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.

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:

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

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.

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

681 Properly installing OpenOCD sets up your operating system to grant it access
682 to the debug adapters. On Linux, this usually involves installing a file
683 in @file{/etc/udev/rules.d,} so OpenOCD has permissions. An example rules file
684 that works for many common adapters is shipped with OpenOCD in the
685 @file{contrib} directory. MS-Windows needs
686 complex and confusing driver configuration for every peripheral. Such issues
687 are unique to each operating system, and are not detailed in this User's Guide.
688
689 Then later you will invoke the OpenOCD server, with various options to
690 tell it how each debug session should work.
691 The @option{--help} option shows:
692 @verbatim
693 bash$ openocd --help
694
695 --help | -h display this help
696 --version | -v display OpenOCD version
697 --file | -f use configuration file <name>
698 --search | -s dir to search for config files and scripts
699 --debug | -d set debug level to 3
700 | -d<n> set debug level to <level>
701 --log_output | -l redirect log output to file <name>
702 --command | -c run <command>
703 @end verbatim
704
705 If you don't give any @option{-f} or @option{-c} options,
706 OpenOCD tries to read the configuration file @file{openocd.cfg}.
707 To specify one or more different
708 configuration files, use @option{-f} options. For example:
709
710 @example
711 openocd -f config1.cfg -f config2.cfg -f config3.cfg
712 @end example
713
714 Configuration files and scripts are searched for in
715 @enumerate
716 @item the current directory,
717 @item any search dir specified on the command line using the @option{-s} option,
718 @item any search dir specified using the @command{add_script_search_dir} command,
719 @item a directory in the @env{OPENOCD_SCRIPTS} environment variable (if set),
720 @item @file{%APPDATA%/OpenOCD} (only on Windows),
721 @item @file{$HOME/Library/Preferences/org.openocd} (only on Darwin),

723 @item @file{$HOME/.openocd},
724 @item the site wide script library @file{$pkgdatadir/site} and
725 @item the OpenOCD-supplied script library @file{$pkgdatadir/scripts}.
726 @end enumerate
727 The first found file with a matching file name will be used.
728
729 @quotation Note
730 Don't try to use configuration script names or paths which
731 include the "#" character. That character begins Tcl comments.
732 @end quotation
733
734 @section Simple setup, no customization
735
736 In the best case, you can use two scripts from one of the script
737 libraries, hook up your JTAG adapter, and start the server ... and
738 your JTAG setup will just work "out of the box". Always try to
739 start by reusing those scripts, but assume you'll need more
740 customization even if this works. @xref{OpenOCD Project Setup}.
741
742 If you find a script for your JTAG adapter, and for your board or
743 target, you may be able to hook up your JTAG adapter then start
744 the server with some variation of one of the following:
745
746 @example
747 openocd -f interface/ADAPTER.cfg -f board/MYBOARD.cfg
748 openocd -f interface/ftdi/ADAPTER.cfg -f board/MYBOARD.cfg
749 @end example
750
751 You might also need to configure which reset signals are present,
752 using @option{-c 'reset_config trst_and_srst'} or something similar.
753 If all goes well you'll see output something like
754
755 @example
756 Open On-Chip Debugger 0.4.0 (2010-01-14-15:06)
757 For bug reports, read
758 http://openocd.org/doc/doxygen/bugs.html
759 Info : JTAG tap: lm3s.cpu tap/device found: 0x3ba00477
760 (mfg: 0x23b, part: 0xba00, ver: 0x3)
761 @end example
762
763 Seeing that "tap/device found" message, and no warnings, means
764 the JTAG communication is working. That's a key milestone, but
765 you'll probably need more project-specific setup.
766
767 @section What OpenOCD does as it starts
768
769 OpenOCD starts by processing the configuration commands provided
770 on the command line or, if there were no @option{-c command} or
771 @option{-f file.cfg} options given, in @file{openocd.cfg}.
772 @xref{configurationstage,,Configuration Stage}.
773 At the end of the configuration stage it verifies the JTAG scan
774 chain defined using those commands; your configuration should
775 ensure that this always succeeds.
776 Normally, OpenOCD then starts running as a server.
777 Alternatively, commands may be used to terminate the configuration
778 stage early, perform work (such as updating some flash memory),
779 and then shut down without acting as a server.
780
781 Once OpenOCD starts running as a server, it waits for connections from
782 clients (Telnet, GDB, RPC) and processes the commands issued through
783 those channels.
784
785 If you are having problems, you can enable internal debug messages via
786 the @option{-d} option.
787
788 Also it is possible to interleave Jim-Tcl commands w/config scripts using the
789 @option{-c} command line switch.
790
791 To enable debug output (when reporting problems or working on OpenOCD
792 itself), use the @option{-d} command line switch. This sets the
793 @option{debug_level} to "3", outputting the most information,
794 including debug messages. The default setting is "2", outputting only
795 informational messages, warnings and errors. You can also change this
796 setting from within a telnet or gdb session using @command{debug_level<n>}
797 (@pxref{debuglevel,,debug_level}).
798
799 You can redirect all output from the server to a file using the
800 @option{-l <logfile>} switch.
801
802 Note! OpenOCD will launch the GDB & telnet server even if it can not
803 establish a connection with the target. In general, it is possible for
804 the JTAG controller to be unresponsive until the target is set up
805 correctly via e.g. GDB monitor commands in a GDB init script.
806
807 @node OpenOCD Project Setup
808 @chapter OpenOCD Project Setup
809
810 To use OpenOCD with your development projects, you need to do more than
811 just connect the JTAG adapter hardware (dongle) to your development board
812 and start the OpenOCD server.
813 You also need to configure your OpenOCD server so that it knows
814 about your adapter and board, and helps your work.
815 You may also want to connect OpenOCD to GDB, possibly
816 using Eclipse or some other GUI.
817
818 @section Hooking up the JTAG Adapter
819
820 Today's most common case is a dongle with a JTAG cable on one side
821 (such as a ribbon cable with a 10-pin or 20-pin IDC connector)
822 and a USB cable on the other.
823 Instead of USB, some dongles use Ethernet;
824 older ones may use a PC parallel port, or even a serial port.
825
826 @enumerate
827 @item @emph{Start with power to your target board turned off},
828 and nothing connected to your JTAG adapter.
829 If you're particularly paranoid, unplug power to the board.
830 It's important to have the ground signal properly set up,
831 unless you are using a JTAG adapter which provides
832 galvanic isolation between the target board and the
833 debugging host.
834
835 @item @emph{Be sure it's the right kind of JTAG connector.}
836 If your dongle has a 20-pin ARM connector, you need some kind
837 of adapter (or octopus, see below) to hook it up to
838 boards using 14-pin or 10-pin connectors ... or to 20-pin
839 connectors which don't use ARM's pinout.
840
841 In the same vein, make sure the voltage levels are compatible.
842 Not all JTAG adapters have the level shifters needed to work
843 with 1.2 Volt boards.
844
845 @item @emph{Be certain the cable is properly oriented} or you might
846 damage your board. In most cases there are only two possible
847 ways to connect the cable.
848 Connect the JTAG cable from your adapter to the board.
849 Be sure it's firmly connected.
850
851 In the best case, the connector is keyed to physically
852 prevent you from inserting it wrong.
853 This is most often done using a slot on the board's male connector
854 housing, which must match a key on the JTAG cable's female connector.
855 If there's no housing, then you must look carefully and
856 make sure pin 1 on the cable hooks up to pin 1 on the board.
857 Ribbon cables are frequently all grey except for a wire on one
858 edge, which is red. The red wire is pin 1.
859
860 Sometimes dongles provide cables where one end is an ``octopus'' of
861 color coded single-wire connectors, instead of a connector block.
862 These are great when converting from one JTAG pinout to another,
863 but are tedious to set up.
864 Use these with connector pinout diagrams to help you match up the
865 adapter signals to the right board pins.
866
867 @item @emph{Connect the adapter's other end} once the JTAG cable is connected.
868 A USB, parallel, or serial port connector will go to the host which
869 you are using to run OpenOCD.
870 For Ethernet, consult the documentation and your network administrator.
871
872 For USB-based JTAG adapters you have an easy sanity check at this point:
873 does the host operating system see the JTAG adapter? If you're running
874 Linux, try the @command{lsusb} command. If that host is an
875 MS-Windows host, you'll need to install a driver before OpenOCD works.
876
877 @item @emph{Connect the adapter's power supply, if needed.}
878 This step is primarily for non-USB adapters,
879 but sometimes USB adapters need extra power.
880
881 @item @emph{Power up the target board.}
882 Unless you just let the magic smoke escape,
883 you're now ready to set up the OpenOCD server
884 so you can use JTAG to work with that board.
885
886 @end enumerate
887

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

1022 When you write new configuration files, please submit
1023 them for inclusion in the next OpenOCD release.

1030 You may need to write some C code.
1031 It may be as simple as supporting a new FT2232 or parport
1032 based adapter; a bit more involved, like a NAND or NOR flash
1033 controller driver; or a big piece of work like supporting
1034 a new chip architecture.

1036
1037 Reuse the existing config files when you can.
1038 Look first in the @file{scripts/boards} area, then @file{scripts/targets}.
1039 You may find a board configuration that's a good example to follow.
1040
1041 When you write config files, separate the reusable parts
1042 (things every user of that interface, chip, or board needs)
1043 from ones specific to your environment and debugging approach.
1044 @itemize

1046 @item
1047 For example, a @code{gdb-attach} event handler that invokes
1048 the @command{reset init} command will interfere with debugging
1049 early boot code, which performs some of the same actions
1050 that the @code{reset-init} event handler does.
1051
1052 @item
1053 Likewise, the @command{arm9 vector_catch} command (or
1054 @cindex vector_catch
1055 its siblings @command{xscale vector_catch}
1056 and @command{cortex_m vector_catch}) can be a time-saver
1057 during some debug sessions, but don't make everyone use that either.
1058 Keep those kinds of debugging aids in your user config file,
1059 along with messaging and tracing setup.

1063 You might need to override some defaults.
1064 For example, you might need to move, shrink, or back up the target's
1065 work area if your application needs much SRAM.

1073 @section Project-Specific Utilities
1074
1075 A few project-specific utility
1076 routines may well speed up your work.
1077 Write them, and keep them in your project's user config file.
1078
1079 For example, if you are making a boot loader work on a
1080 board, it's nice to be able to debug the ``after it's
1081 loaded to RAM'' parts separately from the finicky early
1082 code which sets up the DDR RAM controller and clocks.
1083 A script like this one, or a more GDB-aware sibling,
1084 may help:
1085
1086 @example
1087 proc ramboot @{ @} @{
1088 # Reset, running the target's "reset-init" scripts
1089 # to initialize clocks and the DDR RAM controller.
1090 # Leave the CPU halted.
1091 reset init
1092
1093 # Load CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT version into DDR RAM.
1094 load_image u-boot.bin 0x20000000
1095
1096 # Start running.
1097 resume 0x20000000
1098 @}
1099 @end example
1100
1101 Then once that code is working you will need to make it
1102 boot from NOR flash; a different utility would help.
1103 Alternatively, some developers write to flash using GDB.
1104 (You might use a similar script if you're working with a flash
1105 based microcontroller application instead of a boot loader.)
1106
1107 @example
1108 proc newboot @{ @} @{
1109 # Reset, leaving the CPU halted. The "reset-init" event
1110 # proc gives faster access to the CPU and to NOR flash;
1111 # "reset halt" would be slower.
1112 reset init
1113
1114 # Write standard version of U-Boot into the first two
1115 # sectors of NOR flash ... the standard version should
1116 # do the same lowlevel init as "reset-init".
1117 flash protect 0 0 1 off
1118 flash erase_sector 0 0 1
1119 flash write_bank 0 u-boot.bin 0x0
1120 flash protect 0 0 1 on
1121
1122 # Reboot from scratch using that new boot loader.
1123 reset run
1124 @}
1125 @end example
1126
1127 You may need more complicated utility procedures when booting
1128 from NAND.
1129 That often involves an extra bootloader stage,
1130 running from on-chip SRAM to perform DDR RAM setup so it can load
1131 the main bootloader code (which won't fit into that SRAM).
1132
1133 Other helper scripts might be used to write production system images,
1134 involving considerably more than just a three stage bootloader.
1135
1136 @section Target Software Changes
1137
1138 Sometimes you may want to make some small changes to the software
1139 you're developing, to help make JTAG debugging work better.
1140 For example, in C or assembly language code you might
1141 use @code{#ifdef JTAG_DEBUG} (or its converse) around code
1142 handling issues like:
1143
1144 @itemize @bullet
1145
1146 @item @b{Watchdog Timers}...
1147 Watchdog timers are typically used to automatically reset systems if
1148 some application task doesn't periodically reset the timer. (The
1149 assumption is that the system has locked up if the task can't run.)
1150 When a JTAG debugger halts the system, that task won't be able to run
1151 and reset the timer ... potentially causing resets in the middle of
1152 your debug sessions.
1153
1154 It's rarely a good idea to disable such watchdogs, since their usage
1155 needs to be debugged just like all other parts of your firmware.
1156 That might however be your only option.
1157
1158 Look instead for chip-specific ways to stop the watchdog from counting
1159 while the system is in a debug halt state. It may be simplest to set
1160 that non-counting mode in your debugger startup scripts. You may however
1161 need a different approach when, for example, a motor could be physically
1162 damaged by firmware remaining inactive in a debug halt state. That might
1163 involve a type of firmware mode where that "non-counting" mode is disabled
1164 at the beginning then re-enabled at the end; a watchdog reset might fire
1165 and complicate the debug session, but hardware (or people) would be
1166 protected.@footnote{Note that many systems support a "monitor mode" debug
1167 that is a somewhat cleaner way to address such issues. You can think of
1168 it as only halting part of the system, maybe just one task,
1169 instead of the whole thing.
1170 At this writing, January 2010, OpenOCD based debugging does not support
1171 monitor mode debug, only "halt mode" debug.}
1172
1173 @item @b{ARM Semihosting}...
1174 @cindex ARM semihosting
1175 When linked with a special runtime library provided with many
1176 toolchains@footnote{See chapter 8 "Semihosting" in
1177 @uref{http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.dui0203i/DUI0203I_rvct_developer_guide.pdf,
1178 ARM DUI 0203I}, the "RealView Compilation Tools Developer Guide".
1179 The CodeSourcery EABI toolchain also includes a semihosting library.},
1180 your target code can use I/O facilities on the debug host. That library
1181 provides a small set of system calls which are handled by OpenOCD.
1182 It can let the debugger provide your system console and a file system,
1183 helping with early debugging or providing a more capable environment
1184 for sometimes-complex tasks like installing system firmware onto
1185 NAND or SPI flash.
1186
1187 @item @b{ARM Wait-For-Interrupt}...
1188 Many ARM chips synchronize the JTAG clock using the core clock.
1189 Low power states which stop that core clock thus prevent JTAG access.
1190 Idle loops in tasking environments often enter those low power states
1191 via the @code{WFI} instruction (or its coprocessor equivalent, before ARMv7).
1192
1193 You may want to @emph{disable that instruction} in source code,
1194 or otherwise prevent using that state,
1195 to ensure you can get JTAG access at any time.@footnote{As a more
1196 polite alternative, some processors have special debug-oriented
1197 registers which can be used to change various features including
1198 how the low power states are clocked while debugging.
1199 The STM32 DBGMCU_CR register is an example; at the cost of extra
1200 power consumption, JTAG can be used during low power states.}
1201 For example, the OpenOCD @command{halt} command may not
1202 work for an idle processor otherwise.
1203
1204 @item @b{Delay after reset}...
1205 Not all chips have good support for debugger access
1206 right after reset; many LPC2xxx chips have issues here.
1207 Similarly, applications that reconfigure pins used for
1208 JTAG access as they start will also block debugger access.
1209
1210 To work with boards like this, @emph{enable a short delay loop}
1211 the first thing after reset, before "real" startup activities.
1212 For example, one second's delay is usually more than enough
1213 time for a JTAG debugger to attach, so that
1214 early code execution can be debugged
1215 or firmware can be replaced.
1216
1217 @item @b{Debug Communications Channel (DCC)}...
1218 Some processors include mechanisms to send messages over JTAG.
1219 Many ARM cores support these, as do some cores from other vendors.
1220 (OpenOCD may be able to use this DCC internally, speeding up some
1221 operations like writing to memory.)
1222
1223 Your application may want to deliver various debugging messages
1224 over JTAG, by @emph{linking with a small library of code}
1225 provided with OpenOCD and using the utilities there to send
1226 various kinds of message.
1227 @xref{softwaredebugmessagesandtracing,,Software Debug Messages and Tracing}.
1228
1229 @end itemize
1230
1231 @section Target Hardware Setup
1232
1233 Chip vendors often provide software development boards which
1234 are highly configurable, so that they can support all options
1235 that product boards may require. @emph{Make sure that any
1236 jumpers or switches match the system configuration you are
1237 working with.}
1238
1239 Common issues include:
1240
1241 @itemize @bullet
1242
1243 @item @b{JTAG setup} ...
1244 Boards may support more than one JTAG configuration.
1245 Examples include jumpers controlling pullups versus pulldowns
1246 on the nTRST and/or nSRST signals, and choice of connectors
1247 (e.g. which of two headers on the base board,
1248 or one from a daughtercard).
1249 For some Texas Instruments boards, you may need to jumper the
1250 EMU0 and EMU1 signals (which OpenOCD won't currently control).
1251
1252 @item @b{Boot Modes} ...
1253 Complex chips often support multiple boot modes, controlled
1254 by external jumpers. Make sure this is set up correctly.
1255 For example many i.MX boards from NXP need to be jumpered
1256 to "ATX mode" to start booting using the on-chip ROM, when
1257 using second stage bootloader code stored in a NAND flash chip.
1258
1259 Such explicit configuration is common, and not limited to
1260 booting from NAND. You might also need to set jumpers to
1261 start booting using code loaded from an MMC/SD card; external
1262 SPI flash; Ethernet, UART, or USB links; NOR flash; OneNAND
1263 flash; some external host; or various other sources.
1264
1265
1266 @item @b{Memory Addressing} ...
1267 Boards which support multiple boot modes may also have jumpers
1268 to configure memory addressing. One board, for example, jumpers
1269 external chipselect 0 (used for booting) to address either
1270 a large SRAM (which must be pre-loaded via JTAG), NOR flash,
1271 or NAND flash. When it's jumpered to address NAND flash, that
1272 board must also be told to start booting from on-chip ROM.
1273
1274 Your @file{board.cfg} file may also need to be told this jumper
1275 configuration, so that it can know whether to declare NOR flash
1276 using @command{flash bank} or instead declare NAND flash with
1277 @command{nand device}; and likewise which probe to perform in
1278 its @code{reset-init} handler.
1279
1280 A closely related issue is bus width. Jumpers might need to
1281 distinguish between 8 bit or 16 bit bus access for the flash
1282 used to start booting.
1283
1284 @item @b{Peripheral Access} ...
1285 Development boards generally provide access to every peripheral
1286 on the chip, sometimes in multiple modes (such as by providing
1287 multiple audio codec chips).
1288 This interacts with software
1289 configuration of pin multiplexing, where for example a
1290 given pin may be routed either to the MMC/SD controller
1291 or the GPIO controller. It also often interacts with
1292 configuration jumpers. One jumper may be used to route
1293 signals to an MMC/SD card slot or an expansion bus (which
1294 might in turn affect booting); others might control which
1295 audio or video codecs are used.
1296
1297 @end itemize
1298
1299 Plus you should of course have @code{reset-init} event handlers
1300 which set up the hardware to match that jumper configuration.
1301 That includes in particular any oscillator or PLL used to clock
1302 the CPU, and any memory controllers needed to access external
1303 memory and peripherals. Without such handlers, you won't be
1304 able to access those resources without working target firmware
1305 which can do that setup ... this can be awkward when you're
1306 trying to debug that target firmware. Even if there's a ROM
1307 bootloader which handles a few issues, it rarely provides full
1308 access to all board-specific capabilities.
1309
1310
1311 @node Config File Guidelines
1312 @chapter Config File Guidelines
1313
1314 This chapter is aimed at any user who needs to write a config file,
1315 including developers and integrators of OpenOCD and any user who
1316 needs to get a new board working smoothly.
1317 It provides guidelines for creating those files.
1318
1319 You should find the following directories under
1320 @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/scripts}, with config files maintained upstream. Use
1321 them as-is where you can; or as models for new files.
1322 @itemize @bullet
1323 @item @file{interface} ...
1324 These are for debug adapters. Files that specify configuration to use
1325 specific JTAG, SWD and other adapters go here.
1326 @item @file{board} ...
1327 Think Circuit Board, PWA, PCB, they go by many names. Board files
1328 contain initialization items that are specific to a board.
1329
1330 They reuse target configuration files, since the same
1331 microprocessor chips are used on many boards,
1332 but support for external parts varies widely. For
1333 example, the SDRAM initialization sequence for the board, or the type
1334 of external flash and what address it uses. Any initialization
1335 sequence to enable that external flash or SDRAM should be found in the
1336 board file. Boards may also contain multiple targets: two CPUs; or
1337 a CPU and an FPGA.
1338 @item @file{target} ...
1339 Think chip. The ``target'' directory represents the JTAG TAPs
1340 on a chip
1341 which OpenOCD should control, not a board. Two common types of targets
1342 are ARM chips and FPGA or CPLD chips.
1343 When a chip has multiple TAPs (maybe it has both ARM and DSP cores),
1344 the target config file defines all of them.
1345 @item @emph{more} ... browse for other library files which may be useful.
1346 For example, there are various generic and CPU-specific utilities.
1347 @end itemize
1348
1349 The @file{openocd.cfg} user config
1350 file may override features in any of the above files by
1351 setting variables before sourcing the target file, or by adding
1352 commands specific to their situation.
1353
1354 @section Interface Config Files
1355
1356 The user config file
1357 should be able to source one of these files with a command like this:
1358
1359 @example
1360 source [find interface/FOOBAR.cfg]
1361 @end example
1362
1363 A preconfigured interface file should exist for every debug adapter
1364 in use today with OpenOCD.
1365 That said, perhaps some of these config files
1366 have only been used by the developer who created it.
1367
1368 A separate chapter gives information about how to set these up.
1369 @xref{Debug Adapter Configuration}.
1370 Read the OpenOCD source code (and Developer's Guide)
1371 if you have a new kind of hardware interface
1372 and need to provide a driver for it.
1373
1374 @deffn {Command} {find} 'filename'
1375 Prints full path to @var{filename} according to OpenOCD search rules.
1376 @end deffn
1377
1378 @deffn {Command} {ocd_find} 'filename'
1379 Prints full path to @var{filename} according to OpenOCD search rules. This
1380 is a low level function used by the @command{find}. Usually you want
1381 to use @command{find}, instead.
1382 @end deffn
1383
1384 @section Board Config Files
1385 @cindex config file, board
1386 @cindex board config file
1387
1388 The user config file
1389 should be able to source one of these files with a command like this:
1390
1391 @example
1392 source [find board/FOOBAR.cfg]
1393 @end example
1394
1395 The point of a board config file is to package everything
1396 about a given board that user config files need to know.
1397 In summary the board files should contain (if present)
1398
1399 @enumerate
1400 @item One or more @command{source [find target/...cfg]} statements
1401 @item NOR flash configuration (@pxref{norconfiguration,,NOR Configuration})
1402 @item NAND flash configuration (@pxref{nandconfiguration,,NAND Configuration})
1403 @item Target @code{reset} handlers for SDRAM and I/O configuration
1404 @item JTAG adapter reset configuration (@pxref{Reset Configuration})
1405 @item All things that are not ``inside a chip''
1406 @end enumerate
1407
1408 Generic things inside target chips belong in target config files,
1409 not board config files. So for example a @code{reset-init} event
1410 handler should know board-specific oscillator and PLL parameters,
1411 which it passes to target-specific utility code.
1412
1413 The most complex task of a board config file is creating such a
1414 @code{reset-init} event handler.
1415 Define those handlers last, after you verify the rest of the board
1416 configuration works.
1417
1418 @subsection Communication Between Config files
1419
1420 In addition to target-specific utility code, another way that
1421 board and target config files communicate is by following a
1422 convention on how to use certain variables.
1423
1424 The full Tcl/Tk language supports ``namespaces'', but Jim-Tcl does not.
1425 Thus the rule we follow in OpenOCD is this: Variables that begin with
1426 a leading underscore are temporary in nature, and can be modified and
1427 used at will within a target configuration file.
1428
1429 Complex board config files can do the things like this,
1430 for a board with three chips:
1431
1432 @example
1433 # Chip #1: PXA270 for network side, big endian
1434 set CHIPNAME network
1435 set ENDIAN big
1436 source [find target/pxa270.cfg]
1437 # on return: _TARGETNAME = network.cpu
1438 # other commands can refer to the "network.cpu" target.
1439 $_TARGETNAME configure .... events for this CPU..
1440
1441 # Chip #2: PXA270 for video side, little endian
1442 set CHIPNAME video
1443 set ENDIAN little
1444 source [find target/pxa270.cfg]
1445 # on return: _TARGETNAME = video.cpu
1446 # other commands can refer to the "video.cpu" target.
1447 $_TARGETNAME configure .... events for this CPU..
1448
1449 # Chip #3: Xilinx FPGA for glue logic
1450 set CHIPNAME xilinx
1451 unset ENDIAN
1452 source [find target/spartan3.cfg]
1453 @end example
1454
1455 That example is oversimplified because it doesn't show any flash memory,
1456 or the @code{reset-init} event handlers to initialize external DRAM
1457 or (assuming it needs it) load a configuration into the FPGA.
1458 Such features are usually needed for low-level work with many boards,
1459 where ``low level'' implies that the board initialization software may
1460 not be working. (That's a common reason to need JTAG tools. Another
1461 is to enable working with microcontroller-based systems, which often
1462 have no debugging support except a JTAG connector.)
1463
1464 Target config files may also export utility functions to board and user
1465 config files. Such functions should use name prefixes, to help avoid
1466 naming collisions.
1467
1468 Board files could also accept input variables from user config files.
1469 For example, there might be a @code{J4_JUMPER} setting used to identify
1470 what kind of flash memory a development board is using, or how to set
1471 up other clocks and peripherals.
1472
1473 @subsection Variable Naming Convention
1474 @cindex variable names
1475
1476 Most boards have only one instance of a chip.
1477 However, it should be easy to create a board with more than
1478 one such chip (as shown above).
1479 Accordingly, we encourage these conventions for naming
1480 variables associated with different @file{target.cfg} files,
1481 to promote consistency and
1482 so that board files can override target defaults.
1483
1484 Inputs to target config files include:
1485
1486 @itemize @bullet
1487 @item @code{CHIPNAME} ...
1488 This gives a name to the overall chip, and is used as part of
1489 tap identifier dotted names.
1490 While the default is normally provided by the chip manufacturer,
1491 board files may need to distinguish between instances of a chip.
1492 @item @code{ENDIAN} ...
1493 By default @option{little} - although chips may hard-wire @option{big}.
1494 Chips that can't change endianness don't need to use this variable.
1495 @item @code{CPUTAPID} ...
1496 When OpenOCD examines the JTAG chain, it can be told verify the
1497 chips against the JTAG IDCODE register.
1498 The target file will hold one or more defaults, but sometimes the
1499 chip in a board will use a different ID (perhaps a newer revision).
1500 @end itemize
1501
1502 Outputs from target config files include:
1503
1504 @itemize @bullet
1505 @item @code{_TARGETNAME} ...
1506 By convention, this variable is created by the target configuration
1507 script. The board configuration file may make use of this variable to
1508 configure things like a ``reset init'' script, or other things
1509 specific to that board and that target.
1510 If the chip has 2 targets, the names are @code{_TARGETNAME0},
1511 @code{_TARGETNAME1}, ... etc.
1512 @end itemize
1513
1514 @subsection The reset-init Event Handler
1515 @cindex event, reset-init
1516 @cindex reset-init handler
1517
1518 Board config files run in the OpenOCD configuration stage;
1519 they can't use TAPs or targets, since they haven't been
1520 fully set up yet.
1521 This means you can't write memory or access chip registers;
1522 you can't even verify that a flash chip is present.
1523 That's done later in event handlers, of which the target @code{reset-init}
1524 handler is one of the most important.
1525
1526 Except on microcontrollers, the basic job of @code{reset-init} event
1527 handlers is setting up flash and DRAM, as normally handled by boot loaders.
1528 Microcontrollers rarely use boot loaders; they run right out of their
1529 on-chip flash and SRAM memory. But they may want to use one of these
1530 handlers too, if just for developer convenience.
1531
1532 @quotation Note
1533 Because this is so very board-specific, and chip-specific, no examples
1534 are included here.
1535 Instead, look at the board config files distributed with OpenOCD.
1536 If you have a boot loader, its source code will help; so will

1540
1541 Some of this code could probably be shared between different boards.
1542 For example, setting up a DRAM controller often doesn't differ by
1543 much except the bus width (16 bits or 32?) and memory timings, so a
1544 reusable TCL procedure loaded by the @file{target.cfg} file might take
1545 those as parameters.
1546 Similarly with oscillator, PLL, and clock setup;
1547 and disabling the watchdog.
1548 Structure the code cleanly, and provide comments to help
1549 the next developer doing such work.
1550 (@emph{You might be that next person} trying to reuse init code!)
1551
1552 The last thing normally done in a @code{reset-init} handler is probing
1553 whatever flash memory was configured. For most chips that needs to be
1554 done while the associated target is halted, either because JTAG memory
1555 access uses the CPU or to prevent conflicting CPU access.
1556
1557 @subsection JTAG Clock Rate
1558
1559 Before your @code{reset-init} handler has set up
1560 the PLLs and clocking, you may need to run with
1561 a low JTAG clock rate.
1562 @xref{jtagspeed,,JTAG Speed}.
1563 Then you'd increase that rate after your handler has
1564 made it possible to use the faster JTAG clock.
1565 When the initial low speed is board-specific, for example
1566 because it depends on a board-specific oscillator speed, then
1567 you should probably set it up in the board config file;
1568 if it's target-specific, it belongs in the target config file.
1569
1570 For most ARM-based processors the fastest JTAG clock@footnote{A FAQ
1571 @uref{http://www.arm.com/support/faqdev/4170.html} gives details.}
1572 is one sixth of the CPU clock; or one eighth for ARM11 cores.
1573 Consult chip documentation to determine the peak JTAG clock rate,
1574 which might be less than that.
1575
1576 @quotation Warning
1577 On most ARMs, JTAG clock detection is coupled to the core clock, so
1578 software using a @option{wait for interrupt} operation blocks JTAG access.
1579 Adaptive clocking provides a partial workaround, but a more complete
1580 solution just avoids using that instruction with JTAG debuggers.
1581 @end quotation
1582
1583 If both the chip and the board support adaptive clocking,
1584 use the @command{jtag_rclk}
1585 command, in case your board is used with JTAG adapter which
1586 also supports it. Otherwise use @command{adapter speed}.
1587 Set the slow rate at the beginning of the reset sequence,
1588 and the faster rate as soon as the clocks are at full speed.

1590 @anchor{theinitboardprocedure}
1591 @subsection The init_board procedure
1592 @cindex init_board procedure
1593
1594 The concept of @code{init_board} procedure is very similar to @code{init_targets}
1595 (@xref{theinittargetsprocedure,,The init_targets procedure}.) - it's a replacement of ``linear''
1596 configuration scripts. This procedure is meant to be executed when OpenOCD enters run stage
1597 (@xref{enteringtherunstage,,Entering the Run Stage},) after @code{init_targets}. The idea to have
1598 separate @code{init_targets} and @code{init_board} procedures is to allow the first one to configure
1599 everything target specific (internal flash, internal RAM, etc.) and the second one to configure
1600 everything board specific (reset signals, chip frequency, reset-init event handler, external memory, etc.).
1601 Additionally ``linear'' board config file will most likely fail when target config file uses
1602 @code{init_targets} scheme (``linear'' script is executed before @code{init} and @code{init_targets} - after),
1603 so separating these two configuration stages is very convenient, as the easiest way to overcome this
1604 problem is to convert board config file to use @code{init_board} procedure. Board config scripts don't
1605 need to override @code{init_targets} defined in target config files when they only need to add some specifics.
1606
1607 Just as @code{init_targets}, the @code{init_board} procedure can be overridden by ``next level'' script (which sources
1608 the original), allowing greater code reuse.
1609
1610 @example
1611 ### board_file.cfg ###
1612
1613 # source target file that does most of the config in init_targets
1614 source [find target/target.cfg]
1615
1616 proc enable_fast_clock @{@} @{
1617 # enables fast on-board clock source
1618 # configures the chip to use it
1619 @}
1620
1621 # initialize only board specifics - reset, clock, adapter frequency
1622 proc init_board @{@} @{
1623 reset_config trst_and_srst trst_pulls_srst
1624
1625 $_TARGETNAME configure -event reset-start @{

1628
1629 $_TARGETNAME configure -event reset-init @{

1633 @}
1634 @end example
1635
1636 @section Target Config Files
1637 @cindex config file, target
1638 @cindex target config file
1639
1640 Board config files communicate with target config files using
1641 naming conventions as described above, and may source one or
1642 more target config files like this:
1643
1644 @example
1645 source [find target/FOOBAR.cfg]
1646 @end example
1647
1648 The point of a target config file is to package everything
1649 about a given chip that board config files need to know.
1650 In summary the target files should contain
1651
1652 @enumerate
1653 @item Set defaults
1654 @item Add TAPs to the scan chain
1655 @item Add CPU targets (includes GDB support)
1656 @item CPU/Chip/CPU-Core specific features
1657 @item On-Chip flash
1658 @end enumerate
1659
1660 As a rule of thumb, a target file sets up only one chip.
1661 For a microcontroller, that will often include a single TAP,
1662 which is a CPU needing a GDB target, and its on-chip flash.
1663
1664 More complex chips may include multiple TAPs, and the target
1665 config file may need to define them all before OpenOCD
1666 can talk to the chip.
1667 For example, some phone chips have JTAG scan chains that include
1668 an ARM core for operating system use, a DSP,
1669 another ARM core embedded in an image processing engine,
1670 and other processing engines.
1671
1672 @subsection Default Value Boiler Plate Code
1673
1674 All target configuration files should start with code like this,
1675 letting board config files express environment-specific
1676 differences in how things should be set up.
1677
1678 @example
1679 # Boards may override chip names, perhaps based on role,
1680 # but the default should match what the vendor uses
1681 if @{ [info exists CHIPNAME] @} @{
1682 set _CHIPNAME $CHIPNAME
1683 @} else @{
1684 set _CHIPNAME sam7x256
1685 @}
1686
1687 # ONLY use ENDIAN with targets that can change it.
1688 if @{ [info exists ENDIAN] @} @{
1689 set _ENDIAN $ENDIAN
1690 @} else @{
1691 set _ENDIAN little
1692 @}
1693
1694 # TAP identifiers may change as chips mature, for example with
1695 # new revision fields (the "3" here). Pick a good default; you
1696 # can pass several such identifiers to the "jtag newtap" command.
1697 if @{ [info exists CPUTAPID ] @} @{
1698 set _CPUTAPID $CPUTAPID
1699 @} else @{
1700 set _CPUTAPID 0x3f0f0f0f
1701 @}
1702 @end example
1703 @c but 0x3f0f0f0f is for an str73x part ...
1704
1705 @emph{Remember:} Board config files may include multiple target
1706 config files, or the same target file multiple times
1707 (changing at least @code{CHIPNAME}).
1708
1709 Likewise, the target configuration file should define
1710 @code{_TARGETNAME} (or @code{_TARGETNAME0} etc) and
1711 use it later on when defining debug targets:
1712
1713 @example
1714 set _TARGETNAME $_CHIPNAME.cpu
1715 target create $_TARGETNAME arm7tdmi -chain-position $_TARGETNAME
1716 @end example
1717
1718 @subsection Adding TAPs to the Scan Chain
1719 After the ``defaults'' are set up,
1720 add the TAPs on each chip to the JTAG scan chain.
1721 @xref{TAP Declaration}, and the naming convention
1722 for taps.
1723
1724 In the simplest case the chip has only one TAP,
1725 probably for a CPU or FPGA.
1726 The config file for the Atmel AT91SAM7X256
1727 looks (in part) like this:
1728
1729 @example
1730 jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME cpu -irlen 4 -expected-id $_CPUTAPID
1731 @end example
1732
1733 A board with two such at91sam7 chips would be able
1734 to source such a config file twice, with different
1735 values for @code{CHIPNAME}, so
1736 it adds a different TAP each time.
1737
1738 If there are nonzero @option{-expected-id} values,
1739 OpenOCD attempts to verify the actual tap id against those values.
1740 It will issue error messages if there is mismatch, which
1741 can help to pinpoint problems in OpenOCD configurations.
1742
1743 @example
1744 JTAG tap: sam7x256.cpu tap/device found: 0x3f0f0f0f
1745 (Manufacturer: 0x787, Part: 0xf0f0, Version: 0x3)
1746 ERROR: Tap: sam7x256.cpu - Expected id: 0x12345678, Got: 0x3f0f0f0f
1747 ERROR: expected: mfg: 0x33c, part: 0x2345, ver: 0x1
1748 ERROR: got: mfg: 0x787, part: 0xf0f0, ver: 0x3
1749 @end example
1750
1751 There are more complex examples too, with chips that have
1752 multiple TAPs. Ones worth looking at include:
1753
1754 @itemize
1755 @item @file{target/omap3530.cfg} -- with disabled ARM and DSP,
1756 plus a JRC to enable them
1757 @item @file{target/str912.cfg} -- with flash, CPU, and boundary scan
1758 @item @file{target/ti_dm355.cfg} -- with ETM, ARM, and JRC (this JRC
1759 is not currently used)
1760 @end itemize
1761
1762 @subsection Add CPU targets
1763
1764 After adding a TAP for a CPU, you should set it up so that
1765 GDB and other commands can use it.
1766 @xref{CPU Configuration}.
1767 For the at91sam7 example above, the command can look like this;
1768 note that @code{$_ENDIAN} is not needed, since OpenOCD defaults
1769 to little endian, and this chip doesn't support changing that.
1770
1771 @example
1772 set _TARGETNAME $_CHIPNAME.cpu
1773 target create $_TARGETNAME arm7tdmi -chain-position $_TARGETNAME
1774 @end example
1775
1776 Work areas are small RAM areas associated with CPU targets.
1777 They are used by OpenOCD to speed up downloads,
1778 and to download small snippets of code to program flash chips.
1779 If the chip includes a form of ``on-chip-ram'' - and many do - define
1780 a work area if you can.
1781 Again using the at91sam7 as an example, this can look like:
1782
1783 @example
1784 $_TARGETNAME configure -work-area-phys 0x00200000 \
1785 -work-area-size 0x4000 -work-area-backup 0
1786 @end example
1787
1788 @anchor{definecputargetsworkinginsmp}
1789 @subsection Define CPU targets working in SMP
1790 @cindex SMP
1791 After setting targets, you can define a list of targets working in SMP.
1792
1793 @example
1794 set _TARGETNAME_1 $_CHIPNAME.cpu1
1795 set _TARGETNAME_2 $_CHIPNAME.cpu2
1796 target create $_TARGETNAME_1 cortex_a -chain-position $_CHIPNAME.dap \
1797 -coreid 0 -dbgbase $_DAP_DBG1
1798 target create $_TARGETNAME_2 cortex_a -chain-position $_CHIPNAME.dap \
1799 -coreid 1 -dbgbase $_DAP_DBG2
1800 #define 2 targets working in smp.
1801 target smp $_CHIPNAME.cpu2 $_CHIPNAME.cpu1
1802 @end example
1803 In the above example on cortex_a, 2 cpus are working in SMP.
1804 In SMP only one GDB instance is created and :
1805 @itemize @bullet
1806 @item a set of hardware breakpoint sets the same breakpoint on all targets in the list.
1807 @item halt command triggers the halt of all targets in the list.
1808 @item resume command triggers the write context and the restart of all targets in the list.
1809 @item following a breakpoint: the target stopped by the breakpoint is displayed to the GDB session.
1810 @item dedicated GDB serial protocol packets are implemented for switching/retrieving the target
1811 displayed by the GDB session @pxref{usingopenocdsmpwithgdb,,Using OpenOCD SMP with GDB}.
1812 @end itemize
1813
1814 The SMP behaviour can be disabled/enabled dynamically. On cortex_a following
1815 command have been implemented.
1816 @itemize @bullet
1817 @item cortex_a smp on : enable SMP mode, behaviour is as described above.
1818 @item cortex_a smp off : disable SMP mode, the current target is the one
1819 displayed in the GDB session, only this target is now controlled by GDB
1820 session. This behaviour is useful during system boot up.
1821 @item cortex_a smp : display current SMP mode.
1822 @item cortex_a smp_gdb : display/fix the core id displayed in GDB session see
1823 following example.
1824 @end itemize
1825
1826 @example
1827 >cortex_a smp_gdb
1828 gdb coreid 0 -> -1
1829 #0 : coreid 0 is displayed to GDB ,
1830 #-> -1 : next resume triggers a real resume
1831 > cortex_a smp_gdb 1
1832 gdb coreid 0 -> 1
1833 #0 :coreid 0 is displayed to GDB ,
1834 #->1 : next resume displays coreid 1 to GDB
1835 > resume
1836 > cortex_a smp_gdb
1837 gdb coreid 1 -> 1
1838 #1 :coreid 1 is displayed to GDB ,
1839 #->1 : next resume displays coreid 1 to GDB
1840 > cortex_a smp_gdb -1
1841 gdb coreid 1 -> -1
1842 #1 :coreid 1 is displayed to GDB,
1843 #->-1 : next resume triggers a real resume
1844 @end example
1845
1846
1847 @subsection Chip Reset Setup
1848
1849 As a rule, you should put the @command{reset_config} command
1850 into the board file. Most things you think you know about a
1851 chip can be tweaked by the board.
1852
1853 Some chips have specific ways the TRST and SRST signals are
1854 managed. In the unusual case that these are @emph{chip specific}
1855 and can never be changed by board wiring, they could go here.
1856 For example, some chips can't support JTAG debugging without
1857 both signals.
1858
1859 Provide a @code{reset-assert} event handler if you can.
1860 Such a handler uses JTAG operations to reset the target,
1861 letting this target config be used in systems which don't
1862 provide the optional SRST signal, or on systems where you
1863 don't want to reset all targets at once.
1864 Such a handler might write to chip registers to force a reset,
1865 use a JRC to do that (preferable -- the target may be wedged!),
1866 or force a watchdog timer to trigger.
1867 (For Cortex-M targets, this is not necessary. The target
1868 driver knows how to use trigger an NVIC reset when SRST is
1869 not available.)
1870
1871 Some chips need special attention during reset handling if
1872 they're going to be used with JTAG.
1873 An example might be needing to send some commands right
1874 after the target's TAP has been reset, providing a
1875 @code{reset-deassert-post} event handler that writes a chip
1876 register to report that JTAG debugging is being done.
1877 Another would be reconfiguring the watchdog so that it stops
1878 counting while the core is halted in the debugger.
1879
1880 JTAG clocking constraints often change during reset, and in
1881 some cases target config files (rather than board config files)
1882 are the right places to handle some of those issues.
1883 For example, immediately after reset most chips run using a
1884 slower clock than they will use later.
1885 That means that after reset (and potentially, as OpenOCD
1886 first starts up) they must use a slower JTAG clock rate
1887 than they will use later.
1888 @xref{jtagspeed,,JTAG Speed}.
1889
1890 @quotation Important
1891 When you are debugging code that runs right after chip
1892 reset, getting these issues right is critical.
1893 In particular, if you see intermittent failures when
1894 OpenOCD verifies the scan chain after reset,
1895 look at how you are setting up JTAG clocking.
1896 @end quotation
1897
1898 @anchor{theinittargetsprocedure}
1899 @subsection The init_targets procedure
1900 @cindex init_targets procedure
1901
1902 Target config files can either be ``linear'' (script executed line-by-line when parsed in
1903 configuration stage, @xref{configurationstage,,Configuration Stage},) or they can contain a special
1904 procedure called @code{init_targets}, which will be executed when entering run stage
1905 (after parsing all config files or after @code{init} command, @xref{enteringtherunstage,,Entering the Run Stage}.)
1906 Such procedure can be overridden by ``next level'' script (which sources the original).
1907 This concept facilitates code reuse when basic target config files provide generic configuration
1908 procedures and @code{init_targets} procedure, which can then be sourced and enhanced or changed in
1909 a ``more specific'' target config file. This is not possible with ``linear'' config scripts,
1910 because sourcing them executes every initialization commands they provide.
1911
1912 @example
1913 ### generic_file.cfg ###
1914
1915 proc setup_my_chip @{chip_name flash_size ram_size@} @{
1916 # basic initialization procedure ...
1917 @}
1918
1919 proc init_targets @{@} @{
1920 # initializes generic chip with 4kB of flash and 1kB of RAM
1921 setup_my_chip MY_GENERIC_CHIP 4096 1024
1922 @}

1924 ### specific_file.cfg ###

1929 # initializes specific chip with 128kB of flash and 64kB of RAM
1930 setup_my_chip MY_CHIP_WITH_128K_FLASH_64KB_RAM 131072 65536
1931 @}
1932 @end example
1933
1934 The easiest way to convert ``linear'' config files to @code{init_targets} version is to
1935 enclose every line of ``code'' (i.e. not @code{source} commands, procedures, etc.) in this procedure.
1936
1937 For an example of this scheme see LPC2000 target config files.
1938
1939 The @code{init_boards} procedure is a similar concept concerning board config files
1940 (@xref{theinitboardprocedure,,The init_board procedure}.)
1941
1942 @anchor{theinittargeteventsprocedure}
1943 @subsection The init_target_events procedure
1944 @cindex init_target_events procedure
1945
1946 A special procedure called @code{init_target_events} is run just after
1947 @code{init_targets} (@xref{theinittargetsprocedure,,The init_targets
1948 procedure}.) and before @code{init_board}
1949 (@xref{theinitboardprocedure,,The init_board procedure}.) It is used
1950 to set up default target events for the targets that do not have those
1951 events already assigned.
1952
1953 @subsection ARM Core Specific Hacks
1954
1955 If the chip has a DCC, enable it. If the chip is an ARM9 with some
1956 special high speed download features - enable it.
1957
1958 If present, the MMU, the MPU and the CACHE should be disabled.
1959
1960 Some ARM cores are equipped with trace support, which permits
1961 examination of the instruction and data bus activity. Trace
1962 activity is controlled through an ``Embedded Trace Module'' (ETM)
1963 on one of the core's scan chains. The ETM emits voluminous data
1964 through a ``trace port''. (@xref{armhardwaretracing,,ARM Hardware Tracing}.)
1965 If you are using an external trace port,
1966 configure it in your board config file.
1967 If you are using an on-chip ``Embedded Trace Buffer'' (ETB),
1968 configure it in your target config file.
1969
1970 @example
1971 etm config $_TARGETNAME 16 normal full etb
1972 etb config $_TARGETNAME $_CHIPNAME.etb
1973 @end example

1977 This applies @b{ONLY TO MICROCONTROLLERS} that have flash built in.

1994 @cindex translation
1995 If you have a configuration file for another hardware debugger
1996 or toolset (Abatron, BDI2000, BDI3000, CCS,
1997 Lauterbach, SEGGER, Macraigor, etc.), translating
1998 it into OpenOCD syntax is often quite straightforward. The most tricky
1999 part of creating a configuration script is oftentimes the reset init
2000 sequence where e.g. PLLs, DRAM and the like is set up.
2001
2002 One trick that you can use when translating is to write small
2003 Tcl procedures to translate the syntax into OpenOCD syntax. This
2004 can avoid manual translation errors and make it easier to
2005 convert other scripts later on.

2040 @section Configuration Stage
2041 @cindex configuration stage
2042 @cindex config command
2043
2044 When the OpenOCD server process starts up, it enters a
2045 @emph{configuration stage} which is the only time that
2046 certain commands, @emph{configuration commands}, may be issued.
2047 Normally, configuration commands are only available
2048 inside startup scripts.
2049
2050 In this manual, the definition of a configuration command is
2051 presented as a @emph{Config Command}, not as a @emph{Command}
2052 which may be issued interactively.
2053 The runtime @command{help} command also highlights configuration
2054 commands, and those which may be issued at any time.
2055
2056 Those configuration commands include declaration of TAPs,
2057 flash banks,
2058 the interface used for JTAG communication,
2059 and other basic setup.
2060 The server must leave the configuration stage before it
2061 may access or activate TAPs.
2062 After it leaves this stage, configuration commands may no
2063 longer be issued.
2064
2065 @deffn {Command} {command mode} [command_name]
2066 Returns the command modes allowed by a command: 'any', 'config', or
2067 'exec'. If no command is specified, returns the current command
2068 mode. Returns 'unknown' if an unknown command is given. Command can be
2069 multiple tokens. (command valid any time)
2070
2071 In this document, the modes are described as stages, 'config' and
2072 'exec' mode correspond configuration stage and run stage. 'any' means
2073 the command can be executed in either
2074 stages. @xref{configurationstage,,Configuration Stage}, and
2075 @xref{enteringtherunstage,,Entering the Run Stage}.
2076 @end deffn
2077
2078 @anchor{enteringtherunstage}
2079 @section Entering the Run Stage
2080
2081 The first thing OpenOCD does after leaving the configuration
2082 stage is to verify that it can talk to the scan chain
2083 (list of TAPs) which has been configured.
2084 It will warn if it doesn't find TAPs it expects to find,
2085 or finds TAPs that aren't supposed to be there.
2086 You should see no errors at this point.
2087 If you see errors, resolve them by correcting the
2088 commands you used to configure the server.
2089 Common errors include using an initial JTAG speed that's too
2090 fast, and not providing the right IDCODE values for the TAPs
2091 on the scan chain.
2092
2093 Once OpenOCD has entered the run stage, a number of commands
2094 become available.
2095 A number of these relate to the debug targets you may have declared.
2096 For example, the @command{mww} command will not be available until
2097 a target has been successfully instantiated.
2098 If you want to use those commands, you may need to force
2099 entry to the run stage.
2100
2101 @deffn {Config Command} {init}
2102 This command terminates the configuration stage and
2103 enters the run stage. This helps when you need to have
2104 the startup scripts manage tasks such as resetting the target,
2105 programming flash, etc. To reset the CPU upon startup, add "init" and
2106 "reset" at the end of the config script or at the end of the OpenOCD
2107 command line using the @option{-c} command line switch.
2108
2109 If this command does not appear in any startup/configuration file
2110 OpenOCD executes the command for you after processing all
2111 configuration files and/or command line options.
2112
2113 @b{NOTE:} This command normally occurs near the end of your
2114 openocd.cfg file to force OpenOCD to ``initialize'' and make the
2115 targets ready. For example: If your openocd.cfg file needs to
2116 read/write memory on your target, @command{init} must occur before
2117 the memory read/write commands. This includes @command{nand probe}.
2118
2119 @command{init} calls the following internal OpenOCD commands to initialize
2120 corresponding subsystems:
2121 @deffn {Config Command} {target init}
2122 @deffnx {Command} {transport init}
2123 @deffnx {Command} {dap init}
2124 @deffnx {Config Command} {flash init}
2125 @deffnx {Config Command} {nand init}
2126 @deffnx {Config Command} {pld init}
2127 @deffnx {Command} {tpiu init}
2128 @end deffn
2129
2130 At last, @command{init} executes all the commands that are specified in
2131 the TCL list @var{post_init_commands}. The commands are executed in the
2132 same order they occupy in the list. If one of the commands fails, then
2133 the error is propagated and OpenOCD fails too.
2134 @example
2135 lappend post_init_commands @{echo "OpenOCD successfully initialized."@}
2136 lappend post_init_commands @{echo "Have fun with OpenOCD !"@}
2137 @end example
2138 @end deffn
2139
2140 @deffn {Config Command} {noinit}
2141 Prevent OpenOCD from implicit @command{init} call at the end of startup.
2142 Allows issuing configuration commands over telnet or Tcl connection.
2143 When you are done with configuration use @command{init} to enter
2144 the run stage.
2145 @end deffn
2146
2147 @deffn {Overridable Procedure} {jtag_init}
2148 This is invoked at server startup to verify that it can talk
2149 to the scan chain (list of TAPs) which has been configured.
2150
2151 The default implementation first tries @command{jtag arp_init},
2152 which uses only a lightweight JTAG reset before examining the
2153 scan chain.
2154 If that fails, it tries again, using a harder reset
2155 from the overridable procedure @command{init_reset}.
2156
2157 Implementations must have verified the JTAG scan chain before
2158 they return.
2159 This is done by calling @command{jtag arp_init}
2160 (or @command{jtag arp_init-reset}).

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

2213 @deffn {Config Command} {tcl_port} [number]
2214 Specify or query the port used for a simplified RPC

2217 Intended as a machine interface.
2218 When not specified during the configuration stage,
2219 the port @var{number} defaults to 6666.

2292 @section Event Polling
2293
2294 Hardware debuggers are parts of asynchronous systems,
2295 where significant events can happen at any time.
2296 The OpenOCD server needs to detect some of these events,
2297 so it can report them to through TCL command line
2298 or to GDB.
2299
2300 Examples of such events include:
2301
2302 @itemize
2303 @item One of the targets can stop running ... maybe it triggers
2304 a code breakpoint or data watchpoint, or halts itself.
2305 @item Messages may be sent over ``debug message'' channels ... many
2306 targets support such messages sent over JTAG,
2307 for receipt by the person debugging or tools.
2308 @item Loss of power ... some adapters can detect these events.
2309 @item Resets not issued through JTAG ... such reset sources
2310 can include button presses or other system hardware, sometimes
2311 including the target itself (perhaps through a watchdog).
2312 @item Debug instrumentation sometimes supports event triggering
2313 such as ``trace buffer full'' (so it can quickly be emptied)
2314 or other signals (to correlate with code behavior).
2315 @end itemize
2316
2317 None of those events are signaled through standard JTAG signals.
2318 However, most conventions for JTAG connectors include voltage
2319 level and system reset (SRST) signal detection.
2320 Some connectors also include instrumentation signals, which
2321 can imply events when those signals are inputs.
2322
2323 In general, OpenOCD needs to periodically check for those events,
2324 either by looking at the status of signals on the JTAG connector
2325 or by sending synchronous ``tell me your status'' JTAG requests
2326 to the various active targets.
2327 There is a command to manage and monitor that polling,
2328 which is normally done in the background.
2329
2330 @deffn {Command} {poll} [@option{on}|@option{off}]
2331 Poll the current target for its current state.
2332 (Also, @pxref{targetcurstate,,target curstate}.)
2333 If that target is in debug mode, architecture
2334 specific information about the current state is printed.
2335 An optional parameter
2336 allows background polling to be enabled and disabled.
2337
2338 You could use this from the TCL command shell, or
2339 from GDB using @command{monitor poll} command.
2340 Leave background polling enabled while you're using GDB.
2341 @example
2342 > poll
2343 background polling: on
2344 target state: halted
2345 target halted in ARM state due to debug-request, \

2357
2358 Correctly installing OpenOCD includes making your operating system give
2359 OpenOCD access to debug adapters. Once that has been done, Tcl commands
2360 are used to select which one is used, and to configure how it is used.
2361
2362 @quotation Note
2363 Because OpenOCD started out with a focus purely on JTAG, you may find
2364 places where it wrongly presumes JTAG is the only transport protocol
2365 in use. Be aware that recent versions of OpenOCD are removing that
2366 limitation. JTAG remains more functional than most other transports.
2367 Other transports do not support boundary scan operations, or may be
2368 specific to a given chip vendor. Some might be usable only for
2369 programming flash memory, instead of also for debugging.
2370 @end quotation
2371
2372 Debug Adapters/Interfaces/Dongles are normally configured
2373 through commands in an interface configuration
2374 file which is sourced by your @file{openocd.cfg} file, or
2375 through a command line @option{-f interface/....cfg} option.

2385 @example

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

2638 @end deffn
2639
2640 @deffn {Command} {ftdi get_signal} name

2642 @end deffn
2643
2644 @deffn {Command} {ftdi tdo_sample_edge} @option{rising}|@option{falling}
2645 Configure TCK edge at which the adapter samples the value of the TDO signal
2646
2647 Due to signal propagation delays, sampling TDO on rising TCK can become quite
2648 peculiar at high JTAG clock speeds. However, FTDI chips offer a possibility to sample
2649 TDO on falling edge of TCK. With some board/adapter configurations, this may increase
2650 stability at higher JTAG clocks.
2651 @itemize @minus
2652 @item @option{rising}, sample TDO on rising edge of TCK - this is the default

2733 @end deffn
2734
2735 @deffn {Config Command} {ft232r restore_serial} @var{word}
2736 Restore serial port after JTAG. This USB bitmode control word
2737 (16-bit) will be sent before quit. Lower byte should
2738 set GPIO direction register to a "sane" state:
2739 0x15 for TXD RTS DTR as outputs (1), others as inputs (0). Higher
2740 byte is usually 0 to disable bitbang mode.
2741 When kernel driver reattaches, serial port should continue to work.
2742 Value 0xFFFF disables sending control word and serial port,
2743 then kernel driver will not reattach.
2744 If not specified, default 0xFFFF is used.

2748
2749 @deffn {Interface Driver} {remote_bitbang}
2750 Drive JTAG from a remote process. This sets up a UNIX or TCP socket connection
2751 with a remote process and sends ASCII encoded bitbang requests to that process
2752 instead of directly driving JTAG.
2753
2754 The remote_bitbang driver is useful for debugging software running on
2755 processors which are being simulated.
2756
2757 @deffn {Config Command} {remote_bitbang port} number
2758 Specifies the TCP port of the remote process to connect to or 0 to use UNIX
2759 sockets instead of TCP.
2760 @end deffn
2761
2762 @deffn {Config Command} {remote_bitbang host} hostname
2763 Specifies the hostname of the remote process to connect to using TCP, or the
2764 name of the UNIX socket to use if remote_bitbang port is 0.
2765 @end deffn
2766
2767 For example, to connect remotely via TCP to the host foobar you might have
2768 something like:

2787 USB JTAG/USB-Blaster compatibles over one of the userspace libraries
2788 for FTDI chips. These interfaces have several commands, used to
2789 configure the driver before initializing the JTAG scan chain:
2790
2791 @deffn {Config Command} {usb_blaster vid_pid} vid pid
2792 The vendor ID and product ID of the FTDI FT245 device. If not specified,
2793 default values are used.
2794 Currently, only one @var{vid}, @var{pid} pair may be given, e.g. for
2795 Altera USB-Blaster (default):
2796 @example
2797 usb_blaster vid_pid 0x09FB 0x6001
2798 @end example
2799 The following VID/PID is for Kolja Waschk's USB JTAG:
2800 @example
2801 usb_blaster vid_pid 0x16C0 0x06AD
2802 @end example
2803 @end deffn
2804
2805 @deffn {Command} {usb_blaster pin} (@option{pin6}|@option{pin8}) (@option{0}|@option{1}|@option{s}|@option{t})
2806 Sets the state or function of the unused GPIO pins on USB-Blasters
2807 (pins 6 and 8 on the female JTAG header). These pins can be used as
2808 SRST and/or TRST provided the appropriate connections are made on the
2809 target board.
2810
2811 For example, to use pin 6 as SRST:
2812 @example
2813 usb_blaster pin pin6 s
2814 reset_config srst_only
2815 @end example
2816 @end deffn
2817
2818 @deffn {Config Command} {usb_blaster lowlevel_driver} (@option{ftdi}|@option{ublast2})
2819 Chooses the low level access method for the adapter. If not specified,
2820 @option{ftdi} is selected unless it wasn't enabled during the
2821 configure stage. USB-Blaster II needs @option{ublast2}.
2822 @end deffn
2823
2824 @deffn {Config Command} {usb_blaster firmware} @var{path}

2844 SEGGER J-Link family of USB adapters. It currently supports JTAG and SWD
2845 transports.
2846
2847 @quotation Compatibility Note
2848 SEGGER released many firmware versions for the many hardware versions they
2849 produced. OpenOCD was extensively tested and intended to run on all of them,
2850 but some combinations were reported as incompatible. As a general
2851 recommendation, it is advisable to use the latest firmware version
2852 available for each hardware version. However the current V8 is a moving
2853 target, and SEGGER firmware versions released after the OpenOCD was
2854 released may not be compatible. In such cases it is recommended to
2855 revert to the last known functional version. For 0.5.0, this is from
2856 "Feb 8 2012 14:30:39", packed with 4.42c. For 0.6.0, the last known

2926 @deffn {Interface Driver} {kitprog}
2927 This driver is for Cypress Semiconductor's KitProg adapters. The KitProg is an
2928 SWD-only adapter that is designed to be used with Cypress's PSoC and PRoC device
2929 families, but it is possible to use it with some other devices. If you are using
2930 this adapter with a PSoC or a PRoC, you may need to add
2931 @command{kitprog_init_acquire_psoc} or @command{kitprog acquire_psoc} to your
2932 configuration script.
2933
2934 Note that this driver is for the proprietary KitProg protocol, not the CMSIS-DAP
2935 mode introduced in firmware 2.14. If the KitProg is in CMSIS-DAP mode, it cannot
2936 be used with this driver, and must either be used with the cmsis-dap driver or
2937 switched back to KitProg mode. See the Cypress KitProg User Guide for
2938 instructions on how to switch KitProg modes.
2939
2940 Known limitations:
2941 @itemize @bullet
2942 @item The frequency of SWCLK cannot be configured, and varies between 1.6 MHz
2943 and 2.7 MHz.
2944 @item For firmware versions below 2.14, "JTAG to SWD" sequences are replaced by
2945 "SWD line reset" in the driver. This is for two reasons. First, the KitProg does
2946 not support sending arbitrary SWD sequences, and only firmware 2.14 and later
2947 implement both "JTAG to SWD" and "SWD line reset" in firmware. Earlier firmware
2948 versions only implement "SWD line reset". Second, due to a firmware quirk, an
2949 SWD sequence must be sent after every target reset in order to re-establish
2950 communications with the target.
2951 @item Due in part to the limitation above, KitProg devices with firmware below
2952 version 2.14 will need to use @command{kitprog_init_acquire_psoc} in order to
2953 communicate with PSoC 5LP devices. This is because, assuming debug is not
2954 disabled on the PSoC, the PSoC 5LP needs its JTAG interface switched to SWD
2955 mode before communication can begin, but prior to firmware 2.14, "JTAG to SWD"
2956 could only be sent with an acquisition sequence.

3013 @deffn {Config Command} {parport port} [port_number]
3014 Display either the address of the I/O port
3015 (default: 0x378 for LPT1) or the number of the @file{/dev/parport} device.
3016 If a parameter is provided, first switch to use that port.
3017 This is a write-once setting.
3018
3019 When using PPDEV to access the parallel port, use the number of the parallel port:
3020 @option{parport port 0} (the default). If @option{parport port 0x378} is specified
3021 you may encounter a problem.
3022 @end deffn
3023
3024 @deffn {Config Command} {parport toggling_time} [nanoseconds]
3025 Displays how many nanoseconds the hardware needs to toggle TCK;
3026 the parport driver uses this value to obey the
3027 @command{adapter speed} configuration.
3028 When the optional @var{nanoseconds} parameter is given,
3029 that setting is changed before displaying the current value.
3030
3031 The default setting should work reasonably well on commodity PC hardware.
3032 However, you may want to calibrate for your specific hardware.
3033 @quotation Tip
3034 To measure the toggling time with a logic analyzer or a digital storage
3035 oscilloscope, follow the procedure below:
3036 @example
3037 > parport toggling_time 1000
3038 > adapter speed 500
3039 @end example
3040 This sets the maximum JTAG clock speed of the hardware, but
3041 the actual speed probably deviates from the requested 500 kHz.
3042 Now, measure the time between the two closest spaced TCK transitions.
3043 You can use @command{runtest 1000} or something similar to generate a
3044 large set of samples.
3045 Update the setting to match your measurement:
3046 @example
3047 > parport toggling_time <measured nanoseconds>
3048 @end example
3049 Now the clock speed will be a better match for @command{adapter speed}
3050 command given in OpenOCD scripts and event handlers.
3051
3052 You can do something similar with many digital multimeters, but note
3053 that you'll probably need to run the clock continuously for several
3054 seconds before it decides what clock rate to show. Adjust the
3055 toggling time up or down until the measured clock rate is a good
3056 match with the rate you specified in the @command{adapter speed} command;
3057 be conservative.

3689 @cindex Transport
3690 As noted earlier, depending on the version of OpenOCD you use,
3691 and the debug adapter you are using,
3692 several transports may be available to
3693 communicate with debug targets (or perhaps to program flash memory).
3694 @deffn {Command} {transport list}
3695 displays the names of the transports supported by this
3696 version of OpenOCD.
3697 @end deffn
3698
3699 @deffn {Command} {transport select} @option{transport_name}
3700 Select which of the supported transports to use in this OpenOCD session.
3701
3702 When invoked with @option{transport_name}, attempts to select the named
3703 transport. The transport must be supported by the debug adapter
3704 hardware and by the version of OpenOCD you are using (including the
3705 adapter's driver).
3706
3707 If no transport has been selected and no @option{transport_name} is
3708 provided, @command{transport select} auto-selects the first transport
3709 supported by the debug adapter.
3710
3711 @command{transport select} always returns the name of the session's selected
3712 transport, if any.
3713 @end deffn
3714
3715 @subsection JTAG Transport
3716 @cindex JTAG
3717 JTAG is the original transport supported by OpenOCD, and most
3718 of the OpenOCD commands support it.
3719 JTAG transports expose a chain of one or more Test Access Points (TAPs),
3720 each of which must be explicitly declared.
3721 JTAG supports both debugging and boundary scan testing.
3722 Flash programming support is built on top of debug support.
3723
3724 JTAG transport is selected with the command @command{transport select
3725 jtag}. Unless your adapter uses either @ref{hla_interface,the hla interface
3726 driver} (in which case the command is @command{transport select hla_jtag})
3727 or @ref{st_link_dap_interface,the st-link interface driver} (in which case
3728 the command is @command{transport select dapdirect_jtag}).
3729
3730 @subsection SWD Transport
3731 @cindex SWD
3732 @cindex Serial Wire Debug
3733 SWD (Serial Wire Debug) is an ARM-specific transport which exposes one
3734 Debug Access Point (DAP, which must be explicitly declared.
3735 (SWD uses fewer signal wires than JTAG.)
3736 SWD is debug-oriented, and does not support boundary scan testing.
3737 Flash programming support is built on top of debug support.
3738 (Some processors support both JTAG and SWD.)
3739
3740 SWD transport is selected with the command @command{transport select
3741 swd}. Unless your adapter uses either @ref{hla_interface,the hla interface
3742 driver} (in which case the command is @command{transport select hla_swd})
3743 or @ref{st_link_dap_interface,the st-link interface driver} (in which case
3744 the command is @command{transport select dapdirect_swd}).
3745
3746 @deffn {Config Command} {swd newdap} ...
3747 Declares a single DAP which uses SWD transport.
3748 Parameters are currently the same as "jtag newtap" but this is
3749 expected to change.
3750 @end deffn
3751
3752 @cindex SWD multi-drop
3753 The newer SWD devices (SW-DP v2 or SWJ-DP v2) support the multi-drop extension
3754 of SWD protocol: two or more devices can be connected to one SWD adapter.
3755 SWD transport works in multi-drop mode if @ref{dap_create,DAP} is configured
3756 with both @code{-dp-id} and @code{-instance-id} parameters regardless how many
3757 DAPs are created.
3758
3759 Not all adapters and adapter drivers support SWD multi-drop. Only the following
3760 adapter drivers are SWD multi-drop capable:
3761 cmsis_dap (use an adapter with CMSIS-DAP version 2.0), ftdi, all bitbang based.
3762

3764 @cindex SPI
3765 @cindex Serial Peripheral Interface
3766 The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a general purpose transport
3767 which uses four wire signaling. Some processors use it as part of a
3768 solution for flash programming.
3769
3770 @anchor{swimtransport}
3771 @subsection SWIM Transport
3772 @cindex SWIM
3773 @cindex Single Wire Interface Module
3774 The Single Wire Interface Module (SWIM) is a low-pin-count debug protocol used
3775 by the STMicroelectronics MCU family STM8 and documented in the
3776 @uref{https://www.st.com/resource/en/user_manual/cd00173911.pdf, User Manual UM470}.
3777
3778 SWIM does not support boundary scan testing nor multiple cores.
3779
3780 The SWIM transport is selected with the command @command{transport select swim}.
3781
3782 The concept of TAPs does not fit in the protocol since SWIM does not implement
3783 a scan chain. Nevertheless, the current SW model of OpenOCD requires defining a
3784 virtual SWIM TAP through the command @command{swim newtap basename tap_type}.
3785 The TAP definition must precede the target definition command
3786 @command{target create target_name stm8 -chain-position basename.tap_type}.
3787
3788 @anchor{jtagspeed}
3789 @section JTAG Speed
3790 JTAG clock setup is part of system setup.
3791 It @emph{does not belong with interface setup} since any interface
3792 only knows a few of the constraints for the JTAG clock speed.
3793 Sometimes the JTAG speed is
3794 changed during the target initialization process: (1) slow at
3795 reset, (2) program the CPU clocks, (3) run fast.
3796 Both the "slow" and "fast" clock rates are functions of the
3797 oscillators used, the chip, the board design, and sometimes
3798 power management software that may be active.
3799
3800 The speed used during reset, and the scan chain verification which
3801 follows reset, can be adjusted using a @code{reset-start}
3802 target event handler.
3803 It can then be reconfigured to a faster speed by a
3804 @code{reset-init} target event handler after it reprograms those
3805 CPU clocks, or manually (if something else, such as a boot loader,
3806 sets up those clocks).
3807 @xref{targetevents,,Target Events}.
3808 When the initial low JTAG speed is a chip characteristic, perhaps
3809 because of a required oscillator speed, provide such a handler
3810 in the target config file.
3811 When that speed is a function of a board-specific characteristic
3812 such as which speed oscillator is used, it belongs in the board
3813 config file instead.
3814 In both cases it's safest to also set the initial JTAG clock rate
3815 to that same slow speed, so that OpenOCD never starts up using a
3816 clock speed that's faster than the scan chain can support.
3817
3818 @example
3819 jtag_rclk 3000
3820 $_TARGET.cpu configure -event reset-start @{ jtag_rclk 3000 @}
3821 @end example
3822
3823 If your system supports adaptive clocking (RTCK), configuring
3824 JTAG to use that is probably the most robust approach.
3825 However, it introduces delays to synchronize clocks; so it
3826 may not be the fastest solution.
3827
3828 @b{NOTE:} Script writers should consider using @command{jtag_rclk}
3829 instead of @command{adapter speed}, but only for (ARM) cores and boards
3830 which support adaptive clocking.
3831
3832 @deffn {Command} {adapter speed} max_speed_kHz
3833 A non-zero speed is in KHZ. Hence: 3000 is 3mhz.
3834 JTAG interfaces usually support a limited number of
3835 speeds. The speed actually used won't be faster
3836 than the speed specified.
3837
3838 Chip data sheets generally include a top JTAG clock rate.
3839 The actual rate is often a function of a CPU core clock,
3840 and is normally less than that peak rate.
3841 For example, most ARM cores accept at most one sixth of the CPU clock.
3842
3843 Speed 0 (khz) selects RTCK method.
3844 @xref{faqrtck,,FAQ RTCK}.
3845 If your system uses RTCK, you won't need to change the
3846 JTAG clocking after setup.
3847 Not all interfaces, boards, or targets support ``rtck''.
3848 If the interface device can not
3849 support it, an error is returned when you try to use RTCK.

3865 @chapter Reset Configuration
3866 @cindex Reset Configuration
3867
3868 Every system configuration may require a different reset
3869 configuration. This can also be quite confusing.
3870 Resets also interact with @var{reset-init} event handlers,
3871 which do things like setting up clocks and DRAM, and
3872 JTAG clock rates. (@xref{jtagspeed,,JTAG Speed}.)
3873 They can also interact with JTAG routers.
3874 Please see the various board files for examples.
3875
3876 @quotation Note
3877 To maintainers and integrators:
3878 Reset configuration touches several things at once.
3879 Normally the board configuration file
3880 should define it and assume that the JTAG adapter supports
3881 everything that's wired up to the board's JTAG connector.
3882
3883 However, the target configuration file could also make note
3884 of something the silicon vendor has done inside the chip,
3885 which will be true for most (or all) boards using that chip.
3886 And when the JTAG adapter doesn't support everything, the
3887 user configuration file will need to override parts of
3888 the reset configuration provided by other files.

3893 There are many kinds of reset possible through JTAG, but

3900 resets all chips connected to the JTAG adapter, such as processors,

3918 There may be individual module resets.
3919 @end itemize
3920
3921 In the best case, OpenOCD can hold SRST, then reset
3922 the TAPs via TRST and send commands through JTAG to halt the
3923 CPU at the reset vector before the 1st instruction is executed.
3924 Then when it finally releases the SRST signal, the system is
3925 halted under debugger control before any code has executed.
3926 This is the behavior required to support the @command{reset halt}
3927 and @command{reset init} commands; after @command{reset init} a
3928 board-specific script might do things like setting up DRAM.

3932 @section SRST and TRST Issues
3933
3934 Because SRST and TRST are hardware signals, they can have a
3935 variety of system-specific constraints. Some of the most
3936 common issues are:
3937
3938 @itemize @bullet
3939
3940 @item @emph{Signal not available} ... Some boards don't wire
3941 SRST or TRST to the JTAG connector. Some JTAG adapters don't
3942 support such signals even if they are wired up.
3943 Use the @command{reset_config} @var{signals} options to say
3944 when either of those signals is not connected.
3945 When SRST is not available, your code might not be able to rely
3946 on controllers having been fully reset during code startup.
3947 Missing TRST is not a problem, since JTAG-level resets can
3948 be triggered using with TMS signaling.
3949
3950 @item @emph{Signals shorted} ... Sometimes a chip, board, or
3951 adapter will connect SRST to TRST, instead of keeping them separate.
3952 Use the @command{reset_config} @var{combination} options to say
3953 when those signals aren't properly independent.
3954
3955 @item @emph{Timing} ... Reset circuitry like a resistor/capacitor
3956 delay circuit, reset supervisor, or on-chip features can extend
3957 the effect of a JTAG adapter's reset for some time after the adapter
3958 stops issuing the reset. For example, there may be chip or board
3959 requirements that all reset pulses last for at least a
3960 certain amount of time; and reset buttons commonly have
3961 hardware debouncing.
3962 Use the @command{adapter srst delay} and @command{jtag_ntrst_delay}
3963 commands to say when extra delays are needed.
3964
3965 @item @emph{Drive type} ... Reset lines often have a pullup
3966 resistor, letting the JTAG interface treat them as open-drain
3967 signals. But that's not a requirement, so the adapter may need
3968 to use push/pull output drivers.
3969 Also, with weak pullups it may be advisable to drive
3970 signals to both levels (push/pull) to minimize rise times.
3971 Use the @command{reset_config} @var{trst_type} and
3972 @var{srst_type} parameters to say how to drive reset signals.
3973
3974 @item @emph{Special initialization} ... Targets sometimes need
3975 special JTAG initialization sequences to handle chip-specific
3976 issues (not limited to errata).
3977 For example, certain JTAG commands might need to be issued while
3978 the system as a whole is in a reset state (SRST active)
3979 but the JTAG scan chain is usable (TRST inactive).
3980 Many systems treat combined assertion of SRST and TRST as a
3981 trigger for a harder reset than SRST alone.
3982 Such custom reset handling is discussed later in this chapter.
3983 @end itemize
3984
3985 There can also be other issues.
3986 Some devices don't fully conform to the JTAG specifications.
3987 Trivial system-specific differences are common, such as
3988 SRST and TRST using slightly different names.
3989 There are also vendors who distribute key JTAG documentation for
3990 their chips only to developers who have signed a Non-Disclosure
3991 Agreement (NDA).
3992
3993 Sometimes there are chip-specific extensions like a requirement to use
3994 the normally-optional TRST signal (precluding use of JTAG adapters which
3995 don't pass TRST through), or needing extra steps to complete a TAP reset.
3996
3997 In short, SRST and especially TRST handling may be very finicky,
3998 needing to cope with both architecture and board specific constraints.

4011 When a board has a reset button connected to SRST line it will
4012 probably have hardware debouncing, implying you should use this.

4024 @end deffn
4025
4026 @anchor{reset_config}
4027 @deffn {Command} {reset_config} mode_flag ...
4028 This command displays or modifies the reset configuration
4029 of your combination of JTAG board and target in target
4030 configuration scripts.
4031
4032 Information earlier in this section describes the kind of problems
4033 the command is intended to address (@pxref{srstandtrstissues,,SRST and TRST Issues}).
4034 As a rule this command belongs only in board config files,
4035 describing issues like @emph{board doesn't connect TRST};
4036 or in user config files, addressing limitations derived
4037 from a particular combination of interface and board.
4038 (An unlikely example would be using a TRST-only adapter
4039 with a board that only wires up SRST.)
4040
4041 The @var{mode_flag} options can be specified in any order, but only one
4042 of each type -- @var{signals}, @var{combination}, @var{gates},
4043 @var{trst_type}, @var{srst_type} and @var{connect_type}
4044 -- may be specified at a time.
4045 If you don't provide a new value for a given type, its previous
4046 value (perhaps the default) is unchanged.
4047 For example, this means that you don't need to say anything at all about
4048 TRST just to declare that if the JTAG adapter should want to drive SRST,
4049 it must explicitly be driven high (@option{srst_push_pull}).
4050
4051 @itemize
4052 @item
4053 @var{signals} can specify which of the reset signals are connected.
4054 For example, If the JTAG interface provides SRST, but the board doesn't
4055 connect that signal properly, then OpenOCD can't use it.
4056 Possible values are @option{none} (the default), @option{trst_only},
4057 @option{srst_only} and @option{trst_and_srst}.
4058
4059 @quotation Tip
4060 If your board provides SRST and/or TRST through the JTAG connector,
4061 you must declare that so those signals can be used.
4062 @end quotation
4063
4064 @item
4065 The @var{combination} is an optional value specifying broken reset
4066 signal implementations.
4067 The default behaviour if no option given is @option{separate},
4068 indicating everything behaves normally.
4069 @option{srst_pulls_trst} states that the
4070 test logic is reset together with the reset of the system (e.g. NXP
4071 LPC2000, "broken" board layout), @option{trst_pulls_srst} says that
4072 the system is reset together with the test logic (only hypothetical, I
4073 haven't seen hardware with such a bug, and can be worked around).
4074 @option{combined} implies both @option{srst_pulls_trst} and
4075 @option{trst_pulls_srst}.
4076
4077 @item
4078 The @var{gates} tokens control flags that describe some cases where
4079 JTAG may be unavailable during reset.
4080 @option{srst_gates_jtag} (default)
4081 indicates that asserting SRST gates the
4082 JTAG clock. This means that no communication can happen on JTAG
4083 while SRST is asserted.
4084 Its converse is @option{srst_nogate}, indicating that JTAG commands
4085 can safely be issued while SRST is active.
4086
4087 @item
4088 The @var{connect_type} tokens control flags that describe some cases where
4089 SRST is asserted while connecting to the target. @option{srst_nogate}
4090 is required to use this option.
4091 @option{connect_deassert_srst} (default)
4092 indicates that SRST will not be asserted while connecting to the target.
4093 Its converse is @option{connect_assert_srst}, indicating that SRST will
4094 be asserted before any target connection.
4095 Only some targets support this feature, STM32 and STR9 are examples.
4096 This feature is useful if you are unable to connect to your target due
4097 to incorrect options byte config or illegal program execution.
4098 @end itemize
4099
4100 The optional @var{trst_type} and @var{srst_type} parameters allow the
4101 driver mode of each reset line to be specified. These values only affect
4102 JTAG interfaces with support for different driver modes, like the Amontec
4103 JTAGkey and JTAG Accelerator. Also, they are necessarily ignored if the
4104 relevant signal (TRST or SRST) is not connected.
4105
4106 @itemize
4107 @item
4108 Possible @var{trst_type} driver modes for the test reset signal (TRST)
4109 are the default @option{trst_push_pull}, and @option{trst_open_drain}.
4110 Most boards connect this signal to a pulldown, so the JTAG TAPs
4111 never leave reset unless they are hooked up to a JTAG adapter.
4112
4113 @item
4114 Possible @var{srst_type} driver modes for the system reset signal (SRST)
4115 are the default @option{srst_open_drain}, and @option{srst_push_pull}.
4116 Most boards connect this signal to a pullup, and allow the
4117 signal to be pulled low by various events including system
4118 power-up and pressing a reset button.

4120 @end deffn
4121
4122 @section Custom Reset Handling
4123 @cindex events
4124
4125 OpenOCD has several ways to help support the various reset
4126 mechanisms provided by chip and board vendors.
4127 The commands shown in the previous section give standard parameters.
4128 There are also @emph{event handlers} associated with TAPs or Targets.
4129 Those handlers are Tcl procedures you can provide, which are invoked
4130 at particular points in the reset sequence.
4131
4132 @emph{When SRST is not an option} you must set
4133 up a @code{reset-assert} event handler for your target.
4134 For example, some JTAG adapters don't include the SRST signal;
4135 and some boards have multiple targets, and you won't always
4136 want to reset everything at once.
4137
4138 After configuring those mechanisms, you might still
4139 find your board doesn't start up or reset correctly.
4140 For example, maybe it needs a slightly different sequence
4141 of SRST and/or TRST manipulations, because of quirks that
4142 the @command{reset_config} mechanism doesn't address;
4143 or asserting both might trigger a stronger reset, which
4144 needs special attention.
4145
4146 Experiment with lower level operations, such as
4147 @command{adapter assert}, @command{adapter deassert}
4148 and the @command{jtag arp_*} operations shown here,
4149 to find a sequence of operations that works.
4150 @xref{JTAG Commands}.
4151 When you find a working sequence, it can be used to override
4152 @command{jtag_init}, which fires during OpenOCD startup
4153 (@pxref{configurationstage,,Configuration Stage});
4154 or @command{init_reset}, which fires during reset processing.
4155
4156 You might also want to provide some project-specific reset
4157 schemes. For example, on a multi-target board the standard
4158 @command{reset} command would reset all targets, but you
4159 may need the ability to reset only one target at time and
4160 thus want to avoid using the board-wide SRST signal.
4161
4162 @deffn {Overridable Procedure} {init_reset} mode
4163 This is invoked near the beginning of the @command{reset} command,
4164 usually to provide as much of a cold (power-up) reset as practical.
4165 By default it is also invoked from @command{jtag_init} if
4166 the scan chain does not respond to pure JTAG operations.
4167 The @var{mode} parameter is the parameter given to the
4168 low level reset command (@option{halt},
4169 @option{init}, or @option{run}), @option{setup},
4170 or potentially some other value.
4171
4172 The default implementation just invokes @command{jtag arp_init-reset}.
4173 Replacements will normally build on low level JTAG
4174 operations such as @command{adapter assert} and @command{adapter deassert}.
4175 Operations here must not address individual TAPs
4176 (or their associated targets)
4177 until the JTAG scan chain has first been verified to work.
4178
4179 Implementations must have verified the JTAG scan chain before
4180 they return.
4181 This is done by calling @command{jtag arp_init}
4182 (or @command{jtag arp_init-reset}).
4183 @end deffn
4184
4185 @deffn {Command} {jtag arp_init}
4186 This validates the scan chain using just the four
4187 standard JTAG signals (TMS, TCK, TDI, TDO).
4188 It starts by issuing a JTAG-only reset.
4189 Then it performs checks to verify that the scan chain configuration
4190 matches the TAPs it can observe.
4191 Those checks include checking IDCODE values for each active TAP,
4192 and verifying the length of their instruction registers using
4193 TAP @code{-ircapture} and @code{-irmask} values.
4194 If these tests all pass, TAP @code{setup} events are
4195 issued to all TAPs with handlers for that event.
4196 @end deffn
4197
4198 @deffn {Command} {jtag arp_init-reset}
4199 This uses TRST and SRST to try resetting
4200 everything on the JTAG scan chain
4201 (and anything else connected to SRST).
4202 It then invokes the logic of @command{jtag arp_init}.

4206 @node TAP Declaration
4207 @chapter TAP Declaration
4208 @cindex TAP declaration
4209 @cindex TAP configuration
4210
4211 @emph{Test Access Ports} (TAPs) are the core of JTAG.
4212 TAPs serve many roles, including:
4213
4214 @itemize @bullet
4215 @item @b{Debug Target} A CPU TAP can be used as a GDB debug target.
4216 @item @b{Flash Programming} Some chips program the flash directly via JTAG.
4217 Others do it indirectly, making a CPU do it.
4218 @item @b{Program Download} Using the same CPU support GDB uses,
4219 you can initialize a DRAM controller, download code to DRAM, and then
4220 start running that code.
4221 @item @b{Boundary Scan} Most chips support boundary scan, which
4222 helps test for board assembly problems like solder bridges
4223 and missing connections.
4224 @end itemize
4225
4226 OpenOCD must know about the active TAPs on your board(s).
4227 Setting up the TAPs is the core task of your configuration files.
4228 Once those TAPs are set up, you can pass their names to code
4229 which sets up CPUs and exports them as GDB targets,
4230 probes flash memory, performs low-level JTAG operations, and more.
4231
4232 @section Scan Chains
4233 @cindex scan chain
4234
4235 TAPs are part of a hardware @dfn{scan chain},
4236 which is a daisy chain of TAPs.
4237 They also need to be added to
4238 OpenOCD's software mirror of that hardware list,
4239 giving each member a name and associating other data with it.
4240 Simple scan chains, with a single TAP, are common in
4241 systems with a single microcontroller or microprocessor.
4242 More complex chips may have several TAPs internally.
4243 Very complex scan chains might have a dozen or more TAPs:
4244 several in one chip, more in the next, and connecting
4245 to other boards with their own chips and TAPs.
4246
4247 You can display the list with the @command{scan_chain} command.
4248 (Don't confuse this with the list displayed by the @command{targets}
4249 command, presented in the next chapter.
4250 That only displays TAPs for CPUs which are configured as
4251 debugging targets.)
4252 Here's what the scan chain might look like for a chip more than one TAP:
4253
4254 @verbatim
4255 TapName Enabled IdCode Expected IrLen IrCap IrMask
4256 -- ------------------ ------- ---------- ---------- ----- ----- ------
4257 0 omap5912.dsp Y 0x03df1d81 0x03df1d81 38 0x01 0x03
4258 1 omap5912.arm Y 0x0692602f 0x0692602f 4 0x01 0x0f
4259 2 omap5912.unknown Y 0x00000000 0x00000000 8 0x01 0x03
4260 @end verbatim
4261
4262 OpenOCD can detect some of that information, but not all
4263 of it. @xref{autoprobing,,Autoprobing}.
4264 Unfortunately, those TAPs can't always be autoconfigured,
4265 because not all devices provide good support for that.
4266 JTAG doesn't require supporting IDCODE instructions, and
4267 chips with JTAG routers may not link TAPs into the chain
4268 until they are told to do so.
4269
4270 The configuration mechanism currently supported by OpenOCD
4271 requires explicit configuration of all TAP devices using
4272 @command{jtag newtap} commands, as detailed later in this chapter.
4273 A command like this would declare one tap and name it @code{chip1.cpu}:
4274
4275 @example
4276 jtag newtap chip1 cpu -irlen 4 -expected-id 0x3ba00477
4277 @end example
4278
4279 Each target configuration file lists the TAPs provided
4280 by a given chip.
4281 Board configuration files combine all the targets on a board,
4282 and so forth.
4283 Note that @emph{the order in which TAPs are declared is very important.}
4284 That declaration order must match the order in the JTAG scan chain,
4285 both inside a single chip and between them.
4286 @xref{faqtaporder,,FAQ TAP Order}.
4287
4288 For example, the STMicroelectronics STR912 chip has
4289 three separate TAPs@footnote{See the ST
4290 document titled: @emph{STR91xFAxxx, Section 3.15 Jtag Interface, Page:
4291 28/102, Figure 3: JTAG chaining inside the STR91xFA}.
4292 @url{http://eu.st.com/stonline/products/literature/ds/13495.pdf}}.
4293 To configure those taps, @file{target/str912.cfg}
4294 includes commands something like this:
4295
4296 @example
4297 jtag newtap str912 flash ... params ...
4298 jtag newtap str912 cpu ... params ...
4299 jtag newtap str912 bs ... params ...
4300 @end example
4301
4302 Actual config files typically use a variable such as @code{$_CHIPNAME}
4303 instead of literals like @option{str912}, to support more than one chip
4304 of each type. @xref{Config File Guidelines}.
4305
4306 @deffn {Command} {jtag names}
4307 Returns the names of all current TAPs in the scan chain.
4308 Use @command{jtag cget} or @command{jtag tapisenabled}
4309 to examine attributes and state of each TAP.
4310 @example
4311 foreach t [jtag names] @{
4312 puts [format "TAP: %s\n" $t]
4313 @}
4314 @end example
4315 @end deffn
4316
4317 @deffn {Command} {scan_chain}
4318 Displays the TAPs in the scan chain configuration,
4319 and their status.
4320 The set of TAPs listed by this command is fixed by
4321 exiting the OpenOCD configuration stage,
4322 but systems with a JTAG router can
4323 enable or disable TAPs dynamically.
4324 @end deffn
4325
4326 @c FIXME! "jtag cget" should be able to return all TAP
4327 @c attributes, like "$target_name cget" does for targets.
4328
4329 @c Probably want "jtag eventlist", and a "tap-reset" event
4330 @c (on entry to RESET state).
4331
4332 @section TAP Names
4333 @cindex dotted name
4334
4335 When TAP objects are declared with @command{jtag newtap},
4336 a @dfn{dotted.name} is created for the TAP, combining the
4337 name of a module (usually a chip) and a label for the TAP.
4338 For example: @code{xilinx.tap}, @code{str912.flash},
4339 @code{omap3530.jrc}, @code{dm6446.dsp}, or @code{stm32.cpu}.
4340 Many other commands use that dotted.name to manipulate or
4341 refer to the TAP. For example, CPU configuration uses the
4342 name, as does declaration of NAND or NOR flash banks.
4343
4344 The components of a dotted name should follow ``C'' symbol
4345 name rules: start with an alphabetic character, then numbers
4346 and underscores are OK; while others (including dots!) are not.
4347
4348 @section TAP Declaration Commands
4349
4350 @deffn {Config Command} {jtag newtap} chipname tapname configparams...
4351 Declares a new TAP with the dotted name @var{chipname}.@var{tapname},
4352 and configured according to the various @var{configparams}.
4353
4354 The @var{chipname} is a symbolic name for the chip.
4355 Conventionally target config files use @code{$_CHIPNAME},
4356 defaulting to the model name given by the chip vendor but
4357 overridable.
4358
4359 @cindex TAP naming convention
4360 The @var{tapname} reflects the role of that TAP,
4361 and should follow this convention:
4362
4363 @itemize @bullet
4364 @item @code{bs} -- For boundary scan if this is a separate TAP;
4365 @item @code{cpu} -- The main CPU of the chip, alternatively
4366 @code{arm} and @code{dsp} on chips with both ARM and DSP CPUs,
4367 @code{arm1} and @code{arm2} on chips with two ARMs, and so forth;
4368 @item @code{etb} -- For an embedded trace buffer (example: an ARM ETB11);
4369 @item @code{flash} -- If the chip has a flash TAP, like the str912;
4370 @item @code{jrc} -- For JTAG route controller (example: the ICEPick modules
4371 on many Texas Instruments chips, like the OMAP3530 on Beagleboards);
4372 @item @code{tap} -- Should be used only for FPGA- or CPLD-like devices
4373 with a single TAP;
4374 @item @code{unknownN} -- If you have no idea what the TAP is for (N is a number);
4375 @item @emph{when in doubt} -- Use the chip maker's name in their data sheet.
4376 For example, the Freescale i.MX31 has a SDMA (Smart DMA) with
4377 a JTAG TAP; that TAP should be named @code{sdma}.
4378 @end itemize
4379
4380 Every TAP requires at least the following @var{configparams}:
4381
4382 @itemize @bullet
4383 @item @code{-irlen} @var{NUMBER}
4384 @*The length in bits of the
4385 instruction register, such as 4 or 5 bits.
4386 @end itemize
4387
4388 A TAP may also provide optional @var{configparams}:
4389
4390 @itemize @bullet
4391 @item @code{-disable} (or @code{-enable})
4392 @*Use the @code{-disable} parameter to flag a TAP which is not
4393 linked into the scan chain after a reset using either TRST
4394 or the JTAG state machine's @sc{reset} state.
4395 You may use @code{-enable} to highlight the default state
4396 (the TAP is linked in).
4397 @xref{enablinganddisablingtaps,,Enabling and Disabling TAPs}.
4398 @item @code{-expected-id} @var{NUMBER}
4399 @*A non-zero @var{number} represents a 32-bit IDCODE
4400 which you expect to find when the scan chain is examined.
4401 These codes are not required by all JTAG devices.
4402 @emph{Repeat the option} as many times as required if more than one
4403 ID code could appear (for example, multiple versions).
4404 Specify @var{number} as zero to suppress warnings about IDCODE
4405 values that were found but not included in the list.
4406
4407 Provide this value if at all possible, since it lets OpenOCD
4408 tell when the scan chain it sees isn't right. These values
4409 are provided in vendors' chip documentation, usually a technical
4410 reference manual. Sometimes you may need to probe the JTAG
4411 hardware to find these values.
4412 @xref{autoprobing,,Autoprobing}.
4413 @item @code{-ignore-version}
4414 @*Specify this to ignore the JTAG version field in the @code{-expected-id}
4415 option. When vendors put out multiple versions of a chip, or use the same
4416 JTAG-level ID for several largely-compatible chips, it may be more practical
4417 to ignore the version field than to update config files to handle all of
4418 the various chip IDs. The version field is defined as bit 28-31 of the IDCODE.
4419 @item @code{-ignore-bypass}
4420 @*Specify this to ignore the 'bypass' bit of the idcode. Some vendor put
4421 an invalid idcode regarding this bit. Specify this to ignore this bit and
4422 to not consider this tap in bypass mode.
4423 @item @code{-ircapture} @var{NUMBER}
4424 @*The bit pattern loaded by the TAP into the JTAG shift register
4425 on entry to the @sc{ircapture} state, such as 0x01.
4426 JTAG requires the two LSBs of this value to be 01.
4427 By default, @code{-ircapture} and @code{-irmask} are set
4428 up to verify that two-bit value. You may provide
4429 additional bits if you know them, or indicate that
4430 a TAP doesn't conform to the JTAG specification.
4431 @item @code{-irmask} @var{NUMBER}
4432 @*A mask used with @code{-ircapture}
4433 to verify that instruction scans work correctly.
4434 Such scans are not used by OpenOCD except to verify that
4435 there seems to be no problems with JTAG scan chain operations.
4436 @item @code{-ignore-syspwrupack}
4437 @*Specify this to ignore the CSYSPWRUPACK bit in the ARM DAP DP CTRL/STAT
4438 register during initial examination and when checking the sticky error bit.
4439 This bit is normally checked after setting the CSYSPWRUPREQ bit, but some
4440 devices do not set the ack bit until sometime later.

4454 (It is not a direct analogue of the @code{cget}/@code{configure}
4455 mechanism for debugger targets.)
4456 See the next section for information about the available events.
4457
4458 The @code{configure} subcommand assigns an event handler,
4459 a TCL string which is evaluated when the event is triggered.
4460 The @code{cget} subcommand returns that handler.

4462
4463 @section TAP Events
4464 @cindex events
4465 @cindex TAP events
4466
4467 OpenOCD includes two event mechanisms.
4468 The one presented here applies to all JTAG TAPs.
4469 The other applies to debugger targets,
4470 which are associated with certain TAPs.
4471
4472 The TAP events currently defined are:
4473
4474 @itemize @bullet
4475 @item @b{post-reset}
4476 @* The TAP has just completed a JTAG reset.
4477 The tap may still be in the JTAG @sc{reset} state.
4478 Handlers for these events might perform initialization sequences
4479 such as issuing TCK cycles, TMS sequences to ensure
4480 exit from the ARM SWD mode, and more.
4481
4482 Because the scan chain has not yet been verified, handlers for these events
4483 @emph{should not issue commands which scan the JTAG IR or DR registers}
4484 of any particular target.
4485 @b{NOTE:} As this is written (September 2009), nothing prevents such access.
4486 @item @b{setup}
4487 @* The scan chain has been reset and verified.
4488 This handler may enable TAPs as needed.
4489 @item @b{tap-disable}
4490 @* The TAP needs to be disabled. This handler should
4491 implement @command{jtag tapdisable}
4492 by issuing the relevant JTAG commands.
4493 @item @b{tap-enable}
4494 @* The TAP needs to be enabled. This handler should
4495 implement @command{jtag tapenable}
4496 by issuing the relevant JTAG commands.
4497 @end itemize
4498
4499 If you need some action after each JTAG reset which isn't actually
4500 specific to any TAP (since you can't yet trust the scan chain's
4501 contents to be accurate), you might:
4502
4503 @example
4504 jtag configure CHIP.jrc -event post-reset @{
4505 echo "JTAG Reset done"
4506 ... non-scan jtag operations to be done after reset
4507 @}
4508 @end example
4509
4510
4511 @anchor{enablinganddisablingtaps}
4512 @section Enabling and Disabling TAPs
4513 @cindex JTAG Route Controller
4514 @cindex jrc
4515
4516 In some systems, a @dfn{JTAG Route Controller} (JRC)
4517 is used to enable and/or disable specific JTAG TAPs.
4518 Many ARM-based chips from Texas Instruments include
4519 an ``ICEPick'' module, which is a JRC.
4520 Such chips include DaVinci and OMAP3 processors.
4521
4522 A given TAP may not be visible until the JRC has been
4523 told to link it into the scan chain; and if the JRC
4524 has been told to unlink that TAP, it will no longer
4525 be visible.
4526 Such routers address problems that JTAG ``bypass mode''
4527 ignores, such as:
4528
4529 @itemize
4530 @item The scan chain can only go as fast as its slowest TAP.
4531 @item Having many TAPs slows instruction scans, since all
4532 TAPs receive new instructions.
4533 @item TAPs in the scan chain must be powered up, which wastes
4534 power and prevents debugging some power management mechanisms.
4535 @end itemize
4536
4537 The IEEE 1149.1 JTAG standard has no concept of a ``disabled'' tap,
4538 as implied by the existence of JTAG routers.
4539 However, the upcoming IEEE 1149.7 framework (layered on top of JTAG)
4540 does include a kind of JTAG router functionality.
4541
4542 @c (a) currently the event handlers don't seem to be able to
4543 @c fail in a way that could lead to no-change-of-state.
4544
4545 In OpenOCD, tap enabling/disabling is invoked by the Tcl commands
4546 shown below, and is implemented using TAP event handlers.
4547 So for example, when defining a TAP for a CPU connected to
4548 a JTAG router, your @file{target.cfg} file
4549 should define TAP event handlers using
4550 code that looks something like this:
4551
4552 @example
4553 jtag configure CHIP.cpu -event tap-enable @{
4554 ... jtag operations using CHIP.jrc
4555 @}
4556 jtag configure CHIP.cpu -event tap-disable @{
4557 ... jtag operations using CHIP.jrc
4558 @}
4559 @end example
4560
4561 Then you might want that CPU's TAP enabled almost all the time:
4562
4563 @example
4564 jtag configure $CHIP.jrc -event setup "jtag tapenable $CHIP.cpu"
4565 @end example
4566
4567 Note how that particular setup event handler declaration
4568 uses quotes to evaluate @code{$CHIP} when the event is configured.
4569 Using brackets @{ @} would cause it to be evaluated later,
4570 at runtime, when it might have a different value.
4571
4572 @deffn {Command} {jtag tapdisable} dotted.name
4573 If necessary, disables the tap
4574 by sending it a @option{tap-disable} event.
4575 Returns the string "1" if the tap
4576 specified by @var{dotted.name} is enabled,
4577 and "0" if it is disabled.
4578 @end deffn
4579
4580 @deffn {Command} {jtag tapenable} dotted.name
4581 If necessary, enables the tap
4582 by sending it a @option{tap-enable} event.
4583 Returns the string "1" if the tap
4584 specified by @var{dotted.name} is enabled,
4585 and "0" if it is disabled.
4586 @end deffn
4587
4588 @deffn {Command} {jtag tapisenabled} dotted.name
4589 Returns the string "1" if the tap
4590 specified by @var{dotted.name} is enabled,
4591 and "0" if it is disabled.
4592
4593 @quotation Note
4594 Humans will find the @command{scan_chain} command more helpful
4595 for querying the state of the JTAG taps.

4604 TAP configuration is the first thing that needs to be done
4605 after interface and reset configuration. Sometimes it's
4606 hard finding out what TAPs exist, or how they are identified.
4607 Vendor documentation is not always easy to find and use.
4608
4609 To help you get past such problems, OpenOCD has a limited
4610 @emph{autoprobing} ability to look at the scan chain, doing
4611 a @dfn{blind interrogation} and then reporting the TAPs it finds.
4612 To use this mechanism, start the OpenOCD server with only data
4613 that configures your JTAG interface, and arranges to come up
4614 with a slow clock (many devices don't support fast JTAG clocks
4615 right when they come out of reset).
4616
4617 For example, your @file{openocd.cfg} file might have:
4618
4619 @example
4620 source [find interface/olimex-arm-usb-tiny-h.cfg]
4621 reset_config trst_and_srst
4622 jtag_rclk 8
4623 @end example
4624
4625 When you start the server without any TAPs configured, it will
4626 attempt to autoconfigure the TAPs. There are two parts to this:
4627
4628 @enumerate
4629 @item @emph{TAP discovery} ...
4630 After a JTAG reset (sometimes a system reset may be needed too),
4631 each TAP's data registers will hold the contents of either the
4632 IDCODE or BYPASS register.
4633 If JTAG communication is working, OpenOCD will see each TAP,
4634 and report what @option{-expected-id} to use with it.
4635 @item @emph{IR Length discovery} ...
4636 Unfortunately JTAG does not provide a reliable way to find out
4637 the value of the @option{-irlen} parameter to use with a TAP
4638 that is discovered.
4639 If OpenOCD can discover the length of a TAP's instruction
4640 register, it will report it.
4641 Otherwise you may need to consult vendor documentation, such
4642 as chip data sheets or BSDL files.
4643 @end enumerate
4644
4645 In many cases your board will have a simple scan chain with just
4646 a single device. Here's what OpenOCD reported with one board
4647 that's a bit more complex:
4648
4649 @example
4650 clock speed 8 kHz
4651 There are no enabled taps. AUTO PROBING MIGHT NOT WORK!!
4652 AUTO auto0.tap - use "jtag newtap auto0 tap -expected-id 0x2b900f0f ..."
4653 AUTO auto1.tap - use "jtag newtap auto1 tap -expected-id 0x07926001 ..."
4654 AUTO auto2.tap - use "jtag newtap auto2 tap -expected-id 0x0b73b02f ..."
4655 AUTO auto0.tap - use "... -irlen 4"
4656 AUTO auto1.tap - use "... -irlen 4"
4657 AUTO auto2.tap - use "... -irlen 6"
4658 no gdb ports allocated as no target has been specified
4659 @end example
4660
4661 Given that information, you should be able to either find some existing
4662 config files to use, or create your own. If you create your own, you
4663 would configure from the bottom up: first a @file{target.cfg} file
4664 with these TAPs, any targets associated with them, and any on-chip
4665 resources; then a @file{board.cfg} with off-chip resources, clocking,
4666 and so forth.

4672 Since OpenOCD version 0.11.0, the Debug Access Port (DAP) is
4673 no longer implicitly created together with the target. It must be
4674 explicitly declared using the @command{dap create} command. For all ARMv6-M, ARMv7
4675 and ARMv8 targets, the option "@option{-dap} @var{dap_name}" has to be used
4676 instead of "@option{-chain-position} @var{dotted.name}" when the target is created.
4677
4678 The @command{dap} command group supports the following sub-commands:
4679
4680 @anchor{dap_create}
4681 @deffn {Command} {dap create} dap_name @option{-chain-position} dotted.name configparams...
4682 Declare a DAP instance named @var{dap_name} linked to the JTAG tap
4683 @var{dotted.name}. This also creates a new command (@command{dap_name})
4684 which is used for various purposes including additional configuration.
4685 There can only be one DAP for each JTAG tap in the system.
4686
4687 A DAP may also provide optional @var{configparams}:
4688

4691 Specify that it's an ADIv5 DAP. This is the default if not specified.

4694 @item @code{-ignore-syspwrupack}
4695 Specify this to ignore the CSYSPWRUPACK bit in the ARM DAP DP CTRL/STAT
4696 register during initial examination and when checking the sticky error bit.
4697 This bit is normally checked after setting the CSYSPWRUPREQ bit, but some
4698 devices do not set the ack bit until sometime later.

4790
4791 @deffn {Command} {$dap_name apcsw} [value [mask]]
4792 Displays or changes CSW bit pattern for MEM-AP transfers.
4793
4794 At the begin of each memory access the CSW pattern is extended (bitwise or-ed)
4795 by @dfn{Size} and @dfn{AddrInc} bit-fields according to transfer requirements
4796 and the result is written to the real CSW register. All bits except dynamically
4797 updated fields @dfn{Size} and @dfn{AddrInc} can be changed by changing
4798 the CSW pattern. Refer to ARM ADI v5 manual chapter 7.6.4 and appendix A
4799 for details.
4800
4801 Use @var{value} only syntax if you want to set the new CSW pattern as a whole.
4802 The example sets HPROT1 bit (required by Cortex-M) and clears the rest of
4803 the pattern:
4804 @example
4805 kx.dap apcsw 0x2000000
4806 @end example
4807
4808 If @var{mask} is also used, the CSW pattern is changed only on bit positions
4809 where the mask bit is 1. The following example sets HPROT3 (cacheable)
4810 and leaves the rest of the pattern intact. It configures memory access through
4811 DCache on Cortex-M7.
4812 @example
4813 set CSW_HPROT3_CACHEABLE [expr @{1 << 27@}]
4814 samv.dap apcsw $CSW_HPROT3_CACHEABLE $CSW_HPROT3_CACHEABLE
4815 @end example
4816
4817 Another example clears SPROT bit and leaves the rest of pattern intact:
4818 @example
4819 set CSW_SPROT [expr @{1 << 30@}]
4820 samv.dap apcsw 0 $CSW_SPROT
4821 @end example
4822
4823 @emph{Note:} If you want to check the real value of CSW, not CSW pattern, use
4824 @code{xxx.dap apreg 0}. @xref{DAP subcommand apreg,,}.
4825
4826 @emph{Warning:} Some of the CSW bits are vital for working memory transfer.
4827 If you set a wrong CSW pattern and MEM-AP stopped working, use the following
4828 example with a proper dap name:

4864 That name should normally be the same as the TAP name.
4865 You can display the list with the @command{targets}
4866 (plural!) command.
4867 This display often has only one CPU; here's what it might
4868 look like with more than one:
4869 @verbatim
4870 TargetName Type Endian TapName State
4871 -- ------------------ ---------- ------ ------------------ ------------
4872 0* at91rm9200.cpu arm920t little at91rm9200.cpu running
4873 1 MyTarget cortex_m little mychip.foo tap-disabled
4874 @end verbatim
4875
4876 One member of that list is the @dfn{current target}, which
4877 is implicitly referenced by many commands.
4878 It's the one marked with a @code{*} near the target name.
4879 In particular, memory addresses often refer to the address
4880 space seen by that current target.
4881 Commands like @command{mdw} (memory display words)
4882 and @command{flash erase_address} (erase NOR flash blocks)
4883 are examples; and there are many more.
4884
4885 Several commands let you examine the list of targets:
4886
4887 @deffn {Command} {target current}
4888 Returns the name of the current target.
4889 @end deffn
4890
4891 @deffn {Command} {target names}
4892 Lists the names of all current targets in the list.
4893 @example
4894 foreach t [target names] @{
4895 puts [format "Target: %s\n" $t]
4896 @}
4897 @end example
4898 @end deffn
4899
4900 @c yep, "target list" would have been better.
4901 @c plus maybe "target setdefault".
4902
4903 @deffn {Command} {targets} [name]
4904 @emph{Note: the name of this command is plural. Other target
4905 command names are singular.}
4906
4907 With no parameter, this command displays a table of all known
4908 targets in a user friendly form.
4909
4910 With a parameter, this command sets the current target to
4911 the given target with the given @var{name}; this is
4912 only relevant on boards which have more than one target.
4913 @end deffn
4914
4915 @section Target CPU Types
4916 @cindex target type
4917 @cindex CPU type
4918
4919 Each target has a @dfn{CPU type}, as shown in the output of
4920 the @command{targets} command. You need to specify that type
4921 when calling @command{target create}.
4922 The CPU type indicates more than just the instruction set.
4923 It also indicates how that instruction set is implemented,
4924 what kind of debug support it integrates,
4925 whether it has an MMU (and if so, what kind),
4926 what core-specific commands may be available
4927 (@pxref{Architecture and Core Commands}),
4928 and more.
4929
4930 It's easy to see what target types are supported,
4931 since there's a command to list them.
4932
4933 @anchor{targettypes}
4934 @deffn {Command} {target types}

5015 @anchor{targetconfiguration}
5016 @section Target Configuration
5017
5018 Before creating a ``target'', you must have added its TAP to the scan chain.
5019 When you've added that TAP, you will have a @code{dotted.name}
5020 which is used to set up the CPU support.
5021 The chip-specific configuration file will normally configure its CPU(s)
5022 right after it adds all of the chip's TAPs to the scan chain.
5023
5024 Although you can set up a target in one step, it's often clearer if you
5025 use shorter commands and do it in two steps: create it, then configure
5026 optional parts.
5027 All operations on the target after it's created will use a new
5028 command, created as part of target creation.
5029
5030 The two main things to configure after target creation are
5031 a work area, which usually has target-specific defaults even
5032 if the board setup code overrides them later;
5033 and event handlers (@pxref{targetevents,,Target Events}), which tend
5034 to be much more board-specific.
5035 The key steps you use might look something like this
5036
5037 @example
5038 dap create mychip.dap -chain-position mychip.cpu
5039 target create MyTarget cortex_m -dap mychip.dap
5040 MyTarget configure -work-area-phys 0x08000 -work-area-size 8096
5041 MyTarget configure -event reset-deassert-pre @{ jtag_rclk 5 @}
5042 MyTarget configure -event reset-init @{ myboard_reinit @}
5043 @end example
5044
5045 You should specify a working area if you can; typically it uses some
5046 on-chip SRAM.
5047 Such a working area can speed up many things, including bulk
5048 writes to target memory;
5049 flash operations like checking to see if memory needs to be erased;
5050 GDB memory checksumming;
5051 and more.
5052
5053 @quotation Warning
5054 On more complex chips, the work area can become
5055 inaccessible when application code
5056 (such as an operating system)
5057 enables or disables the MMU.
5058 For example, the particular MMU context used to access the virtual
5059 address will probably matter ... and that context might not have
5060 easy access to other addresses needed.
5061 At this writing, OpenOCD doesn't have much MMU intelligence.
5062 @end quotation
5063
5064 It's often very useful to define a @code{reset-init} event handler.
5065 For systems that are normally used with a boot loader,
5066 common tasks include updating clocks and initializing memory
5067 controllers.
5068 That may be needed to let you write the boot loader into flash,
5069 in order to ``de-brick'' your board; or to load programs into
5070 external DDR memory without having run the boot loader.
5071
5072 @deffn {Config Command} {target create} target_name type configparams...
5073 This command creates a GDB debug target that refers to a specific JTAG tap.
5074 It enters that target into a list, and creates a new

5081 of the TAP associated with this target, which must be specified here
5082 using the @code{-chain-position @var{dotted.name}} configparam.
5083
5084 This name is also used to create the target object command,
5085 referred to here as @command{$target_name},
5086 and in other places the target needs to be identified.

5121 Note that this updates a list of named event handlers.
5122 Calling this twice with two different event names assigns
5123 two different handlers, but calling it twice with the

5188 @section Other $target_name Commands
5189 @cindex object command
5190
5191 The Tcl/Tk language has the concept of object commands,
5192 and OpenOCD adopts that same model for targets.
5193
5194 A good Tk example is a on screen button.
5195 Once a button is created a button
5196 has a name (a path in Tk terms) and that name is useable as a first
5197 class command. For example in Tk, one can create a button and later
5198 configure it like this:
5199
5200 @example
5201 # Create
5202 button .foobar -background red -command @{ foo @}
5203 # Modify
5204 .foobar configure -foreground blue
5205 # Query
5206 set x [.foobar cget -background]
5207 # Report
5208 puts [format "The button is %s" $x]
5209 @end example
5210
5211 In OpenOCD's terms, the ``target'' is an object just like a Tcl/Tk
5212 button, and its object commands are invoked the same way.
5213
5214 @example
5215 str912.cpu mww 0x1234 0x42
5216 omap3530.cpu mww 0x5555 123
5217 @end example
5218
5219 The commands supported by OpenOCD target objects are:
5220
5221 @deffn {Command} {$target_name arp_examine} @option{allow-defer}
5222 @deffnx {Command} {$target_name arp_halt}
5223 @deffnx {Command} {$target_name arp_poll}
5224 @deffnx {Command} {$target_name arp_reset}
5225 @deffnx {Command} {$target_name arp_waitstate}
5226 Internal OpenOCD scripts (most notably @file{startup.tcl})
5227 use these to deal with specific reset cases.
5228 They are not otherwise documented here.

5233
5234 @itemize
5235 @item @var{dict} ... Tcl dictionary with pairs of register names and values.
5236 @end itemize
5237
5238 For example, the following command sets the value 0 to the program counter (pc)
5239 register and 0x1000 to the stack pointer (sp) register:
5240
5241 @example
5242 set_reg @{pc 0 sp 0x1000@}
5243 @end example
5244 @end deffn
5245
5246 @deffn {Command} {$target_name get_reg} [-force] list
5247 Get register values from the target and return them as Tcl dictionary with pairs

5314 This is a special case because setting a handler requires

5316 @item @code{-type} -- returns the target type.
5317 This is a special case because this is set using

5389 @section Target Events
5390 @cindex target events
5391 @cindex events
5392 At various times, certain things can happen, or you want them to happen.
5393 For example:
5394 @itemize @bullet
5395 @item What should happen when GDB connects? Should your target reset?
5396 @item When GDB tries to flash the target, do you need to enable the flash via a special command?
5397 @item Is using SRST appropriate (and possible) on your system?
5398 Or instead of that, do you need to issue JTAG commands to trigger reset?
5399 SRST usually resets everything on the scan chain, which can be inappropriate.
5400 @item During reset, do you need to write to certain memory locations
5401 to set up system clocks or
5402 to reconfigure the SDRAM?
5403 How about configuring the watchdog timer, or other peripherals,
5404 to stop running while you hold the core stopped for debugging?
5405 @end itemize
5406
5407 All of the above items can be addressed by target event handlers.
5408 These are set up by @command{$target_name configure -event} or
5409 @command{target create ... -event}.
5410
5411 The programmer's model matches the @code{-command} option used in Tcl/Tk
5412 buttons and events. The two examples below act the same, but one creates
5413 and invokes a small procedure while the other inlines it.
5414
5415 @example
5416 proc my_init_proc @{ @} @{
5417 echo "Disabling watchdog..."
5418 mww 0xfffffd44 0x00008000
5419 @}
5420 mychip.cpu configure -event reset-init my_init_proc
5421 mychip.cpu configure -event reset-init @{
5422 echo "Disabling watchdog..."
5423 mww 0xfffffd44 0x00008000
5424 @}
5425 @end example
5426
5427 The following target events are defined:
5428
5429 @itemize @bullet
5430 @item @b{debug-halted}
5431 @* The target has halted for debug reasons (i.e.: breakpoint)
5432 @item @b{debug-resumed}
5433 @* The target has resumed (i.e.: GDB said run)
5434 @item @b{early-halted}
5435 @* Occurs early in the halt process
5436 @item @b{examine-start}
5437 @* Before target examine is called.
5438 @item @b{examine-end}
5439 @* After target examine is called with no errors.
5440 @item @b{examine-fail}
5441 @* After target examine fails.
5442 @item @b{gdb-attach}
5443 @* When GDB connects. Issued before any GDB communication with the target
5444 starts. GDB expects the target is halted during attachment.
5445 @xref{gdbmeminspect,,GDB as a non-intrusive memory inspector}, how to
5446 connect GDB to running target.
5447 The event can be also used to set up the target so it is possible to probe flash.
5448 Probing flash is necessary during GDB connect if you want to use
5449 @pxref{programmingusinggdb,,programming using GDB}.
5450 Another use of the flash memory map is for GDB to automatically choose
5451 hardware or software breakpoints depending on whether the breakpoint
5452 is in RAM or read only memory.
5453 Default is @code{halt}
5454 @item @b{gdb-detach}
5455 @* When GDB disconnects
5456 @item @b{gdb-end}
5457 @* When the target has halted and GDB is not doing anything (see early halt)
5458 @item @b{gdb-flash-erase-start}
5459 @* Before the GDB flash process tries to erase the flash (default is
5460 @code{reset init})
5461 @item @b{gdb-flash-erase-end}
5462 @* After the GDB flash process has finished erasing the flash
5463 @item @b{gdb-flash-write-start}
5464 @* Before GDB writes to the flash
5465 @item @b{gdb-flash-write-end}
5466 @* After GDB writes to the flash (default is @code{reset halt})
5467 @item @b{gdb-start}
5468 @* Before the target steps, GDB is trying to start/resume the target
5469 @item @b{halted}
5470 @* The target has halted
5471 @item @b{reset-assert-pre}
5472 @* Issued as part of @command{reset} processing
5473 after @command{reset-start} was triggered
5474 but before either SRST alone is asserted on the scan chain,
5475 or @code{reset-assert} is triggered.
5476 @item @b{reset-assert}
5477 @* Issued as part of @command{reset} processing
5478 after @command{reset-assert-pre} was triggered.
5479 When such a handler is present, cores which support this event will use
5480 it instead of asserting SRST.
5481 This support is essential for debugging with JTAG interfaces which
5482 don't include an SRST line (JTAG doesn't require SRST), and for
5483 selective reset on scan chains that have multiple targets.
5484 @item @b{reset-assert-post}
5485 @* Issued as part of @command{reset} processing
5486 after @code{reset-assert} has been triggered.
5487 or the target asserted SRST on the entire scan chain.
5488 @item @b{reset-deassert-pre}
5489 @* Issued as part of @command{reset} processing
5490 after @code{reset-assert-post} has been triggered.
5491 @item @b{reset-deassert-post}
5492 @* Issued as part of @command{reset} processing
5493 after @code{reset-deassert-pre} has been triggered
5494 and (if the target is using it) after SRST has been
5495 released on the scan chain.
5496 @item @b{reset-end}
5497 @* Issued as the final step in @command{reset} processing.
5498 @item @b{reset-init}
5499 @* Used by @b{reset init} command for board-specific initialization.
5500 This event fires after @emph{reset-deassert-post}.
5501
5502 This is where you would configure PLLs and clocking, set up DRAM so
5503 you can download programs that don't fit in on-chip SRAM, set up pin
5504 multiplexing, and so on.
5505 (You may be able to switch to a fast JTAG clock rate here, after
5506 the target clocks are fully set up.)
5507 @item @b{reset-start}
5508 @* Issued as the first step in @command{reset} processing
5509 before @command{reset-assert-pre} is called.
5510
5511 This is the most robust place to use @command{jtag_rclk}
5512 or @command{adapter speed} to switch to a low JTAG clock rate,
5513 when reset disables PLLs needed to use a fast clock.
5514 @item @b{resume-start}
5515 @* Before any target is resumed
5516 @item @b{resume-end}
5517 @* After all targets have resumed
5518 @item @b{resumed}
5519 @* Target has resumed
5520 @item @b{step-start}

5544 @quotation Note
5545 OpenOCD events are not supposed to be preempt by another event, but this
5546 is not enforced in current code. Only the target event @b{resumed} is
5547 executed with polling disabled; this avoids polling to trigger the event
5548 @b{halted}, reversing the logical order of execution of their handlers.
5549 Future versions of OpenOCD will prevent the event preemption and will
5550 disable the schedule of polling during the event execution. Do not rely
5551 on polling in any event handler; this means, don't expect the status of
5552 a core to change during the execution of the handler. The event handler
5553 will have to enable polling or use @command{$target_name arp_poll} to
5554 check if the core has changed status.

5557 @node Flash Commands
5558 @chapter Flash Commands
5559
5560 OpenOCD has different commands for NOR and NAND flash;
5561 the ``flash'' command works with NOR flash, while
5562 the ``nand'' command works with NAND flash.
5563 This partially reflects different hardware technologies:
5564 NOR flash usually supports direct CPU instruction and data bus access,
5565 while data from a NAND flash must be copied to memory before it can be
5566 used. (SPI flash must also be copied to memory before use.)
5567 However, the documentation also uses ``flash'' as a generic term;
5568 for example, ``Put flash configuration in board-specific files''.
5569
5570 Flash Steps:
5571 @enumerate
5572 @item Configure via the command @command{flash bank}
5573 @* Do this in a board-specific configuration file,
5574 passing parameters as needed by the driver.
5575 @item Operate on the flash via @command{flash subcommand}
5576 @* Often commands to manipulate the flash are typed by a human, or run
5577 via a script in some automated way. Common tasks include writing a
5578 boot loader, operating system, or other data.
5579 @item GDB Flashing
5580 @* Flashing via GDB requires the flash be configured via ``flash
5581 bank'', and the GDB flash features be enabled.
5582 @xref{gdbconfiguration,,GDB Configuration}.
5583 @end enumerate
5584
5585 Many CPUs have the ability to ``boot'' from the first flash bank.
5586 This means that misprogramming that bank can ``brick'' a system,
5587 so that it can't boot.
5588 JTAG tools, like OpenOCD, are often then used to ``de-brick'' the
5589 board by (re)installing working boot firmware.

5596 Configures a flash bank which provides persistent storage
5597 for addresses from @math{base} to @math{base + size - 1}.
5598 These banks will often be visible to GDB through the target's memory map.

5673
5674 One feature distinguishing NOR flash from NAND or serial flash technologies
5675 is that for read access, it acts exactly like any other addressable memory.
5676 This means you can use normal memory read commands like @command{mdw} or
5677 @command{dump_image} with it, with no special @command{flash} subcommands.
5678 @xref{memoryaccess,,Memory access}, and @ref{imageaccess,,Image access}.
5679
5680 Write access works differently. Flash memory normally needs to be erased
5681 before it's written. Erasing a sector turns all of its bits to ones, and
5682 writing can turn ones into zeroes. This is why there are special commands
5683 for interactive erasing and writing, and why GDB needs to know which parts
5684 of the address space hold NOR flash memory.
5685
5686 @quotation Note
5687 Most of these erase and write commands leverage the fact that NOR flash
5688 chips consume target address space. They implicitly refer to the current
5689 JTAG target, and map from an address in that target's address space
5690 back to a flash bank.
5691 @comment In May 2009, those mappings may fail if any bank associated
5692 @comment with that target doesn't successfully autoprobe ... bug worth fixing?
5693 A few commands use abstract addressing based on bank and sector numbers,
5694 and don't depend on searching the current target and its address space.
5695 Avoid confusing the two command models.
5696 @end quotation
5697
5698 Some flash chips implement software protection against accidental writes,
5699 since such buggy writes could in some cases ``brick'' a system.
5700 For such systems, erasing and writing may require sector protection to be
5701 disabled first.
5702 Examples include CFI flash such as ``Intel Advanced Bootblock flash'',
5703 and AT91SAM7 on-chip flash.

5717 Unless @option{pad} is specified, @math{address} must begin a
5718 flash sector, and @math{address + length - 1} must end a sector.
5719 Specifying @option{pad} erases extra data at the beginning and/or
5720 end of the specified region, as needed to erase only full sectors.
5721 The flash bank to use is inferred from the @var{address}, and
5722 the specified length must stay within that bank.
5723 As a special case, when @var{length} is zero and @var{address} is

5781 @deffn {Command} {flash write_image} [erase] [unlock] filename [offset] [type]
5782 Write the image @file{filename} to the current target's flash bank(s).
5783 Only loadable sections from the image are written.
5784 A relocation @var{offset} may be specified, in which case it is added
5785 to the base address for each section in the image.
5786 The file [@var{type}] can be specified
5787 explicitly as @option{bin} (binary), @option{ihex} (Intel hex),
5788 @option{elf} (ELF file), @option{s19} (Motorola s19).
5789 @option{mem}, or @option{builder}.
5790 The relevant flash sectors will be erased prior to programming
5791 if the @option{erase} parameter is given. If @option{unlock} is
5792 provided, then the flash banks are unlocked before erase and
5793 program. The flash bank to use is inferred from the address of
5794 each image section.
5795
5796 @quotation Warning
5797 Be careful using the @option{erase} flag when the flash is holding
5798 data you want to preserve.
5799 Portions of the flash outside those described in the image's
5800 sections might be erased with no notice.
5801 @itemize
5802 @item
5803 When a section of the image being written does not fill out all the
5804 sectors it uses, the unwritten parts of those sectors are necessarily
5805 also erased, because sectors can't be partially erased.
5806 @item
5807 Data stored in sector "holes" between image sections are also affected.
5808 For example, "@command{flash write_image erase ...}" of an image with
5809 one byte at the beginning of a flash bank and one byte at the end
5810 erases the entire bank -- not just the two sectors being written.

5813 it has been removed by the @option{unlock} flag.

5821 In contrast to the 'verify_image' command, for banks with specific
5822 verify method, that one is used instead of the usual target's read
5823 memory methods. This is necessary for flash banks not readable by
5824 ordinary memory reads.

5905 @cindex Common Flash Interface
5906 @cindex CFI
5907 The ``Common Flash Interface'' (CFI) is the main standard for
5908 external NOR flash chips, each of which connects to a
5909 specific external chip select on the CPU.
5910 Frequently the first such chip is used to boot the system.
5911 Your board's @code{reset-init} handler might need to
5912 configure additional chip selects using other commands (like: @command{mww} to
5913 configure a bus and its timings), or
5914 perhaps configure a GPIO pin that controls the ``write protect'' pin
5915 on the flash chip.
5916 The CFI driver can use a target-specific working area to significantly
5917 speed up operation.
5918
5919 The CFI driver can accept the following optional parameters, in any order:
5920
5921 @itemize
5922 @item @var{jedec_probe} ... is used to detect certain non-CFI flash ROMs,
5923 like AM29LV010 and similar types.
5924 @item @var{x16_as_x8} ... when a 16-bit flash is hooked up to an 8-bit bus.
5925 @item @var{bus_swap} ... when data bytes in a 16-bit flash needs to be swapped.
5926 @item @var{data_swap} ... when data bytes in a 16-bit flash needs to be
5927 swapped when writing data values (i.e. not CFI commands).
5928 @end itemize
5929
5930 To configure two adjacent banks of 16 MBytes each, both sixteen bits (two bytes)
5931 wide on a sixteen bit bus:

5954 Several FPGAs and CPLDs can retrieve their configuration (bitstream) from a
5955 SPI flash connected to them. To access this flash from the host, the device
5956 is first programmed with a special proxy bitstream that
5957 exposes the SPI flash on the device's JTAG interface. The flash can then be
5958 accessed through JTAG.
5959
5960 Since signaling between JTAG and SPI is compatible, all that is required for
5961 a proxy bitstream is to connect TDI-MOSI, TDO-MISO, TCK-CLK and activate
5962 the flash chip select when the JTAG state machine is in SHIFT-DR. Such
5963 a bitstream for several Xilinx FPGAs can be found in
5964 @file{contrib/loaders/flash/fpga/xilinx_bscan_spi.py}. It requires
5965 @uref{https://github.com/m-labs/migen, migen} and a Xilinx toolchain to build.
5966
5967 This flash bank driver requires a target on a JTAG tap and will access that
5968 tap directly. Since no support from the target is needed, the target can be a
5969 "testee" dummy. Since the target does not expose the flash memory
5970 mapping, target commands that would otherwise be expected to access the flash
5971 will not work. These include all @command{*_image} and
5972 @command{$target_name m*} commands as well as @command{program}. Equivalent
5973 functionality is available through the @command{flash write_bank},
5974 @command{flash read_bank}, and @command{flash verify_bank} commands.
5975
5976 According to device size, 1- to 4-byte addresses are sent. However, some
5977 flash chips additionally have to be switched to 4-byte addresses by an extra
5978 command, see below.

6070
6071 The lpcspifi driver initializes this interface and provides

6093 ``Serial Memory Interface'' (SMI) controller able to drive external
6094 SPI flash devices.
6095 Depending on specific device and board configuration, up to 4 external
6096 flash devices can be connected.
6097
6098 SMI makes the flash content directly accessible in the CPU address

6100 CPU can directly read data, execute code and boot from SMI banks.
6101 Normal OpenOCD commands like @command{mdw} can be used to display
6102 the flash content.
6103
6104 The setup command only requires the @var{base} parameter in order

6120 Some devices from STMicroelectronics include a proprietary ``QuadSPI Interface''
6121 (e.g. STM32F4, STM32F7, STM32L4) or ``OctoSPI Interface'' (e.g. STM32L4+)
6122 controller able to drive one or even two (dual mode) external SPI flash devices.
6123 The OctoSPI is a superset of QuadSPI, its presence is detected automatically.
6124 Currently only the regular command mode is supported, whereas the HyperFlash
6125 mode is not.
6126
6127 QuadSPI/OctoSPI makes the flash contents directly accessible in the CPU address
6128 space; in case of dual mode both devices must be of the same type and are
6129 mapped in the same memory bank (even and odd addresses interleaved).
6130 CPU can directly read data, execute code (but not boot) from QuadSPI bank.
6131
6132 The 'flash bank' command only requires the @var{base} parameter and the extra
6133 parameter @var{io_base} in order to identify the memory bank. Both are fixed
6134 by hardware, see datasheet or RM. All other parameters are ignored.
6135
6136 The controller must be initialized after each reset and properly configured
6137 for memory-mapped read operation for the particular flash chip(s), for the full
6138 list of available register settings cf. the controller's RM. This setup is quite
6139 board specific (that's why booting from this memory is not possible). The
6140 flash driver infers all parameters from current controller register values when
6141 'flash probe @var{bank_id}' is executed.
6142
6143 Normal OpenOCD commands like @command{mdw} can be used to display the flash content,
6144 but only after proper controller initialization as described above. However,
6145 due to a silicon bug in some devices, attempting to access the very last word
6146 should be avoided.
6147
6148 It is possible to use two (even different) flash chips alternatingly, if individual
6149 bank chip selects are available. For some package variants, this is not the case
6150 due to limited pin count. To switch from one to another, adjust FSEL bit accordingly
6151 and re-issue 'flash probe bank_id'. Note that the bank base address will @emph{not}
6152 change, so the address spaces of both devices will overlap. In dual flash mode
6153 both chips must be identical regarding size and most other properties.
6154
6155 Block or sector protection internal to the flash chip is not handled by this
6156 driver at all, but can be dealt with manually by the 'cmd' command, see below.
6157 The sector protection via 'flash protect' command etc. is completely internal to
6158 openocd, intended only to prevent accidental erase or overwrite and it does not
6159 persist across openocd invocations.
6160
6161 OpenOCD contains a hardcoded list of flash devices with their properties,
6162 these are auto-detected. If a device is not included in this list, SFDP discovery
6163 is attempted. If this fails or gives inappropriate results, manual setting is
6164 required (see 'set' command).
6165
6166 @example
6167 flash bank $_FLASHNAME stmqspi 0x90000000 0 0 0 \

6173 There are three specific commands
6174 @deffn {Command} {stmqspi mass_erase} bank_id

6181 in bytes, @var{page_size} is write page size. @var{read_cmd}, @var{fread_cmd} and @var{pprg_cmd}
6182 are commands for reading and page programming. @var{fread_cmd} is used in DPI and QPI modes,
6183 @var{read_cmd} in normal SPI (single line) mode. @var{mass_erase_cmd}, @var{sector_size}
6184 and @var{sector_erase_cmd} are optional.
6185
6186 This command is required if chip id is not hardcoded yet and e.g. for EEPROMs or FRAMs
6187 which don't support an id command.
6188
6189 In dual mode parameters of both chips are set identically. The parameters refer to
6190 a single chip, so the whole bank gets twice the specified capacity etc.
6191 @end deffn
6192
6193 @deffn {Command} {stmqspi cmd} bank_id resp_num cmd_byte ...
6194 If @var{resp_num} is zero, sends command @var{cmd_byte} and following data
6195 bytes. In dual mode command byte is sent to @emph{both} chips but data bytes are
6196 sent @emph{alternatingly} to chip 1 and 2, first to flash 1, second to flash 2, etc.,
6197 i.e. the total number of bytes (including cmd_byte) must be odd.
6198
6199 If @var{resp_num} is not zero, cmd and at most four following data bytes are
6200 sent, in dual mode @emph{simultaneously} to both chips. Then @var{resp_num} bytes
6201 are read interleaved from both chips starting with chip 1. In this case
6202 @var{resp_num} must be even.
6203
6204 Note the hardware dictated subtle difference of those two cases in dual-flash mode.
6205

6216 for dual flash mode. This should return the status register contents.
6217
6218 In 8-line mode, @var{cmd_byte} is sent twice - first time as given, second time
6219 complemented. Additionally, in 8-line mode only, some commands (e.g. Read Status)
6220 need a dummy address, e.g.

6231 This driver supports QSPI flash controller of Marvell's Wireless
6232 Microcontroller platform.
6233
6234 The flash size is autodetected based on the table of known JEDEC IDs
6235 hardcoded in the OpenOCD sources.
6236
6237 @example
6238 flash bank $_FLASHNAME mrvlqspi 0x0 0 0 0 $_TARGETNAME 0x46010000

6244 @cindex Atheros ath79 SPI driver
6245 @cindex ath79
6246 Members of ATH79 SoC family from Atheros include a SPI interface with 3
6247 chip selects.
6248 On reset a SPI flash connected to the first chip select (CS0) is made
6249 directly read-accessible in the CPU address space (up to 16MBytes)
6250 and is usually used to store the bootloader and operating system.
6251 Normal OpenOCD commands like @command{mdw} can be used to display
6252 the flash content while it is in memory-mapped mode (only the first
6253 4MBytes are accessible without additional configuration on reset).
6254
6255 The setup command only requires the @var{base} parameter in order
6256 to identify the memory bank. The actual value for the base address
6257 is not otherwise used by the driver. However the mapping is passed
6258 to gdb. Thus for the memory mapped flash (chipselect CS0) the base
6259 address should be the actual memory mapped base address. For unmapped
6260 chipselects (CS1 and CS2) care should be taken to use a base address
6261 that does not overlap with real memory regions.
6262 Additional information, like flash size, are detected automatically.
6263 An optional additional parameter sets the chipselect for the bank,
6264 with the default CS0.
6265 CS1 and CS2 require additional GPIO setup before they can be used
6266 since the alternate function must be enabled on the GPIO pin
6267 CS1/CS2 is routed to on the given SoC.
6268
6269 @example
6270 flash bank $_FLASHNAME ath79 0xbf000000 0 0 0 $_TARGETNAME
6271
6272 # When using multiple chipselects the base should be different
6273 # for each, otherwise the write_image command is not able to

6297 include internal flash and use ARM7TDMI cores.
6298 The aduc702x flash driver works with models ADUC7019 through ADUC7028.
6299 The setup command only requires the @var{target} argument
6300 since all devices in this family have the same memory layout.

6310 All members of the Apollo microcontroller family from
6311 Ambiq Micro include internal flash and use ARM's Cortex-M4 core.
6312 The host connects over USB to an FTDI interface that communicates
6313 with the target using SWD.
6314
6315 The @var{ambiqmicro} driver reads the Chip Information Register detect
6316 the device class of the MCU.
6317 The Flash and SRAM sizes directly follow device class, and are used
6318 to set up the flash banks.
6319 If this fails, the driver will use default values set to the minimum
6320 sizes of an Apollo chip.
6321
6322 All Apollo chips have two flash banks of the same size.
6323 In all cases the first flash bank starts at location 0,
6324 and the second bank starts after the first.
6325
6326 @example
6327 # Flash bank 0
6328 flash bank $_FLASHNAME ambiqmicro 0 0x00040000 0 0 $_TARGETNAME
6329 # Flash bank 1 - same size as bank0, starts after bank 0.
6330 flash bank $_FLASHNAME ambiqmicro 0x00040000 0x00040000 0 0 \
6331 $_TARGETNAME
6332 @end example
6333
6334 Flash is programmed using custom entry points into the bootloader.
6335 This is the only way to program the flash as no flash control registers
6336 are available to the user.
6337
6338 The @var{ambiqmicro} driver adds some additional commands:
6339
6340 @deffn {Command} {ambiqmicro mass_erase} <bank>
6341 Erase entire bank.

6446 All members of the AT91SAM3 microcontroller family from
6447 Atmel include internal flash and use ARM's Cortex-M3 core. The driver
6448 currently (6/22/09) recognizes the AT91SAM3U[1/2/4][C/E] chips. Note
6449 that the driver was orginaly developed and tested using the

6702 supports the internal flash. The serial flash on SimpleLink boards is
6703 programmed via the bootloader over a UART connection. Security features of
6704 the CC3220SF may erase the internal flash during power on reset. Refer to
6705 documentation at @url{www.ti.com/cc3220sf} for details on security features
6706 and programming the serial flash.

6713 @deffn {Flash Driver} {efm32}
6714 All members of the EFM32/EFR32 microcontroller family from Energy Micro (now Silicon Labs)
6715 include internal flash and use Arm Cortex-M3 or Cortex-M4 cores. The driver automatically
6716 recognizes a number of these chips using the chip identification register, and
6717 autoconfigures itself.
6718 @example
6719 flash bank $_FLASHNAME efm32 0 0 0 0 $_TARGETNAME
6720 @end example
6721 It supports writing to the user data page, as well as the portion of the lockbits page
6722 past 512 bytes on chips with larger page sizes. The latter is used by the SiLabs
6723 bootloader/AppLoader system for encryption keys. Setting protection on these pages is
6724 currently not supported.
6725 @example
6726 flash bank userdata.flash efm32 0x0FE00000 0 0 0 $_TARGETNAME
6727 flash bank lockbits.flash efm32 0x0FE04000 0 0 0 $_TARGETNAME
6728 @end example
6729
6730 A special feature of efm32 controllers is that it is possible to completely disable the
6731 debug interface by writing the correct values to the 'Debug Lock Word'. OpenOCD supports
6732 this via the following command:
6733 @example
6734 efm32 debuglock num
6735 @end example
6736 The @var{num} parameter is a value shown by @command{flash banks}.
6737 Note that in order for this command to take effect, the target needs to be reset.

6934 The LPC29xx family is supported by the @var{lpc2900} driver.
6935 @end quotation
6936
6937 The @var{lpc2000} driver defines two mandatory and two optional parameters,
6938 which must appear in the following order:
6939
6940 @itemize
6941 @item @var{variant} ... required, may be
6942 @option{lpc2000_v1} (older LPC21xx and LPC22xx)
6943 @option{lpc2000_v2} (LPC213x, LPC214x, LPC210[123], LPC23xx and LPC24xx)

6952 or @option{auto} - automatically detects flash variant and size for LPC11(x)00,
6953 LPC8xx, LPC13xx, LPC17xx, LPC40xx, LPC8Nxx and NHS31xx
6954 @item @var{clock_kHz} ... the frequency, in kiloHertz,
6955 at which the core is running
6956 @item @option{calc_checksum} ... optional (but you probably want to provide this!),
6957 telling the driver to calculate a valid checksum for the exception vector table.
6958 @quotation Note
6959 If you don't provide @option{calc_checksum} when you're writing the vector
6960 table, the boot ROM will almost certainly ignore your flash image.
6961 However, if you do provide it,
6962 with most tool chains @command{verify_image} will fail.

6979 @end deffn
6980
6981 @deffn {Flash Driver} {lpc288x}
6982 The LPC2888 microcontroller from NXP needs slightly different flash
6983 support from its lpc2000 siblings.
6984 The @var{lpc288x} driver defines one mandatory parameter,
6985 the programming clock rate in Hz.
6986 LPC flashes don't require the chip and bus width to be specified.
6987
6988 @example
6989 flash bank $_FLASHNAME lpc288x 0 0 0 0 $_TARGETNAME 12000000
6990 @end example
6991 @end deffn
6992
6993 @deffn {Flash Driver} {lpc2900}
6994 This driver supports the LPC29xx ARM968E based microcontroller family
6995 from NXP.
6996
6997 The predefined parameters @var{base}, @var{size}, @var{chip_width} and
6998 @var{bus_width} of the @code{flash bank} command are ignored. Flash size and
6999 sector layout are auto-configured by the driver.
7000 The driver has one additional mandatory parameter: The CPU clock rate
7001 (in kHz) at the time the flash operations will take place. Most of the time this
7002 will not be the crystal frequency, but a higher PLL frequency. The
7003 @code{reset-init} event handler in the board script is usually the place where
7004 you start the PLL.
7005
7006 The driver rejects flashless devices (currently the LPC2930).
7007
7008 The EEPROM in LPC2900 devices is not mapped directly into the address space.
7009 It must be handled much more like NAND flash memory, and will therefore be
7010 handled by a separate @code{lpc2900_eeprom} driver (not yet available).
7011
7012 Sector protection in terms of the LPC2900 is handled transparently. Every time a
7013 sector needs to be erased or programmed, it is automatically unprotected.
7014 What is shown as protection status in the @code{flash info} command, is
7015 actually the LPC2900 @emph{sector security}. This is a mechanism to prevent a
7016 sector from ever being erased or programmed again. As this is an irreversible
7017 mechanism, it is handled by a special command (@code{lpc2900 secure_sector}),
7018 and not by the standard @code{flash protect} command.
7019
7020 Example for a 125 MHz clock frequency:
7021 @example
7022 flash bank $_FLASHNAME lpc2900 0 0 0 0 $_TARGETNAME 125000
7023 @end example
7024
7025 Some @code{lpc2900}-specific commands are defined. In the following command list,
7026 the @var{bank} parameter is the bank number as obtained by the
7027 @code{flash banks} command.
7028
7029 @deffn {Command} {lpc2900 signature} bank
7030 Calculates a 128-bit hash value, the @emph{signature}, from the whole flash
7031 content. This is a hardware feature of the flash block, hence the calculation is
7032 very fast. You may use this to verify the content of a programmed device against
7033 a known signature.
7034 Example:
7035 @example
7036 lpc2900 signature 0
7037 signature: 0x5f40cdc8:0xc64e592e:0x10490f89:0x32a0f317
7038 @end example
7039 @end deffn
7040
7041 @deffn {Command} {lpc2900 read_custom} bank filename
7042 Reads the 912 bytes of customer information from the flash index sector, and
7043 saves it to a file in binary format.
7044 Example:
7045 @example
7046 lpc2900 read_custom 0 /path_to/customer_info.bin
7047 @end example
7048 @end deffn
7049
7050 The index sector of the flash is a @emph{write-only} sector. It cannot be
7051 erased! In order to guard against unintentional write access, all following
7052 commands need to be preceded by a successful call to the @code{password}
7053 command:
7054
7055 @deffn {Command} {lpc2900 password} bank password
7056 You need to use this command right before each of the following commands:
7057 @code{lpc2900 write_custom}, @code{lpc2900 secure_sector},
7058 @code{lpc2900 secure_jtag}.
7059
7060 The password string is fixed to "I_know_what_I_am_doing".
7061 Example:
7062 @example
7063 lpc2900 password 0 I_know_what_I_am_doing
7064 Potentially dangerous operation allowed in next command!
7065 @end example
7066 @end deffn
7067
7068 @deffn {Command} {lpc2900 write_custom} bank filename type
7069 Writes the content of the file into the customer info space of the flash index
7070 sector. The filetype can be specified with the @var{type} field. Possible values
7071 for @var{type} are: @var{bin} (binary), @var{ihex} (Intel hex format),
7072 @var{elf} (ELF binary) or @var{s19} (Motorola S-records). The file must
7073 contain a single section, and the contained data length must be exactly
7074 912 bytes.

7416
7417 Flash in PSoC6 is split into three regions:
7418 @itemize @bullet
7419 @item Main Flash - this is the main storage for user application.
7420 Total size varies among devices, sector size: 256 kBytes, row size:
7421 512 bytes. Supports erase operation on individual rows.
7422 @item Work Flash - intended to be used as storage for user data
7423 (e.g. EEPROM emulation). Total size: 32 KBytes, sector size: 32 KBytes,
7424 row size: 512 bytes.
7425 @item Supervisory Flash - special region which contains device-specific
7426 service data. This region does not support erase operation. Only few rows can
7427 be programmed by the user, most of the rows are read only. Programming
7428 operation will erase row automatically.
7429 @end itemize
7430
7431 All three flash regions are supported by the driver. Flash geometry is detected
7432 automatically by parsing data in SPCIF_GEOMETRY register.

7799 Note that some devices have been found that have a flash size register that contains
7800 an invalid value, to workaround this issue you can override the probed value used by
7801 the flash driver. However, specifying a wrong value might lead to a completely
7802 wrong flash layout, so this feature must be used carefully.

7828
7829 @deffn {Command} {stm32l4x option_read} num reg_offset
7830 Reads an option byte register from the stm32l4x device.
7831 The @var{num} parameter is a value shown by @command{flash banks}, @var{reg_offset}
7832 is the register offset of the Option byte to read.
7833
7834 For example to read the FLASH_OPTR register:
7835 @example
7836 stm32l4x option_read 0 0x20
7837 # Option Register (for STM32L4x): <0x40022020> = 0xffeff8aa
7838 # Option Register (for STM32WBx): <0x58004020> = ...
7839 # The correct flash base address will be used automatically
7840 @end example
7841
7842 The above example will read out the FLASH_OPTR register which contains the RDP
7843 option byte, Watchdog configuration, BOR level etc.
7844 @end deffn
7845
7846 @deffn {Command} {stm32l4x option_write} num reg_offset reg_mask
7847 Write an option byte register of the stm32l4x device.
7848 The @var{num} parameter is a value shown by @command{flash banks}, @var{reg_offset}
7849 is the register offset of the Option byte to write, and @var{reg_mask} is the mask
7850 to apply when writing the register (only bits with a '1' will be touched).
7851
7852 @emph{Note:} To apply the option bytes change immediately, use @command{stm32l4x option_load}.
7853
7854 For example to write the WRP1AR option bytes:
7855 @example
7856 stm32l4x option_write 0 0x28 0x00FF0000 0x00FF00FF
7857 @end example
7858
7859 The above example will write the WRP1AR option register configuring the Write protection
7860 Area A for bank 1. The above example set WRP1AR_END=255, WRP1AR_START=0.
7861 This will effectively write protect all sectors in flash bank 1.
7862 @end deffn
7863
7864 @deffn {Command} {stm32l4x wrp_info} num [device_bank]
7865 List the protected areas using WRP.
7866 The @var{num} parameter is a value shown by @command{flash banks}.
7867 @var{device_bank} parameter is optional, possible values 'bank1' or 'bank2',
7868 if not specified, the command will display the whole flash protected areas.
7869
7870 @b{Note:} @var{device_bank} is different from banks created using @code{flash bank}.
7871 Devices supported in this flash driver, can have main flash memory organized
7872 in single or dual-banks mode.
7873 Thus the usage of @var{device_bank} is meaningful only in dual-bank mode, to get
7874 write protected areas in a specific @var{device_bank}
7875
7876 @end deffn
7877
7878 @deffn {Command} {stm32l4x option_load} num

7936
7937 Only use this driver for locking/unlocking the device or configuring the option bytes.
7938 Use the standard str9 driver for programming.
7939 Before using the flash commands the turbo mode must be enabled using the
7940 @command{str9xpec enable_turbo} command.
7941
7942 Here is some background info to help
7943 you better understand how this driver works. OpenOCD has two flash drivers for
7944 the str9:
7945 @enumerate
7946 @item
7947 Standard driver @option{str9x} programmed via the str9 core. Normally used for
7948 flash programming as it is faster than the @option{str9xpec} driver.
7949 @item
7950 Direct programming @option{str9xpec} using the flash controller. This is an
7951 ISC compliant (IEEE 1532) tap connected in series with the str9 core. The str9
7952 core does not need to be running to program using this flash driver. Typical use
7953 for this driver is locking/unlocking the target and programming the option bytes.
7954 @end enumerate
7955
7956 Before we run any commands using the @option{str9xpec} driver we must first disable
7957 the str9 core. This example assumes the @option{str9xpec} driver has been
7958 configured for flash bank 0.
7959 @example
7960 # assert srst, we do not want core running
7961 # while accessing str9xpec flash driver
7962 adapter assert srst
7963 # turn off target polling
7964 poll off
7965 # disable str9 core
7966 str9xpec enable_turbo 0
7967 # read option bytes
7968 str9xpec options_read 0
7969 # re-enable str9 core
7970 str9xpec disable_turbo 0
7971 poll on
7972 reset halt
7973 @end example
7974 The above example will read the str9 option bytes.
7975 When performing a unlock remember that you will not be able to halt the str9 - it
7976 has been locked. Halting the core is not required for the @option{str9xpec} driver
7977 as mentioned above, just issue the commands above manually or from a telnet prompt.
7978
7979 Several str9xpec-specific commands are defined:
7980
7981 @deffn {Command} {str9xpec disable_turbo} num
7982 Restore the str9 into JTAG chain.
7983 @end deffn
7984
7985 @deffn {Command} {str9xpec enable_turbo} num

8100 @cindex NAND
8101
8102 Compared to NOR or SPI flash, NAND devices are inexpensive
8103 and high density. Today's NAND chips, and multi-chip modules,
8104 commonly hold multiple GigaBytes of data.
8105
8106 NAND chips consist of a number of ``erase blocks'' of a given
8107 size (such as 128 KBytes), each of which is divided into a
8108 number of pages (of perhaps 512 or 2048 bytes each). Each
8109 page of a NAND flash has an ``out of band'' (OOB) area to hold
8110 Error Correcting Code (ECC) and other metadata, usually 16 bytes
8111 of OOB for every 512 bytes of page data.
8112
8113 One key characteristic of NAND flash is that its error rate
8114 is higher than that of NOR flash. In normal operation, that
8115 ECC is used to correct and detect errors. However, NAND
8116 blocks can also wear out and become unusable; those blocks
8117 are then marked "bad". NAND chips are even shipped from the
8118 manufacturer with a few bad blocks. The highest density chips
8119 use a technology (MLC) that wears out more quickly, so ECC
8120 support is increasingly important as a way to detect blocks
8121 that have begun to fail, and help to preserve data integrity
8122 with techniques such as wear leveling.
8123
8124 Software is used to manage the ECC. Some controllers don't
8125 support ECC directly; in those cases, software ECC is used.
8126 Other controllers speed up the ECC calculations with hardware.
8127 Single-bit error correction hardware is routine. Controllers
8128 geared for newer MLC chips may correct 4 or more errors for
8129 every 512 bytes of data.
8130
8131 You will need to make sure that any data you write using
8132 OpenOCD includes the appropriate kind of ECC. For example,
8133 that may mean passing the @code{oob_softecc} flag when
8134 writing NAND data, or ensuring that the correct hardware
8135 ECC mode is used.
8136
8137 The basic steps for using NAND devices include:
8138 @enumerate
8139 @item Declare via the command @command{nand device}
8140 @* Do this in a board-specific configuration file,
8141 passing parameters as needed by the controller.
8142 @item Configure each device using @command{nand probe}.
8143 @* Do this only after the associated target is set up,
8144 such as in its reset-init script or in procures defined
8145 to access that device.
8146 @item Operate on the flash via @command{nand subcommand}
8147 @* Often commands to manipulate the flash are typed by a human, or run
8148 via a script in some automated way. Common task include writing a
8149 boot loader, operating system, or other data needed to initialize or
8150 de-brick a board.
8151 @end enumerate
8152
8153 @b{NOTE:} At the time this text was written, the largest NAND
8154 flash fully supported by OpenOCD is 2 GiBytes (16 GiBits).
8155 This is because the variables used to hold offsets and lengths
8156 are only 32 bits wide.
8157 (Larger chips may work in some cases, unless an offset or length
8158 is larger than 0xffffffff, the largest 32-bit unsigned integer.)
8159 Some larger devices will work, since they are actually multi-chip
8160 modules with two smaller chips and individual chipselect lines.

8166 NAND chips must be declared in configuration scripts,
8167 plus some additional configuration that's done after
8168 OpenOCD has initialized.
8169
8170 @deffn {Config Command} {nand device} name driver target [configparams...]
8171 Declares a NAND device, which can be read and written to
8172 after it has been configured through @command{nand probe}.
8173 In OpenOCD, devices are single chips; this is unlike some
8174 operating systems, which may manage multiple chips as if
8175 they were a single (larger) device.
8176 In some cases, configuring a device will activate extra
8177 commands; see the controller-specific documentation.
8178
8179 @b{NOTE:} This command is not available after OpenOCD
8180 initialization has completed. Use it in board specific
8181 configuration files, not interactively.

8235 @b{NOTE:} At the time this text was written, no error correction
8236 was done on the data that's read, unless raw access was disabled
8237 and the underlying NAND controller driver had a @code{read_page}
8238 method which handled that error correction.
8239
8240 By default, only page data is saved to the specified file.
8241 Use an @var{oob_option} parameter to save OOB data:

8249 Note that this kind of "raw" access is different from
8250 what's implied by @command{nand raw_access}, which just
8251 controls whether a hardware-aware access method is used.
8252 @item @code{oob_only}

8263 specified @var{offset} and continuing for @var{length} bytes.
8264 Both of those values must be exact multiples of the device's
8265 block size, and the region they specify must fit entirely in the chip.
8266 If those parameters are not specified,
8267 the whole NAND chip will be erased.
8268 The @var{num} parameter is the value shown by @command{nand list}.
8269
8270 @b{NOTE:} This command will try to erase bad blocks, when told
8271 to do so, which will probably invalidate the manufacturer's bad
8272 block marker.
8273 For the remainder of the current server session, @command{nand info}
8274 will still report that the block ``is'' bad.

8280 Writes binary data from the file into the specified NAND device,
8281 starting at the specified offset. Those pages should already
8282 have been erased; you can't change zero bits to one bits.
8283 The @var{num} parameter is the value shown by @command{nand list}.
8284
8285 Use a complete path name for @var{filename}, so you don't depend
8286 on the directory used to start the OpenOCD server.
8287
8288 The @var{offset} must be an exact multiple of the device's page size.
8289 All data in the file will be written, assuming it doesn't run
8290 past the end of the device.
8291 Only full pages are written, and any extra space in the last
8292 page will be filled with 0xff bytes. (That includes OOB data,
8293 if that's being written.)
8294
8295 @b{NOTE:} At the time this text was written, bad blocks are
8296 ignored. That is, this routine will not skip bad blocks,
8297 but will instead try to write them. This can cause problems.

8299 Provide at most one @var{option} parameter. With some
8300 NAND drivers, the meanings of these parameters may change
8301 if @command{nand raw_access} was used to disable hardware ECC.
8302 @itemize @bullet
8303 @item no oob_* parameter
8304 @*File has only page data, which is written.
8305 If raw access is in use, the OOB area will not be written.
8306 Otherwise, if the underlying NAND controller driver has
8307 a @code{write_page} routine, that routine may write the OOB
8308 with hardware-computed ECC data.
8309 @item @code{oob_only}
8310 @*File has only raw OOB data, which is written to the OOB area.
8311 Each page's data area stays untouched. @i{This can be a dangerous

8313 You may need to force raw access to use this mode.
8314 @item @code{oob_raw}
8315 @*File interleaves data and OOB data, both of which are written
8316 If raw access is enabled, the data is written first, then the
8317 un-altered OOB.
8318 Otherwise, if the underlying NAND controller driver has
8319 a @code{write_page} routine, that routine may modify the OOB
8320 before it's written, to include hardware-computed ECC data.
8321 @item @code{oob_softecc}
8322 @*File has only page data, which is written.
8323 The OOB area is filled with 0xff, except for a standard 1-bit
8324 software ECC code stored in conventional locations.
8325 You might need to force raw access to use this mode, to prevent
8326 the underlying driver from applying hardware ECC.
8327 @item @code{oob_softecc_kw}
8328 @*File has only page data, which is written.
8329 The OOB area is filled with 0xff, except for a 4-bit software ECC

8388 The @var{num} parameter is the value shown by @command{nand list}.
8389
8390 This flag is cleared (disabled) by default, but changing that
8391 value won't affect all NAND devices. The key factor is whether
8392 the underlying driver provides @code{read_page} or @code{write_page}
8393 methods. If it doesn't provide those methods, the setting of
8394 this flag is irrelevant; all access is effectively ``raw''.
8395
8396 When those methods exist, they are normally used when reading
8397 data (@command{nand dump} or reading bad block markers) or
8398 writing it (@command{nand write}). However, enabling
8399 raw access (setting the flag) prevents use of those methods,
8400 bypassing hardware ECC logic.

8529 OpenOCD implements numerous ways to program the target flash, whether internal or external.
8530 Programming can be achieved by either using @ref{programmingusinggdb,,Programming using GDB},
8531 or using the commands given in @ref{flashprogrammingcommands,,Flash Programming Commands}.
8532
8533 @*To simplify using the flash commands directly a jimtcl script is available that handles the programming and verify stage.
8534 OpenOCD will program/verify/reset the target and optionally shutdown.
8535
8536 The script is executed as follows and by default the following actions will be performed.
8537 @enumerate
8538 @item 'init' is executed.
8539 @item 'reset init' is called to reset and halt the target, any 'reset init' scripts are executed.
8540 @item @code{flash write_image} is called to erase and write any flash using the filename given.
8541 @item If the @option{preverify} parameter is given, the target is "verified" first and only flashed if this fails.
8542 @item @code{verify_image} is called if @option{verify} parameter is given.
8543 @item @code{reset run} is called if @option{reset} parameter is given.
8544 @item OpenOCD is shutdown if @option{exit} parameter is given.

8565 Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs) and the more flexible
8566 Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are both types of programmable hardware.
8567 OpenOCD can support programming them.
8568 Although PLDs are generally restrictive (cells are less functional, and
8569 there are no special purpose cells for memory or computational tasks),
8570 they share the same OpenOCD infrastructure.
8571 Accordingly, both are called PLDs here.
8572
8573 @section PLD/FPGA Configuration and Commands
8574
8575 As it does for JTAG TAPs, debug targets, and flash chips (both NOR and NAND),
8576 OpenOCD maintains a list of PLDs available for use in various commands.
8577 Also, each such PLD requires a driver.
8578
8579 They are referenced by the number shown by the @command{pld devices} command,
8580 and new PLDs are defined by @command{pld device driver_name}.
8581
8582 @deffn {Config Command} {pld device} driver_name tap_name [driver_options]
8583 Defines a new PLD device, supported by driver @var{driver_name},
8584 using the TAP named @var{tap_name}.
8585 The driver may make use of any @var{driver_options} to configure its
8586 behavior.

8592
8593 @deffn {Command} {pld load} num filename
8594 Loads the file @file{filename} into the PLD identified by @var{num}.
8595 The file format must be inferred by the driver.
8596 @end deffn
8597
8598 @section PLD/FPGA Drivers, Options, and Commands
8599
8600 Drivers may support PLD-specific options to the @command{pld device}
8601 definition command, and may also define commands usable only with
8602 that particular type of PLD.
8603
8604 @deffn {FPGA Driver} {virtex2} [no_jstart]
8605 Virtex-II is a family of FPGAs sold by Xilinx.
8606 It supports the IEEE 1532 standard for In-System Configuration (ISC).
8607
8608 If @var{no_jstart} is non-zero, the JSTART instruction is not used after
8609 loading the bitstream. While required for Series2, Series3, and Series6, it
8610 breaks bitstream loading on Series7.
8611
8612 @deffn {Command} {virtex2 read_stat} num

8620 @cindex commands
8621
8622 The commands documented in this chapter here are common commands that
8623 you, as a human, may want to type and see the output of. Configuration type
8624 commands are documented elsewhere.
8625
8626 Intent:
8627 @itemize @bullet
8628 @item @b{Source Of Commands}
8629 @* OpenOCD commands can occur in a configuration script (discussed
8630 elsewhere) or typed manually by a human or supplied programmatically,
8631 or via one of several TCP/IP Ports.
8632
8633 @item @b{From the human}
8634 @* A human should interact with the telnet interface (default port: 4444)
8635 or via GDB (default port 3333).
8636
8637 To issue commands from within a GDB session, use the @option{monitor}
8638 command, e.g. use @option{monitor poll} to issue the @option{poll}
8639 command. All output is relayed through the GDB session.
8640
8641 @item @b{Machine Interface}
8642 The Tcl interface's intent is to be a machine interface. The default Tcl
8643 port is 5555.
8644 @end itemize
8645
8646
8647 @section Server Commands
8648
8649 @deffn {Command} {exit}
8650 Exits the current telnet session.
8651 @end deffn
8652
8653 @deffn {Command} {help} [string]
8654 With no parameters, prints help text for all commands.
8655 Otherwise, prints each helptext containing @var{string}.
8656 Not every command provides helptext.
8657
8658 Configuration commands, and commands valid at any time, are
8659 explicitly noted in parenthesis.
8660 In most cases, no such restriction is listed; this indicates commands
8661 which are only available after the configuration stage has completed.
8662 @end deffn
8663
8664 @deffn {Command} {usage} [string]
8665 With no parameters, prints usage text for all commands. Otherwise,
8666 prints all usage text of which command, help text, and usage text
8667 containing @var{string}.
8668 Not every command provides helptext.
8669 @end deffn
8670
8671 @deffn {Command} {sleep} msec [@option{busy}]
8672 Wait for at least @var{msec} milliseconds before resuming.
8673 If @option{busy} is passed, busy-wait instead of sleeping.
8674 (This option is strongly discouraged.)
8675 Useful in connection with script files
8676 (@command{script} command and @command{target_name} configuration).
8677 @end deffn
8678
8679 @deffn {Command} {shutdown} [@option{error}]
8680 Close the OpenOCD server, disconnecting all clients (GDB, telnet,
8681 other). If option @option{error} is used, OpenOCD will return a
8682 non-zero exit code to the parent process.
8683
8684 If user types CTRL-C or kills OpenOCD, the command @command{shutdown}
8685 will be automatically executed to cause OpenOCD to exit.
8686
8687 It is possible to specify, in the TCL list @var{pre_shutdown_commands} , a
8688 set of commands to be automatically executed before @command{shutdown} , e.g.:
8689 @example
8690 lappend pre_shutdown_commands @{echo "Goodbye, my friend ..."@}
8691 lappend pre_shutdown_commands @{echo "see you soon !"@}
8692 @end example
8693 The commands in the list will be executed (in the same order they occupy
8694 in the list) before OpenOCD exits. If one of the commands in the list
8695 fails, then the remaining commands are not executed anymore while OpenOCD
8696 will proceed to quit.
8697 @end deffn
8698
8699 @anchor{debuglevel}
8700 @deffn {Command} {debug_level} [n]
8701 @cindex message level
8702 Display debug level.
8703 If @var{n} (from 0..4) is provided, then set it to that level.
8704 This affects the kind of messages sent to the server log.
8705 Level 0 is error messages only;
8706 level 1 adds warnings;
8707 level 2 adds informational messages;
8708 level 3 adds debugging messages;
8709 and level 4 adds verbose low-level debug messages.
8710 The default is level 2, but that can be overridden on
8711 the command line along with the location of that log
8712 file (which is normally the server's standard output).

8732
8733 @deffn {Config Command} {bindto} [@var{name}]
8734 Specify hostname or IPv4 address on which to listen for incoming
8735 TCP/IP connections. By default, OpenOCD will listen on the loopback
8736 interface only. If your network environment is safe, @code{bindto
8737 0.0.0.0} can be used to cover all available interfaces.

8742 @cindex reset
8743 @cindex halt
8744 @cindex target initialization
8745
8746 In this section ``target'' refers to a CPU configured as
8747 shown earlier (@pxref{CPU Configuration}).
8748 These commands, like many, implicitly refer to
8749 a current target which is used to perform the
8750 various operations. The current target may be changed
8751 by using @command{targets} command with the name of the
8752 target which should become current.
8753
8754 @deffn {Command} {reg} [(number|name) [(value|'force')]]
8755 Access a single register by @var{number} or by its @var{name}.
8756 The target must generally be halted before access to CPU core
8757 registers is allowed. Depending on the hardware, some other
8758 registers may be accessible while the target is running.
8759
8760 @emph{With no arguments}:
8761 list all available registers for the current target,
8762 showing number, name, size, value, and cache status.
8763 For valid entries, a value is shown; valid entries
8764 which are also dirty (and will be written back later)
8765 are flagged as such.
8766
8767 @emph{With number/name}: display that register's value.
8768 Use @var{force} argument to read directly from the target,
8769 bypassing any internal cache.
8770
8771 @emph{With both number/name and value}: set register's value.
8772 Writes may be held in a writeback cache internal to OpenOCD,
8773 so that setting the value marks the register as dirty instead
8774 of immediately flushing that value. Resuming CPU execution
8775 (including by single stepping) or otherwise activating the
8776 relevant module will flush such values.
8777
8778 Cores may have surprisingly many registers in their
8779 Debug and trace infrastructure:
8780
8781 @example
8782 > reg
8783 ===== ARM registers
8784 (0) r0 (/32): 0x0000D3C2 (dirty)
8785 (1) r1 (/32): 0xFD61F31C
8786 (2) r2 (/32)
8787 ...

8790 @end example
8791 @end deffn
8792
8793 @deffn {Command} {set_reg} dict
8794 Set register values of the target.
8795
8796 @itemize
8797 @item @var{dict} ... Tcl dictionary with pairs of register names and values.
8798 @end itemize
8799
8800 For example, the following command sets the value 0 to the program counter (pc)
8801 register and 0x1000 to the stack pointer (sp) register:
8802
8803 @example
8804 set_reg @{pc 0 sp 0x1000@}
8805 @end example
8806 @end deffn
8807
8808 @deffn {Command} {get_reg} [-force] list
8809 Get register values from the target and return them as Tcl dictionary with pairs
8810 of register names and values.
8811 If option "-force" is set, the register values are read directly from the
8812 target, bypassing any caching.
8813
8814 @itemize
8815 @item @var{list} ... List of register names
8816 @end itemize
8817
8818 For example, the following command retrieves the values from the program
8819 counter (pc) and stack pointer (sp) register:

8830 @itemize
8831 @item @var{address} ... target memory address

8844
8845 @deffn {Command} {read_memory} address width count ['phys']
8846 This function provides an efficient way to read the target memory from a Tcl
8847 script.
8848 A Tcl list containing the requested memory elements is returned by this function.
8849
8850 @itemize
8851 @item @var{address} ... target memory address
8852 @item @var{width} ... memory access bit size, can be 8, 16, 32 or 64
8853 @item @var{count} ... number of elements to read
8854 @item ['phys'] ... treat the memory address as physical instead of virtual address
8855 @end itemize
8856
8857 For example, the following command reads two 32 bit words from the target
8858 memory at address 0x20000000:
8859
8860 @example
8861 read_memory 0x20000000 32 2

8863 @end deffn
8864
8865 @deffn {Command} {halt} [ms]
8866 @deffnx {Command} {wait_halt} [ms]
8867 The @command{halt} command first sends a halt request to the target,
8868 which @command{wait_halt} doesn't.
8869 Otherwise these behave the same: wait up to @var{ms} milliseconds,
8870 or 5 seconds if there is no parameter, for the target to halt
8871 (and enter debug mode).
8872 Using 0 as the @var{ms} parameter prevents OpenOCD from waiting.
8873
8874 @quotation Warning
8875 On ARM cores, software using the @emph{wait for interrupt} operation
8876 often blocks the JTAG access needed by a @command{halt} command.
8877 This is because that operation also puts the core into a low
8878 power mode by gating the core clock;
8879 but the core clock is needed to detect JTAG clock transitions.
8880
8881 One partial workaround uses adaptive clocking: when the core is
8882 interrupted the operation completes, then JTAG clocks are accepted
8883 at least until the interrupt handler completes.
8884 However, this workaround is often unusable since the processor, board,
8885 and JTAG adapter must all support adaptive JTAG clocking.
8886 Also, it can't work until an interrupt is issued.
8887
8888 A more complete workaround is to not use that operation while you
8889 work with a JTAG debugger.
8890 Tasking environments generally have idle loops where the body is the
8891 @emph{wait for interrupt} operation.
8892 (On older cores, it is a coprocessor action;
8893 newer cores have a @option{wfi} instruction.)
8894 Such loops can just remove that operation, at the cost of higher
8895 power consumption (because the CPU is needlessly clocked).

8934 Requesting target halt and executing a soft reset. This is often used

8936 released begins to execute code. OpenOCD attempts to stop the CPU and
8937 then sets the program counter back to the reset vector. Unfortunately
8938 the code that was executed may have left the hardware in an unknown

8945 Without parameters returns current status of the signals.
8946 The @var{signal} parameter values may be
8947 @option{srst}, indicating that srst signal is to be asserted or deasserted,
8948 @option{trst}, indicating that trst signal is to be asserted or deasserted.
8949
8950 The @command{reset_config} command should already have been used
8951 to configure how the board and the adapter treat these two
8952 signals, and to say if either signal is even present.
8953 @xref{Reset Configuration}.
8954 Trying to assert a signal that is not present triggers an error.
8955 If a signal is present on the adapter and not specified in the command,
8956 the signal will not be modified.
8957
8958 @quotation Note
8959 TRST is specially handled.
8960 It actually signifies JTAG's @sc{reset} state.
8961 So if the board doesn't support the optional TRST signal,
8962 or it doesn't support it along with the specified SRST value,
8963 JTAG reset is triggered with TMS and TCK signals
8964 instead of the TRST signal.
8965 And no matter how that JTAG reset is triggered, once
8966 the scan chain enters @sc{reset} with TRST inactive,
8967 TAP @code{post-reset} events are delivered to all TAPs
8968 with handlers for that event.

9092 watchpoints.
9093 In addition, CPUs almost always support software breakpoints.
9094
9095 @deffn {Command} {bp} [address len [@option{hw}]]

9117 The watch point is an "access" watchpoint unless
9118 the @option{r} or @option{w} parameter is provided,
9119 defining it as respectively a read or write watchpoint.
9120 If a @var{value} is provided, that value is used when determining if

9126 @section Real Time Transfer (RTT)
9127
9128 Real Time Transfer (RTT) is an interface specified by SEGGER based on basic
9129 memory reads and writes to transfer data bidirectionally between target and host.
9130 The specification is independent of the target architecture.
9131 Every target that supports so called "background memory access", which means
9132 that the target memory can be accessed by the debugger while the target is
9133 running, can be used.
9134 This interface is especially of interest for targets without
9135 Serial Wire Output (SWO), such as ARM Cortex-M0, or where semihosting is not
9136 applicable because of real-time constraints.
9137
9138 @quotation Note
9139 The current implementation supports only single target devices.
9140 @end quotation
9141
9142 The data transfer between host and target device is organized through
9143 unidirectional up/down-channels for target-to-host and host-to-target
9144 communication, respectively.
9145
9146 @quotation Note
9147 The current implementation does not respect channel buffer flags.
9148 They are used to determine what happens when writing to a full buffer, for
9149 example.
9150 @end quotation
9151
9152 Channels are exposed via raw TCP/IP connections. One or more RTT servers can be
9153 assigned to each channel to make them accessible to an unlimited number
9154 of TCP/IP connections.
9155
9156 @deffn {Command} {rtt setup} address size ID
9157 Configure RTT for the currently selected target.
9158 Once RTT is started, OpenOCD searches for a control block with the

9160 @var{size} bytes.
9161 @end deffn
9162

9173 Display the polling interval.

9205 rtt server start 9090 0
9206 @end example
9207
9208 In this example, OpenOCD searches the control block with the ID "SEGGER RTT"
9209 starting at 0x20000000 for 2048 bytes. The RTT channel 0 is exposed through the

9253 @cindex tracing
9254 @cindex ETM
9255 @cindex ETB
9256
9257 CPUs based on ARM cores may include standard tracing interfaces,
9258 based on an ``Embedded Trace Module'' (ETM) which sends voluminous
9259 address and data bus trace records to a ``Trace Port''.
9260
9261 @itemize
9262 @item
9263 Development-oriented boards will sometimes provide a high speed
9264 trace connector for collecting that data, when the particular CPU
9265 supports such an interface.
9266 (The standard connector is a 38-pin Mictor, with both JTAG
9267 and trace port support.)
9268 Those trace connectors are supported by higher end JTAG adapters
9269 and some logic analyzer modules; frequently those modules can
9270 buffer several megabytes of trace data.
9271 Configuring an ETM coupled to such an external trace port belongs
9272 in the board-specific configuration file.
9273 @item
9274 If the CPU doesn't provide an external interface, it probably
9275 has an ``Embedded Trace Buffer'' (ETB) on the chip, which is a
9276 dedicated SRAM. 4KBytes is one common ETB size.
9277 Configuring an ETM coupled only to an ETB belongs in the CPU-specific
9278 (target) configuration file, since it works the same on all boards.
9279 @end itemize
9280
9281 ETM support in OpenOCD doesn't seem to be widely used yet.
9282
9283 @quotation Issues
9284 ETM support may be buggy, and at least some @command{etm config}
9285 parameters should be detected by asking the ETM for them.
9286
9287 ETM trigger events could also implement a kind of complex
9288 hardware breakpoint, much more powerful than the simple
9289 watchpoint hardware exported by EmbeddedICE modules.
9290 @emph{Such breakpoints can be triggered even when using the
9291 dummy trace port driver}.
9292
9293 It seems like a GDB hookup should be possible,
9294 as well as tracing only during specific states
9295 (perhaps @emph{handling IRQ 23} or @emph{calls foo()}).
9296
9297 There should be GUI tools to manipulate saved trace data and help
9298 analyse it in conjunction with the source code.
9299 It's unclear how much of a common interface is shared
9300 with the current XScale trace support, or should be
9301 shared with eventual Nexus-style trace module support.
9302
9303 At this writing (November 2009) only ARM7, ARM9, and ARM11 support
9304 for ETM modules is available. The code should be able to
9305 work with some newer cores; but not all of them support
9306 this original style of JTAG access.
9307 @end quotation

9309 @subsection ETM Configuration
9310 ETM setup is coupled with the trace port driver configuration.
9311
9312 @deffn {Config Command} {etm config} target width mode clocking driver
9313 Declares the ETM associated with @var{target}, and associates it
9314 with a given trace port @var{driver}. @xref{traceportdrivers,,Trace Port Drivers}.
9315
9316 Several of the parameters must reflect the trace port capabilities,
9317 which are a function of silicon capabilities (exposed later
9318 using @command{etm info}) and of what hardware is connected to
9319 that port (such as an external pod, or ETB).
9320 The @var{width} must be either 4, 8, or 16,
9321 except with ETMv3.0 and newer modules which may also
9322 support 1, 2, 24, 32, 48, and 64 bit widths.
9323 (With those versions, @command{etm info} also shows whether
9324 the selected port width and mode are supported.)
9325
9326 The @var{mode} must be @option{normal}, @option{multiplexed},
9327 or @option{demultiplexed}.
9328 The @var{clocking} must be @option{half} or @option{full}.
9329
9330 @quotation Warning
9331 With ETMv3.0 and newer, the bits set with the @var{mode} and
9332 @var{clocking} parameters both control the mode.
9333 This modified mode does not map to the values supported by
9334 previous ETM modules, so this syntax is subject to change.
9335 @end quotation

9337 @quotation Note
9338 You can see the ETM registers using the @command{reg} command.

9386 The default behaviour is @option{disable}.
9387 Any change takes effect after the next @command{etm start}.
9388
9389 By using script commands to configure ETM registers, you can make the

9391 more complex than supported by the breakpoint hardware, happen.
9392 @end deffn
9393
9394 @subsection ETM Trace Operation
9395
9396 After setting up the ETM, you can use it to collect data.
9397 That data can be exported to files for later analysis.
9398 It can also be parsed with OpenOCD, for basic sanity checking.
9399
9400 To configure what is being traced, you will need to write
9401 various trace registers using @command{reg ETM_*} commands.
9402 For the definitions of these registers, read ARM publication
9403 @emph{IHI 0014, ``Embedded Trace Macrocell, Architecture Specification''}.
9404 Be aware that most of the relevant registers are write-only,
9405 and that ETM resources are limited. There are only a handful
9406 of address comparators, data comparators, counters, and so on.
9407
9408 Examples of scenarios you might arrange to trace include:
9409
9410 @itemize
9411 @item Code flow within a function, @emph{excluding} subroutines
9412 it calls. Use address range comparators to enable tracing
9413 for instruction access within that function's body.
9414 @item Code flow within a function, @emph{including} subroutines
9415 it calls. Use the sequencer and address comparators to activate
9416 tracing on an ``entered function'' state, then deactivate it by
9417 exiting that state when the function's exit code is invoked.
9418 @item Code flow starting at the fifth invocation of a function,
9419 combining one of the above models with a counter.
9420 @item CPU data accesses to the registers for a particular device,
9421 using address range comparators and the ViewData logic.
9422 @item Such data accesses only during IRQ handling, combining the above

9424 @item @emph{... more}
9425 @end itemize

9427 At this writing, September 2009, there are no Tcl utility
9428 procedures to help set up any common tracing scenarios.

9562 They are available in addition to other core-specific
9563 commands that may be available.
9564
9565 @deffn {Command} {arm core_state} [@option{arm}|@option{thumb}]
9566 Displays the core_state, optionally changing it to process
9567 either @option{arm} or @option{thumb} instructions.
9568 The target may later be resumed in the currently set core_state.

9571 @end deffn
9572
9573 @deffn {Command} {arm disassemble} address [count [@option{thumb}]]
9574 @cindex disassemble
9575 Disassembles @var{count} instructions starting at @var{address}.
9576 If @var{count} is not specified, a single instruction is disassembled.
9577 If @option{thumb} is specified, or the low bit of the address is set,
9578 Thumb2 (mixed 16/32-bit) instructions are used;
9579 else ARM (32-bit) instructions are used.
9580 (Processors may also support the Jazelle state, but
9581 those instructions are not currently understood by OpenOCD.)
9582
9583 Note that all Thumb instructions are Thumb2 instructions,
9584 so older processors (without Thumb2 support) will still
9585 see correct disassembly of Thumb code.
9586 Also, ThumbEE opcodes are the same as Thumb2,
9587 with a handful of exceptions.
9588 ThumbEE disassembly currently has no explicit support.

9615 @cindex ARM semihosting
9616 Display status of semihosting, after optionally changing that status.
9617
9618 Semihosting allows for code executing on an ARM target to use the
9619 I/O facilities on the host computer i.e. the system where OpenOCD
9620 is running. The target application must be linked against a library
9621 implementing the ARM semihosting convention that forwards operation
9622 requests by using a special SVC instruction that is trapped at the
9623 Supervisor Call vector by OpenOCD.

9629 Redirect semihosting messages to a specified TCP port.
9630
9631 This command redirects debug (READC, WRITEC and WRITE0) and stdio (READ, WRITE)
9632 semihosting operations to the specified TCP port.
9633 The command allows to select which type of operations to redirect (debug, stdio, all (default)).
9634 Note: for stdio operations, only I/O from/to ':tt' file descriptors are redirected.

9640
9641 @example
9642 arm semihosting_cmdline argv0 argv1 argv2 ...
9643 @end example
9644
9645 This option lets one set the command line arguments to be passed to
9646 the program. The first argument (argv0) is the program name in a
9647 standard C environment (argv[0]). Depending on the program (not much
9648 programs look at argv[0]), argv0 is ignored and can be any string.

9652 @cindex ARM semihosting
9653 Display status of semihosting fileio, after optionally changing that
9654 status.
9655
9656 Enabling this option forwards semihosting I/O to GDB process using the
9657 File-I/O remote protocol extension. This is especially useful for
9658 interacting with remote files or displaying console messages in the
9659 debugger.
9660 @end deffn
9661
9662 @deffn {Command} {arm semihosting_resexit} [@option{enable}|@option{disable}]
9663 @cindex ARM semihosting
9664 Enable resumable SEMIHOSTING_SYS_EXIT.
9665
9666 When SEMIHOSTING_SYS_EXIT is called outside a debug session,
9667 things are simple, the openocd process calls exit() and passes
9668 the value returned by the target.
9669
9670 When SEMIHOSTING_SYS_EXIT is called during a debug session,
9671 by default execution returns to the debugger, leaving the
9672 debugger in a HALT state, similar to the state entered when
9673 encountering a break.
9674
9675 In some use cases, it is useful to have SEMIHOSTING_SYS_EXIT
9676 return normally, as any semihosting call, and do not break
9677 to the debugger.
9678 The standard allows this to happen, but the condition
9679 to trigger it is a bit obscure ("by performing an RDI_Execute
9680 request or equivalent").
9681
9682 To make the SEMIHOSTING_SYS_EXIT call return normally, enable
9683 this option (default: disabled).

9690
9691 When the target makes semihosting call with operation number from range 0x100-
9692 0x107, an optional string parameter can be passed to the server. This parameter
9693 is valid during the run of the event handlers and is accessible with this

9718 They are available in addition to the ARM commands,
9719 and any other core-specific commands that may be available.
9720
9721 @deffn {Command} {arm7_9 dbgrq} [@option{enable}|@option{disable}]
9722 Displays the value of the flag controlling use of the
9723 EmbeddedIce DBGRQ signal to force entry into debug mode,
9724 instead of breakpoints.
9725 If a boolean parameter is provided, first assigns that flag.
9726
9727 This should be
9728 safe for all but ARM7TDMI-S cores (like NXP LPC).
9729 This feature is enabled by default on most ARM9 cores,

9735 Displays the value of the flag controlling use of the debug communications
9736 channel (DCC) to write larger (>128 byte) amounts of memory.
9737 If a boolean parameter is provided, first assigns that flag.
9738
9739 DCC downloads offer a huge speed increase, but might be
9740 unsafe, especially with targets running at very low speeds. This command was introduced
9741 with OpenOCD rev. 60, and requires a few bytes of working area.

9746 that don't check completion of the operation.
9747 If a boolean parameter is provided, first assigns that flag.
9748
9749 This provides a huge speed increase, especially with USB JTAG
9750 cables (FT2232), but might be unsafe if used with targets running at very low
9751 speeds, like the 32kHz startup clock of an AT91RM9200.

9847
9848 @subsection XScale specific commands
9849 @cindex XScale
9850
9851 Some notes about the debug implementation on the XScale CPUs:
9852
9853 The XScale CPU provides a special debug-only mini-instruction cache
9854 (mini-IC) in which exception vectors and target-resident debug handler
9855 code are placed by OpenOCD. In order to get access to the CPU, OpenOCD
9856 must point vector 0 (the reset vector) to the entry of the debug
9857 handler. However, this means that the complete first cacheline in the
9858 mini-IC is marked valid, which makes the CPU fetch all exception
9859 handlers from the mini-IC, ignoring the code in RAM.
9860
9861 To address this situation, OpenOCD provides the @code{xscale
9862 vector_table} command, which allows the user to explicitly write
9863 individual entries to either the high or low vector table stored in
9864 the mini-IC.
9865
9866 It is recommended to place a pc-relative indirect branch in the vector
9867 table, and put the branch destination somewhere in memory. Doing so
9868 makes sure the code in the vector table stays constant regardless of
9869 code layout in memory:
9870 @example
9871 _vectors:
9872 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
9873 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
9874 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
9875 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
9876 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
9877 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
9878 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
9879 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
9880 .org 0x100
9881 .long real_reset_vector
9882 .long real_ui_handler
9883 .long real_swi_handler
9884 .long real_pf_abort
9885 .long real_data_abort
9886 .long 0 /* unused */
9887 .long real_irq_handler
9888 .long real_fiq_handler
9889 @end example
9890
9891 Alternatively, you may choose to keep some or all of the mini-IC
9892 vector table entries synced with those written to memory by your
9893 system software. The mini-IC can not be modified while the processor
9894 is executing, but for each vector table entry not previously defined
9895 using the @code{xscale vector_table} command, OpenOCD will copy the
9896 value from memory to the mini-IC every time execution resumes from a
9897 halt. This is done for both high and low vector tables (although the
9898 table not in use may not be mapped to valid memory, and in this case
9899 that copy operation will silently fail). This means that you will
9900 need to briefly halt execution at some strategic point during system
9901 start-up; e.g., after the software has initialized the vector table,
9902 but before exceptions are enabled. A breakpoint can be used to
9903 accomplish this once the appropriate location in the start-up code has
9904 been identified. A watchpoint over the vector table region is helpful
9905 in finding the location if you're not sure. Note that the same
9906 situation exists any time the vector table is modified by the system
9907 software.
9908
9909 The debug handler must be placed somewhere in the address space using
9910 the @code{xscale debug_handler} command. The allowed locations for the
9911 debug handler are either (0x800 - 0x1fef800) or (0xfe000800 -
9912 0xfffff800). The default value is 0xfe000800.
9913
9914 XScale has resources to support two hardware breakpoints and two
9915 watchpoints. However, the following restrictions on watchpoint
9916 functionality apply: (1) the value and mask arguments to the @code{wp}
9917 command are not supported, (2) the watchpoint length must be a
9918 power of two and not less than four, and can not be greater than the
9919 watchpoint address, and (3) a watchpoint with a length greater than
9920 four consumes all the watchpoint hardware resources. This means that
9921 at any one time, you can have enabled either two watchpoints with a
9922 length of four, or one watchpoint with a length greater than four.

10119
10120 ARM CoreSight provides several modules to generate debugging
10121 information internally (ITM, DWT and ETM). Their output is directed
10122 through TPIU or SWO modules to be captured externally either on an SWO pin (this
10123 configuration is called SWV) or on a synchronous parallel trace port.
10124
10125 ARM CoreSight provides independent HW blocks named TPIU and SWO each with its
10126 own functionality. Embedded in Cortex-M3 and M4, ARM provides an optional HW
10127 block that includes both TPIU and SWO functionalities and is again named TPIU,
10128 which causes quite some confusion.
10129 The registers map of all the TPIU and SWO implementations allows using a single
10130 driver that detects at runtime the features available.
10131
10132 The @command{tpiu} is used for either TPIU or SWO.
10133 A convenient alias @command{swo} is available to help distinguish, in scripts,
10134 the commands for SWO from the commands for TPIU.

10310 Control masking (disabling) interrupts during target step/resume.
10311
10312 The @option{auto} option handles interrupts during stepping in a way that they
10313 get served but don't disturb the program flow. The step command first allows
10314 pending interrupt handlers to execute, then disables interrupts and steps over
10315 the next instruction where the core was halted. After the step interrupts
10316 are enabled again. If the interrupt handlers don't complete within 500ms,
10317 the step command leaves with the core running.
10318
10319 The @option{steponly} option disables interrupts during single-stepping but
10320 enables them during normal execution. This can be used as a partial workaround
10321 for 702596 erratum in Cortex-M7 r0p1. See "Cortex-M7 (AT610) and Cortex-M7 with
10322 FPU (AT611) Software Developer Errata Notice" from ARM for further details.
10323
10324 Note that a free hardware (FPB) breakpoint is required for the @option{auto}
10325 option. If no breakpoint is available at the time of the step, then the step
10326 is taken with interrupts enabled, i.e. the same way the @option{off} option
10327 does.

10446 @subsection eSi-Trace Configuration
10447
10448 eSi-RISC targets may be configured with support for instruction tracing. Trace
10449 data may be written to an in-memory buffer or FIFO. If a FIFO is configured, DMA
10450 is typically employed to move trace data off-device using a high-speed
10451 peripheral (eg. SPI). Collected trace data is encoded in one of three different
10452 formats. At a minimum, @command{esirisc trace buffer} or @command{esirisc trace
10453 fifo} must be issued along with @command{esirisc trace format} before trace data
10454 can be collected.
10455
10456 OpenOCD provides rudimentary analysis of collected trace data. If more detail is
10457 needed, collected trace data can be dumped to a file and processed by external
10458 tooling.
10459
10460 @quotation Issues
10461 OpenOCD is unable to process trace data sent to a FIFO. A potential workaround
10462 for this issue is to configure DMA to copy trace data to an in-memory buffer,
10463 which can then be passed to the @command{esirisc trace analyze} and
10464 @command{esirisc trace dump} commands.
10465
10466 It is possible to corrupt trace data when using a FIFO if the peripheral
10467 responsible for draining data from the FIFO is not fast enough. This can be
10468 managed by enabling flow control, however this can impact timing-sensitive
10469 software operation on the CPU.

10675 @section RISC-V Architecture
10676
10677 @uref{http://riscv.org/, RISC-V} is a free and open ISA. OpenOCD supports JTAG
10678 debug of RV32 and RV64 cores in heterogeneous multicore systems of up to 32
10679 harts. (It's possible to increase this limit to 1024 by changing
10680 RISCV_MAX_HARTS in riscv.h.) OpenOCD primarily supports 0.13 of the RISC-V
10681 Debug Specification, but there is also support for legacy targets that
10682 implement version 0.11.
10683
10684 @subsection RISC-V Terminology
10685
10686 A @emph{hart} is a hardware thread. A hart may share resources (eg. FPU) with
10687 another hart, or may be a separate core. RISC-V treats those the same, and
10688 OpenOCD exposes each hart as a separate core.
10689
10690 @subsection Vector Registers
10691
10692 For harts that implement the vector extension, OpenOCD provides access to the
10693 relevant CSRs, as well as the vector registers (v0-v31). The size of each
10694 vector register is dependent on the value of vlenb. RISC-V allows each vector
10695 register to be divided into selected-width elements, and this division can be
10696 changed at run-time. Because OpenOCD cannot update register definitions at
10697 run-time, it exposes each vector register to gdb as a union of fields of
10698 vectors so that users can easily access individual bytes, shorts, words,
10699 longs, and quads inside each vector register. It is left to gdb or
10700 higher-level debuggers to present this data in a more intuitive format.
10701
10702 In the XML register description, the vector registers (when vlenb=16) look as
10703 follows:
10704
10705 @example
10706 <feature name="org.gnu.gdb.riscv.vector">
10707 <vector id="bytes" type="uint8" count="16"/>
10708 <vector id="shorts" type="uint16" count="8"/>
10709 <vector id="words" type="uint32" count="4"/>
10710 <vector id="longs" type="uint64" count="2"/>
10711 <vector id="quads" type="uint128" count="1"/>
10712 <union id="riscv_vector">
10713 <field name="b" type="bytes"/>
10714 <field name="s" type="shorts"/>
10715 <field name="w" type="words"/>
10716 <field name="l" type="longs"/>
10717 <field name="q" type="quads"/>
10718 </union>
10719 <reg name="v0" bitsize="128" regnum="4162" save-restore="no"
10720 type="riscv_vector" group="vector"/>
10721 ...
10722 <reg name="v31" bitsize="128" regnum="4193" save-restore="no"
10723 type="riscv_vector" group="vector"/>
10724 </feature>
10725 @end example
10726
10727 @subsection RISC-V Debug Configuration Commands
10728
10729 @deffn {Config Command} {riscv expose_csrs} n[-m|=name] [...]
10730 Configure which CSRs to expose in addition to the standard ones. The CSRs to expose
10731 can be specified as individual register numbers or register ranges (inclusive). For the
10732 individually listed CSRs, a human-readable name can optionally be set using the @code{n=name}
10733 syntax, which will get @code{csr_} prepended to it. If no name is provided, the register will be
10734 named @code{csr<n>}.
10735
10736 By default OpenOCD attempts to expose only CSRs that are mentioned in a spec,
10737 and then only if the corresponding extension appears to be implemented. This
10738 command can be used if OpenOCD gets this wrong, or if the target implements custom
10739 CSRs.
10740
10741 @example
10742 # Expose a single RISC-V CSR number 128 under the name "csr128":
10743 $_TARGETNAME expose_csrs 128
10744
10745 # Expose multiple RISC-V CSRs 128..132 under names "csr128" through "csr132":
10746 $_TARGETNAME expose_csrs 128-132
10747
10748 # Expose a single RISC-V CSR number 1996 under custom name "csr_myregister":

10751 @end deffn
10752
10753 @deffn {Config Command} {riscv expose_custom} n[-m|=name] [...]
10754 The RISC-V Debug Specification allows targets to expose custom registers
10755 through abstract commands. (See Section 3.5.1.1 in that document.) This command
10756 configures individual registers or register ranges (inclusive) that shall be exposed.
10757 Number 0 indicates the first custom register, whose abstract command number is 0xc000.
10758 For individually listed registers, a human-readable name can be optionally provided
10759 using the @code{n=name} syntax, which will get @code{custom_} prepended to it. If no
10760 name is provided, the register will be named @code{custom<n>}.
10761
10762 @example
10763 # Expose one RISC-V custom register with number 0xc010 (0xc000 + 16)
10764 # under the name "custom16":
10765 $_TARGETNAME expose_custom 16

10898 Synopsys DesignWare ARC Processors are a family of 32-bit CPUs that SoC
10899 designers can optimize for a wide range of uses, from deeply embedded to
10900 high-performance host applications in a variety of market segments. See more
10901 at: @url{http://www.synopsys.com/IP/ProcessorIP/ARCProcessors/Pages/default.aspx}.
10902 OpenOCD currently supports ARC EM processors.
10903 There is a set ARC-specific OpenOCD commands that allow low-level
10904 access to the core and provide necessary support for ARC extensibility and
10905 configurability capabilities. ARC processors has much more configuration
10906 capabilities than most of the other processors and in addition there is an
10907 extension interface that allows SoC designers to add custom registers and
10908 instructions. For the OpenOCD that mostly means that set of core and AUX
10909 registers in target will vary and is not fixed for a particular processor
10910 model. To enable extensibility several TCL commands are provided that allow to
10911 describe those optional registers in OpenOCD configuration files. Moreover
10912 those commands allow for a dynamic target features discovery.

10915 @subsection General ARC commands
10916
10917 @deffn {Config Command} {arc add-reg} configparams
10918
10919 Add a new register to processor target. By default newly created register is
10920 marked as not existing. @var{configparams} must have following required
10921 arguments:
10922
10923 @itemize @bullet
10924
10925 @item @code{-name} name
10926 @*Name of a register.
10927
10928 @item @code{-num} number
10929 @*Architectural register number: core register number or AUX register number.
10930
10931 @item @code{-feature} XML_feature
10932 @*Name of GDB XML target description feature.
10933
10934 @end itemize
10935
10936 @var{configparams} may have following optional arguments:
10937
10938 @itemize @bullet
10939
10940 @item @code{-gdbnum} number
10941 @*GDB register number. It is recommended to not assign GDB register number
10942 manually, because there would be a risk that two register will have same
10943 number. When register GDB number is not set with this option, then register
10944 will get a previous register number + 1. This option is required only for those
10945 registers that must be at particular address expected by GDB.
10946
10947 @item @code{-core}
10948 @*This option specifies that register is a core registers. If not - this is an
10949 AUX register. AUX registers and core registers reside in different address
10950 spaces.
10951
10952 @item @code{-bcr}
10953 @*This options specifies that register is a BCR register. BCR means Build
10954 Configuration Registers - this is a special type of AUX registers that are read
10955 only and non-volatile, that is - they never change their value. Therefore OpenOCD
10956 never invalidates values of those registers in internal caches. Because BCR is a
10957 type of AUX registers, this option cannot be used with @code{-core}.
10958
10959 @item @code{-type} type_name
10960 @*Name of type of this register. This can be either one of the basic GDB types,
10961 or a custom types described with @command{arc add-reg-type-[flags|struct]}.
10962
10963 @item @code{-g}
10964 @* If specified then this is a "general" register. General registers are always
10965 read by OpenOCD on context save (when core has just been halted) and is always
10966 transferred to GDB client in a response to g-packet. Contrary to this,
10967 non-general registers are read and sent to GDB client on-demand. In general it
10968 is not recommended to apply this option to custom registers.

11035
11036 OpenOCD supports generic Xtensa processors implementation which can be customized by
11037 simply providing vendor-specific core configuration which controls every configurable
11038 Xtensa architecture option, e.g. number of address registers, exceptions, reduced
11039 size instructions support, memory banks configuration etc. Also OpenOCD supports SMP
11040 configurations for Xtensa processors with any number of cores and allows to configure
11041 their debug signals interconnection (so-called "break/stall networks") which control how
11042 debug signals are distributed among cores. Xtensa "break networks" are compatible with
11043 ARM's Cross Trigger Interface (CTI). For debugging code on Xtensa chips OpenOCD
11044 uses JTAG protocol. Currently OpenOCD implements several Epsressif Xtensa-based chips of

11121 @cindex tracing
11122 @cindex libdcc
11123 @cindex DCC
11124 OpenOCD can process certain requests from target software, when
11125 the target uses appropriate libraries.
11126 The most powerful mechanism is semihosting, but there is also
11127 a lighter weight mechanism using only the DCC channel.
11128
11129 Currently @command{target_request debugmsgs}
11130 is supported only for @option{arm7_9} and @option{cortex_m} cores.
11131 These messages are received as part of target polling, so
11132 you need to have @command{poll on} active to receive them.
11133 They are intrusive in that they will affect program execution
11134 times. If that is a problem, @pxref{armhardwaretracing,,ARM Hardware Tracing}.
11135
11136 See @file{libdcc} in the contrib dir for more details.
11137 In addition to sending strings, characters, and
11138 arrays of various size integers from the target,
11139 @file{libdcc} also exports a software trace point mechanism.
11140 The target being debugged may
11141 issue trace messages which include a 24-bit @dfn{trace point} number.
11142 Trace point support includes two distinct mechanisms,
11143 each supported by a command:
11144
11145 @itemize
11146 @item @emph{History} ... A circular buffer of trace points
11147 can be set up, and then displayed at any time.
11148 This tracks where code has been, which can be invaluable in
11149 finding out how some fault was triggered.
11150
11151 The buffer may overflow, since it collects records continuously.
11152 It may be useful to use some of the 24 bits to represent a
11153 particular event, and other bits to hold data.
11154
11155 @item @emph{Counting} ... An array of counters can be set up,
11156 and then displayed at any time.
11157 This can help establish code coverage and identify hot spots.
11158
11159 The array of counters is directly indexed by the trace point
11160 number, so trace points with higher numbers are not counted.
11161 @end itemize
11162
11163 Linux-ARM kernels have a ``Kernel low-level debugging
11164 via EmbeddedICE DCC channel'' option (CONFIG_DEBUG_ICEDCC,
11165 depends on CONFIG_DEBUG_LL) which uses this mechanism to
11166 deliver messages before a serial console can be activated.
11167 This is not the same format used by @file{libdcc}.
11168 Other software, such as the U-Boot boot loader, sometimes
11169 does the same thing.
11170
11171 @deffn {Command} {target_request debugmsgs} [@option{enable}|@option{disable}|@option{charmsg}]
11172 Displays current handling of target DCC message requests.
11173 These messages may be sent to the debugger while the target is running.
11174 The optional @option{enable} and @option{charmsg} parameters
11175 both enable the messages, while @option{disable} disables them.
11176
11177 With @option{charmsg} the DCC words each contain one character,
11178 as used by Linux with CONFIG_DEBUG_ICEDCC;
11179 otherwise the libdcc format is used.
11180 @end deffn
11181
11182 @deffn {Command} {trace history} [@option{clear}|count]
11183 With no parameter, displays all the trace points that have triggered
11184 in the order they triggered.
11185 With the parameter @option{clear}, erases all current trace history records.
11186 With a @var{count} parameter, allocates space for that many
11187 history records.
11188 @end deffn
11189
11190 @deffn {Command} {trace point} [@option{clear}|identifier]
11191 With no parameter, displays all trace point identifiers and how many times
11192 they have been triggered.
11193 With the parameter @option{clear}, erases all current trace point counters.
11194 With a numeric @var{identifier} parameter, creates a new a trace point counter
11195 and associates it with that identifier.
11196
11197 @emph{Important:} The identifier and the trace point number
11198 are not related except by this command.
11199 These trace point numbers always start at zero (from server startup,
11200 or after @command{trace point clear}) and count up from there.

11207 Most general purpose JTAG commands have been presented earlier.
11208 (@xref{jtagspeed,,JTAG Speed}, @ref{Reset Configuration}, and @ref{TAP Declaration}.)
11209 Lower level JTAG commands, as presented here,
11210 may be needed to work with targets which require special
11211 attention during operations such as reset or initialization.
11212
11213 To use these commands you will need to understand some
11214 of the basics of JTAG, including:
11215
11216 @itemize @bullet
11217 @item A JTAG scan chain consists of a sequence of individual TAP
11218 devices such as a CPUs.
11219 @item Control operations involve moving each TAP through the same
11220 standard state machine (in parallel)
11221 using their shared TMS and clock signals.
11222 @item Data transfer involves shifting data through the chain of
11223 instruction or data registers of each TAP, writing new register values
11224 while the reading previous ones.
11225 @item Data register sizes are a function of the instruction active in
11226 a given TAP, while instruction register sizes are fixed for each TAP.
11227 All TAPs support a BYPASS instruction with a single bit data register.
11228 @item The way OpenOCD differentiates between TAP devices is by
11229 shifting different instructions into (and out of) their instruction
11230 registers.
11231 @end itemize
11232
11233 @section Low Level JTAG Commands
11234
11235 These commands are used by developers who need to access
11236 JTAG instruction or data registers, possibly controlling
11237 the order of TAP state transitions.
11238 If you're not debugging OpenOCD internals, or bringing up a
11239 new JTAG adapter or a new type of TAP device (like a CPU or
11240 JTAG router), you probably won't need to use these commands.
11241 In a debug session that doesn't use JTAG for its transport protocol,
11242 these commands are not available.
11243
11244 @deffn {Command} {drscan} tap [numbits value]+ [@option{-endstate} tap_state]
11245 Loads the data register of @var{tap} with a series of bit fields
11246 that specify the entire register.
11247 Each field is @var{numbits} bits long with
11248 a numeric @var{value} (hexadecimal encouraged).
11249 The return value holds the original value of each
11250 of those fields.
11251
11252 For example, a 38 bit number might be specified as one
11253 field of 32 bits then one of 6 bits.
11254 @emph{For portability, never pass fields which are more
11255 than 32 bits long. Many OpenOCD implementations do not
11256 support 64-bit (or larger) integer values.}
11257
11258 All TAPs other than @var{tap} must be in BYPASS mode.
11259 The single bit in their data registers does not matter.
11260
11261 When @var{tap_state} is specified, the JTAG state machine is left
11262 in that state.
11263 For example @sc{drpause} might be specified, so that more
11264 instructions can be issued before re-entering the @sc{run/idle} state.
11265 If the end state is not specified, the @sc{run/idle} state is entered.
11266
11267 @quotation Warning
11268 OpenOCD does not record information about data register lengths,
11269 so @emph{it is important that you get the bit field lengths right}.
11270 Remember that different JTAG instructions refer to different
11271 data registers, which may have different lengths.
11272 Moreover, those lengths may not be fixed;
11273 the SCAN_N instruction can change the length of
11274 the register accessed by the INTEST instruction
11275 (by connecting a different scan chain).
11276 @end quotation
11277 @end deffn
11278
11279 @deffn {Command} {flush_count}
11280 Returns the number of times the JTAG queue has been flushed.
11281 This may be used for performance tuning.
11282
11283 For example, flushing a queue over USB involves a
11284 minimum latency, often several milliseconds, which does
11285 not change with the amount of data which is written.
11286 You may be able to identify performance problems by finding
11287 tasks which waste bandwidth by flushing small transfers too often,
11288 instead of batching them into larger operations.
11289 @end deffn
11290
11291 @deffn {Command} {irscan} [tap instruction]+ [@option{-endstate} tap_state]
11292 For each @var{tap} listed, loads the instruction register
11293 with its associated numeric @var{instruction}.
11294 (The number of bits in that instruction may be displayed
11295 using the @command{scan_chain} command.)
11296 For other TAPs, a BYPASS instruction is loaded.
11297
11298 When @var{tap_state} is specified, the JTAG state machine is left
11299 in that state.
11300 For example @sc{irpause} might be specified, so the data register
11301 can be loaded before re-entering the @sc{run/idle} state.
11302 If the end state is not specified, the @sc{run/idle} state is entered.
11303
11304 @quotation Note
11305 OpenOCD currently supports only a single field for instruction
11306 register values, unlike data register values.
11307 For TAPs where the instruction register length is more than 32 bits,
11308 portable scripts currently must issue only BYPASS instructions.

11313 Start by moving to @var{start_state}, which
11314 must be one of the @emph{stable} states.
11315 Unless it is the only state given, this will often be the
11316 current state, so that no TCK transitions are needed.
11317 Then, in a series of single state transitions
11318 (conforming to the JTAG state machine) shift to
11319 each @var{next_state} in sequence, one per TCK cycle.
11320 The final state must also be stable.

11441 The Xilinx Serial Vector Format, better known as @dfn{XSVF}, is a
11442 binary representation of SVF which is optimized for use with
11443 Xilinx devices.
11444 In a debug session using JTAG for its transport protocol,
11445 OpenOCD supports running such test files.
11446
11447 @quotation Important

11450
11451 @deffn {Command} {xsvf} (tapname|@option{plain}) filename [@option{virt2}] [@option{quiet}]
11452 This issues a JTAG reset (Test-Logic-Reset) and then
11453 runs the XSVF script from @file{filename}.
11454 When a @var{tapname} is specified, the commands are directed at
11455 that TAP.
11456 When @option{virt2} is specified, the @sc{xruntest} command counts
11457 are interpreted as TCK cycles instead of microseconds.
11458 Unless the @option{quiet} option is specified,
11459 messages are logged for comments and some retries.
11460 @end deffn
11461
11462 The OpenOCD sources also include two utility scripts
11463 for working with XSVF; they are not currently installed
11464 after building the software.
11465 You may find them useful:
11466
11467 @itemize
11468 @item @emph{svf2xsvf} ... converts SVF files into the extended XSVF
11469 syntax understood by the @command{xsvf} command; see notes below.

11471 understands the OpenOCD extensions.
11472 @end itemize
11473
11474 The input format accepts a handful of non-standard extensions.
11475 These include three opcodes corresponding to SVF extensions
11476 from Lattice Semiconductor (LCOUNT, LDELAY, LDSR), and
11477 two opcodes supporting a more accurate translation of SVF
11478 (XTRST, XWAITSTATE).
11479 If @emph{xsvfdump} shows a file is using those opcodes, it
11480 probably will not be usable with other XSVF tools.

11489 logic circuits in addition to software for control, visualization and further analysis.
11490 In a session using JTAG for its transport protocol, OpenOCD supports the function

11505 @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
11506 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
11507 access to the IPDBG-Hub. The value shifted into the vir is given by the first parameter @var{vir_value} (default: 0x11). The second
11508 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
11509 shift data through vir can be configured.

11530 @section RAM testing
11531 @cindex RAM testing
11532
11533 There is often a need to stress-test random access memory (RAM) for
11534 errors. OpenOCD comes with a Tcl implementation of well-known memory
11535 testing procedures allowing the detection of all sorts of issues with
11536 electrical wiring, defective chips, PCB layout and other common
11537 hardware problems.
11538
11539 To use them, you usually need to initialise your RAM controller first;
11540 consult your SoC's documentation to get the recommended list of
11541 register operations and translate them to the corresponding
11542 @command{mww}/@command{mwb} commands.
11543
11544 Load the memory testing functions with
11545
11546 @example
11547 source [find tools/memtest.tcl]
11548 @end example

11585 @chapter GDB and OpenOCD
11586 @cindex GDB
11587 OpenOCD complies with the remote gdbserver protocol and, as such, can be used
11588 to debug remote targets.
11589 Setting up GDB to work with OpenOCD can involve several components:
11590
11591 @itemize
11592 @item The OpenOCD server support for GDB may need to be configured.
11593 @xref{gdbconfiguration,,GDB Configuration}.
11594 @item GDB's support for OpenOCD may need configuration,
11595 as shown in this chapter.
11596 @item If you have a GUI environment like Eclipse,
11597 that also will probably need to be configured.
11598 @end itemize
11599
11600 Of course, the version of GDB you use will need to be one which has
11601 been built to know about the target CPU you're using. It's probably
11602 part of the tool chain you're using. For example, if you are doing
11603 cross-development for ARM on an x86 PC, instead of using the native
11604 x86 @command{gdb} command you might use @command{arm-none-eabi-gdb}
11605 if that's the tool chain used to compile your code.
11606
11607 @section Connecting to GDB
11608 @cindex Connecting to GDB
11609 Use GDB 6.7 or newer with OpenOCD if you run into trouble. For
11610 instance GDB 6.3 has a known bug that produces bogus memory access
11611 errors, which has since been fixed; see
11612 @url{http://osdir.com/ml/gdb.bugs.discuss/2004-12/msg00018.html}
11613
11614 OpenOCD can communicate with GDB in two ways:
11615
11616 @enumerate
11617 @item
11618 A socket (TCP/IP) connection is typically started as follows:
11619 @example
11620 target extended-remote localhost:3333
11621 @end example
11622 This would cause GDB to connect to the gdbserver on the local pc using port 3333.
11623
11624 The extended remote protocol is a super-set of the remote protocol and should
11625 be the preferred choice. More details are available in GDB documentation
11626 @url{https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Connecting.html}
11627
11628 To speed-up typing, any GDB command can be abbreviated, including the extended
11629 remote command above that becomes:
11630 @example
11631 tar ext :3333
11632 @end example
11633
11634 @b{Note:} If any backward compatibility issue requires using the old remote
11635 protocol in place of the extended remote one, the former protocol is still
11636 available through the command:
11637 @example
11638 target remote localhost:3333
11639 @end example
11640
11641 @item
11642 A pipe connection is typically started as follows:
11643 @example
11644 target extended-remote | \
11645 openocd -c "gdb_port pipe; log_output openocd.log"
11646 @end example
11647 This would cause GDB to run OpenOCD and communicate using pipes (stdin/stdout).
11648 Using this method has the advantage of GDB starting/stopping OpenOCD for the debug
11649 session. log_output sends the log output to a file to ensure that the pipe is
11650 not saturated when using higher debug level outputs.
11651 @end enumerate
11652
11653 To list the available OpenOCD commands type @command{monitor help} on the
11654 GDB command line.
11655
11656 @section Sample GDB session startup
11657
11658 With the remote protocol, GDB sessions start a little differently
11659 than they do when you're debugging locally.
11660 Here's an example showing how to start a debug session with a
11661 small ARM program.
11662 In this case the program was linked to be loaded into SRAM on a Cortex-M3.
11663 Most programs would be written into flash (address 0) and run from there.
11664
11665 @example
11666 $ arm-none-eabi-gdb example.elf
11667 (gdb) target extended-remote localhost:3333
11668 Remote debugging using localhost:3333
11669 ...
11670 (gdb) monitor reset halt
11671 ...
11672 (gdb) load
11673 Loading section .vectors, size 0x100 lma 0x20000000
11674 Loading section .text, size 0x5a0 lma 0x20000100
11675 Loading section .data, size 0x18 lma 0x200006a0
11676 Start address 0x2000061c, load size 1720
11677 Transfer rate: 22 KB/sec, 573 bytes/write.
11678 (gdb) continue
11679 Continuing.
11680 ...
11681 @end example
11682
11683 You could then interrupt the GDB session to make the program break,
11684 type @command{where} to show the stack, @command{list} to show the
11685 code around the program counter, @command{step} through code,
11686 set breakpoints or watchpoints, and so on.
11687
11688 @section Configuring GDB for OpenOCD
11689
11690 OpenOCD supports the gdb @option{qSupported} packet, this enables information
11691 to be sent by the GDB remote server (i.e. OpenOCD) to GDB. Typical information includes
11692 packet size and the device's memory map.
11693 You do not need to configure the packet size by hand,
11694 and the relevant parts of the memory map should be automatically
11695 set up when you declare (NOR) flash banks.
11696
11697 However, there are other things which GDB can't currently query.
11698 You may need to set those up by hand.
11699 As OpenOCD starts up, you will often see a line reporting
11700 something like:
11701
11702 @example
11703 Info : lm3s.cpu: hardware has 6 breakpoints, 4 watchpoints
11704 @end example
11705
11706 You can pass that information to GDB with these commands:
11707
11708 @example
11709 set remote hardware-breakpoint-limit 6
11710 set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 4
11711 @end example
11712
11713 With that particular hardware (Cortex-M3) the hardware breakpoints
11714 only work for code running from flash memory. Most other ARM systems
11715 do not have such restrictions.
11716
11717 Rather than typing such commands interactively, you may prefer to
11718 save them in a file and have GDB execute them as it starts, perhaps
11719 using a @file{.gdbinit} in your project directory or starting GDB
11720 using @command{gdb -x filename}.
11721
11722 @section Programming using GDB
11723 @cindex Programming using GDB
11724 @anchor{programmingusinggdb}
11725
11726 By default the target memory map is sent to GDB. This can be disabled by
11727 the following OpenOCD configuration option:
11728 @example
11729 gdb_memory_map disable
11730 @end example
11731 For this to function correctly a valid flash configuration must also be set
11732 in OpenOCD. For faster performance you should also configure a valid
11733 working area.
11734
11735 Informing GDB of the memory map of the target will enable GDB to protect any
11736 flash areas of the target and use hardware breakpoints by default. This means
11737 that the OpenOCD option @command{gdb_breakpoint_override} is not required when
11738 using a memory map. @xref{gdbbreakpointoverride,,gdb_breakpoint_override}.
11739
11740 To view the configured memory map in GDB, use the GDB command @option{info mem}.
11741 All other unassigned addresses within GDB are treated as RAM.
11742
11743 GDB 6.8 and higher set any memory area not in the memory map as inaccessible.
11744 This can be changed to the old behaviour by using the following GDB command
11745 @example
11746 set mem inaccessible-by-default off
11747 @end example
11748
11749 If @command{gdb_flash_program enable} is also used, GDB will be able to
11750 program any flash memory using the vFlash interface.
11751
11752 GDB will look at the target memory map when a load command is given, if any
11753 areas to be programmed lie within the target flash area the vFlash packets
11754 will be used.
11755
11756 If the target needs configuring before GDB programming, set target
11757 event gdb-flash-erase-start:
11758 @example
11759 $_TARGETNAME configure -event gdb-flash-erase-start BODY
11760 @end example
11761 @xref{targetevents,,Target Events}, for other GDB programming related events.
11762
11763 To verify any flash programming the GDB command @option{compare-sections}
11764 can be used.

11770 If your project controls more than a blinking LED, let's say a heavy industrial
11771 robot or an experimental nuclear reactor, stopping the controlling process
11772 just because you want to attach GDB is not a good option.
11773
11774 OpenOCD does not support GDB non-stop mode (might be implemented in the future).
11775 Though there is a possible setup where the target does not get stopped
11776 and GDB treats it as it were running.
11777 If the target supports background access to memory while it is running,
11778 you can use GDB in this mode to inspect memory (mainly global variables)
11779 without any intrusion of the target process.
11780
11781 Remove default setting of gdb-attach event. @xref{targetevents,,Target Events}.
11782 Place following command after target configuration:
11783 @example
11784 $_TARGETNAME configure -event gdb-attach @{@}
11785 @end example
11786
11787 If any of installed flash banks does not support probe on running target,
11788 switch off gdb_memory_map:
11789 @example
11790 gdb_memory_map disable
11791 @end example

11793 Ensure GDB is configured without interrupt-on-connect.
11794 Some GDB versions set it by default, some does not.
11795 @example
11796 set remote interrupt-on-connect off
11797 @end example
11798
11799 If you switched gdb_memory_map off, you may want to setup GDB memory map
11800 manually or issue @command{set mem inaccessible-by-default off}
11801
11802 Now you can issue GDB command @command{target extended-remote ...} and inspect memory
11803 of a running target. Do not use GDB commands @command{continue},
11804 @command{step} or @command{next} as they synchronize GDB with your target
11805 and GDB would require stopping the target to get the prompt back.
11806
11807 Do not use this mode under an IDE like Eclipse as it caches values of
11808 previously shown variables.
11809
11810 It's also possible to connect more than one GDB to the same target by the
11811 target's configuration option @code{-gdb-max-connections}. This allows, for
11812 example, one GDB to run a script that continuously polls a set of variables
11813 while other GDB can be used interactively. Be extremely careful in this case,
11814 because the two GDB can easily get out-of-sync.

11818 @anchor{gdbrtossupport}
11819
11820 OpenOCD includes RTOS support, this will however need enabling as it defaults to disabled.
11821 It can be enabled by passing @option{-rtos} arg to the target. @xref{rtostype,,RTOS Type}.

11827 @* An example setup is below:
11828
11829 @example
11830 $_TARGETNAME configure -rtos auto
11831 @end example
11832
11833 This will attempt to auto detect the RTOS within your application.
11834
11835 Currently supported rtos's include:
11836 @itemize @bullet
11837 @item @option{eCos}
11838 @item @option{ThreadX}
11839 @item @option{FreeRTOS}

11848 @item @option{Zephyr}
11849 @end itemize
11850
11851 At any time, it's possible to drop the selected RTOS using:
11852 @example
11853 $_TARGETNAME configure -rtos none
11854 @end example
11855
11856 Before an RTOS can be detected, it must export certain symbols; otherwise, it cannot
11857 be used by OpenOCD. Below is a list of the required symbols for each supported RTOS.
11858
11859 @table @code
11860 @item eCos symbols
11861 Cyg_Thread::thread_list, Cyg_Scheduler_Base::current_thread.

11891
11892 For most RTOS supported the above symbols will be exported by default. However for
11893 some, eg. FreeRTOS, uC/OS-III and Zephyr, extra steps must be taken.
11894
11895 Zephyr must be compiled with the DEBUG_THREAD_INFO option. This will generate some symbols
11896 with information needed in order to build the list of threads.
11897

11910 @cindex SMP
11911 @cindex RTOS
11912 @cindex hwthread
11913 OpenOCD includes a pseudo RTOS called @emph{hwthread} that presents CPU cores
11914 ("hardware threads") in an SMP system as threads to GDB. With this extension,
11915 GDB can be used to inspect the state of an SMP system in a natural way.
11916 After halting the system, using the GDB command @command{info threads} will
11917 list the context of each active CPU core in the system. GDB's @command{thread}
11918 command can be used to switch the view to a different CPU core.
11919 The @command{step} and @command{stepi} commands can be used to step a specific core
11920 while other cores are free-running or remain halted, depending on the
11921 scheduler-locking mode configured in GDB.

11926 @cindex Tcl scripts
11927 @section API rules
11928
11929 Tcl commands are stateless; e.g. the @command{telnet} command has
11930 a concept of currently active target, the Tcl API proc's take this sort
11931 of state information as an argument to each proc.
11932
11933 There are three main types of return values: single value, name value
11934 pair list and lists.
11935
11936 Name value pair. The proc 'foo' below returns a name/value pair
11937 list.
11938
11939 @example
11940 > set foo(me) Duane
11941 > set foo(you) Oyvind
11942 > set foo(mouse) Micky
11943 > set foo(duck) Donald
11944 @end example
11945
11946 If one does this:
11947
11948 @example
11949 > set foo
11950 @end example
11951
11952 The result is:
11953
11954 @example
11955 me Duane you Oyvind mouse Micky duck Donald
11956 @end example
11957
11958 Thus, to get the names of the associative array is easy:
11959
11960 @verbatim
11961 foreach { name value } [set foo] {
11962 puts "Name: $name, Value: $value"
11963 }
11964 @end verbatim
11965
11966 Lists returned should be relatively small. Otherwise, a range
11967 should be passed in to the proc in question.
11968
11969 @section Internal low-level Commands
11970
11971 By "low-level", we mean commands that a human would typically not
11972 invoke directly.
11973

11975 @item @b{flash banks} <@var{driver}> <@var{base}> <@var{size}> <@var{chip_width}> <@var{bus_width}> <@var{target}> [@option{driver options} ...]
11976
11977 Return information about the flash banks
11978
11979 @item @b{capture} <@var{command}>
11980
11981 Run <@var{command}> and return full log output that was produced during
11982 its execution. Example:
11983
11984 @example
11985 > capture "reset init"
11986 @end example
11987
11988 @end itemize
11989
11990 OpenOCD commands can consist of two words, e.g. "flash banks". The
11991 @file{startup.tcl} "unknown" proc will translate this into a Tcl proc
11992 called "flash_banks".
11993
11994 @section Tcl RPC server
11995 @cindex RPC
11996
11997 OpenOCD provides a simple RPC server that allows to run arbitrary Tcl
11998 commands and receive the results.
11999
12000 To access it, your application needs to connect to a configured TCP port
12001 (see @command{tcl_port}). Then it can pass any string to the
12002 interpreter terminating it with @code{0x1a} and wait for the return
12003 value (it will be terminated with @code{0x1a} as well). This can be
12004 repeated as many times as desired without reopening the connection.
12005
12006 It is not needed anymore to prefix the OpenOCD commands with
12007 @code{ocd_} to get the results back. But sometimes you might need the
12008 @command{capture} command.
12009
12010 See @file{contrib/rpc_examples/} for specific client implementations.

12015 Notifications are sent asynchronously to other commands being executed over
12016 the RPC server, so the port must be polled continuously.

12061 @item @b{RTCK, also known as: Adaptive Clocking - What is it?}
12062 @cindex RTCK
12063 @cindex adaptive clocking
12064 @*
12065
12066 In digital circuit design it is often referred to as ``clock
12067 synchronisation'' the JTAG interface uses one clock (TCK or TCLK)
12068 operating at some speed, your CPU target is operating at another.
12069 The two clocks are not synchronised, they are ``asynchronous''
12070
12071 In order for the two to work together they must be synchronised
12072 well enough to work; JTAG can't go ten times faster than the CPU,
12073 for example. There are 2 basic options:
12074 @enumerate
12075 @item
12076 Use a special "adaptive clocking" circuit to change the JTAG
12077 clock rate to match what the CPU currently supports.
12078 @item
12079 The JTAG clock must be fixed at some speed that's enough slower than
12080 the CPU clock that all TMS and TDI transitions can be detected.
12081 @end enumerate
12082
12083 @b{Does this really matter?} For some chips and some situations, this
12084 is a non-issue, like a 500MHz ARM926 with a 5 MHz JTAG link;
12085 the CPU has no difficulty keeping up with JTAG.
12086 Startup sequences are often problematic though, as are other
12087 situations where the CPU clock rate changes (perhaps to save
12088 power).
12089
12090 For example, Atmel AT91SAM chips start operation from reset with
12091 a 32kHz system clock. Boot firmware may activate the main oscillator
12092 and PLL before switching to a faster clock (perhaps that 500 MHz
12093 ARM926 scenario).
12094 If you're using JTAG to debug that startup sequence, you must slow
12095 the JTAG clock to sometimes 1 to 4kHz. After startup completes,
12096 JTAG can use a faster clock.
12097
12098 Consider also debugging a 500MHz ARM926 hand held battery powered
12099 device that enters a low power ``deep sleep'' mode, at 32kHz CPU
12100 clock, between keystrokes unless it has work to do. When would
12101 that 5 MHz JTAG clock be usable?
12102
12103 @b{Solution #1 - A special circuit}
12104
12105 In order to make use of this,
12106 your CPU, board, and JTAG adapter must all support the RTCK
12107 feature. Not all of them support this; keep reading!
12108
12109 The RTCK ("Return TCK") signal in some ARM chips is used to help with
12110 this problem. ARM has a good description of the problem described at
12111 this link: @url{http://www.arm.com/support/faqdev/4170.html} [checked
12112 28/nov/2008]. Link title: ``How does the JTAG synchronisation logic
12113 work? / how does adaptive clocking work?''.
12114
12115 The nice thing about adaptive clocking is that ``battery powered hand
12116 held device example'' - the adaptiveness works perfectly all the
12117 time. One can set a break point or halt the system in the deep power
12118 down code, slow step out until the system speeds up.
12119
12120 Note that adaptive clocking may also need to work at the board level,
12121 when a board-level scan chain has multiple chips.
12122 Parallel clock voting schemes are good way to implement this,
12123 both within and between chips, and can easily be implemented
12124 with a CPLD.
12125 It's not difficult to have logic fan a module's input TCK signal out
12126 to each TAP in the scan chain, and then wait until each TAP's RTCK comes
12127 back with the right polarity before changing the output RTCK signal.
12128 Texas Instruments makes some clock voting logic available
12129 for free (with no support) in VHDL form; see
12130 @url{http://tiexpressdsp.com/index.php/Adaptive_Clocking}
12131
12132 @b{Solution #2 - Always works - but may be slower}
12133
12134 Often this is a perfectly acceptable solution.
12135
12136 In most simple terms: Often the JTAG clock must be 1/10 to 1/12 of
12137 the target clock speed. But what that ``magic division'' is varies
12138 depending on the chips on your board.
12139 @b{ARM rule of thumb} Most ARM based systems require an 6:1 division;
12140 ARM11 cores use an 8:1 division.
12141 @b{Xilinx rule of thumb} is 1/12 the clock speed.
12142
12143 Note: most full speed FT2232 based JTAG adapters are limited to a
12144 maximum of 6MHz. The ones using USB high speed chips (FT2232H)
12145 often support faster clock rates (and adaptive clocking).
12146
12147 You can still debug the 'low power' situations - you just need to
12148 either use a fixed and very slow JTAG clock rate ... or else
12149 manually adjust the clock speed at every step. (Adjusting is painful
12150 and tedious, and is not always practical.)
12151
12152 It is however easy to ``code your way around it'' - i.e.: Cheat a little,
12153 have a special debug mode in your application that does a ``high power
12154 sleep''. If you are careful - 98% of your problems can be debugged
12155 this way.
12156
12157 Note that on ARM you may need to avoid using the @emph{wait for interrupt}
12158 operation in your idle loops even if you don't otherwise change the CPU
12159 clock rate.
12160 That operation gates the CPU clock, and thus the JTAG clock; which
12161 prevents JTAG access. One consequence is not being able to @command{halt}
12162 cores which are executing that @emph{wait for interrupt} operation.
12163
12164 To set the JTAG frequency use the command:
12165
12166 @example
12167 # Example: 1.234MHz
12168 adapter speed 1234
12169 @end example
12170
12171
12172 @item @b{Win32 Pathnames} Why don't backslashes work in Windows paths?
12173
12174 OpenOCD uses Tcl and a backslash is an escape char. Use @{ and @}
12175 around Windows filenames.
12176
12177 @example
12178 > echo \a
12179
12180 > echo @{\a@}
12181 \a
12182 > echo "\a"

12186
12187
12188 @item @b{Missing: cygwin1.dll} OpenOCD complains about a missing cygwin1.dll.
12189
12190 Make sure you have Cygwin installed, or at least a version of OpenOCD that
12191 claims to come with all the necessary DLLs. When using Cygwin, try launching
12192 OpenOCD from the Cygwin shell.
12193
12194 @item @b{Breakpoint Issue} I'm trying to set a breakpoint using GDB (or a front-end like Insight or
12195 Eclipse), but OpenOCD complains that "Info: arm7_9_common.c:213
12196 arm7_9_add_breakpoint(): sw breakpoint requested, but software breakpoints not enabled".
12197
12198 GDB issues software breakpoints when a normal breakpoint is requested, or to implement
12199 source-line single-stepping. On ARMv4T systems, like ARM7TDMI, ARM720T or ARM920T,
12200 software breakpoints consume one of the two available hardware breakpoints.
12201
12202 @item @b{LPC2000 Flash} When erasing or writing LPC2000 on-chip flash, the operation fails at random.
12203
12204 Make sure the core frequency specified in the @option{flash lpc2000} line matches the
12205 clock at the time you're programming the flash. If you've specified the crystal's
12206 frequency, make sure the PLL is disabled. If you've specified the full core speed
12207 (e.g. 60MHz), make sure the PLL is enabled.
12208
12209 @item @b{Amontec Chameleon} When debugging using an Amontec Chameleon in its JTAG Accelerator configuration,
12210 I keep getting "Error: amt_jtagaccel.c:184 amt_wait_scan_busy(): amt_jtagaccel timed
12211 out while waiting for end of scan, rtck was disabled".
12212
12213 Make sure your PC's parallel port operates in EPP mode. You might have to try several
12214 settings in your PC BIOS (ECP, EPP, and different versions of those).
12215
12216 @item @b{Data Aborts} When debugging with OpenOCD and GDB (plain GDB, Insight, or Eclipse),
12217 I get lots of "Error: arm7_9_common.c:1771 arm7_9_read_memory():
12218 memory read caused data abort".
12219
12220 The errors are non-fatal, and are the result of GDB trying to trace stack frames
12221 beyond the last valid frame. It might be possible to prevent this by setting up
12222 a proper "initial" stack frame, if you happen to know what exactly has to
12223 be done, feel free to add this here.
12224
12225 @b{Simple:} In your startup code - push 8 registers of zeros onto the
12226 stack before calling main(). What GDB is doing is ``climbing'' the run
12227 time stack by reading various values on the stack using the standard
12228 call frame for the target. GDB keeps going - until one of 2 things
12229 happen @b{#1} an invalid frame is found, or @b{#2} some huge number of
12230 stackframes have been processed. By pushing zeros on the stack, GDB
12231 gracefully stops.
12232
12233 @b{Debugging Interrupt Service Routines} - In your ISR before you call
12234 your C code, do the same - artificially push some zeros onto the stack,
12235 remember to pop them off when the ISR is done.
12236
12237 @b{Also note:} If you have a multi-threaded operating system, they
12238 often do not @b{in the interest of saving memory} waste these few
12239 bytes. Painful...
12240
12241
12242 @item @b{JTAG Reset Config} I get the following message in the OpenOCD console (or log file):
12243 "Warning: arm7_9_common.c:679 arm7_9_assert_reset(): srst resets test logic, too".
12244
12245 This warning doesn't indicate any serious problem, as long as you don't want to
12246 debug your core right out of reset. Your .cfg file specified @option{reset_config
12247 trst_and_srst srst_pulls_trst} to tell OpenOCD that either your board,
12248 your debugger or your target uC (e.g. LPC2000) can't assert the two reset signals
12249 independently. With this setup, it's not possible to halt the core right out of
12250 reset, everything else should work fine.
12251
12252 @item @b{USB Power} When using OpenOCD in conjunction with Amontec JTAGkey and the Yagarto
12253 toolchain (Eclipse, arm-elf-gcc, arm-elf-gdb), the debugging seems to be
12254 unstable. When single-stepping over large blocks of code, GDB and OpenOCD
12255 quit with an error message. Is there a stability issue with OpenOCD?
12256
12257 No, this is not a stability issue concerning OpenOCD. Most users have solved
12258 this issue by simply using a self-powered USB hub, which they connect their
12259 Amontec JTAGkey to. Apparently, some computers do not provide a USB power
12260 supply stable enough for the Amontec JTAGkey to be operated.

12262 @b{Laptops running on battery have this problem too...}
12263
12264 @item @b{GDB Disconnects} When using the Amontec JTAGkey, sometimes OpenOCD crashes with the following
12265 error message: "Error: gdb_server.c:101 gdb_get_char(): read: 10054".
12266 What does that mean and what might be the reason for this?
12267
12268 Error code 10054 corresponds to WSAECONNRESET, which means that the debugger (GDB)
12269 has closed the connection to OpenOCD. This might be a GDB issue.
12270
12271 @item @b{LPC2000 Flash} In the configuration file in the section where flash device configurations
12272 are described, there is a parameter for specifying the clock frequency
12273 for LPC2000 internal flash devices (e.g. @option{flash bank $_FLASHNAME lpc2000
12274 0x0 0x40000 0 0 $_TARGETNAME lpc2000_v1 14746 calc_checksum}), which must be
12275 specified in kilohertz. However, I do have a quartz crystal of a
12276 frequency that contains fractions of kilohertz (e.g. 14,745,600 Hz,
12277 i.e. 14,745.600 kHz). Is it possible to specify real numbers for the
12278 clock frequency?
12279
12280 No. The clock frequency specified here must be given as an integral number.
12281 However, this clock frequency is used by the In-Application-Programming (IAP)
12282 routines of the LPC2000 family only, which seems to be very tolerant concerning
12283 the given clock frequency, so a slight difference between the specified clock
12284 frequency and the actual clock frequency will not cause any trouble.
12285
12286 @item @b{Command Order} Do I have to keep a specific order for the commands in the configuration file?
12287
12288 Well, yes and no. Commands can be given in arbitrary order, yet the
12289 devices listed for the JTAG scan chain must be given in the right
12290 order (jtag newdevice), with the device closest to the TDO-Pin being
12291 listed first. In general, whenever objects of the same type exist
12292 which require an index number, then these objects must be given in the
12293 right order (jtag newtap, targets and flash banks - a target
12294 references a jtag newtap and a flash bank references a target).
12295
12296 You can use the ``scan_chain'' command to verify and display the tap order.
12297
12298 Also, some commands can't execute until after @command{init} has been
12299 processed. Such commands include @command{nand probe} and everything
12300 else that needs to write to controller registers, perhaps for setting
12301 up DRAM and loading it with code.
12302
12303 @anchor{faqtaporder}
12304 @item @b{JTAG TAP Order} Do I have to declare the TAPS in some
12305 particular order?
12306
12307 Yes; whenever you have more than one, you must declare them in
12308 the same order used by the hardware.
12309
12310 Many newer devices have multiple JTAG TAPs. For example:
12311 STMicroelectronics STM32 chips have two TAPs, a ``boundary scan TAP'' and
12312 ``Cortex-M3'' TAP. Example: The STM32 reference manual, Document ID:
12313 RM0008, Section 26.5, Figure 259, page 651/681, the ``TDI'' pin is
12314 connected to the boundary scan TAP, which then connects to the
12315 Cortex-M3 TAP, which then connects to the TDO pin.
12316
12317 Thus, the proper order for the STM32 chip is: (1) The Cortex-M3, then
12318 (2) The boundary scan TAP. If your board includes an additional JTAG
12319 chip in the scan chain (for example a Xilinx CPLD or FPGA) you could
12320 place it before or after the STM32 chip in the chain. For example:
12321
12322 @itemize @bullet
12323 @item OpenOCD_TDI(output) -> STM32 TDI Pin (BS Input)
12324 @item STM32 BS TDO (output) -> STM32 Cortex-M3 TDI (input)
12325 @item STM32 Cortex-M3 TDO (output) -> SM32 TDO Pin
12326 @item STM32 TDO Pin (output) -> Xilinx TDI Pin (input)
12327 @item Xilinx TDO Pin -> OpenOCD TDO (input)
12328 @end itemize
12329
12330 The ``jtag device'' commands would thus be in the order shown below. Note:
12331
12332 @itemize @bullet
12333 @item jtag newtap Xilinx tap -irlen ...
12334 @item jtag newtap stm32 cpu -irlen ...
12335 @item jtag newtap stm32 bs -irlen ...
12336 @item # Create the debug target and say where it is
12337 @item target create stm32.cpu -chain-position stm32.cpu ...
12338 @end itemize
12339
12340
12341 @item @b{SYSCOMP} Sometimes my debugging session terminates with an error. When I look into the
12342 log file, I can see these error messages: Error: arm7_9_common.c:561

12351 @cindex Tcl
12352
12353 Not everyone knows Tcl - this is not intended to be a replacement for
12354 learning Tcl, the intent of this chapter is to give you some idea of
12355 how the Tcl scripts work.
12356
12357 This chapter is written with two audiences in mind. (1) OpenOCD users
12358 who need to understand a bit more of how Jim-Tcl works so they can do
12359 something useful, and (2) those that want to add a new command to
12360 OpenOCD.
12361
12362 @section Tcl Rule #1
12363 There is a famous joke, it goes like this:
12364 @enumerate
12365 @item Rule #1: The wife is always correct
12366 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
12367 @end enumerate
12368
12369 The Tcl equal is this:
12370
12371 @enumerate
12372 @item Rule #1: Everything is a string
12373 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
12374 @end enumerate
12375
12376 As in the famous joke, the consequences of Rule #1 are profound. Once
12377 you understand Rule #1, you will understand Tcl.
12378
12379 @section Tcl Rule #1b
12380 There is a second pair of rules.
12381 @enumerate
12382 @item Rule #1: Control flow does not exist. Only commands
12383 @* For example: the classic FOR loop or IF statement is not a control
12384 flow item, they are commands, there is no such thing as control flow
12385 in Tcl.
12386 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
12387 @* Actually what happens is this: There are commands that by
12388 convention, act like control flow key words in other languages. One of
12389 those commands is the word ``for'', another command is ``if''.
12390 @end enumerate
12391
12392 @section Per Rule #1 - All Results are strings
12393 Every Tcl command results in a string. The word ``result'' is used
12394 deliberately. No result is just an empty string. Remember: @i{Rule #1 -
12395 Everything is a string}
12396
12397 @section Tcl Quoting Operators
12398 In life of a Tcl script, there are two important periods of time, the
12399 difference is subtle.
12400 @enumerate
12401 @item Parse Time
12402 @item Evaluation Time
12403 @end enumerate
12404
12405 The two key items here are how ``quoted things'' work in Tcl. Tcl has
12406 three primary quoting constructs, the [square-brackets] the
12407 @{curly-braces@} and ``double-quotes''
12408
12409 By now you should know $VARIABLES always start with a $DOLLAR
12410 sign. BTW: To set a variable, you actually use the command ``set'', as
12411 in ``set VARNAME VALUE'' much like the ancient BASIC language ``let x
12412 = 1'' statement, but without the equal sign.
12413
12414 @itemize @bullet
12415 @item @b{[square-brackets]}
12416 @* @b{[square-brackets]} are command substitutions. It operates much
12417 like Unix Shell `back-ticks`. The result of a [square-bracket]
12418 operation is exactly 1 string. @i{Remember Rule #1 - Everything is a
12419 string}. These two statements are roughly identical:
12420 @example
12421 # bash example
12422 X=`date`
12423 echo "The Date is: $X"
12424 # Tcl example
12425 set X [date]
12426 puts "The Date is: $X"
12427 @end example
12428 @item @b{``double-quoted-things''}
12429 @* @b{``double-quoted-things''} are just simply quoted
12430 text. $VARIABLES and [square-brackets] are expanded in place - the
12431 result however is exactly 1 string. @i{Remember Rule #1 - Everything
12432 is a string}
12433 @example
12434 set x "Dinner"
12435 puts "It is now \"[date]\", $x is in 1 hour"
12436 @end example
12437 @item @b{@{Curly-Braces@}}
12438 @*@b{@{Curly-Braces@}} are magic: $VARIABLES and [square-brackets] are
12439 parsed, but are NOT expanded or executed. @{Curly-Braces@} are like
12440 'single-quote' operators in BASH shell scripts, with the added
12441 feature: @{curly-braces@} can be nested, single quotes can not. @{@{@{this is
12442 nested 3 times@}@}@} NOTE: [date] is a bad example;
12443 at this writing, Jim/OpenOCD does not have a date command.
12444 @end itemize
12445
12446 @section Consequences of Rule 1/2/3/4
12447
12448 The consequences of Rule 1 are profound.
12449
12450 @subsection Tokenisation & Execution.
12451
12452 Of course, whitespace, blank lines and #comment lines are handled in
12453 the normal way.
12454
12455 As a script is parsed, each (multi) line in the script file is
12456 tokenised and according to the quoting rules. After tokenisation, that
12457 line is immediately executed.
12458
12459 Multi line statements end with one or more ``still-open''
12460 @{curly-braces@} which - eventually - closes a few lines later.
12461
12462 @subsection Command Execution
12463
12464 Remember earlier: There are no ``control flow''
12465 statements in Tcl. Instead there are COMMANDS that simply act like
12466 control flow operators.
12467
12468 Commands are executed like this:
12469
12470 @enumerate
12471 @item Parse the next line into (argc) and (argv[]).
12472 @item Look up (argv[0]) in a table and call its function.
12473 @item Repeat until End Of File.
12474 @end enumerate
12475
12476 It sort of works like this:
12477 @example
12478 for(;;)@{
12479 ReadAndParse( &argc, &argv );
12480
12481 cmdPtr = LookupCommand( argv[0] );
12482
12483 (*cmdPtr->Execute)( argc, argv );
12484 @}
12485 @end example
12486
12487 When the command ``proc'' is parsed (which creates a procedure
12488 function) it gets 3 parameters on the command line. @b{1} the name of
12489 the proc (function), @b{2} the list of parameters, and @b{3} the body
12490 of the function. Note the choice of words: LIST and BODY. The PROC
12491 command stores these items in a table somewhere so it can be found by
12492 ``LookupCommand()''
12493
12494 @subsection The FOR command
12495
12496 The most interesting command to look at is the FOR command. In Tcl,
12497 the FOR command is normally implemented in C. Remember, FOR is a
12498 command just like any other command.
12499
12500 When the ascii text containing the FOR command is parsed, the parser
12501 produces 5 parameter strings, @i{(If in doubt: Refer to Rule #1)} they
12502 are:
12503
12504 @enumerate 0
12505 @item The ascii text 'for'
12506 @item The start text
12507 @item The test expression
12508 @item The next text
12509 @item The body text
12510 @end enumerate
12511
12512 Sort of reminds you of ``main( int argc, char **argv )'' does it not?
12513 Remember @i{Rule #1 - Everything is a string.} The key point is this:
12514 Often many of those parameters are in @{curly-braces@} - thus the
12515 variables inside are not expanded or replaced until later.
12516
12517 Remember that every Tcl command looks like the classic ``main( argc,
12518 argv )'' function in C. In JimTCL - they actually look like this:
12519
12520 @example
12521 int
12522 MyCommand( Jim_Interp *interp,
12523 int *argc,
12524 Jim_Obj * const *argvs );
12525 @end example
12526
12527 Real Tcl is nearly identical. Although the newer versions have
12528 introduced a byte-code parser and interpreter, but at the core, it
12529 still operates in the same basic way.
12530
12531 @subsection FOR command implementation
12532
12533 To understand Tcl it is perhaps most helpful to see the FOR
12534 command. Remember, it is a COMMAND not a control flow structure.
12535
12536 In Tcl there are two underlying C helper functions.
12537
12538 Remember Rule #1 - You are a string.
12539
12540 The @b{first} helper parses and executes commands found in an ascii
12541 string. Commands can be separated by semicolons, or newlines. While
12542 parsing, variables are expanded via the quoting rules.
12543
12544 The @b{second} helper evaluates an ascii string as a numerical
12545 expression and returns a value.
12546
12547 Here is an example of how the @b{FOR} command could be
12548 implemented. The pseudo code below does not show error handling.
12549 @example
12550 void Execute_AsciiString( void *interp, const char *string );
12551
12552 int Evaluate_AsciiExpression( void *interp, const char *string );
12553
12554 int
12555 MyForCommand( void *interp,
12556 int argc,
12557 char **argv )
12558 @{
12559 if( argc != 5 )@{
12560 SetResult( interp, "WRONG number of parameters");
12561 return ERROR;
12562 @}
12563
12564 // argv[0] = the ascii string just like C
12565
12566 // Execute the start statement.
12567 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[1] );
12568
12569 // Top of loop test
12570 for(;;)@{
12571 i = Evaluate_AsciiExpression(interp, argv[2]);
12572 if( i == 0 )
12573 break;
12574
12575 // Execute the body
12576 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[3] );
12577
12578 // Execute the LOOP part
12579 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[4] );
12580 @}
12581
12582 // Return no error
12583 SetResult( interp, "" );
12584 return SUCCESS;
12585 @}
12586 @end example
12587
12588 Every other command IF, WHILE, FORMAT, PUTS, EXPR, everything works
12589 in the same basic way.
12590
12591 @section OpenOCD Tcl Usage
12592
12593 @subsection source and find commands
12594 @b{Where:} In many configuration files
12595 @* Example: @b{ source [find FILENAME] }
12596 @*Remember the parsing rules
12597 @enumerate
12598 @item The @command{find} command is in square brackets,
12599 and is executed with the parameter FILENAME. It should find and return
12600 the full path to a file with that name; it uses an internal search path.
12601 The RESULT is a string, which is substituted into the command line in
12602 place of the bracketed @command{find} command.
12603 (Don't try to use a FILENAME which includes the "#" character.
12604 That character begins Tcl comments.)
12605 @item The @command{source} command is executed with the resulting filename;
12606 it reads a file and executes as a script.
12607 @end enumerate
12608 @subsection format command
12609 @b{Where:} Generally occurs in numerous places.
12610 @* Tcl has no command like @b{printf()}, instead it has @b{format}, which is really more like
12611 @b{sprintf()}.
12612 @b{Example}
12613 @example
12614 set x 6
12615 set y 7
12616 puts [format "The answer: %d" [expr @{$x * $y@}]]
12617 @end example
12618 @enumerate
12619 @item The SET command creates 2 variables, X and Y.
12620 @item The double [nested] EXPR command performs math
12621 @* The EXPR command produces numerical result as a string.
12622 @* Refer to Rule #1
12623 @item The format command is executed, producing a single string
12624 @* Refer to Rule #1.
12625 @item The PUTS command outputs the text.
12626 @end enumerate
12627 @subsection Body or Inlined Text
12628 @b{Where:} Various TARGET scripts.
12629 @example
12630 #1 Good
12631 proc someproc @{@} @{
12632 ... multiple lines of stuff ...
12633 @}
12634 $_TARGETNAME configure -event FOO someproc
12635 #2 Good - no variables
12636 $_TARGETNAME configure -event foo "this ; that;"
12637 #3 Good Curly Braces
12638 $_TARGETNAME configure -event FOO @{
12639 puts "Time: [date]"
12640 @}
12641 #4 DANGER DANGER DANGER
12642 $_TARGETNAME configure -event foo "puts \"Time: [date]\""
12643 @end example
12644 @enumerate
12645 @item The $_TARGETNAME is an OpenOCD variable convention.
12646 @*@b{$_TARGETNAME} represents the last target created, the value changes
12647 each time a new target is created. Remember the parsing rules. When
12648 the ascii text is parsed, the @b{$_TARGETNAME} becomes a simple string,
12649 the name of the target which happens to be a TARGET (object)
12650 command.
12651 @item The 2nd parameter to the @option{-event} parameter is a TCBODY
12652 @*There are 4 examples:
12653 @enumerate
12654 @item The TCLBODY is a simple string that happens to be a proc name
12655 @item The TCLBODY is several simple commands separated by semicolons
12656 @item The TCLBODY is a multi-line @{curly-brace@} quoted string
12657 @item The TCLBODY is a string with variables that get expanded.
12658 @end enumerate
12659
12660 In the end, when the target event FOO occurs the TCLBODY is
12661 evaluated. Method @b{#1} and @b{#2} are functionally identical. For
12662 Method @b{#3} and @b{#4} it is more interesting. What is the TCLBODY?
12663
12664 Remember the parsing rules. In case #3, @{curly-braces@} mean the
12665 $VARS and [square-brackets] are expanded later, when the EVENT occurs,
12666 and the text is evaluated. In case #4, they are replaced before the
12667 ``Target Object Command'' is executed. This occurs at the same time
12668 $_TARGETNAME is replaced. In case #4 the date will never
12669 change. @{BTW: [date] is a bad example; at this writing,
12670 Jim/OpenOCD does not have a date command@}
12671 @end enumerate
12672 @subsection Global Variables
12673 @b{Where:} You might discover this when writing your own procs @* In
12674 simple terms: Inside a PROC, if you need to access a global variable
12675 you must say so. See also ``upvar''. Example:
12676 @example
12677 proc myproc @{ @} @{
12678 set y 0 #Local variable Y
12679 global x #Global variable X
12680 puts [format "X=%d, Y=%d" $x $y]
12681 @}
12682 @end example
12683 @section Other Tcl Hacks
12684 @b{Dynamic variable creation}
12685 @example
12686 # Dynamically create a bunch of variables.
12687 for @{ set x 0 @} @{ $x < 32 @} @{ set x [expr @{$x + 1@}]@} @{
12688 # Create var name
12689 set vn [format "BIT%d" $x]
12690 # Make it a global
12691 global $vn
12692 # Set it.
12693 set $vn [expr @{1 << $x@}]
12694 @}
12695 @end example
12696 @b{Dynamic proc/command creation}
