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.

411 of a FT245 followed by a CPLD that understands a particular protocol,
412 or emulates this protocol using some other hardware.
413
414 They may appear under different USB VID/PID depending on the particular

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.

2036 used to specify what TCP/IP ports are used, and how GDB should be
2037 supported.

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

2217 Intended as a machine interface.
2218 When not specified during the configuration stage,

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, \

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.

2381 These commands tell
2382 OpenOCD what type of JTAG adapter you have, and how to talk to it.
2383 A few cases are so simple that you only need to say what driver to use:
2384
2385 @example
2386 # jlink interface
2387 adapter driver jlink

2437 @item @option{led}: optional activity led
2438
2439 @end itemize
2440
2441 Some adapters require that the GPIO chip number is set in addition to the GPIO
2442 number. The configuration options enable signals to be defined as active-high or
2443 active-low. The output drive mode can be set to push-pull, open-drain or
2444 open-source. Most adapters will have to emulate open-drain or open-source drive
2445 modes by switching between an input and output. Input and output signals can be
2446 instructed to use a pull-up or pull-down resistor, assuming it is supported by
2447 the adaptor driver and hardware. The initial state of outputs may also be set,
2448 "active" state means 1 for active-high outputs and 0 for active-low outputs.
2449 Bidirectional signals may also be initialized as an input. If the swdio signal
2450 is buffered the buffer direction can be controlled with the swdio_dir signal;
2451 the active state means that the buffer should be set as an output with respect
2452 to the adapter. The command options are cumulative with later commands able to
2453 override settings defined by earlier ones. The two commands @command{gpio led 7
2454 -active-high} and @command{gpio led -chip 1 -active-low} sent sequentially are
2455 equivalent to issuing the single command @command{gpio led 7 -chip 1
2456 -active-low}. It is not permissible to set the drive mode or initial state for
2457 signals which are inputs. The drive mode for the srst and trst signals must be
2458 set with the @command{adapter reset_config} command. It is not permissible to
2459 set the initial state of swdio_dir as it is derived from the initial state of
2460 swdio. The command @command{adapter gpio} prints the current configuration for
2461 all GPIOs while the command @command{adapter gpio gpio_name} prints the current
2462 configuration for gpio_name. Not all adapters support this generic GPIO mapping,
2463 some require their own commands to define the GPIOs used. Adapters that support
2464 the generic mapping may not support all of the listed options.

2582 @deffn {Interface Driver} {ftdi}
2583 This driver is for adapters using the MPSSE (Multi-Protocol Synchronous Serial
2584 Engine) mode built into many FTDI chips, such as the FT2232, FT4232 and FT232H.
2585
2586 The driver is using libusb-1.0 in asynchronous mode to talk to the FTDI device,
2587 bypassing intermediate libraries like libftdi.
2588
2589 Support for new FTDI based adapters can be added completely through
2590 configuration files, without the need to patch and rebuild OpenOCD.
2591
2592 The driver uses a signal abstraction to enable Tcl configuration files to
2593 define outputs for one or several FTDI GPIO. These outputs can then be
2594 controlled using the @command{ftdi set_signal} command. Special signal names
2595 are reserved for nTRST, nSRST and LED (for blink) so that they, if defined,
2596 will be used for their customary purpose. Inputs can be read using the
2597 @command{ftdi get_signal} command.
2598
2599 To support SWD, a signal named SWD_EN must be defined. It is set to 1 when the
2600 SWD protocol is selected. When set, the adapter should route the SWDIO pin to
2601 the data input. An SWDIO_OE signal, if defined, will be set to 1 or 0 as
2602 required by the protocol, to tell the adapter to drive the data output onto
2603 the SWDIO pin or keep the SWDIO pin Hi-Z, respectively.
2604
2605 Depending on the type of buffer attached to the FTDI GPIO, the outputs have to
2606 be controlled differently. In order to support tristateable signals such as
2607 nSRST, both a data GPIO and an output-enable GPIO can be specified for each
2608 signal. The following output buffer configurations are supported:
2609
2610 @itemize @minus
2611 @item Push-pull with one FTDI output as (non-)inverted data line
2612 @item Open drain with one FTDI output as (non-)inverted output-enable
2613 @item Tristate with one FTDI output as (non-)inverted data line and another
2614 FTDI output as (non-)inverted output-enable
2615 @item Unbuffered, using the FTDI GPIO as a tristate output directly by
2616 switching data and direction as necessary
2617 @end itemize
2618
2619 These interfaces have several commands, used to configure the driver
2620 before initializing the JTAG scan chain:
2621
2622 @deffn {Config Command} {ftdi vid_pid} [vid pid]+
2623 The vendor ID and product ID of the adapter. Up to eight
2624 [@var{vid}, @var{pid}] pairs may be given, e.g.
2625 @example
2626 ftdi vid_pid 0x0403 0xcff8 0x15ba 0x0003
2627 @end example
2628 @end deffn
2629
2630 @deffn {Config Command} {ftdi device_desc} description
2631 Provides the USB device description (the @emph{iProduct string})
2632 of the adapter. If not specified, the device description is ignored
2633 during device selection.
2634 @end deffn
2635
2636 @deffn {Config Command} {ftdi channel} channel
2637 Selects the channel of the FTDI device to use for MPSSE operations. Most
2638 adapters use the default, channel 0, but there are exceptions.
2639 @end deffn
2640
2641 @deffn {Config Command} {ftdi layout_init} data direction
2642 Specifies the initial values of the FTDI GPIO data and direction registers.
2643 Each value is a 16-bit number corresponding to the concatenation of the high
2644 and low FTDI GPIO registers. The values should be selected based on the
2645 schematics of the adapter, such that all signals are set to safe levels with
2646 minimal impact on the target system. Avoid floating inputs, conflicting outputs
2647 and initially asserted reset signals.
2648 @end deffn
2649
2650 @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]
2651 Creates a signal with the specified @var{name}, controlled by one or more FTDI
2652 GPIO pins via a range of possible buffer connections. The masks are FTDI GPIO
2653 register bitmasks to tell the driver the connection and type of the output
2654 buffer driving the respective signal. @var{data_mask} is the bitmask for the
2655 pin(s) connected to the data input of the output buffer. @option{-ndata} is
2656 used with inverting data inputs and @option{-data} with non-inverting inputs.
2657 The @option{-oe} (or @option{-noe}) option tells where the output-enable (or
2658 not-output-enable) input to the output buffer is connected. The options
2659 @option{-input} and @option{-ninput} specify the bitmask for pins to be read
2660 with the method @command{ftdi get_signal}.
2661
2662 Both @var{data_mask} and @var{oe_mask} need not be specified. For example, a
2663 simple open-collector transistor driver would be specified with @option{-oe}
2664 only. In that case the signal can only be set to drive low or to Hi-Z and the
2665 driver will complain if the signal is set to drive high. Which means that if
2666 it's a reset signal, @command{reset_config} must be specified as
2667 @option{srst_open_drain}, not @option{srst_push_pull}.
2668
2669 A special case is provided when @option{-data} and @option{-oe} is set to the
2670 same bitmask. Then the FTDI pin is considered being connected straight to the
2671 target without any buffer. The FTDI pin is then switched between output and
2672 input as necessary to provide the full set of low, high and Hi-Z
2673 characteristics. In all other cases, the pins specified in a signal definition
2674 are always driven by the FTDI.
2675
2676 If @option{-alias} or @option{-nalias} is used, the signal is created
2677 identical (or with data inverted) to an already specified signal
2678 @var{name}.

2696
2697 Due to signal propagation delays, sampling TDO on rising TCK can become quite
2698 peculiar at high JTAG clock speeds. However, FTDI chips offer a possibility to sample
2699 TDO on falling edge of TCK. With some board/adapter configurations, this may increase
2700 stability at higher JTAG clocks.

2979 families, but it is possible to use it with some other devices. If you are using
2980 this adapter with a PSoC or a PRoC, you may need to add
2981 @command{kitprog_init_acquire_psoc} or @command{kitprog acquire_psoc} to your
2982 configuration script.
2983
2984 Note that this driver is for the proprietary KitProg protocol, not the CMSIS-DAP
2985 mode introduced in firmware 2.14. If the KitProg is in CMSIS-DAP mode, it cannot
2986 be used with this driver, and must either be used with the cmsis-dap driver or
2987 switched back to KitProg mode. See the Cypress KitProg User Guide for
2988 instructions on how to switch KitProg modes.
2989
2990 Known limitations:
2991 @itemize @bullet
2992 @item The frequency of SWCLK cannot be configured, and varies between 1.6 MHz
2993 and 2.7 MHz.
2994 @item For firmware versions below 2.14, "JTAG to SWD" sequences are replaced by
2995 "SWD line reset" in the driver. This is for two reasons. First, the KitProg does
2996 not support sending arbitrary SWD sequences, and only firmware 2.14 and later
2997 implement both "JTAG to SWD" and "SWD line reset" in firmware. Earlier firmware
2998 versions only implement "SWD line reset". Second, due to a firmware quirk, an
2999 SWD sequence must be sent after every target reset in order to re-establish
3000 communications with the target.
3001 @item Due in part to the limitation above, KitProg devices with firmware below
3002 version 2.14 will need to use @command{kitprog_init_acquire_psoc} in order to
3003 communicate with PSoC 5LP devices. This is because, assuming debug is not
3004 disabled on the PSoC, the PSoC 5LP needs its JTAG interface switched to SWD
3005 mode before communication can begin, but prior to firmware 2.14, "JTAG to SWD"
3006 could only be sent with an acquisition sequence.

3033 @deffn {Config Command} {parport cable} name
3034 Set the layout of the parallel port cable used to connect to the target.

3063 @deffn {Config Command} {parport port} [port_number]
3064 Display either the address of the I/O port
3065 (default: 0x378 for LPT1) or the number of the @file{/dev/parport} device.
3066 If a parameter is provided, first switch to use that port.
3067 This is a write-once setting.
3068
3069 When using PPDEV to access the parallel port, use the number of the parallel port:
3070 @option{parport port 0} (the default). If @option{parport port 0x378} is specified
3071 you may encounter a problem.
3072 @end deffn
3073
3074 @deffn {Config Command} {parport toggling_time} [nanoseconds]
3075 Displays how many nanoseconds the hardware needs to toggle TCK;
3076 the parport driver uses this value to obey the
3077 @command{adapter speed} configuration.
3078 When the optional @var{nanoseconds} parameter is given,
3079 that setting is changed before displaying the current value.
3080
3081 The default setting should work reasonably well on commodity PC hardware.
3082 However, you may want to calibrate for your specific hardware.
3083 @quotation Tip
3084 To measure the toggling time with a logic analyzer or a digital storage
3085 oscilloscope, follow the procedure below:
3086 @example
3087 > parport toggling_time 1000
3088 > adapter speed 500
3089 @end example
3090 This sets the maximum JTAG clock speed of the hardware, but
3091 the actual speed probably deviates from the requested 500 kHz.
3092 Now, measure the time between the two closest spaced TCK transitions.
3093 You can use @command{runtest 1000} or something similar to generate a
3094 large set of samples.
3095 Update the setting to match your measurement:
3096 @example
3097 > parport toggling_time <measured nanoseconds>
3098 @end example
3099 Now the clock speed will be a better match for @command{adapter speed}
3100 command given in OpenOCD scripts and event handlers.
3101
3102 You can do something similar with many digital multimeters, but note
3103 that you'll probably need to run the clock continuously for several
3104 seconds before it decides what clock rate to show. Adjust the
3105 toggling time up or down until the measured clock rate is a good
3106 match with the rate you specified in the @command{adapter speed} command;
3107 be conservative.

3219
3220 For example, the command to read the target's supply voltage is one byte 0xf7 followed
3221 by 15 bytes zero. It returns 8 bytes, where the first 4 bytes represent the ADC sampling
3222 of the reference voltage 1.2V and the last 4 bytes represent the ADC sampling of half
3223 the target's supply voltage.

3668 @section Transport Configuration
3669 @cindex Transport
3670 As noted earlier, depending on the version of OpenOCD you use,
3671 and the debug adapter you are using,
3672 several transports may be available to
3673 communicate with debug targets (or perhaps to program flash memory).
3674 @deffn {Command} {transport list}
3675 displays the names of the transports supported by this
3676 version of OpenOCD.
3677 @end deffn
3678
3679 @deffn {Command} {transport select} @option{transport_name}
3680 Select which of the supported transports to use in this OpenOCD session.
3681
3682 When invoked with @option{transport_name}, attempts to select the named
3683 transport. The transport must be supported by the debug adapter
3684 hardware and by the version of OpenOCD you are using (including the
3685 adapter's driver).
3686
3687 If no transport has been selected and no @option{transport_name} is
3688 provided, @command{transport select} auto-selects the first transport
3689 supported by the debug adapter.
3690
3691 @command{transport select} always returns the name of the session's selected
3692 transport, if any.
3693 @end deffn
3694
3695 @subsection JTAG Transport
3696 @cindex JTAG
3697 JTAG is the original transport supported by OpenOCD, and most
3698 of the OpenOCD commands support it.
3699 JTAG transports expose a chain of one or more Test Access Points (TAPs),
3700 each of which must be explicitly declared.
3701 JTAG supports both debugging and boundary scan testing.
3702 Flash programming support is built on top of debug support.
3703
3704 JTAG transport is selected with the command @command{transport select
3705 jtag}. Unless your adapter uses either @ref{hla_interface,the hla interface
3706 driver} (in which case the command is @command{transport select hla_jtag})
3707 or @ref{st_link_dap_interface,the st-link interface driver} (in which case
3708 the command is @command{transport select dapdirect_jtag}).
3709
3710 @subsection SWD Transport
3711 @cindex SWD
3712 @cindex Serial Wire Debug
3713 SWD (Serial Wire Debug) is an ARM-specific transport which exposes one
3714 Debug Access Point (DAP, which must be explicitly declared.
3715 (SWD uses fewer signal wires than JTAG.)
3716 SWD is debug-oriented, and does not support boundary scan testing.
3717 Flash programming support is built on top of debug support.
3718 (Some processors support both JTAG and SWD.)
3719
3720 SWD transport is selected with the command @command{transport select
3721 swd}. Unless your adapter uses either @ref{hla_interface,the hla interface
3722 driver} (in which case the command is @command{transport select hla_swd})
3723 or @ref{st_link_dap_interface,the st-link interface driver} (in which case
3724 the command is @command{transport select dapdirect_swd}).
3725
3726 @deffn {Config Command} {swd newdap} ...
3727 Declares a single DAP which uses SWD transport.
3728 Parameters are currently the same as "jtag newtap" but this is
3729 expected to change.
3730 @end deffn
3731
3732 @cindex SWD multi-drop
3733 The newer SWD devices (SW-DP v2 or SWJ-DP v2) support the multi-drop extension
3734 of SWD protocol: two or more devices can be connected to one SWD adapter.
3735 SWD transport works in multi-drop mode if @ref{dap_create,DAP} is configured
3736 with both @code{-dp-id} and @code{-instance-id} parameters regardless how many
3737 DAPs are created.
3738
3739 Not all adapters and adapter drivers support SWD multi-drop. Only the following
3740 adapter drivers are SWD multi-drop capable:
3741 cmsis_dap (use an adapter with CMSIS-DAP version 2.0), ftdi, all bitbang based.
3742
3743 @subsection SPI Transport
3744 @cindex SPI
3745 @cindex Serial Peripheral Interface
3746 The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a general purpose transport
3747 which uses four wire signaling. Some processors use it as part of a
3748 solution for flash programming.
3749
3750 @anchor{swimtransport}
3751 @subsection SWIM Transport
3752 @cindex SWIM
3753 @cindex Single Wire Interface Module
3754 The Single Wire Interface Module (SWIM) is a low-pin-count debug protocol used
3755 by the STMicroelectronics MCU family STM8 and documented in the
3756 @uref{https://www.st.com/resource/en/user_manual/cd00173911.pdf, User Manual UM470}.
3757
3758 SWIM does not support boundary scan testing nor multiple cores.
3759
3760 The SWIM transport is selected with the command @command{transport select swim}.
3761
3762 The concept of TAPs does not fit in the protocol since SWIM does not implement
3763 a scan chain. Nevertheless, the current SW model of OpenOCD requires defining a
3764 virtual SWIM TAP through the command @command{swim newtap basename tap_type}.
3765 The TAP definition must precede the target definition command
3766 @command{target create target_name stm8 -chain-position basename.tap_type}.
3767
3768 @anchor{jtagspeed}
3769 @section JTAG Speed
3770 JTAG clock setup is part of system setup.
3771 It @emph{does not belong with interface setup} since any interface
3772 only knows a few of the constraints for the JTAG clock speed.
3773 Sometimes the JTAG speed is
3774 changed during the target initialization process: (1) slow at
3775 reset, (2) program the CPU clocks, (3) run fast.
3776 Both the "slow" and "fast" clock rates are functions of the
3777 oscillators used, the chip, the board design, and sometimes
3778 power management software that may be active.
3779
3780 The speed used during reset, and the scan chain verification which
3781 follows reset, can be adjusted using a @code{reset-start}
3782 target event handler.
3783 It can then be reconfigured to a faster speed by a
3784 @code{reset-init} target event handler after it reprograms those
3785 CPU clocks, or manually (if something else, such as a boot loader,
3786 sets up those clocks).
3787 @xref{targetevents,,Target Events}.
3788 When the initial low JTAG speed is a chip characteristic, perhaps
3789 because of a required oscillator speed, provide such a handler
3790 in the target config file.
3791 When that speed is a function of a board-specific characteristic
3792 such as which speed oscillator is used, it belongs in the board
3793 config file instead.
3794 In both cases it's safest to also set the initial JTAG clock rate
3795 to that same slow speed, so that OpenOCD never starts up using a
3796 clock speed that's faster than the scan chain can support.
3797
3798 @example
3799 jtag_rclk 3000
3800 $_TARGET.cpu configure -event reset-start @{ jtag_rclk 3000 @}
3801 @end example
3802
3803 If your system supports adaptive clocking (RTCK), configuring
3804 JTAG to use that is probably the most robust approach.
3805 However, it introduces delays to synchronize clocks; so it
3806 may not be the fastest solution.
3807
3808 @b{NOTE:} Script writers should consider using @command{jtag_rclk}
3809 instead of @command{adapter speed}, but only for (ARM) cores and boards
3810 which support adaptive clocking.
3811
3812 @deffn {Command} {adapter speed} max_speed_kHz
3813 A non-zero speed is in KHZ. Hence: 3000 is 3mhz.
3814 JTAG interfaces usually support a limited number of
3815 speeds. The speed actually used won't be faster
3816 than the speed specified.
3817
3818 Chip data sheets generally include a top JTAG clock rate.
3819 The actual rate is often a function of a CPU core clock,
3820 and is normally less than that peak rate.
3821 For example, most ARM cores accept at most one sixth of the CPU clock.
3822
3823 Speed 0 (khz) selects RTCK method.
3824 @xref{faqrtck,,FAQ RTCK}.
3825 If your system uses RTCK, you won't need to change the
3826 JTAG clocking after setup.
3827 Not all interfaces, boards, or targets support ``rtck''.
3828 If the interface device can not
3829 support it, an error is returned when you try to use RTCK.

3845 @chapter Reset Configuration
3846 @cindex Reset Configuration
3847
3848 Every system configuration may require a different reset
3849 configuration. This can also be quite confusing.
3850 Resets also interact with @var{reset-init} event handlers,
3851 which do things like setting up clocks and DRAM, and
3852 JTAG clock rates. (@xref{jtagspeed,,JTAG Speed}.)
3853 They can also interact with JTAG routers.
3854 Please see the various board files for examples.
3855
3856 @quotation Note
3857 To maintainers and integrators:
3858 Reset configuration touches several things at once.
3859 Normally the board configuration file
3860 should define it and assume that the JTAG adapter supports
3861 everything that's wired up to the board's JTAG connector.
3862
3863 However, the target configuration file could also make note
3864 of something the silicon vendor has done inside the chip,
3865 which will be true for most (or all) boards using that chip.
3866 And when the JTAG adapter doesn't support everything, the
3867 user configuration file will need to override parts of
3868 the reset configuration provided by other files.
3869 @end quotation
3870
3871 @section Types of Reset
3872
3873 There are many kinds of reset possible through JTAG, but
3874 they may not all work with a given board and adapter.
3875 That's part of why reset configuration can be error prone.
3876
3877 @itemize @bullet
3878 @item
3879 @emph{System Reset} ... the @emph{SRST} hardware signal
3880 resets all chips connected to the JTAG adapter, such as processors,
3881 power management chips, and I/O controllers. Normally resets triggered
3882 with this signal behave exactly like pressing a RESET button.
3883 @item
3884 @emph{JTAG TAP Reset} ... the @emph{TRST} hardware signal resets
3885 just the TAP controllers connected to the JTAG adapter.
3886 Such resets should not be visible to the rest of the system; resetting a
3887 device's TAP controller just puts that controller into a known state.
3888 @item
3889 @emph{Emulation Reset} ... many devices can be reset through JTAG
3890 commands. These resets are often distinguishable from system
3891 resets, either explicitly (a "reset reason" register says so)
3892 or implicitly (not all parts of the chip get reset).
3893 @item
3894 @emph{Other Resets} ... system-on-chip devices often support
3895 several other types of reset.
3896 You may need to arrange that a watchdog timer stops
3897 while debugging, preventing a watchdog reset.
3898 There may be individual module resets.
3899 @end itemize
3900
3901 In the best case, OpenOCD can hold SRST, then reset
3902 the TAPs via TRST and send commands through JTAG to halt the
3903 CPU at the reset vector before the 1st instruction is executed.
3904 Then when it finally releases the SRST signal, the system is
3905 halted under debugger control before any code has executed.
3906 This is the behavior required to support the @command{reset halt}
3907 and @command{reset init} commands; after @command{reset init} a
3908 board-specific script might do things like setting up DRAM.

3914 Because SRST and TRST are hardware signals, they can have a
3915 variety of system-specific constraints. Some of the most
3916 common issues are:
3917
3918 @itemize @bullet
3919
3920 @item @emph{Signal not available} ... Some boards don't wire
3921 SRST or TRST to the JTAG connector. Some JTAG adapters don't
3922 support such signals even if they are wired up.
3923 Use the @command{reset_config} @var{signals} options to say
3924 when either of those signals is not connected.
3925 When SRST is not available, your code might not be able to rely
3926 on controllers having been fully reset during code startup.
3927 Missing TRST is not a problem, since JTAG-level resets can
3928 be triggered using with TMS signaling.
3929
3930 @item @emph{Signals shorted} ... Sometimes a chip, board, or
3931 adapter will connect SRST to TRST, instead of keeping them separate.
3932 Use the @command{reset_config} @var{combination} options to say
3933 when those signals aren't properly independent.
3934
3935 @item @emph{Timing} ... Reset circuitry like a resistor/capacitor
3936 delay circuit, reset supervisor, or on-chip features can extend
3937 the effect of a JTAG adapter's reset for some time after the adapter
3938 stops issuing the reset. For example, there may be chip or board
3939 requirements that all reset pulses last for at least a
3940 certain amount of time; and reset buttons commonly have
3941 hardware debouncing.
3942 Use the @command{adapter srst delay} and @command{jtag_ntrst_delay}
3943 commands to say when extra delays are needed.
3944
3945 @item @emph{Drive type} ... Reset lines often have a pullup
3946 resistor, letting the JTAG interface treat them as open-drain
3947 signals. But that's not a requirement, so the adapter may need
3948 to use push/pull output drivers.
3949 Also, with weak pullups it may be advisable to drive
3950 signals to both levels (push/pull) to minimize rise times.
3951 Use the @command{reset_config} @var{trst_type} and
3952 @var{srst_type} parameters to say how to drive reset signals.
3953
3954 @item @emph{Special initialization} ... Targets sometimes need
3955 special JTAG initialization sequences to handle chip-specific
3956 issues (not limited to errata).
3957 For example, certain JTAG commands might need to be issued while
3958 the system as a whole is in a reset state (SRST active)
3959 but the JTAG scan chain is usable (TRST inactive).
3960 Many systems treat combined assertion of SRST and TRST as a
3961 trigger for a harder reset than SRST alone.
3962 Such custom reset handling is discussed later in this chapter.
3963 @end itemize
3964
3965 There can also be other issues.
3966 Some devices don't fully conform to the JTAG specifications.
3967 Trivial system-specific differences are common, such as
3968 SRST and TRST using slightly different names.
3969 There are also vendors who distribute key JTAG documentation for
3970 their chips only to developers who have signed a Non-Disclosure
3971 Agreement (NDA).
3972
3973 Sometimes there are chip-specific extensions like a requirement to use
3974 the normally-optional TRST signal (precluding use of JTAG adapters which
3975 don't pass TRST through), or needing extra steps to complete a TAP reset.
3976
3977 In short, SRST and especially TRST handling may be very finicky,
3978 needing to cope with both architecture and board specific constraints.
3979
3980 @section Commands for Handling Resets
3981
3982 @deffn {Command} {adapter srst pulse_width} milliseconds
3983 Minimum amount of time (in milliseconds) OpenOCD should wait
3984 after asserting nSRST (active-low system reset) before
3985 allowing it to be deasserted.
3986 @end deffn
3987
3988 @deffn {Command} {adapter srst delay} milliseconds
3989 How long (in milliseconds) OpenOCD should wait after deasserting
3990 nSRST (active-low system reset) before starting new JTAG operations.
3991 When a board has a reset button connected to SRST line it will
3992 probably have hardware debouncing, implying you should use this.
3993 @end deffn
3994
3995 @deffn {Command} {jtag_ntrst_assert_width} milliseconds
3996 Minimum amount of time (in milliseconds) OpenOCD should wait
3997 after asserting nTRST (active-low JTAG TAP reset) before
3998 allowing it to be deasserted.
3999 @end deffn
4000
4001 @deffn {Command} {jtag_ntrst_delay} milliseconds
4002 How long (in milliseconds) OpenOCD should wait after deasserting
4003 nTRST (active-low JTAG TAP reset) before starting new JTAG operations.
4004 @end deffn
4005
4006 @anchor{reset_config}
4007 @deffn {Command} {reset_config} mode_flag ...
4008 This command displays or modifies the reset configuration
4009 of your combination of JTAG board and target in target
4010 configuration scripts.
4011
4012 Information earlier in this section describes the kind of problems
4013 the command is intended to address (@pxref{srstandtrstissues,,SRST and TRST Issues}).
4014 As a rule this command belongs only in board config files,
4015 describing issues like @emph{board doesn't connect TRST};
4016 or in user config files, addressing limitations derived
4017 from a particular combination of interface and board.
4018 (An unlikely example would be using a TRST-only adapter
4019 with a board that only wires up SRST.)
4020
4021 The @var{mode_flag} options can be specified in any order, but only one
4022 of each type -- @var{signals}, @var{combination}, @var{gates},
4023 @var{trst_type}, @var{srst_type} and @var{connect_type}
4024 -- may be specified at a time.
4025 If you don't provide a new value for a given type, its previous
4026 value (perhaps the default) is unchanged.
4027 For example, this means that you don't need to say anything at all about
4028 TRST just to declare that if the JTAG adapter should want to drive SRST,
4029 it must explicitly be driven high (@option{srst_push_pull}).
4030
4031 @itemize
4032 @item
4033 @var{signals} can specify which of the reset signals are connected.
4034 For example, If the JTAG interface provides SRST, but the board doesn't
4035 connect that signal properly, then OpenOCD can't use it.
4036 Possible values are @option{none} (the default), @option{trst_only},
4037 @option{srst_only} and @option{trst_and_srst}.
4038
4039 @quotation Tip
4040 If your board provides SRST and/or TRST through the JTAG connector,
4041 you must declare that so those signals can be used.
4042 @end quotation
4043
4044 @item
4045 The @var{combination} is an optional value specifying broken reset
4046 signal implementations.
4047 The default behaviour if no option given is @option{separate},
4048 indicating everything behaves normally.
4049 @option{srst_pulls_trst} states that the
4050 test logic is reset together with the reset of the system (e.g. NXP
4051 LPC2000, "broken" board layout), @option{trst_pulls_srst} says that
4052 the system is reset together with the test logic (only hypothetical, I
4053 haven't seen hardware with such a bug, and can be worked around).
4054 @option{combined} implies both @option{srst_pulls_trst} and
4055 @option{trst_pulls_srst}.
4056
4057 @item
4058 The @var{gates} tokens control flags that describe some cases where
4059 JTAG may be unavailable during reset.
4060 @option{srst_gates_jtag} (default)
4061 indicates that asserting SRST gates the
4062 JTAG clock. This means that no communication can happen on JTAG
4063 while SRST is asserted.
4064 Its converse is @option{srst_nogate}, indicating that JTAG commands
4065 can safely be issued while SRST is active.
4066
4067 @item
4068 The @var{connect_type} tokens control flags that describe some cases where
4069 SRST is asserted while connecting to the target. @option{srst_nogate}
4070 is required to use this option.
4071 @option{connect_deassert_srst} (default)
4072 indicates that SRST will not be asserted while connecting to the target.
4073 Its converse is @option{connect_assert_srst}, indicating that SRST will
4074 be asserted before any target connection.
4075 Only some targets support this feature, STM32 and STR9 are examples.
4076 This feature is useful if you are unable to connect to your target due
4077 to incorrect options byte config or illegal program execution.
4078 @end itemize
4079
4080 The optional @var{trst_type} and @var{srst_type} parameters allow the
4081 driver mode of each reset line to be specified. These values only affect
4082 JTAG interfaces with support for different driver modes, like the Amontec
4083 JTAGkey and JTAG Accelerator. Also, they are necessarily ignored if the
4084 relevant signal (TRST or SRST) is not connected.
4085
4086 @itemize
4087 @item
4088 Possible @var{trst_type} driver modes for the test reset signal (TRST)
4089 are the default @option{trst_push_pull}, and @option{trst_open_drain}.
4090 Most boards connect this signal to a pulldown, so the JTAG TAPs
4091 never leave reset unless they are hooked up to a JTAG adapter.
4092
4093 @item
4094 Possible @var{srst_type} driver modes for the system reset signal (SRST)
4095 are the default @option{srst_open_drain}, and @option{srst_push_pull}.
4096 Most boards connect this signal to a pullup, and allow the
4097 signal to be pulled low by various events including system
4098 power-up and pressing a reset button.

4101
4102 @section Custom Reset Handling
4103 @cindex events
4104
4105 OpenOCD has several ways to help support the various reset
4106 mechanisms provided by chip and board vendors.
4107 The commands shown in the previous section give standard parameters.
4108 There are also @emph{event handlers} associated with TAPs or Targets.
4109 Those handlers are Tcl procedures you can provide, which are invoked
4110 at particular points in the reset sequence.
4111
4112 @emph{When SRST is not an option} you must set
4113 up a @code{reset-assert} event handler for your target.
4114 For example, some JTAG adapters don't include the SRST signal;
4115 and some boards have multiple targets, and you won't always
4116 want to reset everything at once.
4117
4118 After configuring those mechanisms, you might still
4119 find your board doesn't start up or reset correctly.
4120 For example, maybe it needs a slightly different sequence
4121 of SRST and/or TRST manipulations, because of quirks that
4122 the @command{reset_config} mechanism doesn't address;
4123 or asserting both might trigger a stronger reset, which
4124 needs special attention.
4125
4126 Experiment with lower level operations, such as
4127 @command{adapter assert}, @command{adapter deassert}
4128 and the @command{jtag arp_*} operations shown here,
4129 to find a sequence of operations that works.
4130 @xref{JTAG Commands}.
4131 When you find a working sequence, it can be used to override
4132 @command{jtag_init}, which fires during OpenOCD startup
4133 (@pxref{configurationstage,,Configuration Stage});
4134 or @command{init_reset}, which fires during reset processing.
4135
4136 You might also want to provide some project-specific reset
4137 schemes. For example, on a multi-target board the standard
4138 @command{reset} command would reset all targets, but you
4139 may need the ability to reset only one target at time and
4140 thus want to avoid using the board-wide SRST signal.
4141
4142 @deffn {Overridable Procedure} {init_reset} mode
4143 This is invoked near the beginning of the @command{reset} command,
4144 usually to provide as much of a cold (power-up) reset as practical.
4145 By default it is also invoked from @command{jtag_init} if
4146 the scan chain does not respond to pure JTAG operations.
4147 The @var{mode} parameter is the parameter given to the
4148 low level reset command (@option{halt},
4149 @option{init}, or @option{run}), @option{setup},
4150 or potentially some other value.
4151
4152 The default implementation just invokes @command{jtag arp_init-reset}.
4153 Replacements will normally build on low level JTAG
4154 operations such as @command{adapter assert} and @command{adapter deassert}.
4155 Operations here must not address individual TAPs
4156 (or their associated targets)
4157 until the JTAG scan chain has first been verified to work.
4158
4159 Implementations must have verified the JTAG scan chain before
4160 they return.
4161 This is done by calling @command{jtag arp_init}
4162 (or @command{jtag arp_init-reset}).
4163 @end deffn
4164
4165 @deffn {Command} {jtag arp_init}
4166 This validates the scan chain using just the four
4167 standard JTAG signals (TMS, TCK, TDI, TDO).
4168 It starts by issuing a JTAG-only reset.
4169 Then it performs checks to verify that the scan chain configuration
4170 matches the TAPs it can observe.
4171 Those checks include checking IDCODE values for each active TAP,
4172 and verifying the length of their instruction registers using
4173 TAP @code{-ircapture} and @code{-irmask} values.
4174 If these tests all pass, TAP @code{setup} events are
4175 issued to all TAPs with handlers for that event.
4176 @end deffn
4177
4178 @deffn {Command} {jtag arp_init-reset}
4179 This uses TRST and SRST to try resetting
4180 everything on the JTAG scan chain
4181 (and anything else connected to SRST).
4182 It then invokes the logic of @command{jtag arp_init}.
4183 @end deffn

4186 @node TAP Declaration
4187 @chapter TAP Declaration
4188 @cindex TAP declaration
4189 @cindex TAP configuration
4190
4191 @emph{Test Access Ports} (TAPs) are the core of JTAG.
4192 TAPs serve many roles, including:
4193
4194 @itemize @bullet
4195 @item @b{Debug Target} A CPU TAP can be used as a GDB debug target.
4196 @item @b{Flash Programming} Some chips program the flash directly via JTAG.
4197 Others do it indirectly, making a CPU do it.
4198 @item @b{Program Download} Using the same CPU support GDB uses,
4199 you can initialize a DRAM controller, download code to DRAM, and then
4200 start running that code.
4201 @item @b{Boundary Scan} Most chips support boundary scan, which
4202 helps test for board assembly problems like solder bridges
4203 and missing connections.
4204 @end itemize
4205
4206 OpenOCD must know about the active TAPs on your board(s).
4207 Setting up the TAPs is the core task of your configuration files.
4208 Once those TAPs are set up, you can pass their names to code
4209 which sets up CPUs and exports them as GDB targets,
4210 probes flash memory, performs low-level JTAG operations, and more.
4211
4212 @section Scan Chains
4213 @cindex scan chain
4214
4215 TAPs are part of a hardware @dfn{scan chain},
4216 which is a daisy chain of TAPs.
4217 They also need to be added to
4218 OpenOCD's software mirror of that hardware list,
4219 giving each member a name and associating other data with it.
4220 Simple scan chains, with a single TAP, are common in
4221 systems with a single microcontroller or microprocessor.
4222 More complex chips may have several TAPs internally.
4223 Very complex scan chains might have a dozen or more TAPs:
4224 several in one chip, more in the next, and connecting
4225 to other boards with their own chips and TAPs.
4226
4227 You can display the list with the @command{scan_chain} command.
4228 (Don't confuse this with the list displayed by the @command{targets}
4229 command, presented in the next chapter.
4230 That only displays TAPs for CPUs which are configured as
4231 debugging targets.)
4232 Here's what the scan chain might look like for a chip more than one TAP:
4233
4234 @verbatim
4235 TapName Enabled IdCode Expected IrLen IrCap IrMask
4236 -- ------------------ ------- ---------- ---------- ----- ----- ------
4237 0 omap5912.dsp Y 0x03df1d81 0x03df1d81 38 0x01 0x03
4238 1 omap5912.arm Y 0x0692602f 0x0692602f 4 0x01 0x0f
4239 2 omap5912.unknown Y 0x00000000 0x00000000 8 0x01 0x03
4240 @end verbatim
4241
4242 OpenOCD can detect some of that information, but not all
4243 of it. @xref{autoprobing,,Autoprobing}.
4244 Unfortunately, those TAPs can't always be autoconfigured,
4245 because not all devices provide good support for that.
4246 JTAG doesn't require supporting IDCODE instructions, and
4247 chips with JTAG routers may not link TAPs into the chain
4248 until they are told to do so.
4249
4250 The configuration mechanism currently supported by OpenOCD
4251 requires explicit configuration of all TAP devices using
4252 @command{jtag newtap} commands, as detailed later in this chapter.
4253 A command like this would declare one tap and name it @code{chip1.cpu}:
4254
4255 @example
4256 jtag newtap chip1 cpu -irlen 4 -expected-id 0x3ba00477
4257 @end example
4258
4259 Each target configuration file lists the TAPs provided
4260 by a given chip.
4261 Board configuration files combine all the targets on a board,
4262 and so forth.
4263 Note that @emph{the order in which TAPs are declared is very important.}
4264 That declaration order must match the order in the JTAG scan chain,
4265 both inside a single chip and between them.
4266 @xref{faqtaporder,,FAQ TAP Order}.
4267
4268 For example, the STMicroelectronics STR912 chip has
4269 three separate TAPs@footnote{See the ST
4270 document titled: @emph{STR91xFAxxx, Section 3.15 Jtag Interface, Page:
4271 28/102, Figure 3: JTAG chaining inside the STR91xFA}.
4272 @url{http://eu.st.com/stonline/products/literature/ds/13495.pdf}}.
4273 To configure those taps, @file{target/str912.cfg}
4274 includes commands something like this:
4275
4276 @example
4277 jtag newtap str912 flash ... params ...
4278 jtag newtap str912 cpu ... params ...
4279 jtag newtap str912 bs ... params ...
4280 @end example
4281
4282 Actual config files typically use a variable such as @code{$_CHIPNAME}
4283 instead of literals like @option{str912}, to support more than one chip
4284 of each type. @xref{Config File Guidelines}.
4285
4286 @deffn {Command} {jtag names}
4287 Returns the names of all current TAPs in the scan chain.
4288 Use @command{jtag cget} or @command{jtag tapisenabled}
4289 to examine attributes and state of each TAP.
4290 @example
4291 foreach t [jtag names] @{
4292 puts [format "TAP: %s\n" $t]
4293 @}
4294 @end example
4295 @end deffn
4296
4297 @deffn {Command} {scan_chain}
4298 Displays the TAPs in the scan chain configuration,
4299 and their status.
4300 The set of TAPs listed by this command is fixed by
4301 exiting the OpenOCD configuration stage,
4302 but systems with a JTAG router can
4303 enable or disable TAPs dynamically.
4304 @end deffn
4305
4306 @c FIXME! "jtag cget" should be able to return all TAP
4307 @c attributes, like "$target_name cget" does for targets.
4308
4309 @c Probably want "jtag eventlist", and a "tap-reset" event
4310 @c (on entry to RESET state).
4311
4312 @section TAP Names
4313 @cindex dotted name
4314
4315 When TAP objects are declared with @command{jtag newtap},
4316 a @dfn{dotted.name} is created for the TAP, combining the
4317 name of a module (usually a chip) and a label for the TAP.
4318 For example: @code{xilinx.tap}, @code{str912.flash},
4319 @code{omap3530.jrc}, @code{dm6446.dsp}, or @code{stm32.cpu}.
4320 Many other commands use that dotted.name to manipulate or
4321 refer to the TAP. For example, CPU configuration uses the
4322 name, as does declaration of NAND or NOR flash banks.
4323
4324 The components of a dotted name should follow ``C'' symbol
4325 name rules: start with an alphabetic character, then numbers
4326 and underscores are OK; while others (including dots!) are not.
4327
4328 @section TAP Declaration Commands
4329
4330 @deffn {Config Command} {jtag newtap} chipname tapname configparams...
4331 Declares a new TAP with the dotted name @var{chipname}.@var{tapname},
4332 and configured according to the various @var{configparams}.
4333
4334 The @var{chipname} is a symbolic name for the chip.
4335 Conventionally target config files use @code{$_CHIPNAME},
4336 defaulting to the model name given by the chip vendor but
4337 overridable.
4338
4339 @cindex TAP naming convention
4340 The @var{tapname} reflects the role of that TAP,
4341 and should follow this convention:
4342
4343 @itemize @bullet
4344 @item @code{bs} -- For boundary scan if this is a separate TAP;
4345 @item @code{cpu} -- The main CPU of the chip, alternatively
4346 @code{arm} and @code{dsp} on chips with both ARM and DSP CPUs,
4347 @code{arm1} and @code{arm2} on chips with two ARMs, and so forth;
4348 @item @code{etb} -- For an embedded trace buffer (example: an ARM ETB11);
4349 @item @code{flash} -- If the chip has a flash TAP, like the str912;
4350 @item @code{jrc} -- For JTAG route controller (example: the ICEPick modules
4351 on many Texas Instruments chips, like the OMAP3530 on Beagleboards);
4352 @item @code{tap} -- Should be used only for FPGA- or CPLD-like devices
4353 with a single TAP;
4354 @item @code{unknownN} -- If you have no idea what the TAP is for (N is a number);
4355 @item @emph{when in doubt} -- Use the chip maker's name in their data sheet.
4356 For example, the Freescale i.MX31 has a SDMA (Smart DMA) with
4357 a JTAG TAP; that TAP should be named @code{sdma}.
4358 @end itemize
4359
4360 Every TAP requires at least the following @var{configparams}:
4361
4362 @itemize @bullet
4363 @item @code{-irlen} @var{NUMBER}
4364 @*The length in bits of the
4365 instruction register, such as 4 or 5 bits.
4366 @end itemize
4367
4368 A TAP may also provide optional @var{configparams}:
4369
4370 @itemize @bullet
4371 @item @code{-disable} (or @code{-enable})
4372 @*Use the @code{-disable} parameter to flag a TAP which is not
4373 linked into the scan chain after a reset using either TRST
4374 or the JTAG state machine's @sc{reset} state.
4375 You may use @code{-enable} to highlight the default state
4376 (the TAP is linked in).
4377 @xref{enablinganddisablingtaps,,Enabling and Disabling TAPs}.
4378 @item @code{-expected-id} @var{NUMBER}
4379 @*A non-zero @var{number} represents a 32-bit IDCODE
4380 which you expect to find when the scan chain is examined.

4384 Specify @var{number} as zero to suppress warnings about IDCODE
4385 values that were found but not included in the list.
4386
4387 Provide this value if at all possible, since it lets OpenOCD
4388 tell when the scan chain it sees isn't right. These values
4389 are provided in vendors' chip documentation, usually a technical
4390 reference manual. Sometimes you may need to probe the JTAG
4391 hardware to find these values.

4393 @item @code{-ignore-version}
4394 @*Specify this to ignore the JTAG version field in the @code{-expected-id}
4395 option. When vendors put out multiple versions of a chip, or use the same
4396 JTAG-level ID for several largely-compatible chips, it may be more practical
4397 to ignore the version field than to update config files to handle all of
4398 the various chip IDs. The version field is defined as bit 28-31 of the IDCODE.
4399 @item @code{-ignore-bypass}
4400 @*Specify this to ignore the 'bypass' bit of the idcode. Some vendor put
4401 an invalid idcode regarding this bit. Specify this to ignore this bit and

4404 @*The bit pattern loaded by the TAP into the JTAG shift register
4405 on entry to the @sc{ircapture} state, such as 0x01.
4406 JTAG requires the two LSBs of this value to be 01.
4407 By default, @code{-ircapture} and @code{-irmask} are set
4408 up to verify that two-bit value. You may provide
4409 additional bits if you know them, or indicate that
4410 a TAP doesn't conform to the JTAG specification.
4411 @item @code{-irmask} @var{NUMBER}
4412 @*A mask used with @code{-ircapture}
4413 to verify that instruction scans work correctly.
4414 Such scans are not used by OpenOCD except to verify that
4415 there seems to be no problems with JTAG scan chain operations.
4416 @item @code{-ignore-syspwrupack}
4417 @*Specify this to ignore the CSYSPWRUPACK bit in the ARM DAP DP CTRL/STAT
4418 register during initial examination and when checking the sticky error bit.

4434 (It is not a direct analogue of the @code{cget}/@code{configure}

4436 See the next section for information about the available events.
4437
4438 The @code{configure} subcommand assigns an event handler,
4439 a TCL string which is evaluated when the event is triggered.
4440 The @code{cget} subcommand returns that handler.
4441 @end deffn
4442
4443 @section TAP Events
4444 @cindex events
4445 @cindex TAP events
4446
4447 OpenOCD includes two event mechanisms.
4448 The one presented here applies to all JTAG TAPs.
4449 The other applies to debugger targets,
4450 which are associated with certain TAPs.
4451
4452 The TAP events currently defined are:
4453
4454 @itemize @bullet
4455 @item @b{post-reset}
4456 @* The TAP has just completed a JTAG reset.
4457 The tap may still be in the JTAG @sc{reset} state.
4458 Handlers for these events might perform initialization sequences
4459 such as issuing TCK cycles, TMS sequences to ensure
4460 exit from the ARM SWD mode, and more.
4461
4462 Because the scan chain has not yet been verified, handlers for these events
4463 @emph{should not issue commands which scan the JTAG IR or DR registers}
4464 of any particular target.
4465 @b{NOTE:} As this is written (September 2009), nothing prevents such access.
4466 @item @b{setup}
4467 @* The scan chain has been reset and verified.
4468 This handler may enable TAPs as needed.
4469 @item @b{tap-disable}
4470 @* The TAP needs to be disabled. This handler should
4471 implement @command{jtag tapdisable}
4472 by issuing the relevant JTAG commands.
4473 @item @b{tap-enable}
4474 @* The TAP needs to be enabled. This handler should
4475 implement @command{jtag tapenable}
4476 by issuing the relevant JTAG commands.
4477 @end itemize
4478
4479 If you need some action after each JTAG reset which isn't actually
4480 specific to any TAP (since you can't yet trust the scan chain's
4481 contents to be accurate), you might:
4482
4483 @example
4484 jtag configure CHIP.jrc -event post-reset @{
4485 echo "JTAG Reset done"
4486 ... non-scan jtag operations to be done after reset
4487 @}
4488 @end example
4489
4490
4491 @anchor{enablinganddisablingtaps}
4492 @section Enabling and Disabling TAPs
4493 @cindex JTAG Route Controller
4494 @cindex jrc
4495
4496 In some systems, a @dfn{JTAG Route Controller} (JRC)
4497 is used to enable and/or disable specific JTAG TAPs.
4498 Many ARM-based chips from Texas Instruments include
4499 an ``ICEPick'' module, which is a JRC.
4500 Such chips include DaVinci and OMAP3 processors.
4501
4502 A given TAP may not be visible until the JRC has been
4503 told to link it into the scan chain; and if the JRC
4504 has been told to unlink that TAP, it will no longer
4505 be visible.
4506 Such routers address problems that JTAG ``bypass mode''
4507 ignores, such as:
4508
4509 @itemize
4510 @item The scan chain can only go as fast as its slowest TAP.
4511 @item Having many TAPs slows instruction scans, since all
4512 TAPs receive new instructions.
4513 @item TAPs in the scan chain must be powered up, which wastes
4514 power and prevents debugging some power management mechanisms.
4515 @end itemize
4516
4517 The IEEE 1149.1 JTAG standard has no concept of a ``disabled'' tap,
4518 as implied by the existence of JTAG routers.
4519 However, the upcoming IEEE 1149.7 framework (layered on top of JTAG)
4520 does include a kind of JTAG router functionality.
4521
4522 @c (a) currently the event handlers don't seem to be able to
4523 @c fail in a way that could lead to no-change-of-state.
4524
4525 In OpenOCD, tap enabling/disabling is invoked by the Tcl commands
4526 shown below, and is implemented using TAP event handlers.
4527 So for example, when defining a TAP for a CPU connected to
4528 a JTAG router, your @file{target.cfg} file
4529 should define TAP event handlers using
4530 code that looks something like this:
4531
4532 @example
4533 jtag configure CHIP.cpu -event tap-enable @{
4534 ... jtag operations using CHIP.jrc
4535 @}
4536 jtag configure CHIP.cpu -event tap-disable @{
4537 ... jtag operations using CHIP.jrc
4538 @}
4539 @end example
4540
4541 Then you might want that CPU's TAP enabled almost all the time:
4542
4543 @example
4544 jtag configure $CHIP.jrc -event setup "jtag tapenable $CHIP.cpu"
4545 @end example
4546
4547 Note how that particular setup event handler declaration
4548 uses quotes to evaluate @code{$CHIP} when the event is configured.
4549 Using brackets @{ @} would cause it to be evaluated later,
4550 at runtime, when it might have a different value.
4551
4552 @deffn {Command} {jtag tapdisable} dotted.name
4553 If necessary, disables the tap
4554 by sending it a @option{tap-disable} event.
4555 Returns the string "1" if the tap
4556 specified by @var{dotted.name} is enabled,
4557 and "0" if it is disabled.
4558 @end deffn
4559
4560 @deffn {Command} {jtag tapenable} dotted.name
4561 If necessary, enables the tap
4562 by sending it a @option{tap-enable} event.
4563 Returns the string "1" if the tap
4564 specified by @var{dotted.name} is enabled,
4565 and "0" if it is disabled.
4566 @end deffn
4567
4568 @deffn {Command} {jtag tapisenabled} dotted.name
4569 Returns the string "1" if the tap
4570 specified by @var{dotted.name} is enabled,
4571 and "0" if it is disabled.
4572
4573 @quotation Note
4574 Humans will find the @command{scan_chain} command more helpful
4575 for querying the state of the JTAG taps.

4584 TAP configuration is the first thing that needs to be done
4585 after interface and reset configuration. Sometimes it's
4586 hard finding out what TAPs exist, or how they are identified.
4587 Vendor documentation is not always easy to find and use.
4588
4589 To help you get past such problems, OpenOCD has a limited
4590 @emph{autoprobing} ability to look at the scan chain, doing
4591 a @dfn{blind interrogation} and then reporting the TAPs it finds.
4592 To use this mechanism, start the OpenOCD server with only data
4593 that configures your JTAG interface, and arranges to come up
4594 with a slow clock (many devices don't support fast JTAG clocks
4595 right when they come out of reset).
4596
4597 For example, your @file{openocd.cfg} file might have:
4598
4599 @example
4600 source [find interface/olimex-arm-usb-tiny-h.cfg]
4601 reset_config trst_and_srst
4602 jtag_rclk 8
4603 @end example
4604
4605 When you start the server without any TAPs configured, it will
4606 attempt to autoconfigure the TAPs. There are two parts to this:
4607
4608 @enumerate
4609 @item @emph{TAP discovery} ...
4610 After a JTAG reset (sometimes a system reset may be needed too),
4611 each TAP's data registers will hold the contents of either the
4612 IDCODE or BYPASS register.
4613 If JTAG communication is working, OpenOCD will see each TAP,
4614 and report what @option{-expected-id} to use with it.
4615 @item @emph{IR Length discovery} ...
4616 Unfortunately JTAG does not provide a reliable way to find out
4617 the value of the @option{-irlen} parameter to use with a TAP
4618 that is discovered.
4619 If OpenOCD can discover the length of a TAP's instruction
4620 register, it will report it.
4621 Otherwise you may need to consult vendor documentation, such
4622 as chip data sheets or BSDL files.
4623 @end enumerate
4624
4625 In many cases your board will have a simple scan chain with just
4626 a single device. Here's what OpenOCD reported with one board
4627 that's a bit more complex:
4628
4629 @example
4630 clock speed 8 kHz
4631 There are no enabled taps. AUTO PROBING MIGHT NOT WORK!!
4632 AUTO auto0.tap - use "jtag newtap auto0 tap -expected-id 0x2b900f0f ..."
4633 AUTO auto1.tap - use "jtag newtap auto1 tap -expected-id 0x07926001 ..."
4634 AUTO auto2.tap - use "jtag newtap auto2 tap -expected-id 0x0b73b02f ..."
4635 AUTO auto0.tap - use "... -irlen 4"
4636 AUTO auto1.tap - use "... -irlen 4"
4637 AUTO auto2.tap - use "... -irlen 6"
4638 no gdb ports allocated as no target has been specified
4639 @end example
4640
4641 Given that information, you should be able to either find some existing
4642 config files to use, or create your own. If you create your own, you
4643 would configure from the bottom up: first a @file{target.cfg} file
4644 with these TAPs, any targets associated with them, and any on-chip
4645 resources; then a @file{board.cfg} with off-chip resources, clocking,
4646 and so forth.

4652 Since OpenOCD version 0.11.0, the Debug Access Port (DAP) is
4653 no longer implicitly created together with the target. It must be
4654 explicitly declared using the @command{dap create} command. For all ARMv6-M, ARMv7
4655 and ARMv8 targets, the option "@option{-dap} @var{dap_name}" has to be used
4656 instead of "@option{-chain-position} @var{dotted.name}" when the target is created.
4657
4658 The @command{dap} command group supports the following sub-commands:
4659
4660 @anchor{dap_create}
4661 @deffn {Command} {dap create} dap_name @option{-chain-position} dotted.name configparams...
4662 Declare a DAP instance named @var{dap_name} linked to the JTAG tap
4663 @var{dotted.name}. This also creates a new command (@command{dap_name})
4664 which is used for various purposes including additional configuration.
4665 There can only be one DAP for each JTAG tap in the system.
4666
4667 A DAP may also provide optional @var{configparams}:
4668
4669 @itemize @bullet

4671 Specify that it's an ADIv5 DAP. This is the default if not specified.
4672 @item @code{-adiv6}

4674 @item @code{-ignore-syspwrupack}
4675 Specify this to ignore the CSYSPWRUPACK bit in the ARM DAP DP CTRL/STAT
4676 register during initial examination and when checking the sticky error bit.
4677 This bit is normally checked after setting the CSYSPWRUPREQ bit, but some
4678 devices do not set the ack bit until sometime later.

4769 @end deffn
4770
4771 @deffn {Command} {$dap_name apcsw} [value [mask]]
4772 Displays or changes CSW bit pattern for MEM-AP transfers.
4773
4774 At the begin of each memory access the CSW pattern is extended (bitwise or-ed)
4775 by @dfn{Size} and @dfn{AddrInc} bit-fields according to transfer requirements
4776 and the result is written to the real CSW register. All bits except dynamically
4777 updated fields @dfn{Size} and @dfn{AddrInc} can be changed by changing
4778 the CSW pattern. Refer to ARM ADI v5 manual chapter 7.6.4 and appendix A
4779 for details.
4780
4781 Use @var{value} only syntax if you want to set the new CSW pattern as a whole.
4782 The example sets HPROT1 bit (required by Cortex-M) and clears the rest of
4783 the pattern:
4784 @example
4785 kx.dap apcsw 0x2000000
4786 @end example
4787
4788 If @var{mask} is also used, the CSW pattern is changed only on bit positions
4789 where the mask bit is 1. The following example sets HPROT3 (cacheable)
4790 and leaves the rest of the pattern intact. It configures memory access through
4791 DCache on Cortex-M7.
4792 @example
4793 set CSW_HPROT3_CACHEABLE [expr @{1 << 27@}]
4794 samv.dap apcsw $CSW_HPROT3_CACHEABLE $CSW_HPROT3_CACHEABLE
4795 @end example
4796
4797 Another example clears SPROT bit and leaves the rest of pattern intact:
4798 @example
4799 set CSW_SPROT [expr @{1 << 30@}]
4800 samv.dap apcsw 0 $CSW_SPROT
4801 @end example
4802
4803 @emph{Note:} If you want to check the real value of CSW, not CSW pattern, use
4804 @code{xxx.dap apreg 0}. @xref{DAP subcommand apreg,,}.
4805
4806 @emph{Warning:} Some of the CSW bits are vital for working memory transfer.
4807 If you set a wrong CSW pattern and MEM-AP stopped working, use the following
4808 example with a proper dap name:

4827
4828 This chapter discusses how to set up GDB debug targets for CPUs.
4829 You can also access these targets without GDB
4830 (@pxref{Architecture and Core Commands},
4831 and @ref{targetstatehandling,,Target State handling}) and
4832 through various kinds of NAND and NOR flash commands.
4833 If you have multiple CPUs you can have multiple such targets.
4834
4835 We'll start by looking at how to examine the targets you have,
4836 then look at how to add one more target and how to configure it.
4837
4838 @section Target List
4839 @cindex target, current
4840 @cindex target, list
4841
4842 All targets that have been set up are part of a list,
4843 where each member has a name.
4844 That name should normally be the same as the TAP name.
4845 You can display the list with the @command{targets}
4846 (plural!) command.
4847 This display often has only one CPU; here's what it might
4848 look like with more than one:
4849 @verbatim
4850 TargetName Type Endian TapName State
4851 -- ------------------ ---------- ------ ------------------ ------------
4852 0* at91rm9200.cpu arm920t little at91rm9200.cpu running
4853 1 MyTarget cortex_m little mychip.foo tap-disabled
4854 @end verbatim
4855
4856 One member of that list is the @dfn{current target}, which
4857 is implicitly referenced by many commands.
4858 It's the one marked with a @code{*} near the target name.
4859 In particular, memory addresses often refer to the address
4860 space seen by that current target.
4861 Commands like @command{mdw} (memory display words)
4862 and @command{flash erase_address} (erase NOR flash blocks)
4863 are examples; and there are many more.
4864
4865 Several commands let you examine the list of targets:
4866
4867 @deffn {Command} {target current}
4868 Returns the name of the current target.
4869 @end deffn
4870
4871 @deffn {Command} {target names}
4872 Lists the names of all current targets in the list.
4873 @example
4874 foreach t [target names] @{
4875 puts [format "Target: %s\n" $t]
4876 @}
4877 @end example
4878 @end deffn
4879
4880 @c yep, "target list" would have been better.
4881 @c plus maybe "target setdefault".
4882
4883 @deffn {Command} {targets} [name]
4884 @emph{Note: the name of this command is plural. Other target
4885 command names are singular.}
4886
4887 With no parameter, this command displays a table of all known
4888 targets in a user friendly form.
4889
4890 With a parameter, this command sets the current target to
4891 the given target with the given @var{name}; this is
4892 only relevant on boards which have more than one target.

4895 @section Target CPU Types
4896 @cindex target type
4897 @cindex CPU type
4898
4899 Each target has a @dfn{CPU type}, as shown in the output of
4900 the @command{targets} command. You need to specify that type
4901 when calling @command{target create}.
4902 The CPU type indicates more than just the instruction set.
4903 It also indicates how that instruction set is implemented,
4904 what kind of debug support it integrates,
4905 whether it has an MMU (and if so, what kind),
4906 what core-specific commands may be available
4907 (@pxref{Architecture and Core Commands}),
4908 and more.
4909
4910 It's easy to see what target types are supported,
4911 since there's a command to list them.
4912
4913 @anchor{targettypes}
4914 @deffn {Command} {target types}

4988 The CPU name used by OpenOCD will reflect the CPU design that was

4994
4995 @anchor{targetconfiguration}
4996 @section Target Configuration
4997
4998 Before creating a ``target'', you must have added its TAP to the scan chain.
4999 When you've added that TAP, you will have a @code{dotted.name}
5000 which is used to set up the CPU support.
5001 The chip-specific configuration file will normally configure its CPU(s)
5002 right after it adds all of the chip's TAPs to the scan chain.
5003
5004 Although you can set up a target in one step, it's often clearer if you
5005 use shorter commands and do it in two steps: create it, then configure
5006 optional parts.
5007 All operations on the target after it's created will use a new
5008 command, created as part of target creation.
5009
5010 The two main things to configure after target creation are
5011 a work area, which usually has target-specific defaults even
5012 if the board setup code overrides them later;
5013 and event handlers (@pxref{targetevents,,Target Events}), which tend
5014 to be much more board-specific.
5015 The key steps you use might look something like this
5016
5017 @example
5018 dap create mychip.dap -chain-position mychip.cpu
5019 target create MyTarget cortex_m -dap mychip.dap
5020 MyTarget configure -work-area-phys 0x08000 -work-area-size 8096
5021 MyTarget configure -event reset-deassert-pre @{ jtag_rclk 5 @}
5022 MyTarget configure -event reset-init @{ myboard_reinit @}
5023 @end example
5024
5025 You should specify a working area if you can; typically it uses some
5026 on-chip SRAM.
5027 Such a working area can speed up many things, including bulk
5028 writes to target memory;
5029 flash operations like checking to see if memory needs to be erased;
5030 GDB memory checksumming;
5031 and more.
5032
5033 @quotation Warning
5034 On more complex chips, the work area can become
5035 inaccessible when application code
5036 (such as an operating system)
5037 enables or disables the MMU.
5038 For example, the particular MMU context used to access the virtual
5039 address will probably matter ... and that context might not have
5040 easy access to other addresses needed.
5041 At this writing, OpenOCD doesn't have much MMU intelligence.
5042 @end quotation
5043
5044 It's often very useful to define a @code{reset-init} event handler.
5045 For systems that are normally used with a boot loader,
5046 common tasks include updating clocks and initializing memory
5047 controllers.
5048 That may be needed to let you write the boot loader into flash,
5049 in order to ``de-brick'' your board; or to load programs into
5050 external DDR memory without having run the boot loader.
5051
5052 @deffn {Config Command} {target create} target_name type configparams...
5053 This command creates a GDB debug target that refers to a specific JTAG tap.
5054 It enters that target into a list, and creates a new

5061 of the TAP associated with this target, which must be specified here
5062 using the @code{-chain-position @var{dotted.name}} configparam.
5063
5064 This name is also used to create the target object command,
5065 referred to here as @command{$target_name},
5066 and in other places the target needs to be identified.

5168 @section Other $target_name Commands
5169 @cindex object command
5170
5171 The Tcl/Tk language has the concept of object commands,
5172 and OpenOCD adopts that same model for targets.
5173
5174 A good Tk example is a on screen button.
5175 Once a button is created a button
5176 has a name (a path in Tk terms) and that name is useable as a first
5177 class command. For example in Tk, one can create a button and later
5178 configure it like this:
5179
5180 @example
5181 # Create
5182 button .foobar -background red -command @{ foo @}
5183 # Modify
5184 .foobar configure -foreground blue
5185 # Query
5186 set x [.foobar cget -background]
5187 # Report
5188 puts [format "The button is %s" $x]
5189 @end example
5190
5191 In OpenOCD's terms, the ``target'' is an object just like a Tcl/Tk
5192 button, and its object commands are invoked the same way.
5193
5194 @example
5195 str912.cpu mww 0x1234 0x42
5196 omap3530.cpu mww 0x5555 123
5197 @end example
5198
5199 The commands supported by OpenOCD target objects are:
5200
5201 @deffn {Command} {$target_name arp_examine} @option{allow-defer}
5202 @deffnx {Command} {$target_name arp_halt}
5203 @deffnx {Command} {$target_name arp_poll}
5204 @deffnx {Command} {$target_name arp_reset}
5205 @deffnx {Command} {$target_name arp_waitstate}
5206 Internal OpenOCD scripts (most notably @file{startup.tcl})
5207 use these to deal with specific reset cases.
5208 They are not otherwise documented here.
5209 @end deffn

5213
5214 @itemize
5215 @item @var{dict} ... Tcl dictionary with pairs of register names and values.
5216 @end itemize
5217
5218 For example, the following command sets the value 0 to the program counter (pc)
5219 register and 0x1000 to the stack pointer (sp) register:
5220
5221 @example
5222 set_reg @{pc 0 sp 0x1000@}
5223 @end example
5224 @end deffn
5225
5226 @deffn {Command} {$target_name get_reg} [-force] list
5227 Get register values from the target and return them as Tcl dictionary with pairs

5229 If option "-force" is set, the register values are read directly from the
5230 target, bypassing any caching.

5369 @section Target Events
5370 @cindex target events
5371 @cindex events
5372 At various times, certain things can happen, or you want them to happen.
5373 For example:
5374 @itemize @bullet
5375 @item What should happen when GDB connects? Should your target reset?
5376 @item When GDB tries to flash the target, do you need to enable the flash via a special command?
5377 @item Is using SRST appropriate (and possible) on your system?
5378 Or instead of that, do you need to issue JTAG commands to trigger reset?
5379 SRST usually resets everything on the scan chain, which can be inappropriate.
5380 @item During reset, do you need to write to certain memory locations
5381 to set up system clocks or
5382 to reconfigure the SDRAM?
5383 How about configuring the watchdog timer, or other peripherals,
5384 to stop running while you hold the core stopped for debugging?
5385 @end itemize
5386
5387 All of the above items can be addressed by target event handlers.
5388 These are set up by @command{$target_name configure -event} or
5389 @command{target create ... -event}.
5390
5391 The programmer's model matches the @code{-command} option used in Tcl/Tk
5392 buttons and events. The two examples below act the same, but one creates
5393 and invokes a small procedure while the other inlines it.
5394
5395 @example
5396 proc my_init_proc @{ @} @{
5397 echo "Disabling watchdog..."
5398 mww 0xfffffd44 0x00008000
5399 @}
5400 mychip.cpu configure -event reset-init my_init_proc
5401 mychip.cpu configure -event reset-init @{
5402 echo "Disabling watchdog..."
5403 mww 0xfffffd44 0x00008000
5404 @}
5405 @end example
5406
5407 The following target events are defined:
5408
5409 @itemize @bullet
5410 @item @b{debug-halted}
5411 @* The target has halted for debug reasons (i.e.: breakpoint)
5412 @item @b{debug-resumed}
5413 @* The target has resumed (i.e.: GDB said run)
5414 @item @b{early-halted}
5415 @* Occurs early in the halt process
5416 @item @b{examine-start}
5417 @* Before target examine is called.
5418 @item @b{examine-end}
5419 @* After target examine is called with no errors.
5420 @item @b{examine-fail}
5421 @* After target examine fails.
5422 @item @b{gdb-attach}
5423 @* When GDB connects. Issued before any GDB communication with the target
5424 starts. GDB expects the target is halted during attachment.
5425 @xref{gdbmeminspect,,GDB as a non-intrusive memory inspector}, how to
5426 connect GDB to running target.
5427 The event can be also used to set up the target so it is possible to probe flash.
5428 Probing flash is necessary during GDB connect if you want to use
5429 @pxref{programmingusinggdb,,programming using GDB}.
5430 Another use of the flash memory map is for GDB to automatically choose
5431 hardware or software breakpoints depending on whether the breakpoint
5432 is in RAM or read only memory.
5433 Default is @code{halt}
5434 @item @b{gdb-detach}
5435 @* When GDB disconnects
5436 @item @b{gdb-end}
5437 @* When the target has halted and GDB is not doing anything (see early halt)
5438 @item @b{gdb-flash-erase-start}
5439 @* Before the GDB flash process tries to erase the flash (default is
5440 @code{reset init})
5441 @item @b{gdb-flash-erase-end}
5442 @* After the GDB flash process has finished erasing the flash
5443 @item @b{gdb-flash-write-start}
5444 @* Before GDB writes to the flash
5445 @item @b{gdb-flash-write-end}
5446 @* After GDB writes to the flash (default is @code{reset halt})
5447 @item @b{gdb-start}
5448 @* Before the target steps, GDB is trying to start/resume the target
5449 @item @b{halted}
5450 @* The target has halted
5451 @item @b{reset-assert-pre}
5452 @* Issued as part of @command{reset} processing
5453 after @command{reset-start} was triggered
5454 but before either SRST alone is asserted on the scan chain,
5455 or @code{reset-assert} is triggered.
5456 @item @b{reset-assert}
5457 @* Issued as part of @command{reset} processing
5458 after @command{reset-assert-pre} was triggered.
5459 When such a handler is present, cores which support this event will use
5460 it instead of asserting SRST.
5461 This support is essential for debugging with JTAG interfaces which
5462 don't include an SRST line (JTAG doesn't require SRST), and for
5463 selective reset on scan chains that have multiple targets.
5464 @item @b{reset-assert-post}
5465 @* Issued as part of @command{reset} processing
5466 after @code{reset-assert} has been triggered.
5467 or the target asserted SRST on the entire scan chain.
5468 @item @b{reset-deassert-pre}
5469 @* Issued as part of @command{reset} processing
5470 after @code{reset-assert-post} has been triggered.
5471 @item @b{reset-deassert-post}
5472 @* Issued as part of @command{reset} processing
5473 after @code{reset-deassert-pre} has been triggered
5474 and (if the target is using it) after SRST has been
5475 released on the scan chain.
5476 @item @b{reset-end}
5477 @* Issued as the final step in @command{reset} processing.
5478 @item @b{reset-init}
5479 @* Used by @b{reset init} command for board-specific initialization.
5480 This event fires after @emph{reset-deassert-post}.
5481
5482 This is where you would configure PLLs and clocking, set up DRAM so
5483 you can download programs that don't fit in on-chip SRAM, set up pin
5484 multiplexing, and so on.
5485 (You may be able to switch to a fast JTAG clock rate here, after
5486 the target clocks are fully set up.)
5487 @item @b{reset-start}
5488 @* Issued as the first step in @command{reset} processing
5489 before @command{reset-assert-pre} is called.
5490
5491 This is the most robust place to use @command{jtag_rclk}
5492 or @command{adapter speed} to switch to a low JTAG clock rate,
5493 when reset disables PLLs needed to use a fast clock.
5494 @item @b{resume-start}
5495 @* Before any target is resumed
5496 @item @b{resume-end}
5497 @* After all targets have resumed
5498 @item @b{resumed}
5499 @* Target has resumed
5500 @item @b{step-start}

5524 @quotation Note
5525 OpenOCD events are not supposed to be preempt by another event, but this
5526 is not enforced in current code. Only the target event @b{resumed} is
5527 executed with polling disabled; this avoids polling to trigger the event
5528 @b{halted}, reversing the logical order of execution of their handlers.
5529 Future versions of OpenOCD will prevent the event preemption and will
5530 disable the schedule of polling during the event execution. Do not rely
5531 on polling in any event handler; this means, don't expect the status of
5532 a core to change during the execution of the handler. The event handler
5533 will have to enable polling or use @command{$target_name arp_poll} to
5534 check if the core has changed status.

5537 @node Flash Commands
5538 @chapter Flash Commands
5539
5540 OpenOCD has different commands for NOR and NAND flash;
5541 the ``flash'' command works with NOR flash, while
5542 the ``nand'' command works with NAND flash.
5543 This partially reflects different hardware technologies:
5544 NOR flash usually supports direct CPU instruction and data bus access,
5545 while data from a NAND flash must be copied to memory before it can be
5546 used. (SPI flash must also be copied to memory before use.)
5547 However, the documentation also uses ``flash'' as a generic term;
5548 for example, ``Put flash configuration in board-specific files''.
5549
5550 Flash Steps:
5551 @enumerate
5552 @item Configure via the command @command{flash bank}
5553 @* Do this in a board-specific configuration file,
5554 passing parameters as needed by the driver.
5555 @item Operate on the flash via @command{flash subcommand}
5556 @* Often commands to manipulate the flash are typed by a human, or run
5557 via a script in some automated way. Common tasks include writing a
5558 boot loader, operating system, or other data.
5559 @item GDB Flashing
5560 @* Flashing via GDB requires the flash be configured via ``flash
5561 bank'', and the GDB flash features be enabled.
5562 @xref{gdbconfiguration,,GDB Configuration}.
5563 @end enumerate
5564
5565 Many CPUs have the ability to ``boot'' from the first flash bank.
5566 This means that misprogramming that bank can ``brick'' a system,
5567 so that it can't boot.
5568 JTAG tools, like OpenOCD, are often then used to ``de-brick'' the
5569 board by (re)installing working boot firmware.

5576 Configures a flash bank which provides persistent storage

5578 These banks will often be visible to GDB through the target's memory map.

5653
5654 One feature distinguishing NOR flash from NAND or serial flash technologies
5655 is that for read access, it acts exactly like any other addressable memory.
5656 This means you can use normal memory read commands like @command{mdw} or
5657 @command{dump_image} with it, with no special @command{flash} subcommands.
5658 @xref{memoryaccess,,Memory access}, and @ref{imageaccess,,Image access}.
5659
5660 Write access works differently. Flash memory normally needs to be erased
5661 before it's written. Erasing a sector turns all of its bits to ones, and
5662 writing can turn ones into zeroes. This is why there are special commands
5663 for interactive erasing and writing, and why GDB needs to know which parts
5664 of the address space hold NOR flash memory.
5665
5666 @quotation Note
5667 Most of these erase and write commands leverage the fact that NOR flash
5668 chips consume target address space. They implicitly refer to the current
5669 JTAG target, and map from an address in that target's address space
5670 back to a flash bank.
5671 @comment In May 2009, those mappings may fail if any bank associated
5672 @comment with that target doesn't successfully autoprobe ... bug worth fixing?
5673 A few commands use abstract addressing based on bank and sector numbers,
5674 and don't depend on searching the current target and its address space.
5675 Avoid confusing the two command models.
5676 @end quotation
5677
5678 Some flash chips implement software protection against accidental writes,
5679 since such buggy writes could in some cases ``brick'' a system.
5680 For such systems, erasing and writing may require sector protection to be
5681 disabled first.
5682 Examples include CFI flash such as ``Intel Advanced Bootblock flash'',
5683 and AT91SAM7 on-chip flash.

5698 flash sector, and @math{address + length - 1} must end a sector.
5699 Specifying @option{pad} erases extra data at the beginning and/or
5700 end of the specified region, as needed to erase only full sectors.
5701 The flash bank to use is inferred from the @var{address}, and
5702 the specified length must stay within that bank.
5703 As a special case, when @var{length} is zero and @var{address} is

5765 to the base address for each section in the image.
5766 The file [@var{type}] can be specified
5767 explicitly as @option{bin} (binary), @option{ihex} (Intel hex),
5768 @option{elf} (ELF file), @option{s19} (Motorola s19).
5769 @option{mem}, or @option{builder}.
5770 The relevant flash sectors will be erased prior to programming
5771 if the @option{erase} parameter is given. If @option{unlock} is
5772 provided, then the flash banks are unlocked before erase and
5773 program. The flash bank to use is inferred from the address of
5774 each image section.
5775
5776 @quotation Warning
5777 Be careful using the @option{erase} flag when the flash is holding
5778 data you want to preserve.
5779 Portions of the flash outside those described in the image's
5780 sections might be erased with no notice.
5781 @itemize
5782 @item
5783 When a section of the image being written does not fill out all the
5784 sectors it uses, the unwritten parts of those sectors are necessarily
5785 also erased, because sectors can't be partially erased.
5786 @item
5787 Data stored in sector "holes" between image sections are also affected.
5788 For example, "@command{flash write_image erase ...}" of an image with
5789 one byte at the beginning of a flash bank and one byte at the end
5790 erases the entire bank -- not just the two sectors being written.
5791 @end itemize
5792 Also, when flash protection is important, you must re-apply it after
5793 it has been removed by the @option{unlock} flag.

5801 In contrast to the 'verify_image' command, for banks with specific

5885 @cindex Common Flash Interface
5886 @cindex CFI
5887 The ``Common Flash Interface'' (CFI) is the main standard for
5888 external NOR flash chips, each of which connects to a
5889 specific external chip select on the CPU.
5890 Frequently the first such chip is used to boot the system.
5891 Your board's @code{reset-init} handler might need to
5892 configure additional chip selects using other commands (like: @command{mww} to
5893 configure a bus and its timings), or
5894 perhaps configure a GPIO pin that controls the ``write protect'' pin
5895 on the flash chip.
5896 The CFI driver can use a target-specific working area to significantly
5897 speed up operation.
5898
5899 The CFI driver can accept the following optional parameters, in any order:
5900
5901 @itemize
5902 @item @var{jedec_probe} ... is used to detect certain non-CFI flash ROMs,
5903 like AM29LV010 and similar types.
5904 @item @var{x16_as_x8} ... when a 16-bit flash is hooked up to an 8-bit bus.
5905 @item @var{bus_swap} ... when data bytes in a 16-bit flash needs to be swapped.
5906 @item @var{data_swap} ... when data bytes in a 16-bit flash needs to be
5907 swapped when writing data values (i.e. not CFI commands).
5908 @end itemize
5909
5910 To configure two adjacent banks of 16 MBytes each, both sixteen bits (two bytes)
5911 wide on a sixteen bit bus:
5912
5913 @example
5914 flash bank $_FLASHNAME cfi 0x00000000 0x01000000 2 2 $_TARGETNAME

5918 To configure one bank of 32 MBytes
5919 built from two sixteen bit (two byte) wide parts wired in parallel
5920 to create a thirty-two bit (four byte) bus with doubled throughput:

5934 Several FPGAs and CPLDs can retrieve their configuration (bitstream) from a
5935 SPI flash connected to them. To access this flash from the host, the device
5936 is first programmed with a special proxy bitstream that
5937 exposes the SPI flash on the device's JTAG interface. The flash can then be
5938 accessed through JTAG.
5939
5940 Since signaling between JTAG and SPI is compatible, all that is required for
5941 a proxy bitstream is to connect TDI-MOSI, TDO-MISO, TCK-CLK and activate
5942 the flash chip select when the JTAG state machine is in SHIFT-DR. Such
5943 a bitstream for several Xilinx FPGAs can be found in
5944 @file{contrib/loaders/flash/fpga/xilinx_bscan_spi.py}. It requires
5945 @uref{https://github.com/m-labs/migen, migen} and a Xilinx toolchain to build.
5946
5947 This flash bank driver requires a target on a JTAG tap and will access that
5948 tap directly. Since no support from the target is needed, the target can be a
5949 "testee" dummy. Since the target does not expose the flash memory
5950 mapping, target commands that would otherwise be expected to access the flash
5951 will not work. These include all @command{*_image} and
5952 @command{$target_name m*} commands as well as @command{program}. Equivalent
5953 functionality is available through the @command{flash write_bank},
5954 @command{flash read_bank}, and @command{flash verify_bank} commands.
5955
5956 According to device size, 1- to 4-byte addresses are sent. However, some
5957 flash chips additionally have to be switched to 4-byte addresses by an extra
5958 command, see below.
5959

6050
6051 The lpcspifi driver initializes this interface and provides
6052 program and erase functionality for these serial flash devices.
6053 Use of this driver @b{requires} a working area of at least 1kB

6073 ``Serial Memory Interface'' (SMI) controller able to drive external
6074 SPI flash devices.
6075 Depending on specific device and board configuration, up to 4 external
6076 flash devices can be connected.
6077
6078 SMI makes the flash content directly accessible in the CPU address
6079 space; each external device is mapped in a memory bank.
6080 CPU can directly read data, execute code and boot from SMI banks.
6081 Normal OpenOCD commands like @command{mdw} can be used to display
6082 the flash content.
6083
6084 The setup command only requires the @var{base} parameter in order
6085 to identify the memory bank.
6086 All other parameters are ignored. Additional information, like
6087 flash size, are detected automatically.

6100 Some devices from STMicroelectronics include a proprietary ``QuadSPI Interface''
6101 (e.g. STM32F4, STM32F7, STM32L4) or ``OctoSPI Interface'' (e.g. STM32L4+)
6102 controller able to drive one or even two (dual mode) external SPI flash devices.
6103 The OctoSPI is a superset of QuadSPI, its presence is detected automatically.
6104 Currently only the regular command mode is supported, whereas the HyperFlash
6105 mode is not.
6106
6107 QuadSPI/OctoSPI makes the flash contents directly accessible in the CPU address
6108 space; in case of dual mode both devices must be of the same type and are
6109 mapped in the same memory bank (even and odd addresses interleaved).
6110 CPU can directly read data, execute code (but not boot) from QuadSPI bank.
6111
6112 The 'flash bank' command only requires the @var{base} parameter and the extra
6113 parameter @var{io_base} in order to identify the memory bank. Both are fixed
6114 by hardware, see datasheet or RM. All other parameters are ignored.
6115
6116 The controller must be initialized after each reset and properly configured
6117 for memory-mapped read operation for the particular flash chip(s), for the full
6118 list of available register settings cf. the controller's RM. This setup is quite
6119 board specific (that's why booting from this memory is not possible). The
6120 flash driver infers all parameters from current controller register values when
6121 'flash probe @var{bank_id}' is executed.
6122
6123 Normal OpenOCD commands like @command{mdw} can be used to display the flash content,
6124 but only after proper controller initialization as described above. However,
6125 due to a silicon bug in some devices, attempting to access the very last word
6126 should be avoided.
6127
6128 It is possible to use two (even different) flash chips alternatingly, if individual
6129 bank chip selects are available. For some package variants, this is not the case
6130 due to limited pin count. To switch from one to another, adjust FSEL bit accordingly
6131 and re-issue 'flash probe bank_id'. Note that the bank base address will @emph{not}
6132 change, so the address spaces of both devices will overlap. In dual flash mode
6133 both chips must be identical regarding size and most other properties.
6134
6135 Block or sector protection internal to the flash chip is not handled by this
6136 driver at all, but can be dealt with manually by the 'cmd' command, see below.
6137 The sector protection via 'flash protect' command etc. is completely internal to
6138 openocd, intended only to prevent accidental erase or overwrite and it does not
6139 persist across openocd invocations.
6140
6141 OpenOCD contains a hardcoded list of flash devices with their properties,
6142 these are auto-detected. If a device is not included in this list, SFDP discovery
6143 is attempted. If this fails or gives inappropriate results, manual setting is
6144 required (see 'set' command).
6145
6146 @example
6147 flash bank $_FLASHNAME stmqspi 0x90000000 0 0 0 \

6154 @deffn {Command} {stmqspi mass_erase} bank_id

6161 in bytes, @var{page_size} is write page size. @var{read_cmd}, @var{fread_cmd} and @var{pprg_cmd}
6162 are commands for reading and page programming. @var{fread_cmd} is used in DPI and QPI modes,
6163 @var{read_cmd} in normal SPI (single line) mode. @var{mass_erase_cmd}, @var{sector_size}
6164 and @var{sector_erase_cmd} are optional.
6165
6166 This command is required if chip id is not hardcoded yet and e.g. for EEPROMs or FRAMs
6167 which don't support an id command.
6168
6169 In dual mode parameters of both chips are set identically. The parameters refer to
6170 a single chip, so the whole bank gets twice the specified capacity etc.
6171 @end deffn
6172
6173 @deffn {Command} {stmqspi cmd} bank_id resp_num cmd_byte ...
6174 If @var{resp_num} is zero, sends command @var{cmd_byte} and following data
6175 bytes. In dual mode command byte is sent to @emph{both} chips but data bytes are
6176 sent @emph{alternatingly} to chip 1 and 2, first to flash 1, second to flash 2, etc.,
6177 i.e. the total number of bytes (including cmd_byte) must be odd.
6178
6179 If @var{resp_num} is not zero, cmd and at most four following data bytes are
6180 sent, in dual mode @emph{simultaneously} to both chips. Then @var{resp_num} bytes
6181 are read interleaved from both chips starting with chip 1. In this case
6182 @var{resp_num} must be even.
6183
6184 Note the hardware dictated subtle difference of those two cases in dual-flash mode.
6185
6186 To check basic communication settings, issue

6195 @end example
6196 for dual flash mode. This should return the status register contents.
6197
6198 In 8-line mode, @var{cmd_byte} is sent twice - first time as given, second time
6199 complemented. Additionally, in 8-line mode only, some commands (e.g. Read Status)
6200 need a dummy address, e.g.

6224 @cindex Atheros ath79 SPI driver
6225 @cindex ath79
6226 Members of ATH79 SoC family from Atheros include a SPI interface with 3
6227 chip selects.
6228 On reset a SPI flash connected to the first chip select (CS0) is made
6229 directly read-accessible in the CPU address space (up to 16MBytes)
6230 and is usually used to store the bootloader and operating system.
6231 Normal OpenOCD commands like @command{mdw} can be used to display
6232 the flash content while it is in memory-mapped mode (only the first
6233 4MBytes are accessible without additional configuration on reset).
6234
6235 The setup command only requires the @var{base} parameter in order
6236 to identify the memory bank. The actual value for the base address
6237 is not otherwise used by the driver. However the mapping is passed
6238 to gdb. Thus for the memory mapped flash (chipselect CS0) the base
6239 address should be the actual memory mapped base address. For unmapped
6240 chipselects (CS1 and CS2) care should be taken to use a base address
6241 that does not overlap with real memory regions.
6242 Additional information, like flash size, are detected automatically.
6243 An optional additional parameter sets the chipselect for the bank,
6244 with the default CS0.
6245 CS1 and CS2 require additional GPIO setup before they can be used
6246 since the alternate function must be enabled on the GPIO pin
6247 CS1/CS2 is routed to on the given SoC.
6248
6249 @example
6250 flash bank $_FLASHNAME ath79 0xbf000000 0 0 0 $_TARGETNAME
6251
6252 # When using multiple chipselects the base should be different
6253 # for each, otherwise the write_image command is not able to

6276 The ADUC702x analog microcontrollers from Analog Devices
6277 include internal flash and use ARM7TDMI cores.
6278 The aduc702x flash driver works with models ADUC7019 through ADUC7028.
6279 The setup command only requires the @var{target} argument
6280 since all devices in this family have the same memory layout.

6289 @cindex apollo
6290 All members of the Apollo microcontroller family from
6291 Ambiq Micro include internal flash and use ARM's Cortex-M4 core.
6292 The host connects over USB to an FTDI interface that communicates
6293 with the target using SWD.
6294
6295 The @var{ambiqmicro} driver reads the Chip Information Register detect
6296 the device class of the MCU.
6297 The Flash and SRAM sizes directly follow device class, and are used
6298 to set up the flash banks.
6299 If this fails, the driver will use default values set to the minimum
6300 sizes of an Apollo chip.
6301
6302 All Apollo chips have two flash banks of the same size.
6303 In all cases the first flash bank starts at location 0,
6304 and the second bank starts after the first.
6305
6306 @example
6307 # Flash bank 0
6308 flash bank $_FLASHNAME ambiqmicro 0 0x00040000 0 0 $_TARGETNAME
6309 # Flash bank 1 - same size as bank0, starts after bank 0.
6310 flash bank $_FLASHNAME ambiqmicro 0x00040000 0x00040000 0 0 \
6311 $_TARGETNAME
6312 @end example
6313
6314 Flash is programmed using custom entry points into the bootloader.
6315 This is the only way to program the flash as no flash control registers
6316 are available to the user.
6317
6318 The @var{ambiqmicro} driver adds some additional commands:
6319
6320 @deffn {Command} {ambiqmicro mass_erase} <bank>
6321 Erase entire bank.
6322 @end deffn
6323 @deffn {Command} {ambiqmicro page_erase} <bank> <first> <last>

6325 @end deffn
6326 @deffn {Command} {ambiqmicro program_otp} <bank> <offset> <count>
6327 Program OTP is a one time operation to create write protected flash.
6328 The user writes sectors to SRAM starting at 0x10000010.
6329 Program OTP will write these sectors from SRAM to flash, and write protect
6330 the flash.

6426 All members of the AT91SAM3 microcontroller family from
6427 Atmel include internal flash and use ARM's Cortex-M3 core. The driver
6428 currently (6/22/09) recognizes the AT91SAM3U[1/2/4][C/E] chips. Note
6429 that the driver was orginaly developed and tested using the
6430 AT91SAM3U4E, using a SAM3U-EK eval board. Support for other chips in
6431 the family was cribbed from the data sheet. @emph{Note to future

6434
6435 The AT91SAM3U4[E/C] (256K) chips have two flash banks; most other chips
6436 have one flash bank. In all cases the flash banks are at
6437 the following fixed locations:
6438

6440 # Flash bank 0 - all chips
6441 flash bank $_FLASHNAME at91sam3 0x00080000 0 1 1 $_TARGETNAME

6443 flash bank $_FLASHNAME at91sam3 0x00100000 0 1 1 $_TARGETNAME
6444 @end example
6445
6446 Internally, the AT91SAM3 flash memory is organized as follows.
6447 Unlike the AT91SAM7 chips, these are not used as parameters
6448 to the @command{flash bank} command:
6449
6450 @itemize

6694 All members of the EFM32/EFR32 microcontroller family from Energy Micro (now Silicon Labs)
6695 include internal flash and use Arm Cortex-M3 or Cortex-M4 cores. The driver automatically
6696 recognizes a number of these chips using the chip identification register, and
6697 autoconfigures itself.
6698 @example
6699 flash bank $_FLASHNAME efm32 0 0 0 0 $_TARGETNAME
6700 @end example
6701 It supports writing to the user data page, as well as the portion of the lockbits page
6702 past 512 bytes on chips with larger page sizes. The latter is used by the SiLabs
6703 bootloader/AppLoader system for encryption keys. Setting protection on these pages is
6704 currently not supported.
6705 @example
6706 flash bank userdata.flash efm32 0x0FE00000 0 0 0 $_TARGETNAME
6707 flash bank lockbits.flash efm32 0x0FE04000 0 0 0 $_TARGETNAME
6708 @end example
6709
6710 A special feature of efm32 controllers is that it is possible to completely disable the
6711 debug interface by writing the correct values to the 'Debug Lock Word'. OpenOCD supports
6712 this via the following command:
6713 @example
6714 efm32 debuglock num
6715 @end example
6716 The @var{num} parameter is a value shown by @command{flash banks}.
6717 Note that in order for this command to take effect, the target needs to be reset.

6719 supported.}

6722 @deffn {Flash Driver} {esirisc}
6723 Members of the eSi-RISC family may optionally include internal flash programmed
6724 via the eSi-TSMC Flash interface. Additional parameters are required to
6725 configure the driver: @option{cfg_address} is the base address of the
6726 configuration register interface, @option{clock_hz} is the expected clock
6727 frequency, and @option{wait_states} is the number of configured read wait states.

6758 All members of the FM4 microcontroller family from Spansion (formerly Fujitsu)
6759 include internal flash and use ARM Cortex-M4 cores.
6760 The @var{fm4} driver uses a @var{family} parameter to select the
6761 correct bank config, it can currently be one of the following:
6762 @code{MB9BFx64}, @code{MB9BFx65}, @code{MB9BFx66}, @code{MB9BFx67}, @code{MB9BFx68},
6763 @code{S6E2Cx8}, @code{S6E2Cx9}, @code{S6E2CxA} or @code{S6E2Dx},
6764 with @code{x} treated as wildcard and otherwise case (and any trailing

6779 Kx, KLx, KVx and KE1x members of the Kinetis microcontroller family
6780 from NXP (former Freescale) include
6781 internal flash and use ARM Cortex-M0+ or M4 cores. The driver automatically
6782 recognizes flash size and a number of flash banks (1-4) using the chip
6783 identification register, and autoconfigures itself.
6784 Use kinetis_ke driver for KE0x and KEAx devices.
6785
6786 The @var{kinetis} driver defines option:

6801 @deffn {Command} {kinetis fcf_source} [protection|write]
6802 Select what source is used when writing to a Flash Configuration Field.
6803 @option{protection} mode builds FCF content from protection bits previously
6804 set by 'flash protect' command.
6805 This mode is default. MCU is protected from unwanted locking by immediate
6806 writing FCF after erase of relevant sector.
6807 @option{write} mode enables direct write to FCF.
6808 Protection cannot be set by 'flash protect' command. FCF is written along
6809 with the rest of a flash image.

6908 LPC8Nxx and NHS31xx microcontroller families from NXP.
6909
6910 @quotation Note
6911 There are LPC2000 devices which are not supported by the @var{lpc2000}
6912 driver:
6913 The LPC2888 is supported by the @var{lpc288x} driver.
6914 The LPC29xx family is supported by the @var{lpc2900} driver.
6915 @end quotation
6916
6917 The @var{lpc2000} driver defines two mandatory and two optional parameters,
6918 which must appear in the following order:
6919
6920 @itemize
6921 @item @var{variant} ... required, may be
6922 @option{lpc2000_v1} (older LPC21xx and LPC22xx)
6923 @option{lpc2000_v2} (LPC213x, LPC214x, LPC210[123], LPC23xx and LPC24xx)
6924 @option{lpc1700} (LPC175x and LPC176x and LPC177x/8x)
6925 @option{lpc4300} - available also as @option{lpc1800} alias (LPC18x[2357] and
6926 LPC43x[2357])

6930 @option{lpc54100} (LPC541xx)
6931 @option{lpc4000} (LPC40xx)
6932 or @option{auto} - automatically detects flash variant and size for LPC11(x)00,
6933 LPC8xx, LPC13xx, LPC17xx, LPC40xx, LPC8Nxx and NHS31xx
6934 @item @var{clock_kHz} ... the frequency, in kiloHertz,
6935 at which the core is running
6936 @item @option{calc_checksum} ... optional (but you probably want to provide this!),
6937 telling the driver to calculate a valid checksum for the exception vector table.
6938 @quotation Note
6939 If you don't provide @option{calc_checksum} when you're writing the vector
6940 table, the boot ROM will almost certainly ignore your flash image.
6941 However, if you do provide it,
6942 with most tool chains @command{verify_image} will fail.
6943 @end quotation
6944 @item @option{iap_entry} ... optional telling the driver to use a different
6945 ROM IAP entry point.
6946 @end itemize
6947
6948 LPC flashes don't require the chip and bus width to be specified.
6949

6959 @end deffn
6960
6961 @deffn {Flash Driver} {lpc288x}
6962 The LPC2888 microcontroller from NXP needs slightly different flash
6963 support from its lpc2000 siblings.
6964 The @var{lpc288x} driver defines one mandatory parameter,
6965 the programming clock rate in Hz.
6966 LPC flashes don't require the chip and bus width to be specified.
6967
6968 @example
6969 flash bank $_FLASHNAME lpc288x 0 0 0 0 $_TARGETNAME 12000000
6970 @end example
6971 @end deffn
6972
6973 @deffn {Flash Driver} {lpc2900}
6974 This driver supports the LPC29xx ARM968E based microcontroller family
6975 from NXP.
6976
6977 The predefined parameters @var{base}, @var{size}, @var{chip_width} and
6978 @var{bus_width} of the @code{flash bank} command are ignored. Flash size and
6979 sector layout are auto-configured by the driver.
6980 The driver has one additional mandatory parameter: The CPU clock rate
6981 (in kHz) at the time the flash operations will take place. Most of the time this
6982 will not be the crystal frequency, but a higher PLL frequency. The
6983 @code{reset-init} event handler in the board script is usually the place where
6984 you start the PLL.
6985
6986 The driver rejects flashless devices (currently the LPC2930).
6987
6988 The EEPROM in LPC2900 devices is not mapped directly into the address space.
6989 It must be handled much more like NAND flash memory, and will therefore be
6990 handled by a separate @code{lpc2900_eeprom} driver (not yet available).
6991
6992 Sector protection in terms of the LPC2900 is handled transparently. Every time a
6993 sector needs to be erased or programmed, it is automatically unprotected.
6994 What is shown as protection status in the @code{flash info} command, is
6995 actually the LPC2900 @emph{sector security}. This is a mechanism to prevent a
6996 sector from ever being erased or programmed again. As this is an irreversible
6997 mechanism, it is handled by a special command (@code{lpc2900 secure_sector}),
6998 and not by the standard @code{flash protect} command.
6999
7000 Example for a 125 MHz clock frequency:
7001 @example
7002 flash bank $_FLASHNAME lpc2900 0 0 0 0 $_TARGETNAME 125000
7003 @end example
7004
7005 Some @code{lpc2900}-specific commands are defined. In the following command list,
7006 the @var{bank} parameter is the bank number as obtained by the
7007 @code{flash banks} command.
7008
7009 @deffn {Command} {lpc2900 signature} bank
7010 Calculates a 128-bit hash value, the @emph{signature}, from the whole flash
7011 content. This is a hardware feature of the flash block, hence the calculation is
7012 very fast. You may use this to verify the content of a programmed device against
7013 a known signature.
7014 Example:
7015 @example
7016 lpc2900 signature 0
7017 signature: 0x5f40cdc8:0xc64e592e:0x10490f89:0x32a0f317
7018 @end example
7019 @end deffn
7020
7021 @deffn {Command} {lpc2900 read_custom} bank filename
7022 Reads the 912 bytes of customer information from the flash index sector, and
7023 saves it to a file in binary format.
7024 Example:
7025 @example
7026 lpc2900 read_custom 0 /path_to/customer_info.bin
7027 @end example
7028 @end deffn
7029
7030 The index sector of the flash is a @emph{write-only} sector. It cannot be
7031 erased! In order to guard against unintentional write access, all following
7032 commands need to be preceded by a successful call to the @code{password}
7033 command:
7034
7035 @deffn {Command} {lpc2900 password} bank password
7036 You need to use this command right before each of the following commands:
7037 @code{lpc2900 write_custom}, @code{lpc2900 secure_sector},
7038 @code{lpc2900 secure_jtag}.
7039
7040 The password string is fixed to "I_know_what_I_am_doing".
7041 Example:
7042 @example
7043 lpc2900 password 0 I_know_what_I_am_doing
7044 Potentially dangerous operation allowed in next command!
7045 @end example
7046 @end deffn
7047
7048 @deffn {Command} {lpc2900 write_custom} bank filename type
7049 Writes the content of the file into the customer info space of the flash index
7050 sector. The filetype can be specified with the @var{type} field. Possible values
7051 for @var{type} are: @var{bin} (binary), @var{ihex} (Intel hex format),
7052 @var{elf} (ELF binary) or @var{s19} (Motorola S-records). The file must
7053 contain a single section, and the contained data length must be exactly
7054 912 bytes.

7160 This drivers handles the integrated NOR flash on NIIET Cortex-M4
7161 based controllers. Flash size and sector layout are auto-configured by the driver.
7162 Main flash memory is called "Bootflash" and has main region and info region.
7163 Info region is NOT memory mapped by default,
7164 but it can replace first part of main region if needed.
7165 Full erase, single and block writes are supported for both main and info regions.
7166 There is additional not memory mapped flash called "Userflash", which
7167 also have division into regions: main and info.
7168 Purpose of userflash - to store system and user settings.

7395 the same Flash/RAM/MMIO address space.
7396
7397 Flash in PSoC6 is split into three regions:
7398 @itemize @bullet
7399 @item Main Flash - this is the main storage for user application.
7400 Total size varies among devices, sector size: 256 kBytes, row size:
7401 512 bytes. Supports erase operation on individual rows.
7402 @item Work Flash - intended to be used as storage for user data
7403 (e.g. EEPROM emulation). Total size: 32 KBytes, sector size: 32 KBytes,
7404 row size: 512 bytes.
7405 @item Supervisory Flash - special region which contains device-specific
7406 service data. This region does not support erase operation. Only few rows can
7407 be programmed by the user, most of the rows are read only. Programming
7408 operation will erase row automatically.
7409 @end itemize
7410
7411 All three flash regions are supported by the driver. Flash geometry is detected
7412 automatically by parsing data in SPCIF_GEOMETRY register.

7811 The @var{num} parameter is a value shown by @command{flash banks}, @var{reg_offset}
7812 is the register offset of the Option byte to read.
7813
7814 For example to read the FLASH_OPTR register:
7815 @example
7816 stm32l4x option_read 0 0x20
7817 # Option Register (for STM32L4x): <0x40022020> = 0xffeff8aa
7818 # Option Register (for STM32WBx): <0x58004020> = ...
7819 # The correct flash base address will be used automatically
7820 @end example
7821
7822 The above example will read out the FLASH_OPTR register which contains the RDP
7823 option byte, Watchdog configuration, BOR level etc.
7824 @end deffn
7825
7826 @deffn {Command} {stm32l4x option_write} num reg_offset reg_mask
7827 Write an option byte register of the stm32l4x device.
7828 The @var{num} parameter is a value shown by @command{flash banks}, @var{reg_offset}
7829 is the register offset of the Option byte to write, and @var{reg_mask} is the mask
7830 to apply when writing the register (only bits with a '1' will be touched).
7831
7832 @emph{Note:} To apply the option bytes change immediately, use @command{stm32l4x option_load}.
7833
7834 For example to write the WRP1AR option bytes:
7835 @example
7836 stm32l4x option_write 0 0x28 0x00FF0000 0x00FF00FF
7837 @end example
7838
7839 The above example will write the WRP1AR option register configuring the Write protection
7840 Area A for bank 1. The above example set WRP1AR_END=255, WRP1AR_START=0.
7841 This will effectively write protect all sectors in flash bank 1.
7842 @end deffn
7843
7844 @deffn {Command} {stm32l4x wrp_info} num [device_bank]
7845 List the protected areas using WRP.
7846 The @var{num} parameter is a value shown by @command{flash banks}.
7847 @var{device_bank} parameter is optional, possible values 'bank1' or 'bank2',
7848 if not specified, the command will display the whole flash protected areas.
7849
7850 @b{Note:} @var{device_bank} is different from banks created using @code{flash bank}.
7851 Devices supported in this flash driver, can have main flash memory organized
7852 in single or dual-banks mode.
7853 Thus the usage of @var{device_bank} is meaningful only in dual-bank mode, to get
7854 write protected areas in a specific @var{device_bank}
7855
7856 @end deffn
7857
7858 @deffn {Command} {stm32l4x option_load} num

7916
7917 Only use this driver for locking/unlocking the device or configuring the option bytes.
7918 Use the standard str9 driver for programming.
7919 Before using the flash commands the turbo mode must be enabled using the
7920 @command{str9xpec enable_turbo} command.
7921
7922 Here is some background info to help
7923 you better understand how this driver works. OpenOCD has two flash drivers for
7924 the str9:
7925 @enumerate
7926 @item
7927 Standard driver @option{str9x} programmed via the str9 core. Normally used for
7928 flash programming as it is faster than the @option{str9xpec} driver.
7929 @item
7930 Direct programming @option{str9xpec} using the flash controller. This is an
7931 ISC compliant (IEEE 1532) tap connected in series with the str9 core. The str9
7932 core does not need to be running to program using this flash driver. Typical use
7933 for this driver is locking/unlocking the target and programming the option bytes.
7934 @end enumerate
7935
7936 Before we run any commands using the @option{str9xpec} driver we must first disable
7937 the str9 core. This example assumes the @option{str9xpec} driver has been
7938 configured for flash bank 0.
7939 @example
7940 # assert srst, we do not want core running
7941 # while accessing str9xpec flash driver
7942 adapter assert srst
7943 # turn off target polling
7944 poll off
7945 # disable str9 core
7946 str9xpec enable_turbo 0
7947 # read option bytes
7948 str9xpec options_read 0
7949 # re-enable str9 core
7950 str9xpec disable_turbo 0
7951 poll on
7952 reset halt
7953 @end example
7954 The above example will read the str9 option bytes.
7955 When performing a unlock remember that you will not be able to halt the str9 - it
7956 has been locked. Halting the core is not required for the @option{str9xpec} driver
7957 as mentioned above, just issue the commands above manually or from a telnet prompt.
7958
7959 Several str9xpec-specific commands are defined:
7960
7961 @deffn {Command} {str9xpec disable_turbo} num
7962 Restore the str9 into JTAG chain.
7963 @end deffn
7964

8086 NAND chips consist of a number of ``erase blocks'' of a given
8087 size (such as 128 KBytes), each of which is divided into a
8088 number of pages (of perhaps 512 or 2048 bytes each). Each
8089 page of a NAND flash has an ``out of band'' (OOB) area to hold
8090 Error Correcting Code (ECC) and other metadata, usually 16 bytes
8091 of OOB for every 512 bytes of page data.
8092
8093 One key characteristic of NAND flash is that its error rate
8094 is higher than that of NOR flash. In normal operation, that
8095 ECC is used to correct and detect errors. However, NAND
8096 blocks can also wear out and become unusable; those blocks
8097 are then marked "bad". NAND chips are even shipped from the
8098 manufacturer with a few bad blocks. The highest density chips
8099 use a technology (MLC) that wears out more quickly, so ECC
8100 support is increasingly important as a way to detect blocks
8101 that have begun to fail, and help to preserve data integrity
8102 with techniques such as wear leveling.
8103
8104 Software is used to manage the ECC. Some controllers don't
8105 support ECC directly; in those cases, software ECC is used.
8106 Other controllers speed up the ECC calculations with hardware.
8107 Single-bit error correction hardware is routine. Controllers
8108 geared for newer MLC chips may correct 4 or more errors for
8109 every 512 bytes of data.
8110
8111 You will need to make sure that any data you write using
8112 OpenOCD includes the appropriate kind of ECC. For example,
8113 that may mean passing the @code{oob_softecc} flag when
8114 writing NAND data, or ensuring that the correct hardware
8115 ECC mode is used.
8116
8117 The basic steps for using NAND devices include:
8118 @enumerate
8119 @item Declare via the command @command{nand device}
8120 @* Do this in a board-specific configuration file,
8121 passing parameters as needed by the controller.
8122 @item Configure each device using @command{nand probe}.
8123 @* Do this only after the associated target is set up,
8124 such as in its reset-init script or in procures defined
8125 to access that device.
8126 @item Operate on the flash via @command{nand subcommand}
8127 @* Often commands to manipulate the flash are typed by a human, or run
8128 via a script in some automated way. Common task include writing a
8129 boot loader, operating system, or other data needed to initialize or
8130 de-brick a board.
8131 @end enumerate
8132
8133 @b{NOTE:} At the time this text was written, the largest NAND
8134 flash fully supported by OpenOCD is 2 GiBytes (16 GiBits).
8135 This is because the variables used to hold offsets and lengths
8136 are only 32 bits wide.
8137 (Larger chips may work in some cases, unless an offset or length
8138 is larger than 0xffffffff, the largest 32-bit unsigned integer.)
8139 Some larger devices will work, since they are actually multi-chip
8140 modules with two smaller chips and individual chipselect lines.

8153 In OpenOCD, devices are single chips; this is unlike some
8154 operating systems, which may manage multiple chips as if
8155 they were a single (larger) device.
8156 In some cases, configuring a device will activate extra
8157 commands; see the controller-specific documentation.

8369
8370 This flag is cleared (disabled) by default, but changing that

8372 the underlying driver provides @code{read_page} or @code{write_page}
8373 methods. If it doesn't provide those methods, the setting of

8376 When those methods exist, they are normally used when reading
8377 data (@command{nand dump} or reading bad block markers) or
8378 writing it (@command{nand write}). However, enabling
8379 raw access (setting the flag) prevents use of those methods,

8511 or using the commands given in @ref{flashprogrammingcommands,,Flash Programming Commands}.
8512
8513 @*To simplify using the flash commands directly a jimtcl script is available that handles the programming and verify stage.
8514 OpenOCD will program/verify/reset the target and optionally shutdown.
8515
8516 The script is executed as follows and by default the following actions will be performed.
8517 @enumerate
8518 @item 'init' is executed.
8519 @item 'reset init' is called to reset and halt the target, any 'reset init' scripts are executed.
8520 @item @code{flash write_image} is called to erase and write any flash using the filename given.
8521 @item If the @option{preverify} parameter is given, the target is "verified" first and only flashed if this fails.
8522 @item @code{verify_image} is called if @option{verify} parameter is given.

8551 Accordingly, both are called PLDs here.
8552
8553 @section PLD/FPGA Configuration and Commands
8554
8555 As it does for JTAG TAPs, debug targets, and flash chips (both NOR and NAND),
8556 OpenOCD maintains a list of PLDs available for use in various commands.
8557 Also, each such PLD requires a driver.
8558
8559 They are referenced by the number shown by the @command{pld devices} command,
8560 and new PLDs are defined by @command{pld device driver_name}.
8561
8562 @deffn {Config Command} {pld device} driver_name tap_name [driver_options]
8563 Defines a new PLD device, supported by driver @var{driver_name},
8564 using the TAP named @var{tap_name}.
8565 The driver may make use of any @var{driver_options} to configure its
8566 behavior.

8573 @deffn {Command} {pld load} num filename
8574 Loads the file @file{filename} into the PLD identified by @var{num}.
8575 The file format must be inferred by the driver.
8576 @end deffn
8577
8578 @section PLD/FPGA Drivers, Options, and Commands
8579
8580 Drivers may support PLD-specific options to the @command{pld device}
8581 definition command, and may also define commands usable only with
8582 that particular type of PLD.
8583
8584 @deffn {FPGA Driver} {virtex2} [no_jstart]
8585 Virtex-II is a family of FPGAs sold by Xilinx.
8586 It supports the IEEE 1532 standard for In-System Configuration (ISC).
8587
8588 If @var{no_jstart} is non-zero, the JSTART instruction is not used after
8589 loading the bitstream. While required for Series2, Series3, and Series6, it
8590 breaks bitstream loading on Series7.
8591
8592 @deffn {Command} {virtex2 read_stat} num

8599 @chapter General Commands
8600 @cindex commands
8601
8602 The commands documented in this chapter here are common commands that
8603 you, as a human, may want to type and see the output of. Configuration type
8604 commands are documented elsewhere.
8605
8606 Intent:
8607 @itemize @bullet
8608 @item @b{Source Of Commands}
8609 @* OpenOCD commands can occur in a configuration script (discussed
8610 elsewhere) or typed manually by a human or supplied programmatically,
8611 or via one of several TCP/IP Ports.
8612
8613 @item @b{From the human}
8614 @* A human should interact with the telnet interface (default port: 4444)
8615 or via GDB (default port 3333).
8616
8617 To issue commands from within a GDB session, use the @option{monitor}
8618 command, e.g. use @option{monitor poll} to issue the @option{poll}
8619 command. All output is relayed through the GDB session.
8620
8621 @item @b{Machine Interface}
8622 The Tcl interface's intent is to be a machine interface. The default Tcl
8623 port is 5555.
8624 @end itemize

8627 @section Server Commands
8628
8629 @deffn {Command} {exit}
8630 Exits the current telnet session.
8631 @end deffn
8632
8633 @deffn {Command} {help} [string]
8634 With no parameters, prints help text for all commands.
8635 Otherwise, prints each helptext containing @var{string}.
8636 Not every command provides helptext.
8637
8638 Configuration commands, and commands valid at any time, are
8639 explicitly noted in parenthesis.
8640 In most cases, no such restriction is listed; this indicates commands
8641 which are only available after the configuration stage has completed.
8642 @end deffn
8643
8644 @deffn {Command} {usage} [string]
8645 With no parameters, prints usage text for all commands. Otherwise,
8646 prints all usage text of which command, help text, and usage text
8647 containing @var{string}.
8648 Not every command provides helptext.
8649 @end deffn
8650
8651 @deffn {Command} {sleep} msec [@option{busy}]
8652 Wait for at least @var{msec} milliseconds before resuming.
8653 If @option{busy} is passed, busy-wait instead of sleeping.
8654 (This option is strongly discouraged.)
8655 Useful in connection with script files
8656 (@command{script} command and @command{target_name} configuration).
8657 @end deffn
8658
8659 @deffn {Command} {shutdown} [@option{error}]
8660 Close the OpenOCD server, disconnecting all clients (GDB, telnet,
8661 other). If option @option{error} is used, OpenOCD will return a
8662 non-zero exit code to the parent process.
8663
8664 If user types CTRL-C or kills OpenOCD, the command @command{shutdown}
8665 will be automatically executed to cause OpenOCD to exit.
8666
8667 It is possible to specify, in the TCL list @var{pre_shutdown_commands} , a
8668 set of commands to be automatically executed before @command{shutdown} , e.g.:
8669 @example
8670 lappend pre_shutdown_commands @{echo "Goodbye, my friend ..."@}
8671 lappend pre_shutdown_commands @{echo "see you soon !"@}
8672 @end example
8673 The commands in the list will be executed (in the same order they occupy
8674 in the list) before OpenOCD exits. If one of the commands in the list
8675 fails, then the remaining commands are not executed anymore while OpenOCD
8676 will proceed to quit.

8679 @anchor{debuglevel}
8680 @deffn {Command} {debug_level} [n]
8681 @cindex message level
8682 Display debug level.
8683 If @var{n} (from 0..4) is provided, then set it to that level.
8684 This affects the kind of messages sent to the server log.
8685 Level 0 is error messages only;
8686 level 1 adds warnings;
8687 level 2 adds informational messages;
8688 level 3 adds debugging messages;
8689 and level 4 adds verbose low-level debug messages.
8690 The default is level 2, but that can be overridden on
8691 the command line along with the location of that log
8692 file (which is normally the server's standard output).

8713 @deffn {Config Command} {bindto} [@var{name}]
8714 Specify hostname or IPv4 address on which to listen for incoming
8715 TCP/IP connections. By default, OpenOCD will listen on the loopback
8716 interface only. If your network environment is safe, @code{bindto

8722 @cindex reset
8723 @cindex halt
8724 @cindex target initialization
8725
8726 In this section ``target'' refers to a CPU configured as
8727 shown earlier (@pxref{CPU Configuration}).
8728 These commands, like many, implicitly refer to
8729 a current target which is used to perform the
8730 various operations. The current target may be changed
8731 by using @command{targets} command with the name of the
8732 target which should become current.
8733
8734 @deffn {Command} {reg} [(number|name) [(value|'force')]]
8735 Access a single register by @var{number} or by its @var{name}.
8736 The target must generally be halted before access to CPU core
8737 registers is allowed. Depending on the hardware, some other
8738 registers may be accessible while the target is running.
8739
8740 @emph{With no arguments}:
8741 list all available registers for the current target,
8742 showing number, name, size, value, and cache status.
8743 For valid entries, a value is shown; valid entries
8744 which are also dirty (and will be written back later)
8745 are flagged as such.
8746
8747 @emph{With number/name}: display that register's value.
8748 Use @var{force} argument to read directly from the target,
8749 bypassing any internal cache.
8750
8751 @emph{With both number/name and value}: set register's value.
8752 Writes may be held in a writeback cache internal to OpenOCD,
8753 so that setting the value marks the register as dirty instead
8754 of immediately flushing that value. Resuming CPU execution
8755 (including by single stepping) or otherwise activating the
8756 relevant module will flush such values.
8757
8758 Cores may have surprisingly many registers in their
8759 Debug and trace infrastructure:
8760
8761 @example
8762 > reg
8763 ===== ARM registers
8764 (0) r0 (/32): 0x0000D3C2 (dirty)
8765 (1) r1 (/32): 0xFD61F31C
8766 (2) r2 (/32)

8775
8776 @itemize
8777 @item @var{dict} ... Tcl dictionary with pairs of register names and values.
8778 @end itemize
8779
8780 For example, the following command sets the value 0 to the program counter (pc)
8781 register and 0x1000 to the stack pointer (sp) register:
8782
8783 @example
8784 set_reg @{pc 0 sp 0x1000@}
8785 @end example
8786 @end deffn
8787
8788 @deffn {Command} {get_reg} [-force] list
8789 Get register values from the target and return them as Tcl dictionary with pairs
8790 of register names and values.
8791 If option "-force" is set, the register values are read directly from the
8792 target, bypassing any caching.
8793
8794 @itemize
8795 @item @var{list} ... List of register names
8796 @end itemize
8797
8798 For example, the following command retrieves the values from the program

8824
8825 @deffn {Command} {read_memory} address width count ['phys']
8826 This function provides an efficient way to read the target memory from a Tcl
8827 script.
8828 A Tcl list containing the requested memory elements is returned by this function.
8829
8830 @itemize
8831 @item @var{address} ... target memory address
8832 @item @var{width} ... memory access bit size, can be 8, 16, 32 or 64

8834 @item ['phys'] ... treat the memory address as physical instead of virtual address
8835 @end itemize
8836
8837 For example, the following command reads two 32 bit words from the target
8838 memory at address 0x20000000:
8839
8840 @example
8841 read_memory 0x20000000 32 2

8843 @end deffn
8844
8845 @deffn {Command} {halt} [ms]
8846 @deffnx {Command} {wait_halt} [ms]
8847 The @command{halt} command first sends a halt request to the target,
8848 which @command{wait_halt} doesn't.
8849 Otherwise these behave the same: wait up to @var{ms} milliseconds,
8850 or 5 seconds if there is no parameter, for the target to halt
8851 (and enter debug mode).
8852 Using 0 as the @var{ms} parameter prevents OpenOCD from waiting.
8853
8854 @quotation Warning
8855 On ARM cores, software using the @emph{wait for interrupt} operation
8856 often blocks the JTAG access needed by a @command{halt} command.
8857 This is because that operation also puts the core into a low
8858 power mode by gating the core clock;
8859 but the core clock is needed to detect JTAG clock transitions.
8860
8861 One partial workaround uses adaptive clocking: when the core is
8862 interrupted the operation completes, then JTAG clocks are accepted
8863 at least until the interrupt handler completes.
8864 However, this workaround is often unusable since the processor, board,
8865 and JTAG adapter must all support adaptive JTAG clocking.
8866 Also, it can't work until an interrupt is issued.
8867
8868 A more complete workaround is to not use that operation while you
8869 work with a JTAG debugger.
8870 Tasking environments generally have idle loops where the body is the
8871 @emph{wait for interrupt} operation.
8872 (On older cores, it is a coprocessor action;
8873 newer cores have a @option{wfi} instruction.)
8874 Such loops can just remove that operation, at the cost of higher
8875 power consumption (because the CPU is needlessly clocked).

8914 Requesting target halt and executing a soft reset. This is often used

8916 released begins to execute code. OpenOCD attempts to stop the CPU and
8917 then sets the program counter back to the reset vector. Unfortunately
8918 the code that was executed may have left the hardware in an unknown

8925 Without parameters returns current status of the signals.
8926 The @var{signal} parameter values may be
8927 @option{srst}, indicating that srst signal is to be asserted or deasserted,
8928 @option{trst}, indicating that trst signal is to be asserted or deasserted.
8929
8930 The @command{reset_config} command should already have been used
8931 to configure how the board and the adapter treat these two
8932 signals, and to say if either signal is even present.
8933 @xref{Reset Configuration}.
8934 Trying to assert a signal that is not present triggers an error.
8935 If a signal is present on the adapter and not specified in the command,
8936 the signal will not be modified.
8937
8938 @quotation Note
8939 TRST is specially handled.
8940 It actually signifies JTAG's @sc{reset} state.
8941 So if the board doesn't support the optional TRST signal,
8942 or it doesn't support it along with the specified SRST value,
8943 JTAG reset is triggered with TMS and TCK signals
8944 instead of the TRST signal.
8945 And no matter how that JTAG reset is triggered, once
8946 the scan chain enters @sc{reset} with TRST inactive,
8947 TAP @code{post-reset} events are delivered to all TAPs
8948 with handlers for that event.

9106 @section Real Time Transfer (RTT)
9107
9108 Real Time Transfer (RTT) is an interface specified by SEGGER based on basic
9109 memory reads and writes to transfer data bidirectionally between target and host.
9110 The specification is independent of the target architecture.
9111 Every target that supports so called "background memory access", which means
9112 that the target memory can be accessed by the debugger while the target is
9113 running, can be used.
9114 This interface is especially of interest for targets without
9115 Serial Wire Output (SWO), such as ARM Cortex-M0, or where semihosting is not
9116 applicable because of real-time constraints.
9117
9118 @quotation Note
9119 The current implementation supports only single target devices.
9120 @end quotation
9121
9122 The data transfer between host and target device is organized through
9123 unidirectional up/down-channels for target-to-host and host-to-target
9124 communication, respectively.
9125
9126 @quotation Note
9127 The current implementation does not respect channel buffer flags.
9128 They are used to determine what happens when writing to a full buffer, for
9129 example.
9130 @end quotation
9131
9132 Channels are exposed via raw TCP/IP connections. One or more RTT servers can be
9133 assigned to each channel to make them accessible to an unlimited number
9134 of TCP/IP connections.
9135
9136 @deffn {Command} {rtt setup} address size ID
9137 Configure RTT for the currently selected target.
9138 Once RTT is started, OpenOCD searches for a control block with the

9140 @var{size} bytes.
9141 @end deffn
9142

9186 @end example
9187
9188 In this example, OpenOCD searches the control block with the ID "SEGGER RTT"

9226 Most CPUs have specialized JTAG operations to support debugging.
9227 OpenOCD packages most such operations in its standard command framework.

9233 @cindex tracing
9234 @cindex ETM
9235 @cindex ETB
9236
9237 CPUs based on ARM cores may include standard tracing interfaces,
9238 based on an ``Embedded Trace Module'' (ETM) which sends voluminous
9239 address and data bus trace records to a ``Trace Port''.
9240
9241 @itemize
9242 @item
9243 Development-oriented boards will sometimes provide a high speed
9244 trace connector for collecting that data, when the particular CPU
9245 supports such an interface.
9246 (The standard connector is a 38-pin Mictor, with both JTAG
9247 and trace port support.)
9248 Those trace connectors are supported by higher end JTAG adapters
9249 and some logic analyzer modules; frequently those modules can
9250 buffer several megabytes of trace data.
9251 Configuring an ETM coupled to such an external trace port belongs
9252 in the board-specific configuration file.
9253 @item
9254 If the CPU doesn't provide an external interface, it probably
9255 has an ``Embedded Trace Buffer'' (ETB) on the chip, which is a
9256 dedicated SRAM. 4KBytes is one common ETB size.
9257 Configuring an ETM coupled only to an ETB belongs in the CPU-specific
9258 (target) configuration file, since it works the same on all boards.
9259 @end itemize
9260
9261 ETM support in OpenOCD doesn't seem to be widely used yet.
9262
9263 @quotation Issues
9264 ETM support may be buggy, and at least some @command{etm config}
9265 parameters should be detected by asking the ETM for them.
9266
9267 ETM trigger events could also implement a kind of complex
9268 hardware breakpoint, much more powerful than the simple
9269 watchpoint hardware exported by EmbeddedICE modules.
9270 @emph{Such breakpoints can be triggered even when using the
9271 dummy trace port driver}.
9272
9273 It seems like a GDB hookup should be possible,
9274 as well as tracing only during specific states
9275 (perhaps @emph{handling IRQ 23} or @emph{calls foo()}).
9276
9277 There should be GUI tools to manipulate saved trace data and help
9278 analyse it in conjunction with the source code.
9279 It's unclear how much of a common interface is shared
9280 with the current XScale trace support, or should be
9281 shared with eventual Nexus-style trace module support.
9282
9283 At this writing (November 2009) only ARM7, ARM9, and ARM11 support
9284 for ETM modules is available. The code should be able to
9285 work with some newer cores; but not all of them support
9286 this original style of JTAG access.
9287 @end quotation

9289 @subsection ETM Configuration
9290 ETM setup is coupled with the trace port driver configuration.

9292 @deffn {Config Command} {etm config} target width mode clocking driver
9293 Declares the ETM associated with @var{target}, and associates it
9294 with a given trace port @var{driver}. @xref{traceportdrivers,,Trace Port Drivers}.
9295
9296 Several of the parameters must reflect the trace port capabilities,
9297 which are a function of silicon capabilities (exposed later
9298 using @command{etm info}) and of what hardware is connected to
9299 that port (such as an external pod, or ETB).
9300 The @var{width} must be either 4, 8, or 16,
9301 except with ETMv3.0 and newer modules which may also
9302 support 1, 2, 24, 32, 48, and 64 bit widths.
9303 (With those versions, @command{etm info} also shows whether
9304 the selected port width and mode are supported.)
9305
9306 The @var{mode} must be @option{normal}, @option{multiplexed},
9307 or @option{demultiplexed}.
9308 The @var{clocking} must be @option{half} or @option{full}.
9309
9310 @quotation Warning
9311 With ETMv3.0 and newer, the bits set with the @var{mode} and
9312 @var{clocking} parameters both control the mode.
9313 This modified mode does not map to the values supported by
9314 previous ETM modules, so this syntax is subject to change.

9366 The default behaviour is @option{disable}.
9367 Any change takes effect after the next @command{etm start}.
9368
9369 By using script commands to configure ETM registers, you can make the

9374 @subsection ETM Trace Operation
9375
9376 After setting up the ETM, you can use it to collect data.
9377 That data can be exported to files for later analysis.
9378 It can also be parsed with OpenOCD, for basic sanity checking.
9379
9380 To configure what is being traced, you will need to write
9381 various trace registers using @command{reg ETM_*} commands.
9382 For the definitions of these registers, read ARM publication
9383 @emph{IHI 0014, ``Embedded Trace Macrocell, Architecture Specification''}.
9384 Be aware that most of the relevant registers are write-only,
9385 and that ETM resources are limited. There are only a handful
9386 of address comparators, data comparators, counters, and so on.
9387
9388 Examples of scenarios you might arrange to trace include:
9389
9390 @itemize
9391 @item Code flow within a function, @emph{excluding} subroutines
9392 it calls. Use address range comparators to enable tracing
9393 for instruction access within that function's body.
9394 @item Code flow within a function, @emph{including} subroutines
9395 it calls. Use the sequencer and address comparators to activate
9396 tracing on an ``entered function'' state, then deactivate it by
9397 exiting that state when the function's exit code is invoked.
9398 @item Code flow starting at the fifth invocation of a function,
9399 combining one of the above models with a counter.
9400 @item CPU data accesses to the registers for a particular device,
9401 using address range comparators and the ViewData logic.

9404 @item @emph{... more}
9405 @end itemize

9597
9598 Semihosting allows for code executing on an ARM target to use the
9599 I/O facilities on the host computer i.e. the system where OpenOCD
9600 is running. The target application must be linked against a library

9636 Enabling this option forwards semihosting I/O to GDB process using the

9644 Enable resumable SEMIHOSTING_SYS_EXIT.
9645
9646 When SEMIHOSTING_SYS_EXIT is called outside a debug session,
9647 things are simple, the openocd process calls exit() and passes
9648 the value returned by the target.
9649
9650 When SEMIHOSTING_SYS_EXIT is called during a debug session,
9651 by default execution returns to the debugger, leaving the
9652 debugger in a HALT state, similar to the state entered when
9653 encountering a break.
9654
9655 In some use cases, it is useful to have SEMIHOSTING_SYS_EXIT
9656 return normally, as any semihosting call, and do not break
9657 to the debugger.
9658 The standard allows this to happen, but the condition
9659 to trigger it is a bit obscure ("by performing an RDI_Execute
9660 request or equivalent").

9827
9828 @subsection XScale specific commands
9829 @cindex XScale
9830
9831 Some notes about the debug implementation on the XScale CPUs:
9832
9833 The XScale CPU provides a special debug-only mini-instruction cache
9834 (mini-IC) in which exception vectors and target-resident debug handler
9835 code are placed by OpenOCD. In order to get access to the CPU, OpenOCD
9836 must point vector 0 (the reset vector) to the entry of the debug
9837 handler. However, this means that the complete first cacheline in the
9838 mini-IC is marked valid, which makes the CPU fetch all exception
9839 handlers from the mini-IC, ignoring the code in RAM.
9840
9841 To address this situation, OpenOCD provides the @code{xscale
9842 vector_table} command, which allows the user to explicitly write
9843 individual entries to either the high or low vector table stored in
9844 the mini-IC.
9845
9846 It is recommended to place a pc-relative indirect branch in the vector
9847 table, and put the branch destination somewhere in memory. Doing so
9848 makes sure the code in the vector table stays constant regardless of
9849 code layout in memory:
9850 @example
9851 _vectors:
9852 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
9853 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
9854 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
9855 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
9856 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
9857 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
9858 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
9859 ldr pc,[pc,#0x100-8]
9860 .org 0x100
9861 .long real_reset_vector
9862 .long real_ui_handler
9863 .long real_swi_handler
9864 .long real_pf_abort
9865 .long real_data_abort
9866 .long 0 /* unused */
9867 .long real_irq_handler
9868 .long real_fiq_handler
9869 @end example
9870
9871 Alternatively, you may choose to keep some or all of the mini-IC
9872 vector table entries synced with those written to memory by your
9873 system software. The mini-IC can not be modified while the processor
9874 is executing, but for each vector table entry not previously defined
9875 using the @code{xscale vector_table} command, OpenOCD will copy the
9876 value from memory to the mini-IC every time execution resumes from a
9877 halt. This is done for both high and low vector tables (although the
9878 table not in use may not be mapped to valid memory, and in this case
9879 that copy operation will silently fail). This means that you will
9880 need to briefly halt execution at some strategic point during system
9881 start-up; e.g., after the software has initialized the vector table,
9882 but before exceptions are enabled. A breakpoint can be used to
9883 accomplish this once the appropriate location in the start-up code has
9884 been identified. A watchpoint over the vector table region is helpful
9885 in finding the location if you're not sure. Note that the same
9886 situation exists any time the vector table is modified by the system
9887 software.
9888
9889 The debug handler must be placed somewhere in the address space using
9890 the @code{xscale debug_handler} command. The allowed locations for the
9891 debug handler are either (0x800 - 0x1fef800) or (0xfe000800 -
9892 0xfffff800). The default value is 0xfe000800.
9893
9894 XScale has resources to support two hardware breakpoints and two
9895 watchpoints. However, the following restrictions on watchpoint
9896 functionality apply: (1) the value and mask arguments to the @code{wp}
9897 command are not supported, (2) the watchpoint length must be a
9898 power of two and not less than four, and can not be greater than the
9899 watchpoint address, and (3) a watchpoint with a length greater than
9900 four consumes all the watchpoint hardware resources. This means that
9901 at any one time, you can have enabled either two watchpoints with a
9902 length of four, or one watchpoint with a length greater than four.

10099
10100 ARM CoreSight provides several modules to generate debugging
10101 information internally (ITM, DWT and ETM). Their output is directed
10102 through TPIU or SWO modules to be captured externally either on an SWO pin (this
10103 configuration is called SWV) or on a synchronous parallel trace port.
10104
10105 ARM CoreSight provides independent HW blocks named TPIU and SWO each with its
10106 own functionality. Embedded in Cortex-M3 and M4, ARM provides an optional HW
10107 block that includes both TPIU and SWO functionalities and is again named TPIU,
10108 which causes quite some confusion.
10109 The registers map of all the TPIU and SWO implementations allows using a single
10110 driver that detects at runtime the features available.
10111
10112 The @command{tpiu} is used for either TPIU or SWO.
10113 A convenient alias @command{swo} is available to help distinguish, in scripts,
10114 the commands for SWO from the commands for TPIU.

10290 Control masking (disabling) interrupts during target step/resume.
10291
10292 The @option{auto} option handles interrupts during stepping in a way that they
10293 get served but don't disturb the program flow. The step command first allows
10294 pending interrupt handlers to execute, then disables interrupts and steps over
10295 the next instruction where the core was halted. After the step interrupts
10296 are enabled again. If the interrupt handlers don't complete within 500ms,
10297 the step command leaves with the core running.
10298
10299 The @option{steponly} option disables interrupts during single-stepping but
10300 enables them during normal execution. This can be used as a partial workaround
10301 for 702596 erratum in Cortex-M7 r0p1. See "Cortex-M7 (AT610) and Cortex-M7 with
10302 FPU (AT611) Software Developer Errata Notice" from ARM for further details.
10303
10304 Note that a free hardware (FPB) breakpoint is required for the @option{auto}
10305 option. If no breakpoint is available at the time of the step, then the step
10306 is taken with interrupts enabled, i.e. the same way the @option{off} option
10307 does.

10309 Default is @option{auto}.

10331 are mapped to HardFault.

10426 @subsection eSi-Trace Configuration
10427
10428 eSi-RISC targets may be configured with support for instruction tracing. Trace
10429 data may be written to an in-memory buffer or FIFO. If a FIFO is configured, DMA
10430 is typically employed to move trace data off-device using a high-speed
10431 peripheral (eg. SPI). Collected trace data is encoded in one of three different
10432 formats. At a minimum, @command{esirisc trace buffer} or @command{esirisc trace
10433 fifo} must be issued along with @command{esirisc trace format} before trace data
10434 can be collected.
10435
10436 OpenOCD provides rudimentary analysis of collected trace data. If more detail is
10437 needed, collected trace data can be dumped to a file and processed by external
10438 tooling.
10439
10440 @quotation Issues
10441 OpenOCD is unable to process trace data sent to a FIFO. A potential workaround
10442 for this issue is to configure DMA to copy trace data to an in-memory buffer,
10443 which can then be passed to the @command{esirisc trace analyze} and
10444 @command{esirisc trace dump} commands.
10445
10446 It is possible to corrupt trace data when using a FIFO if the peripheral
10447 responsible for draining data from the FIFO is not fast enough. This can be
10448 managed by enabling flow control, however this can impact timing-sensitive
10449 software operation on the CPU.

10655 @section RISC-V Architecture
10656
10657 @uref{http://riscv.org/, RISC-V} is a free and open ISA. OpenOCD supports JTAG
10658 debug of RV32 and RV64 cores in heterogeneous multicore systems of up to 32
10659 harts. (It's possible to increase this limit to 1024 by changing
10660 RISCV_MAX_HARTS in riscv.h.) OpenOCD primarily supports 0.13 of the RISC-V
10661 Debug Specification, but there is also support for legacy targets that
10662 implement version 0.11.
10663
10664 @subsection RISC-V Terminology
10665
10666 A @emph{hart} is a hardware thread. A hart may share resources (eg. FPU) with
10667 another hart, or may be a separate core. RISC-V treats those the same, and
10668 OpenOCD exposes each hart as a separate core.
10669
10670 @subsection Vector Registers
10671
10672 For harts that implement the vector extension, OpenOCD provides access to the
10673 relevant CSRs, as well as the vector registers (v0-v31). The size of each
10674 vector register is dependent on the value of vlenb. RISC-V allows each vector
10675 register to be divided into selected-width elements, and this division can be
10676 changed at run-time. Because OpenOCD cannot update register definitions at
10677 run-time, it exposes each vector register to gdb as a union of fields of
10678 vectors so that users can easily access individual bytes, shorts, words,
10679 longs, and quads inside each vector register. It is left to gdb or
10680 higher-level debuggers to present this data in a more intuitive format.
10681
10682 In the XML register description, the vector registers (when vlenb=16) look as
10683 follows:
10684
10685 @example
10686 <feature name="org.gnu.gdb.riscv.vector">
10687 <vector id="bytes" type="uint8" count="16"/>
10688 <vector id="shorts" type="uint16" count="8"/>
10689 <vector id="words" type="uint32" count="4"/>
10690 <vector id="longs" type="uint64" count="2"/>
10691 <vector id="quads" type="uint128" count="1"/>
10692 <union id="riscv_vector">
10693 <field name="b" type="bytes"/>
10694 <field name="s" type="shorts"/>
10695 <field name="w" type="words"/>
10696 <field name="l" type="longs"/>
10697 <field name="q" type="quads"/>
10698 </union>
10699 <reg name="v0" bitsize="128" regnum="4162" save-restore="no"
10700 type="riscv_vector" group="vector"/>
10701 ...
10702 <reg name="v31" bitsize="128" regnum="4193" save-restore="no"
10703 type="riscv_vector" group="vector"/>
10704 </feature>
10705 @end example
10706
10707 @subsection RISC-V Debug Configuration Commands
10708
10709 @deffn {Config Command} {riscv expose_csrs} n[-m|=name] [...]
10710 Configure which CSRs to expose in addition to the standard ones. The CSRs to expose
10711 can be specified as individual register numbers or register ranges (inclusive). For the
10712 individually listed CSRs, a human-readable name can optionally be set using the @code{n=name}
10713 syntax, which will get @code{csr_} prepended to it. If no name is provided, the register will be
10714 named @code{csr<n>}.
10715
10716 By default OpenOCD attempts to expose only CSRs that are mentioned in a spec,
10717 and then only if the corresponding extension appears to be implemented. This
10718 command can be used if OpenOCD gets this wrong, or if the target implements custom
10719 CSRs.
10720
10721 @example
10722 # Expose a single RISC-V CSR number 128 under the name "csr128":
10723 $_TARGETNAME expose_csrs 128
10724
10725 # Expose multiple RISC-V CSRs 128..132 under names "csr128" through "csr132":
10726 $_TARGETNAME expose_csrs 128-132
10727
10728 # Expose a single RISC-V CSR number 1996 under custom name "csr_myregister":
10729 $_TARGETNAME expose_csrs 1996=myregister
10730 @end example
10731 @end deffn
10732
10733 @deffn {Config Command} {riscv expose_custom} n[-m|=name] [...]
10734 The RISC-V Debug Specification allows targets to expose custom registers
10735 through abstract commands. (See Section 3.5.1.1 in that document.) This command
10736 configures individual registers or register ranges (inclusive) that shall be exposed.
10737 Number 0 indicates the first custom register, whose abstract command number is 0xc000.
10738 For individually listed registers, a human-readable name can be optionally provided
10739 using the @code{n=name} syntax, which will get @code{custom_} prepended to it. If no
10740 name is provided, the register will be named @code{custom<n>}.
10741
10742 @example
10743 # Expose one RISC-V custom register with number 0xc010 (0xc000 + 16)
10744 # under the name "custom16":
10745 $_TARGETNAME expose_custom 16
10746
10747 # Expose a range of RISC-V custom registers with numbers 0xc010 .. 0xc018
10748 # (0xc000+16 .. 0xc000+24) under the names "custom16" through "custom24":
10749 $_TARGETNAME expose_custom 16-24

10888 instructions. For the OpenOCD that mostly means that set of core and AUX
10889 registers in target will vary and is not fixed for a particular processor
10890 model. To enable extensibility several TCL commands are provided that allow to
10891 describe those optional registers in OpenOCD configuration files. Moreover
10892 those commands allow for a dynamic target features discovery.

10897 @deffn {Config Command} {arc add-reg} configparams
10898
10899 Add a new register to processor target. By default newly created register is
10900 marked as not existing. @var{configparams} must have following required
10901 arguments:
10902
10903 @itemize @bullet
10904
10905 @item @code{-name} name
10906 @*Name of a register.
10907
10908 @item @code{-num} number
10909 @*Architectural register number: core register number or AUX register number.

10912 @*Name of GDB XML target description feature.
10913

10916 @var{configparams} may have following optional arguments:
10917
10918 @itemize @bullet
10919
10920 @item @code{-gdbnum} number
10921 @*GDB register number. It is recommended to not assign GDB register number
10922 manually, because there would be a risk that two register will have same
10923 number. When register GDB number is not set with this option, then register
10924 will get a previous register number + 1. This option is required only for those
10925 registers that must be at particular address expected by GDB.
10926
10927 @item @code{-core}
10928 @*This option specifies that register is a core registers. If not - this is an
10929 AUX register. AUX registers and core registers reside in different address
10930 spaces.
10931
10932 @item @code{-bcr}
10933 @*This options specifies that register is a BCR register. BCR means Build
10934 Configuration Registers - this is a special type of AUX registers that are read
10935 only and non-volatile, that is - they never change their value. Therefore OpenOCD
10936 never invalidates values of those registers in internal caches. Because BCR is a
10937 type of AUX registers, this option cannot be used with @code{-core}.
10938
10939 @item @code{-type} type_name
10940 @*Name of type of this register. This can be either one of the basic GDB types,
10941 or a custom types described with @command{arc add-reg-type-[flags|struct]}.
10942
10943 @item @code{-g}
10944 @* If specified then this is a "general" register. General registers are always
10945 read by OpenOCD on context save (when core has just been halted) and is always
10946 transferred to GDB client in a response to g-packet. Contrary to this,
10947 non-general registers are read and sent to GDB client on-demand. In general it
10948 is not recommended to apply this option to custom registers.

11010 @section Xtensa Architecture
11011 Xtensa processors are based on a modular, highly flexible 32-bit RISC architecture
11012 that can easily scale from a tiny, cache-less controller or task engine to a high-performance
11013 SIMD/VLIW DSP provided by Cadence.
11014 @url{https://www.cadence.com/en_US/home/tools/ip/tensilica-ip/tensilica-xtensa-controllers-and-extensible-processors.html}.
11015
11016 OpenOCD supports generic Xtensa processors implementation which can be customized by
11017 simply providing vendor-specific core configuration which controls every configurable
11018 Xtensa architecture option, e.g. number of address registers, exceptions, reduced
11019 size instructions support, memory banks configuration etc. Also OpenOCD supports SMP
11020 configurations for Xtensa processors with any number of cores and allows to configure
11021 their debug signals interconnection (so-called "break/stall networks") which control how
11022 debug signals are distributed among cores. Xtensa "break networks" are compatible with
11023 ARM's Cross Trigger Interface (CTI). For debugging code on Xtensa chips OpenOCD
11024 uses JTAG protocol. Currently OpenOCD implements several Epsressif Xtensa-based chips of

11100 @cindex Linux-ARM DCC support
11101 @cindex tracing
11102 @cindex libdcc
11103 @cindex DCC
11104 OpenOCD can process certain requests from target software, when
11105 the target uses appropriate libraries.
11106 The most powerful mechanism is semihosting, but there is also
11107 a lighter weight mechanism using only the DCC channel.
11108
11109 Currently @command{target_request debugmsgs}
11110 is supported only for @option{arm7_9} and @option{cortex_m} cores.
11111 These messages are received as part of target polling, so
11112 you need to have @command{poll on} active to receive them.
11113 They are intrusive in that they will affect program execution
11114 times. If that is a problem, @pxref{armhardwaretracing,,ARM Hardware Tracing}.
11115
11116 See @file{libdcc} in the contrib dir for more details.
11117 In addition to sending strings, characters, and
11118 arrays of various size integers from the target,
11119 @file{libdcc} also exports a software trace point mechanism.
11120 The target being debugged may
11121 issue trace messages which include a 24-bit @dfn{trace point} number.
11122 Trace point support includes two distinct mechanisms,
11123 each supported by a command:
11124
11125 @itemize
11126 @item @emph{History} ... A circular buffer of trace points
11127 can be set up, and then displayed at any time.
11128 This tracks where code has been, which can be invaluable in
11129 finding out how some fault was triggered.
11130
11131 The buffer may overflow, since it collects records continuously.
11132 It may be useful to use some of the 24 bits to represent a
11133 particular event, and other bits to hold data.
11134
11135 @item @emph{Counting} ... An array of counters can be set up,
11136 and then displayed at any time.
11137 This can help establish code coverage and identify hot spots.
11138
11139 The array of counters is directly indexed by the trace point
11140 number, so trace points with higher numbers are not counted.
11141 @end itemize
11142
11143 Linux-ARM kernels have a ``Kernel low-level debugging
11144 via EmbeddedICE DCC channel'' option (CONFIG_DEBUG_ICEDCC,
11145 depends on CONFIG_DEBUG_LL) which uses this mechanism to
11146 deliver messages before a serial console can be activated.
11147 This is not the same format used by @file{libdcc}.
11148 Other software, such as the U-Boot boot loader, sometimes
11149 does the same thing.
11150
11151 @deffn {Command} {target_request debugmsgs} [@option{enable}|@option{disable}|@option{charmsg}]
11152 Displays current handling of target DCC message requests.
11153 These messages may be sent to the debugger while the target is running.
11154 The optional @option{enable} and @option{charmsg} parameters
11155 both enable the messages, while @option{disable} disables them.
11156
11157 With @option{charmsg} the DCC words each contain one character,
11158 as used by Linux with CONFIG_DEBUG_ICEDCC;
11159 otherwise the libdcc format is used.
11160 @end deffn
11161
11162 @deffn {Command} {trace history} [@option{clear}|count]
11163 With no parameter, displays all the trace points that have triggered
11164 in the order they triggered.
11165 With the parameter @option{clear}, erases all current trace history records.
11166 With a @var{count} parameter, allocates space for that many
11167 history records.
11168 @end deffn
11169
11170 @deffn {Command} {trace point} [@option{clear}|identifier]
11171 With no parameter, displays all trace point identifiers and how many times
11172 they have been triggered.
11173 With the parameter @option{clear}, erases all current trace point counters.
11174 With a numeric @var{identifier} parameter, creates a new a trace point counter
11175 and associates it with that identifier.
11176
11177 @emph{Important:} The identifier and the trace point number
11178 are not related except by this command.
11179 These trace point numbers always start at zero (from server startup,
11180 or after @command{trace point clear}) and count up from there.

11185 @chapter JTAG Commands
11186 @cindex JTAG Commands
11187 Most general purpose JTAG commands have been presented earlier.
11188 (@xref{jtagspeed,,JTAG Speed}, @ref{Reset Configuration}, and @ref{TAP Declaration}.)
11189 Lower level JTAG commands, as presented here,
11190 may be needed to work with targets which require special
11191 attention during operations such as reset or initialization.
11192
11193 To use these commands you will need to understand some
11194 of the basics of JTAG, including:
11195
11196 @itemize @bullet
11197 @item A JTAG scan chain consists of a sequence of individual TAP
11198 devices such as a CPUs.
11199 @item Control operations involve moving each TAP through the same
11200 standard state machine (in parallel)
11201 using their shared TMS and clock signals.
11202 @item Data transfer involves shifting data through the chain of
11203 instruction or data registers of each TAP, writing new register values
11204 while the reading previous ones.
11205 @item Data register sizes are a function of the instruction active in
11206 a given TAP, while instruction register sizes are fixed for each TAP.
11207 All TAPs support a BYPASS instruction with a single bit data register.
11208 @item The way OpenOCD differentiates between TAP devices is by
11209 shifting different instructions into (and out of) their instruction
11210 registers.
11211 @end itemize
11212
11213 @section Low Level JTAG Commands
11214
11215 These commands are used by developers who need to access
11216 JTAG instruction or data registers, possibly controlling
11217 the order of TAP state transitions.
11218 If you're not debugging OpenOCD internals, or bringing up a
11219 new JTAG adapter or a new type of TAP device (like a CPU or
11220 JTAG router), you probably won't need to use these commands.
11221 In a debug session that doesn't use JTAG for its transport protocol,
11222 these commands are not available.
11223
11224 @deffn {Command} {drscan} tap [numbits value]+ [@option{-endstate} tap_state]
11225 Loads the data register of @var{tap} with a series of bit fields
11226 that specify the entire register.
11227 Each field is @var{numbits} bits long with
11228 a numeric @var{value} (hexadecimal encouraged).
11229 The return value holds the original value of each
11230 of those fields.
11231
11232 For example, a 38 bit number might be specified as one
11233 field of 32 bits then one of 6 bits.
11234 @emph{For portability, never pass fields which are more
11235 than 32 bits long. Many OpenOCD implementations do not
11236 support 64-bit (or larger) integer values.}
11237
11238 All TAPs other than @var{tap} must be in BYPASS mode.
11239 The single bit in their data registers does not matter.
11240
11241 When @var{tap_state} is specified, the JTAG state machine is left
11242 in that state.
11243 For example @sc{drpause} might be specified, so that more
11244 instructions can be issued before re-entering the @sc{run/idle} state.
11245 If the end state is not specified, the @sc{run/idle} state is entered.
11246
11247 @quotation Warning
11248 OpenOCD does not record information about data register lengths,
11249 so @emph{it is important that you get the bit field lengths right}.
11250 Remember that different JTAG instructions refer to different
11251 data registers, which may have different lengths.
11252 Moreover, those lengths may not be fixed;
11253 the SCAN_N instruction can change the length of
11254 the register accessed by the INTEST instruction
11255 (by connecting a different scan chain).
11256 @end quotation
11257 @end deffn
11258
11259 @deffn {Command} {flush_count}
11260 Returns the number of times the JTAG queue has been flushed.
11261 This may be used for performance tuning.
11262
11263 For example, flushing a queue over USB involves a
11264 minimum latency, often several milliseconds, which does
11265 not change with the amount of data which is written.
11266 You may be able to identify performance problems by finding
11267 tasks which waste bandwidth by flushing small transfers too often,
11268 instead of batching them into larger operations.
11269 @end deffn
11270
11271 @deffn {Command} {irscan} [tap instruction]+ [@option{-endstate} tap_state]
11272 For each @var{tap} listed, loads the instruction register
11273 with its associated numeric @var{instruction}.
11274 (The number of bits in that instruction may be displayed
11275 using the @command{scan_chain} command.)
11276 For other TAPs, a BYPASS instruction is loaded.
11277
11278 When @var{tap_state} is specified, the JTAG state machine is left
11279 in that state.
11280 For example @sc{irpause} might be specified, so the data register
11281 can be loaded before re-entering the @sc{run/idle} state.
11282 If the end state is not specified, the @sc{run/idle} state is entered.
11283
11284 @quotation Note
11285 OpenOCD currently supports only a single field for instruction
11286 register values, unlike data register values.
11287 For TAPs where the instruction register length is more than 32 bits,
11288 portable scripts currently must issue only BYPASS instructions.

11295 Unless it is the only state given, this will often be the
11296 current state, so that no TCK transitions are needed.
11297 Then, in a series of single state transitions
11298 (conforming to the JTAG state machine) shift to
11299 each @var{next_state} in sequence, one per TCK cycle.

11421 The Xilinx Serial Vector Format, better known as @dfn{XSVF}, is a
11422 binary representation of SVF which is optimized for use with
11423 Xilinx devices.
11424 In a debug session using JTAG for its transport protocol,
11425 OpenOCD supports running such test files.
11426
11427 @quotation Important
11428 Not all XSVF commands are supported.
11429 @end quotation
11430
11431 @deffn {Command} {xsvf} (tapname|@option{plain}) filename [@option{virt2}] [@option{quiet}]
11432 This issues a JTAG reset (Test-Logic-Reset) and then
11433 runs the XSVF script from @file{filename}.
11434 When a @var{tapname} is specified, the commands are directed at
11435 that TAP.
11436 When @option{virt2} is specified, the @sc{xruntest} command counts
11437 are interpreted as TCK cycles instead of microseconds.
11438 Unless the @option{quiet} option is specified,
11439 messages are logged for comments and some retries.
11440 @end deffn
11441
11442 The OpenOCD sources also include two utility scripts
11443 for working with XSVF; they are not currently installed
11444 after building the software.
11445 You may find them useful:
11446
11447 @itemize
11448 @item @emph{svf2xsvf} ... converts SVF files into the extended XSVF
11449 syntax understood by the @command{xsvf} command; see notes below.
11450 @item @emph{xsvfdump} ... converts XSVF files into a text output format;
11451 understands the OpenOCD extensions.
11452 @end itemize
11453
11454 The input format accepts a handful of non-standard extensions.
11455 These include three opcodes corresponding to SVF extensions
11456 from Lattice Semiconductor (LCOUNT, LDELAY, LDSR), and
11457 two opcodes supporting a more accurate translation of SVF
11458 (XTRST, XWAITSTATE).
11459 If @emph{xsvfdump} shows a file is using those opcodes, it
11460 probably will not be usable with other XSVF tools.

11467 IPDBG is a set of tools to debug IP-Cores. It comprises, among others, a logic analyzer and an arbitrary
11468 waveform generator. These are synthesize-able hardware descriptions of
11469 logic circuits in addition to software for control, visualization and further analysis.
11470 In a session using JTAG for its transport protocol, OpenOCD supports the function
11471 of a JTAG-Host. The JTAG-Host is needed to connect the circuit over JTAG to the
11472 control-software. For more details see @url{http://ipdbg.org}.

11481 @item @option{-hub @var{ir_value}} states that the JTAG hub is
11482 reachable with dr-scans while the JTAG instruction register has the value @var{ir_value}.
11483 @item @option{-port @var{number}} tcp port number where the JTAG-Host is listening.
11484 @item @option{-tool @var{number}} number of the tool/feature. These corresponds to the ports "data_(up/down)_(0..6)" at the JtagHub.
11485 @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
11486 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
11487 access to the IPDBG-Hub. The value shifted into the vir is given by the first parameter @var{vir_value} (default: 0x11). The second
11488 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
11489 shift data through vir can be configured.

11511 @cindex RAM testing
11512
11513 There is often a need to stress-test random access memory (RAM) for
11514 errors. OpenOCD comes with a Tcl implementation of well-known memory
11515 testing procedures allowing the detection of all sorts of issues with
11516 electrical wiring, defective chips, PCB layout and other common
11517 hardware problems.
11518
11519 To use them, you usually need to initialise your RAM controller first;
11520 consult your SoC's documentation to get the recommended list of
11521 register operations and translate them to the corresponding
11522 @command{mww}/@command{mwb} commands.
11523
11524 Load the memory testing functions with
11525
11526 @example
11527 source [find tools/memtest.tcl]
11528 @end example
11529
11530 to get access to the following facilities:
11531

11564 @node GDB and OpenOCD
11565 @chapter GDB and OpenOCD
11566 @cindex GDB
11567 OpenOCD complies with the remote gdbserver protocol and, as such, can be used
11568 to debug remote targets.
11569 Setting up GDB to work with OpenOCD can involve several components:
11570
11571 @itemize
11572 @item The OpenOCD server support for GDB may need to be configured.
11573 @xref{gdbconfiguration,,GDB Configuration}.
11574 @item GDB's support for OpenOCD may need configuration,
11575 as shown in this chapter.
11576 @item If you have a GUI environment like Eclipse,
11577 that also will probably need to be configured.
11578 @end itemize
11579
11580 Of course, the version of GDB you use will need to be one which has
11581 been built to know about the target CPU you're using. It's probably
11582 part of the tool chain you're using. For example, if you are doing
11583 cross-development for ARM on an x86 PC, instead of using the native
11584 x86 @command{gdb} command you might use @command{arm-none-eabi-gdb}
11585 if that's the tool chain used to compile your code.
11586
11587 @section Connecting to GDB
11588 @cindex Connecting to GDB
11589 Use GDB 6.7 or newer with OpenOCD if you run into trouble. For
11590 instance GDB 6.3 has a known bug that produces bogus memory access
11591 errors, which has since been fixed; see
11592 @url{http://osdir.com/ml/gdb.bugs.discuss/2004-12/msg00018.html}
11593
11594 OpenOCD can communicate with GDB in two ways:
11595
11596 @enumerate
11597 @item
11598 A socket (TCP/IP) connection is typically started as follows:
11599 @example
11600 target extended-remote localhost:3333
11601 @end example
11602 This would cause GDB to connect to the gdbserver on the local pc using port 3333.
11603
11604 The extended remote protocol is a super-set of the remote protocol and should
11605 be the preferred choice. More details are available in GDB documentation
11606 @url{https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Connecting.html}
11607
11608 To speed-up typing, any GDB command can be abbreviated, including the extended
11609 remote command above that becomes:
11610 @example
11611 tar ext :3333
11612 @end example
11613
11614 @b{Note:} If any backward compatibility issue requires using the old remote
11615 protocol in place of the extended remote one, the former protocol is still
11616 available through the command:
11617 @example
11618 target remote localhost:3333
11619 @end example
11620
11621 @item
11622 A pipe connection is typically started as follows:
11623 @example
11624 target extended-remote | \
11625 openocd -c "gdb_port pipe; log_output openocd.log"
11626 @end example
11627 This would cause GDB to run OpenOCD and communicate using pipes (stdin/stdout).
11628 Using this method has the advantage of GDB starting/stopping OpenOCD for the debug
11629 session. log_output sends the log output to a file to ensure that the pipe is
11630 not saturated when using higher debug level outputs.
11631 @end enumerate
11632
11633 To list the available OpenOCD commands type @command{monitor help} on the
11634 GDB command line.
11635
11636 @section Sample GDB session startup
11637
11638 With the remote protocol, GDB sessions start a little differently
11639 than they do when you're debugging locally.
11640 Here's an example showing how to start a debug session with a
11641 small ARM program.
11642 In this case the program was linked to be loaded into SRAM on a Cortex-M3.
11643 Most programs would be written into flash (address 0) and run from there.
11644
11645 @example
11646 $ arm-none-eabi-gdb example.elf
11647 (gdb) target extended-remote localhost:3333
11648 Remote debugging using localhost:3333
11649 ...
11650 (gdb) monitor reset halt
11651 ...
11652 (gdb) load
11653 Loading section .vectors, size 0x100 lma 0x20000000
11654 Loading section .text, size 0x5a0 lma 0x20000100
11655 Loading section .data, size 0x18 lma 0x200006a0
11656 Start address 0x2000061c, load size 1720
11657 Transfer rate: 22 KB/sec, 573 bytes/write.
11658 (gdb) continue
11659 Continuing.
11660 ...
11661 @end example
11662
11663 You could then interrupt the GDB session to make the program break,
11664 type @command{where} to show the stack, @command{list} to show the
11665 code around the program counter, @command{step} through code,
11666 set breakpoints or watchpoints, and so on.
11667
11668 @section Configuring GDB for OpenOCD
11669
11670 OpenOCD supports the gdb @option{qSupported} packet, this enables information
11671 to be sent by the GDB remote server (i.e. OpenOCD) to GDB. Typical information includes
11672 packet size and the device's memory map.
11673 You do not need to configure the packet size by hand,
11674 and the relevant parts of the memory map should be automatically
11675 set up when you declare (NOR) flash banks.
11676
11677 However, there are other things which GDB can't currently query.
11678 You may need to set those up by hand.
11679 As OpenOCD starts up, you will often see a line reporting
11680 something like:
11681
11682 @example
11683 Info : lm3s.cpu: hardware has 6 breakpoints, 4 watchpoints
11684 @end example
11685
11686 You can pass that information to GDB with these commands:
11687
11688 @example
11689 set remote hardware-breakpoint-limit 6
11690 set remote hardware-watchpoint-limit 4
11691 @end example
11692
11693 With that particular hardware (Cortex-M3) the hardware breakpoints
11694 only work for code running from flash memory. Most other ARM systems
11695 do not have such restrictions.
11696
11697 Rather than typing such commands interactively, you may prefer to
11698 save them in a file and have GDB execute them as it starts, perhaps
11699 using a @file{.gdbinit} in your project directory or starting GDB
11700 using @command{gdb -x filename}.
11701
11702 @section Programming using GDB
11703 @cindex Programming using GDB
11704 @anchor{programmingusinggdb}
11705
11706 By default the target memory map is sent to GDB. This can be disabled by
11707 the following OpenOCD configuration option:
11708 @example
11709 gdb_memory_map disable
11710 @end example
11711 For this to function correctly a valid flash configuration must also be set
11712 in OpenOCD. For faster performance you should also configure a valid
11713 working area.
11714
11715 Informing GDB of the memory map of the target will enable GDB to protect any
11716 flash areas of the target and use hardware breakpoints by default. This means
11717 that the OpenOCD option @command{gdb_breakpoint_override} is not required when
11718 using a memory map. @xref{gdbbreakpointoverride,,gdb_breakpoint_override}.
11719
11720 To view the configured memory map in GDB, use the GDB command @option{info mem}.
11721 All other unassigned addresses within GDB are treated as RAM.
11722
11723 GDB 6.8 and higher set any memory area not in the memory map as inaccessible.
11724 This can be changed to the old behaviour by using the following GDB command
11725 @example
11726 set mem inaccessible-by-default off
11727 @end example
11728
11729 If @command{gdb_flash_program enable} is also used, GDB will be able to
11730 program any flash memory using the vFlash interface.
11731
11732 GDB will look at the target memory map when a load command is given, if any
11733 areas to be programmed lie within the target flash area the vFlash packets
11734 will be used.
11735
11736 If the target needs configuring before GDB programming, set target
11737 event gdb-flash-erase-start:
11738 @example
11739 $_TARGETNAME configure -event gdb-flash-erase-start BODY
11740 @end example
11741 @xref{targetevents,,Target Events}, for other GDB programming related events.
11742
11743 To verify any flash programming the GDB command @option{compare-sections}
11744 can be used.
11745
11746 @section Using GDB as a non-intrusive memory inspector
11747 @cindex Using GDB as a non-intrusive memory inspector
11748 @anchor{gdbmeminspect}
11749
11750 If your project controls more than a blinking LED, let's say a heavy industrial
11751 robot or an experimental nuclear reactor, stopping the controlling process
11752 just because you want to attach GDB is not a good option.
11753
11754 OpenOCD does not support GDB non-stop mode (might be implemented in the future).
11755 Though there is a possible setup where the target does not get stopped
11756 and GDB treats it as it were running.
11757 If the target supports background access to memory while it is running,
11758 you can use GDB in this mode to inspect memory (mainly global variables)
11759 without any intrusion of the target process.
11760
11761 Remove default setting of gdb-attach event. @xref{targetevents,,Target Events}.
11762 Place following command after target configuration:
11763 @example
11764 $_TARGETNAME configure -event gdb-attach @{@}
11765 @end example
11766
11767 If any of installed flash banks does not support probe on running target,
11768 switch off gdb_memory_map:
11769 @example
11770 gdb_memory_map disable
11771 @end example
11772
11773 Ensure GDB is configured without interrupt-on-connect.
11774 Some GDB versions set it by default, some does not.
11775 @example
11776 set remote interrupt-on-connect off
11777 @end example
11778
11779 If you switched gdb_memory_map off, you may want to setup GDB memory map
11780 manually or issue @command{set mem inaccessible-by-default off}
11781
11782 Now you can issue GDB command @command{target extended-remote ...} and inspect memory
11783 of a running target. Do not use GDB commands @command{continue},
11784 @command{step} or @command{next} as they synchronize GDB with your target
11785 and GDB would require stopping the target to get the prompt back.
11786
11787 Do not use this mode under an IDE like Eclipse as it caches values of
11788 previously shown variables.
11789
11790 It's also possible to connect more than one GDB to the same target by the
11791 target's configuration option @code{-gdb-max-connections}. This allows, for
11792 example, one GDB to run a script that continuously polls a set of variables
11793 while other GDB can be used interactively. Be extremely careful in this case,
11794 because the two GDB can easily get out-of-sync.

11799
11800 OpenOCD includes RTOS support, this will however need enabling as it defaults to disabled.
11801 It can be enabled by passing @option{-rtos} arg to the target. @xref{rtostype,,RTOS Type}.
11802
11803 @xref{Threads, Debugging Programs with Multiple Threads,
11804 Debugging Programs with Multiple Threads, gdb, GDB manual}, for details about relevant
11805 GDB commands.
11806
11807 @* An example setup is below:
11808
11809 @example
11810 $_TARGETNAME configure -rtos auto
11811 @end example
11812
11813 This will attempt to auto detect the RTOS within your application.
11814
11815 Currently supported rtos's include:
11816 @itemize @bullet
11817 @item @option{eCos}
11818 @item @option{ThreadX}
11819 @item @option{FreeRTOS}

11828 @item @option{Zephyr}
11829 @end itemize
11830
11831 At any time, it's possible to drop the selected RTOS using:
11832 @example
11833 $_TARGETNAME configure -rtos none
11834 @end example
11835
11836 Before an RTOS can be detected, it must export certain symbols; otherwise, it cannot
11837 be used by OpenOCD. Below is a list of the required symbols for each supported RTOS.
11838
11839 @table @code
11840 @item eCos symbols
11841 Cyg_Thread::thread_list, Cyg_Scheduler_Base::current_thread.

11868 @item Zephyr symbols
11869 _kernel, _kernel_openocd_offsets, _kernel_openocd_size_t_size
11870 @end table
11871
11872 For most RTOS supported the above symbols will be exported by default. However for
11873 some, eg. FreeRTOS, uC/OS-III and Zephyr, extra steps must be taken.
11874
11875 Zephyr must be compiled with the DEBUG_THREAD_INFO option. This will generate some symbols
11876 with information needed in order to build the list of threads.
11877
11878 FreeRTOS and uC/OS-III RTOSes may require additional OpenOCD-specific file to be linked

11890 @cindex SMP
11891 @cindex RTOS
11892 @cindex hwthread
11893 OpenOCD includes a pseudo RTOS called @emph{hwthread} that presents CPU cores
11894 ("hardware threads") in an SMP system as threads to GDB. With this extension,
11895 GDB can be used to inspect the state of an SMP system in a natural way.
11896 After halting the system, using the GDB command @command{info threads} will
11897 list the context of each active CPU core in the system. GDB's @command{thread}
11898 command can be used to switch the view to a different CPU core.
11899 The @command{step} and @command{stepi} commands can be used to step a specific core
11900 while other cores are free-running or remain halted, depending on the
11901 scheduler-locking mode configured in GDB.

11905 @cindex Tcl Scripting API
11906 @cindex Tcl scripts
11907 @section API rules
11908
11909 Tcl commands are stateless; e.g. the @command{telnet} command has
11910 a concept of currently active target, the Tcl API proc's take this sort
11911 of state information as an argument to each proc.
11912
11913 There are three main types of return values: single value, name value
11914 pair list and lists.
11915
11916 Name value pair. The proc 'foo' below returns a name/value pair
11917 list.
11918
11919 @example
11920 > set foo(me) Duane
11921 > set foo(you) Oyvind
11922 > set foo(mouse) Micky
11923 > set foo(duck) Donald
11924 @end example
11925
11926 If one does this:
11927
11928 @example
11929 > set foo
11930 @end example
11931
11932 The result is:
11933
11934 @example
11935 me Duane you Oyvind mouse Micky duck Donald
11936 @end example
11937
11938 Thus, to get the names of the associative array is easy:
11939
11940 @verbatim
11941 foreach { name value } [set foo] {
11942 puts "Name: $name, Value: $value"
11943 }
11944 @end verbatim
11945
11946 Lists returned should be relatively small. Otherwise, a range
11947 should be passed in to the proc in question.
11948
11949 @section Internal low-level Commands
11950
11951 By "low-level", we mean commands that a human would typically not
11952 invoke directly.
11953
11954 @itemize
11955 @item @b{flash banks} <@var{driver}> <@var{base}> <@var{size}> <@var{chip_width}> <@var{bus_width}> <@var{target}> [@option{driver options} ...]
11956
11957 Return information about the flash banks
11958
11959 @item @b{capture} <@var{command}>
11960
11961 Run <@var{command}> and return full log output that was produced during
11962 its execution. Example:
11963
11964 @example
11965 > capture "reset init"
11966 @end example
11967
11968 @end itemize
11969
11970 OpenOCD commands can consist of two words, e.g. "flash banks". The
11971 @file{startup.tcl} "unknown" proc will translate this into a Tcl proc
11972 called "flash_banks".
11973
11974 @section Tcl RPC server
11975 @cindex RPC
11976
11977 OpenOCD provides a simple RPC server that allows to run arbitrary Tcl
11978 commands and receive the results.
11979
11980 To access it, your application needs to connect to a configured TCP port
11981 (see @command{tcl_port}). Then it can pass any string to the
11982 interpreter terminating it with @code{0x1a} and wait for the return
11983 value (it will be terminated with @code{0x1a} as well). This can be
11984 repeated as many times as desired without reopening the connection.
11985
11986 It is not needed anymore to prefix the OpenOCD commands with
11987 @code{ocd_} to get the results back. But sometimes you might need the
11988 @command{capture} command.
11989
11990 See @file{contrib/rpc_examples/} for specific client implementations.
11991
11992 @section Tcl RPC server notifications

11995 Notifications are sent asynchronously to other commands being executed over
11996 the RPC server, so the port must be polled continuously.

11999 in the following format.

12041 @item @b{RTCK, also known as: Adaptive Clocking - What is it?}
12042 @cindex RTCK
12043 @cindex adaptive clocking
12044 @*
12045
12046 In digital circuit design it is often referred to as ``clock
12047 synchronisation'' the JTAG interface uses one clock (TCK or TCLK)
12048 operating at some speed, your CPU target is operating at another.
12049 The two clocks are not synchronised, they are ``asynchronous''
12050
12051 In order for the two to work together they must be synchronised
12052 well enough to work; JTAG can't go ten times faster than the CPU,
12053 for example. There are 2 basic options:
12054 @enumerate
12055 @item
12056 Use a special "adaptive clocking" circuit to change the JTAG
12057 clock rate to match what the CPU currently supports.
12058 @item
12059 The JTAG clock must be fixed at some speed that's enough slower than
12060 the CPU clock that all TMS and TDI transitions can be detected.
12061 @end enumerate
12062
12063 @b{Does this really matter?} For some chips and some situations, this
12064 is a non-issue, like a 500MHz ARM926 with a 5 MHz JTAG link;
12065 the CPU has no difficulty keeping up with JTAG.
12066 Startup sequences are often problematic though, as are other
12067 situations where the CPU clock rate changes (perhaps to save
12068 power).
12069
12070 For example, Atmel AT91SAM chips start operation from reset with
12071 a 32kHz system clock. Boot firmware may activate the main oscillator
12072 and PLL before switching to a faster clock (perhaps that 500 MHz
12073 ARM926 scenario).
12074 If you're using JTAG to debug that startup sequence, you must slow
12075 the JTAG clock to sometimes 1 to 4kHz. After startup completes,
12076 JTAG can use a faster clock.
12077
12078 Consider also debugging a 500MHz ARM926 hand held battery powered
12079 device that enters a low power ``deep sleep'' mode, at 32kHz CPU
12080 clock, between keystrokes unless it has work to do. When would
12081 that 5 MHz JTAG clock be usable?
12082
12083 @b{Solution #1 - A special circuit}
12084
12085 In order to make use of this,
12086 your CPU, board, and JTAG adapter must all support the RTCK
12087 feature. Not all of them support this; keep reading!
12088
12089 The RTCK ("Return TCK") signal in some ARM chips is used to help with
12090 this problem. ARM has a good description of the problem described at
12091 this link: @url{http://www.arm.com/support/faqdev/4170.html} [checked
12092 28/nov/2008]. Link title: ``How does the JTAG synchronisation logic
12093 work? / how does adaptive clocking work?''.
12094
12095 The nice thing about adaptive clocking is that ``battery powered hand
12096 held device example'' - the adaptiveness works perfectly all the
12097 time. One can set a break point or halt the system in the deep power
12098 down code, slow step out until the system speeds up.
12099
12100 Note that adaptive clocking may also need to work at the board level,
12101 when a board-level scan chain has multiple chips.
12102 Parallel clock voting schemes are good way to implement this,
12103 both within and between chips, and can easily be implemented
12104 with a CPLD.
12105 It's not difficult to have logic fan a module's input TCK signal out
12106 to each TAP in the scan chain, and then wait until each TAP's RTCK comes
12107 back with the right polarity before changing the output RTCK signal.
12108 Texas Instruments makes some clock voting logic available
12109 for free (with no support) in VHDL form; see
12110 @url{http://tiexpressdsp.com/index.php/Adaptive_Clocking}
12111
12112 @b{Solution #2 - Always works - but may be slower}
12113
12114 Often this is a perfectly acceptable solution.
12115
12116 In most simple terms: Often the JTAG clock must be 1/10 to 1/12 of
12117 the target clock speed. But what that ``magic division'' is varies
12118 depending on the chips on your board.
12119 @b{ARM rule of thumb} Most ARM based systems require an 6:1 division;
12120 ARM11 cores use an 8:1 division.
12121 @b{Xilinx rule of thumb} is 1/12 the clock speed.
12122
12123 Note: most full speed FT2232 based JTAG adapters are limited to a
12124 maximum of 6MHz. The ones using USB high speed chips (FT2232H)
12125 often support faster clock rates (and adaptive clocking).
12126
12127 You can still debug the 'low power' situations - you just need to
12128 either use a fixed and very slow JTAG clock rate ... or else
12129 manually adjust the clock speed at every step. (Adjusting is painful
12130 and tedious, and is not always practical.)
12131
12132 It is however easy to ``code your way around it'' - i.e.: Cheat a little,
12133 have a special debug mode in your application that does a ``high power
12134 sleep''. If you are careful - 98% of your problems can be debugged
12135 this way.
12136
12137 Note that on ARM you may need to avoid using the @emph{wait for interrupt}
12138 operation in your idle loops even if you don't otherwise change the CPU
12139 clock rate.
12140 That operation gates the CPU clock, and thus the JTAG clock; which
12141 prevents JTAG access. One consequence is not being able to @command{halt}
12142 cores which are executing that @emph{wait for interrupt} operation.
12143
12144 To set the JTAG frequency use the command:
12145
12146 @example
12147 # Example: 1.234MHz
12148 adapter speed 1234
12149 @end example
12150
12151
12152 @item @b{Win32 Pathnames} Why don't backslashes work in Windows paths?
12153
12154 OpenOCD uses Tcl and a backslash is an escape char. Use @{ and @}
12155 around Windows filenames.
12156
12157 @example
12158 > echo \a
12159
12160 > echo @{\a@}
12161 \a
12162 > echo "\a"
12163
12164 >
12165 @end example
12166
12167
12168 @item @b{Missing: cygwin1.dll} OpenOCD complains about a missing cygwin1.dll.
12169
12170 Make sure you have Cygwin installed, or at least a version of OpenOCD that
12171 claims to come with all the necessary DLLs. When using Cygwin, try launching
12172 OpenOCD from the Cygwin shell.
12173
12174 @item @b{Breakpoint Issue} I'm trying to set a breakpoint using GDB (or a front-end like Insight or
12175 Eclipse), but OpenOCD complains that "Info: arm7_9_common.c:213
12176 arm7_9_add_breakpoint(): sw breakpoint requested, but software breakpoints not enabled".
12177
12178 GDB issues software breakpoints when a normal breakpoint is requested, or to implement
12179 source-line single-stepping. On ARMv4T systems, like ARM7TDMI, ARM720T or ARM920T,
12180 software breakpoints consume one of the two available hardware breakpoints.
12181
12182 @item @b{LPC2000 Flash} When erasing or writing LPC2000 on-chip flash, the operation fails at random.
12183
12184 Make sure the core frequency specified in the @option{flash lpc2000} line matches the
12185 clock at the time you're programming the flash. If you've specified the crystal's
12186 frequency, make sure the PLL is disabled. If you've specified the full core speed
12187 (e.g. 60MHz), make sure the PLL is enabled.
12188
12189 @item @b{Amontec Chameleon} When debugging using an Amontec Chameleon in its JTAG Accelerator configuration,
12190 I keep getting "Error: amt_jtagaccel.c:184 amt_wait_scan_busy(): amt_jtagaccel timed
12191 out while waiting for end of scan, rtck was disabled".
12192
12193 Make sure your PC's parallel port operates in EPP mode. You might have to try several
12194 settings in your PC BIOS (ECP, EPP, and different versions of those).
12195
12196 @item @b{Data Aborts} When debugging with OpenOCD and GDB (plain GDB, Insight, or Eclipse),
12197 I get lots of "Error: arm7_9_common.c:1771 arm7_9_read_memory():
12198 memory read caused data abort".
12199
12200 The errors are non-fatal, and are the result of GDB trying to trace stack frames
12201 beyond the last valid frame. It might be possible to prevent this by setting up
12202 a proper "initial" stack frame, if you happen to know what exactly has to
12203 be done, feel free to add this here.
12204
12205 @b{Simple:} In your startup code - push 8 registers of zeros onto the
12206 stack before calling main(). What GDB is doing is ``climbing'' the run
12207 time stack by reading various values on the stack using the standard
12208 call frame for the target. GDB keeps going - until one of 2 things
12209 happen @b{#1} an invalid frame is found, or @b{#2} some huge number of
12210 stackframes have been processed. By pushing zeros on the stack, GDB
12211 gracefully stops.
12212
12213 @b{Debugging Interrupt Service Routines} - In your ISR before you call
12214 your C code, do the same - artificially push some zeros onto the stack,
12215 remember to pop them off when the ISR is done.
12216
12217 @b{Also note:} If you have a multi-threaded operating system, they
12218 often do not @b{in the interest of saving memory} waste these few
12219 bytes. Painful...
12220
12221
12222 @item @b{JTAG Reset Config} I get the following message in the OpenOCD console (or log file):
12223 "Warning: arm7_9_common.c:679 arm7_9_assert_reset(): srst resets test logic, too".
12224
12225 This warning doesn't indicate any serious problem, as long as you don't want to
12226 debug your core right out of reset. Your .cfg file specified @option{reset_config
12227 trst_and_srst srst_pulls_trst} to tell OpenOCD that either your board,
12228 your debugger or your target uC (e.g. LPC2000) can't assert the two reset signals
12229 independently. With this setup, it's not possible to halt the core right out of
12230 reset, everything else should work fine.
12231
12232 @item @b{USB Power} When using OpenOCD in conjunction with Amontec JTAGkey and the Yagarto
12233 toolchain (Eclipse, arm-elf-gcc, arm-elf-gdb), the debugging seems to be
12234 unstable. When single-stepping over large blocks of code, GDB and OpenOCD
12235 quit with an error message. Is there a stability issue with OpenOCD?
12236
12237 No, this is not a stability issue concerning OpenOCD. Most users have solved
12238 this issue by simply using a self-powered USB hub, which they connect their
12239 Amontec JTAGkey to. Apparently, some computers do not provide a USB power
12240 supply stable enough for the Amontec JTAGkey to be operated.
12241
12242 @b{Laptops running on battery have this problem too...}
12243
12244 @item @b{GDB Disconnects} When using the Amontec JTAGkey, sometimes OpenOCD crashes with the following
12245 error message: "Error: gdb_server.c:101 gdb_get_char(): read: 10054".
12246 What does that mean and what might be the reason for this?
12247
12248 Error code 10054 corresponds to WSAECONNRESET, which means that the debugger (GDB)
12249 has closed the connection to OpenOCD. This might be a GDB issue.
12250
12251 @item @b{LPC2000 Flash} In the configuration file in the section where flash device configurations
12252 are described, there is a parameter for specifying the clock frequency
12253 for LPC2000 internal flash devices (e.g. @option{flash bank $_FLASHNAME lpc2000
12254 0x0 0x40000 0 0 $_TARGETNAME lpc2000_v1 14746 calc_checksum}), which must be
12255 specified in kilohertz. However, I do have a quartz crystal of a
12256 frequency that contains fractions of kilohertz (e.g. 14,745,600 Hz,
12257 i.e. 14,745.600 kHz). Is it possible to specify real numbers for the
12258 clock frequency?
12259
12260 No. The clock frequency specified here must be given as an integral number.
12261 However, this clock frequency is used by the In-Application-Programming (IAP)
12262 routines of the LPC2000 family only, which seems to be very tolerant concerning
12263 the given clock frequency, so a slight difference between the specified clock
12264 frequency and the actual clock frequency will not cause any trouble.
12265
12266 @item @b{Command Order} Do I have to keep a specific order for the commands in the configuration file?
12267
12268 Well, yes and no. Commands can be given in arbitrary order, yet the
12269 devices listed for the JTAG scan chain must be given in the right
12270 order (jtag newdevice), with the device closest to the TDO-Pin being
12271 listed first. In general, whenever objects of the same type exist
12272 which require an index number, then these objects must be given in the
12273 right order (jtag newtap, targets and flash banks - a target
12274 references a jtag newtap and a flash bank references a target).
12275
12276 You can use the ``scan_chain'' command to verify and display the tap order.
12277
12278 Also, some commands can't execute until after @command{init} has been
12279 processed. Such commands include @command{nand probe} and everything
12280 else that needs to write to controller registers, perhaps for setting
12281 up DRAM and loading it with code.
12282
12283 @anchor{faqtaporder}
12284 @item @b{JTAG TAP Order} Do I have to declare the TAPS in some
12285 particular order?
12286
12287 Yes; whenever you have more than one, you must declare them in
12288 the same order used by the hardware.
12289
12290 Many newer devices have multiple JTAG TAPs. For example:
12291 STMicroelectronics STM32 chips have two TAPs, a ``boundary scan TAP'' and
12292 ``Cortex-M3'' TAP. Example: The STM32 reference manual, Document ID:
12293 RM0008, Section 26.5, Figure 259, page 651/681, the ``TDI'' pin is
12294 connected to the boundary scan TAP, which then connects to the
12295 Cortex-M3 TAP, which then connects to the TDO pin.
12296
12297 Thus, the proper order for the STM32 chip is: (1) The Cortex-M3, then
12298 (2) The boundary scan TAP. If your board includes an additional JTAG
12299 chip in the scan chain (for example a Xilinx CPLD or FPGA) you could
12300 place it before or after the STM32 chip in the chain. For example:
12301
12302 @itemize @bullet
12303 @item OpenOCD_TDI(output) -> STM32 TDI Pin (BS Input)
12304 @item STM32 BS TDO (output) -> STM32 Cortex-M3 TDI (input)
12305 @item STM32 Cortex-M3 TDO (output) -> SM32 TDO Pin
12306 @item STM32 TDO Pin (output) -> Xilinx TDI Pin (input)
12307 @item Xilinx TDO Pin -> OpenOCD TDO (input)
12308 @end itemize
12309
12310 The ``jtag device'' commands would thus be in the order shown below. Note:
12311
12312 @itemize @bullet
12313 @item jtag newtap Xilinx tap -irlen ...
12314 @item jtag newtap stm32 cpu -irlen ...
12315 @item jtag newtap stm32 bs -irlen ...
12316 @item # Create the debug target and say where it is
12317 @item target create stm32.cpu -chain-position stm32.cpu ...
12318 @end itemize
12319
12320
12321 @item @b{SYSCOMP} Sometimes my debugging session terminates with an error. When I look into the
12322 log file, I can see these error messages: Error: arm7_9_common.c:561
12323 arm7_9_execute_sys_speed(): timeout waiting for SYSCOMP

12331 @cindex Tcl
12332
12333 Not everyone knows Tcl - this is not intended to be a replacement for
12334 learning Tcl, the intent of this chapter is to give you some idea of
12335 how the Tcl scripts work.
12336
12337 This chapter is written with two audiences in mind. (1) OpenOCD users
12338 who need to understand a bit more of how Jim-Tcl works so they can do
12339 something useful, and (2) those that want to add a new command to
12340 OpenOCD.
12341
12342 @section Tcl Rule #1
12343 There is a famous joke, it goes like this:
12344 @enumerate
12345 @item Rule #1: The wife is always correct
12346 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
12347 @end enumerate
12348
12349 The Tcl equal is this:
12350
12351 @enumerate
12352 @item Rule #1: Everything is a string
12353 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
12354 @end enumerate
12355
12356 As in the famous joke, the consequences of Rule #1 are profound. Once
12357 you understand Rule #1, you will understand Tcl.
12358
12359 @section Tcl Rule #1b
12360 There is a second pair of rules.
12361 @enumerate
12362 @item Rule #1: Control flow does not exist. Only commands
12363 @* For example: the classic FOR loop or IF statement is not a control
12364 flow item, they are commands, there is no such thing as control flow
12365 in Tcl.
12366 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
12367 @* Actually what happens is this: There are commands that by
12368 convention, act like control flow key words in other languages. One of
12369 those commands is the word ``for'', another command is ``if''.
12370 @end enumerate
12371
12372 @section Per Rule #1 - All Results are strings
12373 Every Tcl command results in a string. The word ``result'' is used
12374 deliberately. No result is just an empty string. Remember: @i{Rule #1 -
12375 Everything is a string}
12376
12377 @section Tcl Quoting Operators
12378 In life of a Tcl script, there are two important periods of time, the
12379 difference is subtle.
12380 @enumerate
12381 @item Parse Time
12382 @item Evaluation Time
12383 @end enumerate
12384
12385 The two key items here are how ``quoted things'' work in Tcl. Tcl has
12386 three primary quoting constructs, the [square-brackets] the
12387 @{curly-braces@} and ``double-quotes''
12388
12389 By now you should know $VARIABLES always start with a $DOLLAR
12390 sign. BTW: To set a variable, you actually use the command ``set'', as
12391 in ``set VARNAME VALUE'' much like the ancient BASIC language ``let x
12392 = 1'' statement, but without the equal sign.
12393
12394 @itemize @bullet
12395 @item @b{[square-brackets]}
12396 @* @b{[square-brackets]} are command substitutions. It operates much
12397 like Unix Shell `back-ticks`. The result of a [square-bracket]
12398 operation is exactly 1 string. @i{Remember Rule #1 - Everything is a
12399 string}. These two statements are roughly identical:
12400 @example
12401 # bash example
12402 X=`date`
12403 echo "The Date is: $X"
12404 # Tcl example
12405 set X [date]
12406 puts "The Date is: $X"
12407 @end example
12408 @item @b{``double-quoted-things''}
12409 @* @b{``double-quoted-things''} are just simply quoted
12410 text. $VARIABLES and [square-brackets] are expanded in place - the
12411 result however is exactly 1 string. @i{Remember Rule #1 - Everything
12412 is a string}
12413 @example
12414 set x "Dinner"
12415 puts "It is now \"[date]\", $x is in 1 hour"
12416 @end example
12417 @item @b{@{Curly-Braces@}}
12418 @*@b{@{Curly-Braces@}} are magic: $VARIABLES and [square-brackets] are
12419 parsed, but are NOT expanded or executed. @{Curly-Braces@} are like
12420 'single-quote' operators in BASH shell scripts, with the added
12421 feature: @{curly-braces@} can be nested, single quotes can not. @{@{@{this is
12422 nested 3 times@}@}@} NOTE: [date] is a bad example;
12423 at this writing, Jim/OpenOCD does not have a date command.
12424 @end itemize
12425
12426 @section Consequences of Rule 1/2/3/4
12427
12428 The consequences of Rule 1 are profound.
12429
12430 @subsection Tokenisation & Execution.
12431
12432 Of course, whitespace, blank lines and #comment lines are handled in
12433 the normal way.
12434
12435 As a script is parsed, each (multi) line in the script file is
12436 tokenised and according to the quoting rules. After tokenisation, that
12437 line is immediately executed.
12438
12439 Multi line statements end with one or more ``still-open''
12440 @{curly-braces@} which - eventually - closes a few lines later.
12441
12442 @subsection Command Execution
12443
12444 Remember earlier: There are no ``control flow''
12445 statements in Tcl. Instead there are COMMANDS that simply act like
12446 control flow operators.
12447
12448 Commands are executed like this:
12449
12450 @enumerate
12451 @item Parse the next line into (argc) and (argv[]).
12452 @item Look up (argv[0]) in a table and call its function.
12453 @item Repeat until End Of File.
12454 @end enumerate
12455
12456 It sort of works like this:
12457 @example
12458 for(;;)@{
12459 ReadAndParse( &argc, &argv );
12460
12461 cmdPtr = LookupCommand( argv[0] );
12462
12463 (*cmdPtr->Execute)( argc, argv );
12464 @}
12465 @end example
12466
12467 When the command ``proc'' is parsed (which creates a procedure
12468 function) it gets 3 parameters on the command line. @b{1} the name of
12469 the proc (function), @b{2} the list of parameters, and @b{3} the body
12470 of the function. Note the choice of words: LIST and BODY. The PROC
12471 command stores these items in a table somewhere so it can be found by
12472 ``LookupCommand()''
12473
12474 @subsection The FOR command
12475
12476 The most interesting command to look at is the FOR command. In Tcl,
12477 the FOR command is normally implemented in C. Remember, FOR is a
12478 command just like any other command.
12479
12480 When the ascii text containing the FOR command is parsed, the parser
12481 produces 5 parameter strings, @i{(If in doubt: Refer to Rule #1)} they
12482 are:
12483
12484 @enumerate 0
12485 @item The ascii text 'for'
12486 @item The start text
12487 @item The test expression
12488 @item The next text
12489 @item The body text
12490 @end enumerate
12491
12492 Sort of reminds you of ``main( int argc, char **argv )'' does it not?
12493 Remember @i{Rule #1 - Everything is a string.} The key point is this:
12494 Often many of those parameters are in @{curly-braces@} - thus the
12495 variables inside are not expanded or replaced until later.
12496
12497 Remember that every Tcl command looks like the classic ``main( argc,
12498 argv )'' function in C. In JimTCL - they actually look like this:
12499
12500 @example
12501 int
12502 MyCommand( Jim_Interp *interp,
12503 int *argc,
12504 Jim_Obj * const *argvs );
12505 @end example
12506
12507 Real Tcl is nearly identical. Although the newer versions have
12508 introduced a byte-code parser and interpreter, but at the core, it
12509 still operates in the same basic way.
12510
12511 @subsection FOR command implementation
12512
12513 To understand Tcl it is perhaps most helpful to see the FOR
12514 command. Remember, it is a COMMAND not a control flow structure.
12515
12516 In Tcl there are two underlying C helper functions.
12517
12518 Remember Rule #1 - You are a string.
12519
12520 The @b{first} helper parses and executes commands found in an ascii
12521 string. Commands can be separated by semicolons, or newlines. While
12522 parsing, variables are expanded via the quoting rules.
12523
12524 The @b{second} helper evaluates an ascii string as a numerical
12525 expression and returns a value.
12526
12527 Here is an example of how the @b{FOR} command could be
12528 implemented. The pseudo code below does not show error handling.
12529 @example
12530 void Execute_AsciiString( void *interp, const char *string );
12531
12532 int Evaluate_AsciiExpression( void *interp, const char *string );
12533
12534 int
12535 MyForCommand( void *interp,
12536 int argc,
12537 char **argv )
12538 @{
12539 if( argc != 5 )@{
12540 SetResult( interp, "WRONG number of parameters");
12541 return ERROR;
12542 @}
12543
12544 // argv[0] = the ascii string just like C
12545
12546 // Execute the start statement.
12547 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[1] );
12548
12549 // Top of loop test
12550 for(;;)@{
12551 i = Evaluate_AsciiExpression(interp, argv[2]);
12552 if( i == 0 )
12553 break;
12554
12555 // Execute the body
12556 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[3] );
12557
12558 // Execute the LOOP part
12559 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[4] );
12560 @}
12561
12562 // Return no error
12563 SetResult( interp, "" );
12564 return SUCCESS;
12565 @}
12566 @end example
12567
12568 Every other command IF, WHILE, FORMAT, PUTS, EXPR, everything works
12569 in the same basic way.
12570
12571 @section OpenOCD Tcl Usage
12572
12573 @subsection source and find commands
12574 @b{Where:} In many configuration files
12575 @* Example: @b{ source [find FILENAME] }
12576 @*Remember the parsing rules
12577 @enumerate
12578 @item The @command{find} command is in square brackets,
12579 and is executed with the parameter FILENAME. It should find and return
12580 the full path to a file with that name; it uses an internal search path.
12581 The RESULT is a string, which is substituted into the command line in
12582 place of the bracketed @command{find} command.
12583 (Don't try to use a FILENAME which includes the "#" character.
12584 That character begins Tcl comments.)
12585 @item The @command{source} command is executed with the resulting filename;
12586 it reads a file and executes as a script.
12587 @end enumerate
12588 @subsection format command
12589 @b{Where:} Generally occurs in numerous places.
12590 @* Tcl has no command like @b{printf()}, instead it has @b{format}, which is really more like
12591 @b{sprintf()}.
12592 @b{Example}
12593 @example
12594 set x 6
12595 set y 7
12596 puts [format "The answer: %d" [expr @{$x * $y@}]]
12597 @end example
12598 @enumerate
12599 @item The SET command creates 2 variables, X and Y.
12600 @item The double [nested] EXPR command performs math
12601 @* The EXPR command produces numerical result as a string.
12602 @* Refer to Rule #1
12603 @item The format command is executed, producing a single string
12604 @* Refer to Rule #1.
12605 @item The PUTS command outputs the text.
12606 @end enumerate
12607 @subsection Body or Inlined Text
12608 @b{Where:} Various TARGET scripts.
12609 @example
12610 #1 Good
12611 proc someproc @{@} @{
12612 ... multiple lines of stuff ...
12613 @}
12614 $_TARGETNAME configure -event FOO someproc
12615 #2 Good - no variables
12616 $_TARGETNAME configure -event foo "this ; that;"
12617 #3 Good Curly Braces
12618 $_TARGETNAME configure -event FOO @{
12619 puts "Time: [date]"
12620 @}
12621 #4 DANGER DANGER DANGER
12622 $_TARGETNAME configure -event foo "puts \"Time: [date]\""
12623 @end example
12624 @enumerate
12625 @item The $_TARGETNAME is an OpenOCD variable convention.
12626 @*@b{$_TARGETNAME} represents the last target created, the value changes
12627 each time a new target is created. Remember the parsing rules. When
12628 the ascii text is parsed, the @b{$_TARGETNAME} becomes a simple string,
12629 the name of the target which happens to be a TARGET (object)
12630 command.
12631 @item The 2nd parameter to the @option{-event} parameter is a TCBODY
12632 @*There are 4 examples:
12633 @enumerate
12634 @item The TCLBODY is a simple string that happens to be a proc name
12635 @item The TCLBODY is several simple commands separated by semicolons
12636 @item The TCLBODY is a multi-line @{curly-brace@} quoted string
12637 @item The TCLBODY is a string with variables that get expanded.
12638 @end enumerate
12639
12640 In the end, when the target event FOO occurs the TCLBODY is
12641 evaluated. Method @b{#1} and @b{#2} are functionally identical. For
12642 Method @b{#3} and @b{#4} it is more interesting. What is the TCLBODY?
12643
12644 Remember the parsing rules. In case #3, @{curly-braces@} mean the
12645 $VARS and [square-brackets] are expanded later, when the EVENT occurs,
12646 and the text is evaluated. In case #4, they are replaced before the
12647 ``Target Object Command'' is executed. This occurs at the same time
12648 $_TARGETNAME is replaced. In case #4 the date will never
12649 change. @{BTW: [date] is a bad example; at this writing,
12650 Jim/OpenOCD does not have a date command@}
12651 @end enumerate
12652 @subsection Global Variables
12653 @b{Where:} You might discover this when writing your own procs @* In
12654 simple terms: Inside a PROC, if you need to access a global variable
12655 you must say so. See also ``upvar''. Example:
12656 @example
12657 proc myproc @{ @} @{
12658 set y 0 #Local variable Y
12659 global x #Global variable X
12660 puts [format "X=%d, Y=%d" $x $y]
12661 @}
12662 @end example
12663 @section Other Tcl Hacks
12664 @b{Dynamic variable creation}
12665 @example
12666 # Dynamically create a bunch of variables.
12667 for @{ set x 0 @} @{ $x < 32 @} @{ set x [expr @{$x + 1@}]@} @{
12668 # Create var name
12669 set vn [format "BIT%d" $x]
12670 # Make it a global
12671 global $vn
12672 # Set it.
12673 set $vn [expr @{1 << $x@}]
12674 @}
12675 @end example
12676 @b{Dynamic proc/command creation}
12677 @example
12678 # One "X" function - 5 uart functions.
