOCD does not have a date command@}
11151 @end enumerate
11152 @subsection Global Variables
11153 @b{Where:} You might discover this when writing your own procs @* In
11154 simple terms: Inside a PROC, if you need to access a global variable
11155 you must say so. See also ``upvar''. Example:
11156 @example
11157 proc myproc @{ @} @{
11158 set y 0 #Local variable Y
11159 global x #Global variable X
11160 puts [format "X=%d, Y=%d" $x $y]
