100 OpenOCD was created by Dominic Rath as part of a 2005 diploma thesis written
101 at the University of Applied Sciences Augsburg (@uref{http://www.hs-augsburg.de}).
102 Since that time, the project has grown into an active open-source project,
103 supported by a diverse community of software and hardware developers from
104 around the world.
105
106 @section What is OpenOCD?
107 @cindex TAP
108 @cindex JTAG
109
110 The Open On-Chip Debugger (OpenOCD) aims to provide debugging,
111 in-system programming and boundary-scan testing for embedded target
112 devices.
113
114 It does so with the assistance of a @dfn{debug adapter}, which is
115 a small hardware module which helps provide the right kind of
116 electrical signaling to the target being debugged. These are
117 required since the debug host (on which OpenOCD runs) won't
118 usually have native support for such signaling, or the connector
119 needed to hook up to the target.
120
121 Such debug adapters support one or more @dfn{transport} protocols,
122 each of which involves different electrical signaling (and uses
123 different messaging protocols on top of that signaling). There
124 are many types of debug adapter, and little uniformity in what
125 they are called. (There are also product naming differences.)
126
127 These adapters are sometimes packaged as discrete dongles, which
128 may generically be called @dfn{hardware interface dongles}.
129 Some development boards also integrate them directly, which may
130 let the development board connect directly to the debug
131 host over USB (and sometimes also to power it over USB).
132
133 For example, a @dfn{JTAG Adapter} supports JTAG
134 signaling, and is used to communicate
135 with JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) compliant TAPs on your target board.
136 A @dfn{TAP} is a ``Test Access Port'', a module which processes
137 special instructions and data. TAPs are daisy-chained within and
138 between chips and boards. JTAG supports debugging and boundary
139 scan operations.
140
141 There are also @dfn{SWD Adapters} that support Serial Wire Debug (SWD)
142 signaling to communicate with some newer ARM cores, as well as debug
143 adapters which support both JTAG and SWD transports. SWD supports only
144 debugging, whereas JTAG also supports boundary scan operations.
145
146 For some chips, there are also @dfn{Programming Adapters} supporting
147 special transports used only to write code to flash memory, without
148 support for on-chip debugging or boundary scan.
149 (At this writing, OpenOCD does not support such non-debug adapters.)
150
151
152 @b{Dongles:} OpenOCD currently supports many types of hardware dongles:
153 USB-based, parallel port-based, and other standalone boxes that run
154 OpenOCD internally. @xref{Debug Adapter Hardware}.
155
156 @b{GDB Debug:} It allows ARM7 (ARM7TDMI and ARM720t), ARM9 (ARM920T,
157 ARM922T, ARM926EJ--S, ARM966E--S), XScale (PXA25x, IXP42x), Cortex-M3
158 (Stellaris LM3, STMicroelectronics STM32 and Energy Micro EFM32) and
159 Intel Quark (x10xx) based cores to be debugged via the GDB protocol.
160
161 @b{Flash Programming:} Flash writing is supported for external
162 CFI-compatible NOR flashes (Intel and AMD/Spansion command set) and several
163 internal flashes (LPC1700, LPC1800, LPC2000, LPC4300, AT91SAM7, AT91SAM3U,
164 STR7x, STR9x, LM3, STM32x and EFM32). Preliminary support for various NAND flash
165 controllers (LPC3180, Orion, S3C24xx, more) is included.

172
173 @section Latest User's Guide:
174
175 The user's guide you are now reading may not be the latest one
176 available. A version for more recent code may be available.
177 Its HTML form is published regularly at:

180
181 PDF form is likewise published at:
182
183 @uref{http://openocd.org/doc/pdf/openocd.pdf}
184
185 @section OpenOCD User's Forum
186
187 There is an OpenOCD forum (phpBB) hosted by SparkFun,
188 which might be helpful to you. Note that if you want
189 anything to come to the attention of developers, you
190 should post it to the OpenOCD Developer Mailing List
191 instead of this forum.
192
193 @uref{http://forum.sparkfun.com/viewforum.php?f=18}
194
195 @section OpenOCD User's Mailing List
196
197 The OpenOCD User Mailing List provides the primary means of
198 communication between users:
199
200 @uref{https://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/openocd-user}
201
202 @section OpenOCD IRC

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

312 @section Choosing a Dongle
313
314 There are several things you should keep in mind when choosing a dongle.
315
316 @enumerate
317 @item @b{Transport} Does it support the kind of communication that you need?
318 OpenOCD focuses mostly on JTAG. Your version may also support
319 other ways to communicate with target devices.
320 @item @b{Voltage} What voltage is your target - 1.8, 2.8, 3.3, or 5V?
321 Does your dongle support it? You might need a level converter.
322 @item @b{Pinout} What pinout does your target board use?
323 Does your dongle support it? You may be able to use jumper
324 wires, or an "octopus" connector, to convert pinouts.
325 @item @b{Connection} Does your computer have the USB, parallel, or
326 Ethernet port needed?
327 @item @b{RTCK} Do you expect to use it with ARM chips and boards with
328 RTCK support (also known as ``adaptive clocking'')?
329 @end enumerate
330
331 @section USB FT2232 Based
332
333 There are many USB JTAG dongles on the market, many of them based
334 on a chip from ``Future Technology Devices International'' (FTDI)
335 known as the FTDI FT2232; this is a USB full speed (12 Mbps) chip.
336 See: @url{http://www.ftdichip.com} for more information.
337 In summer 2009, USB high speed (480 Mbps) versions of these FTDI
338 chips started to become available in JTAG adapters. Around 2012, a new
339 variant appeared - FT232H - this is a single-channel version of FT2232H.
340 (Adapters using those high speed FT2232H or FT232H chips may support adaptive
341 clocking.)
342
343 The FT2232 chips are flexible enough to support some other
344 transport options, such as SWD or the SPI variants used to
345 program some chips. They have two communications channels,
346 and one can be used for a UART adapter at the same time the
347 other one is used to provide a debug adapter.
348
349 Also, some development boards integrate an FT2232 chip to serve as
350 a built-in low-cost debug adapter and USB-to-serial solution.

365 bundle FT2232-based JTAG and SWD support, which can be used to debug
366 the Stellaris chips. Using separate JTAG adapters is optional.
367 These boards can also be used in a "pass through" mode as JTAG adapters
368 to other target boards, disabling the Stellaris chip.

622
623 OpenOCD uses a small ``Tcl Interpreter'' known as Jim-Tcl.
624 This programming language provides a simple and extensible
625 command interpreter.
626
627 All commands presented in this Guide are extensions to Jim-Tcl.
628 You can use them as simple commands, without needing to learn
629 much of anything about Tcl.
630 Alternatively, you can write Tcl programs with them.
631
632 You can learn more about Jim at its website, @url{http://jim.tcl.tk}.
633 There is an active and responsive community, get on the mailing list
634 if you have any questions. Jim-Tcl maintainers also lurk on the
635 OpenOCD mailing list.
636
637 @itemize @bullet
638 @item @b{Jim vs. Tcl}
639 @* Jim-Tcl is a stripped down version of the well known Tcl language,
640 which can be found here: @url{http://www.tcl.tk}. Jim-Tcl has far
641 fewer features. Jim-Tcl is several dozens of .C files and .H files and
642 implements the basic Tcl command set. In contrast: Tcl 8.6 is a
643 4.2 MB .zip file containing 1540 files.
644
645 @item @b{Missing Features}
646 @* Our practice has been: Add/clone the real Tcl feature if/when
647 needed. We welcome Jim-Tcl improvements, not bloat. Also there
648 are a large number of optional Jim-Tcl features that are not
649 enabled in OpenOCD.
650
651 @item @b{Scripts}
652 @* OpenOCD configuration scripts are Jim-Tcl Scripts. OpenOCD's
653 command interpreter today is a mixture of (newer)
654 Jim-Tcl commands, and the (older) original command interpreter.
655
656 @item @b{Commands}
657 @* At the OpenOCD telnet command line (or via the GDB monitor command) one
658 can type a Tcl for() loop, set variables, etc.
659 Some of the commands documented in this guide are implemented
660 as Tcl scripts, from a @file{startup.tcl} file internal to the server.
661
662 @item @b{Historical Note}
663 @* Jim-Tcl was introduced to OpenOCD in spring 2008. Fall 2010,
664 before OpenOCD 0.5 release, OpenOCD switched to using Jim-Tcl
665 as a Git submodule, which greatly simplified upgrading Jim-Tcl
666 to benefit from new features and bugfixes in Jim-Tcl.

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

888
889 @section Project Directory
890
891 There are many ways you can configure OpenOCD and start it up.
892
893 A simple way to organize them all involves keeping a
894 single directory for your work with a given board.
895 When you start OpenOCD from that directory,
896 it searches there first for configuration files, scripts,
897 files accessed through semihosting,
898 and for code you upload to the target board.
899 It is also the natural place to write files,
900 such as log files and data you download from the board.
901
902 @section Configuration Basics
903
904 There are two basic ways of configuring OpenOCD, and
905 a variety of ways you can mix them.
906 Think of the difference as just being how you start the server:
907
908 @itemize
909 @item Many @option{-f file} or @option{-c command} options on the command line
910 @item No options, but a @dfn{user config file}
911 in the current directory named @file{openocd.cfg}
912 @end itemize
913
914 Here is an example @file{openocd.cfg} file for a setup
915 using a Signalyzer FT2232-based JTAG adapter to talk to
916 a board with an Atmel AT91SAM7X256 microcontroller:
917
918 @example
919 source [find interface/ftdi/signalyzer.cfg]
920
921 # GDB can also flash my flash!
922 gdb_memory_map enable
923 gdb_flash_program enable
924
925 source [find target/sam7x256.cfg]
926 @end example
927
928 Here is the command line equivalent of that configuration:
929
930 @example
931 openocd -f interface/ftdi/signalyzer.cfg \
932 -c "gdb_memory_map enable" \
933 -c "gdb_flash_program enable" \
934 -f target/sam7x256.cfg
935 @end example
936
937 You could wrap such long command lines in shell scripts,
938 each supporting a different development task.
939 One might re-flash the board with a specific firmware version.
940 Another might set up a particular debugging or run-time environment.
941
942 @quotation Important
943 At this writing (October 2009) the command line method has
944 problems with how it treats variables.
945 For example, after @option{-c "set VAR value"}, or doing the
946 same in a script, the variable @var{VAR} will have no value
947 that can be tested in a later script.
948 @end quotation
949
950 Here we will focus on the simpler solution: one user config
951 file, including basic configuration plus any TCL procedures
952 to simplify your work.
953
954 @section User Config Files
955 @cindex config file, user
956 @cindex user config file
957 @cindex config file, overview
958
959 A user configuration file ties together all the parts of a project
960 in one place.
961 One of the following will match your situation best:
962
963 @itemize
964 @item Ideally almost everything comes from configuration files
965 provided by someone else.
966 For example, OpenOCD distributes a @file{scripts} directory
967 (probably in @file{/usr/share/openocd/scripts} on Linux).
968 Board and tool vendors can provide these too, as can individual
969 user sites; the @option{-s} command line option lets you say
970 where to find these files. (@xref{Running}.)
971 The AT91SAM7X256 example above works this way.
972
973 Three main types of non-user configuration file each have their
974 own subdirectory in the @file{scripts} directory:
975
976 @enumerate
977 @item @b{interface} -- one for each different debug adapter;
978 @item @b{board} -- one for each different board
979 @item @b{target} -- the chips which integrate CPUs and other JTAG TAPs
980 @end enumerate
981
982 Best case: include just two files, and they handle everything else.
983 The first is an interface config file.
984 The second is board-specific, and it sets up the JTAG TAPs and
985 their GDB targets (by deferring to some @file{target.cfg} file),
986 declares all flash memory, and leaves you nothing to do except
987 meet your deadline:
988
989 @example
990 source [find interface/olimex-jtag-tiny.cfg]
991 source [find board/csb337.cfg]
992 @end example
993
994 Boards with a single microcontroller often won't need more
995 than the target config file, as in the AT91SAM7X256 example.
996 That's because there is no external memory (flash, DDR RAM), and
997 the board differences are encapsulated by application code.
998
999 @item Maybe you don't know yet what your board looks like to JTAG.
1000 Once you know the @file{interface.cfg} file to use, you may
1001 need help from OpenOCD to discover what's on the board.
1002 Once you find the JTAG TAPs, you can just search for appropriate
1003 target and board
1004 configuration files ... or write your own, from the bottom up.
1005 @xref{autoprobing,,Autoprobing}.
1006
1007 @item You can often reuse some standard config files but
1008 need to write a few new ones, probably a @file{board.cfg} file.
1009 You will be using commands described later in this User's Guide,
1010 and working with the guidelines in the next chapter.
1011
1012 For example, there may be configuration files for your JTAG adapter
1013 and target chip, but you need a new board-specific config file
1014 giving access to your particular flash chips.
1015 Or you might need to write another target chip configuration file
1016 for a new chip built around the Cortex-M3 core.
1017
1018 @quotation Note
1019 When you write new configuration files, please submit
1020 them for inclusion in the next OpenOCD release.
1021 For example, a @file{board/newboard.cfg} file will help the
1022 next users of that board, and a @file{target/newcpu.cfg}
1023 will help support users of any board using that chip.

1027 You may need to write some C code.
1028 It may be as simple as supporting a new FT2232 or parport
1029 based adapter; a bit more involved, like a NAND or NOR flash
1030 controller driver; or a big piece of work like supporting
1031 a new chip architecture.
1032 @end itemize
1033
1034 Reuse the existing config files when you can.
1035 Look first in the @file{scripts/boards} area, then @file{scripts/targets}.
1036 You may find a board configuration that's a good example to follow.
1037
1038 When you write config files, separate the reusable parts
1039 (things every user of that interface, chip, or board needs)
1040 from ones specific to your environment and debugging approach.
1041 @itemize
1042
1043 @item
1044 For example, a @code{gdb-attach} event handler that invokes
1045 the @command{reset init} command will interfere with debugging
1046 early boot code, which performs some of the same actions
1047 that the @code{reset-init} event handler does.
1048
1049 @item
1050 Likewise, the @command{arm9 vector_catch} command (or
1051 @cindex vector_catch
1052 its siblings @command{xscale vector_catch}
1053 and @command{cortex_m vector_catch}) can be a time-saver
1054 during some debug sessions, but don't make everyone use that either.
1055 Keep those kinds of debugging aids in your user config file,
1056 along with messaging and tracing setup.
1057 (@xref{softwaredebugmessagesandtracing,,Software Debug Messages and Tracing}.)
1058
1059 @item
1060 You might need to override some defaults.
1061 For example, you might need to move, shrink, or back up the target's
1062 work area if your application needs much SRAM.
1063
1064 @item
1065 TCP/IP port configuration is another example of something which
1066 is environment-specific, and should only appear in

1069
1070 @section Project-Specific Utilities
1071
1072 A few project-specific utility
1073 routines may well speed up your work.
1074 Write them, and keep them in your project's user config file.
1075
1076 For example, if you are making a boot loader work on a
1077 board, it's nice to be able to debug the ``after it's
1078 loaded to RAM'' parts separately from the finicky early
1079 code which sets up the DDR RAM controller and clocks.
1080 A script like this one, or a more GDB-aware sibling,
1081 may help:
1082
1083 @example
1084 proc ramboot @{ @} @{
1085 # Reset, running the target's "reset-init" scripts
1086 # to initialize clocks and the DDR RAM controller.
1087 # Leave the CPU halted.
1088 reset init
1089
1090 # Load CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT version into DDR RAM.
1091 load_image u-boot.bin 0x20000000
1092
1093 # Start running.
1094 resume 0x20000000
1095 @}
1096 @end example
1097
1098 Then once that code is working you will need to make it
1099 boot from NOR flash; a different utility would help.
1100 Alternatively, some developers write to flash using GDB.
1101 (You might use a similar script if you're working with a flash
1102 based microcontroller application instead of a boot loader.)
1103
1104 @example
1105 proc newboot @{ @} @{
1106 # Reset, leaving the CPU halted. The "reset-init" event
1107 # proc gives faster access to the CPU and to NOR flash;
1108 # "reset halt" would be slower.
1109 reset init
1110
1111 # Write standard version of U-Boot into the first two
1112 # sectors of NOR flash ... the standard version should
1113 # do the same lowlevel init as "reset-init".
1114 flash protect 0 0 1 off
1115 flash erase_sector 0 0 1
1116 flash write_bank 0 u-boot.bin 0x0
1117 flash protect 0 0 1 on
1118
1119 # Reboot from scratch using that new boot loader.
1120 reset run
1121 @}
1122 @end example
1123
1124 You may need more complicated utility procedures when booting
1125 from NAND.
1126 That often involves an extra bootloader stage,
1127 running from on-chip SRAM to perform DDR RAM setup so it can load
1128 the main bootloader code (which won't fit into that SRAM).
1129
1130 Other helper scripts might be used to write production system images,
1131 involving considerably more than just a three stage bootloader.
1132
1133 @section Target Software Changes
1134
1135 Sometimes you may want to make some small changes to the software
1136 you're developing, to help make JTAG debugging work better.
1137 For example, in C or assembly language code you might
1138 use @code{#ifdef JTAG_DEBUG} (or its converse) around code
1139 handling issues like:
1140
1141 @itemize @bullet
1142
1143 @item @b{Watchdog Timers}...
1144 Watchdog timers are typically used to automatically reset systems if
1145 some application task doesn't periodically reset the timer. (The
1146 assumption is that the system has locked up if the task can't run.)
1147 When a JTAG debugger halts the system, that task won't be able to run
1148 and reset the timer ... potentially causing resets in the middle of
1149 your debug sessions.
1150
1151 It's rarely a good idea to disable such watchdogs, since their usage
1152 needs to be debugged just like all other parts of your firmware.
1153 That might however be your only option.
1154
1155 Look instead for chip-specific ways to stop the watchdog from counting
1156 while the system is in a debug halt state. It may be simplest to set
1157 that non-counting mode in your debugger startup scripts. You may however
1158 need a different approach when, for example, a motor could be physically
1159 damaged by firmware remaining inactive in a debug halt state. That might
1160 involve a type of firmware mode where that "non-counting" mode is disabled
1161 at the beginning then re-enabled at the end; a watchdog reset might fire
1162 and complicate the debug session, but hardware (or people) would be
1163 protected.@footnote{Note that many systems support a "monitor mode" debug
1164 that is a somewhat cleaner way to address such issues. You can think of
1165 it as only halting part of the system, maybe just one task,
1166 instead of the whole thing.
1167 At this writing, January 2010, OpenOCD based debugging does not support
1168 monitor mode debug, only "halt mode" debug.}
1169
1170 @item @b{ARM Semihosting}...
1171 @cindex ARM semihosting
1172 When linked with a special runtime library provided with many
1173 toolchains@footnote{See chapter 8 "Semihosting" in
1174 @uref{http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.dui0203i/DUI0203I_rvct_developer_guide.pdf,
1175 ARM DUI 0203I}, the "RealView Compilation Tools Developer Guide".
1176 The CodeSourcery EABI toolchain also includes a semihosting library.},
1177 your target code can use I/O facilities on the debug host. That library
1178 provides a small set of system calls which are handled by OpenOCD.
1179 It can let the debugger provide your system console and a file system,
1180 helping with early debugging or providing a more capable environment
1181 for sometimes-complex tasks like installing system firmware onto
1182 NAND or SPI flash.
1183
1184 @item @b{ARM Wait-For-Interrupt}...
1185 Many ARM chips synchronize the JTAG clock using the core clock.
1186 Low power states which stop that core clock thus prevent JTAG access.
1187 Idle loops in tasking environments often enter those low power states
1188 via the @code{WFI} instruction (or its coprocessor equivalent, before ARMv7).
1189
1190 You may want to @emph{disable that instruction} in source code,
1191 or otherwise prevent using that state,
1192 to ensure you can get JTAG access at any time.@footnote{As a more
1193 polite alternative, some processors have special debug-oriented
1194 registers which can be used to change various features including
1195 how the low power states are clocked while debugging.
1196 The STM32 DBGMCU_CR register is an example; at the cost of extra
1197 power consumption, JTAG can be used during low power states.}
1198 For example, the OpenOCD @command{halt} command may not
1199 work for an idle processor otherwise.
1200
1201 @item @b{Delay after reset}...
1202 Not all chips have good support for debugger access
1203 right after reset; many LPC2xxx chips have issues here.
1204 Similarly, applications that reconfigure pins used for
1205 JTAG access as they start will also block debugger access.
1206
1207 To work with boards like this, @emph{enable a short delay loop}
1208 the first thing after reset, before "real" startup activities.
1209 For example, one second's delay is usually more than enough
1210 time for a JTAG debugger to attach, so that
1211 early code execution can be debugged
1212 or firmware can be replaced.
1213
1214 @item @b{Debug Communications Channel (DCC)}...
1215 Some processors include mechanisms to send messages over JTAG.
1216 Many ARM cores support these, as do some cores from other vendors.
1217 (OpenOCD may be able to use this DCC internally, speeding up some
1218 operations like writing to memory.)
1219
1220 Your application may want to deliver various debugging messages
1221 over JTAG, by @emph{linking with a small library of code}
1222 provided with OpenOCD and using the utilities there to send
1223 various kinds of message.
1224 @xref{softwaredebugmessagesandtracing,,Software Debug Messages and Tracing}.
1225
1226 @end itemize
1227
1228 @section Target Hardware Setup
1229
1230 Chip vendors often provide software development boards which
1231 are highly configurable, so that they can support all options
1232 that product boards may require. @emph{Make sure that any
1233 jumpers or switches match the system configuration you are
1234 working with.}
1235
1236 Common issues include:
1237
1238 @itemize @bullet
1239
1240 @item @b{JTAG setup} ...
1241 Boards may support more than one JTAG configuration.
1242 Examples include jumpers controlling pullups versus pulldowns
1243 on the nTRST and/or nSRST signals, and choice of connectors
1244 (e.g. which of two headers on the base board,
1245 or one from a daughtercard).
1246 For some Texas Instruments boards, you may need to jumper the
1247 EMU0 and EMU1 signals (which OpenOCD won't currently control).
1248
1249 @item @b{Boot Modes} ...
1250 Complex chips often support multiple boot modes, controlled
1251 by external jumpers. Make sure this is set up correctly.
1252 For example many i.MX boards from NXP need to be jumpered
1253 to "ATX mode" to start booting using the on-chip ROM, when
1254 using second stage bootloader code stored in a NAND flash chip.
1255
1256 Such explicit configuration is common, and not limited to
1257 booting from NAND. You might also need to set jumpers to
1258 start booting using code loaded from an MMC/SD card; external
1259 SPI flash; Ethernet, UART, or USB links; NOR flash; OneNAND
1260 flash; some external host; or various other sources.
1261
1262
1263 @item @b{Memory Addressing} ...
1264 Boards which support multiple boot modes may also have jumpers
1265 to configure memory addressing. One board, for example, jumpers
1266 external chipselect 0 (used for booting) to address either
1267 a large SRAM (which must be pre-loaded via JTAG), NOR flash,
1268 or NAND flash. When it's jumpered to address NAND flash, that
1269 board must also be told to start booting from on-chip ROM.
1270
1271 Your @file{board.cfg} file may also need to be told this jumper
1272 configuration, so that it can know whether to declare NOR flash
1273 using @command{flash bank} or instead declare NAND flash with
1274 @command{nand device}; and likewise which probe to perform in
1275 its @code{reset-init} handler.
1276
1277 A closely related issue is bus width. Jumpers might need to
1278 distinguish between 8 bit or 16 bit bus access for the flash
1279 used to start booting.
1280
1281 @item @b{Peripheral Access} ...
1282 Development boards generally provide access to every peripheral
1283 on the chip, sometimes in multiple modes (such as by providing
1284 multiple audio codec chips).
1285 This interacts with software
1286 configuration of pin multiplexing, where for example a
1287 given pin may be routed either to the MMC/SD controller
1288 or the GPIO controller. It also often interacts with
1289 configuration jumpers. One jumper may be used to route
1290 signals to an MMC/SD card slot or an expansion bus (which
1291 might in turn affect booting); others might control which
1292 audio or video codecs are used.
1293
1294 @end itemize
1295
1296 Plus you should of course have @code{reset-init} event handlers
1297 which set up the hardware to match that jumper configuration.
1298 That includes in particular any oscillator or PLL used to clock
1299 the CPU, and any memory controllers needed to access external
1300 memory and peripherals. Without such handlers, you won't be
1301 able to access those resources without working target firmware
1302 which can do that setup ... this can be awkward when you're
1303 trying to debug that target firmware. Even if there's a ROM
1304 bootloader which handles a few issues, it rarely provides full
1305 access to all board-specific capabilities.
1306
1307
1308 @node Config File Guidelines
1309 @chapter Config File Guidelines
1310
1311 This chapter is aimed at any user who needs to write a config file,
1312 including developers and integrators of OpenOCD and any user who
1313 needs to get a new board working smoothly.
1314 It provides guidelines for creating those files.
1315
1316 You should find the following directories under
1317 @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/scripts}, with config files maintained upstream. Use
1318 them as-is where you can; or as models for new files.
1319 @itemize @bullet
1320 @item @file{interface} ...
1321 These are for debug adapters. Files that specify configuration to use
1322 specific JTAG, SWD and other adapters go here.
1323 @item @file{board} ...
1324 Think Circuit Board, PWA, PCB, they go by many names. Board files
1325 contain initialization items that are specific to a board.
1326
1327 They reuse target configuration files, since the same
1328 microprocessor chips are used on many boards,
1329 but support for external parts varies widely. For
1330 example, the SDRAM initialization sequence for the board, or the type
1331 of external flash and what address it uses. Any initialization
1332 sequence to enable that external flash or SDRAM should be found in the
1333 board file. Boards may also contain multiple targets: two CPUs; or
1334 a CPU and an FPGA.
1335 @item @file{target} ...
1336 Think chip. The ``target'' directory represents the JTAG TAPs
1337 on a chip
1338 which OpenOCD should control, not a board. Two common types of targets
1339 are ARM chips and FPGA or CPLD chips.
1340 When a chip has multiple TAPs (maybe it has both ARM and DSP cores),
1341 the target config file defines all of them.
1342 @item @emph{more} ... browse for other library files which may be useful.
1343 For example, there are various generic and CPU-specific utilities.
1344 @end itemize
1345
1346 The @file{openocd.cfg} user config
1347 file may override features in any of the above files by
1348 setting variables before sourcing the target file, or by adding
1349 commands specific to their situation.
1350
1351 @section Interface Config Files
1352
1353 The user config file
1354 should be able to source one of these files with a command like this:
1355
1356 @example
1357 source [find interface/FOOBAR.cfg]
1358 @end example
1359
1360 A preconfigured interface file should exist for every debug adapter
1361 in use today with OpenOCD.
1362 That said, perhaps some of these config files
1363 have only been used by the developer who created it.
1364
1365 A separate chapter gives information about how to set these up.
1366 @xref{Debug Adapter Configuration}.
1367 Read the OpenOCD source code (and Developer's Guide)
1368 if you have a new kind of hardware interface
1369 and need to provide a driver for it.
1370
1371 @deffn {Command} {find} 'filename'
1372 Prints full path to @var{filename} according to OpenOCD search rules.
1373 @end deffn
1374
1375 @deffn {Command} {ocd_find} 'filename'
1376 Prints full path to @var{filename} according to OpenOCD search rules. This
1377 is a low level function used by the @command{find}. Usually you want
1378 to use @command{find}, instead.
1379 @end deffn
1380
1381 @section Board Config Files
1382 @cindex config file, board
1383 @cindex board config file
1384
1385 The user config file
1386 should be able to source one of these files with a command like this:
1387
1388 @example
1389 source [find board/FOOBAR.cfg]
1390 @end example
1391
1392 The point of a board config file is to package everything
1393 about a given board that user config files need to know.
1394 In summary the board files should contain (if present)
1395
1396 @enumerate
1397 @item One or more @command{source [find target/...cfg]} statements
1398 @item NOR flash configuration (@pxref{norconfiguration,,NOR Configuration})
1399 @item NAND flash configuration (@pxref{nandconfiguration,,NAND Configuration})
1400 @item Target @code{reset} handlers for SDRAM and I/O configuration
1401 @item JTAG adapter reset configuration (@pxref{Reset Configuration})
1402 @item All things that are not ``inside a chip''
1403 @end enumerate
1404
1405 Generic things inside target chips belong in target config files,
1406 not board config files. So for example a @code{reset-init} event
1407 handler should know board-specific oscillator and PLL parameters,
1408 which it passes to target-specific utility code.
1409
1410 The most complex task of a board config file is creating such a
1411 @code{reset-init} event handler.
1412 Define those handlers last, after you verify the rest of the board
1413 configuration works.
1414
1415 @subsection Communication Between Config files
1416
1417 In addition to target-specific utility code, another way that
1418 board and target config files communicate is by following a
1419 convention on how to use certain variables.
1420
1421 The full Tcl/Tk language supports ``namespaces'', but Jim-Tcl does not.
1422 Thus the rule we follow in OpenOCD is this: Variables that begin with
1423 a leading underscore are temporary in nature, and can be modified and
1424 used at will within a target configuration file.
1425
1426 Complex board config files can do the things like this,
1427 for a board with three chips:
1428
1429 @example
1430 # Chip #1: PXA270 for network side, big endian
1431 set CHIPNAME network
1432 set ENDIAN big
1433 source [find target/pxa270.cfg]
1434 # on return: _TARGETNAME = network.cpu
1435 # other commands can refer to the "network.cpu" target.
1436 $_TARGETNAME configure .... events for this CPU..
1437
1438 # Chip #2: PXA270 for video side, little endian
1439 set CHIPNAME video
1440 set ENDIAN little
1441 source [find target/pxa270.cfg]
1442 # on return: _TARGETNAME = video.cpu
1443 # other commands can refer to the "video.cpu" target.
1444 $_TARGETNAME configure .... events for this CPU..
1445
1446 # Chip #3: Xilinx FPGA for glue logic
1447 set CHIPNAME xilinx
1448 unset ENDIAN
1449 source [find target/spartan3.cfg]
1450 @end example
1451
1452 That example is oversimplified because it doesn't show any flash memory,
1453 or the @code{reset-init} event handlers to initialize external DRAM
1454 or (assuming it needs it) load a configuration into the FPGA.
1455 Such features are usually needed for low-level work with many boards,
1456 where ``low level'' implies that the board initialization software may
1457 not be working. (That's a common reason to need JTAG tools. Another
1458 is to enable working with microcontroller-based systems, which often
1459 have no debugging support except a JTAG connector.)
1460
1461 Target config files may also export utility functions to board and user
1462 config files. Such functions should use name prefixes, to help avoid
1463 naming collisions.
1464
1465 Board files could also accept input variables from user config files.
1466 For example, there might be a @code{J4_JUMPER} setting used to identify
1467 what kind of flash memory a development board is using, or how to set
1468 up other clocks and peripherals.
1469
1470 @subsection Variable Naming Convention
1471 @cindex variable names
1472
1473 Most boards have only one instance of a chip.
1474 However, it should be easy to create a board with more than
1475 one such chip (as shown above).
1476 Accordingly, we encourage these conventions for naming
1477 variables associated with different @file{target.cfg} files,
1478 to promote consistency and
1479 so that board files can override target defaults.
1480
1481 Inputs to target config files include:
1482
1483 @itemize @bullet
1484 @item @code{CHIPNAME} ...
1485 This gives a name to the overall chip, and is used as part of
1486 tap identifier dotted names.
1487 While the default is normally provided by the chip manufacturer,
1488 board files may need to distinguish between instances of a chip.
1489 @item @code{ENDIAN} ...
1490 By default @option{little} - although chips may hard-wire @option{big}.
1491 Chips that can't change endianness don't need to use this variable.
1492 @item @code{CPUTAPID} ...
1493 When OpenOCD examines the JTAG chain, it can be told verify the
1494 chips against the JTAG IDCODE register.
1495 The target file will hold one or more defaults, but sometimes the
1496 chip in a board will use a different ID (perhaps a newer revision).
1497 @end itemize
1498
1499 Outputs from target config files include:
1500
1501 @itemize @bullet
1502 @item @code{_TARGETNAME} ...
1503 By convention, this variable is created by the target configuration
1504 script. The board configuration file may make use of this variable to
1505 configure things like a ``reset init'' script, or other things
1506 specific to that board and that target.
1507 If the chip has 2 targets, the names are @code{_TARGETNAME0},
1508 @code{_TARGETNAME1}, ... etc.
1509 @end itemize
1510
1511 @subsection The reset-init Event Handler
1512 @cindex event, reset-init
1513 @cindex reset-init handler
1514
1515 Board config files run in the OpenOCD configuration stage;
1516 they can't use TAPs or targets, since they haven't been
1517 fully set up yet.
1518 This means you can't write memory or access chip registers;
1519 you can't even verify that a flash chip is present.
1520 That's done later in event handlers, of which the target @code{reset-init}
1521 handler is one of the most important.
1522
1523 Except on microcontrollers, the basic job of @code{reset-init} event
1524 handlers is setting up flash and DRAM, as normally handled by boot loaders.
1525 Microcontrollers rarely use boot loaders; they run right out of their
1526 on-chip flash and SRAM memory. But they may want to use one of these
1527 handlers too, if just for developer convenience.
1528
1529 @quotation Note
1530 Because this is so very board-specific, and chip-specific, no examples
1531 are included here.
1532 Instead, look at the board config files distributed with OpenOCD.

1537
1538 Some of this code could probably be shared between different boards.
1539 For example, setting up a DRAM controller often doesn't differ by
1540 much except the bus width (16 bits or 32?) and memory timings, so a
1541 reusable TCL procedure loaded by the @file{target.cfg} file might take
1542 those as parameters.
1543 Similarly with oscillator, PLL, and clock setup;
1544 and disabling the watchdog.
1545 Structure the code cleanly, and provide comments to help
1546 the next developer doing such work.
1547 (@emph{You might be that next person} trying to reuse init code!)
1548
1549 The last thing normally done in a @code{reset-init} handler is probing
1550 whatever flash memory was configured. For most chips that needs to be
1551 done while the associated target is halted, either because JTAG memory
1552 access uses the CPU or to prevent conflicting CPU access.
1553
1554 @subsection JTAG Clock Rate
1555
1556 Before your @code{reset-init} handler has set up
1557 the PLLs and clocking, you may need to run with
1558 a low JTAG clock rate.
1559 @xref{jtagspeed,,JTAG Speed}.
1560 Then you'd increase that rate after your handler has
1561 made it possible to use the faster JTAG clock.
1562 When the initial low speed is board-specific, for example
1563 because it depends on a board-specific oscillator speed, then
1564 you should probably set it up in the board config file;
1565 if it's target-specific, it belongs in the target config file.
1566
1567 For most ARM-based processors the fastest JTAG clock@footnote{A FAQ
1568 @uref{http://www.arm.com/support/faqdev/4170.html} gives details.}
1569 is one sixth of the CPU clock; or one eighth for ARM11 cores.
1570 Consult chip documentation to determine the peak JTAG clock rate,
1571 which might be less than that.
1572
1573 @quotation Warning
1574 On most ARMs, JTAG clock detection is coupled to the core clock, so
1575 software using a @option{wait for interrupt} operation blocks JTAG access.
1576 Adaptive clocking provides a partial workaround, but a more complete
1577 solution just avoids using that instruction with JTAG debuggers.
1578 @end quotation
1579
1580 If both the chip and the board support adaptive clocking,
1581 use the @command{jtag_rclk}
1582 command, in case your board is used with JTAG adapter which
1583 also supports it. Otherwise use @command{adapter speed}.
1584 Set the slow rate at the beginning of the reset sequence,
1585 and the faster rate as soon as the clocks are at full speed.

1587 @anchor{theinitboardprocedure}
1588 @subsection The init_board procedure
1589 @cindex init_board procedure
1590
1591 The concept of @code{init_board} procedure is very similar to @code{init_targets}
1592 (@xref{theinittargetsprocedure,,The init_targets procedure}.) - it's a replacement of ``linear''
1593 configuration scripts. This procedure is meant to be executed when OpenOCD enters run stage
1594 (@xref{enteringtherunstage,,Entering the Run Stage},) after @code{init_targets}. The idea to have
1595 separate @code{init_targets} and @code{init_board} procedures is to allow the first one to configure
1596 everything target specific (internal flash, internal RAM, etc.) and the second one to configure
1597 everything board specific (reset signals, chip frequency, reset-init event handler, external memory, etc.).
1598 Additionally ``linear'' board config file will most likely fail when target config file uses
1599 @code{init_targets} scheme (``linear'' script is executed before @code{init} and @code{init_targets} - after),
1600 so separating these two configuration stages is very convenient, as the easiest way to overcome this
1601 problem is to convert board config file to use @code{init_board} procedure. Board config scripts don't
1602 need to override @code{init_targets} defined in target config files when they only need to add some specifics.
1603
1604 Just as @code{init_targets}, the @code{init_board} procedure can be overridden by ``next level'' script (which sources
1605 the original), allowing greater code reuse.
1606
1607 @example
1608 ### board_file.cfg ###
1609
1610 # source target file that does most of the config in init_targets
1611 source [find target/target.cfg]
1612
1613 proc enable_fast_clock @{@} @{
1614 # enables fast on-board clock source
1615 # configures the chip to use it
1616 @}
1617
1618 # initialize only board specifics - reset, clock, adapter frequency
1619 proc init_board @{@} @{
1620 reset_config trst_and_srst trst_pulls_srst
1621
1622 $_TARGETNAME configure -event reset-start @{

1631 @end example
1632
1633 @section Target Config Files
1634 @cindex config file, target
1635 @cindex target config file
1636
1637 Board config files communicate with target config files using
1638 naming conventions as described above, and may source one or
1639 more target config files like this:
1640
1641 @example
1642 source [find target/FOOBAR.cfg]
1643 @end example
1644
1645 The point of a target config file is to package everything
1646 about a given chip that board config files need to know.
1647 In summary the target files should contain
1648
1649 @enumerate
1650 @item Set defaults
1651 @item Add TAPs to the scan chain
1652 @item Add CPU targets (includes GDB support)
1653 @item CPU/Chip/CPU-Core specific features
1654 @item On-Chip flash
1655 @end enumerate
1656
1657 As a rule of thumb, a target file sets up only one chip.
1658 For a microcontroller, that will often include a single TAP,
1659 which is a CPU needing a GDB target, and its on-chip flash.
1660
1661 More complex chips may include multiple TAPs, and the target
1662 config file may need to define them all before OpenOCD
1663 can talk to the chip.
1664 For example, some phone chips have JTAG scan chains that include
1665 an ARM core for operating system use, a DSP,
1666 another ARM core embedded in an image processing engine,
1667 and other processing engines.
1668
1669 @subsection Default Value Boiler Plate Code
1670
1671 All target configuration files should start with code like this,
1672 letting board config files express environment-specific
1673 differences in how things should be set up.
1674
1675 @example
1676 # Boards may override chip names, perhaps based on role,
1677 # but the default should match what the vendor uses
1678 if @{ [info exists CHIPNAME] @} @{
1679 set _CHIPNAME $CHIPNAME
1680 @} else @{
1681 set _CHIPNAME sam7x256
1682 @}
1683
1684 # ONLY use ENDIAN with targets that can change it.
1685 if @{ [info exists ENDIAN] @} @{
1686 set _ENDIAN $ENDIAN
1687 @} else @{
1688 set _ENDIAN little
1689 @}
1690
1691 # TAP identifiers may change as chips mature, for example with
1692 # new revision fields (the "3" here). Pick a good default; you
1693 # can pass several such identifiers to the "jtag newtap" command.
1694 if @{ [info exists CPUTAPID ] @} @{
1695 set _CPUTAPID $CPUTAPID
1696 @} else @{
1697 set _CPUTAPID 0x3f0f0f0f
1698 @}
1699 @end example
1700 @c but 0x3f0f0f0f is for an str73x part ...
1701
1702 @emph{Remember:} Board config files may include multiple target
1703 config files, or the same target file multiple times
1704 (changing at least @code{CHIPNAME}).
1705
1706 Likewise, the target configuration file should define
1707 @code{_TARGETNAME} (or @code{_TARGETNAME0} etc) and
1708 use it later on when defining debug targets:
1709
1710 @example
1711 set _TARGETNAME $_CHIPNAME.cpu
1712 target create $_TARGETNAME arm7tdmi -chain-position $_TARGETNAME
1713 @end example
1714
1715 @subsection Adding TAPs to the Scan Chain
1716 After the ``defaults'' are set up,
1717 add the TAPs on each chip to the JTAG scan chain.
1718 @xref{TAP Declaration}, and the naming convention
1719 for taps.
1720
1721 In the simplest case the chip has only one TAP,
1722 probably for a CPU or FPGA.
1723 The config file for the Atmel AT91SAM7X256
1724 looks (in part) like this:
1725
1726 @example
1727 jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME cpu -irlen 4 -expected-id $_CPUTAPID
1728 @end example
1729
1730 A board with two such at91sam7 chips would be able
1731 to source such a config file twice, with different
1732 values for @code{CHIPNAME}, so
1733 it adds a different TAP each time.
1734
1735 If there are nonzero @option{-expected-id} values,
1736 OpenOCD attempts to verify the actual tap id against those values.
1737 It will issue error messages if there is mismatch, which
1738 can help to pinpoint problems in OpenOCD configurations.
1739
1740 @example
1741 JTAG tap: sam7x256.cpu tap/device found: 0x3f0f0f0f
1742 (Manufacturer: 0x787, Part: 0xf0f0, Version: 0x3)
1743 ERROR: Tap: sam7x256.cpu - Expected id: 0x12345678, Got: 0x3f0f0f0f
1744 ERROR: expected: mfg: 0x33c, part: 0x2345, ver: 0x1
1745 ERROR: got: mfg: 0x787, part: 0xf0f0, ver: 0x3
1746 @end example
1747
1748 There are more complex examples too, with chips that have
1749 multiple TAPs. Ones worth looking at include:
1750
1751 @itemize
1752 @item @file{target/omap3530.cfg} -- with disabled ARM and DSP,
1753 plus a JRC to enable them
1754 @item @file{target/str912.cfg} -- with flash, CPU, and boundary scan
1755 @item @file{target/ti_dm355.cfg} -- with ETM, ARM, and JRC (this JRC
1756 is not currently used)
1757 @end itemize
1758
1759 @subsection Add CPU targets
1760
1761 After adding a TAP for a CPU, you should set it up so that
1762 GDB and other commands can use it.
1763 @xref{CPU Configuration}.
1764 For the at91sam7 example above, the command can look like this;
1765 note that @code{$_ENDIAN} is not needed, since OpenOCD defaults
1766 to little endian, and this chip doesn't support changing that.
1767
1768 @example
1769 set _TARGETNAME $_CHIPNAME.cpu
1770 target create $_TARGETNAME arm7tdmi -chain-position $_TARGETNAME
1771 @end example
1772
1773 Work areas are small RAM areas associated with CPU targets.
1774 They are used by OpenOCD to speed up downloads,
1775 and to download small snippets of code to program flash chips.
1776 If the chip includes a form of ``on-chip-ram'' - and many do - define
1777 a work area if you can.
1778 Again using the at91sam7 as an example, this can look like:
1779
1780 @example
1781 $_TARGETNAME configure -work-area-phys 0x00200000 \
1782 -work-area-size 0x4000 -work-area-backup 0
1783 @end example
1784
1785 @anchor{definecputargetsworkinginsmp}
1786 @subsection Define CPU targets working in SMP
1787 @cindex SMP
1788 After setting targets, you can define a list of targets working in SMP.
1789
1790 @example
1791 set _TARGETNAME_1 $_CHIPNAME.cpu1
1792 set _TARGETNAME_2 $_CHIPNAME.cpu2
1793 target create $_TARGETNAME_1 cortex_a -chain-position $_CHIPNAME.dap \
1794 -coreid 0 -dbgbase $_DAP_DBG1
1795 target create $_TARGETNAME_2 cortex_a -chain-position $_CHIPNAME.dap \
1796 -coreid 1 -dbgbase $_DAP_DBG2
1797 #define 2 targets working in smp.
1798 target smp $_CHIPNAME.cpu2 $_CHIPNAME.cpu1
1799 @end example
1800 In the above example on cortex_a, 2 cpus are working in SMP.
1801 In SMP only one GDB instance is created and :
1802 @itemize @bullet
1803 @item a set of hardware breakpoint sets the same breakpoint on all targets in the list.
1804 @item halt command triggers the halt of all targets in the list.
1805 @item resume command triggers the write context and the restart of all targets in the list.
1806 @item following a breakpoint: the target stopped by the breakpoint is displayed to the GDB session.
1807 @item dedicated GDB serial protocol packets are implemented for switching/retrieving the target
1808 displayed by the GDB session @pxref{usingopenocdsmpwithgdb,,Using OpenOCD SMP with GDB}.
1809 @end itemize
1810
1811 The SMP behaviour can be disabled/enabled dynamically. On cortex_a following
1812 command have been implemented.
1813 @itemize @bullet
1814 @item cortex_a smp on : enable SMP mode, behaviour is as described above.
1815 @item cortex_a smp off : disable SMP mode, the current target is the one
1816 displayed in the GDB session, only this target is now controlled by GDB
1817 session. This behaviour is useful during system boot up.
1818 @item cortex_a smp : display current SMP mode.
1819 @item cortex_a smp_gdb : display/fix the core id displayed in GDB session see
1820 following example.
1821 @end itemize
1822
1823 @example
1824 >cortex_a smp_gdb
1825 gdb coreid 0 -> -1
1826 #0 : coreid 0 is displayed to GDB ,
1827 #-> -1 : next resume triggers a real resume
1828 > cortex_a smp_gdb 1
1829 gdb coreid 0 -> 1
1830 #0 :coreid 0 is displayed to GDB ,
1831 #->1 : next resume displays coreid 1 to GDB
1832 > resume
1833 > cortex_a smp_gdb
1834 gdb coreid 1 -> 1
1835 #1 :coreid 1 is displayed to GDB ,
1836 #->1 : next resume displays coreid 1 to GDB
1837 > cortex_a smp_gdb -1
1838 gdb coreid 1 -> -1
1839 #1 :coreid 1 is displayed to GDB,
1840 #->-1 : next resume triggers a real resume
1841 @end example
1842
1843
1844 @subsection Chip Reset Setup
1845
1846 As a rule, you should put the @command{reset_config} command
1847 into the board file. Most things you think you know about a
1848 chip can be tweaked by the board.
1849
1850 Some chips have specific ways the TRST and SRST signals are
1851 managed. In the unusual case that these are @emph{chip specific}
1852 and can never be changed by board wiring, they could go here.
1853 For example, some chips can't support JTAG debugging without
1854 both signals.
1855
1856 Provide a @code{reset-assert} event handler if you can.
1857 Such a handler uses JTAG operations to reset the target,
1858 letting this target config be used in systems which don't
1859 provide the optional SRST signal, or on systems where you
1860 don't want to reset all targets at once.
1861 Such a handler might write to chip registers to force a reset,
1862 use a JRC to do that (preferable -- the target may be wedged!),
1863 or force a watchdog timer to trigger.
1864 (For Cortex-M targets, this is not necessary. The target
1865 driver knows how to use trigger an NVIC reset when SRST is
1866 not available.)
1867
1868 Some chips need special attention during reset handling if
1869 they're going to be used with JTAG.
1870 An example might be needing to send some commands right
1871 after the target's TAP has been reset, providing a
1872 @code{reset-deassert-post} event handler that writes a chip
1873 register to report that JTAG debugging is being done.
1874 Another would be reconfiguring the watchdog so that it stops
1875 counting while the core is halted in the debugger.
1876
1877 JTAG clocking constraints often change during reset, and in
1878 some cases target config files (rather than board config files)
1879 are the right places to handle some of those issues.
1880 For example, immediately after reset most chips run using a
1881 slower clock than they will use later.
1882 That means that after reset (and potentially, as OpenOCD
1883 first starts up) they must use a slower JTAG clock rate
1884 than they will use later.
1885 @xref{jtagspeed,,JTAG Speed}.
1886
1887 @quotation Important
1888 When you are debugging code that runs right after chip
1889 reset, getting these issues right is critical.
1890 In particular, if you see intermittent failures when
1891 OpenOCD verifies the scan chain after reset,
1892 look at how you are setting up JTAG clocking.
1893 @end quotation
1894
1895 @anchor{theinittargetsprocedure}
1896 @subsection The init_targets procedure
1897 @cindex init_targets procedure
1898
1899 Target config files can either be ``linear'' (script executed line-by-line when parsed in
1900 configuration stage, @xref{configurationstage,,Configuration Stage},) or they can contain a special
1901 procedure called @code{init_targets}, which will be executed when entering run stage
1902 (after parsing all config files or after @code{init} command, @xref{enteringtherunstage,,Entering the Run Stage}.)
1903 Such procedure can be overridden by ``next level'' script (which sources the original).
1904 This concept facilitates code reuse when basic target config files provide generic configuration
1905 procedures and @code{init_targets} procedure, which can then be sourced and enhanced or changed in
1906 a ``more specific'' target config file. This is not possible with ``linear'' config scripts,
1907 because sourcing them executes every initialization commands they provide.
1908
1909 @example
1910 ### generic_file.cfg ###
1911
1912 proc setup_my_chip @{chip_name flash_size ram_size@} @{
1913 # basic initialization procedure ...
1914 @}

1916 proc init_targets @{@} @{
1917 # initializes generic chip with 4kB of flash and 1kB of RAM
1918 setup_my_chip MY_GENERIC_CHIP 4096 1024
1919 @}

1921 ### specific_file.cfg ###

1926 # initializes specific chip with 128kB of flash and 64kB of RAM
1927 setup_my_chip MY_CHIP_WITH_128K_FLASH_64KB_RAM 131072 65536
1928 @}
1929 @end example
1930
1931 The easiest way to convert ``linear'' config files to @code{init_targets} version is to
1932 enclose every line of ``code'' (i.e. not @code{source} commands, procedures, etc.) in this procedure.
1933
1934 For an example of this scheme see LPC2000 target config files.
1935
1936 The @code{init_boards} procedure is a similar concept concerning board config files
1937 (@xref{theinitboardprocedure,,The init_board procedure}.)
1938
1939 @anchor{theinittargeteventsprocedure}
1940 @subsection The init_target_events procedure
1941 @cindex init_target_events procedure
1942
1943 A special procedure called @code{init_target_events} is run just after
1944 @code{init_targets} (@xref{theinittargetsprocedure,,The init_targets
1945 procedure}.) and before @code{init_board}
1946 (@xref{theinitboardprocedure,,The init_board procedure}.) It is used
1947 to set up default target events for the targets that do not have those
1948 events already assigned.
1949
1950 @subsection ARM Core Specific Hacks
1951
1952 If the chip has a DCC, enable it. If the chip is an ARM9 with some
1953 special high speed download features - enable it.
1954
1955 If present, the MMU, the MPU and the CACHE should be disabled.
1956
1957 Some ARM cores are equipped with trace support, which permits
1958 examination of the instruction and data bus activity. Trace
1959 activity is controlled through an ``Embedded Trace Module'' (ETM)
1960 on one of the core's scan chains. The ETM emits voluminous data
1961 through a ``trace port''. (@xref{armhardwaretracing,,ARM Hardware Tracing}.)
1962 If you are using an external trace port,
1963 configure it in your board config file.
1964 If you are using an on-chip ``Embedded Trace Buffer'' (ETB),
1965 configure it in your target config file.
1966
1967 @example
1968 etm config $_TARGETNAME 16 normal full etb
1969 etb config $_TARGETNAME $_CHIPNAME.etb
1970 @end example

1991 @cindex translation
1992 If you have a configuration file for another hardware debugger
1993 or toolset (Abatron, BDI2000, BDI3000, CCS,
1994 Lauterbach, SEGGER, Macraigor, etc.), translating
1995 it into OpenOCD syntax is often quite straightforward. The most tricky
1996 part of creating a configuration script is oftentimes the reset init
1997 sequence where e.g. PLLs, DRAM and the like is set up.
1998
1999 One trick that you can use when translating is to write small
2000 Tcl procedures to translate the syntax into OpenOCD syntax. This
2001 can avoid manual translation errors and make it easier to
2002 convert other scripts later on.

2032 The commands here are commonly found in the openocd.cfg file and are
2033 used to specify what TCP/IP ports are used, and how GDB should be
2034 supported.

2037 @section Configuration Stage
2038 @cindex configuration stage
2039 @cindex config command
2040
2041 When the OpenOCD server process starts up, it enters a
2042 @emph{configuration stage} which is the only time that
2043 certain commands, @emph{configuration commands}, may be issued.
2044 Normally, configuration commands are only available
2045 inside startup scripts.
2046
2047 In this manual, the definition of a configuration command is
2048 presented as a @emph{Config Command}, not as a @emph{Command}
2049 which may be issued interactively.
2050 The runtime @command{help} command also highlights configuration
2051 commands, and those which may be issued at any time.
2052
2053 Those configuration commands include declaration of TAPs,
2054 flash banks,
2055 the interface used for JTAG communication,
2056 and other basic setup.
2057 The server must leave the configuration stage before it
2058 may access or activate TAPs.
2059 After it leaves this stage, configuration commands may no
2060 longer be issued.
2061
2062 @deffn {Command} {command mode} [command_name]
2063 Returns the command modes allowed by a command: 'any', 'config', or
2064 'exec'. If no command is specified, returns the current command
2065 mode. Returns 'unknown' if an unknown command is given. Command can be
2066 multiple tokens. (command valid any time)
2067
2068 In this document, the modes are described as stages, 'config' and
2069 'exec' mode correspond configuration stage and run stage. 'any' means
2070 the command can be executed in either
2071 stages. @xref{configurationstage,,Configuration Stage}, and
2072 @xref{enteringtherunstage,,Entering the Run Stage}.
2073 @end deffn
2074
2075 @anchor{enteringtherunstage}
2076 @section Entering the Run Stage
2077
2078 The first thing OpenOCD does after leaving the configuration
2079 stage is to verify that it can talk to the scan chain
2080 (list of TAPs) which has been configured.
2081 It will warn if it doesn't find TAPs it expects to find,
2082 or finds TAPs that aren't supposed to be there.
2083 You should see no errors at this point.
2084 If you see errors, resolve them by correcting the
2085 commands you used to configure the server.
2086 Common errors include using an initial JTAG speed that's too
2087 fast, and not providing the right IDCODE values for the TAPs
2088 on the scan chain.
2089
2090 Once OpenOCD has entered the run stage, a number of commands
2091 become available.
2092 A number of these relate to the debug targets you may have declared.
2093 For example, the @command{mww} command will not be available until
2094 a target has been successfully instantiated.
2095 If you want to use those commands, you may need to force
2096 entry to the run stage.
2097
2098 @deffn {Config Command} {init}
2099 This command terminates the configuration stage and
2100 enters the run stage. This helps when you need to have
2101 the startup scripts manage tasks such as resetting the target,
2102 programming flash, etc. To reset the CPU upon startup, add "init" and
2103 "reset" at the end of the config script or at the end of the OpenOCD
2104 command line using the @option{-c} command line switch.
2105
2106 If this command does not appear in any startup/configuration file
2107 OpenOCD executes the command for you after processing all
2108 configuration files and/or command line options.
2109
2110 @b{NOTE:} This command normally occurs near the end of your
2111 openocd.cfg file to force OpenOCD to ``initialize'' and make the
2112 targets ready. For example: If your openocd.cfg file needs to
2113 read/write memory on your target, @command{init} must occur before
2114 the memory read/write commands. This includes @command{nand probe}.
2115
2116 @command{init} calls the following internal OpenOCD commands to initialize
2117 corresponding subsystems:
2118 @deffn {Config Command} {target init}
2119 @deffnx {Command} {transport init}
2120 @deffnx {Command} {dap init}
2121 @deffnx {Config Command} {flash init}
2122 @deffnx {Config Command} {nand init}
2123 @deffnx {Config Command} {pld init}
2124 @deffnx {Command} {tpiu init}
2125 @end deffn
2126
2127 At last, @command{init} executes all the commands that are specified in
2128 the TCL list @var{post_init_commands}. The commands are executed in the
2129 same order they occupy in the list. If one of the commands fails, then
2130 the error is propagated and OpenOCD fails too.
2131 @example
2132 lappend post_init_commands @{echo "OpenOCD successfully initialized."@}
2133 lappend post_init_commands @{echo "Have fun with OpenOCD !"@}
2134 @end example
2135 @end deffn
2136
2137 @deffn {Config Command} {noinit}
2138 Prevent OpenOCD from implicit @command{init} call at the end of startup.
2139 Allows issuing configuration commands over telnet or Tcl connection.
2140 When you are done with configuration use @command{init} to enter
2141 the run stage.
2142 @end deffn
2143
2144 @deffn {Overridable Procedure} {jtag_init}
2145 This is invoked at server startup to verify that it can talk
2146 to the scan chain (list of TAPs) which has been configured.
2147
2148 The default implementation first tries @command{jtag arp_init},
2149 which uses only a lightweight JTAG reset before examining the
2150 scan chain.
2151 If that fails, it tries again, using a harder reset
2152 from the overridable procedure @command{init_reset}.
2153
2154 Implementations must have verified the JTAG scan chain before
2155 they return.
2156 This is done by calling @command{jtag arp_init}
2157 (or @command{jtag arp_init-reset}).

2161 @section TCP/IP Ports
2162 @cindex TCP port
2163 @cindex server
2164 @cindex port
2165 @cindex security
2166 The OpenOCD server accepts remote commands in several syntaxes.
2167 Each syntax uses a different TCP/IP port, which you may specify
2168 only during configuration (before those ports are opened).
2169
2170 For reasons including security, you may wish to prevent remote
2171 access using one or more of these ports.
2172 In such cases, just specify the relevant port number as "disabled".
2173 If you disable all access through TCP/IP, you will need to
2174 use the command line @option{-pipe} option.
2175
2176 @anchor{gdb_port}
2177 @deffn {Config Command} {gdb_port} [number]
2178 @cindex GDB server
2179 Normally gdb listens to a TCP/IP port, but GDB can also
2180 communicate via pipes(stdin/out or named pipes). The name
2181 "gdb_port" stuck because it covers probably more than 90% of
2182 the normal use cases.
2183
2184 No arguments reports GDB port. "pipe" means listen to stdin
2185 output to stdout, an integer is base port number, "disabled"
2186 disables the gdb server.
2187
2188 When using "pipe", also use log_output to redirect the log
2189 output to a file so as not to flood the stdin/out pipes.
2190
2191 Any other string is interpreted as named pipe to listen to.
2192 Output pipe is the same name as input pipe, but with 'o' appended,
2193 e.g. /var/gdb, /var/gdbo.
2194
2195 The GDB port for the first target will be the base port, the
2196 second target will listen on gdb_port + 1, and so on.
2197 When not specified during the configuration stage,
2198 the port @var{number} defaults to 3333.
2199 When @var{number} is not a numeric value, incrementing it to compute
2200 the next port number does not work. In this case, specify the proper
2201 @var{number} for each target by using the option @code{-gdb-port} of the
2202 commands @command{target create} or @command{$target_name configure}.
2203 @xref{gdbportoverride,,option -gdb-port}.
2204
2205 Note: when using "gdb_port pipe", increasing the default remote timeout in
2206 gdb (with 'set remotetimeout') is recommended. An insufficient timeout may
2207 cause initialization to fail with "Unknown remote qXfer reply: OK".
2208 @end deffn
2209
2210 @deffn {Config Command} {tcl_port} [number]
2211 Specify or query the port used for a simplified RPC

2213 output from the Tcl engine.
2214 Intended as a machine interface.
2215 When not specified during the configuration stage,
2216 the port @var{number} defaults to 6666.
2217 When specified as "disabled", this service is not activated.

2289 @section Event Polling
2290
2291 Hardware debuggers are parts of asynchronous systems,
2292 where significant events can happen at any time.
2293 The OpenOCD server needs to detect some of these events,
2294 so it can report them to through TCL command line
2295 or to GDB.
2296
2297 Examples of such events include:
2298
2299 @itemize
2300 @item One of the targets can stop running ... maybe it triggers
2301 a code breakpoint or data watchpoint, or halts itself.
2302 @item Messages may be sent over ``debug message'' channels ... many
2303 targets support such messages sent over JTAG,
2304 for receipt by the person debugging or tools.
2305 @item Loss of power ... some adapters can detect these events.
2306 @item Resets not issued through JTAG ... such reset sources
2307 can include button presses or other system hardware, sometimes
2308 including the target itself (perhaps through a watchdog).
2309 @item Debug instrumentation sometimes supports event triggering
2310 such as ``trace buffer full'' (so it can quickly be emptied)
2311 or other signals (to correlate with code behavior).
2312 @end itemize
2313
2314 None of those events are signaled through standard JTAG signals.
2315 However, most conventions for JTAG connectors include voltage
2316 level and system reset (SRST) signal detection.
2317 Some connectors also include instrumentation signals, which
2318 can imply events when those signals are inputs.
2319
2320 In general, OpenOCD needs to periodically check for those events,
2321 either by looking at the status of signals on the JTAG connector
2322 or by sending synchronous ``tell me your status'' JTAG requests
2323 to the various active targets.
2324 There is a command to manage and monitor that polling,
2325 which is normally done in the background.
2326
2327 @deffn {Command} {poll} [@option{on}|@option{off}]
2328 Poll the current target for its current state.
2329 (Also, @pxref{targetcurstate,,target curstate}.)
2330 If that target is in debug mode, architecture
2331 specific information about the current state is printed.
2332 An optional parameter
2333 allows background polling to be enabled and disabled.
2334
2335 You could use this from the TCL command shell, or
2336 from GDB using @command{monitor poll} command.
2337 Leave background polling enabled while you're using GDB.
2338 @example
2339 > poll
2340 background polling: on
2341 target state: halted
2342 target halted in ARM state due to debug-request, \
2343 current mode: Supervisor

2354
2355 Correctly installing OpenOCD includes making your operating system give
2356 OpenOCD access to debug adapters. Once that has been done, Tcl commands
2357 are used to select which one is used, and to configure how it is used.
2358
2359 @quotation Note
2360 Because OpenOCD started out with a focus purely on JTAG, you may find
2361 places where it wrongly presumes JTAG is the only transport protocol
2362 in use. Be aware that recent versions of OpenOCD are removing that
2363 limitation. JTAG remains more functional than most other transports.
2364 Other transports do not support boundary scan operations, or may be
2365 specific to a given chip vendor. Some might be usable only for
2366 programming flash memory, instead of also for debugging.
2367 @end quotation
2368
2369 Debug Adapters/Interfaces/Dongles are normally configured
2370 through commands in an interface configuration
2371 file which is sourced by your @file{openocd.cfg} file, or
2372 through a command line @option{-f interface/....cfg} option.
2373

2378 These commands tell
2379 OpenOCD what type of JTAG adapter you have, and how to talk to it.

2381
2382 @example
2383 # jlink interface

2530 This driver is for adapters using the MPSSE (Multi-Protocol Synchronous Serial
2531 Engine) mode built into many FTDI chips, such as the FT2232, FT4232 and FT232H.
2532
2533 The driver is using libusb-1.0 in asynchronous mode to talk to the FTDI device,
2534 bypassing intermediate libraries like libftdi.
2535
2536 Support for new FTDI based adapters can be added completely through
2537 configuration files, without the need to patch and rebuild OpenOCD.
2538
2539 The driver uses a signal abstraction to enable Tcl configuration files to
2540 define outputs for one or several FTDI GPIO. These outputs can then be
2541 controlled using the @command{ftdi set_signal} command. Special signal names
2542 are reserved for nTRST, nSRST and LED (for blink) so that they, if defined,
2543 will be used for their customary purpose. Inputs can be read using the
2544 @command{ftdi get_signal} command.
2545
2546 To support SWD, a signal named SWD_EN must be defined. It is set to 1 when the
2547 SWD protocol is selected. When set, the adapter should route the SWDIO pin to
2548 the data input. An SWDIO_OE signal, if defined, will be set to 1 or 0 as
2549 required by the protocol, to tell the adapter to drive the data output onto
2550 the SWDIO pin or keep the SWDIO pin Hi-Z, respectively.
2551
2552 Depending on the type of buffer attached to the FTDI GPIO, the outputs have to
2553 be controlled differently. In order to support tristateable signals such as
2554 nSRST, both a data GPIO and an output-enable GPIO can be specified for each
2555 signal. The following output buffer configurations are supported:
2556
2557 @itemize @minus
2558 @item Push-pull with one FTDI output as (non-)inverted data line
2559 @item Open drain with one FTDI output as (non-)inverted output-enable
2560 @item Tristate with one FTDI output as (non-)inverted data line and another
2561 FTDI output as (non-)inverted output-enable
2562 @item Unbuffered, using the FTDI GPIO as a tristate output directly by
2563 switching data and direction as necessary
2564 @end itemize
2565
2566 These interfaces have several commands, used to configure the driver
2567 before initializing the JTAG scan chain:
2568
2569 @deffn {Config Command} {ftdi vid_pid} [vid pid]+
2570 The vendor ID and product ID of the adapter. Up to eight
2571 [@var{vid}, @var{pid}] pairs may be given, e.g.
2572 @example
2573 ftdi vid_pid 0x0403 0xcff8 0x15ba 0x0003
2574 @end example
2575 @end deffn
2576
2577 @deffn {Config Command} {ftdi device_desc} description
2578 Provides the USB device description (the @emph{iProduct string})
2579 of the adapter. If not specified, the device description is ignored
2580 during device selection.
2581 @end deffn
2582
2583 @deffn {Config Command} {ftdi channel} channel
2584 Selects the channel of the FTDI device to use for MPSSE operations. Most
2585 adapters use the default, channel 0, but there are exceptions.
2586 @end deffn
2587
2588 @deffn {Config Command} {ftdi layout_init} data direction
2589 Specifies the initial values of the FTDI GPIO data and direction registers.
2590 Each value is a 16-bit number corresponding to the concatenation of the high
2591 and low FTDI GPIO registers. The values should be selected based on the
2592 schematics of the adapter, such that all signals are set to safe levels with
2593 minimal impact on the target system. Avoid floating inputs, conflicting outputs
2594 and initially asserted reset signals.
2595 @end deffn
2596
2597 @deffn {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]
2598 Creates a signal with the specified @var{name}, controlled by one or more FTDI
2599 GPIO pins via a range of possible buffer connections. The masks are FTDI GPIO
2600 register bitmasks to tell the driver the connection and type of the output
2601 buffer driving the respective signal. @var{data_mask} is the bitmask for the
2602 pin(s) connected to the data input of the output buffer. @option{-ndata} is
2603 used with inverting data inputs and @option{-data} with non-inverting inputs.
2604 The @option{-oe} (or @option{-noe}) option tells where the output-enable (or
2605 not-output-enable) input to the output buffer is connected. The options
2606 @option{-input} and @option{-ninput} specify the bitmask for pins to be read
2607 with the method @command{ftdi get_signal}.
2608
2609 Both @var{data_mask} and @var{oe_mask} need not be specified. For example, a
2610 simple open-collector transistor driver would be specified with @option{-oe}
2611 only. In that case the signal can only be set to drive low or to Hi-Z and the
2612 driver will complain if the signal is set to drive high. Which means that if
2613 it's a reset signal, @command{reset_config} must be specified as
2614 @option{srst_open_drain}, not @option{srst_push_pull}.
2615
2616 A special case is provided when @option{-data} and @option{-oe} is set to the
2617 same bitmask. Then the FTDI pin is considered being connected straight to the
2618 target without any buffer. The FTDI pin is then switched between output and
2619 input as necessary to provide the full set of low, high and Hi-Z
2620 characteristics. In all other cases, the pins specified in a signal definition
2621 are always driven by the FTDI.
2622
2623 If @option{-alias} or @option{-nalias} is used, the signal is created
2624 identical (or with data inverted) to an already specified signal
2625 @var{name}.
2626 @end deffn
2627
2628 @deffn {Command} {ftdi set_signal} name @option{0}|@option{1}|@option{z}
2629 Set a previously defined signal to the specified level.
2630 @itemize @minus
2631 @item @option{0}, drive low
2632 @item @option{1}, drive high
2633 @item @option{z}, set to high-impedance
2634 @end itemize
2635 @end deffn
2636
2637 @deffn {Command} {ftdi get_signal} name
2638 Get the value of a previously defined signal.
2639 @end deffn
2640
2641 @deffn {Command} {ftdi tdo_sample_edge} @option{rising}|@option{falling}
2642 Configure TCK edge at which the adapter samples the value of the TDO signal
2643
2644 Due to signal propagation delays, sampling TDO on rising TCK can become quite
2645 peculiar at high JTAG clock speeds. However, FTDI chips offer a possibility to sample
2646 TDO on falling edge of TCK. With some board/adapter configurations, this may increase
2647 stability at higher JTAG clocks.
2648 @itemize @minus
2649 @item @option{rising}, sample TDO on rising edge of TCK - this is the default

2730 @end deffn
2731
2732 @deffn {Config Command} {ft232r restore_serial} @var{word}
2733 Restore serial port after JTAG. This USB bitmode control word
2734 (16-bit) will be sent before quit. Lower byte should
2735 set GPIO direction register to a "sane" state:
2736 0x15 for TXD RTS DTR as outputs (1), others as inputs (0). Higher
2737 byte is usually 0 to disable bitbang mode.
2738 When kernel driver reattaches, serial port should continue to work.
2739 Value 0xFFFF disables sending control word and serial port,
2740 then kernel driver will not reattach.
2741 If not specified, default 0xFFFF is used.

2745
2746 @deffn {Interface Driver} {remote_bitbang}
2747 Drive JTAG from a remote process. This sets up a UNIX or TCP socket connection
2748 with a remote process and sends ASCII encoded bitbang requests to that process
2749 instead of directly driving JTAG.
2750
2751 The remote_bitbang driver is useful for debugging software running on
2752 processors which are being simulated.
2753
2754 @deffn {Config Command} {remote_bitbang port} number
2755 Specifies the TCP port of the remote process to connect to or 0 to use UNIX
2756 sockets instead of TCP.
2757 @end deffn
2758
2759 @deffn {Config Command} {remote_bitbang host} hostname
2760 Specifies the hostname of the remote process to connect to using TCP, or the
2761 name of the UNIX socket to use if remote_bitbang port is 0.
2762 @end deffn
2763
2764 For example, to connect remotely via TCP to the host foobar you might have
2765 something like:

2784 USB JTAG/USB-Blaster compatibles over one of the userspace libraries
2785 for FTDI chips. These interfaces have several commands, used to
2786 configure the driver before initializing the JTAG scan chain:
2787
2788 @deffn {Config Command} {usb_blaster vid_pid} vid pid
2789 The vendor ID and product ID of the FTDI FT245 device. If not specified,
2790 default values are used.
2791 Currently, only one @var{vid}, @var{pid} pair may be given, e.g. for
2792 Altera USB-Blaster (default):
2793 @example
2794 usb_blaster vid_pid 0x09FB 0x6001
2795 @end example
2796 The following VID/PID is for Kolja Waschk's USB JTAG:
2797 @example

2800 @end deffn
2801
2802 @deffn {Command} {usb_blaster pin} (@option{pin6}|@option{pin8}) (@option{0}|@option{1}|@option{s}|@option{t})
2803 Sets the state or function of the unused GPIO pins on USB-Blasters
2804 (pins 6 and 8 on the female JTAG header). These pins can be used as
2805 SRST and/or TRST provided the appropriate connections are made on the
2806 target board.
2807
2808 For example, to use pin 6 as SRST:
2809 @example
2810 usb_blaster pin pin6 s
2811 reset_config srst_only
2812 @end example
2813 @end deffn
2814
2815 @deffn {Config Command} {usb_blaster lowlevel_driver} (@option{ftdi}|@option{ublast2})
2816 Chooses the low level access method for the adapter. If not specified,
2817 @option{ftdi} is selected unless it wasn't enabled during the
2818 configure stage. USB-Blaster II needs @option{ublast2}.

2841 SEGGER J-Link family of USB adapters. It currently supports JTAG and SWD
2842 transports.
2843
2844 @quotation Compatibility Note
2845 SEGGER released many firmware versions for the many hardware versions they
2846 produced. OpenOCD was extensively tested and intended to run on all of them,
2847 but some combinations were reported as incompatible. As a general
2848 recommendation, it is advisable to use the latest firmware version
2849 available for each hardware version. However the current V8 is a moving
2850 target, and SEGGER firmware versions released after the OpenOCD was
2851 released may not be compatible. In such cases it is recommended to
2852 revert to the last known functional version. For 0.5.0, this is from
2853 "Feb 8 2012 14:30:39", packed with 4.42c. For 0.6.0, the last known

2923 @deffn {Interface Driver} {kitprog}
2924 This driver is for Cypress Semiconductor's KitProg adapters. The KitProg is an
2925 SWD-only adapter that is designed to be used with Cypress's PSoC and PRoC device
2926 families, but it is possible to use it with some other devices. If you are using
2927 this adapter with a PSoC or a PRoC, you may need to add
2928 @command{kitprog_init_acquire_psoc} or @command{kitprog acquire_psoc} to your
2929 configuration script.
2930
2931 Note that this driver is for the proprietary KitProg protocol, not the CMSIS-DAP
2932 mode introduced in firmware 2.14. If the KitProg is in CMSIS-DAP mode, it cannot
2933 be used with this driver, and must either be used with the cmsis-dap driver or
2934 switched back to KitProg mode. See the Cypress KitProg User Guide for
2935 instructions on how to switch KitProg modes.
2936
2937 Known limitations:
2938 @itemize @bullet
2939 @item The frequency of SWCLK cannot be configured, and varies between 1.6 MHz
2940 and 2.7 MHz.
2941 @item For firmware versions below 2.14, "JTAG to SWD" sequences are replaced by
2942 "SWD line reset" in the driver. This is for two reasons. First, the KitProg does
2943 not support sending arbitrary SWD sequences, and only firmware 2.14 and later
2944 implement both "JTAG to SWD" and "SWD line reset" in firmware. Earlier firmware
2945 versions only implement "SWD line reset". Second, due to a firmware quirk, an
2946 SWD sequence must be sent after every target reset in order to re-establish
2947 communications with the target.
2948 @item Due in part to the limitation above, KitProg devices with firmware below
2949 version 2.14 will need to use @command{kitprog_init_acquire_psoc} in order to
2950 communicate with PSoC 5LP devices. This is because, assuming debug is not
2951 disabled on the PSoC, the PSoC 5LP needs its JTAG interface switched to SWD
2952 mode before communication can begin, but prior to firmware 2.14, "JTAG to SWD"
2953 could only be sent with an acquisition sequence.

3010 @deffn {Config Command} {parport port} [port_number]
3011 Display either the address of the I/O port
3012 (default: 0x378 for LPT1) or the number of the @file{/dev/parport} device.
3013 If a parameter is provided, first switch to use that port.
3014 This is a write-once setting.
3015
3016 When using PPDEV to access the parallel port, use the number of the parallel port:
3017 @option{parport port 0} (the default). If @option{parport port 0x378} is specified
3018 you may encounter a problem.
3019 @end deffn
3020
3021 @deffn {Config Command} {parport toggling_time} [nanoseconds]
3022 Displays how many nanoseconds the hardware needs to toggle TCK;
3023 the parport driver uses this value to obey the
3024 @command{adapter speed} configuration.
3025 When the optional @var{nanoseconds} parameter is given,
3026 that setting is changed before displaying the current value.
3027
3028 The default setting should work reasonably well on commodity PC hardware.
3029 However, you may want to calibrate for your specific hardware.
3030 @quotation Tip
3031 To measure the toggling time with a logic analyzer or a digital storage
3032 oscilloscope, follow the procedure below:
3033 @example
3034 > parport toggling_time 1000
3035 > adapter speed 500
3036 @end example
3037 This sets the maximum JTAG clock speed of the hardware, but
3038 the actual speed probably deviates from the requested 500 kHz.
3039 Now, measure the time between the two closest spaced TCK transitions.
3040 You can use @command{runtest 1000} or something similar to generate a
3041 large set of samples.
3042 Update the setting to match your measurement:
3043 @example
3044 > parport toggling_time <measured nanoseconds>
3045 @end example
3046 Now the clock speed will be a better match for @command{adapter speed}
3047 command given in OpenOCD scripts and event handlers.
3048
3049 You can do something similar with many digital multimeters, but note
3050 that you'll probably need to run the clock continuously for several
3051 seconds before it decides what clock rate to show. Adjust the
3052 toggling time up or down until the measured clock rate is a good
3053 match with the rate you specified in the @command{adapter speed} command;
3054 be conservative.

3647 @section Transport Configuration
3648 @cindex Transport
3649 As noted earlier, depending on the version of OpenOCD you use,
3650 and the debug adapter you are using,
3651 several transports may be available to
3652 communicate with debug targets (or perhaps to program flash memory).
3653 @deffn {Command} {transport list}
3654 displays the names of the transports supported by this
3655 version of OpenOCD.
3656 @end deffn
3657
3658 @deffn {Command} {transport select} @option{transport_name}
3659 Select which of the supported transports to use in this OpenOCD session.
3660
3661 When invoked with @option{transport_name}, attempts to select the named
3662 transport. The transport must be supported by the debug adapter
3663 hardware and by the version of OpenOCD you are using (including the
3664 adapter's driver).
3665
3666 If no transport has been selected and no @option{transport_name} is
3667 provided, @command{transport select} auto-selects the first transport
3668 supported by the debug adapter.
3669
3670 @command{transport select} always returns the name of the session's selected
3671 transport, if any.
3672 @end deffn
3673
3674 @subsection JTAG Transport
3675 @cindex JTAG
3676 JTAG is the original transport supported by OpenOCD, and most
3677 of the OpenOCD commands support it.
3678 JTAG transports expose a chain of one or more Test Access Points (TAPs),
3679 each of which must be explicitly declared.
3680 JTAG supports both debugging and boundary scan testing.
3681 Flash programming support is built on top of debug support.
3682
3683 JTAG transport is selected with the command @command{transport select
3684 jtag}. Unless your adapter uses either @ref{hla_interface,the hla interface
3685 driver} (in which case the command is @command{transport select hla_jtag})
3686 or @ref{st_link_dap_interface,the st-link interface driver} (in which case
3687 the command is @command{transport select dapdirect_jtag}).
3688
3689 @subsection SWD Transport
3690 @cindex SWD
3691 @cindex Serial Wire Debug
3692 SWD (Serial Wire Debug) is an ARM-specific transport which exposes one
3693 Debug Access Point (DAP, which must be explicitly declared.
3694 (SWD uses fewer signal wires than JTAG.)
3695 SWD is debug-oriented, and does not support boundary scan testing.
3696 Flash programming support is built on top of debug support.
3697 (Some processors support both JTAG and SWD.)
3698
3699 SWD transport is selected with the command @command{transport select
3700 swd}. Unless your adapter uses either @ref{hla_interface,the hla interface
3701 driver} (in which case the command is @command{transport select hla_swd})
3702 or @ref{st_link_dap_interface,the st-link interface driver} (in which case
3703 the command is @command{transport select dapdirect_swd}).
3704
3705 @deffn {Config Command} {swd newdap} ...
3706 Declares a single DAP which uses SWD transport.
3707 Parameters are currently the same as "jtag newtap" but this is
3708 expected to change.
3709 @end deffn
3710
3711 @cindex SWD multi-drop
3712 The newer SWD devices (SW-DP v2 or SWJ-DP v2) support the multi-drop extension
3713 of SWD protocol: two or more devices can be connected to one SWD adapter.
3714 SWD transport works in multi-drop mode if @ref{dap_create,DAP} is configured
3715 with both @code{-dp-id} and @code{-instance-id} parameters regardless how many
3716 DAPs are created.
3717
3718 Not all adapters and adapter drivers support SWD multi-drop. Only the following
3719 adapter drivers are SWD multi-drop capable:
3720 cmsis_dap (use an adapter with CMSIS-DAP version 2.0), ftdi, all bitbang based.
3721
3722 @subsection SPI Transport
3723 @cindex SPI
3724 @cindex Serial Peripheral Interface
3725 The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a general purpose transport
3726 which uses four wire signaling. Some processors use it as part of a
3727 solution for flash programming.
3728
3729 @anchor{swimtransport}
3730 @subsection SWIM Transport
3731 @cindex SWIM
3732 @cindex Single Wire Interface Module
3733 The Single Wire Interface Module (SWIM) is a low-pin-count debug protocol used
3734 by the STMicroelectronics MCU family STM8 and documented in the
3735 @uref{https://www.st.com/resource/en/user_manual/cd00173911.pdf, User Manual UM470}.
3736
3737 SWIM does not support boundary scan testing nor multiple cores.
3738
3739 The SWIM transport is selected with the command @command{transport select swim}.
3740
3741 The concept of TAPs does not fit in the protocol since SWIM does not implement
3742 a scan chain. Nevertheless, the current SW model of OpenOCD requires defining a
3743 virtual SWIM TAP through the command @command{swim newtap basename tap_type}.
3744 The TAP definition must precede the target definition command
3745 @command{target create target_name stm8 -chain-position basename.tap_type}.
3746
3747 @anchor{jtagspeed}
3748 @section JTAG Speed
3749 JTAG clock setup is part of system setup.
3750 It @emph{does not belong with interface setup} since any interface
3751 only knows a few of the constraints for the JTAG clock speed.
3752 Sometimes the JTAG speed is
3753 changed during the target initialization process: (1) slow at
3754 reset, (2) program the CPU clocks, (3) run fast.
3755 Both the "slow" and "fast" clock rates are functions of the
3756 oscillators used, the chip, the board design, and sometimes
3757 power management software that may be active.
3758
3759 The speed used during reset, and the scan chain verification which
3760 follows reset, can be adjusted using a @code{reset-start}
3761 target event handler.
3762 It can then be reconfigured to a faster speed by a
3763 @code{reset-init} target event handler after it reprograms those
3764 CPU clocks, or manually (if something else, such as a boot loader,
3765 sets up those clocks).
3766 @xref{targetevents,,Target Events}.
3767 When the initial low JTAG speed is a chip characteristic, perhaps
3768 because of a required oscillator speed, provide such a handler
3769 in the target config file.
3770 When that speed is a function of a board-specific characteristic
3771 such as which speed oscillator is used, it belongs in the board
3772 config file instead.
3773 In both cases it's safest to also set the initial JTAG clock rate
3774 to that same slow speed, so that OpenOCD never starts up using a
3775 clock speed that's faster than the scan chain can support.
3776
3777 @example
3778 jtag_rclk 3000
3779 $_TARGET.cpu configure -event reset-start @{ jtag_rclk 3000 @}
3780 @end example
3781
3782 If your system supports adaptive clocking (RTCK), configuring
3783 JTAG to use that is probably the most robust approach.
3784 However, it introduces delays to synchronize clocks; so it
3785 may not be the fastest solution.
3786
3787 @b{NOTE:} Script writers should consider using @command{jtag_rclk}
3788 instead of @command{adapter speed}, but only for (ARM) cores and boards
3789 which support adaptive clocking.
3790
3791 @deffn {Command} {adapter speed} max_speed_kHz
3792 A non-zero speed is in KHZ. Hence: 3000 is 3mhz.
3793 JTAG interfaces usually support a limited number of
3794 speeds. The speed actually used won't be faster
3795 than the speed specified.
3796
3797 Chip data sheets generally include a top JTAG clock rate.
3798 The actual rate is often a function of a CPU core clock,
3799 and is normally less than that peak rate.
3800 For example, most ARM cores accept at most one sixth of the CPU clock.
3801
3802 Speed 0 (khz) selects RTCK method.
3803 @xref{faqrtck,,FAQ RTCK}.
3804 If your system uses RTCK, you won't need to change the
3805 JTAG clocking after setup.
3806 Not all interfaces, boards, or targets support ``rtck''.
3807 If the interface device can not
3808 support it, an error is returned when you try to use RTCK.

3824 @chapter Reset Configuration
3825 @cindex Reset Configuration
3826
3827 Every system configuration may require a different reset
3828 configuration. This can also be quite confusing.
3829 Resets also interact with @var{reset-init} event handlers,
3830 which do things like setting up clocks and DRAM, and
3831 JTAG clock rates. (@xref{jtagspeed,,JTAG Speed}.)
3832 They can also interact with JTAG routers.
3833 Please see the various board files for examples.
3834
3835 @quotation Note
3836 To maintainers and integrators:
3837 Reset configuration touches several things at once.
3838 Normally the board configuration file
3839 should define it and assume that the JTAG adapter supports
3840 everything that's wired up to the board's JTAG connector.
3841
3842 However, the target configuration file could also make note
3843 of something the silicon vendor has done inside the chip,
3844 which will be true for most (or all) boards using that chip.
3845 And when the JTAG adapter doesn't support everything, the
3846 user configuration file will need to override parts of
3847 the reset configuration provided by other files.
3848 @end quotation
3849
3850 @section Types of Reset
3851
3852 There are many kinds of reset possible through JTAG, but
3853 they may not all work with a given board and adapter.
3854 That's part of why reset configuration can be error prone.
3855
3856 @itemize @bullet
3857 @item
3858 @emph{System Reset} ... the @emph{SRST} hardware signal
3859 resets all chips connected to the JTAG adapter, such as processors,
3860 power management chips, and I/O controllers. Normally resets triggered
3861 with this signal behave exactly like pressing a RESET button.
3862 @item
3863 @emph{JTAG TAP Reset} ... the @emph{TRST} hardware signal resets
3864 just the TAP controllers connected to the JTAG adapter.
3865 Such resets should not be visible to the rest of the system; resetting a
3866 device's TAP controller just puts that controller into a known state.
3867 @item
3868 @emph{Emulation Reset} ... many devices can be reset through JTAG
3869 commands. These resets are often distinguishable from system
3870 resets, either explicitly (a "reset reason" register says so)
3871 or implicitly (not all parts of the chip get reset).
3872 @item
3873 @emph{Other Resets} ... system-on-chip devices often support
3874 several other types of reset.
3875 You may need to arrange that a watchdog timer stops
3876 while debugging, preventing a watchdog reset.
3877 There may be individual module resets.
3878 @end itemize
3879
3880 In the best case, OpenOCD can hold SRST, then reset
3881 the TAPs via TRST and send commands through JTAG to halt the
3882 CPU at the reset vector before the 1st instruction is executed.
3883 Then when it finally releases the SRST signal, the system is
3884 halted under debugger control before any code has executed.
3885 This is the behavior required to support the @command{reset halt}
3886 and @command{reset init} commands; after @command{reset init} a
3887 board-specific script might do things like setting up DRAM.

3890 @anchor{srstandtrstissues}
3891 @section SRST and TRST Issues
3892
3893 Because SRST and TRST are hardware signals, they can have a
3894 variety of system-specific constraints. Some of the most
3895 common issues are:
3896
3897 @itemize @bullet
3898
3899 @item @emph{Signal not available} ... Some boards don't wire
3900 SRST or TRST to the JTAG connector. Some JTAG adapters don't
3901 support such signals even if they are wired up.
3902 Use the @command{reset_config} @var{signals} options to say
3903 when either of those signals is not connected.
3904 When SRST is not available, your code might not be able to rely
3905 on controllers having been fully reset during code startup.
3906 Missing TRST is not a problem, since JTAG-level resets can
3907 be triggered using with TMS signaling.
3908
3909 @item @emph{Signals shorted} ... Sometimes a chip, board, or
3910 adapter will connect SRST to TRST, instead of keeping them separate.
3911 Use the @command{reset_config} @var{combination} options to say
3912 when those signals aren't properly independent.
3913
3914 @item @emph{Timing} ... Reset circuitry like a resistor/capacitor
3915 delay circuit, reset supervisor, or on-chip features can extend
3916 the effect of a JTAG adapter's reset for some time after the adapter
3917 stops issuing the reset. For example, there may be chip or board
3918 requirements that all reset pulses last for at least a
3919 certain amount of time; and reset buttons commonly have
3920 hardware debouncing.
3921 Use the @command{adapter srst delay} and @command{jtag_ntrst_delay}
3922 commands to say when extra delays are needed.
3923
3924 @item @emph{Drive type} ... Reset lines often have a pullup
3925 resistor, letting the JTAG interface treat them as open-drain
3926 signals. But that's not a requirement, so the adapter may need
3927 to use push/pull output drivers.
3928 Also, with weak pullups it may be advisable to drive
3929 signals to both levels (push/pull) to minimize rise times.
3930 Use the @command{reset_config} @var{trst_type} and
3931 @var{srst_type} parameters to say how to drive reset signals.
3932
3933 @item @emph{Special initialization} ... Targets sometimes need
3934 special JTAG initialization sequences to handle chip-specific
3935 issues (not limited to errata).
3936 For example, certain JTAG commands might need to be issued while
3937 the system as a whole is in a reset state (SRST active)
3938 but the JTAG scan chain is usable (TRST inactive).
3939 Many systems treat combined assertion of SRST and TRST as a
3940 trigger for a harder reset than SRST alone.
3941 Such custom reset handling is discussed later in this chapter.
3942 @end itemize
3943
3944 There can also be other issues.
3945 Some devices don't fully conform to the JTAG specifications.
3946 Trivial system-specific differences are common, such as
3947 SRST and TRST using slightly different names.
3948 There are also vendors who distribute key JTAG documentation for
3949 their chips only to developers who have signed a Non-Disclosure
3950 Agreement (NDA).
3951
3952 Sometimes there are chip-specific extensions like a requirement to use
3953 the normally-optional TRST signal (precluding use of JTAG adapters which
3954 don't pass TRST through), or needing extra steps to complete a TAP reset.
3955
3956 In short, SRST and especially TRST handling may be very finicky,
3957 needing to cope with both architecture and board specific constraints.

3969 nSRST (active-low system reset) before starting new JTAG operations.
3970 When a board has a reset button connected to SRST line it will
3971 probably have hardware debouncing, implying you should use this.
3972 @end deffn
3973
3974 @deffn {Command} {jtag_ntrst_assert_width} milliseconds

3979
3980 @deffn {Command} {jtag_ntrst_delay} milliseconds

3983 @end deffn
3984
3985 @anchor{reset_config}
3986 @deffn {Command} {reset_config} mode_flag ...
3987 This command displays or modifies the reset configuration
3988 of your combination of JTAG board and target in target
3989 configuration scripts.
3990
3991 Information earlier in this section describes the kind of problems
3992 the command is intended to address (@pxref{srstandtrstissues,,SRST and TRST Issues}).
3993 As a rule this command belongs only in board config files,
3994 describing issues like @emph{board doesn't connect TRST};
3995 or in user config files, addressing limitations derived
3996 from a particular combination of interface and board.
3997 (An unlikely example would be using a TRST-only adapter
3998 with a board that only wires up SRST.)
3999
4000 The @var{mode_flag} options can be specified in any order, but only one
4001 of each type -- @var{signals}, @var{combination}, @var{gates},
4002 @var{trst_type}, @var{srst_type} and @var{connect_type}
4003 -- may be specified at a time.
4004 If you don't provide a new value for a given type, its previous
4005 value (perhaps the default) is unchanged.
4006 For example, this means that you don't need to say anything at all about
4007 TRST just to declare that if the JTAG adapter should want to drive SRST,
4008 it must explicitly be driven high (@option{srst_push_pull}).
4009
4010 @itemize
4011 @item
4012 @var{signals} can specify which of the reset signals are connected.
4013 For example, If the JTAG interface provides SRST, but the board doesn't
4014 connect that signal properly, then OpenOCD can't use it.
4015 Possible values are @option{none} (the default), @option{trst_only},
4016 @option{srst_only} and @option{trst_and_srst}.
4017
4018 @quotation Tip
4019 If your board provides SRST and/or TRST through the JTAG connector,
4020 you must declare that so those signals can be used.
4021 @end quotation
4022
4023 @item
4024 The @var{combination} is an optional value specifying broken reset
4025 signal implementations.
4026 The default behaviour if no option given is @option{separate},
4027 indicating everything behaves normally.
4028 @option{srst_pulls_trst} states that the
4029 test logic is reset together with the reset of the system (e.g. NXP
4030 LPC2000, "broken" board layout), @option{trst_pulls_srst} says that
4031 the system is reset together with the test logic (only hypothetical, I
4032 haven't seen hardware with such a bug, and can be worked around).
4033 @option{combined} implies both @option{srst_pulls_trst} and
4034 @option{trst_pulls_srst}.
4035
4036 @item
4037 The @var{gates} tokens control flags that describe some cases where
4038 JTAG may be unavailable during reset.
4039 @option{srst_gates_jtag} (default)
4040 indicates that asserting SRST gates the
4041 JTAG clock. This means that no communication can happen on JTAG
4042 while SRST is asserted.
4043 Its converse is @option{srst_nogate}, indicating that JTAG commands
4044 can safely be issued while SRST is active.
4045
4046 @item
4047 The @var{connect_type} tokens control flags that describe some cases where
4048 SRST is asserted while connecting to the target. @option{srst_nogate}
4049 is required to use this option.
4050 @option{connect_deassert_srst} (default)
4051 indicates that SRST will not be asserted while connecting to the target.
4052 Its converse is @option{connect_assert_srst}, indicating that SRST will
4053 be asserted before any target connection.
4054 Only some targets support this feature, STM32 and STR9 are examples.
4055 This feature is useful if you are unable to connect to your target due
4056 to incorrect options byte config or illegal program execution.
4057 @end itemize
4058
4059 The optional @var{trst_type} and @var{srst_type} parameters allow the
4060 driver mode of each reset line to be specified. These values only affect
4061 JTAG interfaces with support for different driver modes, like the Amontec
4062 JTAGkey and JTAG Accelerator. Also, they are necessarily ignored if the
4063 relevant signal (TRST or SRST) is not connected.
4064
4065 @itemize
4066 @item
4067 Possible @var{trst_type} driver modes for the test reset signal (TRST)
4068 are the default @option{trst_push_pull}, and @option{trst_open_drain}.
4069 Most boards connect this signal to a pulldown, so the JTAG TAPs
4070 never leave reset unless they are hooked up to a JTAG adapter.
4071
4072 @item
4073 Possible @var{srst_type} driver modes for the system reset signal (SRST)
4074 are the default @option{srst_open_drain}, and @option{srst_push_pull}.
4075 Most boards connect this signal to a pullup, and allow the
4076 signal to be pulled low by various events including system
4077 power-up and pressing a reset button.

4079 @end deffn
4080
4081 @section Custom Reset Handling
4082 @cindex events
4083
4084 OpenOCD has several ways to help support the various reset
4085 mechanisms provided by chip and board vendors.
4086 The commands shown in the previous section give standard parameters.
4087 There are also @emph{event handlers} associated with TAPs or Targets.
4088 Those handlers are Tcl procedures you can provide, which are invoked
4089 at particular points in the reset sequence.
4090
4091 @emph{When SRST is not an option} you must set
4092 up a @code{reset-assert} event handler for your target.
4093 For example, some JTAG adapters don't include the SRST signal;
4094 and some boards have multiple targets, and you won't always
4095 want to reset everything at once.
4096
4097 After configuring those mechanisms, you might still
4098 find your board doesn't start up or reset correctly.
4099 For example, maybe it needs a slightly different sequence
4100 of SRST and/or TRST manipulations, because of quirks that
4101 the @command{reset_config} mechanism doesn't address;
4102 or asserting both might trigger a stronger reset, which
4103 needs special attention.
4104
4105 Experiment with lower level operations, such as
4106 @command{adapter assert}, @command{adapter deassert}
4107 and the @command{jtag arp_*} operations shown here,
4108 to find a sequence of operations that works.
4109 @xref{JTAG Commands}.
4110 When you find a working sequence, it can be used to override
4111 @command{jtag_init}, which fires during OpenOCD startup
4112 (@pxref{configurationstage,,Configuration Stage});
4113 or @command{init_reset}, which fires during reset processing.
4114
4115 You might also want to provide some project-specific reset
4116 schemes. For example, on a multi-target board the standard
4117 @command{reset} command would reset all targets, but you
4118 may need the ability to reset only one target at time and
4119 thus want to avoid using the board-wide SRST signal.
4120
4121 @deffn {Overridable Procedure} {init_reset} mode
4122 This is invoked near the beginning of the @command{reset} command,
4123 usually to provide as much of a cold (power-up) reset as practical.
4124 By default it is also invoked from @command{jtag_init} if
4125 the scan chain does not respond to pure JTAG operations.
4126 The @var{mode} parameter is the parameter given to the
4127 low level reset command (@option{halt},
4128 @option{init}, or @option{run}), @option{setup},
4129 or potentially some other value.
4130
4131 The default implementation just invokes @command{jtag arp_init-reset}.
4132 Replacements will normally build on low level JTAG
4133 operations such as @command{adapter assert} and @command{adapter deassert}.
4134 Operations here must not address individual TAPs
4135 (or their associated targets)
4136 until the JTAG scan chain has first been verified to work.
4137
4138 Implementations must have verified the JTAG scan chain before
4139 they return.
4140 This is done by calling @command{jtag arp_init}
4141 (or @command{jtag arp_init-reset}).
4142 @end deffn
4143
4144 @deffn {Command} {jtag arp_init}
4145 This validates the scan chain using just the four
4146 standard JTAG signals (TMS, TCK, TDI, TDO).
4147 It starts by issuing a JTAG-only reset.
4148 Then it performs checks to verify that the scan chain configuration
4149 matches the TAPs it can observe.
4150 Those checks include checking IDCODE values for each active TAP,
4151 and verifying the length of their instruction registers using
4152 TAP @code{-ircapture} and @code{-irmask} values.
4153 If these tests all pass, TAP @code{setup} events are
4154 issued to all TAPs with handlers for that event.
4155 @end deffn
4156
4157 @deffn {Command} {jtag arp_init-reset}
4158 This uses TRST and SRST to try resetting
4159 everything on the JTAG scan chain
4160 (and anything else connected to SRST).
4161 It then invokes the logic of @command{jtag arp_init}.

4166 @chapter TAP Declaration
4167 @cindex TAP declaration
4168 @cindex TAP configuration
4169
4170 @emph{Test Access Ports} (TAPs) are the core of JTAG.
4171 TAPs serve many roles, including:
4172
4173 @itemize @bullet
4174 @item @b{Debug Target} A CPU TAP can be used as a GDB debug target.
4175 @item @b{Flash Programming} Some chips program the flash directly via JTAG.
4176 Others do it indirectly, making a CPU do it.
4177 @item @b{Program Download} Using the same CPU support GDB uses,
4178 you can initialize a DRAM controller, download code to DRAM, and then
4179 start running that code.
4180 @item @b{Boundary Scan} Most chips support boundary scan, which
4181 helps test for board assembly problems like solder bridges
4182 and missing connections.
4183 @end itemize
4184
4185 OpenOCD must know about the active TAPs on your board(s).
4186 Setting up the TAPs is the core task of your configuration files.
4187 Once those TAPs are set up, you can pass their names to code
4188 which sets up CPUs and exports them as GDB targets,
4189 probes flash memory, performs low-level JTAG operations, and more.
4190
4191 @section Scan Chains
4192 @cindex scan chain
4193
4194 TAPs are part of a hardware @dfn{scan chain},
4195 which is a daisy chain of TAPs.
4196 They also need to be added to
4197 OpenOCD's software mirror of that hardware list,
4198 giving each member a name and associating other data with it.
4199 Simple scan chains, with a single TAP, are common in
4200 systems with a single microcontroller or microprocessor.
4201 More complex chips may have several TAPs internally.
4202 Very complex scan chains might have a dozen or more TAPs:
4203 several in one chip, more in the next, and connecting
4204 to other boards with their own chips and TAPs.
4205
4206 You can display the list with the @command{scan_chain} command.
4207 (Don't confuse this with the list displayed by the @command{targets}
4208 command, presented in the next chapter.
4209 That only displays TAPs for CPUs which are configured as
4210 debugging targets.)
4211 Here's what the scan chain might look like for a chip more than one TAP:
4212
4213 @verbatim
4214 TapName Enabled IdCode Expected IrLen IrCap IrMask
4215 -- ------------------ ------- ---------- ---------- ----- ----- ------
4216 0 omap5912.dsp Y 0x03df1d81 0x03df1d81 38 0x01 0x03
4217 1 omap5912.arm Y 0x0692602f 0x0692602f 4 0x01 0x0f
4218 2 omap5912.unknown Y 0x00000000 0x00000000 8 0x01 0x03
4219 @end verbatim
4220
4221 OpenOCD can detect some of that information, but not all
4222 of it. @xref{autoprobing,,Autoprobing}.
4223 Unfortunately, those TAPs can't always be autoconfigured,
4224 because not all devices provide good support for that.
4225 JTAG doesn't require supporting IDCODE instructions, and
4226 chips with JTAG routers may not link TAPs into the chain
4227 until they are told to do so.
4228
4229 The configuration mechanism currently supported by OpenOCD
4230 requires explicit configuration of all TAP devices using
4231 @command{jtag newtap} commands, as detailed later in this chapter.
4232 A command like this would declare one tap and name it @code{chip1.cpu}:
4233
4234 @example
4235 jtag newtap chip1 cpu -irlen 4 -expected-id 0x3ba00477
4236 @end example
4237
4238 Each target configuration file lists the TAPs provided
4239 by a given chip.
4240 Board configuration files combine all the targets on a board,
4241 and so forth.
4242 Note that @emph{the order in which TAPs are declared is very important.}
4243 That declaration order must match the order in the JTAG scan chain,
4244 both inside a single chip and between them.
4245 @xref{faqtaporder,,FAQ TAP Order}.
4246
4247 For example, the STMicroelectronics STR912 chip has
4248 three separate TAPs@footnote{See the ST
4249 document titled: @emph{STR91xFAxxx, Section 3.15 Jtag Interface, Page:
4250 28/102, Figure 3: JTAG chaining inside the STR91xFA}.
4251 @url{http://eu.st.com/stonline/products/literature/ds/13495.pdf}}.
4252 To configure those taps, @file{target/str912.cfg}
4253 includes commands something like this:
4254
4255 @example
4256 jtag newtap str912 flash ... params ...
4257 jtag newtap str912 cpu ... params ...
4258 jtag newtap str912 bs ... params ...
4259 @end example
4260
4261 Actual config files typically use a variable such as @code{$_CHIPNAME}
4262 instead of literals like @option{str912}, to support more than one chip
4263 of each type. @xref{Config File Guidelines}.
4264
4265 @deffn {Command} {jtag names}
4266 Returns the names of all current TAPs in the scan chain.
4267 Use @command{jtag cget} or @command{jtag tapisenabled}
4268 to examine attributes and state of each TAP.
4269 @example
4270 foreach t [jtag names] @{
4271 puts [format "TAP: %s\n" $t]
4272 @}
4273 @end example
4274 @end deffn
4275
4276 @deffn {Command} {scan_chain}
4277 Displays the TAPs in the scan chain configuration,
4278 and their status.
4279 The set of TAPs listed by this command is fixed by
4280 exiting the OpenOCD configuration stage,
4281 but systems with a JTAG router can
4282 enable or disable TAPs dynamically.
4283 @end deffn
4284
4285 @c FIXME! "jtag cget" should be able to return all TAP
4286 @c attributes, like "$target_name cget" does for targets.
4287
4288 @c Probably want "jtag eventlist", and a "tap-reset" event
4289 @c (on entry to RESET state).
4290
4291 @section TAP Names
4292 @cindex dotted name
4293
4294 When TAP objects are declared with @command{jtag newtap},
4295 a @dfn{dotted.name} is created for the TAP, combining the
4296 name of a module (usually a chip) and a label for the TAP.
4297 For example: @code{xilinx.tap}, @code{str912.flash},
4298 @code{omap3530.jrc}, @code{dm6446.dsp}, or @code{stm32.cpu}.
4299 Many other commands use that dotted.name to manipulate or
4300 refer to the TAP. For example, CPU configuration uses the
4301 name, as does declaration of NAND or NOR flash banks.
4302
4303 The components of a dotted name should follow ``C'' symbol
4304 name rules: start with an alphabetic character, then numbers
4305 and underscores are OK; while others (including dots!) are not.
4306
4307 @section TAP Declaration Commands
4308
4309 @deffn {Config Command} {jtag newtap} chipname tapname configparams...
4310 Declares a new TAP with the dotted name @var{chipname}.@var{tapname},
4311 and configured according to the various @var{configparams}.
4312
4313 The @var{chipname} is a symbolic name for the chip.
4314 Conventionally target config files use @code{$_CHIPNAME},
4315 defaulting to the model name given by the chip vendor but
4316 overridable.
4317
4318 @cindex TAP naming convention
4319 The @var{tapname} reflects the role of that TAP,
4320 and should follow this convention:
4321
4322 @itemize @bullet
4323 @item @code{bs} -- For boundary scan if this is a separate TAP;
4324 @item @code{cpu} -- The main CPU of the chip, alternatively
4325 @code{arm} and @code{dsp} on chips with both ARM and DSP CPUs,
4326 @code{arm1} and @code{arm2} on chips with two ARMs, and so forth;
4327 @item @code{etb} -- For an embedded trace buffer (example: an ARM ETB11);
4328 @item @code{flash} -- If the chip has a flash TAP, like the str912;
4329 @item @code{jrc} -- For JTAG route controller (example: the ICEPick modules
4330 on many Texas Instruments chips, like the OMAP3530 on Beagleboards);
4331 @item @code{tap} -- Should be used only for FPGA- or CPLD-like devices
4332 with a single TAP;
4333 @item @code{unknownN} -- If you have no idea what the TAP is for (N is a number);
4334 @item @emph{when in doubt} -- Use the chip maker's name in their data sheet.
4335 For example, the Freescale i.MX31 has a SDMA (Smart DMA) with
4336 a JTAG TAP; that TAP should be named @code{sdma}.
4337 @end itemize
4338
4339 Every TAP requires at least the following @var{configparams}:
4340
4341 @itemize @bullet
4342 @item @code{-irlen} @var{NUMBER}
4343 @*The length in bits of the
4344 instruction register, such as 4 or 5 bits.
4345 @end itemize
4346
4347 A TAP may also provide optional @var{configparams}:
4348
4349 @itemize @bullet
4350 @item @code{-disable} (or @code{-enable})
4351 @*Use the @code{-disable} parameter to flag a TAP which is not
4352 linked into the scan chain after a reset using either TRST
4353 or the JTAG state machine's @sc{reset} state.
4354 You may use @code{-enable} to highlight the default state
4355 (the TAP is linked in).
4356 @xref{enablinganddisablingtaps,,Enabling and Disabling TAPs}.
4357 @item @code{-expected-id} @var{NUMBER}
4358 @*A non-zero @var{number} represents a 32-bit IDCODE
4359 which you expect to find when the scan chain is examined.
4360 These codes are not required by all JTAG devices.
4361 @emph{Repeat the option} as many times as required if more than one
4362 ID code could appear (for example, multiple versions).
4363 Specify @var{number} as zero to suppress warnings about IDCODE
4364 values that were found but not included in the list.
4365
4366 Provide this value if at all possible, since it lets OpenOCD
4367 tell when the scan chain it sees isn't right. These values
4368 are provided in vendors' chip documentation, usually a technical
4369 reference manual. Sometimes you may need to probe the JTAG
4370 hardware to find these values.
4371 @xref{autoprobing,,Autoprobing}.
4372 @item @code{-ignore-version}
4373 @*Specify this to ignore the JTAG version field in the @code{-expected-id}
4374 option. When vendors put out multiple versions of a chip, or use the same
4375 JTAG-level ID for several largely-compatible chips, it may be more practical
4376 to ignore the version field than to update config files to handle all of
4377 the various chip IDs. The version field is defined as bit 28-31 of the IDCODE.

4413 (It is not a direct analogue of the @code{cget}/@code{configure}
4414 mechanism for debugger targets.)
4415 See the next section for information about the available events.
4416
4417 The @code{configure} subcommand assigns an event handler,
4418 a TCL string which is evaluated when the event is triggered.
4419 The @code{cget} subcommand returns that handler.

4421
4422 @section TAP Events
4423 @cindex events
4424 @cindex TAP events
4425
4426 OpenOCD includes two event mechanisms.
4427 The one presented here applies to all JTAG TAPs.
4428 The other applies to debugger targets,
4429 which are associated with certain TAPs.
4430
4431 The TAP events currently defined are:
4432
4433 @itemize @bullet
4434 @item @b{post-reset}
4435 @* The TAP has just completed a JTAG reset.
4436 The tap may still be in the JTAG @sc{reset} state.
4437 Handlers for these events might perform initialization sequences
4438 such as issuing TCK cycles, TMS sequences to ensure
4439 exit from the ARM SWD mode, and more.
4440
4441 Because the scan chain has not yet been verified, handlers for these events
4442 @emph{should not issue commands which scan the JTAG IR or DR registers}
4443 of any particular target.
4444 @b{NOTE:} As this is written (September 2009), nothing prevents such access.
4445 @item @b{setup}
4446 @* The scan chain has been reset and verified.
4447 This handler may enable TAPs as needed.
4448 @item @b{tap-disable}
4449 @* The TAP needs to be disabled. This handler should
4450 implement @command{jtag tapdisable}
4451 by issuing the relevant JTAG commands.
4452 @item @b{tap-enable}
4453 @* The TAP needs to be enabled. This handler should
4454 implement @command{jtag tapenable}
4455 by issuing the relevant JTAG commands.
4456 @end itemize
4457
4458 If you need some action after each JTAG reset which isn't actually
4459 specific to any TAP (since you can't yet trust the scan chain's
4460 contents to be accurate), you might:
4461
4462 @example
4463 jtag configure CHIP.jrc -event post-reset @{
4464 echo "JTAG Reset done"
4465 ... non-scan jtag operations to be done after reset
4466 @}
4467 @end example
4468
4469
4470 @anchor{enablinganddisablingtaps}
4471 @section Enabling and Disabling TAPs
4472 @cindex JTAG Route Controller
4473 @cindex jrc
4474
4475 In some systems, a @dfn{JTAG Route Controller} (JRC)
4476 is used to enable and/or disable specific JTAG TAPs.
4477 Many ARM-based chips from Texas Instruments include
4478 an ``ICEPick'' module, which is a JRC.
4479 Such chips include DaVinci and OMAP3 processors.
4480
4481 A given TAP may not be visible until the JRC has been
4482 told to link it into the scan chain; and if the JRC
4483 has been told to unlink that TAP, it will no longer
4484 be visible.
4485 Such routers address problems that JTAG ``bypass mode''
4486 ignores, such as:
4487
4488 @itemize
4489 @item The scan chain can only go as fast as its slowest TAP.
4490 @item Having many TAPs slows instruction scans, since all
4491 TAPs receive new instructions.
4492 @item TAPs in the scan chain must be powered up, which wastes
4493 power and prevents debugging some power management mechanisms.
4494 @end itemize
4495
4496 The IEEE 1149.1 JTAG standard has no concept of a ``disabled'' tap,
4497 as implied by the existence of JTAG routers.
4498 However, the upcoming IEEE 1149.7 framework (layered on top of JTAG)
4499 does include a kind of JTAG router functionality.
4500
4501 @c (a) currently the event handlers don't seem to be able to
4502 @c fail in a way that could lead to no-change-of-state.
4503
4504 In OpenOCD, tap enabling/disabling is invoked by the Tcl commands
4505 shown below, and is implemented using TAP event handlers.
4506 So for example, when defining a TAP for a CPU connected to
4507 a JTAG router, your @file{target.cfg} file
4508 should define TAP event handlers using
4509 code that looks something like this:
4510
4511 @example
4512 jtag configure CHIP.cpu -event tap-enable @{
4513 ... jtag operations using CHIP.jrc
4514 @}
4515 jtag configure CHIP.cpu -event tap-disable @{
4516 ... jtag operations using CHIP.jrc
4517 @}
4518 @end example
4519
4520 Then you might want that CPU's TAP enabled almost all the time:
4521
4522 @example
4523 jtag configure $CHIP.jrc -event setup "jtag tapenable $CHIP.cpu"
4524 @end example
4525
4526 Note how that particular setup event handler declaration
4527 uses quotes to evaluate @code{$CHIP} when the event is configured.
4528 Using brackets @{ @} would cause it to be evaluated later,
4529 at runtime, when it might have a different value.
4530
4531 @deffn {Command} {jtag tapdisable} dotted.name
4532 If necessary, disables the tap
4533 by sending it a @option{tap-disable} event.
4534 Returns the string "1" if the tap
4535 specified by @var{dotted.name} is enabled,
4536 and "0" if it is disabled.
4537 @end deffn
4538
4539 @deffn {Command} {jtag tapenable} dotted.name
4540 If necessary, enables the tap
4541 by sending it a @option{tap-enable} event.
4542 Returns the string "1" if the tap
4543 specified by @var{dotted.name} is enabled,
4544 and "0" if it is disabled.
4545 @end deffn
4546
4547 @deffn {Command} {jtag tapisenabled} dotted.name
4548 Returns the string "1" if the tap
4549 specified by @var{dotted.name} is enabled,
4550 and "0" if it is disabled.
4551
4552 @quotation Note
4553 Humans will find the @command{scan_chain} command more helpful
4554 for querying the state of the JTAG taps.

4563 TAP configuration is the first thing that needs to be done
4564 after interface and reset configuration. Sometimes it's
4565 hard finding out what TAPs exist, or how they are identified.
4566 Vendor documentation is not always easy to find and use.
4567
4568 To help you get past such problems, OpenOCD has a limited
4569 @emph{autoprobing} ability to look at the scan chain, doing
4570 a @dfn{blind interrogation} and then reporting the TAPs it finds.
4571 To use this mechanism, start the OpenOCD server with only data
4572 that configures your JTAG interface, and arranges to come up
4573 with a slow clock (many devices don't support fast JTAG clocks
4574 right when they come out of reset).
4575
4576 For example, your @file{openocd.cfg} file might have:
4577
4578 @example
4579 source [find interface/olimex-arm-usb-tiny-h.cfg]
4580 reset_config trst_and_srst
4581 jtag_rclk 8
4582 @end example
4583
4584 When you start the server without any TAPs configured, it will
4585 attempt to autoconfigure the TAPs. There are two parts to this:
4586
4587 @enumerate
4588 @item @emph{TAP discovery} ...
4589 After a JTAG reset (sometimes a system reset may be needed too),
4590 each TAP's data registers will hold the contents of either the
4591 IDCODE or BYPASS register.
4592 If JTAG communication is working, OpenOCD will see each TAP,
4593 and report what @option{-expected-id} to use with it.
4594 @item @emph{IR Length discovery} ...
4595 Unfortunately JTAG does not provide a reliable way to find out
4596 the value of the @option{-irlen} parameter to use with a TAP
4597 that is discovered.
4598 If OpenOCD can discover the length of a TAP's instruction
4599 register, it will report it.
4600 Otherwise you may need to consult vendor documentation, such
4601 as chip data sheets or BSDL files.
4602 @end enumerate
4603
4604 In many cases your board will have a simple scan chain with just
4605 a single device. Here's what OpenOCD reported with one board
4606 that's a bit more complex:
4607
4608 @example
4609 clock speed 8 kHz
4610 There are no enabled taps. AUTO PROBING MIGHT NOT WORK!!
4611 AUTO auto0.tap - use "jtag newtap auto0 tap -expected-id 0x2b900f0f ..."
4612 AUTO auto1.tap - use "jtag newtap auto1 tap -expected-id 0x07926001 ..."
4613 AUTO auto2.tap - use "jtag newtap auto2 tap -expected-id 0x0b73b02f ..."
4614 AUTO auto0.tap - use "... -irlen 4"
4615 AUTO auto1.tap - use "... -irlen 4"
4616 AUTO auto2.tap - use "... -irlen 6"
4617 no gdb ports allocated as no target has been specified
4618 @end example
4619
4620 Given that information, you should be able to either find some existing
4621 config files to use, or create your own. If you create your own, you
4622 would configure from the bottom up: first a @file{target.cfg} file
4623 with these TAPs, any targets associated with them, and any on-chip
4624 resources; then a @file{board.cfg} with off-chip resources, clocking,
4625 and so forth.

4628 @section DAP declaration (ARMv6-M, ARMv7 and ARMv8 targets)
4629 @cindex DAP declaration
4630
4631 Since OpenOCD version 0.11.0, the Debug Access Port (DAP) is
4632 no longer implicitly created together with the target. It must be
4633 explicitly declared using the @command{dap create} command. For all ARMv6-M, ARMv7
4634 and ARMv8 targets, the option "@option{-dap} @var{dap_name}" has to be used
4635 instead of "@option{-chain-position} @var{dotted.name}" when the target is created.
4636
4637 The @command{dap} command group supports the following sub-commands:
4638
4639 @anchor{dap_create}
4640 @deffn {Command} {dap create} dap_name @option{-chain-position} dotted.name configparams...
4641 Declare a DAP instance named @var{dap_name} linked to the JTAG tap
4642 @var{dotted.name}. This also creates a new command (@command{dap_name})
4643 which is used for various purposes including additional configuration.
4644 There can only be one DAP for each JTAG tap in the system.
4645
4646 A DAP may also provide optional @var{configparams}:

4730 @end deffn
4731
4732 @deffn {Command} {$dap_name apcsw} [value [mask]]
4733 Displays or changes CSW bit pattern for MEM-AP transfers.
4734
4735 At the begin of each memory access the CSW pattern is extended (bitwise or-ed)
4736 by @dfn{Size} and @dfn{AddrInc} bit-fields according to transfer requirements
4737 and the result is written to the real CSW register. All bits except dynamically
4738 updated fields @dfn{Size} and @dfn{AddrInc} can be changed by changing
4739 the CSW pattern. Refer to ARM ADI v5 manual chapter 7.6.4 and appendix A
4740 for details.
4741
4742 Use @var{value} only syntax if you want to set the new CSW pattern as a whole.
4743 The example sets HPROT1 bit (required by Cortex-M) and clears the rest of
4744 the pattern:
4745 @example
4746 kx.dap apcsw 0x2000000
4747 @end example
4748
4749 If @var{mask} is also used, the CSW pattern is changed only on bit positions
4750 where the mask bit is 1. The following example sets HPROT3 (cacheable)
4751 and leaves the rest of the pattern intact. It configures memory access through
4752 DCache on Cortex-M7.
4753 @example
4754 set CSW_HPROT3_CACHEABLE [expr @{1 << 27@}]
4755 samv.dap apcsw $CSW_HPROT3_CACHEABLE $CSW_HPROT3_CACHEABLE
4756 @end example
4757
4758 Another example clears SPROT bit and leaves the rest of pattern intact:
4759 @example
4760 set CSW_SPROT [expr @{1 << 30@}]
4761 samv.dap apcsw 0 $CSW_SPROT
4762 @end example
4763
4764 @emph{Note:} If you want to check the real value of CSW, not CSW pattern, use
4765 @code{xxx.dap apreg 0}. @xref{DAP subcommand apreg,,}.
4766
4767 @emph{Warning:} Some of the CSW bits are vital for working memory transfer.
4768 If you set a wrong CSW pattern and MEM-AP stopped working, use the following

4782 @chapter CPU Configuration
4783 @cindex GDB target
4784
4785 This chapter discusses how to set up GDB debug targets for CPUs.
4786 You can also access these targets without GDB
4787 (@pxref{Architecture and Core Commands},
4788 and @ref{targetstatehandling,,Target State handling}) and
4789 through various kinds of NAND and NOR flash commands.
4790 If you have multiple CPUs you can have multiple such targets.
4791
4792 We'll start by looking at how to examine the targets you have,
4793 then look at how to add one more target and how to configure it.
4794
4795 @section Target List
4796 @cindex target, current
4797 @cindex target, list
4798
4799 All targets that have been set up are part of a list,
4800 where each member has a name.
4801 That name should normally be the same as the TAP name.
4802 You can display the list with the @command{targets}
4803 (plural!) command.
4804 This display often has only one CPU; here's what it might
4805 look like with more than one:
4806 @verbatim
4807 TargetName Type Endian TapName State
4808 -- ------------------ ---------- ------ ------------------ ------------
4809 0* at91rm9200.cpu arm920t little at91rm9200.cpu running
4810 1 MyTarget cortex_m little mychip.foo tap-disabled
4811 @end verbatim
4812
4813 One member of that list is the @dfn{current target}, which
4814 is implicitly referenced by many commands.
4815 It's the one marked with a @code{*} near the target name.
4816 In particular, memory addresses often refer to the address
4817 space seen by that current target.
4818 Commands like @command{mdw} (memory display words)
4819 and @command{flash erase_address} (erase NOR flash blocks)
4820 are examples; and there are many more.
4821
4822 Several commands let you examine the list of targets:
4823
4824 @deffn {Command} {target current}
4825 Returns the name of the current target.
4826 @end deffn
4827
4828 @deffn {Command} {target names}
4829 Lists the names of all current targets in the list.
4830 @example
4831 foreach t [target names] @{
4832 puts [format "Target: %s\n" $t]
4833 @}
4834 @end example
4835 @end deffn
4836
4837 @c yep, "target list" would have been better.
4838 @c plus maybe "target setdefault".
4839
4840 @deffn {Command} {targets} [name]
4841 @emph{Note: the name of this command is plural. Other target
4842 command names are singular.}
4843
4844 With no parameter, this command displays a table of all known
4845 targets in a user friendly form.
4846
4847 With a parameter, this command sets the current target to
4848 the given target with the given @var{name}; this is
4849 only relevant on boards which have more than one target.
4850 @end deffn
4851
4852 @section Target CPU Types
4853 @cindex target type
4854 @cindex CPU type
4855
4856 Each target has a @dfn{CPU type}, as shown in the output of
4857 the @command{targets} command. You need to specify that type
4858 when calling @command{target create}.
4859 The CPU type indicates more than just the instruction set.
4860 It also indicates how that instruction set is implemented,
4861 what kind of debug support it integrates,
4862 whether it has an MMU (and if so, what kind),
4863 what core-specific commands may be available
4864 (@pxref{Architecture and Core Commands}),
4865 and more.
4866
4867 It's easy to see what target types are supported,
4868 since there's a command to list them.
4869
4870 @anchor{targettypes}
4871 @deffn {Command} {target types}
4872 Lists all supported target types.
4873 At this writing, the supported CPU types are:
4874

4950 @anchor{targetconfiguration}
4951 @section Target Configuration
4952
4953 Before creating a ``target'', you must have added its TAP to the scan chain.
4954 When you've added that TAP, you will have a @code{dotted.name}
4955 which is used to set up the CPU support.
4956 The chip-specific configuration file will normally configure its CPU(s)
4957 right after it adds all of the chip's TAPs to the scan chain.
4958
4959 Although you can set up a target in one step, it's often clearer if you
4960 use shorter commands and do it in two steps: create it, then configure
4961 optional parts.
4962 All operations on the target after it's created will use a new
4963 command, created as part of target creation.
4964
4965 The two main things to configure after target creation are
4966 a work area, which usually has target-specific defaults even
4967 if the board setup code overrides them later;
4968 and event handlers (@pxref{targetevents,,Target Events}), which tend
4969 to be much more board-specific.
4970 The key steps you use might look something like this
4971
4972 @example
4973 dap create mychip.dap -chain-position mychip.cpu
4974 target create MyTarget cortex_m -dap mychip.dap
4975 MyTarget configure -work-area-phys 0x08000 -work-area-size 8096
4976 MyTarget configure -event reset-deassert-pre @{ jtag_rclk 5 @}
4977 MyTarget configure -event reset-init @{ myboard_reinit @}
4978 @end example
4979
4980 You should specify a working area if you can; typically it uses some
4981 on-chip SRAM.
4982 Such a working area can speed up many things, including bulk
4983 writes to target memory;
4984 flash operations like checking to see if memory needs to be erased;
4985 GDB memory checksumming;
4986 and more.
4987
4988 @quotation Warning
4989 On more complex chips, the work area can become
4990 inaccessible when application code
4991 (such as an operating system)
4992 enables or disables the MMU.
4993 For example, the particular MMU context used to access the virtual
4994 address will probably matter ... and that context might not have
4995 easy access to other addresses needed.
4996 At this writing, OpenOCD doesn't have much MMU intelligence.
4997 @end quotation
4998
4999 It's often very useful to define a @code{reset-init} event handler.
5000 For systems that are normally used with a boot loader,
5001 common tasks include updating clocks and initializing memory
5002 controllers.
5003 That may be needed to let you write the boot loader into flash,
5004 in order to ``de-brick'' your board; or to load programs into
5005 external DDR memory without having run the boot loader.

5122 @section Other $target_name Commands
5123 @cindex object command
5124
5125 The Tcl/Tk language has the concept of object commands,
5126 and OpenOCD adopts that same model for targets.
5127
5128 A good Tk example is a on screen button.
5129 Once a button is created a button
5130 has a name (a path in Tk terms) and that name is useable as a first
5131 class command. For example in Tk, one can create a button and later
5132 configure it like this:
5133
5134 @example
5135 # Create
5136 button .foobar -background red -command @{ foo @}
5137 # Modify
5138 .foobar configure -foreground blue
5139 # Query
5140 set x [.foobar cget -background]
5141 # Report
5142 puts [format "The button is %s" $x]
5143 @end example
5144
5145 In OpenOCD's terms, the ``target'' is an object just like a Tcl/Tk
5146 button, and its object commands are invoked the same way.
5147
5148 @example
5149 str912.cpu mww 0x1234 0x42
5150 omap3530.cpu mww 0x5555 123
5151 @end example
5152
5153 The commands supported by OpenOCD target objects are:
5154
5155 @deffn {Command} {$target_name arp_examine} @option{allow-defer}
5156 @deffnx {Command} {$target_name arp_halt}
5157 @deffnx {Command} {$target_name arp_poll}
5158 @deffnx {Command} {$target_name arp_reset}
5159 @deffnx {Command} {$target_name arp_waitstate}
5160 Internal OpenOCD scripts (most notably @file{startup.tcl})
5161 use these to deal with specific reset cases.
5162 They are not otherwise documented here.

5170 @end itemize
5171
5172 For example, the following command sets the value 0 to the program counter (pc)
5173 register and 0x1000 to the stack pointer (sp) register:
5174
5175 @example

5178 @end deffn
5179
5180 @deffn {Command} {$target_name get_reg} [-force] list
5181 Get register values from the target and return them as Tcl dictionary with pairs

5324 @cindex target events
5325 @cindex events
5326 At various times, certain things can happen, or you want them to happen.
5327 For example:
5328 @itemize @bullet
5329 @item What should happen when GDB connects? Should your target reset?
5330 @item When GDB tries to flash the target, do you need to enable the flash via a special command?
5331 @item Is using SRST appropriate (and possible) on your system?
5332 Or instead of that, do you need to issue JTAG commands to trigger reset?
5333 SRST usually resets everything on the scan chain, which can be inappropriate.
5334 @item During reset, do you need to write to certain memory locations
5335 to set up system clocks or
5336 to reconfigure the SDRAM?
5337 How about configuring the watchdog timer, or other peripherals,
5338 to stop running while you hold the core stopped for debugging?
5339 @end itemize
5340
5341 All of the above items can be addressed by target event handlers.
5342 These are set up by @command{$target_name configure -event} or
5343 @command{target create ... -event}.
5344
5345 The programmer's model matches the @code{-command} option used in Tcl/Tk
5346 buttons and events. The two examples below act the same, but one creates
5347 and invokes a small procedure while the other inlines it.
5348
5349 @example
5350 proc my_init_proc @{ @} @{
5351 echo "Disabling watchdog..."
5352 mww 0xfffffd44 0x00008000
5353 @}
5354 mychip.cpu configure -event reset-init my_init_proc
5355 mychip.cpu configure -event reset-init @{
5356 echo "Disabling watchdog..."
5357 mww 0xfffffd44 0x00008000
5358 @}
5359 @end example
5360
5361 The following target events are defined:
5362
5363 @itemize @bullet
5364 @item @b{debug-halted}
5365 @* The target has halted for debug reasons (i.e.: breakpoint)
5366 @item @b{debug-resumed}
5367 @* The target has resumed (i.e.: GDB said run)
5368 @item @b{early-halted}
5369 @* Occurs early in the halt process
5370 @item @b{examine-start}
5371 @* Before target examine is called.
5372 @item @b{examine-end}
5373 @* After target examine is called with no errors.
5374 @item @b{examine-fail}
5375 @* After target examine fails.
5376 @item @b{gdb-attach}
5377 @* When GDB connects. Issued before any GDB communication with the target
5378 starts. GDB expects the target is halted during attachment.
5379 @xref{gdbmeminspect,,GDB as a non-intrusive memory inspector}, how to
5380 connect GDB to running target.
5381 The event can be also used to set up the target so it is possible to probe flash.
5382 Probing flash is necessary during GDB connect if you want to use
5383 @pxref{programmingusinggdb,,programming using GDB}.
5384 Another use of the flash memory map is for GDB to automatically choose
5385 hardware or software breakpoints depending on whether the breakpoint
5386 is in RAM or read only memory.
5387 Default is @code{halt}
5388 @item @b{gdb-detach}
5389 @* When GDB disconnects
5390 @item @b{gdb-end}
5391 @* When the target has halted and GDB is not doing anything (see early halt)
5392 @item @b{gdb-flash-erase-start}
5393 @* Before the GDB flash process tries to erase the flash (default is
5394 @code{reset init})
5395 @item @b{gdb-flash-erase-end}
5396 @* After the GDB flash process has finished erasing the flash
5397 @item @b{gdb-flash-write-start}
5398 @* Before GDB writes to the flash
5399 @item @b{gdb-flash-write-end}
5400 @* After GDB writes to the flash (default is @code{reset halt})
5401 @item @b{gdb-start}
5402 @* Before the target steps, GDB is trying to start/resume the target
5403 @item @b{halted}
5404 @* The target has halted
5405 @item @b{reset-assert-pre}
5406 @* Issued as part of @command{reset} processing
5407 after @command{reset-start} was triggered
5408 but before either SRST alone is asserted on the scan chain,
5409 or @code{reset-assert} is triggered.
5410 @item @b{reset-assert}
5411 @* Issued as part of @command{reset} processing
5412 after @command{reset-assert-pre} was triggered.
5413 When such a handler is present, cores which support this event will use
5414 it instead of asserting SRST.
5415 This support is essential for debugging with JTAG interfaces which
5416 don't include an SRST line (JTAG doesn't require SRST), and for
5417 selective reset on scan chains that have multiple targets.
5418 @item @b{reset-assert-post}
5419 @* Issued as part of @command{reset} processing
5420 after @code{reset-assert} has been triggered.
5421 or the target asserted SRST on the entire scan chain.
5422 @item @b{reset-deassert-pre}
5423 @* Issued as part of @command{reset} processing
5424 after @code{reset-assert-post} has been triggered.
5425 @item @b{reset-deassert-post}
5426 @* Issued as part of @command{reset} processing
5427 after @code{reset-deassert-pre} has been triggered
5428 and (if the target is using it) after SRST has been
5429 released on the scan chain.
5430 @item @b{reset-end}
5431 @* Issued as the final step in @command{reset} processing.
5432 @item @b{reset-init}
5433 @* Used by @b{reset init} command for board-specific initialization.
5434 This event fires after @emph{reset-deassert-post}.
5435
5436 This is where you would configure PLLs and clocking, set up DRAM so
5437 you can download programs that don't fit in on-chip SRAM, set up pin
5438 multiplexing, and so on.
5439 (You may be able to switch to a fast JTAG clock rate here, after
5440 the target clocks are fully set up.)
5441 @item @b{reset-start}
5442 @* Issued as the first step in @command{reset} processing
5443 before @command{reset-assert-pre} is called.
5444
5445 This is the most robust place to use @command{jtag_rclk}
5446 or @command{adapter speed} to switch to a low JTAG clock rate,
5447 when reset disables PLLs needed to use a fast clock.
5448 @item @b{resume-start}
5449 @* Before any target is resumed
5450 @item @b{resume-end}
5451 @* After all targets have resumed
5452 @item @b{resumed}

5477
5478 @quotation Note
5479 OpenOCD events are not supposed to be preempt by another event, but this
5480 is not enforced in current code. Only the target event @b{resumed} is
5481 executed with polling disabled; this avoids polling to trigger the event
5482 @b{halted}, reversing the logical order of execution of their handlers.
5483 Future versions of OpenOCD will prevent the event preemption and will
5484 disable the schedule of polling during the event execution. Do not rely
5485 on polling in any event handler; this means, don't expect the status of
5486 a core to change during the execution of the handler. The event handler
5487 will have to enable polling or use @command{$target_name arp_poll} to
5488 check if the core has changed status.

5491 @node Flash Commands
5492 @chapter Flash Commands
5493
5494 OpenOCD has different commands for NOR and NAND flash;
5495 the ``flash'' command works with NOR flash, while
5496 the ``nand'' command works with NAND flash.
5497 This partially reflects different hardware technologies:
5498 NOR flash usually supports direct CPU instruction and data bus access,
5499 while data from a NAND flash must be copied to memory before it can be
5500 used. (SPI flash must also be copied to memory before use.)
5501 However, the documentation also uses ``flash'' as a generic term;
5502 for example, ``Put flash configuration in board-specific files''.
5503
5504 Flash Steps:
5505 @enumerate
5506 @item Configure via the command @command{flash bank}
5507 @* Do this in a board-specific configuration file,
5508 passing parameters as needed by the driver.
5509 @item Operate on the flash via @command{flash subcommand}
5510 @* Often commands to manipulate the flash are typed by a human, or run
5511 via a script in some automated way. Common tasks include writing a
5512 boot loader, operating system, or other data.
5513 @item GDB Flashing
5514 @* Flashing via GDB requires the flash be configured via ``flash
5515 bank'', and the GDB flash features be enabled.
5516 @xref{gdbconfiguration,,GDB Configuration}.
5517 @end enumerate
5518
5519 Many CPUs have the ability to ``boot'' from the first flash bank.
5520 This means that misprogramming that bank can ``brick'' a system,
5521 so that it can't boot.
5522 JTAG tools, like OpenOCD, are often then used to ``de-brick'' the
5523 board by (re)installing working boot firmware.

5529 @deffn {Config Command} {flash bank} name driver base size chip_width bus_width target [driver_options]
5530 Configures a flash bank which provides persistent storage
5531 for addresses from @math{base} to @math{base + size - 1}.
5532 These banks will often be visible to GDB through the target's memory map.
5533 In some cases, configuring a flash bank will activate extra commands;
5534 see the driver-specific documentation.

5606 @anchor{flashprogrammingcommands}
5607
5608 One feature distinguishing NOR flash from NAND or serial flash technologies
5609 is that for read access, it acts exactly like any other addressable memory.
5610 This means you can use normal memory read commands like @command{mdw} or
5611 @command{dump_image} with it, with no special @command{flash} subcommands.
5612 @xref{memoryaccess,,Memory access}, and @ref{imageaccess,,Image access}.
5613
5614 Write access works differently. Flash memory normally needs to be erased
5615 before it's written. Erasing a sector turns all of its bits to ones, and
5616 writing can turn ones into zeroes. This is why there are special commands
5617 for interactive erasing and writing, and why GDB needs to know which parts
5618 of the address space hold NOR flash memory.
5619
5620 @quotation Note
5621 Most of these erase and write commands leverage the fact that NOR flash
5622 chips consume target address space. They implicitly refer to the current
5623 JTAG target, and map from an address in that target's address space
5624 back to a flash bank.
5625 @comment In May 2009, those mappings may fail if any bank associated
5626 @comment with that target doesn't successfully autoprobe ... bug worth fixing?
5627 A few commands use abstract addressing based on bank and sector numbers,
5628 and don't depend on searching the current target and its address space.
5629 Avoid confusing the two command models.
5630 @end quotation
5631
5632 Some flash chips implement software protection against accidental writes,
5633 since such buggy writes could in some cases ``brick'' a system.
5634 For such systems, erasing and writing may require sector protection to be
5635 disabled first.
5636 Examples include CFI flash such as ``Intel Advanced Bootblock flash'',
5637 and AT91SAM7 on-chip flash.

5651 Unless @option{pad} is specified, @math{address} must begin a
5652 flash sector, and @math{address + length - 1} must end a sector.
5653 Specifying @option{pad} erases extra data at the beginning and/or
5654 end of the specified region, as needed to erase only full sectors.
5655 The flash bank to use is inferred from the @var{address}, and
5656 the specified length must stay within that bank.
5657 As a special case, when @var{length} is zero and @var{address} is
5658 the start of the bank, the whole flash is erased.

5717 Only loadable sections from the image are written.
5718 A relocation @var{offset} may be specified, in which case it is added
5719 to the base address for each section in the image.
5720 The file [@var{type}] can be specified
5721 explicitly as @option{bin} (binary), @option{ihex} (Intel hex),
5722 @option{elf} (ELF file), @option{s19} (Motorola s19).
5723 @option{mem}, or @option{builder}.
5724 The relevant flash sectors will be erased prior to programming
5725 if the @option{erase} parameter is given. If @option{unlock} is

5727 program. The flash bank to use is inferred from the address of
5728 each image section.

5730 @quotation Warning
5731 Be careful using the @option{erase} flag when the flash is holding
5732 data you want to preserve.
5733 Portions of the flash outside those described in the image's
5734 sections might be erased with no notice.
5735 @itemize
5736 @item
5737 When a section of the image being written does not fill out all the
5738 sectors it uses, the unwritten parts of those sectors are necessarily
5739 also erased, because sectors can't be partially erased.
5740 @item
5741 Data stored in sector "holes" between image sections are also affected.
5742 For example, "@command{flash write_image erase ...}" of an image with
5743 one byte at the beginning of a flash bank and one byte at the end
5744 erases the entire bank -- not just the two sectors being written.

5755 In contrast to the 'verify_image' command, for banks with specific

5814 @deffn {Flash Driver} {virtual}
5815 This is a special driver that maps a previously defined bank to another

5837
5838 @deffn {Flash Driver} {cfi}
5839 @cindex Common Flash Interface
5840 @cindex CFI
5841 The ``Common Flash Interface'' (CFI) is the main standard for
5842 external NOR flash chips, each of which connects to a
5843 specific external chip select on the CPU.
5844 Frequently the first such chip is used to boot the system.
5845 Your board's @code{reset-init} handler might need to
5846 configure additional chip selects using other commands (like: @command{mww} to
5847 configure a bus and its timings), or
5848 perhaps configure a GPIO pin that controls the ``write protect'' pin
5849 on the flash chip.
5850 The CFI driver can use a target-specific working area to significantly
5851 speed up operation.
5852
5853 The CFI driver can accept the following optional parameters, in any order:
5854
5855 @itemize
5856 @item @var{jedec_probe} ... is used to detect certain non-CFI flash ROMs,
5857 like AM29LV010 and similar types.
5858 @item @var{x16_as_x8} ... when a 16-bit flash is hooked up to an 8-bit bus.
5859 @item @var{bus_swap} ... when data bytes in a 16-bit flash needs to be swapped.
5860 @item @var{data_swap} ... when data bytes in a 16-bit flash needs to be
5861 swapped when writing data values (i.e. not CFI commands).
5862 @end itemize
5863
5864 To configure two adjacent banks of 16 MBytes each, both sixteen bits (two bytes)
5865 wide on a sixteen bit bus:
5866
5867 @example
5868 flash bank $_FLASHNAME cfi 0x00000000 0x01000000 2 2 $_TARGETNAME
5869 flash bank $_FLASHNAME cfi 0x01000000 0x01000000 2 2 $_TARGETNAME
5870 @end example
5871
5872 To configure one bank of 32 MBytes
5873 built from two sixteen bit (two byte) wide parts wired in parallel
5874 to create a thirty-two bit (four byte) bus with doubled throughput:
5875
5876 @example
5877 flash bank $_FLASHNAME cfi 0x00000000 0x02000000 2 4 $_TARGETNAME

5888 Several FPGAs and CPLDs can retrieve their configuration (bitstream) from a
5889 SPI flash connected to them. To access this flash from the host, the device
5890 is first programmed with a special proxy bitstream that
5891 exposes the SPI flash on the device's JTAG interface. The flash can then be
5892 accessed through JTAG.
5893
5894 Since signaling between JTAG and SPI is compatible, all that is required for
5895 a proxy bitstream is to connect TDI-MOSI, TDO-MISO, TCK-CLK and activate
5896 the flash chip select when the JTAG state machine is in SHIFT-DR. Such
5897 a bitstream for several Xilinx FPGAs can be found in
5898 @file{contrib/loaders/flash/fpga/xilinx_bscan_spi.py}. It requires
5899 @uref{https://github.com/m-labs/migen, migen} and a Xilinx toolchain to build.
5900
5901 This flash bank driver requires a target on a JTAG tap and will access that
5902 tap directly. Since no support from the target is needed, the target can be a
5903 "testee" dummy. Since the target does not expose the flash memory
5904 mapping, target commands that would otherwise be expected to access the flash
5905 will not work. These include all @command{*_image} and
5906 @command{$target_name m*} commands as well as @command{program}. Equivalent
5907 functionality is available through the @command{flash write_bank},
5908 @command{flash read_bank}, and @command{flash verify_bank} commands.
5909
5910 According to device size, 1- to 4-byte addresses are sent. However, some
5911 flash chips additionally have to be switched to 4-byte addresses by an extra
5912 command, see below.
5913

6004
6005 The lpcspifi driver initializes this interface and provides

6027 ``Serial Memory Interface'' (SMI) controller able to drive external
6028 SPI flash devices.
6029 Depending on specific device and board configuration, up to 4 external
6030 flash devices can be connected.
6031
6032 SMI makes the flash content directly accessible in the CPU address
6033 space; each external device is mapped in a memory bank.
6034 CPU can directly read data, execute code and boot from SMI banks.
6035 Normal OpenOCD commands like @command{mdw} can be used to display
6036 the flash content.
6037
6038 The setup command only requires the @var{base} parameter in order
6039 to identify the memory bank.

6052 @cindex OctoSPI
6053 @cindex stmqspi
6054 Some devices from STMicroelectronics include a proprietary ``QuadSPI Interface''
6055 (e.g. STM32F4, STM32F7, STM32L4) or ``OctoSPI Interface'' (e.g. STM32L4+)
6056 controller able to drive one or even two (dual mode) external SPI flash devices.
6057 The OctoSPI is a superset of QuadSPI, its presence is detected automatically.
6058 Currently only the regular command mode is supported, whereas the HyperFlash
6059 mode is not.
6060
6061 QuadSPI/OctoSPI makes the flash contents directly accessible in the CPU address
6062 space; in case of dual mode both devices must be of the same type and are
6063 mapped in the same memory bank (even and odd addresses interleaved).
6064 CPU can directly read data, execute code (but not boot) from QuadSPI bank.
6065
6066 The 'flash bank' command only requires the @var{base} parameter and the extra
6067 parameter @var{io_base} in order to identify the memory bank. Both are fixed
6068 by hardware, see datasheet or RM. All other parameters are ignored.
6069
6070 The controller must be initialized after each reset and properly configured
6071 for memory-mapped read operation for the particular flash chip(s), for the full
6072 list of available register settings cf. the controller's RM. This setup is quite
6073 board specific (that's why booting from this memory is not possible). The
6074 flash driver infers all parameters from current controller register values when
6075 'flash probe @var{bank_id}' is executed.
6076
6077 Normal OpenOCD commands like @command{mdw} can be used to display the flash content,
6078 but only after proper controller initialization as described above. However,
6079 due to a silicon bug in some devices, attempting to access the very last word
6080 should be avoided.
6081
6082 It is possible to use two (even different) flash chips alternatingly, if individual
6083 bank chip selects are available. For some package variants, this is not the case
6084 due to limited pin count. To switch from one to another, adjust FSEL bit accordingly
6085 and re-issue 'flash probe bank_id'. Note that the bank base address will @emph{not}
6086 change, so the address spaces of both devices will overlap. In dual flash mode
6087 both chips must be identical regarding size and most other properties.
6088
6089 Block or sector protection internal to the flash chip is not handled by this
6090 driver at all, but can be dealt with manually by the 'cmd' command, see below.
6091 The sector protection via 'flash protect' command etc. is completely internal to
6092 openocd, intended only to prevent accidental erase or overwrite and it does not
6093 persist across openocd invocations.
6094
6095 OpenOCD contains a hardcoded list of flash devices with their properties,
6096 these are auto-detected. If a device is not included in this list, SFDP discovery
6097 is attempted. If this fails or gives inappropriate results, manual setting is
6098 required (see 'set' command).
6099
6100 @example
6101 flash bank $_FLASHNAME stmqspi 0x90000000 0 0 0 \

6107 There are three specific commands
6108 @deffn {Command} {stmqspi mass_erase} bank_id
6109 Clears sector protections and performs a mass erase. Works only if there is no
6110 chip specific write protection engaged.

6113 @deffn {Command} {stmqspi set} bank_id name total_size page_size read_cmd fread_cmd pprg_cmd mass_erase_cmd sector_size sector_erase_cmd

6115 in bytes, @var{page_size} is write page size. @var{read_cmd}, @var{fread_cmd} and @var{pprg_cmd}
6116 are commands for reading and page programming. @var{fread_cmd} is used in DPI and QPI modes,
6117 @var{read_cmd} in normal SPI (single line) mode. @var{mass_erase_cmd}, @var{sector_size}
6118 and @var{sector_erase_cmd} are optional.
6119
6120 This command is required if chip id is not hardcoded yet and e.g. for EEPROMs or FRAMs
6121 which don't support an id command.
6122
6123 In dual mode parameters of both chips are set identically. The parameters refer to
6124 a single chip, so the whole bank gets twice the specified capacity etc.
6125 @end deffn
6126
6127 @deffn {Command} {stmqspi cmd} bank_id resp_num cmd_byte ...
6128 If @var{resp_num} is zero, sends command @var{cmd_byte} and following data
6129 bytes. In dual mode command byte is sent to @emph{both} chips but data bytes are
6130 sent @emph{alternatingly} to chip 1 and 2, first to flash 1, second to flash 2, etc.,
6131 i.e. the total number of bytes (including cmd_byte) must be odd.
6132
6133 If @var{resp_num} is not zero, cmd and at most four following data bytes are
6134 sent, in dual mode @emph{simultaneously} to both chips. Then @var{resp_num} bytes
6135 are read interleaved from both chips starting with chip 1. In this case
6136 @var{resp_num} must be even.
6137
6138 Note the hardware dictated subtle difference of those two cases in dual-flash mode.
6139
6140 To check basic communication settings, issue
6141 @example
6142 stmqspi cmd bank_id 0 0x04; stmqspi cmd bank_id 1 0x05
6143 stmqspi cmd bank_id 0 0x06; stmqspi cmd bank_id 1 0x05

6148 stmqspi cmd bank_id 0 0x06; stmqspi cmd bank_id 2 0x05
6149 @end example
6150 for dual flash mode. This should return the status register contents.
6151
6152 In 8-line mode, @var{cmd_byte} is sent twice - first time as given, second time
6153 complemented. Additionally, in 8-line mode only, some commands (e.g. Read Status)
6154 need a dummy address, e.g.

6180 Members of ATH79 SoC family from Atheros include a SPI interface with 3

6182 On reset a SPI flash connected to the first chip select (CS0) is made
6183 directly read-accessible in the CPU address space (up to 16MBytes)
6184 and is usually used to store the bootloader and operating system.
6185 Normal OpenOCD commands like @command{mdw} can be used to display
6186 the flash content while it is in memory-mapped mode (only the first
6187 4MBytes are accessible without additional configuration on reset).
6188
6189 The setup command only requires the @var{base} parameter in order
6190 to identify the memory bank. The actual value for the base address
6191 is not otherwise used by the driver. However the mapping is passed
6192 to gdb. Thus for the memory mapped flash (chipselect CS0) the base
6193 address should be the actual memory mapped base address. For unmapped
6194 chipselects (CS1 and CS2) care should be taken to use a base address
6195 that does not overlap with real memory regions.
6196 Additional information, like flash size, are detected automatically.
6197 An optional additional parameter sets the chipselect for the bank,
6198 with the default CS0.

6234 since all devices in this family have the same memory layout.

6244 All members of the Apollo microcontroller family from
6245 Ambiq Micro include internal flash and use ARM's Cortex-M4 core.
6246 The host connects over USB to an FTDI interface that communicates
6247 with the target using SWD.
6248
6249 The @var{ambiqmicro} driver reads the Chip Information Register detect
6250 the device class of the MCU.
6251 The Flash and SRAM sizes directly follow device class, and are used
6252 to set up the flash banks.
6253 If this fails, the driver will use default values set to the minimum
6254 sizes of an Apollo chip.
6255
6256 All Apollo chips have two flash banks of the same size.
6257 In all cases the first flash bank starts at location 0,
6258 and the second bank starts after the first.
6259
6260 @example
6261 # Flash bank 0
6262 flash bank $_FLASHNAME ambiqmicro 0 0x00040000 0 0 $_TARGETNAME
6263 # Flash bank 1 - same size as bank0, starts after bank 0.
6264 flash bank $_FLASHNAME ambiqmicro 0x00040000 0x00040000 0 0 \
6265 $_TARGETNAME
6266 @end example
6267
6268 Flash is programmed using custom entry points into the bootloader.
6269 This is the only way to program the flash as no flash control registers
6270 are available to the user.
6271
6272 The @var{ambiqmicro} driver adds some additional commands:
6273
6274 @deffn {Command} {ambiqmicro mass_erase} <bank>
6275 Erase entire bank.

6281 Program OTP is a one time operation to create write protected flash.
6282 The user writes sectors to SRAM starting at 0x10000010.
6283 Program OTP will write these sectors from SRAM to flash, and write protect
6284 the flash.

6868 The LPC29xx family is supported by the @var{lpc2900} driver.
6869 @end quotation

6873
6874 @itemize
6875 @item @var{variant} ... required, may be
6876 @option{lpc2000_v1} (older LPC21xx and LPC22xx)

6892 @quotation Note
6893 If you don't provide @option{calc_checksum} when you're writing the vector

6915 @deffn {Flash Driver} {lpc288x}
6916 The LPC2888 microcontroller from NXP needs slightly different flash
6917 support from its lpc2000 siblings.
6918 The @var{lpc288x} driver defines one mandatory parameter,
6919 the programming clock rate in Hz.
6920 LPC flashes don't require the chip and bus width to be specified.
6921
6922 @example
6923 flash bank $_FLASHNAME lpc288x 0 0 0 0 $_TARGETNAME 12000000
6924 @end example
6925 @end deffn
6926
6927 @deffn {Flash Driver} {lpc2900}
6928 This driver supports the LPC29xx ARM968E based microcontroller family
6929 from NXP.
6930
6931 The predefined parameters @var{base}, @var{size}, @var{chip_width} and
6932 @var{bus_width} of the @code{flash bank} command are ignored. Flash size and
6933 sector layout are auto-configured by the driver.
6934 The driver has one additional mandatory parameter: The CPU clock rate
6935 (in kHz) at the time the flash operations will take place. Most of the time this
6936 will not be the crystal frequency, but a higher PLL frequency. The
6937 @code{reset-init} event handler in the board script is usually the place where
6938 you start the PLL.
6939
6940 The driver rejects flashless devices (currently the LPC2930).
6941
6942 The EEPROM in LPC2900 devices is not mapped directly into the address space.
6943 It must be handled much more like NAND flash memory, and will therefore be
6944 handled by a separate @code{lpc2900_eeprom} driver (not yet available).
6945
6946 Sector protection in terms of the LPC2900 is handled transparently. Every time a
6947 sector needs to be erased or programmed, it is automatically unprotected.
6948 What is shown as protection status in the @code{flash info} command, is
6949 actually the LPC2900 @emph{sector security}. This is a mechanism to prevent a
6950 sector from ever being erased or programmed again. As this is an irreversible
6951 mechanism, it is handled by a special command (@code{lpc2900 secure_sector}),
6952 and not by the standard @code{flash protect} command.
6953
6954 Example for a 125 MHz clock frequency:
6955 @example
6956 flash bank $_FLASHNAME lpc2900 0 0 0 0 $_TARGETNAME 125000
6957 @end example
6958
6959 Some @code{lpc2900}-specific commands are defined. In the following command list,
6960 the @var{bank} parameter is the bank number as obtained by the
6961 @code{flash banks} command.
6962
6963 @deffn {Command} {lpc2900 signature} bank
6964 Calculates a 128-bit hash value, the @emph{signature}, from the whole flash
6965 content. This is a hardware feature of the flash block, hence the calculation is
6966 very fast. You may use this to verify the content of a programmed device against
6967 a known signature.
6968 Example:
6969 @example
6970 lpc2900 signature 0
6971 signature: 0x5f40cdc8:0xc64e592e:0x10490f89:0x32a0f317
6972 @end example
6973 @end deffn
6974
6975 @deffn {Command} {lpc2900 read_custom} bank filename
6976 Reads the 912 bytes of customer information from the flash index sector, and
6977 saves it to a file in binary format.
6978 Example:
6979 @example
6980 lpc2900 read_custom 0 /path_to/customer_info.bin
6981 @end example
6982 @end deffn
6983
6984 The index sector of the flash is a @emph{write-only} sector. It cannot be
6985 erased! In order to guard against unintentional write access, all following
6986 commands need to be preceded by a successful call to the @code{password}
6987 command:
6988
6989 @deffn {Command} {lpc2900 password} bank password
6990 You need to use this command right before each of the following commands:
6991 @code{lpc2900 write_custom}, @code{lpc2900 secure_sector},
6992 @code{lpc2900 secure_jtag}.
6993
6994 The password string is fixed to "I_know_what_I_am_doing".
6995 Example:
6996 @example
6997 lpc2900 password 0 I_know_what_I_am_doing
6998 Potentially dangerous operation allowed in next command!
6999 @end example
7000 @end deffn
7001
7002 @deffn {Command} {lpc2900 write_custom} bank filename type
7003 Writes the content of the file into the customer info space of the flash index
7004 sector. The filetype can be specified with the @var{type} field. Possible values
7005 for @var{type} are: @var{bin} (binary), @var{ihex} (Intel hex format),
7006 @var{elf} (ELF binary) or @var{s19} (Motorola S-records). The file must
7007 contain a single section, and the contained data length must be exactly
7008 912 bytes.

7348 PSoC6 is a dual-core device with CM0+ and CM4 cores. Both cores share
7349 the same Flash/RAM/MMIO address space.
7350
7351 Flash in PSoC6 is split into three regions:
7352 @itemize @bullet
7353 @item Main Flash - this is the main storage for user application.
7354 Total size varies among devices, sector size: 256 kBytes, row size:
7355 512 bytes. Supports erase operation on individual rows.
7356 @item Work Flash - intended to be used as storage for user data
7357 (e.g. EEPROM emulation). Total size: 32 KBytes, sector size: 32 KBytes,
7358 row size: 512 bytes.
7359 @item Supervisory Flash - special region which contains device-specific
7360 service data. This region does not support erase operation. Only few rows can
7361 be programmed by the user, most of the rows are read only. Programming
7362 operation will erase row automatically.
7363 @end itemize
7364
7365 All three flash regions are supported by the driver. Flash geometry is detected
7366 automatically by parsing data in SPCIF_GEOMETRY register.

7640 The @var{num} parameter is a value shown by @command{flash banks}, @var{reg_offset}
7641 is the register offset of the option byte to read from the used bank registers' base.
7642 For example: in STM32H74x/H75x the bank 1 registers' base is 0x52002000 and 0x52002100 for bank 2.

7762
7763 @deffn {Command} {stm32l4x option_read} num reg_offset
7764 Reads an option byte register from the stm32l4x device.
7765 The @var{num} parameter is a value shown by @command{flash banks}, @var{reg_offset}
7766 is the register offset of the Option byte to read.
7767
7768 For example to read the FLASH_OPTR register:
7769 @example
7770 stm32l4x option_read 0 0x20
7771 # Option Register (for STM32L4x): <0x40022020> = 0xffeff8aa
7772 # Option Register (for STM32WBx): <0x58004020> = ...
7773 # The correct flash base address will be used automatically
7774 @end example
7775
7776 The above example will read out the FLASH_OPTR register which contains the RDP
7777 option byte, Watchdog configuration, BOR level etc.
7778 @end deffn
7779
7780 @deffn {Command} {stm32l4x option_write} num reg_offset reg_mask
7781 Write an option byte register of the stm32l4x device.
7782 The @var{num} parameter is a value shown by @command{flash banks}, @var{reg_offset}
7783 is the register offset of the Option byte to write, and @var{reg_mask} is the mask
7784 to apply when writing the register (only bits with a '1' will be touched).
7785
7786 @emph{Note:} To apply the option bytes change immediately, use @command{stm32l4x option_load}.
7787
7788 For example to write the WRP1AR option bytes:
7789 @example
7790 stm32l4x option_write 0 0x28 0x00FF0000 0x00FF00FF
7791 @end example
7792
7793 The above example will write the WRP1AR option register configuring the Write protection
7794 Area A for bank 1. The above example set WRP1AR_END=255, WRP1AR_START=0.
7795 This will effectively write protect all sectors in flash bank 1.
7796 @end deffn
7797
7798 @deffn {Command} {stm32l4x wrp_info} num [device_bank]
7799 List the protected areas using WRP.
7800 The @var{num} parameter is a value shown by @command{flash banks}.
7801 @var{device_bank} parameter is optional, possible values 'bank1' or 'bank2',
7802 if not specified, the command will display the whole flash protected areas.
7803
7804 @b{Note:} @var{device_bank} is different from banks created using @code{flash bank}.
7805 Devices supported in this flash driver, can have main flash memory organized
7806 in single or dual-banks mode.
7807 Thus the usage of @var{device_bank} is meaningful only in dual-bank mode, to get
7808 write protected areas in a specific @var{device_bank}
7809
7810 @end deffn
7811
7812 @deffn {Command} {stm32l4x option_load} num

7870
7871 Only use this driver for locking/unlocking the device or configuring the option bytes.
7872 Use the standard str9 driver for programming.
7873 Before using the flash commands the turbo mode must be enabled using the
7874 @command{str9xpec enable_turbo} command.
7875
7876 Here is some background info to help
7877 you better understand how this driver works. OpenOCD has two flash drivers for
7878 the str9:
7879 @enumerate
7880 @item
7881 Standard driver @option{str9x} programmed via the str9 core. Normally used for
7882 flash programming as it is faster than the @option{str9xpec} driver.
7883 @item
7884 Direct programming @option{str9xpec} using the flash controller. This is an
7885 ISC compliant (IEEE 1532) tap connected in series with the str9 core. The str9
7886 core does not need to be running to program using this flash driver. Typical use
7887 for this driver is locking/unlocking the target and programming the option bytes.
7888 @end enumerate
7889
7890 Before we run any commands using the @option{str9xpec} driver we must first disable
7891 the str9 core. This example assumes the @option{str9xpec} driver has been
7892 configured for flash bank 0.
7893 @example
7894 # assert srst, we do not want core running
7895 # while accessing str9xpec flash driver
7896 adapter assert srst
7897 # turn off target polling
7898 poll off
7899 # disable str9 core
7900 str9xpec enable_turbo 0
7901 # read option bytes
7902 str9xpec options_read 0
7903 # re-enable str9 core
7904 str9xpec disable_turbo 0
7905 poll on
7906 reset halt
7907 @end example
7908 The above example will read the str9 option bytes.
7909 When performing a unlock remember that you will not be able to halt the str9 - it
7910 has been locked. Halting the core is not required for the @option{str9xpec} driver
7911 as mentioned above, just issue the commands above manually or from a telnet prompt.
7912
7913 Several str9xpec-specific commands are defined:
7914
7915 @deffn {Command} {str9xpec disable_turbo} num
7916 Restore the str9 into JTAG chain.
7917 @end deffn
7918
7919 @deffn {Command} {str9xpec enable_turbo} num
7920 Enable turbo mode, will simply remove the str9 from the chain and talk
7921 directly to the embedded flash controller.
7922 @end deffn
7923
7924 @deffn {Command} {str9xpec lock} num
7925 Lock str9 device. The str9 will only respond to an unlock command that will
7926 erase the device.

8033 @section NAND Flash Commands
8034 @cindex NAND
8035
8036 Compared to NOR or SPI flash, NAND devices are inexpensive
8037 and high density. Today's NAND chips, and multi-chip modules,
8038 commonly hold multiple GigaBytes of data.
8039
8040 NAND chips consist of a number of ``erase blocks'' of a given
8041 size (such as 128 KBytes), each of which is divided into a
8042 number of pages (of perhaps 512 or 2048 bytes each). Each
8043 page of a NAND flash has an ``out of band'' (OOB) area to hold
8044 Error Correcting Code (ECC) and other metadata, usually 16 bytes
8045 of OOB for every 512 bytes of page data.
8046
8047 One key characteristic of NAND flash is that its error rate
8048 is higher than that of NOR flash. In normal operation, that
8049 ECC is used to correct and detect errors. However, NAND
8050 blocks can also wear out and become unusable; those blocks
8051 are then marked "bad". NAND chips are even shipped from the
8052 manufacturer with a few bad blocks. The highest density chips
8053 use a technology (MLC) that wears out more quickly, so ECC
8054 support is increasingly important as a way to detect blocks
8055 that have begun to fail, and help to preserve data integrity
8056 with techniques such as wear leveling.
8057
8058 Software is used to manage the ECC. Some controllers don't
8059 support ECC directly; in those cases, software ECC is used.
8060 Other controllers speed up the ECC calculations with hardware.
8061 Single-bit error correction hardware is routine. Controllers
8062 geared for newer MLC chips may correct 4 or more errors for
8063 every 512 bytes of data.
8064
8065 You will need to make sure that any data you write using
8066 OpenOCD includes the appropriate kind of ECC. For example,
8067 that may mean passing the @code{oob_softecc} flag when
8068 writing NAND data, or ensuring that the correct hardware
8069 ECC mode is used.
8070
8071 The basic steps for using NAND devices include:
8072 @enumerate
8073 @item Declare via the command @command{nand device}
8074 @* Do this in a board-specific configuration file,
8075 passing parameters as needed by the controller.
8076 @item Configure each device using @command{nand probe}.
8077 @* Do this only after the associated target is set up,
8078 such as in its reset-init script or in procures defined
8079 to access that device.
8080 @item Operate on the flash via @command{nand subcommand}
8081 @* Often commands to manipulate the flash are typed by a human, or run
8082 via a script in some automated way. Common task include writing a
8083 boot loader, operating system, or other data needed to initialize or
8084 de-brick a board.
8085 @end enumerate
8086
8087 @b{NOTE:} At the time this text was written, the largest NAND
8088 flash fully supported by OpenOCD is 2 GiBytes (16 GiBits).
8089 This is because the variables used to hold offsets and lengths

8105 Declares a NAND device, which can be read and written to
8106 after it has been configured through @command{nand probe}.
8107 In OpenOCD, devices are single chips; this is unlike some
8108 operating systems, which may manage multiple chips as if
8109 they were a single (larger) device.
8110 In some cases, configuring a device will activate extra
8111 commands; see the controller-specific documentation.

8322 The @var{num} parameter is the value shown by @command{nand list}.
8323
8324 This flag is cleared (disabled) by default, but changing that
8325 value won't affect all NAND devices. The key factor is whether
8326 the underlying driver provides @code{read_page} or @code{write_page}
8327 methods. If it doesn't provide those methods, the setting of
8328 this flag is irrelevant; all access is effectively ``raw''.
8329
8330 When those methods exist, they are normally used when reading
8331 data (@command{nand dump} or reading bad block markers) or
8332 writing it (@command{nand write}). However, enabling
8333 raw access (setting the flag) prevents use of those methods,
8334 bypassing hardware ECC logic.

8563 @* OpenOCD commands can occur in a configuration script (discussed
8564 elsewhere) or typed manually by a human or supplied programmatically,
8565 or via one of several TCP/IP Ports.
8566
8567 @item @b{From the human}
8568 @* A human should interact with the telnet interface (default port: 4444)
8569 or via GDB (default port 3333).
8570
8571 To issue commands from within a GDB session, use the @option{monitor}
8572 command, e.g. use @option{monitor poll} to issue the @option{poll}
8573 command. All output is relayed through the GDB session.
8574
8575 @item @b{Machine Interface}
8576 The Tcl interface's intent is to be a machine interface. The default Tcl
8577 port is 5555.

8587 @deffn {Command} {help} [string]
8588 With no parameters, prints help text for all commands.
8589 Otherwise, prints each helptext containing @var{string}.
8590 Not every command provides helptext.
8591
8592 Configuration commands, and commands valid at any time, are
8593 explicitly noted in parenthesis.
8594 In most cases, no such restriction is listed; this indicates commands
8595 which are only available after the configuration stage has completed.
8596 @end deffn
8597
8598 @deffn {Command} {usage} [string]
8599 With no parameters, prints usage text for all commands. Otherwise,
8600 prints all usage text of which command, help text, and usage text
8601 containing @var{string}.
8602 Not every command provides helptext.
8603 @end deffn
8604
8605 @deffn {Command} {sleep} msec [@option{busy}]
8606 Wait for at least @var{msec} milliseconds before resuming.
8607 If @option{busy} is passed, busy-wait instead of sleeping.
8608 (This option is strongly discouraged.)
8609 Useful in connection with script files
8610 (@command{script} command and @command{target_name} configuration).
8611 @end deffn
8612
8613 @deffn {Command} {shutdown} [@option{error}]
8614 Close the OpenOCD server, disconnecting all clients (GDB, telnet,
8615 other). If option @option{error} is used, OpenOCD will return a
8616 non-zero exit code to the parent process.
8617
8618 If user types CTRL-C or kills OpenOCD, the command @command{shutdown}
8619 will be automatically executed to cause OpenOCD to exit.
8620
8621 It is possible to specify, in the TCL list @var{pre_shutdown_commands} , a
8622 set of commands to be automatically executed before @command{shutdown} , e.g.:
8623 @example
8624 lappend pre_shutdown_commands @{echo "Goodbye, my friend ..."@}
8625 lappend pre_shutdown_commands @{echo "see you soon !"@}
8626 @end example
8627 The commands in the list will be executed (in the same order they occupy
8628 in the list) before OpenOCD exits. If one of the commands in the list
8629 fails, then the remaining commands are not executed anymore while OpenOCD
8630 will proceed to quit.

8637 If @var{n} (from 0..4) is provided, then set it to that level.
8638 This affects the kind of messages sent to the server log.
8639 Level 0 is error messages only;
8640 level 1 adds warnings;
8641 level 2 adds informational messages;
8642 level 3 adds debugging messages;
8643 and level 4 adds verbose low-level debug messages.
8644 The default is level 2, but that can be overridden on
8645 the command line along with the location of that log
8646 file (which is normally the server's standard output).

8679
8680 In this section ``target'' refers to a CPU configured as
8681 shown earlier (@pxref{CPU Configuration}).
8682 These commands, like many, implicitly refer to
8683 a current target which is used to perform the
8684 various operations. The current target may be changed
8685 by using @command{targets} command with the name of the
8686 target which should become current.
8687
8688 @deffn {Command} {reg} [(number|name) [(value|'force')]]
8689 Access a single register by @var{number} or by its @var{name}.
8690 The target must generally be halted before access to CPU core
8691 registers is allowed. Depending on the hardware, some other
8692 registers may be accessible while the target is running.
8693
8694 @emph{With no arguments}:
8695 list all available registers for the current target,
8696 showing number, name, size, value, and cache status.
8697 For valid entries, a value is shown; valid entries
8698 which are also dirty (and will be written back later)
8699 are flagged as such.
8700
8701 @emph{With number/name}: display that register's value.
8702 Use @var{force} argument to read directly from the target,
8703 bypassing any internal cache.
8704
8705 @emph{With both number/name and value}: set register's value.
8706 Writes may be held in a writeback cache internal to OpenOCD,
8707 so that setting the value marks the register as dirty instead
8708 of immediately flushing that value. Resuming CPU execution
8709 (including by single stepping) or otherwise activating the
8710 relevant module will flush such values.
8711
8712 Cores may have surprisingly many registers in their
8713 Debug and trace infrastructure:
8714
8715 @example
8716 > reg
8717 ===== ARM registers
8718 (0) r0 (/32): 0x0000D3C2 (dirty)
8719 (1) r1 (/32): 0xFD61F31C

8798
8799 @deffn {Command} {halt} [ms]
8800 @deffnx {Command} {wait_halt} [ms]
8801 The @command{halt} command first sends a halt request to the target,
8802 which @command{wait_halt} doesn't.
8803 Otherwise these behave the same: wait up to @var{ms} milliseconds,
8804 or 5 seconds if there is no parameter, for the target to halt
8805 (and enter debug mode).
8806 Using 0 as the @var{ms} parameter prevents OpenOCD from waiting.
8807
8808 @quotation Warning
8809 On ARM cores, software using the @emph{wait for interrupt} operation
8810 often blocks the JTAG access needed by a @command{halt} command.
8811 This is because that operation also puts the core into a low
8812 power mode by gating the core clock;
8813 but the core clock is needed to detect JTAG clock transitions.
8814
8815 One partial workaround uses adaptive clocking: when the core is
8816 interrupted the operation completes, then JTAG clocks are accepted
8817 at least until the interrupt handler completes.
8818 However, this workaround is often unusable since the processor, board,
8819 and JTAG adapter must all support adaptive JTAG clocking.
8820 Also, it can't work until an interrupt is issued.
8821
8822 A more complete workaround is to not use that operation while you
8823 work with a JTAG debugger.
8824 Tasking environments generally have idle loops where the body is the
8825 @emph{wait for interrupt} operation.
8826 (On older cores, it is a coprocessor action;
8827 newer cores have a @option{wfi} instruction.)
8828 Such loops can just remove that operation, at the cost of higher
8829 power consumption (because the CPU is needlessly clocked).

8870 released begins to execute code. OpenOCD attempts to stop the CPU and

8880 The @var{signal} parameter values may be
8881 @option{srst}, indicating that srst signal is to be asserted or deasserted,
8882 @option{trst}, indicating that trst signal is to be asserted or deasserted.
8883
8884 The @command{reset_config} command should already have been used
8885 to configure how the board and the adapter treat these two
8886 signals, and to say if either signal is even present.
8887 @xref{Reset Configuration}.
8888 Trying to assert a signal that is not present triggers an error.
8889 If a signal is present on the adapter and not specified in the command,
8890 the signal will not be modified.
8891
8892 @quotation Note
8893 TRST is specially handled.
8894 It actually signifies JTAG's @sc{reset} state.
8895 So if the board doesn't support the optional TRST signal,
8896 or it doesn't support it along with the specified SRST value,
8897 JTAG reset is triggered with TMS and TCK signals
8898 instead of the TRST signal.
8899 And no matter how that JTAG reset is triggered, once
8900 the scan chain enters @sc{reset} with TRST inactive,
8901 TAP @code{post-reset} events are delivered to all TAPs
8902 with handlers for that event.

9060 @section Real Time Transfer (RTT)
9061
9062 Real Time Transfer (RTT) is an interface specified by SEGGER based on basic
9063 memory reads and writes to transfer data bidirectionally between target and host.
9064 The specification is independent of the target architecture.
9065 Every target that supports so called "background memory access", which means
9066 that the target memory can be accessed by the debugger while the target is
9067 running, can be used.
9068 This interface is especially of interest for targets without
9069 Serial Wire Output (SWO), such as ARM Cortex-M0, or where semihosting is not
9070 applicable because of real-time constraints.
9071
9072 @quotation Note
9073 The current implementation supports only single target devices.
9074 @end quotation
9075
9076 The data transfer between host and target device is organized through
9077 unidirectional up/down-channels for target-to-host and host-to-target
9078 communication, respectively.
9079
9080 @quotation Note
9081 The current implementation does not respect channel buffer flags.
9082 They are used to determine what happens when writing to a full buffer, for
9083 example.
9084 @end quotation
9085
9086 Channels are exposed via raw TCP/IP connections. One or more RTT servers can be
9087 assigned to each channel to make them accessible to an unlimited number
9088 of TCP/IP connections.
9089
9090 @deffn {Command} {rtt setup} address size ID
9091 Configure RTT for the currently selected target.
9092 Once RTT is started, OpenOCD searches for a control block with the

9094 @var{size} bytes.
9095 @end deffn
9096
9097 @deffn {Command} {rtt start}

9109 The polling interval determines (in milliseconds) how often the up-channels are
9110 checked for new data.

9130 The following example shows how to setup RTT using the SEGGER RTT implementation
9131 on the target device.

9137 rtt start
9138
9139 rtt server start 9090 0
9140 @end example
9141
9142 In this example, OpenOCD searches the control block with the ID "SEGGER RTT"
9143 starting at 0x20000000 for 2048 bytes. The RTT channel 0 is exposed through the
9144 TCP/IP port 9090.

9180 Most CPUs have specialized JTAG operations to support debugging.
9181 OpenOCD packages most such operations in its standard command framework.

9187 @cindex tracing
9188 @cindex ETM
9189 @cindex ETB
9190
9191 CPUs based on ARM cores may include standard tracing interfaces,
9192 based on an ``Embedded Trace Module'' (ETM) which sends voluminous
9193 address and data bus trace records to a ``Trace Port''.
9194
9195 @itemize
9196 @item
9197 Development-oriented boards will sometimes provide a high speed
9198 trace connector for collecting that data, when the particular CPU
9199 supports such an interface.
9200 (The standard connector is a 38-pin Mictor, with both JTAG
9201 and trace port support.)
9202 Those trace connectors are supported by higher end JTAG adapters
9203 and some logic analyzer modules; frequently those modules can
9204 buffer several megabytes of trace data.
9205 Configuring an ETM coupled to such an external trace port belongs
9206 in the board-specific configuration file.
9207 @item
9208 If the CPU doesn't provide an external interface, it probably
9209 has an ``Embedded Trace Buffer'' (ETB) on the chip, which is a
9210 dedicated SRAM. 4KBytes is one common ETB size.
9211 Configuring an ETM coupled only to an ETB belongs in the CPU-specific
9212 (target) configuration file, since it works the same on all boards.
9213 @end itemize
9214
9215 ETM support in OpenOCD doesn't seem to be widely used yet.
9216
9217 @quotation Issues
9218 ETM support may be buggy, and at least some @command{etm config}
9219 parameters should be detected by asking the ETM for them.
9220
9221 ETM trigger events could also implement a kind of complex
9222 hardware breakpoint, much more powerful than the simple
9223 watchpoint hardware exported by EmbeddedICE modules.
9224 @emph{Such breakpoints can be triggered even when using the
9225 dummy trace port driver}.
9226
9227 It seems like a GDB hookup should be possible,
9228 as well as tracing only during specific states
9229 (perhaps @emph{handling IRQ 23} or @emph{calls foo()}).
9230
9231 There should be GUI tools to manipulate saved trace data and help
9232 analyse it in conjunction with the source code.
9233 It's unclear how much of a common interface is shared
9234 with the current XScale trace support, or should be
9235 shared with eventual Nexus-style trace module support.
9236
9237 At this writing (November 2009) only ARM7, ARM9, and ARM11 support
9238 for ETM modules is available. The code should be able to
9239 work with some newer cores; but not all of them support
9240 this original style of JTAG access.
9241 @end quotation
9242
9243 @subsection ETM Configuration
9244 ETM setup is coupled with the trace port driver configuration.
9245
9246 @deffn {Config Command} {etm config} target width mode clocking driver
9247 Declares the ETM associated with @var{target}, and associates it
9248 with a given trace port @var{driver}. @xref{traceportdrivers,,Trace Port Drivers}.
9249
9250 Several of the parameters must reflect the trace port capabilities,
9251 which are a function of silicon capabilities (exposed later
9252 using @command{etm info}) and of what hardware is connected to
9253 that port (such as an external pod, or ETB).
9254 The @var{width} must be either 4, 8, or 16,
9255 except with ETMv3.0 and newer modules which may also
9256 support 1, 2, 24, 32, 48, and 64 bit widths.
9257 (With those versions, @command{etm info} also shows whether
9258 the selected port width and mode are supported.)
9259
9260 The @var{mode} must be @option{normal}, @option{multiplexed},
9261 or @option{demultiplexed}.
9262 The @var{clocking} must be @option{half} or @option{full}.
9263
9264 @quotation Warning
9265 With ETMv3.0 and newer, the bits set with the @var{mode} and
9266 @var{clocking} parameters both control the mode.
9267 This modified mode does not map to the values supported by
9268 previous ETM modules, so this syntax is subject to change.
9269 @end quotation

9271 @quotation Note
9272 You can see the ETM registers using the @command{reg} command.

9320 The default behaviour is @option{disable}.
9321 Any change takes effect after the next @command{etm start}.
9322
9323 By using script commands to configure ETM registers, you can make the
9324 processor enter debug state automatically when certain conditions,
9325 more complex than supported by the breakpoint hardware, happen.
9326 @end deffn
9327
9328 @subsection ETM Trace Operation
9329
9330 After setting up the ETM, you can use it to collect data.
9331 That data can be exported to files for later analysis.
9332 It can also be parsed with OpenOCD, for basic sanity checking.
9333
9334 To configure what is being traced, you will need to write
9335 various trace registers using @command{reg ETM_*} commands.
9336 For the definitions of these registers, read ARM publication
9337 @emph{IHI 0014, ``Embedded Trace Macrocell, Architecture Specification''}.
9338 Be aware that most of the relevant registers are write-only,
9339 and that ETM resources are limited. There are only a handful
9340 of address comparators, data comparators, counters, and so on.
9341
9342 Examples of scenarios you might arrange to trace include:
9343
9344 @itemize
9345 @item Code flow within a function, @emph{excluding} subroutines
9346 it calls. Use address range comparators to enable tracing
9347 for instruction access within that function's body.
9348 @item Code flow within a function, @emph{including} subroutines
9349 it calls. Use the sequencer and address comparators to activate
9350 tracing on an ``entered function'' state, then deactivate it by
9351 exiting that state when the function's exit code is invoked.
9352 @item Code flow starting at the fifth invocation of a function,
9353 combining one of the above models with a counter.
9354 @item CPU data accesses to the registers for a particular device,
9355 using address range comparators and the ViewData logic.
9356 @item Such data accesses only during IRQ handling, combining the above
9357 model with sequencer triggers which on entry and exit to the IRQ handler.
9358 @item @emph{... more}
9359 @end itemize

9361 At this writing, September 2009, there are no Tcl utility
9362 procedures to help set up any common tracing scenarios.

9447 Creates a CTI instance @var{cti_name} on the DAP instance @var{dap_name} on MEM-AP
9448 @var{apn}. The @var{base_address} must match the base address of the CTI

9595 Enable resumable SEMIHOSTING_SYS_EXIT.
9596
9597 When SEMIHOSTING_SYS_EXIT is called outside a debug session,
9598 things are simple, the openocd process calls exit() and passes
9599 the value returned by the target.
9600
9601 When SEMIHOSTING_SYS_EXIT is called during a debug session,
9602 by default execution returns to the debugger, leaving the
9603 debugger in a HALT state, similar to the state entered when
9604 encountering a break.
9605
9606 In some use cases, it is useful to have SEMIHOSTING_SYS_EXIT
9607 return normally, as any semihosting call, and do not break
9608 to the debugger.
9609 The standard allows this to happen, but the condition
9610 to trigger it is a bit obscure ("by performing an RDI_Execute
9611 request or equivalent").

9778
9779 @subsection XScale specific commands
9780 @cindex XScale
9781
9782 Some notes about the debug implementation on the XScale CPUs:
9783
9784 The XScale CPU provides a special debug-only mini-instruction cache
9785 (mini-IC) in which exception vectors and target-resident debug handler
9786 code are placed by OpenOCD. In order to get access to the CPU, OpenOCD
9787 must point vector 0 (the reset vector) to the entry of the debug
9788 handler. However, this means that the complete first cacheline in the
9789 mini-IC is marked valid, which makes the CPU fetch all exception
9790 handlers from the mini-IC, ignoring the code in RAM.
9791
9792 To address this situation, OpenOCD provides the @code{xscale
9793 vector_table} command, which allows the user to explicitly write
9794 individual entries to either the high or low vector table stored in
9795 the mini-IC.
9796
9797 It is recommended to place a pc-relative indirect branch in the vector
9798 table, and put the branch destination somewhere in memory. Doing so
9799 makes sure the code in the vector table stays constant regardless of
9800 code layout in memory:
9801 @example
9802 _vectors:
9803 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
9804 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
9805 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
9806 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
9807 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
9808 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
9809 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
9810 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
9811 .org 0x100
9812 .long real_reset_vector
9813 .long real_ui_handler
9814 .long real_swi_handler
9815 .long real_pf_abort
9816 .long real_data_abort
9817 .long 0 /* unused */
9818 .long real_irq_handler
9819 .long real_fiq_handler
9820 @end example
9821
9822 Alternatively, you may choose to keep some or all of the mini-IC
9823 vector table entries synced with those written to memory by your
9824 system software. The mini-IC can not be modified while the processor
9825 is executing, but for each vector table entry not previously defined
9826 using the @code{xscale vector_table} command, OpenOCD will copy the
9827 value from memory to the mini-IC every time execution resumes from a
9828 halt. This is done for both high and low vector tables (although the
9829 table not in use may not be mapped to valid memory, and in this case
9830 that copy operation will silently fail). This means that you will
9831 need to briefly halt execution at some strategic point during system
9832 start-up; e.g., after the software has initialized the vector table,
9833 but before exceptions are enabled. A breakpoint can be used to
9834 accomplish this once the appropriate location in the start-up code has
9835 been identified. A watchpoint over the vector table region is helpful
9836 in finding the location if you're not sure. Note that the same
9837 situation exists any time the vector table is modified by the system
9838 software.
9839
9840 The debug handler must be placed somewhere in the address space using
9841 the @code{xscale debug_handler} command. The allowed locations for the
9842 debug handler are either (0x800 - 0x1fef800) or (0xfe000800 -
9843 0xfffff800). The default value is 0xfe000800.
9844
9845 XScale has resources to support two hardware breakpoints and two
9846 watchpoints. However, the following restrictions on watchpoint
9847 functionality apply: (1) the value and mask arguments to the @code{wp}
9848 command are not supported, (2) the watchpoint length must be a
9849 power of two and not less than four, and can not be greater than the
9850 watchpoint address, and (3) a watchpoint with a length greater than
9851 four consumes all the watchpoint hardware resources. This means that
9852 at any one time, you can have enabled either two watchpoints with a
9853 length of four, or one watchpoint with a length greater than four.

10050
10051 ARM CoreSight provides several modules to generate debugging
10052 information internally (ITM, DWT and ETM). Their output is directed
10053 through TPIU or SWO modules to be captured externally either on an SWO pin (this
10054 configuration is called SWV) or on a synchronous parallel trace port.
10055
10056 ARM CoreSight provides independent HW blocks named TPIU and SWO each with its
10057 own functionality. Embedded in Cortex-M3 and M4, ARM provides an optional HW
10058 block that includes both TPIU and SWO functionalities and is again named TPIU,
10059 which causes quite some confusion.
10060 The registers map of all the TPIU and SWO implementations allows using a single
10061 driver that detects at runtime the features available.
10062
10063 The @command{tpiu} is used for either TPIU or SWO.
10064 A convenient alias @command{swo} is available to help distinguish, in scripts,
10065 the commands for SWO from the commands for TPIU.
10066
10067 @deffn {Command} {swo} ...

10239 @deffn {Command} {cortex_m maskisr} (@option{auto}|@option{on}|@option{off}|@option{steponly})
10240 Control masking (disabling) interrupts during target step/resume.
10241
10242 The @option{auto} option handles interrupts during stepping in a way that they
10243 get served but don't disturb the program flow. The step command first allows
10244 pending interrupt handlers to execute, then disables interrupts and steps over
10245 the next instruction where the core was halted. After the step interrupts
10246 are enabled again. If the interrupt handlers don't complete within 500ms,
10247 the step command leaves with the core running.
10248
10249 The @option{steponly} option disables interrupts during single-stepping but
10250 enables them during normal execution. This can be used as a partial workaround
10251 for 702596 erratum in Cortex-M7 r0p1. See "Cortex-M7 (AT610) and Cortex-M7 with
10252 FPU (AT611) Software Developer Errata Notice" from ARM for further details.
10253
10254 Note that a free hardware (FPB) breakpoint is required for the @option{auto}
10255 option. If no breakpoint is available at the time of the step, then the step
10256 is taken with interrupts enabled, i.e. the same way the @option{off} option
10257 does.
10258
10259 Default is @option{auto}.

10261
10262 @deffn {Command} {cortex_m vector_catch} [@option{all}|@option{none}|list]

10276 @option{chk_err}, or
10277 @option{nocp_err} for various UsageFault exceptions; or
10278 @option{reset}.
10279 If NVIC setup code does not enable them,
10280 MemManage, BusFault, and UsageFault exceptions
10281 are mapped to HardFault.
10282 UsageFault checks for
10283 divide-by-zero and unaligned access
10284 must also be explicitly enabled.

10375
10376 @subsection eSi-Trace Configuration
10377
10378 eSi-RISC targets may be configured with support for instruction tracing. Trace
10379 data may be written to an in-memory buffer or FIFO. If a FIFO is configured, DMA
10380 is typically employed to move trace data off-device using a high-speed
10381 peripheral (eg. SPI). Collected trace data is encoded in one of three different
10382 formats. At a minimum, @command{esirisc trace buffer} or @command{esirisc trace
10383 fifo} must be issued along with @command{esirisc trace format} before trace data
10384 can be collected.
10385
10386 OpenOCD provides rudimentary analysis of collected trace data. If more detail is
10387 needed, collected trace data can be dumped to a file and processed by external
10388 tooling.
10389
10390 @quotation Issues
10391 OpenOCD is unable to process trace data sent to a FIFO. A potential workaround
10392 for this issue is to configure DMA to copy trace data to an in-memory buffer,
10393 which can then be passed to the @command{esirisc trace analyze} and
10394 @command{esirisc trace dump} commands.
10395
10396 It is possible to corrupt trace data when using a FIFO if the peripheral
10397 responsible for draining data from the FIFO is not fast enough. This can be
10398 managed by enabling flow control, however this can impact timing-sensitive
10399 software operation on the CPU.

10605 @section RISC-V Architecture
10606
10607 @uref{http://riscv.org/, RISC-V} is a free and open ISA. OpenOCD supports JTAG
10608 debug of RV32 and RV64 cores in heterogeneous multicore systems of up to 32
10609 harts. (It's possible to increase this limit to 1024 by changing
10610 RISCV_MAX_HARTS in riscv.h.) OpenOCD primarily supports 0.13 of the RISC-V
10611 Debug Specification, but there is also support for legacy targets that
10612 implement version 0.11.
10613
10614 @subsection RISC-V Terminology
10615
10616 A @emph{hart} is a hardware thread. A hart may share resources (eg. FPU) with
10617 another hart, or may be a separate core. RISC-V treats those the same, and
10618 OpenOCD exposes each hart as a separate core.
10619
10620 @subsection Vector Registers
10621
10622 For harts that implement the vector extension, OpenOCD provides access to the
10623 relevant CSRs, as well as the vector registers (v0-v31). The size of each
10624 vector register is dependent on the value of vlenb. RISC-V allows each vector
10625 register to be divided into selected-width elements, and this division can be
10626 changed at run-time. Because OpenOCD cannot update register definitions at
10627 run-time, it exposes each vector register to gdb as a union of fields of
10628 vectors so that users can easily access individual bytes, shorts, words,
10629 longs, and quads inside each vector register. It is left to gdb or
10630 higher-level debuggers to present this data in a more intuitive format.
10631
10632 In the XML register description, the vector registers (when vlenb=16) look as
10633 follows:
10634
10635 @example
10636 <feature name="org.gnu.gdb.riscv.vector">
10637 <vector id="bytes" type="uint8" count="16"/>
10638 <vector id="shorts" type="uint16" count="8"/>
10639 <vector id="words" type="uint32" count="4"/>
10640 <vector id="longs" type="uint64" count="2"/>
10641 <vector id="quads" type="uint128" count="1"/>
10642 <union id="riscv_vector">
10643 <field name="b" type="bytes"/>
10644 <field name="s" type="shorts"/>
10645 <field name="w" type="words"/>
10646 <field name="l" type="longs"/>
10647 <field name="q" type="quads"/>
10648 </union>
10649 <reg name="v0" bitsize="128" regnum="4162" save-restore="no"
10650 type="riscv_vector" group="vector"/>
10651 ...
10652 <reg name="v31" bitsize="128" regnum="4193" save-restore="no"
10653 type="riscv_vector" group="vector"/>
10654 </feature>
10655 @end example
10656
10657 @subsection RISC-V Debug Configuration Commands
10658
10659 @deffn {Config Command} {riscv expose_csrs} n[-m|=name] [...]
10660 Configure which CSRs to expose in addition to the standard ones. The CSRs to expose
10661 can be specified as individual register numbers or register ranges (inclusive). For the
10662 individually listed CSRs, a human-readable name can optionally be set using the @code{n=name}
10663 syntax, which will get @code{csr_} prepended to it. If no name is provided, the register will be
10664 named @code{csr<n>}.
10665
10666 By default OpenOCD attempts to expose only CSRs that are mentioned in a spec,
10667 and then only if the corresponding extension appears to be implemented. This
10668 command can be used if OpenOCD gets this wrong, or if the target implements custom
10669 CSRs.
10670
10671 @example
10672 # Expose a single RISC-V CSR number 128 under the name "csr128":
10673 $_TARGETNAME expose_csrs 128
10674
10675 # Expose multiple RISC-V CSRs 128..132 under names "csr128" through "csr132":
10676 $_TARGETNAME expose_csrs 128-132
10677
10678 # Expose a single RISC-V CSR number 1996 under custom name "csr_myregister":

10680 @end example
10681 @end deffn
10682
10683 @deffn {Config Command} {riscv expose_custom} n[-m|=name] [...]
10684 The RISC-V Debug Specification allows targets to expose custom registers
10685 through abstract commands. (See Section 3.5.1.1 in that document.) This command
10686 configures individual registers or register ranges (inclusive) that shall be exposed.
10687 Number 0 indicates the first custom register, whose abstract command number is 0xc000.
10688 For individually listed registers, a human-readable name can be optionally provided
10689 using the @code{n=name} syntax, which will get @code{custom_} prepended to it. If no
10690 name is provided, the register will be named @code{custom<n>}.
10691
10692 @example
10693 # Expose one RISC-V custom register with number 0xc010 (0xc000 + 16)
10694 # under the name "custom16":
10695 $_TARGETNAME expose_custom 16
10696
10697 # Expose a range of RISC-V custom registers with numbers 0xc010 .. 0xc018
10698 # (0xc000+16 .. 0xc000+24) under the names "custom16" through "custom24":
10699 $_TARGETNAME expose_custom 16-24

10756 harts are resumed in. If you are using this option, it's probably masking a
10757 race condition problem in your code.

10830 high-performance host applications in a variety of market segments. See more
10831 at: @url{http://www.synopsys.com/IP/ProcessorIP/ARCProcessors/Pages/default.aspx}.
10832 OpenOCD currently supports ARC EM processors.
10833 There is a set ARC-specific OpenOCD commands that allow low-level
10834 access to the core and provide necessary support for ARC extensibility and
10835 configurability capabilities. ARC processors has much more configuration
10836 capabilities than most of the other processors and in addition there is an
10837 extension interface that allows SoC designers to add custom registers and
10838 instructions. For the OpenOCD that mostly means that set of core and AUX
10839 registers in target will vary and is not fixed for a particular processor
10840 model. To enable extensibility several TCL commands are provided that allow to
10841 describe those optional registers in OpenOCD configuration files. Moreover
10842 those commands allow for a dynamic target features discovery.

10867
10868 @itemize @bullet
10869
10870 @item @code{-gdbnum} number
10871 @*GDB register number. It is recommended to not assign GDB register number
10872 manually, because there would be a risk that two register will have same
10873 number. When register GDB number is not set with this option, then register
10874 will get a previous register number + 1. This option is required only for those
10875 registers that must be at particular address expected by GDB.
10876
10877 @item @code{-core}
10878 @*This option specifies that register is a core registers. If not - this is an
10879 AUX register. AUX registers and core registers reside in different address
10880 spaces.
10881
10882 @item @code{-bcr}
10883 @*This options specifies that register is a BCR register. BCR means Build
10884 Configuration Registers - this is a special type of AUX registers that are read
10885 only and non-volatile, that is - they never change their value. Therefore OpenOCD
10886 never invalidates values of those registers in internal caches. Because BCR is a
10887 type of AUX registers, this option cannot be used with @code{-core}.
10888
10889 @item @code{-type} type_name
10890 @*Name of type of this register. This can be either one of the basic GDB types,
10891 or a custom types described with @command{arc add-reg-type-[flags|struct]}.
10892
10893 @item @code{-g}
10894 @* If specified then this is a "general" register. General registers are always
10895 read by OpenOCD on context save (when core has just been halted) and is always
10896 transferred to GDB client in a response to g-packet. Contrary to this,

10960 @section Xtensa Architecture
10961 Xtensa processors are based on a modular, highly flexible 32-bit RISC architecture
10962 that can easily scale from a tiny, cache-less controller or task engine to a high-performance
10963 SIMD/VLIW DSP provided by Cadence.
10964 @url{https://www.cadence.com/en_US/home/tools/ip/tensilica-ip/tensilica-xtensa-controllers-and-extensible-processors.html}.
10965
10966 OpenOCD supports generic Xtensa processors implementation which can be customized by
10967 simply providing vendor-specific core configuration which controls every configurable
10968 Xtensa architecture option, e.g. number of address registers, exceptions, reduced
10969 size instructions support, memory banks configuration etc. Also OpenOCD supports SMP
10970 configurations for Xtensa processors with any number of cores and allows to configure
10971 their debug signals interconnection (so-called "break/stall networks") which control how
10972 debug signals are distributed among cores. Xtensa "break networks" are compatible with
10973 ARM's Cross Trigger Interface (CTI). For debugging code on Xtensa chips OpenOCD
10974 uses JTAG protocol. Currently OpenOCD implements several Epsressif Xtensa-based chips of

11050 @cindex Linux-ARM DCC support
11051 @cindex tracing
11052 @cindex libdcc
11053 @cindex DCC
11054 OpenOCD can process certain requests from target software, when
11055 the target uses appropriate libraries.
11056 The most powerful mechanism is semihosting, but there is also
11057 a lighter weight mechanism using only the DCC channel.
11058
11059 Currently @command{target_request debugmsgs}
11060 is supported only for @option{arm7_9} and @option{cortex_m} cores.
11061 These messages are received as part of target polling, so
11062 you need to have @command{poll on} active to receive them.
11063 They are intrusive in that they will affect program execution
11064 times. If that is a problem, @pxref{armhardwaretracing,,ARM Hardware Tracing}.
11065
11066 See @file{libdcc} in the contrib dir for more details.
11067 In addition to sending strings, characters, and
11068 arrays of various size integers from the target,
11069 @file{libdcc} also exports a software trace point mechanism.
11070 The target being debugged may
11071 issue trace messages which include a 24-bit @dfn{trace point} number.
11072 Trace point support includes two distinct mechanisms,
11073 each supported by a command:
11074
11075 @itemize
11076 @item @emph{History} ... A circular buffer of trace points
11077 can be set up, and then displayed at any time.
11078 This tracks where code has been, which can be invaluable in
11079 finding out how some fault was triggered.
11080
11081 The buffer may overflow, since it collects records continuously.
11082 It may be useful to use some of the 24 bits to represent a
11083 particular event, and other bits to hold data.
11084
11085 @item @emph{Counting} ... An array of counters can be set up,
11086 and then displayed at any time.
11087 This can help establish code coverage and identify hot spots.
11088
11089 The array of counters is directly indexed by the trace point
11090 number, so trace points with higher numbers are not counted.
11091 @end itemize
11092
11093 Linux-ARM kernels have a ``Kernel low-level debugging
11094 via EmbeddedICE DCC channel'' option (CONFIG_DEBUG_ICEDCC,
11095 depends on CONFIG_DEBUG_LL) which uses this mechanism to
11096 deliver messages before a serial console can be activated.
11097 This is not the same format used by @file{libdcc}.
11098 Other software, such as the U-Boot boot loader, sometimes
11099 does the same thing.
11100
11101 @deffn {Command} {target_request debugmsgs} [@option{enable}|@option{disable}|@option{charmsg}]
11102 Displays current handling of target DCC message requests.
11103 These messages may be sent to the debugger while the target is running.
11104 The optional @option{enable} and @option{charmsg} parameters
11105 both enable the messages, while @option{disable} disables them.
11106
11107 With @option{charmsg} the DCC words each contain one character,
11108 as used by Linux with CONFIG_DEBUG_ICEDCC;
11109 otherwise the libdcc format is used.
11110 @end deffn
11111
11112 @deffn {Command} {trace history} [@option{clear}|count]
11113 With no parameter, displays all the trace points that have triggered
11114 in the order they triggered.
11115 With the parameter @option{clear}, erases all current trace history records.
11116 With a @var{count} parameter, allocates space for that many
11117 history records.
11118 @end deffn
11119

11122 they have been triggered.
11123 With the parameter @option{clear}, erases all current trace point counters.
11124 With a numeric @var{identifier} parameter, creates a new a trace point counter
11125 and associates it with that identifier.
11126
11127 @emph{Important:} The identifier and the trace point number
11128 are not related except by this command.
11129 These trace point numbers always start at zero (from server startup,
11130 or after @command{trace point clear}) and count up from there.

11134 @node JTAG Commands
11135 @chapter JTAG Commands
11136 @cindex JTAG Commands
11137 Most general purpose JTAG commands have been presented earlier.
11138 (@xref{jtagspeed,,JTAG Speed}, @ref{Reset Configuration}, and @ref{TAP Declaration}.)
11139 Lower level JTAG commands, as presented here,
11140 may be needed to work with targets which require special
11141 attention during operations such as reset or initialization.
11142
11143 To use these commands you will need to understand some
11144 of the basics of JTAG, including:
11145
11146 @itemize @bullet
11147 @item A JTAG scan chain consists of a sequence of individual TAP
11148 devices such as a CPUs.
11149 @item Control operations involve moving each TAP through the same
11150 standard state machine (in parallel)
11151 using their shared TMS and clock signals.
11152 @item Data transfer involves shifting data through the chain of
11153 instruction or data registers of each TAP, writing new register values
11154 while the reading previous ones.
11155 @item Data register sizes are a function of the instruction active in
11156 a given TAP, while instruction register sizes are fixed for each TAP.
11157 All TAPs support a BYPASS instruction with a single bit data register.
11158 @item The way OpenOCD differentiates between TAP devices is by
11159 shifting different instructions into (and out of) their instruction
11160 registers.
11161 @end itemize
11162
11163 @section Low Level JTAG Commands
11164
11165 These commands are used by developers who need to access
11166 JTAG instruction or data registers, possibly controlling
11167 the order of TAP state transitions.
11168 If you're not debugging OpenOCD internals, or bringing up a
11169 new JTAG adapter or a new type of TAP device (like a CPU or
11170 JTAG router), you probably won't need to use these commands.
11171 In a debug session that doesn't use JTAG for its transport protocol,
11172 these commands are not available.
11173
11174 @deffn {Command} {drscan} tap [numbits value]+ [@option{-endstate} tap_state]
11175 Loads the data register of @var{tap} with a series of bit fields
11176 that specify the entire register.
11177 Each field is @var{numbits} bits long with
11178 a numeric @var{value} (hexadecimal encouraged).
11179 The return value holds the original value of each
11180 of those fields.
11181
11182 For example, a 38 bit number might be specified as one
11183 field of 32 bits then one of 6 bits.
11184 @emph{For portability, never pass fields which are more
11185 than 32 bits long. Many OpenOCD implementations do not
11186 support 64-bit (or larger) integer values.}
11187
11188 All TAPs other than @var{tap} must be in BYPASS mode.
11189 The single bit in their data registers does not matter.
11190
11191 When @var{tap_state} is specified, the JTAG state machine is left
11192 in that state.
11193 For example @sc{drpause} might be specified, so that more
11194 instructions can be issued before re-entering the @sc{run/idle} state.
11195 If the end state is not specified, the @sc{run/idle} state is entered.
11196
11197 @quotation Warning
11198 OpenOCD does not record information about data register lengths,
11199 so @emph{it is important that you get the bit field lengths right}.
11200 Remember that different JTAG instructions refer to different
11201 data registers, which may have different lengths.
11202 Moreover, those lengths may not be fixed;
11203 the SCAN_N instruction can change the length of
11204 the register accessed by the INTEST instruction
11205 (by connecting a different scan chain).
11206 @end quotation
11207 @end deffn
11208
11209 @deffn {Command} {flush_count}
11210 Returns the number of times the JTAG queue has been flushed.
11211 This may be used for performance tuning.
11212
11213 For example, flushing a queue over USB involves a
11214 minimum latency, often several milliseconds, which does
11215 not change with the amount of data which is written.
11216 You may be able to identify performance problems by finding
11217 tasks which waste bandwidth by flushing small transfers too often,
11218 instead of batching them into larger operations.
11219 @end deffn
11220
11221 @deffn {Command} {irscan} [tap instruction]+ [@option{-endstate} tap_state]
11222 For each @var{tap} listed, loads the instruction register
11223 with its associated numeric @var{instruction}.
11224 (The number of bits in that instruction may be displayed
11225 using the @command{scan_chain} command.)
11226 For other TAPs, a BYPASS instruction is loaded.
11227
11228 When @var{tap_state} is specified, the JTAG state machine is left
11229 in that state.
11230 For example @sc{irpause} might be specified, so the data register
11231 can be loaded before re-entering the @sc{run/idle} state.
11232 If the end state is not specified, the @sc{run/idle} state is entered.
11233
11234 @quotation Note
11235 OpenOCD currently supports only a single field for instruction
11236 register values, unlike data register values.
11237 For TAPs where the instruction register length is more than 32 bits,
11238 portable scripts currently must issue only BYPASS instructions.

11245 Unless it is the only state given, this will often be the
11246 current state, so that no TCK transitions are needed.
11247 Then, in a series of single state transitions
11248 (conforming to the JTAG state machine) shift to
11249 each @var{next_state} in sequence, one per TCK cycle.

11370
11371 The Xilinx Serial Vector Format, better known as @dfn{XSVF}, is a
11372 binary representation of SVF which is optimized for use with
11373 Xilinx devices.
11374 In a debug session using JTAG for its transport protocol,
11375 OpenOCD supports running such test files.
11376
11377 @quotation Important
11378 Not all XSVF commands are supported.
11379 @end quotation
11380
11381 @deffn {Command} {xsvf} (tapname|@option{plain}) filename [@option{virt2}] [@option{quiet}]
11382 This issues a JTAG reset (Test-Logic-Reset) and then
11383 runs the XSVF script from @file{filename}.
11384 When a @var{tapname} is specified, the commands are directed at
11385 that TAP.
11386 When @option{virt2} is specified, the @sc{xruntest} command counts
11387 are interpreted as TCK cycles instead of microseconds.
11388 Unless the @option{quiet} option is specified,
11389 messages are logged for comments and some retries.
11390 @end deffn
11391
11392 The OpenOCD sources also include two utility scripts
11393 for working with XSVF; they are not currently installed
11394 after building the software.
11395 You may find them useful:
11396
11397 @itemize
11398 @item @emph{svf2xsvf} ... converts SVF files into the extended XSVF
11399 syntax understood by the @command{xsvf} command; see notes below.
11400 @item @emph{xsvfdump} ... converts XSVF files into a text output format;
11401 understands the OpenOCD extensions.
11402 @end itemize
11403
11404 The input format accepts a handful of non-standard extensions.
11405 These include three opcodes corresponding to SVF extensions
11406 from Lattice Semiconductor (LCOUNT, LDELAY, LDSR), and
11407 two opcodes supporting a more accurate translation of SVF
11408 (XTRST, XWAITSTATE).
11409 If @emph{xsvfdump} shows a file is using those opcodes, it
11410 probably will not be usable with other XSVF tools.

11417 IPDBG is a set of tools to debug IP-Cores. It comprises, among others, a logic analyzer and an arbitrary
11418 waveform generator. These are synthesize-able hardware descriptions of
11419 logic circuits in addition to software for control, visualization and further analysis.
11420 In a session using JTAG for its transport protocol, OpenOCD supports the function
11421 of a JTAG-Host. The JTAG-Host is needed to connect the circuit over JTAG to the
11422 control-software. For more details see @url{http://ipdbg.org}.

11430 @item @option{-tap @var{tapname}} targeting the TAP @var{tapname}.
11431 @item @option{-hub @var{ir_value}} states that the JTAG hub is
11432 reachable with dr-scans while the JTAG instruction register has the value @var{ir_value}.
11433 @item @option{-port @var{number}} tcp port number where the JTAG-Host is listening.
11434 @item @option{-tool @var{number}} number of the tool/feature. These corresponds to the ports "data_(up/down)_(0..6)" at the JtagHub.
11435 @item @option{-vir [@var{vir_value} [@var{length} [@var{instr_code}]]]} On some devices, the user data-register is only reachable if there is a
11436 specific value in a second dr. This second dr is called vir (virtual ir). With this parameter given, the IPDBG satisfies this condition prior an
11437 access to the IPDBG-Hub. The value shifted into the vir is given by the first parameter @var{vir_value} (default: 0x11). The second
11438 parameter @var{length} is the length of the vir data register (default: 5). With the @var{instr_code} (default: 0x00e) parameter the ir value to
11439 shift data through vir can be configured.

11460 @section RAM testing
11461 @cindex RAM testing
11462
11463 There is often a need to stress-test random access memory (RAM) for
11464 errors. OpenOCD comes with a Tcl implementation of well-known memory
11465 testing procedures allowing the detection of all sorts of issues with
11466 electrical wiring, defective chips, PCB layout and other common
11467 hardware problems.
11468
11469 To use them, you usually need to initialise your RAM controller first;
11470 consult your SoC's documentation to get the recommended list of
11471 register operations and translate them to the corresponding
11472 @command{mww}/@command{mwb} commands.
11473
11474 Load the memory testing functions with
11475
11476 @example
11477 source [find tools/memtest.tcl]
11478 @end example
11479
11480 to get access to the following facilities:
11481
11482 @deffn {Command} {memTestDataBus} address
11483 Test the data bus wiring in a memory region by performing a walking
11484 1's test at a fixed address within that region.
11485 @end deffn
11486
11487 @deffn {Command} {memTestAddressBus} baseaddress size
11488 Perform a walking 1's test on the relevant bits of the address and
11489 check for aliasing. This test will find single-bit address failures
11490 such as stuck-high, stuck-low, and shorted pins.
11491 @end deffn
11492

11514 @node GDB and OpenOCD
11515 @chapter GDB and OpenOCD
11516 @cindex GDB
11517 OpenOCD complies with the remote gdbserver protocol and, as such, can be used
11518 to debug remote targets.
11519 Setting up GDB to work with OpenOCD can involve several components:
11520
11521 @itemize
11522 @item The OpenOCD server support for GDB may need to be configured.
11523 @xref{gdbconfiguration,,GDB Configuration}.
11524 @item GDB's support for OpenOCD may need configuration,
11525 as shown in this chapter.
11526 @item If you have a GUI environment like Eclipse,
11527 that also will probably need to be configured.
11528 @end itemize
11529
11530 Of course, the version of GDB you use will need to be one which has
11531 been built to know about the target CPU you're using. It's probably
11532 part of the tool chain you're using. For example, if you are doing
11533 cross-development for ARM on an x86 PC, instead of using the native
11534 x86 @command{gdb} command you might use @command{arm-none-eabi-gdb}
11535 if that's the tool chain used to compile your code.
11536
11537 @section Connecting to GDB
11538 @cindex Connecting to GDB
11539 Use GDB 6.7 or newer with OpenOCD if you run into trouble. For
11540 instance GDB 6.3 has a known bug that produces bogus memory access
11541 errors, which has since been fixed; see
11542 @url{http://osdir.com/ml/gdb.bugs.discuss/2004-12/msg00018.html}
11543
11544 OpenOCD can communicate with GDB in two ways:
11545
11546 @enumerate
11547 @item
11548 A socket (TCP/IP) connection is typically started as follows:
11549 @example
11550 target extended-remote localhost:3333
11551 @end example
11552 This would cause GDB to connect to the gdbserver on the local pc using port 3333.
11553
11554 The extended remote protocol is a super-set of the remote protocol and should
11555 be the preferred choice. More details are available in GDB documentation
11556 @url{https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Connecting.html}
11557
11558 To speed-up typing, any GDB command can be abbreviated, including the extended
11559 remote command above that becomes:
11560 @example
11561 tar ext :3333
11562 @end example
11563
11564 @b{Note:} If any backward compatibility issue requires using the old remote
11565 protocol in place of the extended remote one, the former protocol is still
11566 available through the command:
11567 @example
11568 target remote localhost:3333
11569 @end example
11570
11571 @item
11572 A pipe connection is typically started as follows:
11573 @example
11574 target extended-remote | \
11575 openocd -c "gdb_port pipe; log_output openocd.log"
11576 @end example
11577 This would cause GDB to run OpenOCD and communicate using pipes (stdin/stdout).
11578 Using this method has the advantage of GDB starting/stopping OpenOCD for the debug
11579 session. log_output sends the log output to a file to ensure that the pipe is
11580 not saturated when using higher debug level outputs.
11581 @end enumerate
11582
11583 To list the available OpenOCD commands type @command{monitor help} on the
11584 GDB command line.
11585
11586 @section Sample GDB session startup
11587
11588 With the remote protocol, GDB sessions start a little differently
11589 than they do when you're debugging locally.
11590 Here's an example showing how to start a debug session with a
11591 small ARM program.
11592 In this case the program was linked to be loaded into SRAM on a Cortex-M3.
11593 Most programs would be written into flash (address 0) and run from there.
11594
11595 @example
11596 $ arm-none-eabi-gdb example.elf
11597 (gdb) target extended-remote localhost:3333
11598 Remote debugging using localhost:3333
11599 ...
11600 (gdb) monitor reset halt
11601 ...
11602 (gdb) load
11603 Loading section .vectors, size 0x100 lma 0x20000000
11604 Loading section .text, size 0x5a0 lma 0x20000100
11605 Loading section .data, size 0x18 lma 0x200006a0
11606 Start address 0x2000061c, load size 1720
11607 Transfer rate: 22 KB/sec, 573 bytes/write.
11608 (gdb) continue
11609 Continuing.
11610 ...
11611 @end example
11612
11613 You could then interrupt the GDB session to make the program break,
11614 type @command{where} to show the stack, @command{list} to show the
11615 code around the program counter, @command{step} through code,
11616 set breakpoints or watchpoints, and so on.
11617
11618 @section Configuring GDB for OpenOCD
11619
11620 OpenOCD supports the gdb @option{qSupported} packet, this enables information
11621 to be sent by the GDB remote server (i.e. OpenOCD) to GDB. Typical information includes
11622 packet size and the device's memory map.
11623 You do not need to configure the packet size by hand,
11624 and the relevant parts of the memory map should be automatically
11625 set up when you declare (NOR) flash banks.
11626
11627 However, there are other things which GDB can't currently query.
11628 You may need to set those up by hand.
11629 As OpenOCD starts up, you will often see a line reporting
11630 something like:
11631
11632 @example
11633 Info : lm3s.cpu: hardware has 6 breakpoints, 4 watchpoints
11634 @end example
11635
11636 You can pass that information to GDB with these commands:
11637
11638 @example
11639 set remote hardware-breakpoint-limit 6
11640 set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 4
11641 @end example
11642
11643 With that particular hardware (Cortex-M3) the hardware breakpoints
11644 only work for code running from flash memory. Most other ARM systems
11645 do not have such restrictions.
11646
11647 Rather than typing such commands interactively, you may prefer to
11648 save them in a file and have GDB execute them as it starts, perhaps
11649 using a @file{.gdbinit} in your project directory or starting GDB
11650 using @command{gdb -x filename}.
11651
11652 @section Programming using GDB
11653 @cindex Programming using GDB
11654 @anchor{programmingusinggdb}
11655
11656 By default the target memory map is sent to GDB. This can be disabled by
11657 the following OpenOCD configuration option:
11658 @example
11659 gdb_memory_map disable
11660 @end example
11661 For this to function correctly a valid flash configuration must also be set
11662 in OpenOCD. For faster performance you should also configure a valid
11663 working area.
11664
11665 Informing GDB of the memory map of the target will enable GDB to protect any
11666 flash areas of the target and use hardware breakpoints by default. This means
11667 that the OpenOCD option @command{gdb_breakpoint_override} is not required when
11668 using a memory map. @xref{gdbbreakpointoverride,,gdb_breakpoint_override}.
11669
11670 To view the configured memory map in GDB, use the GDB command @option{info mem}.
11671 All other unassigned addresses within GDB are treated as RAM.
11672
11673 GDB 6.8 and higher set any memory area not in the memory map as inaccessible.
11674 This can be changed to the old behaviour by using the following GDB command
11675 @example
11676 set mem inaccessible-by-default off
11677 @end example
11678
11679 If @command{gdb_flash_program enable} is also used, GDB will be able to
11680 program any flash memory using the vFlash interface.
11681
11682 GDB will look at the target memory map when a load command is given, if any
11683 areas to be programmed lie within the target flash area the vFlash packets
11684 will be used.
11685
11686 If the target needs configuring before GDB programming, set target
11687 event gdb-flash-erase-start:
11688 @example
11689 $_TARGETNAME configure -event gdb-flash-erase-start BODY
11690 @end example
11691 @xref{targetevents,,Target Events}, for other GDB programming related events.
11692
11693 To verify any flash programming the GDB command @option{compare-sections}
11694 can be used.
11695
11696 @section Using GDB as a non-intrusive memory inspector
11697 @cindex Using GDB as a non-intrusive memory inspector
11698 @anchor{gdbmeminspect}
11699
11700 If your project controls more than a blinking LED, let's say a heavy industrial
11701 robot or an experimental nuclear reactor, stopping the controlling process
11702 just because you want to attach GDB is not a good option.
11703
11704 OpenOCD does not support GDB non-stop mode (might be implemented in the future).
11705 Though there is a possible setup where the target does not get stopped
11706 and GDB treats it as it were running.
11707 If the target supports background access to memory while it is running,
11708 you can use GDB in this mode to inspect memory (mainly global variables)
11709 without any intrusion of the target process.
11710
11711 Remove default setting of gdb-attach event. @xref{targetevents,,Target Events}.
11712 Place following command after target configuration:
11713 @example
11714 $_TARGETNAME configure -event gdb-attach @{@}
11715 @end example
11716
11717 If any of installed flash banks does not support probe on running target,
11718 switch off gdb_memory_map:
11719 @example
11720 gdb_memory_map disable
11721 @end example
11722
11723 Ensure GDB is configured without interrupt-on-connect.
11724 Some GDB versions set it by default, some does not.
11725 @example
11726 set remote interrupt-on-connect off
11727 @end example
11728
11729 If you switched gdb_memory_map off, you may want to setup GDB memory map
11730 manually or issue @command{set mem inaccessible-by-default off}
11731
11732 Now you can issue GDB command @command{target extended-remote ...} and inspect memory
11733 of a running target. Do not use GDB commands @command{continue},
11734 @command{step} or @command{next} as they synchronize GDB with your target
11735 and GDB would require stopping the target to get the prompt back.
11736
11737 Do not use this mode under an IDE like Eclipse as it caches values of
11738 previously shown variables.
11739
11740 It's also possible to connect more than one GDB to the same target by the
11741 target's configuration option @code{-gdb-max-connections}. This allows, for
11742 example, one GDB to run a script that continuously polls a set of variables
11743 while other GDB can be used interactively. Be extremely careful in this case,
11744 because the two GDB can easily get out-of-sync.

11835 @cindex SMP
11836 @cindex RTOS
11837 @cindex hwthread
11838 OpenOCD includes a pseudo RTOS called @emph{hwthread} that presents CPU cores
11839 ("hardware threads") in an SMP system as threads to GDB. With this extension,
11840 GDB can be used to inspect the state of an SMP system in a natural way.
11841 After halting the system, using the GDB command @command{info threads} will
11842 list the context of each active CPU core in the system. GDB's @command{thread}
11843 command can be used to switch the view to a different CPU core.
11844 The @command{step} and @command{stepi} commands can be used to step a specific core
11845 while other cores are free-running or remain halted, depending on the
11846 scheduler-locking mode configured in GDB.

11850 @cindex Tcl Scripting API
11851 @cindex Tcl scripts
11852 @section API rules
11853
11854 Tcl commands are stateless; e.g. the @command{telnet} command has
11855 a concept of currently active target, the Tcl API proc's take this sort
11856 of state information as an argument to each proc.
11857
11858 There are three main types of return values: single value, name value
11859 pair list and lists.
11860
11861 Name value pair. The proc 'foo' below returns a name/value pair
11862 list.
11863
11864 @example
11865 > set foo(me) Duane
11866 > set foo(you) Oyvind
11867 > set foo(mouse) Micky
11868 > set foo(duck) Donald
11869 @end example
11870
11871 If one does this:
11872
11873 @example
11874 > set foo
11875 @end example
11876
11877 The result is:
11878
11879 @example
11880 me Duane you Oyvind mouse Micky duck Donald
11881 @end example
11882
11883 Thus, to get the names of the associative array is easy:
11884
11885 @verbatim
11886 foreach { name value } [set foo] {
11887 puts "Name: $name, Value: $value"
11888 }
11889 @end verbatim
11890
11891 Lists returned should be relatively small. Otherwise, a range
11892 should be passed in to the proc in question.
11893
11894 @section Internal low-level Commands
11895
11896 By "low-level", we mean commands that a human would typically not
11897 invoke directly.
11898
11899 @itemize
11900 @item @b{flash banks} <@var{driver}> <@var{base}> <@var{size}> <@var{chip_width}> <@var{bus_width}> <@var{target}> [@option{driver options} ...]
11901
11902 Return information about the flash banks
11903
11904 @item @b{capture} <@var{command}>
11905
11906 Run <@var{command}> and return full log output that was produced during
11907 its execution. Example:
11908
11909 @example
11910 > capture "reset init"
11911 @end example
11912
11913 @end itemize
11914
11915 OpenOCD commands can consist of two words, e.g. "flash banks". The
11916 @file{startup.tcl} "unknown" proc will translate this into a Tcl proc
11917 called "flash_banks".
11918
11919 @section Tcl RPC server
11920 @cindex RPC
11921
11922 OpenOCD provides a simple RPC server that allows to run arbitrary Tcl
11923 commands and receive the results.
11924
11925 To access it, your application needs to connect to a configured TCP port
11926 (see @command{tcl_port}). Then it can pass any string to the
11927 interpreter terminating it with @code{0x1a} and wait for the return
11928 value (it will be terminated with @code{0x1a} as well). This can be
11929 repeated as many times as desired without reopening the connection.
11930
11931 It is not needed anymore to prefix the OpenOCD commands with
11932 @code{ocd_} to get the results back. But sometimes you might need the
11933 @command{capture} command.
11934
11935 See @file{contrib/rpc_examples/} for specific client implementations.
11936
11937 @section Tcl RPC server notifications
11938 @cindex RPC Notifications
11939
11940 Notifications are sent asynchronously to other commands being executed over
11941 the RPC server, so the port must be polled continuously.
11942
11943 Target event, state and reset notifications are emitted as Tcl associative arrays
11944 in the following format.
11945
11946 @verbatim
11947 type target_event event [event-name]
11948 type target_state state [state-name]
11949 type target_reset mode [reset-mode]
11950 @end verbatim
11951
11952 @deffn {Command} {tcl_notifications} [on/off]
11953 Toggle output of target notifications to the current Tcl RPC server.

11963 the RPC server, so the port must be polled continuously.
11964
11965 Target trace data is emitted as a Tcl associative array in the following format.
11966
11967 @verbatim

11986 @item @b{RTCK, also known as: Adaptive Clocking - What is it?}
11987 @cindex RTCK
11988 @cindex adaptive clocking
11989 @*
11990
11991 In digital circuit design it is often referred to as ``clock
11992 synchronisation'' the JTAG interface uses one clock (TCK or TCLK)
11993 operating at some speed, your CPU target is operating at another.
11994 The two clocks are not synchronised, they are ``asynchronous''
11995
11996 In order for the two to work together they must be synchronised
11997 well enough to work; JTAG can't go ten times faster than the CPU,
11998 for example. There are 2 basic options:
11999 @enumerate
12000 @item
12001 Use a special "adaptive clocking" circuit to change the JTAG
12002 clock rate to match what the CPU currently supports.
12003 @item
12004 The JTAG clock must be fixed at some speed that's enough slower than
12005 the CPU clock that all TMS and TDI transitions can be detected.
12006 @end enumerate
12007
12008 @b{Does this really matter?} For some chips and some situations, this
12009 is a non-issue, like a 500MHz ARM926 with a 5 MHz JTAG link;
12010 the CPU has no difficulty keeping up with JTAG.
12011 Startup sequences are often problematic though, as are other
12012 situations where the CPU clock rate changes (perhaps to save
12013 power).
12014
12015 For example, Atmel AT91SAM chips start operation from reset with
12016 a 32kHz system clock. Boot firmware may activate the main oscillator
12017 and PLL before switching to a faster clock (perhaps that 500 MHz
12018 ARM926 scenario).
12019 If you're using JTAG to debug that startup sequence, you must slow
12020 the JTAG clock to sometimes 1 to 4kHz. After startup completes,
12021 JTAG can use a faster clock.
12022
12023 Consider also debugging a 500MHz ARM926 hand held battery powered
12024 device that enters a low power ``deep sleep'' mode, at 32kHz CPU
12025 clock, between keystrokes unless it has work to do. When would
12026 that 5 MHz JTAG clock be usable?
12027
12028 @b{Solution #1 - A special circuit}
12029
12030 In order to make use of this,
12031 your CPU, board, and JTAG adapter must all support the RTCK
12032 feature. Not all of them support this; keep reading!
12033
12034 The RTCK ("Return TCK") signal in some ARM chips is used to help with
12035 this problem. ARM has a good description of the problem described at
12036 this link: @url{http://www.arm.com/support/faqdev/4170.html} [checked
12037 28/nov/2008]. Link title: ``How does the JTAG synchronisation logic
12038 work? / how does adaptive clocking work?''.
12039
12040 The nice thing about adaptive clocking is that ``battery powered hand
12041 held device example'' - the adaptiveness works perfectly all the
12042 time. One can set a break point or halt the system in the deep power
12043 down code, slow step out until the system speeds up.
12044
12045 Note that adaptive clocking may also need to work at the board level,
12046 when a board-level scan chain has multiple chips.
12047 Parallel clock voting schemes are good way to implement this,
12048 both within and between chips, and can easily be implemented
12049 with a CPLD.
12050 It's not difficult to have logic fan a module's input TCK signal out
12051 to each TAP in the scan chain, and then wait until each TAP's RTCK comes
12052 back with the right polarity before changing the output RTCK signal.
12053 Texas Instruments makes some clock voting logic available
12054 for free (with no support) in VHDL form; see
12055 @url{http://tiexpressdsp.com/index.php/Adaptive_Clocking}
12056
12057 @b{Solution #2 - Always works - but may be slower}
12058
12059 Often this is a perfectly acceptable solution.
12060
12061 In most simple terms: Often the JTAG clock must be 1/10 to 1/12 of
12062 the target clock speed. But what that ``magic division'' is varies
12063 depending on the chips on your board.
12064 @b{ARM rule of thumb} Most ARM based systems require an 6:1 division;
12065 ARM11 cores use an 8:1 division.
12066 @b{Xilinx rule of thumb} is 1/12 the clock speed.
12067
12068 Note: most full speed FT2232 based JTAG adapters are limited to a
12069 maximum of 6MHz. The ones using USB high speed chips (FT2232H)
12070 often support faster clock rates (and adaptive clocking).
12071
12072 You can still debug the 'low power' situations - you just need to
12073 either use a fixed and very slow JTAG clock rate ... or else
12074 manually adjust the clock speed at every step. (Adjusting is painful
12075 and tedious, and is not always practical.)
12076
12077 It is however easy to ``code your way around it'' - i.e.: Cheat a little,
12078 have a special debug mode in your application that does a ``high power
12079 sleep''. If you are careful - 98% of your problems can be debugged
12080 this way.
12081
12082 Note that on ARM you may need to avoid using the @emph{wait for interrupt}
12083 operation in your idle loops even if you don't otherwise change the CPU
12084 clock rate.
12085 That operation gates the CPU clock, and thus the JTAG clock; which
12086 prevents JTAG access. One consequence is not being able to @command{halt}
12087 cores which are executing that @emph{wait for interrupt} operation.
12088
12089 To set the JTAG frequency use the command:
12090
12091 @example
12092 # Example: 1.234MHz
12093 adapter speed 1234
12094 @end example
12095
12096
12097 @item @b{Win32 Pathnames} Why don't backslashes work in Windows paths?
12098
12099 OpenOCD uses Tcl and a backslash is an escape char. Use @{ and @}
12100 around Windows filenames.
12101
12102 @example
12103 > echo \a
12104
12105 > echo @{\a@}
12106 \a
12107 > echo "\a"
12108
12109 >
12110 @end example
12111
12112
12113 @item @b{Missing: cygwin1.dll} OpenOCD complains about a missing cygwin1.dll.
12114
12115 Make sure you have Cygwin installed, or at least a version of OpenOCD that
12116 claims to come with all the necessary DLLs. When using Cygwin, try launching
12117 OpenOCD from the Cygwin shell.
12118
12119 @item @b{Breakpoint Issue} I'm trying to set a breakpoint using GDB (or a front-end like Insight or
12120 Eclipse), but OpenOCD complains that "Info: arm7_9_common.c:213
12121 arm7_9_add_breakpoint(): sw breakpoint requested, but software breakpoints not enabled".
12122
12123 GDB issues software breakpoints when a normal breakpoint is requested, or to implement
12124 source-line single-stepping. On ARMv4T systems, like ARM7TDMI, ARM720T or ARM920T,
12125 software breakpoints consume one of the two available hardware breakpoints.
12126
12127 @item @b{LPC2000 Flash} When erasing or writing LPC2000 on-chip flash, the operation fails at random.
12128
12129 Make sure the core frequency specified in the @option{flash lpc2000} line matches the
12130 clock at the time you're programming the flash. If you've specified the crystal's
12131 frequency, make sure the PLL is disabled. If you've specified the full core speed
12132 (e.g. 60MHz), make sure the PLL is enabled.
12133
12134 @item @b{Amontec Chameleon} When debugging using an Amontec Chameleon in its JTAG Accelerator configuration,
12135 I keep getting "Error: amt_jtagaccel.c:184 amt_wait_scan_busy(): amt_jtagaccel timed
12136 out while waiting for end of scan, rtck was disabled".
12137
12138 Make sure your PC's parallel port operates in EPP mode. You might have to try several
12139 settings in your PC BIOS (ECP, EPP, and different versions of those).
12140
12141 @item @b{Data Aborts} When debugging with OpenOCD and GDB (plain GDB, Insight, or Eclipse),
12142 I get lots of "Error: arm7_9_common.c:1771 arm7_9_read_memory():
12143 memory read caused data abort".
12144
12145 The errors are non-fatal, and are the result of GDB trying to trace stack frames
12146 beyond the last valid frame. It might be possible to prevent this by setting up
12147 a proper "initial" stack frame, if you happen to know what exactly has to
12148 be done, feel free to add this here.
12149
12150 @b{Simple:} In your startup code - push 8 registers of zeros onto the
12151 stack before calling main(). What GDB is doing is ``climbing'' the run
12152 time stack by reading various values on the stack using the standard
12153 call frame for the target. GDB keeps going - until one of 2 things
12154 happen @b{#1} an invalid frame is found, or @b{#2} some huge number of
12155 stackframes have been processed. By pushing zeros on the stack, GDB
12156 gracefully stops.
12157
12158 @b{Debugging Interrupt Service Routines} - In your ISR before you call
12159 your C code, do the same - artificially push some zeros onto the stack,
12160 remember to pop them off when the ISR is done.
12161
12162 @b{Also note:} If you have a multi-threaded operating system, they
12163 often do not @b{in the interest of saving memory} waste these few
12164 bytes. Painful...
12165
12166
12167 @item @b{JTAG Reset Config} I get the following message in the OpenOCD console (or log file):
12168 "Warning: arm7_9_common.c:679 arm7_9_assert_reset(): srst resets test logic, too".
12169
12170 This warning doesn't indicate any serious problem, as long as you don't want to
12171 debug your core right out of reset. Your .cfg file specified @option{reset_config
12172 trst_and_srst srst_pulls_trst} to tell OpenOCD that either your board,
12173 your debugger or your target uC (e.g. LPC2000) can't assert the two reset signals
12174 independently. With this setup, it's not possible to halt the core right out of
12175 reset, everything else should work fine.
12176
12177 @item @b{USB Power} When using OpenOCD in conjunction with Amontec JTAGkey and the Yagarto
12178 toolchain (Eclipse, arm-elf-gcc, arm-elf-gdb), the debugging seems to be
12179 unstable. When single-stepping over large blocks of code, GDB and OpenOCD
12180 quit with an error message. Is there a stability issue with OpenOCD?
12181
12182 No, this is not a stability issue concerning OpenOCD. Most users have solved
12183 this issue by simply using a self-powered USB hub, which they connect their
12184 Amontec JTAGkey to. Apparently, some computers do not provide a USB power
12185 supply stable enough for the Amontec JTAGkey to be operated.
12186
12187 @b{Laptops running on battery have this problem too...}
12188
12189 @item @b{GDB Disconnects} When using the Amontec JTAGkey, sometimes OpenOCD crashes with the following
12190 error message: "Error: gdb_server.c:101 gdb_get_char(): read: 10054".
12191 What does that mean and what might be the reason for this?
12192
12193 Error code 10054 corresponds to WSAECONNRESET, which means that the debugger (GDB)
12194 has closed the connection to OpenOCD. This might be a GDB issue.
12195
12196 @item @b{LPC2000 Flash} In the configuration file in the section where flash device configurations
12197 are described, there is a parameter for specifying the clock frequency
12198 for LPC2000 internal flash devices (e.g. @option{flash bank $_FLASHNAME lpc2000
12199 0x0 0x40000 0 0 $_TARGETNAME lpc2000_v1 14746 calc_checksum}), which must be
12200 specified in kilohertz. However, I do have a quartz crystal of a
12201 frequency that contains fractions of kilohertz (e.g. 14,745,600 Hz,
12202 i.e. 14,745.600 kHz). Is it possible to specify real numbers for the
12203 clock frequency?
12204
12205 No. The clock frequency specified here must be given as an integral number.
12206 However, this clock frequency is used by the In-Application-Programming (IAP)
12207 routines of the LPC2000 family only, which seems to be very tolerant concerning
12208 the given clock frequency, so a slight difference between the specified clock
12209 frequency and the actual clock frequency will not cause any trouble.
12210
12211 @item @b{Command Order} Do I have to keep a specific order for the commands in the configuration file?
12212
12213 Well, yes and no. Commands can be given in arbitrary order, yet the
12214 devices listed for the JTAG scan chain must be given in the right
12215 order (jtag newdevice), with the device closest to the TDO-Pin being
12216 listed first. In general, whenever objects of the same type exist
12217 which require an index number, then these objects must be given in the
12218 right order (jtag newtap, targets and flash banks - a target
12219 references a jtag newtap and a flash bank references a target).
12220
12221 You can use the ``scan_chain'' command to verify and display the tap order.
12222
12223 Also, some commands can't execute until after @command{init} has been
12224 processed. Such commands include @command{nand probe} and everything
12225 else that needs to write to controller registers, perhaps for setting
12226 up DRAM and loading it with code.
12227
12228 @anchor{faqtaporder}
12229 @item @b{JTAG TAP Order} Do I have to declare the TAPS in some
12230 particular order?
12231
12232 Yes; whenever you have more than one, you must declare them in
12233 the same order used by the hardware.
12234
12235 Many newer devices have multiple JTAG TAPs. For example:
12236 STMicroelectronics STM32 chips have two TAPs, a ``boundary scan TAP'' and
12237 ``Cortex-M3'' TAP. Example: The STM32 reference manual, Document ID:
12238 RM0008, Section 26.5, Figure 259, page 651/681, the ``TDI'' pin is
12239 connected to the boundary scan TAP, which then connects to the
12240 Cortex-M3 TAP, which then connects to the TDO pin.
12241
12242 Thus, the proper order for the STM32 chip is: (1) The Cortex-M3, then
12243 (2) The boundary scan TAP. If your board includes an additional JTAG
12244 chip in the scan chain (for example a Xilinx CPLD or FPGA) you could
12245 place it before or after the STM32 chip in the chain. For example:
12246
12247 @itemize @bullet
12248 @item OpenOCD_TDI(output) -> STM32 TDI Pin (BS Input)
12249 @item STM32 BS TDO (output) -> STM32 Cortex-M3 TDI (input)
12250 @item STM32 Cortex-M3 TDO (output) -> SM32 TDO Pin

12277
12278 Not everyone knows Tcl - this is not intended to be a replacement for
12279 learning Tcl, the intent of this chapter is to give you some idea of
12280 how the Tcl scripts work.
12281
12282 This chapter is written with two audiences in mind. (1) OpenOCD users
12283 who need to understand a bit more of how Jim-Tcl works so they can do
12284 something useful, and (2) those that want to add a new command to
12285 OpenOCD.
12286
12287 @section Tcl Rule #1
12288 There is a famous joke, it goes like this:
12289 @enumerate
12290 @item Rule #1: The wife is always correct
12291 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
12292 @end enumerate
12293
12294 The Tcl equal is this:
12295
12296 @enumerate
12297 @item Rule #1: Everything is a string
12298 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
12299 @end enumerate
12300
12301 As in the famous joke, the consequences of Rule #1 are profound. Once
12302 you understand Rule #1, you will understand Tcl.
12303
12304 @section Tcl Rule #1b
12305 There is a second pair of rules.
12306 @enumerate
12307 @item Rule #1: Control flow does not exist. Only commands
12308 @* For example: the classic FOR loop or IF statement is not a control
12309 flow item, they are commands, there is no such thing as control flow
12310 in Tcl.
12311 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
12312 @* Actually what happens is this: There are commands that by
12313 convention, act like control flow key words in other languages. One of
12314 those commands is the word ``for'', another command is ``if''.
12315 @end enumerate
12316
12317 @section Per Rule #1 - All Results are strings
12318 Every Tcl command results in a string. The word ``result'' is used
12319 deliberately. No result is just an empty string. Remember: @i{Rule #1 -
12320 Everything is a string}
12321
12322 @section Tcl Quoting Operators
12323 In life of a Tcl script, there are two important periods of time, the
12324 difference is subtle.
12325 @enumerate
12326 @item Parse Time
12327 @item Evaluation Time
12328 @end enumerate
12329
12330 The two key items here are how ``quoted things'' work in Tcl. Tcl has
12331 three primary quoting constructs, the [square-brackets] the
12332 @{curly-braces@} and ``double-quotes''
12333
12334 By now you should know $VARIABLES always start with a $DOLLAR
12335 sign. BTW: To set a variable, you actually use the command ``set'', as
12336 in ``set VARNAME VALUE'' much like the ancient BASIC language ``let x
12337 = 1'' statement, but without the equal sign.
12338
12339 @itemize @bullet
12340 @item @b{[square-brackets]}
12341 @* @b{[square-brackets]} are command substitutions. It operates much
12342 like Unix Shell `back-ticks`. The result of a [square-bracket]
12343 operation is exactly 1 string. @i{Remember Rule #1 - Everything is a
12344 string}. These two statements are roughly identical:
12345 @example
12346 # bash example
12347 X=`date`
12348 echo "The Date is: $X"
12349 # Tcl example
12350 set X [date]
12351 puts "The Date is: $X"
12352 @end example
12353 @item @b{``double-quoted-things''}
12354 @* @b{``double-quoted-things''} are just simply quoted
12355 text. $VARIABLES and [square-brackets] are expanded in place - the
12356 result however is exactly 1 string. @i{Remember Rule #1 - Everything
12357 is a string}
12358 @example
12359 set x "Dinner"
12360 puts "It is now \"[date]\", $x is in 1 hour"
12361 @end example
12362 @item @b{@{Curly-Braces@}}
12363 @*@b{@{Curly-Braces@}} are magic: $VARIABLES and [square-brackets] are
12364 parsed, but are NOT expanded or executed. @{Curly-Braces@} are like
12365 'single-quote' operators in BASH shell scripts, with the added
12366 feature: @{curly-braces@} can be nested, single quotes can not. @{@{@{this is
12367 nested 3 times@}@}@} NOTE: [date] is a bad example;
12368 at this writing, Jim/OpenOCD does not have a date command.
12369 @end itemize
12370
12371 @section Consequences of Rule 1/2/3/4
12372
12373 The consequences of Rule 1 are profound.
12374
12375 @subsection Tokenisation & Execution.
12376
12377 Of course, whitespace, blank lines and #comment lines are handled in
12378 the normal way.
12379
12380 As a script is parsed, each (multi) line in the script file is
12381 tokenised and according to the quoting rules. After tokenisation, that
12382 line is immediately executed.
12383
12384 Multi line statements end with one or more ``still-open''
12385 @{curly-braces@} which - eventually - closes a few lines later.
12386
12387 @subsection Command Execution
12388
12389 Remember earlier: There are no ``control flow''
12390 statements in Tcl. Instead there are COMMANDS that simply act like
12391 control flow operators.
12392
12393 Commands are executed like this:
12394
12395 @enumerate
12396 @item Parse the next line into (argc) and (argv[]).
12397 @item Look up (argv[0]) in a table and call its function.
12398 @item Repeat until End Of File.
12399 @end enumerate
12400
12401 It sort of works like this:
12402 @example
12403 for(;;)@{
12404 ReadAndParse( &argc, &argv );
12405
12406 cmdPtr = LookupCommand( argv[0] );
12407
12408 (*cmdPtr->Execute)( argc, argv );
12409 @}
12410 @end example
12411
12412 When the command ``proc'' is parsed (which creates a procedure
12413 function) it gets 3 parameters on the command line. @b{1} the name of
12414 the proc (function), @b{2} the list of parameters, and @b{3} the body
12415 of the function. Note the choice of words: LIST and BODY. The PROC
12416 command stores these items in a table somewhere so it can be found by
12417 ``LookupCommand()''
12418
12419 @subsection The FOR command
12420
12421 The most interesting command to look at is the FOR command. In Tcl,
12422 the FOR command is normally implemented in C. Remember, FOR is a
12423 command just like any other command.
12424
12425 When the ascii text containing the FOR command is parsed, the parser
12426 produces 5 parameter strings, @i{(If in doubt: Refer to Rule #1)} they
12427 are:
12428
12429 @enumerate 0
12430 @item The ascii text 'for'
12431 @item The start text
12432 @item The test expression
12433 @item The next text
12434 @item The body text
12435 @end enumerate
12436
12437 Sort of reminds you of ``main( int argc, char **argv )'' does it not?
12438 Remember @i{Rule #1 - Everything is a string.} The key point is this:
12439 Often many of those parameters are in @{curly-braces@} - thus the
12440 variables inside are not expanded or replaced until later.
12441
12442 Remember that every Tcl command looks like the classic ``main( argc,
12443 argv )'' function in C. In JimTCL - they actually look like this:
12444
12445 @example
12446 int
12447 MyCommand( Jim_Interp *interp,
12448 int *argc,
12449 Jim_Obj * const *argvs );
12450 @end example
12451
12452 Real Tcl is nearly identical. Although the newer versions have
12453 introduced a byte-code parser and interpreter, but at the core, it
12454 still operates in the same basic way.
12455
12456 @subsection FOR command implementation
12457
12458 To understand Tcl it is perhaps most helpful to see the FOR
12459 command. Remember, it is a COMMAND not a control flow structure.
12460
12461 In Tcl there are two underlying C helper functions.
12462
12463 Remember Rule #1 - You are a string.
12464
12465 The @b{first} helper parses and executes commands found in an ascii
12466 string. Commands can be separated by semicolons, or newlines. While
12467 parsing, variables are expanded via the quoting rules.
12468
12469 The @b{second} helper evaluates an ascii string as a numerical
12470 expression and returns a value.
12471
12472 Here is an example of how the @b{FOR} command could be
12473 implemented. The pseudo code below does not show error handling.
12474 @example
12475 void Execute_AsciiString( void *interp, const char *string );
12476
12477 int Evaluate_AsciiExpression( void *interp, const char *string );
12478
12479 int
12480 MyForCommand( void *interp,
12481 int argc,
12482 char **argv )
12483 @{
12484 if( argc != 5 )@{
12485 SetResult( interp, "WRONG number of parameters");
12486 return ERROR;
12487 @}
12488
12489 // argv[0] = the ascii string just like C
12490
12491 // Execute the start statement.
12492 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[1] );
12493
12494 // Top of loop test
12495 for(;;)@{
12496 i = Evaluate_AsciiExpression(interp, argv[2]);
12497 if( i == 0 )
12498 break;
12499
12500 // Execute the body
12501 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[3] );
12502
12503 // Execute the LOOP part
12504 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[4] );
12505 @}
12506
12507 // Return no error
12508 SetResult( interp, "" );
12509 return SUCCESS;
12510 @}
12511 @end example
12512
12513 Every other command IF, WHILE, FORMAT, PUTS, EXPR, everything works
12514 in the same basic way.
12515
12516 @section OpenOCD Tcl Usage
12517
12518 @subsection source and find commands
12519 @b{Where:} In many configuration files
12520 @* Example: @b{ source [find FILENAME] }
12521 @*Remember the parsing rules
12522 @enumerate
12523 @item The @command{find} command is in square brackets,
12524 and is executed with the parameter FILENAME. It should find and return
12525 the full path to a file with that name; it uses an internal search path.
12526 The RESULT is a string, which is substituted into the command line in
12527 place of the bracketed @command{find} command.
12528 (Don't try to use a FILENAME which includes the "#" character.
12529 That character begins Tcl comments.)
12530 @item The @command{source} command is executed with the resulting filename;
12531 it reads a file and executes as a script.
12532 @end enumerate
12533 @subsection format command
12534 @b{Where:} Generally occurs in numerous places.
12535 @* Tcl has no command like @b{printf()}, instead it has @b{format}, which is really more like
12536 @b{sprintf()}.
12537 @b{Example}
12538 @example
12539 set x 6
12540 set y 7
12541 puts [format "The answer: %d" [expr @{$x * $y@}]]
12542 @end example
12543 @enumerate
12544 @item The SET command creates 2 variables, X and Y.
12545 @item The double [nested] EXPR command performs math
12546 @* The EXPR command produces numerical result as a string.
12547 @* Refer to Rule #1
12548 @item The format command is executed, producing a single string
12549 @* Refer to Rule #1.
12550 @item The PUTS command outputs the text.
12551 @end enumerate
12552 @subsection Body or Inlined Text
12553 @b{Where:} Various TARGET scripts.
12554 @example
12555 #1 Good
12556 proc someproc @{@} @{
12557 ... multiple lines of stuff ...
12558 @}
12559 $_TARGETNAME configure -event FOO someproc
12560 #2 Good - no variables
12561 $_TARGETNAME configure -event foo "this ; that;"
12562 #3 Good Curly Braces
12563 $_TARGETNAME configure -event FOO @{
12564 puts "Time: [date]"
12565 @}
12566 #4 DANGER DANGER DANGER
12567 $_TARGETNAME configure -event foo "puts \"Time: [date]\""
12568 @end example
12569 @enumerate
12570 @item The $_TARGETNAME is an OpenOCD variable convention.
12571 @*@b{$_TARGETNAME} represents the last target created, the value changes
12572 each time a new target is created. Remember the parsing rules. When
12573 the ascii text is parsed, the @b{$_TARGETNAME} becomes a simple string,
12574 the name of the target which happens to be a TARGET (object)
12575 command.
12576 @item The 2nd parameter to the @option{-event} parameter is a TCBODY
12577 @*There are 4 examples:
12578 @enumerate
12579 @item The TCLBODY is a simple string that happens to be a proc name
12580 @item The TCLBODY is several simple commands separated by semicolons
12581 @item The TCLBODY is a multi-line @{curly-brace@} quoted string
12582 @item The TCLBODY is a string with variables that get expanded.
12583 @end enumerate
12584
12585 In the end, when the target event FOO occurs the TCLBODY is
12586 evaluated. Method @b{#1} and @b{#2} are functionally identical. For
12587 Method @b{#3} and @b{#4} it is more interesting. What is the TCLBODY?
12588
12589 Remember the parsing rules. In case #3, @{curly-braces@} mean the
12590 $VARS and [square-brackets] are expanded later, when the EVENT occurs,
12591 and the text is evaluated. In case #4, they are replaced before the
12592 ``Target Object Command'' is executed. This occurs at the same time
12593 $_TARGETNAME is replaced. In case #4 the date will never
12594 change. @{BTW: [date] is a bad example; at this writing,
12595 Jim/OpenOCD does not have a date command@}
12596 @end enumerate
12597 @subsection Global Variables
12598 @b{Where:} You might discover this when writing your own procs @* In
12599 simple terms: Inside a PROC, if you need to access a global variable
12600 you must say so. See also ``upvar''. Example:
12601 @example
12602 proc myproc @{ @} @{
12603 set y 0 #Local variable Y
12604 global x #Global variable X
12605 puts [format "X=%d, Y=%d" $x $y]
12606 @}
12607 @end example
12608 @section Other Tcl Hacks
12609 @b{Dynamic variable creation}
12610 @example
12611 # Dynamically create a bunch of variables.
12612 for @{ set x 0 @} @{ $x < 32 @} @{ set x [expr @{$x + 1@}]@} @{
12613 # Create var name
12614 set vn [format "BIT%d" $x]
12615 # Make it a global
12616 global $vn
12617 # Set it.
12618 set $vn [expr @{1 << $x@}]
12619 @}
12620 @end example
12621 @b{Dynamic proc/command creation}
12622 @example
12623 # One "X" function - 5 uart functions.
12624 foreach who @{A B C D E@}
12625 proc [format "show_uart%c" $who] @{ @} "show_UARTx $who"
