90 The Open On-Chip Debugger (OpenOCD) aims to provide debugging,
91 in-system programming and boundary-scan testing for embedded target
92 devices.
93
94 @b{JTAG:} OpenOCD uses a ``hardware interface dongle'' to communicate
95 with the JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) complient taps on your target board.
96
97 @b{Dongles:} OpenOCD currently many types of hardware dongles: USB
98 Based, Parallel Port Based, and other standalone boxes that run
99 OpenOCD internally. See the section titled: @xref{JTAG Hardware Dongles}.
100
101 @b{GDB Debug:} It allows ARM7 (ARM7TDMI and ARM720t), ARM9 (ARM920t,
102 ARM922t, ARM926ej--s, ARM966e--s), XScale (PXA25x, IXP42x) and
103 Cortex-M3 (Luminary Stellaris LM3 and ST STM32) based cores to be
104 debugged via the GDB Protocol.
105
106 @b{Flash Programing:} Flash writing is supported for external CFI
107 compatible flashes (Intel and AMD/Spansion command set) and several
108 internal flashes (LPC2000, AT91SAM7, STR7x, STR9x, LM3 and
109 STM32x). Preliminary support for using the LPC3180's NAND flash
110 controller is included.

116 OpenOCD was created by Dominic Rath as part of a diploma thesis written at the
117 University of Applied Sciences Augsburg (@uref{http://www.fh-augsburg.de}).
118 Others interested in improving the state of free and open debug and testing technology
119 are welcome to participate.
120
121 Other developers have contributed support for additional targets and flashes as well
122 as numerous bugfixes and enhancements. See the AUTHORS file for regular contributors.

128 @cindex building OpenOCD
129
130 If you are interested in getting actual work done rather than building
131 OpenOCD, then check if your interface supplier provides binaries for
132 you. Chances are that that binary is from some SVN version that is more
133 stable than SVN trunk where bleeding edge development takes place.
134
135
136 You can download the current SVN version with SVN client of your choice from the
137 following repositories:
138
139 (@uref{svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk})
140
141 or
142
143 (@uref{http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/openocd/trunk})
144
145 Using the SVN command line client, you can use the following command to fetch the
146 latest version (make sure there is no (non-svn) directory called "openocd" in the
147 current directory):
148
149 @example
150 svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk openocd
151 @end example
152
153 Building OpenOCD requires a recent version of the GNU autotools.
154 On my build system, I'm using autoconf 2.13 and automake 1.9. For building on Windows,
155 you have to use Cygwin. Make sure that your @env{PATH} environment variable contains no
156 other locations with Unix utils (like UnxUtils) - these can't handle the Cygwin
157 paths, resulting in obscure dependency errors (This is an observation I've gathered
158 from the logs of one user - correct me if I'm wrong).
159
160 You further need the appropriate driver files, if you want to build support for
161 a FTDI FT2232 based interface:
162 @itemize @bullet
163 @item @b{ftdi2232} libftdi (@uref{http://www.intra2net.com/opensource/ftdi/})
164 @item @b{ftd2xx} libftd2xx (@uref{http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm})
165 @item When using the Amontec JTAGkey, you have to get the drivers from the Amontec
166 homepage (@uref{www.amontec.com}), as the JTAGkey uses a non-standard VID/PID.
167 @end itemize
168
169 libftdi is supported under windows. Versions earlier than 0.13 will require patching.
170 see contrib/libftdi for more details.
171
172 In general, the D2XX driver provides superior performance (several times as fast),
173 but has the draw-back of being binary-only - though that isn't that bad, as it isn't
174 a kernel module, only a user space library.
175
176 To build OpenOCD (on both Linux and Cygwin), use the following commands:
177 @example
178 ./bootstrap
179 @end example
180 Bootstrap generates the configure script, and prepares building on your system.
181 @example
182 ./configure
183 @end example
184 Configure generates the Makefiles used to build OpenOCD.
185 @example
186 make
187 @end example
188 Make builds OpenOCD, and places the final executable in ./src/.
189
190 The configure script takes several options, specifying which JTAG interfaces
191 should be included:
192
193 @itemize @bullet
194 @item
195 @option{--enable-parport}
196 @item
197 @option{--enable-parport_ppdev}

204 @footnote{Using the latest D2XX drivers from FTDI and following their installation
205 instructions, I had to use @option{--enable-ft2232_libftd2xx} for OpenOCD to
206 build properly.}
207 @item
208 @option{--enable-ft2232_libftdi}
209 @item
210 @option{--with-ftd2xx=/path/to/d2xx/}
211 @item

219 @item
220 @option{--enable-jlink}
221 @item
222 @option{--enable-rlink}
223 @end itemize
224
225 If you want to access the parallel port using the PPDEV interface you have to specify
226 both the @option{--enable-parport} AND the @option{--enable-parport_ppdev} option since
227 the @option{--enable-parport_ppdev} option actually is an option to the parport driver
228 (see @uref{http://forum.sparkfun.com/viewtopic.php?t=3795} for more info).
229
230 Cygwin users have to specify the location of the FTDI D2XX package. This should be an
231 absolute path containing no spaces.
232
233 Linux users should copy the various parts of the D2XX package to the appropriate
234 locations, i.e. /usr/include, /usr/lib.

263
264 There are three things you should keep in mind when choosing a dongle.
265
266 @enumerate
267 @item @b{Voltage} What voltage is your target? 1.8, 2.8, 3.3, or 5V? Does your dongle support it?
268 @item @b{Connection} Printer Ports - Does your computer have one?
269 @item @b{Connection} Is that long printer bit-bang cable practical?
270 @item @b{RTCK} Do you require RTCK? Also known as ``adaptive clocking''

278 @section USB FT2232 Based
279
280 There are many USB jtag dongles on the market, many of them are based
281 on a chip from ``Future Technology Devices International'' (FTDI)
282 known as the FTDI FT2232.

429
430 By default OpenOCD reads the file configuration file ``openocd.cfg''
431 in the current directory. To specify a different (or multiple)
432 configuration file, you can use the ``-f'' option. For example:
433
434 @example
435 openocd -f config1.cfg -f config2.cfg -f config3.cfg
436 @end example
437
438 Once started, OpenOCD runs as a daemon, waiting for connections from
439 clients (Telnet, GDB, Other).
440
441 If you are having problems, you can enable internal debug messages via
442 the ``-d'' option.
443
444 Also it is possible to interleave commands w/config scripts using the
445 @option{-c} command line switch.
446
447 To enable debug output (when reporting problems or working on OpenOCD
448 itself), use the @option{-d} command line switch. This sets the
449 @option{debug_level} to "3", outputting the most information,
450 including debug messages. The default setting is "2", outputting only
451 informational messages, warnings and errors. You can also change this
452 setting from within a telnet or gdb session using @option{debug_level
453 <n>} @xref{debug_level}.
454
455 You can redirect all output from the daemon to a file using the
456 @option{-l <logfile>} switch.
457
458 Search paths for config/script files can be added to OpenOCD by using
459 the @option{-s <search>} switch. The current directory and the OpenOCD
460 target library is in the search path by default.
461
462 For details on the @option{-p} option. @xref{Connecting to GDB}.
463 Option @option{-p} is not currently supported under native win32.
464
465 Note! OpenOCD will launch the GDB & telnet server even if it can not
466 establish a connection with the target. In general, it is possible for
467 the JTAG controller to be unresponsive until the target is set up
468 correctly via e.g. GDB monitor commands in a GDB init script.

474 @section Outline
475 There are 4 basic ways of ``configurating'' OpenOCD to run, they are:
476
477 @enumerate
478 @item A small openocd.cfg file which ``sources'' other configuration files
479 @item A monolithic openocd.cfg file
480 @item Many -f filename options on the command line
481 @item Your Mixed Solution
482 @end enumerate
483
484 @section Small configuration file method
485
486 This is the prefered method, it is simple and is works well for many
487 people. The developers of OpenOCD would encourage you to use this
488 method. If you create a new configuration please email new
489 configurations to the development list.
490
491 Here is an example of an openocd.cfg file for an ATMEL at91sam7x256
492
493 @example
494 source [find interface/signalyzer.cfg]
495
496 # Change the default telnet port...
497 telnet_port 4444
498 # GDB connects here
499 gdb_port 3333
500 # GDB can also flash my flash!
501 gdb_memory_map enable
502 gdb_flash_program enable
503
504 source [find target/sam7x256.cfg]
505 @end example
506
507 There are many example configuration scripts you can work with. You
508 should look in the directory: @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/lib/openocd}. You
509 should find:
510
511 @enumerate
512 @item @b{board} - eval board level configurations
513 @item @b{interface} - specific dongle configurations
514 @item @b{target} - the target chips
515 @item @b{tcl} - helper scripts
516 @item @b{xscale} - things specific to the xscale.
517 @end enumerate
518
519 Look first in the ``boards'' area, then the ``targets'' area. Often a board
520 configuration is a good example to work from.
521
522 @section Many -f filename options
523 Some believe this is a wonderful solution, others find it painful.
524
525 You can use a series of ``-f filename'' options on the command line,
526 OpenOCD will read each filename in sequence, for example:
527
528 @example
529 openocd -f file1.cfg -f file2.cfg -f file2.cfg
530 @end example
531
532 You can also intermix various commands with the ``-c'' command line
533 option.

535 @section Monolithic file
536 The ``Monolithic File'' dispenses with all ``source'' statements and
537 puts everything in one self contained (monolithic) file. This is not
538 encouraged.
539
540 Please try to ``source'' various files or use the multiple -f
541 technique.
542
543 @section Advice for you
544 Often, one uses a ``mixed approach''. Where possible, please try to
545 ``source'' common things, and if needed cut/paste parts of the
546 standard distribution configuration files as needed.
547
548 @b{REMEMBER:} The ``important parts'' of your configuration file are:
549
550 @enumerate
551 @item @b{Interface} - Defines the dongle
552 @item @b{Taps} - Defines the JTAG Taps
553 @item @b{GDB Targets} - What GDB talks to
554 @item @b{Flash Programing} - Very Helpful
555 @end enumerate
556
557 Some key things you should look at and understand are:
558
559 @enumerate
560 @item The RESET configuration of your debug environment as a hole
561 @item Is there a ``work area'' that OpenOCD can use?
562 @* For ARM - work areas mean up to 10x faster downloads.
563 @item For MMU/MPU based ARM chips (ie: ARM9 and later) will that work area still be available?
564 @item For complex targets (multiple chips) the JTAG SPEED becomes an issue.

569 @node Config File Guidelines
570 @chapter Config File Guidelines
571
572 This section/chapter is aimed at developers and integrators of
573 OpenOCD. These are guidelines for creating new boards and new target
574 configurations as of 28/Nov/2008.
575
576 However, you the user of OpenOCD should be some what familiar with
577 this section as it should help explain some of the internals of what
578 you might be looking at.
579
580 The user should find under @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/lib/openocd} the
581 following directories:
582
583 @itemize @bullet
584 @item @b{interface}
585 @*Think JTAG Dongle. Files that configure the jtag dongle go here.
586 @item @b{board}
587 @* Thing Circuit Board, PWA, PCB, they go by many names. Board files
588 contain initialization items that are specific to a board - for
589 example: The SDRAM initialization sequence for the board, or the type
590 of external flash and what address it is found at. Any initialization
591 sequence to enable that external flash or sdram should be found in the
592 board file. Boards may also contain multiple targets, ie: Two cpus, or
593 a CPU and an FPGA or CPLD.
594 @item @b{target}
595 @* Think CHIP. The ``target'' directory represents a jtag tap (or
596 chip) OpenOCD should control, not a board. Two common types of targets
597 are ARM chips and FPGA or CPLD chips.
598 @end itemize
599
600 @b{If needed...} The user in their ``openocd.cfg'' file or the board
601 file might override a specific feature in any of the above files by
602 setting a variable or two before sourcing the target file. Or adding
603 various commands specific to their situation.
604
605 @section Interface Config Files
606
607 The user should be able to source one of these files via a command like this:
608
609 @example
610 source [find interface/FOOBAR.cfg]
611 Or:
612 openocd -f interface/FOOBAR.cfg
613 @end example
614
615 A preconfigured interface file should exist for every interface in use
616 today, that said, perhaps some interfaces have only been used by the
617 sole developer who created it.
618
619 @b{FIXME/NOTE:} We need to add support for a variable like TCL variable
620 tcl_platform(platform), it should be called jim_platform (because it
621 is jim, not real tcl) and it should contain 1 of 3 words: ``linux'',
622 ``cygwin'' or ``mingw''
623
624 Interface files should be found in @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/lib/openocd/interface}
625
626 @section Board Config Files
627
628 @b{Note: BOARD directory NEW as of 28/nov/2008}
629
630 The user should be able to source one of these files via a command like this:
631
632 @example
633 source [find board/FOOBAR.cfg]
634 Or:
635 openocd -f board/FOOBAR.cfg
636 @end example
637
638
639 The board file should contain one or more @t{source [find
640 target/FOO.cfg]} statements along with any board specific things.
641
642 In summery the board files should contain (if present)
643
644 @enumerate
645 @item External flash configuration (ie: the flash on CS0)
646 @item SDRAM configuration (size, speed, etc)
647 @item Board specific IO configuration (ie: GPIO pins might disable a 2nd flash)
648 @item Multiple TARGET source statements
649 @item All things that are not ``inside a chip''
650 @item Things inside a chip go in a 'target' file
651 @end enumerate
652
653 @section Target Config Files
654
655 The user should be able to source one of these files via a command like this:
656
657 @example
658 source [find target/FOOBAR.cfg]
659 Or:
660 openocd -f target/FOOBAR.cfg
661 @end example
662
663 In summery the target files should contain
664
665 @enumerate
666 @item Set Defaults
667 @item Create Taps
668 @item Reset Configuration
669 @item Work Areas
670 @item CPU/Chip/CPU-Core Specific features
671 @item OnChip Flash
672 @end enumerate
673
674 @subsection Important variable names
675
676 By default, the end user should never need to set these
677 variables. However, if the user needs to override a setting they only
678 need to set the variable in a simple way.
679
680 @itemize @bullet
681 @item @b{CHIPNAME}
682 @* This gives a name to the overall chip, and is used as part of the
683 tap identifier dotted name.
684 @item @b{ENDIAN}
685 @* By default little - unless the chip or board is not normally used that way.
686 @item @b{CPUTAPID}
687 @* When OpenOCD examines the JTAG chain, it will attempt to identify
688 every chip. If the @t{-expected-id} is nonzero, OpenOCD attempts
689 to verify the tap id number verses configuration file and may issue an
690 error or warning like this. The hope is this will help pin point
691 problem OpenOCD configurations.
692
693 @example
694 Info: JTAG tap: sam7x256.cpu tap/device found: 0x3f0f0f0f (Manufacturer: 0x787, Part: 0xf0f0, Version: 0x3)
695 Error: ERROR: Tap: sam7x256.cpu - Expected id: 0x12345678, Got: 0x3f0f0f0f
696 Error: ERROR: expected: mfg: 0x33c, part: 0x2345, ver: 0x1
697 Error: ERROR: got: mfg: 0x787, part: 0xf0f0, ver: 0x3
698 @end example
699
700 @item @b{_TARGETNAME}
701 @* By convention, this variable is created by the target configuration
702 script. The board configuration file may make use of this variable to
703 configure things like a ``reset init'' script, or other things
704 specific to that board and that target.
705
706 If the chip has 2 targets, use the names @b{_TARGETNAME0},
707 @b{_TARGETNAME1}, ... etc.
708
709 @b{Remember:} The ``board file'' may include multiple targets.
710
711 At no time should the name ``target0'' (the default target name if
712 none was specified) be used. The name ``target0'' is a hard coded name
713 - the next target on the board will be some other number.
714
715 The user (or board file) should reasonably be able to:
716
717 @example
718 source [find target/FOO.cfg]
719 $_TARGETNAME configure ... FOO specific parameters
720
721 source [find target/BAR.cfg]
722 $_TARGETNAME configure ... BAR specific parameters
723 @end example
724
725 @end itemize
726
727 @subsection TCL Variables Guide Line
728 The Full Tcl/Tk language supports ``namespaces'' - JIM-Tcl does not.
729
730 Thus the rule we follow in OpenOCD is this: Variables that begin with
731 a leading underscore are temporal in nature, and can be modified and
732 used at will within a ?TARGET? configuration file
733
734 @b{EXAMPLE:} The user should be able to do this:
735
736 @example
737 # Board has 3 chips,
738 # PXA270 #1 network side, big endian
739 # PXA270 #2 video side, little endian
740 # Xilinx Glue logic
741 set CHIPNAME network
742 set ENDIAN big
743 source [find target/pxa270.cfg]
744 # variable: _TARGETNAME = network.cpu
745 # other commands can refer to the "network.cpu" tap.
746 $_TARGETNAME configure .... params for this cpu..
747
748 set ENDIAN little
749 set CHIPNAME video
750 source [find target/pxa270.cfg]
751 # variable: _TARGETNAME = video.cpu
752 # other commands can refer to the "video.cpu" tap.
753 $_TARGETNAME configure .... params for this cpu..
754
755 unset ENDIAN
756 set CHIPNAME xilinx
757 source [find target/spartan3.cfg]
758
759 # Since $_TARGETNAME is temporal..
760 # these names still work!
761 network.cpu configure ... params
762 video.cpu configure ... params
763
764 @end example
765
766 @subsection Default Value Boiler Plate Code
767
768 All target configuration files should start with this (or a modified form)
769
770 @example
771 # SIMPLE example
772 if @{ [info exists CHIPNAME] @} @{
773 set _CHIPNAME $CHIPNAME
774 @} else @{
775 set _CHIPNAME sam7x256
776 @}
777
778 if @{ [info exists ENDIAN] @} @{
779 set _ENDIAN $ENDIAN
780 @} else @{
781 set _ENDIAN little
782 @}
783
784 if @{ [info exists CPUTAPID ] @} @{
785 set _CPUTAPID $CPUTAPID
786 @} else @{
787 set _CPUTAPID 0x3f0f0f0f
788 @}
789
790 @end example
791
792 @subsection Creating Taps
793 After the ``defaults'' are choosen, [see above], the taps are created.
794
795 @b{SIMPLE example:} such as an Atmel AT91SAM7X256
796
797 @example
798 # for an ARM7TDMI.
799 set _TARGETNAME [format "%s.cpu" $_CHIPNAME]
800 jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME cpu -irlen 4 -ircapture 0x1 -irmask 0xf -expected-id $_CPUTAPID
801 @end example
802
803 @b{COMPLEX example:}
804
805 This is an SNIP/example for an STR912 - which has 3 internal taps. Key features shown:
806
807 @enumerate
808 @item @b{Unform tap names} - See: Tap Naming Convention
809 @item @b{_TARGETNAME} is created at the end where used.
810 @end enumerate
811
812 @example
813 if @{ [info exists FLASHTAPID ] @} @{
814 set _FLASHTAPID $FLASHTAPID
815 @} else @{
816 set _FLASHTAPID 0x25966041
817 @}
818 jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME flash -irlen 8 -ircapture 0x1 -irmask 0x1 -expected-id $_FLASHTAPID
819
820 if @{ [info exists CPUTAPID ] @} @{
821 set _CPUTAPID $CPUTAPID
822 @} else @{
823 set _CPUTAPID 0x25966041
824 @}
825 jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME cpu -irlen 4 -ircapture 0xf -irmask 0xe -expected-id $_CPUTAPID
826
827
828 if @{ [info exists BSTAPID ] @} @{
829 set _BSTAPID $BSTAPID
830 @} else @{
831 set _BSTAPID 0x1457f041
832 @}
833 jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME bs -irlen 5 -ircapture 0x1 -irmask 0x1 -expected-id $_BSTAPID
834
835 set _TARGETNAME [format "%s.cpu" $_CHIPNAME]
836 @end example
837
838 @b{Tap Naming Convention}
839
840 See the command ``jtag newtap'' for detail, but in breif the names you should use are:
841
842 @itemize @bullet
843 @item @b{tap}
844 @item @b{cpu}
845 @item @b{flash}
846 @item @b{bs}
847 @item @b{jrc}
848 @item @b{unknownN} - it happens :-(
849 @end itemize
850
851 @subsection Reset Configuration
852
853 Some chips have specific ways the TRST and SRST signals are
854 managed. If these are @b{CHIP SPECIFIC} they go here, if they are
855 @b{BOARD SPECIFIC} they go in the board file.
856
857 @subsection Work Areas
858
859 Work areas are small RAM areas used by OpenOCD to speed up downloads,
860 and to download small snippits of code to program flash chips.
861
862 If the chip includes an form of ``on-chip-ram'' - and many do - define
863 a reasonable work area and use the ``backup'' option.
864
865 @b{PROBLEMS:} On more complex chips, this ``work area'' may become
866 inaccessable if/when the application code enables or disables the MMU.
867
868 @subsection ARM Core Specific Hacks
869
870 If the chip has a DCC, enable it. If the chip is an arm9 with some
871 special high speed download - enable it.
872
873 If the chip has an ARM ``vector catch'' feature - by defeault enable
874 it for Undefined Instructions, Data Abort, and Prefetch Abort, if the
875 user is really writing a handler for those situations - they can
876 easily disable it. Experiance has shown the ``vector catch'' is
877 helpful - for common programing errors.
878
879 If present, the MMU, the MPU and the CACHE should be disabled.
880
881 @subsection Internal Flash Configuration
882
883 This applies @b{ONLY TO MICROCONTROLLERS} that have flash built in.
884
885 @b{Never ever} in the ``target configuration file'' define any type of
886 flash that is external to the chip. (For example the BOOT flash on
887 Chip Select 0). The BOOT flash information goes in a board file - not
888 the TARGET (chip) file.
889
890 Examples:
891 @itemize @bullet
892 @item at91sam7x256 - has 256K flash YES enable it.
893 @item str912 - has flash internal YES enable it.
894 @item imx27 - uses boot flash on CS0 - it goes in the board file.
895 @item pxa270 - again - CS0 flash - it goes in the board file.

898 @node About JIM-Tcl
899 @chapter About JIM-Tcl
900 @cindex JIM Tcl
901 @cindex tcl
902
903 OpenOCD includes a small ``TCL Interpreter'' known as JIM-TCL. You can
904 learn more about JIM here: @url{http://jim.berlios.de}
905
906 @itemize @bullet
907 @item @b{JIM vrs TCL}
908 @* JIM-TCL is a stripped down version of the well known Tcl language,
909 which can be found here: @url{http://www.tcl.tk}. JIM-Tcl has far
910 fewer features. JIM-Tcl is a single .C file and a single .H file and
911 impliments the basic TCL command set along. In contrast: Tcl 8.6 is a
912 4.2MEG zip file containing 1540 files.
913
914 @item @b{Missing Features}
915 @* Our practice has been: Add/clone the Real TCL feature if/when
916 needed. We welcome JIM Tcl improvements, not bloat.
917
918 @item @b{Scripts}
919 @* OpenOCD configuration scripts are JIM Tcl Scripts. OpenOCD's
920 command interpretor today (28/nov/2008) is a mixture of (newer)
921 JIM-Tcl commands, and (older) the orginal command interpretor.
922
923 @item @b{Commands}
924 @* At the OpenOCD telnet command line (or via the GDB mon command) one
925 can type a Tcl for() loop, set variables, etc.
926
927 @item @b{Historical Note}
928 @* JIM-Tcl was introduced to OpenOCD in Spring 2008.

935 @node Daemon Configuration
936 @chapter Daemon Configuration
937 The commands here are commonly found in the openocd.cfg file and are
938 used to specify what TCP/IP ports are used, and how GDB should be
939 supported.
940 @section init
941 @cindex init
942 This command terminates the configuration stage and
943 enters the normal command mode. This can be useful to add commands to
944 the startup scripts and commands such as resetting the target,
945 programming flash, etc. To reset the CPU upon startup, add "init" and
946 "reset" at the end of the config script or at the end of the OpenOCD
947 command line using the @option{-c} command line switch.
948
949 If this command does not appear in any startup/configuration file
950 OpenOCD executes the command for you after processing all
951 configuration files and/or command line options.
952
953 @b{NOTE:} This command normally occurs at or near the end of your
954 openocd.cfg file to force OpenOCD to ``initialize'' and make the
955 targets ready. For example: If your openocd.cfg file needs to
956 read/write memory on your target - the init command must occur before
957 the memory read/write commands.

984 The raison d'etre for this option is to support GDB GUI's without
985 a hard/soft breakpoint concept where the default OpenOCD and
986 GDB behaviour is not sufficient. Note that GDB will use hardware

1234
1235 It is debatable if this command belongs here - or in a board
1236 configuration file. In fact, in some situations the jtag speed is
1237 changed during the target initialization process (ie: (1) slow at
1238 reset, (2) program the cpu clocks, (3) run fast)
1239
1240 Speed 0 (khz) selects RTCK method. A non-zero speed is in KHZ. Hence: 3000 is 3mhz.
1241
1242 Not all interfaces support ``rtck''. If the interface device can not
1243 support the rate asked for, or can not translate from kHz to
1244 jtag_speed, then an error is returned.
1245
1246 Make sure the jtag clock is no more than @math{1/6th × CPU-Clock}. This is
1247 especially true for synthesized cores (-S). Also see RTCK.
1248
1249 @b{NOTE: Script writers} If the target chip requires/uses RTCK -
1250 please use the command: 'jtag_rclk FREQ'. This TCL proc (in
1251 startup.tcl) attempts to enable RTCK, if that fails it falls back to
1252 the specified frequency.

1302
1303 @b{Note:} To maintainer types and integrators. Where exactly the
1304 ``reset configuration'' goes is a good question. It touches several
1305 things at once. In the end, if you have a board file - the board file
1306 should define it and assume 100% that the DONGLE supports
1307 anything. However, that does not mean the target should not also make
1308 not of something the silicon vendor has done inside the
1309 chip. @i{Grr.... nothing is every pretty.}
1310
1311 @* @b{Problems:}
1312 @enumerate
1313 @item Every JTAG Dongle is slightly different, some dongles impliment reset differently.
1314 @item Every board is also slightly different; some boards tie TRST and SRST together.
1315 @item Every chip is slightly different; some chips internally tie the two signals together.
1316 @item Some may not impliment all of the signals the same way.
1317 @item Some signals might be push-pull, others open-drain/collector.
1318 @end enumerate
1319 @b{Best Case:} OpenOCD can hold the SRST (push-button-reset), then
1320 reset the TAP via TRST and send commands through the JTAG tap to halt
1321 the CPU at the reset vector before the 1st instruction is executed,
1322 and finally release the SRST signal.
1323 @*Depending upon your board vendor, your chip vendor, etc, these
1324 signals may have slightly different names.
1325
1326 OpenOCD defines these signals in these terms:
1327 @itemize @bullet
1328 @item @b{TRST} - is Tap Reset - and should reset only the TAP.
1329 @item @b{SRST} - is System Reset - typically equal to a reset push button.

1336 @cindex reset_config
1337 @* The @t{reset_config} command tells OpenOCD the reset configuration
1338 of your combination of Dongle, Board, and Chips.
1339 If the JTAG interface provides SRST, but the target doesn't connect
1340 that signal properly, then OpenOCD can't use it. <@var{signals}> can
1341 be @option{none}, @option{trst_only}, @option{srst_only} or
1342 @option{trst_and_srst}.
1343
1344 [@var{combination}] is an optional value specifying broken reset
1345 signal implementations. @option{srst_pulls_trst} states that the
1346 testlogic is reset together with the reset of the system (e.g. Philips
1347 LPC2000, "broken" board layout), @option{trst_pulls_srst} says that
1348 the system is reset together with the test logic (only hypothetical, I
1349 haven't seen hardware with such a bug, and can be worked around).
1350 @option{combined} imples both @option{srst_pulls_trst} and
1351 @option{trst_pulls_srst}. The default behaviour if no option given is
1352 @option{separate}.
1353
1354 The [@var{trst_type}] and [@var{srst_type}] parameters allow the
1355 driver type of the reset lines to be specified. Possible values are
1356 @option{trst_push_pull} (default) and @option{trst_open_drain} for the
1357 test reset signal, and @option{srst_open_drain} (default) and
1358 @option{srst_push_pull} for the system reset. These values only affect
1359 JTAG interfaces with support for different drivers, like the Amontec

1374
1375 Commands to create taps are normally found in a configuration file and
1376 are not normally typed by a human.
1377
1378 When a tap is created a @b{dotted.name} is created for the tap. Other
1379 commands use that dotted.name to manipulate or refer to the tap.

1543 These commands are used when your target has a JTAG Route controller
1544 that effectively adds or removes a tap from the jtag chain in a
1545 non-standard way.
1546
1547 The ``standard way'' to remove a tap would be to place the tap in
1548 bypass mode. But with the advent of modern chips, this is not always a
1549 good solution. Some taps operate slowly, others operate fast, and
1550 there are other JTAG clock syncronization problems one must face. To
1551 solve that problem, the JTAG Route controller was introduced. Rather
1552 then ``bypass'' the tap, the tap is completely removed from the
1553 circuit and skipped.
1554
1555
1556 From OpenOCD's view point, a JTAG TAP is in one of 3 states:
1557
1558 @itemize @bullet
1559 @item @b{Enabled - Not In ByPass} and has a variable bit length
1560 @item @b{Enabled - In ByPass} and has a length of exactly 1 bit.
1561 @item @b{Disabled} and has a length of ZERO and is removed from the circuit.
1562 @end itemize
1563
1564 The IEEE JTAG definition has no concept of a ``disabled'' tap.
1565 @b{Historical note:} this feature was added 28/nov/2008
1566
1567 @b{jtag tapisenabled DOTTED.NAME}
1568
1569 This command returns 1 if the named tap is currently enabled, 0 if not.
1570 This command exists so that scripts that manipulate a JRC (like the
1571 Omap3530 has) can determine if OpenOCD thinks a tap is presently
1572 enabled, or disabled.

1575 @node Target Configuration
1576 @chapter Target Configuration
1577
1578 This chapter discusses how to create a GDB Debug Target. Before
1579 creating a ``target'' a JTAG Tap DOTTED.NAME must exist first.
1580
1581 @section targets [NAME]
1582 @b{Note:} This command name is PLURAL - not singular.
1583
1584 With NO parameter, this plural @b{targets} command lists all known
1585 targets in a human friendly form.
1586
1587 With a parameter, this pural @b{targets} command sets the current
1588 target to the given name. (ie: If there are multiple debug targets)
1589
1590 Example:
1591 @verbatim
1592 (gdb) mon targets
1593 CmdName Type Endian ChainPos State
1594 -- ---------- ---------- ---------- -------- ----------
1595 0: target0 arm7tdmi little 0 halted
1596 @end verbatim
1597
1598 @section target COMMANDS
1599 @b{Note:} This command name is SINGULAR - not plural. It is used to
1600 manipulate specific targets, to create targets and other things.
1601
1602 Once a target is created, a TARGETNAME (object) command is created;
1603 see below for details.
1604
1605 The TARGET command accepts these sub-commands:
1606 @itemize @bullet
1607 @item @b{create} .. parameters ..
1608 @* creates a new target, See below for details.
1609 @item @b{types}
1610 @* Lists all supported target types (perhaps some are not yet in this document).
1611 @item @b{names}
1612 @* Lists all current debug target names, for example: 'str912.cpu' or 'pxa27.cpu' example usage:
1613 @verbatim
1614 foreach t [target names] {
1615 puts [format "Target: %s\n" $t]
1616 }
1617 @end verbatim
1618 @item @b{current}
1619 @* Returns the current target. OpenOCD always has, or refers to the ``current target'' in some way.
1620 By default, commands like: ``mww'' (used to write memory) operate on the current target.
1621 @item @b{number} @b{NUMBER}
1622 @* Internally OpenOCD maintains a list of targets - in numerical index
1623 (0..N-1) this command returns the name of the target at index N.
1624 Example usage:
1625 @verbatim
1626 set thename [target number $x]
1627 puts [format "Target %d is: %s\n" $x $thename]
1628 @end verbatim
1629 @item @b{count}
1630 @* Returns the number of targets known to OpenOCD (see number above)
1631 Example:
1632 @verbatim
1633 set c [target count]
1634 for { set x 0 } { $x < $c } { incr x } {
1635 # Assuming you have created this function
1636 print_target_details $x
1637 }
1638 @end verbatim
1639
1640 @end itemize
1641
1642 @section TARGETNAME (object) commands
1643 @b{Use:} Once a target is created, an ``object name'' that represents the
1644 target is created. By convention, the target name is identical to the
1645 tap name. In a multiple target system, one can preceed many common
1646 commands with a specific target name and effect only that target.
1647 @example
1648 str912.cpu mww 0x1234 0x42
1649 omap3530.cpu mww 0x5555 123
1650 @end example
1651
1652 @b{Model:} The Tcl/Tk language has the concept of object commands. A
1653 good example is a on screen button, once a button is created a button
1654 has a name (a path in TK terms) and that name is useable as a 1st
1655 class command. For example in TK, one can create a button and later
1656 configure it like this:
1657
1658 @example
1659 # Create
1660 button .foobar -background red -command @{ foo @}
1661 # Modify
1662 .foobar configure -foreground blue
1663 # Query
1664 set x [.foobar cget -background]
1665 # Report
1666 puts [format "The button is %s" $x]
1667 @end example
1668
1669 In OpenOCD's terms, the ``target'' is an object just like a Tcl/Tk
1670 button. Commands avaialble as a ``target object'' are:
1671
1672 @comment START targetobj commands.
1673 @itemize @bullet
1674 @item @b{configure} - configure the target; see Target Config/Cget Options below
1675 @item @b{cget} - query the target configuration; see Target Config/Cget Options below
1676 @item @b{curstate} - current target state (running, halt, etc)
1677 @item @b{eventlist}
1678 @* Intended for a human to see/read the currently configure target events.

1713 @end itemize
1714
1715 @section Target Events
1716 At various times, certain things can happen, or you want them to happen.
1717
1718 Examples:
1719 @itemize @bullet
1720 @item What should happen when GDB connects? Should your target reset?
1721 @item When GDB tries to flash the target, do you need to enable the flash via a special command?
1722 @item During reset, do you need to write to certain memory location to reconfigure the SDRAM?
1723 @end itemize
1724
1725 All of the above items are handled by target events.
1726
1727 To specify an event action, either during target creation, or later
1728 via ``$_TARGETNAME configure'' see this example.
1729
1730 Syntactially, the option is: ``-event NAME BODY'' where NAME is a
1731 target event name, and BODY is a tcl procedure or string of commands
1732 to execute.
1733
1734 The programmers model is the ``-command'' option used in Tcl/Tk
1735 buttons and events. Below are two identical examples, the first
1736 creates and invokes small procedure. The second inlines the procedure.
1737
1738 @example
1739 proc my_attach_proc @{ @} @{
1740 puts "RESET...."
1741 reset halt
1742 @}
1743 mychip.cpu configure -event gdb-attach my_attach_proc

1924 This command specifies a working area for the debugger to use. This
1925 may be used to speed-up downloads to target memory and flash
1926 operations, or to perform otherwise unavailable operations (some
1927 coprocessor operations on ARM7/9 systems, for example). The last

1929 (<@var{backup}>) or can simply be overwritten (<@var{nobackup}>). If
1930 possible, use a working_area that doesn't need to be backed up, as

2033 The @b{flash bank} command is used to configure one or more flash chips (or banks in OpenOCD terms)
2034
2035 @example
2036 @b{flash bank} <@var{driver}> <@var{base}> <@var{size}> <@var{chip_width}>
2037 <@var{bus_width}> <@var{target#}> [@var{driver_options ...}]
2038 @end example
2039 @cindex flash bank
2040 @*Configures a flash bank at <@var{base}> of <@var{size}> bytes and <@var{chip_width}>
2041 and <@var{bus_width}> bytes using the selected flash <driver>.
2042
2043 @subsection External Flash - cfi options
2044 @cindex cfi options
2045 CFI flash are external flash chips - often they are connected to a
2046 specific chip select on the micro. By default at hard reset most
2047 micros have the ablity to ``boot'' from some flash chip - typically
2048 attached to the chips CS0 pin.
2049
2050 For other chip selects: OpenOCD does not know how to configure, or
2051 access a specific chip select. Instead you the human might need to via
2052 other commands (like: mww) configure additional chip selects, or
2053 perhaps configure a GPIO pin that controls the ``write protect'' pin
2054 on the FLASH chip.
2055
2056 @b{flash bank cfi} <@var{base}> <@var{size}> <@var{chip_width}> <@var{bus_width}>
2057 <@var{target#}> [@var{jedec_probe}|@var{x16_as_x8}]
2058 @*CFI flashes require the number of the target they're connected to as an additional
2059 argument. The CFI driver makes use of a working area (specified for the target)
2060 to significantly speed up operation.
2061
2062 @var{chip_width} and @var{bus_width} are specified in bytes.
2063
2064 The @var{jedec_probe} option is used to detect certain non-CFI flash roms, like AM29LV010 and similar types.

2076 or @var{lpc2000_v2} (LPC213x, LPC214x, LPC210[123], LPC23xx and LPC24xx), the number
2077 of the target this flash belongs to (first is 0), the frequency at which the core
2078 is currently running (in kHz - must be an integral number), and the optional keyword

2158 controller handles erases automatically on a page (128/265 byte) basis so erase is
2159 not necessary for flash programming. AT91SAM7 processors with less than 512K flash
2160 only have a single flash bank embedded on chip. AT91SAM7xx512 have two flash planes
2161 that can be erased separatly. Only an EraseAll command is supported by the controller

2188 @cindex str9xpec unlock
2189 @*unlock str9 device.

2194 @cindex str9xpec options_write
2195 @*write str9 option bytes.
2196 @end itemize
2197
2198 Note: Before using the str9xpec driver here is some background info to help
2199 you better understand how the drivers works. OpenOCD has two flash drivers for
2200 the str9.
2201 @enumerate
2202 @item
2203 Standard driver @option{str9x} programmed via the str9 core. Normally used for
2204 flash programming as it is faster than the @option{str9xpec} driver.
2205 @item
2206 Direct programming @option{str9xpec} using the flash controller, this is
2207 ISC compilant (IEEE 1532) tap connected in series with the str9 core. The str9
2208 core does not need to be running to program using this flash driver. Typical use
2209 for this driver is locking/unlocking the target and programming the option bytes.
2210 @end enumerate
2211
2212 Before we run any cmds using the @option{str9xpec} driver we must first disable
2213 the str9 core. This example assumes the @option{str9xpec} driver has been
2214 configured for flash bank 0.
2215 @example
2216 # assert srst, we do not want core running
2217 # while accessing str9xpec flash driver
2218 jtag_reset 0 1
2219 # turn off target polling
2220 poll off
2221 # disable str9 core
2222 str9xpec enable_turbo 0
2223 # read option bytes
2224 str9xpec options_read 0
2225 # re-enable str9 core
2226 str9xpec disable_turbo 0
2227 poll on
2228 reset halt
2229 @end example
2230 The above example will read the str9 option bytes.
2231 When performing a unlock remember that you will not be able to halt the str9 - it
2232 has been locked. Halting the core is not required for the @option{str9xpec} driver
2233 as mentioned above, just issue the cmds above manually or from a telnet prompt.

2316 or via one of several Tcp/Ip Ports.
2317
2318 @item @b{From the human}
2319 @* A human should interact with the Telnet interface (default port: 4444,
2320 or via GDB, default port 3333)
2321
2322 To issue commands from within a GDB session, use the @option{monitor}
2323 command, e.g. use @option{monitor poll} to issue the @option{poll}
2324 command. All output is relayed through the GDB session.

2351 @cindex fast
2352 @*Default disabled. Set default behaviour of OpenOCD to be "fast and dangerous". For instance ARM7/9 DCC memory
2353 downloads and fast memory access will work if the JTAG interface isn't too fast and
2354 the core doesn't run at a too low frequency. Note that this option only changes the default
2355 and that the indvidual options, like DCC memory downloads, can be enabled and disabled
2356 individually.
2357
2358 The target specific "dangerous" optimisation tweaking options may come and go
2359 as more robust and user friendly ways are found to ensure maximum throughput
2360 and robustness with a minimum of configuration.
2361
2362 Typically the "fast enable" is specified first on the command line:

2495 can be a way to upload e.g. multiple debug sessions when the binary does not change.
2496 Arguments as @b{load_image}, but image is stored in OpenOCD host
2497 memory, i.e. does not affect target. This approach is also useful when profiling
2498 target programming performance as IO and target programming can easily be profiled
2499 seperately.

2775 @cindex TFTP
2776 If OpenOCD runs on an embedded host(as ZY1000 does), then tftp can
2777 be used to access files on PCs(either developer PC or some other PC).
2778
2779 The way this works on the ZY1000 is to prefix a filename by
2780 "/tftp/ip/" and append the tftp path on the tftp
2781 server(tftpd). E.g. "load_image /tftp/10.0.0.96/c:\temp\abc.elf" will
2782 load c:\temp\abc.elf from the developer pc (10.0.0.96) into memory as
2783 if the file was hosted on the embedded host.
2784
2785 In order to achieve decent performance, you must choose a tftp server
2786 that supports a packet size bigger than the default packet size(512 bytes). There
2787 are numerous tftp servers out there(free and commercial) and you will have to do
2788 a bit of googling to find something that fits your requirements.

2817 @chapter GDB and OpenOCD
2818 @cindex GDB and OpenOCD
2819 OpenOCD complies with the remote gdbserver protocol, and as such can be used
2820 to debug remote targets.
2821
2822 @section Connecting to GDB
2823 @cindex Connecting to GDB
2824 @anchor{Connecting to GDB}
2825 Use GDB 6.7 or newer with OpenOCD if you run into trouble. For
2826 instance 6.3 has a known bug where it produces bogus memory access
2827 errors, which has since been fixed: look up 1836 in
2828 @url{http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?database=gdb}
2829
2830 @*OpenOCD can communicate with GDB in two ways:
2831 @enumerate
2832 @item
2833 A socket (tcp) connection is typically started as follows:
2834 @example
2835 target remote localhost:3333
2836 @end example
2837 This would cause GDB to connect to the gdbserver on the local pc using port 3333.
2838 @item
2839 A pipe connection is typically started as follows:
2840 @example
2841 target remote openocd --pipe
2842 @end example
2843 This would cause GDB to run OpenOCD and communicate using pipes (stdin/stdout).
2844 Using this method has the advantage of GDB starting/stopping OpenOCD for debug session.
2845 @end enumerate
2846
2847 @*To see a list of available OpenOCD commands type @option{monitor help} on the
2848 GDB commandline.
2849
2850 OpenOCD supports the gdb @option{qSupported} packet, this enables information
2851 to be sent by the gdb server (OpenOCD) to GDB. Typical information includes
2852 packet size and device memory map.
2853
2854 Previous versions of OpenOCD required the following GDB options to increase
2855 the packet size and speed up GDB communication.
2856 @example
2857 set remote memory-write-packet-size 1024
2858 set remote memory-write-packet-size fixed
2859 set remote memory-read-packet-size 1024
2860 set remote memory-read-packet-size fixed
2861 @end example
2862 This is now handled in the @option{qSupported} PacketSize and should not be required.
2863
2864 @section Programming using GDB
2865 @cindex Programming using GDB
2866
2867 By default the target memory map is sent to GDB, this can be disabled by
2868 the following OpenOCD config option:
2869 @example
2870 gdb_memory_map disable
2871 @end example
2872 For this to function correctly a valid flash config must also be configured
2873 in OpenOCD. For faster performance you should also configure a valid
2874 working area.
2875
2876 Informing GDB of the memory map of the target will enable GDB to protect any
2877 flash area of the target and use hardware breakpoints by default. This means
2878 that the OpenOCD option @option{gdb_breakpoint_override} is not required when
2879 using a memory map. @xref{gdb_breakpoint_override}.
2880
2881 To view the configured memory map in GDB, use the gdb command @option{info mem}
2882 All other unasigned addresses within GDB are treated as RAM.
2883
2884 GDB 6.8 and higher set any memory area not in the memory map as inaccessible,
2885 this can be changed to the old behaviour by using the following GDB command.
2886 @example
2887 set mem inaccessible-by-default off
2888 @end example
2889
2890 If @option{gdb_flash_program enable} is also used, GDB will be able to
2891 program any flash memory using the vFlash interface.
2892
2893 GDB will look at the target memory map when a load command is given, if any
2894 areas to be programmed lie within the target flash area the vFlash packets
2895 will be used.
2896
2897 If the target needs configuring before GDB programming, an event
2898 script can be executed.
2899 @example
2900 $_TARGETNAME configure -event EVENTNAME BODY
2901 @end example
2902
2903 To verify any flash programming the GDB command @option{compare-sections}
2904 can be used.

2906 @node TCL scripting API
2907 @chapter TCL scripting API
2908 @cindex TCL scripting API
2909 API rules
2910
2911 The commands are stateless. E.g. the telnet command line has a concept
2912 of currently active target, the Tcl API proc's take this sort of state
2913 information as an argument to each proc.
2914
2915 There are three main types of return values: single value, name value
2916 pair list and lists.
2917
2918 Name value pair. The proc 'foo' below returns a name/value pair
2919 list.
2920
2921 @verbatim
2922
2923 > set foo(me) Duane
2924 > set foo(you) Oyvind
2925 > set foo(mouse) Micky
2926 > set foo(duck) Donald
2927
2928 If one does this:
2929
2930 > set foo
2931
2932 The result is:
2933
2934 me Duane you Oyvind mouse Micky duck Donald
2935
2936 Thus, to get the names of the associative array is easy:
2937
2938 foreach { name value } [set foo] {
2939 puts "Name: $name, Value: $value"
2940 }
2941 @end verbatim
2942
2943 Lists returned must be relatively small. Otherwise a range
2944 should be passed in to the proc in question.
2945
2946 Low level commands are prefixed with "openocd_", e.g. openocd_flash_banks
2947 is the low level API upon which "flash banks" is implemented.

3030 @item @b{RTCK, also known as: Adaptive Clocking - What is it?}
3031 @cindex RTCK
3032 @cindex adaptive clocking
3033 @*
3034
3035 In digital circuit design it is often refered to as ``clock
3036 syncronization'' the JTAG interface uses one clock (TCK or TCLK)
3037 operating at some speed, your target is operating at another. The two
3038 clocks are not syncronized, they are ``asynchronous''
3039
3040 In order for the two to work together they must syncronize. Otherwise
3041 the two systems will get out of sync with each other and nothing will
3042 work. There are 2 basic options. @b{1.} use a special circuit or
3043 @b{2.} one clock must be some multile slower the the other.
3044
3045 @b{Does this really matter?} For some chips and some situations, this
3046 is a non-issue (ie: A 500mhz ARM926) but for others - for example some
3047 ATMEL SAM7 and SAM9 chips start operation from reset at 32khz -
3048 program/enable the oscillators and eventually the main clock. It is in
3049 those critical times you must slow the jtag clock to sometimes 1 to
3050 4khz.
3051
3052 Imagine debugging that 500mhz arm926 hand held battery powered device
3053 that ``deep sleeps'' at 32khz between every keystroke. It can be
3054 painful.
3055
3056 @b{Solution #1 - A special circuit}
3057
3058 In order to make use of this your jtag dongle must support the RTCK
3059 feature. Not all dongles support this - keep reading!
3060
3061 The RTCK signal often found in some ARM chips is used to help with
3062 this problem. ARM has a good description of the problem described at
3063 this link: @url{http://www.arm.com/support/faqdev/4170.html} [checked
3064 28/nov/2008]. Link title: ``How does the jtag synchronisation logic
3065 work? / how does adaptive clocking working?''.
3066
3067 The nice thing about adaptive clocking is that ``battery powered hand
3068 held device example'' - the adaptiveness works perfectly all the
3069 time. One can set a break point or halt the system in the deep power
3070 down code, slow step out until the system speeds up.
3071
3072 @b{Solution #2 - Always works - but is slower}
3073
3074 Often this is a perfectly acceptable solution.
3075
3076 In the most simple terms: Often the JTAG clock must be 1/10 to 1/12 of
3077 the target clock speed. But what is that ``magic division'' it varies
3078 depending upon the chips on your board. @b{ARM Rule of thumb} Most ARM
3079 based systems require an 8:1 division. @b{Xilinx Rule of thumb} is
3080 1/12 the clock speed.
3081
3082 Note: Many FTDI2232C based JTAG dongles are limited to 6mhz.
3083
3084 You can still debug the 'lower power' situations - you just need to
3085 manually adjust the clock speed at every step. While painful and
3086 teadious, it is not always practical.
3087
3088 It is however easy to ``code your way around it'' - ie: Cheat a little
3089 have a special debug mode in your application that does a ``high power
3090 sleep''. If you are careful - 98% of your problems can be debugged
3091 this way.
3092
3093 To set the JTAG frequency use the command:
3094
3095 @example
3096 # Example: 1.234mhz
3097 jtag_khz 1234
3098 @end example
3099
3100
3101 @item @b{Win32 Pathnames} Why does not backslashes in paths under Windows doesn't work?
3102
3103 OpenOCD uses Tcl and a backslash is an escape char. Use @{ and @}
3104 around Windows filenames.
3105
3106 @example
3107 > echo \a
3108
3109 > echo @{\a@}
3110 \a
3111 > echo "\a"
3112
3113 >
3114 @end example
3115
3116
3117 @item @b{Missing: cygwin1.dll} OpenOCD complains about a missing cygwin1.dll.
3118
3119 Make sure you have Cygwin installed, or at least a version of OpenOCD that
3120 claims to come with all the necessary dlls. When using Cygwin, try launching
3121 OpenOCD from the Cygwin shell.
3122
3123 @item @b{Breakpoint Issue} I'm trying to set a breakpoint using GDB (or a frontend like Insight or
3124 Eclipse), but OpenOCD complains that "Info: arm7_9_common.c:213
3125 arm7_9_add_breakpoint(): sw breakpoint requested, but software breakpoints not enabled".
3126
3127 GDB issues software breakpoints when a normal breakpoint is requested, or to implement
3128 source-line single-stepping. On ARMv4T systems, like ARM7TDMI, ARM720t or ARM920t,
3129 software breakpoints consume one of the two available hardware breakpoints.
3130
3131 @item @b{LPC2000 Flash} When erasing or writing LPC2000 on-chip flash, the operation fails sometimes
3132 and works sometimes fine.
3133
3134 Make sure the core frequency specified in the @option{flash lpc2000} line matches the
3135 clock at the time you're programming the flash. If you've specified the crystal's
3136 frequency, make sure the PLL is disabled, if you've specified the full core speed
3137 (e.g. 60MHz), make sure the PLL is enabled.
3138
3139 @item @b{Amontec Chameleon} When debugging using an Amontec Chameleon in its JTAG Accelerator configuration,
3140 I keep getting "Error: amt_jtagaccel.c:184 amt_wait_scan_busy(): amt_jtagaccel timed
3141 out while waiting for end of scan, rtck was disabled".
3142
3143 Make sure your PC's parallel port operates in EPP mode. You might have to try several
3144 settings in your PC BIOS (ECP, EPP, and different versions of those).
3145
3146 @item @b{Data Aborts} When debugging with OpenOCD and GDB (plain GDB, Insight, or Eclipse),
3147 I get lots of "Error: arm7_9_common.c:1771 arm7_9_read_memory():
3148 memory read caused data abort".
3149
3150 The errors are non-fatal, and are the result of GDB trying to trace stack frames
3151 beyond the last valid frame. It might be possible to prevent this by setting up
3152 a proper "initial" stack frame, if you happen to know what exactly has to
3153 be done, feel free to add this here.
3154
3155 @b{Simple:} In your startup code - push 8 registers of ZEROs onto the
3156 stack before calling main(). What GDB is doing is ``climbing'' the run
3157 time stack by reading various values on the stack using the standard
3158 call frame for the target. GDB keeps going - until one of 2 things
3159 happen @b{#1} an invalid frame is found, or @b{#2} some huge number of
3160 stackframes have been processed. By pushing ZEROs on the stack, GDB
3161 gracefully stops.
3162
3163 @b{Debugging Interrupt Service Routines} - In your ISR before you call
3164 your C code, do the same, artifically push some zeros on to the stack,
3165 remember to pop them off when the ISR is done.
3166
3167 @b{Also note:} If you have a multi-threaded operating system, they
3168 often do not @b{in the intrest of saving memory} waste these few
3169 bytes. Painful...
3170
3171
3172 @item @b{JTAG Reset Config} I get the following message in the OpenOCD console (or log file):
3173 "Warning: arm7_9_common.c:679 arm7_9_assert_reset(): srst resets test logic, too".
3174
3175 This warning doesn't indicate any serious problem, as long as you don't want to
3176 debug your core right out of reset. Your .cfg file specified @option{jtag_reset
3177 trst_and_srst srst_pulls_trst} to tell OpenOCD that either your board,
3178 your debugger or your target uC (e.g. LPC2000) can't assert the two reset signals
3179 independently. With this setup, it's not possible to halt the core right out of
3180 reset, everything else should work fine.
3181
3182 @item @b{USB Power} When using OpenOCD in conjunction with Amontec JTAGkey and the Yagarto
3183 Toolchain (Eclipse, arm-elf-gcc, arm-elf-gdb), the debugging seems to be
3184 unstable. When single-stepping over large blocks of code, GDB and OpenOCD
3185 quit with an error message. Is there a stability issue with OpenOCD?
3186
3187 No, this is not a stability issue concerning OpenOCD. Most users have solved
3188 this issue by simply using a self-powered USB hub, which they connect their
3189 Amontec JTAGkey to. Apparently, some computers do not provide a USB power
3190 supply stable enough for the Amontec JTAGkey to be operated.
3191
3192 @b{Laptops running on battery have this problem too...}
3193
3194 @item @b{USB Power} When using the Amontec JTAGkey, sometimes OpenOCD crashes with the
3195 following error messages: "Error: ft2232.c:201 ft2232_read(): FT_Read returned:
3196 4" and "Error: ft2232.c:365 ft2232_send_and_recv(): couldn't read from FT2232".
3197 What does that mean and what might be the reason for this?
3198
3199 First of all, the reason might be the USB power supply. Try using a self-powered
3200 hub instead of a direct connection to your computer. Secondly, the error code 4
3201 corresponds to an FT_IO_ERROR, which means that the driver for the FTDI USB
3202 chip ran into some sort of error - this points us to a USB problem.
3203
3204 @item @b{GDB Disconnects} When using the Amontec JTAGkey, sometimes OpenOCD crashes with the following
3205 error message: "Error: gdb_server.c:101 gdb_get_char(): read: 10054".
3206 What does that mean and what might be the reason for this?
3207
3208 Error code 10054 corresponds to WSAECONNRESET, which means that the debugger (GDB)
3209 has closed the connection to OpenOCD. This might be a GDB issue.
3210
3211 @item @b{LPC2000 Flash} In the configuration file in the section where flash device configurations
3212 are described, there is a parameter for specifying the clock frequency
3213 for LPC2000 internal flash devices (e.g. @option{flash bank lpc2000
3214 0x0 0x40000 0 0 0 lpc2000_v1 14746 calc_checksum}), which must be
3215 specified in kilohertz. However, I do have a quartz crystal of a
3216 frequency that contains fractions of kilohertz (e.g. 14,745,600 Hz,
3217 i.e. 14,745.600 kHz). Is it possible to specify real numbers for the
3218 clock frequency?
3219
3220 No. The clock frequency specified here must be given as an integral number.
3221 However, this clock frequency is used by the In-Application-Programming (IAP)
3222 routines of the LPC2000 family only, which seems to be very tolerant concerning
3223 the given clock frequency, so a slight difference between the specified clock
3224 frequency and the actual clock frequency will not cause any trouble.
3225
3226 @item @b{Command Order} Do I have to keep a specific order for the commands in the configuration file?
3227
3228 Well, yes and no. Commands can be given in arbitrary order, yet the
3229 devices listed for the JTAG scan chain must be given in the right
3230 order (jtag newdevice), with the device closest to the TDO-Pin being
3231 listed first. In general, whenever objects of the same type exist
3232 which require an index number, then these objects must be given in the
3233 right order (jtag newtap, targets and flash banks - a target
3234 references a jtag newtap and a flash bank references a target).
3235
3236 You can use the ``scan_chain'' command to verify and display the tap order.
3237
3238 @item @b{JTAG Tap Order} JTAG Tap Order - Command Order
3239
3240 Many newer devices have multiple JTAG taps. For example: ST
3241 Microsystems STM32 chips have two taps, a ``boundary scan tap'' and
3242 ``cortexM3'' tap. Example: The STM32 reference manual, Document ID:
3243 RM0008, Section 26.5, Figure 259, page 651/681, the ``TDI'' pin is
3244 connected to the Boundary Scan Tap, which then connects to the
3245 CortexM3 Tap, which then connects to the TDO pin.
3246
3247 Thus, the proper order for the STM32 chip is: (1) The CortexM3, then
3248 (2) The Boundary Scan Tap. If your board includes an additional JTAG
3249 chip in the scan chain (for example a Xilinx CPLD or FPGA) you could
3250 place it before or after the stm32 chip in the chain. For example:
3251
3252 @itemize @bullet
3253 @item OpenOCD_TDI(output) -> STM32 TDI Pin (BS Input)
3254 @item STM32 BS TDO (output) -> STM32 CortexM3 TDI (input)
3255 @item STM32 CortexM3 TDO (output) -> SM32 TDO Pin
3256 @item STM32 TDO Pin (output) -> Xilinx TDI Pin (input)
3257 @item Xilinx TDO Pin -> OpenOCD TDO (input)
3258 @end itemize
3259
3260 The ``jtag device'' commands would thus be in the order shown below. Note
3261
3262 @itemize @bullet
3263 @item jtag newtap Xilinx tap -irlen ...
3264 @item jtag newtap stm32 cpu -irlen ...
3265 @item jtag newtap stm32 bs -irlen ...

3281 @cindex TCL
3282
3283 Not everyone knows TCL - this is not intended to be a replacement for
3284 learning TCL, the intent of this chapter is to give you some idea of
3285 how the TCL Scripts work.
3286
3287 This chapter is written with two audiences in mind. (1) OpenOCD users
3288 who need to understand a bit more of how JIM-Tcl works so they can do
3289 something useful, and (2) those that want to add a new command to
3290 OpenOCD.
3291
3292 @section TCL Rule #1
3293 There is a famous joke, it goes like this:
3294 @enumerate
3295 @item Rule #1: The wife is always correct
3296 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
3297 @end enumerate
3298
3299 The TCL equal is this:
3300
3301 @enumerate
3302 @item Rule #1: Everything is a string
3303 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
3304 @end enumerate
3305
3306 As in the famous joke, the consequences of Rule #1 are profound. Once
3307 you understand Rule #1, you will understand TCL.
3308
3309 @section TCL Rule #1b
3310 There is a second pair of rules.
3311 @enumerate
3312 @item Rule #1: Control flow does not exist. Only commands
3313 @* For example: the classic FOR loop or IF statement is not a control
3314 flow item, they are commands, there is no such thing as control flow
3315 in TCL.
3316 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
3317 @* Actually what happens is this: There are commands that by
3318 convention, act like control flow key words in other languages. One of
3319 those commands is the word ``for'', another command is ``if''.
3320 @end enumerate
3321
3322 @section Per Rule #1 - All Results are strings
3323 Every TCL command results in a string. The word ``result'' is used
3324 deliberatly. No result is just an empty string. Remember: @i{Rule #1 -
3325 Everything is a string}
3326
3327 @section TCL Quoting Operators
3328 In life of a TCL script, there are two important periods of time, the
3329 difference is subtle.
3330 @enumerate
3331 @item Parse Time
3332 @item Evaluation Time
3333 @end enumerate
3334
3335 The two key items here are how ``quoted things'' work in TCL. TCL has
3336 three primary quoting constructs, the [square-brackets] the
3337 @{curly-braces@} and ``double-quotes''
3338
3339 By now you should know $VARIABLES always start with a $DOLLAR
3340 sign. BTW, to set a variable, you actually use the command ``set'', as
3341 in ``set VARNAME VALUE'' much like the ancient BASIC langauge ``let x
3342 = 1'' statement, but without the equal sign.
3343
3344 @itemize @bullet
3345 @item @b{[square-brackets]}
3346 @* @b{[square-brackets]} are command subsitution. It operates much
3347 like Unix Shell `back-ticks`. The result of a [square-bracket]
3348 operation is exactly 1 string. @i{Remember Rule #1 - Everything is a
3349 string}. These two statments are roughly identical.
3350 @example
3351 # bash example
3352 X=`date`
3353 echo "The Date is: $X"
3354 # TCL example
3355 set X [date]
3356 puts "The Date is: $X"
3357 @end example
3358 @item @b{``double-quoted-things''}
3359 @* @b{``double-quoted-things''} are just simply quoted
3360 text. $VARIABLES and [square-brackets] are expanded in place - the
3361 result however is exactly 1 string. @i{Remember Rule #1 - Everything
3362 is a string}
3363 @example
3364 set x "Dinner"
3365 puts "It is now \"[date]\", $x is in 1 hour"
3366 @end example
3367 @item @b{@{Curly-Braces@}}
3368 @*@b{@{Curly-Braces@}} are magic: $VARIABLES and [square-brackets] are
3369 parsed, but are NOT expanded or executed. @{Curly-Braces@} are like
3370 'single-quote' operators in BASH shell scripts, with the added
3371 feature: @{curly-braces@} nest, single quotes can not. @{@{@{this is
3372 nested 3 times@}@}@} NOTE: [date] is perhaps a bad example, as of
3373 28/nov/2008, Jim/OpenOCD does not have a date command.
3374 @end itemize
3375
3376 @section Consequences of Rule 1/2/3/4
3377
3378 The consequences of Rule 1 is profound.
3379
3380 @subsection Tokenizing & Execution.
3381
3382 Of course, whitespace, blank lines and #comment lines are handled in
3383 the normal way.
3384
3385 As a script is parsed, each (multi) line in the script file is
3386 tokenized and according to the quoting rules. After tokenizing, that
3387 line is immedatly executed.
3388
3389 Multi line statements end with one or more ``still-open''
3390 @{curly-braces@} which - eventually - a few lines later closes.
3391
3392 @subsection Command Execution
3393
3394 Remember earlier: There is no such thing as ``control flow''
3395 statements in TCL. Instead there are COMMANDS that simpily act like
3396 control flow operators.
3397
3398 Commands are executed like this:
3399
3400 @enumerate
3401 @item Parse the next line into (argc) and (argv[]).
3402 @item Look up (argv[0]) in a table and call its function.
3403 @item Repeat until End Of File.
3404 @end enumerate
3405
3406 It sort of works like this:
3407 @example
3408 for(;;)@{
3409 ReadAndParse( &argc, &argv );
3410
3411 cmdPtr = LookupCommand( argv[0] );
3412
3413 (*cmdPtr->Execute)( argc, argv );
3414 @}
3415 @end example
3416
3417 When the command ``proc'' is parsed (which creates a procedure
3418 function) it gets 3 parameters on the command line. @b{1} the name of
3419 the proc (function), @b{2} the list of parameters, and @b{3} the body
3420 of the function. Not the choice of words: LIST and BODY. The PROC
3421 command stores these items in a table somewhere so it can be found by
3422 ``LookupCommand()''
3423
3424 @subsection The FOR Command
3425
3426 The most interesting command to look at is the FOR command. In TCL,
3427 the FOR command is normally implimented in C. Remember, FOR is a
3428 command just like any other command.
3429
3430 When the ascii text containing the FOR command is parsed, the parser
3431 produces 5 parameter strings, @i{(If in doubt: Refer to Rule #1)} they
3432 are:
3433
3434 @enumerate 0
3435 @item The ascii text 'for'
3436 @item The start text
3437 @item The test expression
3438 @item The next text
3439 @item The body text
3440 @end enumerate
3441
3442 Sort of reminds you of ``main( int argc, char **argv )'' does it not?
3443 Remember @i{Rule #1 - Everything is a string.} The key point is this:
3444 Often many of those parameters are in @{curly-braces@} - thus the
3445 variables inside are not expanded or replaced until later.
3446
3447 Remember that every TCL command looks like the classic ``main( argc,
3448 argv )'' function in C. In JimTCL - they actually look like this:
3449
3450 @example
3451 int
3452 MyCommand( Jim_Interp *interp,
3453 int *argc,
3454 Jim_Obj * const *argvs );
3455 @end example
3456
3457 Real TCL is nearly identical. Although the newer versions have
3458 introduced a byte-code parser and intepreter, but at the core, it
3459 still operates in the same basic way.
3460
3461 @subsection FOR Command Implimentation
3462
3463 To understand TCL it is perhaps most helpful to see the FOR
3464 command. Remember, it is a COMMAND not a control flow structure.
3465
3466 In TCL there are two underying C helper functions.
3467
3468 Remember Rule #1 - You are a string.
3469
3470 The @b{first} helper parses and executes commands found in an ascii
3471 string. Commands can be seperated by semi-colons, or newlines. While
3472 parsing, variables are expanded per the quoting rules
3473
3474 The @b{second} helper evaluates an ascii string as a numerical
3475 expression and returns a value.
3476
3477 Here is an example of how the @b{FOR} command could be
3478 implimented. The pseudo code below does not show error handling.
3479 @example
3480 void Execute_AsciiString( void *interp, const char *string );
3481
3482 int Evaluate_AsciiExpression( void *interp, const char *string );
3483
3484 int
3485 MyForCommand( void *interp,
3486 int argc,
3487 char **argv )
3488 @{
3489 if( argc != 5 )@{
3490 SetResult( interp, "WRONG number of parameters");
3491 return ERROR;
3492 @}
3493
3494 // argv[0] = the ascii string just like C
3495
3496 // Execute the start statement.
3497 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[1] );
3498
3499 // Top of loop test
3500 for(;;)@{
3501 i = Evaluate_AsciiExpression(interp, argv[2]);
3502 if( i == 0 )
3503 break;
3504
3505 // Execute the body
3506 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[3] );
3507
3508 // Execute the LOOP part
3509 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[4] );
3510 @}
3511
3512 // Return no error
3513 SetResult( interp, "" );
3514 return SUCCESS;
3515 @}
3516 @end example
3517
3518 Every other command IF, WHILE, FORMAT, PUTS, EXPR, everything works
3519 in the same basic way.

3521 @section OpenOCD TCL Usage
3522
3523 @subsection source and find commands
3524 @b{Where:} In many configuration files
3525 @* Example: @b{ source [find FILENAME] }
3526 @*Remember the parsing rules
3527 @enumerate
3528 @item The FIND command is in square brackets.
3529 @* The FIND command is executed with the parameter FILENAME. It should
3530 find the full path to the named file. The RESULT is a string, which is
3531 subsituted on the orginal command line.
3532 @item The command source is executed with the resulting filename.
3533 @* SOURCE reads a file and executes as a script.
3534 @end enumerate
3535 @subsection format command
3536 @b{Where:} Generally occurs in numerous places.
3537 @* TCL no command like @b{printf()}, intead it has @b{format}, which is really more like
3538 @b{sprintf()}.
3539 @b{Example}
3540 @example
3541 set x 6
3542 set y 7
3543 puts [format "The answer: %d" [expr $x * $y]]
3544 @end example
3545 @enumerate
3546 @item The SET command creates 2 variables, X and Y.
3547 @item The double [nested] EXPR command performs math
3548 @* The EXPR command produces numerical result as a string.
3549 @* Refer to Rule #1
3550 @item The format command is executed, producing a single string
3551 @* Refer to Rule #1.
3552 @item The PUTS command outputs the text.
3553 @end enumerate
3554 @subsection Body Or Inlined Text
3555 @b{Where:} Various TARGET scripts.
3556 @example
3557 #1 Good
3558 proc someproc @{@} @{
3559 ... multiple lines of stuff ...
3560 @}
3561 $_TARGETNAME configure -event FOO someproc
3562 #2 Good - no variables
3563 $_TARGETNAME confgure -event foo "this ; that;"
3564 #3 Good Curly Braces
3565 $_TARGETNAME configure -event FOO @{
3566 puts "Time: [date]"
3567 @}
3568 #4 DANGER DANGER DANGER
3569 $_TARGETNAME configure -event foo "puts \"Time: [date]\""
3570 @end example
3571 @enumerate
3572 @item The $_TARGETNAME is an OpenOCD variable convention.
3573 @*@b{$_TARGETNAME} represents the last target created, the value changes
3574 each time a new target is created. Remember the parsing rules. When
3575 the ascii text is parsed, the @b{$_TARGETNAME} becomes a simple string,
3576 the name of the target which happens to be a TARGET (object)
3577 command.
3578 @item The 2nd parameter to the @option{-event} parameter is a TCBODY
3579 @*There are 4 examples:
3580 @enumerate
3581 @item The TCLBODY is a simple string that happens to be a proc name
3582 @item The TCLBODY is several simple commands semi-colon seperated
3583 @item The TCLBODY is a multi-line @{curly-brace@} quoted string
3584 @item The TCLBODY is a string with variables that get expanded.
3585 @end enumerate
3586
3587 In the end, when the target event FOO occurs the TCLBODY is
3588 evaluated. Method @b{#1} and @b{#2} are functionally identical. For
3589 Method @b{#3} and @b{#4} it is more interesting. What is the TCLBODY?
3590
3591 Remember the parsing rules. In case #3, @{curly-braces@} mean the
3592 $VARS and [square-brackets] are expanded later, when the EVENT occurs,
3593 and the text is evaluated. In case #4, they are replaced before the
3594 ``Target Object Command'' is executed. This occurs at the same time
3595 $_TARGETNAME is replaced. In case #4 the date will never
3596 change. @{BTW: [date] is perhaps a bad example, as of 28/nov/2008,
3597 Jim/OpenOCD does not have a date command@}
3598 @end enumerate
3599 @subsection Global Variables
3600 @b{Where:} You might discover this when writing your own procs @* In
3601 simple terms: Inside a PROC, if you need to access a global variable
3602 you must say so. Also see ``upvar''. Example:
3603 @example
3604 proc myproc @{ @} @{
3605 set y 0 #Local variable Y
3606 global x #Global variable X
3607 puts [format "X=%d, Y=%d" $x $y]
3608 @}
3609 @end example
3610 @section Other Tcl Hacks
3611 @b{Dynamic Variable Creation}
3612 @example
3613 # Dynamically create a bunch of variables.
3614 for @{ set x 0 @} @{ $x < 32 @} @{ set x [expr $x + 1]@} @{
3615 # Create var name
3616 set vn [format "BIT%d" $x]
3617 # Make it a global
3618 global $vn
3619 # Set it.
3620 set $vn [expr (1 << $x)]
3621 @}
3622 @end example
3623 @b{Dynamic Proc/Command Creation}
3624 @example
3625 # One "X" function - 5 uart functions.
3626 foreach who @{A B C D E@}
3627 proc [format "show_uart%c" $who] @{ @} "show_UARTx $who"

3631 @node Target library
3632 @chapter Target library
3633 @cindex Target library
3634
3635 OpenOCD comes with a target configuration script library. These scripts can be
3636 used as-is or serve as a starting point.
3637
3638 The target library is published together with the OpenOCD executable and
3639 the path to the target library is in the OpenOCD script search path.
3640 Similarly there are example scripts for configuring the JTAG interface.
3641
3642 The command line below uses the example parport configuration scripts
3643 that ship with OpenOCD, then configures the str710.cfg target and
3644 finally issues the init and reset command. The communication speed
3645 is set to 10kHz for reset and 8MHz for post reset.
3646
3647
3648 @example
3649 openocd -f interface/parport.cfg -f target/str710.cfg -c "init" -c "reset"
3650 @end example
3651
3652
3653 To list the target scripts available:
3654
3655 @example
3656 $ ls /usr/local/lib/openocd/target
