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

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

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

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

219 @option{--enable-presto_ftd2xx}
220 @item
221 @option{--enable-jlink}
222 @end itemize
223
224 If you want to access the parallel port using the PPDEV interface you have to specify
225 both the @option{--enable-parport} AND the @option{--enable-parport_ppdev} option since
226 the @option{--enable-parport_ppdev} option actually is an option to the parport driver
227 (see @uref{http://forum.sparkfun.com/viewtopic.php?t=3795} for more info).
228
229 Cygwin users have to specify the location of the FTDI D2XX package. This should be an
230 absolute path containing no spaces.
231
232 Linux users should copy the various parts of the D2XX package to the appropriate
233 locations, i.e. /usr/include, /usr/lib.

261 @section Choosing a Dongle
262
263 There are three things you should keep in mind when choosing a dongle.
264
265 @enumerate
266 @item @b{Voltage} What voltage is your target? 1.8, 2.8, 3.3, or 5V? Does your dongle support it?
267 @item @b{Connection} Printer Ports - Does your computer have one?
268 @item @b{Connection} Is that long printer bit-bang cable practical?
269 @item @b{RTCK} Do you require RTCK? Also known as ``adaptive clocking''

274 @b{ZY1000} See: @url{http://www.zylin.com/zy1000.html} Technically, not a
275 dongle, but a standalone box.
276
277 @section USB FT2232 Based
278
279 There are many USB jtag dongles on the market, many of them are based
280 on a chip from ``Future Technology Devices International'' (FTDI)
281 known as the FTDI FT2232.

410 --log_output | -l redirect log output to file <name>
411 --command | -c run <command>
412 @end verbatim
413
414 By default openocd reads the file configuration file ``openocd.cfg''
415 in the current directory. To specify a different (or multiple)
416 configuration file, you can use the ``-f'' option. For example:
417
418 @example
419 openocd -f config1.cfg -f config2.cfg -f config3.cfg
420 @end example
421
422 Once started, OpenOCD runs as a daemon, waiting for connections from
423 clients (Telnet, GDB, Other).
424
425 If you are having problems, you can enable internal debug messages via
426 the ``-d'' option.
427
428 Also it is possible to interleave commands w/config scripts using the
429 @option{-c} command line switch.
430
431 To enable debug output (when reporting problems or working on OpenOCD
432 itself), use the @option{-d} command line switch. This sets the
433 @option{debug_level} to "3", outputting the most information,
434 including debug messages. The default setting is "2", outputting only
435 informational messages, warnings and errors. You can also change this
436 setting from within a telnet or gdb session using @option{debug_level
437 <n>} @xref{debug_level}.
438
439 You can redirect all output from the daemon to a file using the
440 @option{-l <logfile>} switch.
441
442 Search paths for config/script files can be added to OpenOCD by using
443 the @option{-s <search>} switch. The current directory and the OpenOCD
444 target library is in the search path by default.
445
446 Note! OpenOCD will launch the GDB & telnet server even if it can not
447 establish a connection with the target. In general, it is possible for
448 the JTAG controller to be unresponsive until the target is set up
449 correctly via e.g. GDB monitor commands in a GDB init script.

451 @node Simple Configuration Files
452 @chapter Simple Configuration Files
453 @cindex configuration
454
455 @section Outline
456 There are 4 basic ways of ``configurating'' openocd to run, they are:
457
458 @enumerate
459 @item A small openocd.cfg file which ``sources'' other configuration files
460 @item A monolithic openocd.cfg file
461 @item Many -f filename options on the command line
462 @item Your Mixed Solution
463 @end enumerate
464
465 @section Small configuration file method
466
467 This is the prefered method, it is simple and is works well for many
468 people. The developers of OpenOCD would encourage you to use this
469 method. If you create a new configuration please email new
470 configurations to the development list.
471
472 Here is an example of an openocd.cfg file for an ATMEL at91sam7x256
473
474 @example
475 source [find interface/signalyzer.cfg]
476
477 # Change the default telnet port...
478 telnet_port 4444
479 # GDB connects here
480 gdb_port 3333
481 # GDB can also flash my flash!
482 gdb_memory_map enable
483 gdb_flash_program enable
484
485 source [find target/sam7x256.cfg]
486 @end example
487
488 There are many example configuration scripts you can work with. You
489 should look in the directory: @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/lib/openocd}. You
490 should find:
491
492 @enumerate
493 @item @b{board} - eval board level configurations
494 @item @b{interface} - specific dongle configurations
495 @item @b{target} - the target chips
496 @item @b{tcl} - helper scripts
497 @item @b{xscale} - things specific to the xscale.
498 @end enumerate
499
500 Look first in the ``boards'' area, then the ``targets'' area. Often a board
501 configuration is a good example to work from.
502
503 @section Many -f filename options
504 Some believe this is a wonderful solution, others find it painful.
505
506 You can use a series of ``-f filename'' options on the command line,
507 OpenOCD will read each filename in sequence, for example:
508
509 @example
510 openocd -f file1.cfg -f file2.cfg -f file2.cfg
511 @end example
512
513 You can also intermix various commands with the ``-c'' command line
514 option.
515
516 @section Monolithic file
517 The ``Monolithic File'' dispenses with all ``source'' statements and
518 puts everything in one self contained (monolithic) file. This is not
519 encouraged.
520
521 Please try to ``source'' various files or use the multiple -f
522 technique.
523
524 @section Advice for you
525 Often, one uses a ``mixed approach''. Where possible, please try to
526 ``source'' common things, and if needed cut/paste parts of the
527 standard distribution configuration files as needed.
528
529 @b{REMEMBER:} The ``important parts'' of your configuration file are:
530
531 @enumerate
532 @item @b{Interface} - Defines the dongle
533 @item @b{Taps} - Defines the JTAG Taps
534 @item @b{GDB Targets} - What GDB talks to
535 @item @b{Flash Programing} - Very Helpful
536 @end enumerate
537
538 Some key things you should look at and understand are:
539
540 @enumerate
541 @item The RESET configuration of your debug environment as a hole
542 @item Is there a ``work area'' that that OpenOCD can use?
543 @* For ARM - work areas mean up to 10x faster downloads.
544 @item For MMU/MPU based ARM chips (ie: ARM9 and later) will that work area still be available?
545 @item For complex targets (multiple chips) the JTAG SPEED becomes an issue.

551 @chapter Config File Guidelines
552
553 This section/chapter is aimed at developers and integrators of
554 OpenOCD. These are guidelines for creating new boards and new target
555 configurations as of 28/Nov/2008.
556
557 However, you the user of OpenOCD should be some what familiar with
558 this section as it should help explain some of the internals of what
559 you might be looking at.
560
561 The user should find under @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/lib/openocd} the
562 following directories:
563
564 @itemize @bullet
565 @item @b{interface}
566 @*Think JTAG Dongle. Files that configure the jtag dongle go here.
567 @item @b{board}
568 @* Thing Circuit Board, PWA, PCB, they go by many names. Board files
569 contain initialization items that are specific to a board - for
570 example: The SDRAM initialization sequence for the board, or the type
571 of external flash and what address it is found at. Any initialization
572 sequence to enable that external flash or sdram should be found in the
573 board file. Boards may also contain multiple targets, ie: Two cpus, or
574 a CPU and an FPGA or CPLD.
575 @item @b{target}
576 @* Think CHIP. The ``target'' directory represents a jtag tap (or
577 chip) OpenOCD should control, not a board. Two common types of targets
578 are ARM chips and FPGA or CPLD chips.
579 @end itemize
580
581 @b{If needed...} The user in their ``openocd.cfg'' file or the board
582 file might override a specific feature in any of the above files by
583 setting a variable or two before sourcing the target file. Or adding
584 various commands specific to their situation.
585
586 @section Interface Config Files
587
588 The user should be able to source one of these files via a command like this:
589
590 @example
591 source [find interface/FOOBAR.cfg]
592 Or:
593 openocd -f interface/FOOBAR.cfg
594 @end example
595
596 A preconfigured interface file should exist for every interface in use
597 today, that said, perhaps some interfaces have only been used by the
598 sole developer who created it.
599
600 @b{FIXME/NOTE:} We need to add support for a variable like TCL variable
601 tcl_platform(platform), it should be called jim_platform (because it
602 is jim, not real tcl) and it should contain 1 of 3 words: ``linux'',
603 ``cygwin'' or ``mingw''
604
605 Interface files should be found in @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/lib/openocd/interface}
606
607 @section Board Config Files
608
609 @b{Note: BOARD directory NEW as of 28/nov/2008}
610
611 The user should be able to source one of these files via a command like this:
612
613 @example
614 source [find board/FOOBAR.cfg]
615 Or:
616 openocd -f board/FOOBAR.cfg
617 @end example
618
619
620 The board file should contain one or more @t{source [find
621 target/FOO.cfg]} statements along with any board specific things.
622
623 In summery the board files should contain (if present)
624
625 @enumerate
626 @item External flash configuration (ie: the flash on CS0)
627 @item SDRAM configuration (size, speed, etc)
628 @item Board specific IO configuration (ie: GPIO pins might disable a 2nd flash)
629 @item Multiple TARGET source statements
630 @item All things that are not ``inside a chip''
631 @item Things inside a chip go in a 'target' file
632 @end enumerate
633
634 @section Target Config Files
635
636 The user should be able to source one of these files via a command like this:
637
638 @example
639 source [find target/FOOBAR.cfg]
640 Or:
641 openocd -f target/FOOBAR.cfg
642 @end example
643
644 In summery the target files should contain
645
646 @enumerate
647 @item Set Defaults
648 @item Create Taps
649 @item Reset Configuration
650 @item Work Areas
651 @item CPU/Chip/CPU-Core Specific features
652 @item OnChip Flash
653 @end enumerate
654
655 @subsection Important variable names
656
657 By default, the end user should never need to set these
658 variables. However, if the user needs to override a setting they only
659 need to set the variable in a simple way.
660
661 @itemize @bullet
662 @item @b{CHIPNAME}
663 @* This gives a name to the overall chip, and is used as part of the
664 tap identifier dotted name.
665 @item @b{ENDIAN}
666 @* By default little - unless the chip or board is not normally used that way.
667 @item @b{CPUTAPID}
668 @* When OpenOCD examines the JTAG chain, it will attempt to identify
669 every chip. If the @t{-expected-id} is nonzero, OpenOCD attempts
670 to verify the tap id number verses configuration file and may issue an
671 error or warning like this. The hope is this will help pin point
672 problem openocd configurations.
673
674 @example
675 Info: JTAG tap: sam7x256.cpu tap/device found: 0x3f0f0f0f (Manufacturer: 0x787, Part: 0xf0f0, Version: 0x3)
676 Error: ERROR: Tap: sam7x256.cpu - Expected id: 0x12345678, Got: 0x3f0f0f0f
677 Error: ERROR: expected: mfg: 0x33c, part: 0x2345, ver: 0x1
678 Error: ERROR: got: mfg: 0x787, part: 0xf0f0, ver: 0x3
679 @end example
680
681 @item @b{_TARGETNAME}
682 @* By convention, this variable is created by the target configuration
683 script. The board configuration file may make use of this variable to
684 configure things like a ``reset init'' script, or other things
685 specific to that board and that target.
686
687 If the chip has 2 targets, use the names @b{_TARGETNAME0},
688 @b{_TARGETNAME1}, ... etc.
689
690 @b{Remember:} The ``board file'' may include multiple targets.
691
692 At no time should the name ``target0'' (the default target name if
693 none was specified) be used. The name ``target0'' is a hard coded name
694 - the next target on the board will be some other number.
695
696 The user (or board file) should reasonably be able to:
697
698 @example
699 source [find target/FOO.cfg]
700 $_TARGETNAME configure ... FOO specific parameters
701
702 source [find target/BAR.cfg]
703 $_TARGETNAME configure ... BAR specific parameters
704 @end example
705
706 @end itemize
707
708 @subsection TCL Variables Guide Line
709 The Full Tcl/Tk language supports ``namespaces'' - JIM-Tcl does not.
710
711 Thus the rule we follow in OpenOCD is this: Variables that begin with
712 a leading underscore are temporal in nature, and can be modified and
713 used at will within a ?TARGET? configuration file
714
715 @b{EXAMPLE:} The user should be able to do this:
716
717 @example
718 # Board has 3 chips,
719 # PXA270 #1 network side, big endian
720 # PXA270 #2 video side, little endian
721 # Xilinx Glue logic
722 set CHIPNAME network
723 set ENDIAN big
724 source [find target/pxa270.cfg]
725 # variable: _TARGETNAME = network.cpu
726 # other commands can refer to the "network.cpu" tap.
727 $_TARGETNAME configure .... params for this cpu..
728
729 set ENDIAN little
730 set CHIPNAME video
731 source [find target/pxa270.cfg]
732 # variable: _TARGETNAME = video.cpu
733 # other commands can refer to the "video.cpu" tap.
734 $_TARGETNAME configure .... params for this cpu..
735
736 unset ENDIAN
737 set CHIPNAME xilinx
738 source [find target/spartan3.cfg]
739
740 # Since $_TARGETNAME is temporal..
741 # these names still work!
742 network.cpu configure ... params
743 video.cpu configure ... params
744
745 @end example
746
747 @subsection Default Value Boiler Plate Code
748
749 All target configuration files should start with this (or a modified form)
750
751 @example
752 # SIMPLE example
753 if @{ [info exists CHIPNAME] @} @{
754 set _CHIPNAME $CHIPNAME
755 @} else @{
756 set _CHIPNAME sam7x256
757 @}
758
759 if @{ [info exists ENDIAN] @} @{
760 set _ENDIAN $ENDIAN
761 @} else @{
762 set _ENDIAN little
763 @}
764
765 if @{ [info exists CPUTAPID ] @} @{
766 set _CPUTAPID $CPUTAPID
767 @} else @{
768 set _CPUTAPID 0x3f0f0f0f
769 @}
770
771 @end example
772
773 @subsection Creating Taps
774 After the ``defaults'' are choosen, [see above], the taps are created.
775
776 @b{SIMPLE example:} such as an Atmel AT91SAM7X256
777
778 @example
779 # for an ARM7TDMI.
780 set _TARGETNAME [format "%s.cpu" $_CHIPNAME]
781 jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME cpu -irlen 4 -ircapture 0x1 -irmask 0xf -expected-id $_CPUTAPID
782 @end example
783
784 @b{COMPLEX example:}
785
786 This is an SNIP/example for an STR912 - which has 3 internal taps. Key features shown:
787
788 @enumerate
789 @item @b{Unform tap names} - See: Tap Naming Convention
790 @item @b{_TARGETNAME} is created at the end where used.
791 @end enumerate
792
793 @example
794 if @{ [info exists FLASHTAPID ] @} @{
795 set _FLASHTAPID $FLASHTAPID
796 @} else @{
797 set _FLASHTAPID 0x25966041
798 @}
799 jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME flash -irlen 8 -ircapture 0x1 -irmask 0x1 -expected-id $_FLASHTAPID
800
801 if @{ [info exists CPUTAPID ] @} @{
802 set _CPUTAPID $CPUTAPID
803 @} else @{
804 set _CPUTAPID 0x25966041
805 @}
806 jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME cpu -irlen 4 -ircapture 0xf -irmask 0xe -expected-id $_CPUTAPID
807
808
809 if @{ [info exists BSTAPID ] @} @{
810 set _BSTAPID $BSTAPID
811 @} else @{
812 set _BSTAPID 0x1457f041
813 @}
814 jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME bs -irlen 5 -ircapture 0x1 -irmask 0x1 -expected-id $_BSTAPID
815
816 set _TARGETNAME [format "%s.cpu" $_CHIPNAME]
817 @end example
818
819 @b{Tap Naming Convention}
820
821 See the command ``jtag newtap'' for detail, but in breif the names you should use are:
822
823 @itemize @bullet
824 @item @b{tap}
825 @item @b{cpu}
826 @item @b{flash}
827 @item @b{bs}
828 @item @b{jrc}
829 @item @b{unknownN} - it happens :-(
830 @end itemize
831
832 @subsection Reset Configuration
833
834 Some chips have specific ways the TRST and SRST signals are
835 managed. If these are @b{CHIP SPECIFIC} they go here, if they are
836 @b{BOARD SPECIFIC} they go in the board file.
837
838 @subsection Work Areas
839
840 Work areas are small RAM areas used by OpenOCD to speed up downloads,
841 and to download small snippits of code to program flash chips.
842
843 If the chip includes an form of ``on-chip-ram'' - and many do - define
844 a reasonable work area and use the ``backup'' option.
845
846 @b{PROBLEMS:} On more complex chips, this ``work area'' may become
847 inaccessable if/when the application code enables or disables the MMU.
848
849 @subsection ARM Core Specific Hacks
850
851 If the chip has a DCC, enable it. If the chip is an arm9 with some
852 special high speed download - enable it.
853
854 If the chip has an ARM ``vector catch'' feature - by defeault enable
855 it for Undefined Instructions, Data Abort, and Prefetch Abort, if the
856 user is really writing a handler for those situations - they can
857 easily disable it. Experiance has shown the ``vector catch'' is
858 helpful - for common programing errors.
859
860 If present, the MMU, the MPU and the CACHE should be disabled.
861
862 @subsection Internal Flash Configuration
863
864 This applies @b{ONLY TO MICROCONTROLLERS} that have flash built in.
865
866 @b{Never ever} in the ``target configuration file'' define any type of
867 flash that is external to the chip. (For example the BOOT flash on
868 Chip Select 0). The BOOT flash information goes in a board file - not
869 the TARGET (chip) file.
870
871 Examples:
872 @itemize @bullet
873 @item at91sam7x256 - has 256K flash YES enable it.
874 @item str912 - has flash internal YES enable it.
875 @item imx27 - uses boot flash on CS0 - it goes in the board file.
876 @item pxa270 - again - CS0 flash - it goes in the board file.

879 @node About JIM-Tcl
880 @chapter About JIM-Tcl
881 @cindex JIM Tcl
882 @cindex tcl
883
884 OpenOCD includes a small ``TCL Interpreter'' known as JIM-TCL. You can
885 learn more about JIM here: @url{http://jim.berlios.de}
886
887 @itemize @bullet
888 @item @b{JIM vrs TCL}
889 @* JIM-TCL is a stripped down version of the well known Tcl language,
890 which can be found here: @url{http://www.tcl.tk}. JIM-Tcl has far
891 fewer features. JIM-Tcl is a single .C file and a single .H file and
892 impliments the basic TCL command set along. In contrast: Tcl 8.6 is a
893 4.2MEG zip file containing 1540 files.
894
895 @item @b{Missing Features}
896 @* Our practice has been: Add/clone the Real TCL feature if/when
897 needed. We welcome JIM Tcl improvements, not bloat.
898
899 @item @b{Scripts}
900 @* OpenOCD configuration scripts are JIM Tcl Scripts. OpenOCD's
901 command interpretor today (28/nov/2008) is a mixture of (newer)
902 JIM-Tcl commands, and (older) the orginal command interpretor.
903
904 @item @b{Commands}
905 @* At the openocd telnet command line (or via the GDB mon command) one
906 can type a Tcl for() loop, set variables, etc.
907
908 @item @b{Historical Note}
909 @* JIM-Tcl was introduced to OpenOCD in Spring 2008.
910

915
916 @node Daemon Configuration
917 @chapter Daemon Configuration
918 The commands here are commonly found inthe openocd.cfg file and are
919 used to specify what TCP/IP ports are used, and how GDB should be
920 supported.
921 @section init
922 @cindex init
923 This command terminates the configuration stage and
924 enters the normal command mode. This can be useful to add commands to
925 the startup scripts and commands such as resetting the target,
926 programming flash, etc. To reset the CPU upon startup, add "init" and
927 "reset" at the end of the config script or at the end of the OpenOCD
928 command line using the @option{-c} command line switch.
929
930 If this command does not appear in any startup/configuration file
931 OpenOCD executes the command for you after processing all
932 configuration files and/or command line options.
933
934 @b{NOTE:} This command normally occurs at or near the end of your
935 openocd.cfg file to force OpenOCD to ``initialize'' and make the
936 targets ready. For example: If your openocd.cfg file needs to
937 read/write memory on your target - the init command must occur before
938 the memory read/write commands.
939
940 @section TCP/IP Ports
941 @itemize @bullet
942 @item @b{telnet_port} <@var{number}>
943 @cindex telnet_port
944 @*Intended for a human. Port on which to listen for incoming telnet connections.
945
946 @item @b{tcl_port} <@var{number}>
947 @cindex tcl_port
948 @*Intended as a machine interface. Port on which to listen for
949 incoming TCL syntax. This port is intended as a simplified RPC
950 connection that can be used by clients to issue commands and get the
951 output from the TCL engine.
952
953 @item @b{gdb_port} <@var{number}>
954 @cindex gdb_port
955 @*First port on which to listen for incoming GDB connections. The GDB port for the
956 first target will be gdb_port, the second target will listen on gdb_port + 1, and so on.

961 @item @b{gdb_breakpoint_override} <@var{hard|soft|disabled}>
962 @cindex gdb_breakpoint_override
963 @anchor{gdb_breakpoint_override}
964 @*Force breakpoint type for gdb 'break' commands.
965 The raison d'etre for this option is to support GDB GUI's without
966 a hard/soft breakpoint concept where the default OpenOCD and
967 GDB behaviour is not sufficient. Note that GDB will use hardware
968 breakpoints if the memory map has been set up for flash regions.
969
970 This option replaces older arm7_9 target commands that addressed
971 the same issue.
972
973 @item @b{gdb_detach} <@var{resume|reset|halt|nothing}>
974 @cindex gdb_detach
975 @*Configures what OpenOCD will do when gdb detaches from the daeman.

977
978 @item @b{gdb_memory_map} <@var{enable|disable}>
979 @cindex gdb_memory_map
980 @*Set to <@var{enable}> to cause OpenOCD to send the memory configuration to gdb when
981 requested. gdb will then know when to set hardware breakpoints, and program flash
982 using the gdb load command. @option{gdb_flash_program enable} will also need enabling
983 for flash programming to work.
984 Default behaviour is <@var{enable}>

1205
1206 It is debatable if this command belongs here - or in a board
1207 configuration file. In fact, in some situations the jtag speed is
1208 changed during the target initialization process (ie: (1) slow at
1209 reset, (2) program the cpu clocks, (3) run fast)
1210
1211 Speed 0 (khz) selects RTCK method. A non-zero speed is in KHZ. Hence: 3000 is 3mhz.
1212
1213 Not all interfaces support ``rtck''. If the interface device can not
1214 support the rate asked for, or can not translate from kHz to
1215 jtag_speed, then an error is returned.
1216
1217 Make sure the jtag clock is no more than @math{1/6th × CPU-Clock}. This is
1218 especially true for synthesized cores (-S). Also see RTCK.
1219
1220 @b{NOTE: Script writers} If the target chip requires/uses RTCK -
1221 please use the command: 'jtag_rclk FREQ'. This TCL proc (in

1223 the specified frequency.

1273 @b{Note:} To maintainer types and integrators. Where exactly the
1274 ``reset configuration'' goes is a good question. It touches several
1275 things at once. In the end, if you have a board file - the board file
1276 should define it and assume 100% that the DONGLE supports
1277 anything. However, that does not mean the target should not also make
1278 not of something the silicon vendor has done inside the

1280
1281 @* @b{Problems:}
1282 @enumerate
1283 @item Every JTAG Dongle is slightly different, some dongles impliment reset differently.
1284 @item Every board is also slightly different; some boards tie TRST and SRST together.
1285 @item Every chip is slightly different; some chips internally tie the two signals together.
1286 @item Some may not impliment all of the signals the same way.
1287 @item Some signals might be push-pull, others open-drain/collector.
1288 @end enumerate
1289 @b{Best Case:} OpenOCD can hold the SRST (push-button-reset), then
1290 reset the TAP via TRST and send commands through the JTAG tap to halt
1291 the CPU at the reset vector before the 1st instruction is executed,
1292 and finally release the SRST signal.
1293 @*Depending upon your board vendor, your chip vendor, etc, these
1294 signals may have slightly different names.
1295
1296 OpenOCD defines these signals in these terms:
1297 @itemize @bullet
1298 @item @b{TRST} - is Tap Reset - and should reset only the TAP.
1299 @item @b{SRST} - is System Reset - typically equal to a reset push button.

1306 @cindex reset_config
1307 @* The @t{reset_config} command tells OpenOCD the reset configuration
1308 of your combination of Dongle, Board, and Chips.
1309 If the JTAG interface provides SRST, but the target doesn't connect
1310 that signal properly, then OpenOCD can't use it. <@var{signals}> can
1311 be @option{none}, @option{trst_only}, @option{srst_only} or
1312 @option{trst_and_srst}.
1313
1314 [@var{combination}] is an optional value specifying broken reset
1315 signal implementations. @option{srst_pulls_trst} states that the
1316 testlogic is reset together with the reset of the system (e.g. Philips
1317 LPC2000, "broken" board layout), @option{trst_pulls_srst} says that
1318 the system is reset together with the test logic (only hypothetical, I
1319 haven't seen hardware with such a bug, and can be worked around).
1320 @option{combined} imples both @option{srst_pulls_trst} and
1321 @option{trst_pulls_srst}. The default behaviour if no option given is
1322 @option{separate}.
1323
1324 The [@var{trst_type}] and [@var{srst_type}] parameters allow the
1325 driver type of the reset lines to be specified. Possible values are
1326 @option{trst_push_pull} (default) and @option{trst_open_drain} for the
1327 test reset signal, and @option{srst_open_drain} (default) and
1328 @option{srst_push_pull} for the system reset. These values only affect

1513 These commands are used when your target has a JTAG Route controller
1514 that effectively adds or removes a tap from the jtag chain in a

1516
1517 The ``standard way'' to remove a tap would be to place the tap in
1518 bypass mode. But with the advent of modern chips, this is not always a
1519 good solution. Some taps operate slowly, others operate fast, and
1520 there are other JTAG clock syncronization problems one must face. To
1521 solve that problem, the JTAG Route controller was introduced. Rather
1522 then ``bypass'' the tap, the tap is completely removed from the
1523 circuit and skipped.
1524
1525
1526 From OpenOCDs view point, a JTAG TAP is in one of 3 states:

1568 @section target COMMANDS
1569 @b{Note:} This command name is SINGULAR - not plural. It is used to
1570 manipulate specific targets, to create targets and other things.
1571
1572 Once a target is created, a TARGETNAME (object) command is created;
1573 see below for details.
1574
1575 The TARGET command accepts these sub-commands:
1576 @itemize @bullet
1577 @item @b{create} .. parameters ..
1578 @* creates a new target, See below for details.
1579 @item @b{types}
1580 @* Lists all supported target types (perhaps some are not yet in this document).
1581 @item @b{names}
1582 @* Lists all current debug target names, for example: 'str912.cpu' or 'pxa27.cpu' example usage:
1583 @verbatim
1584 foreach t [target names] {
1585 puts [format "Target: %s\n" $t]
1586 }
1587 @end verbatim
1588 @item @b{current}
1589 @* Returns the current target. OpenOCD always has, or refers to the ``current target'' in some way.
1590 By default, commands like: ``mww'' (used to write memory) operate on the current target.
1591 @item @b{number} @b{NUMBER}
1592 @* Internally OpenOCD maintains a list of targets - in numerical index
1593 (0..N-1) this command returns the name of the target at index N.
1594 Example usage:
1595 @verbatim
1596 set thename [target number $x]
1597 puts [format "Target %d is: %s\n" $x $thename]
1598 @end verbatim
1599 @item @b{count}
1600 @* Returns the number of targets known to OpenOCD (see number above)
1601 Example:
1602 @verbatim
1603 set c [target count]
1604 for { set x 0 } { $x < $c } { incr x } {
1605 # Assuming you have created this function
1606 print_target_details $x
1607 }
1608 @end verbatim
1609
1610 @end itemize
1611
1612 @section TARGETNAME (object) commands
1613 @b{Use:} Once a target is created, an ``object name'' that represents the
1614 target is created. By convention, the target name is identical to the
1615 tap name. In a multiple target system, one can preceed many common
1616 commands with a specific target name and effect only that target.
1617 @example
1618 str912.cpu mww 0x1234 0x42
1619 omap3530.cpu mww 0x5555 123
1620 @end example
1621
1622 @b{Model:} The Tcl/Tk language has the concept of object commands. A
1623 good example is a on screen button, once a button is created a button
1624 has a name (a path in TK terms) and that name is useable as a 1st
1625 class command. For example in TK, one can create a button and later
1626 configure it like this:
1627
1628 @example
1629 # Create
1630 button .foobar -background red -command @{ foo @}
1631 # Modify
1632 .foobar configure -foreground blue
1633 # Query
1634 set x [.foobar cget -background]
1635 # Report
1636 puts [format "The button is %s" $x]
1637 @end example
1638
1639 In OpenOCDs terms, the ``target'' is an object just like a Tcl/Tk
1640 button. Commands avaialble as a ``target object'' are:
1641
1642 @comment START targetobj commands.
1643 @itemize @bullet

1646 @item @b{curstate} - current target state (running, halt, etc)
1647 @item @b{eventlist}

1684
1685 @section Target Events
1686 At various times, certian things happen, or you want to happen.
1687
1688 Examples:
1689 @itemize @bullet
1690 @item What should happen when GDB connects? Should your target reset?
1691 @item When GDB tries to flash the target, do you need to enable the flash via a special command?
1692 @item During reset, do you need to write to certian memory locations to reconfigure the SDRAM?
1693 @end itemize
1694
1695 All of the above items are handled by target events.
1696
1697 To specify an event action, either during target creation, or later
1698 via ``$_TARGETNAME configure'' see this example.
1699
1700 Syntactially, the option is: ``-event NAME BODY'' where NAME is a
1701 target event name, and BODY is a tcl procedure or string of commands
1702 to execute.
1703
1704 The programers model is the: ``-command'' option used in Tcl/Tk
1705 buttons and events. Below are two identical examples, the first
1706 creates and invokes small procedure. The second inlines the procedure.
1707
1708 @example
1709 proc my_attach_proc @{ @} @{
1710 puts "RESET...."
1711 reset halt
1712 @}
1713 mychip.cpu configure -event gdb-attach my_attach_proc

1894 This command specifies a working area for the debugger to use. This
1895 may be used to speed-up downloads to target memory and flash
1896 operations, or to perform otherwise unavailable operations (some
1897 coprocessor operations on ARM7/9 systems, for example). The last
1898 parameter decides whether the memory should be preserved
1899 (<@var{backup}>) or can simply be overwritten (<@var{nobackup}>). If
1900 possible, use a working_area that doesn't need to be backed up, as
1901 performing a backup slows down operation.

2013 @subsection External Flash - cfi options
2014 @cindex cfi options
2015 CFI flash are external flash chips - often they are connected to a
2016 specific chip select on the micro. By default at hard reset most
2017 micros have the ablity to ``boot'' from some flash chip - typically
2018 attached to the chips CS0 pin.
2019
2020 For other chip selects: OpenOCD does not know how to configure, or
2021 access a specific chip select. Instead you the human might need to via
2022 other commands (like: mww) configure additional chip selects, or
2023 perhaps configure a GPIO pin that controls the ``write protect'' pin
2024 on the FLASH chip.

2028 @*CFI flashes require the number of the target they're connected to as an additional
2029 argument. The CFI driver makes use of a working area (specified for the target)
2030 to significantly speed up operation.
2031
2032 @var{chip_width} and @var{bus_width} are specified in bytes.

2166 @end itemize
2167
2168 Note: Before using the str9xpec driver here is some background info to help
2169 you better understand how the drivers works. Openocd has two flash drivers for
2170 the str9.
2171 @enumerate
2172 @item
2173 Standard driver @option{str9x} programmed via the str9 core. Normally used for
2174 flash programming as it is faster than the @option{str9xpec} driver.
2175 @item
2176 Direct programming @option{str9xpec} using the flash controller, this is
2177 ISC compilant (IEEE 1532) tap connected in series with the str9 core. The str9
2178 core does not need to be running to program using this flash driver. Typical use
2179 for this driver is locking/unlocking the target and programming the option bytes.
2180 @end enumerate
2181
2182 Before we run any cmds using the @option{str9xpec} driver we must first disable
2183 the str9 core. This example assumes the @option{str9xpec} driver has been
2184 configured for flash bank 0.
2185 @example
2186 # assert srst, we do not want core running
2187 # while accessing str9xpec flash driver
2188 jtag_reset 0 1
2189 # turn off target polling
2190 poll off
2191 # disable str9 core
2192 str9xpec enable_turbo 0
2193 # read option bytes
2194 str9xpec options_read 0
2195 # re-enable str9 core
2196 str9xpec disable_turbo 0
2197 poll on
2198 reset halt
2199 @end example
2200 The above example will read the str9 option bytes.
2201 When performing a unlock remember that you will not be able to halt the str9 - it
2202 has been locked. Halting the core is not required for the @option{str9xpec} driver
2203 as mentioned above, just issue the cmds above manually or from a telnet prompt.

2281 Intent:
2282 @itemize @bullet
2283 @item @b{Source Of Commands}
2284 @* OpenOCD commands can occur in a configuration script (discussed
2285 elsewhere) or typed manually by a human or supplied programatically,
2286 or via one of several Tcp/Ip Ports.
2287
2288 @item @b{From the human}
2289 @* A human should interact with the Telnet interface (default port: 4444,
2290 or via GDB, default port 3333)
2291
2292 To issue commands from within a GDB session, use the @option{monitor}
2293 command, e.g. use @option{monitor poll} to issue the @option{poll}
2294 command. All output is relayed through the GDB session.
2295

2321 @cindex fast
2322 @*Default disabled. Set default behaviour of OpenOCD to be "fast and dangerous". For instance ARM7/9 DCC memory
2323 downloads and fast memory access will work if the JTAG interface isn't too fast and
2324 the core doesn't run at a too low frequency. Note that this option only changes the default
2325 and that the indvidual options, like DCC memory downloads, can be enabled and disabled
2326 individually.
2327
2328 The target specific "dangerous" optimisation tweaking options may come and go
2329 as more robust and user friendly ways are found to ensure maximum throughput
2330 and robustness with a minimum of configuration.
2331
2332 Typically the "fast enable" is specified first on the command line:

2744 @chapter TFTP
2745 @cindex TFTP
2746 If OpenOCD runs on an embedded host(as ZY1000 does), then tftp can
2747 be used to access files on PCs(either developer PC or some other PC).
2748
2749 The way this works on the ZY1000 is to prefix a filename by
2750 "/tftp/ip/" and append the tftp path on the tftp
2751 server(tftpd). E.g. "load_image /tftp/10.0.0.96/c:\temp\abc.elf" will
2752 load c:\temp\abc.elf from the developer pc (10.0.0.96) into memory as
2753 if the file was hosted on the embedded host.
2754
2755 In order to achieve decent performance, you must choose a tftp server
2756 that supports a packet size bigger than the default packet size(512 bytes). There
2757 are numerous tftp servers out there(free and commercial) and you will have to do
2758 a bit of googling to find something that fits your requirements.

2786 @node GDB and OpenOCD
2787 @chapter GDB and OpenOCD
2788 @cindex GDB and OpenOCD
2789 OpenOCD complies with the remote gdbserver protocol, and as such can be used
2790 to debug remote targets.
2791
2792 @section Connecting to gdb
2793 @cindex Connecting to gdb
2794 Use GDB 6.7 or newer with OpenOCD if you run into trouble. For
2795 instance 6.3 has a known bug where it produces bogus memory access
2796 errors, which has since been fixed: look up 1836 in
2797 @url{http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?database=gdb}
2798
2799
2800 A connection is typically started as follows:
2801 @example
2802 target remote localhost:3333
2803 @end example
2804 This would cause gdb to connect to the gdbserver on the local pc using port 3333.
2805
2806 To see a list of available OpenOCD commands type @option{monitor help} on the
2807 gdb commandline.
2808
2809 OpenOCD supports the gdb @option{qSupported} packet, this enables information
2810 to be sent by the gdb server (openocd) to gdb. Typical information includes
2811 packet size and device memory map.
2812
2813 Previous versions of OpenOCD required the following gdb options to increase
2814 the packet size and speed up gdb communication.
2815 @example
2816 set remote memory-write-packet-size 1024
2817 set remote memory-write-packet-size fixed
2818 set remote memory-read-packet-size 1024
2819 set remote memory-read-packet-size fixed
2820 @end example
2821 This is now handled in the @option{qSupported} PacketSize.
2822
2823 @section Programming using gdb
2824 @cindex Programming using gdb
2825
2826 By default the target memory map is sent to gdb, this can be disabled by
2827 the following OpenOCD config option:
2828 @example
2829 gdb_memory_map disable
2830 @end example
2831 For this to function correctly a valid flash config must also be configured
2832 in OpenOCD. For faster performance you should also configure a valid
2833 working area.
2834
2835 Informing gdb of the memory map of the target will enable gdb to protect any
2836 flash area of the target and use hardware breakpoints by default. This means
2837 that the OpenOCD option @option{gdb_breakpoint_override} is not required when
2838 using a memory map. @xref{gdb_breakpoint_override}.
2839
2840 To view the configured memory map in gdb, use the gdb command @option{info mem}
2841 All other unasigned addresses within gdb are treated as RAM.
2842
2843 GDB 6.8 and higher set any memory area not in the memory map as inaccessible,
2844 this can be changed to the old behaviour by using the following gdb command.
2845 @example
2846 set mem inaccessible-by-default off
2847 @end example
2848
2849 If @option{gdb_flash_program enable} is also used, gdb will be able to
2850 program any flash memory using the vFlash interface.
2851
2852 gdb will look at the target memory map when a load command is given, if any
2853 areas to be programmed lie within the target flash area the vFlash packets
2854 will be used.
2855
2856 If the target needs configuring before gdb programming, an event
2857 script can be executed.
2858 @example
2859 $_TARGETNAME configure -event EVENTNAME BODY
2860 @end example
2861
2862 To verify any flash programming the gdb command @option{compare-sections}
2863 can be used.

2865 @node TCL scripting API
2866 @chapter TCL scripting API
2867 @cindex TCL scripting API
2868 API rules
2869
2870 The commands are stateless. E.g. the telnet command line has a concept
2871 of currently active target, the Tcl API proc's take this sort of state
2872 information as an argument to each proc.
2873
2874 There are three main types of return values: single value, name value
2875 pair list and lists.
2876
2877 Name value pair. The proc 'foo' below returns a name/value pair
2878 list.
2879
2880 @verbatim
2881
2882 > set foo(me) Duane
2883 > set foo(you) Oyvind
2884 > set foo(mouse) Micky
2885 > set foo(duck) Donald
2886
2887 If one does this:
2888
2889 > set foo
2890
2891 The result is:
2892
2893 me Duane you Oyvind mouse Micky duck Donald
2894
2895 Thus, to get the names of the associative array is easy:
2896
2897 foreach { name value } [set foo] {
2898 puts "Name: $name, Value: $value"
2899 }
2900 @end verbatim
2901
2902 Lists returned must be relatively small. Otherwise a range
2903 should be passed in to the proc in question.
2904
2905 Low level commands are prefixed with "openocd_", e.g. openocd_flash_banks
2906 is the low level API upon which "flash banks" is implemented.

2989 @item @b{RTCK, also known as: Adaptive Clocking - What is it?}
2990 @cindex RTCK
2991 @cindex adaptive clocking
2992 @*
2993
2994 In digital circuit design it is often refered to as ``clock
2995 syncronization'' the JTAG interface uses one clock (TCK or TCLK)
2996 operating at some speed, your target is operating at another. The two
2997 clocks are not syncronized, they are ``asynchronous''
2998
2999 In order for the two to work together they must syncronize. Otherwise
3000 the two systems will get out of sync with each other and nothing will
3001 work. There are 2 basic options. @b{1.} use a special circuit or
3002 @b{2.} one clock must be some multile slower the the other.
3003
3004 @b{Does this really matter?} For some chips and some situations, this
3005 is a non-issue (ie: A 500mhz ARM926) but for others - for example some
3006 ATMEL SAM7 and SAM9 chips start operation from reset at 32khz -
3007 program/enable the oscillators and eventually the main clock. It is in
3008 those critical times you must slow the jtag clock to sometimes 1 to
3009 4khz.
3010
3011 Imagine debugging that 500mhz arm926 hand held battery powered device
3012 that ``deep sleeps'' at 32khz between every keystroke. It can be
3013 painful.
3014
3015 @b{Solution #1 - A special circuit}
3016
3017 In order to make use of this your jtag dongle must support the RTCK
3018 feature. Not all dongles support this - keep reading!
3019
3020 The RTCK signal often found in some ARM chips is used to help with
3021 this problem. ARM has a good description of the problem described at
3022 this link: @url{http://www.arm.com/support/faqdev/4170.html} [checked
3023 28/nov/2008]. Link title: ``How does the jtag synchronisation logic
3024 work? / how does adaptive clocking working?''.
3025
3026 The nice thing about adaptive clocking is that ``battery powered hand
3027 held device example'' - the adaptiveness works perfectly all the
3028 time. One can set a break point or halt the system in the deep power
3029 down code, slow step out until the system speeds up.
3030
3031 @b{Solution #2 - Always works - but is slower}
3032
3033 Often this is a perfectly acceptable solution.
3034
3035 In the most simple terms: Often the JTAG clock must be 1/10 to 1/12 of
3036 the target clock speed. But what is that ``magic division'' it varies
3037 depending upon the chips on your board. @b{ARM Rule of thumb} Most ARM
3038 based systems require an 8:1 division. @b{Xilinx Rule of thumb} is
3039 1/12 the clock speed.
3040
3041 Note: Many FTDI2232C based JTAG dongles are limited to 6mhz.
3042
3043 You can still debug the 'lower power' situations - you just need to
3044 manually adjust the clock speed at every step. While painful and
3045 teadious, it is not always practical.
3046
3047 It is however easy to ``code your way around it'' - ie: Cheat a little
3048 have a special debug mode in your application that does a ``high power
3049 sleep''. If you are careful - 98% of your problems can be debugged
3050 this way.
3051
3052 To set the JTAG frequency use the command:
3053
3054 @example
3055 # Example: 1.234mhz
3056 jtag_khz 1234
3057 @end example
3058
3059
3060 @item @b{Win32 Pathnames} Why does not backslashes in paths under Windows doesn't work?
3061
3062 OpenOCD uses Tcl and a backslash is an escape char. Use @{ and @}
3063 around Windows filenames.
3064
3065 @example
3066 > echo \a
3067
3068 > echo @{\a@}
3069 \a
3070 > echo "\a"
3071
3072 >
3073 @end example
3074
3075
3076 @item @b{Missing: cygwin1.dll} OpenOCD complains about a missing cygwin1.dll.
3077
3078 Make sure you have Cygwin installed, or at least a version of OpenOCD that
3079 claims to come with all the necessary dlls. When using Cygwin, try launching
3080 OpenOCD from the Cygwin shell.
3081
3082 @item @b{Breakpoint Issue} I'm trying to set a breakpoint using GDB (or a frontend like Insight or
3083 Eclipse), but OpenOCD complains that "Info: arm7_9_common.c:213
3084 arm7_9_add_breakpoint(): sw breakpoint requested, but software breakpoints not enabled".
3085
3086 GDB issues software breakpoints when a normal breakpoint is requested, or to implement
3087 source-line single-stepping. On ARMv4T systems, like ARM7TDMI, ARM720t or ARM920t,
3088 software breakpoints consume one of the two available hardware breakpoints.
3089
3090 @item @b{LPC2000 Flash} When erasing or writing LPC2000 on-chip flash, the operation fails sometimes
3091 and works sometimes fine.
3092
3093 Make sure the core frequency specified in the @option{flash lpc2000} line matches the
3094 clock at the time you're programming the flash. If you've specified the crystal's
3095 frequency, make sure the PLL is disabled, if you've specified the full core speed
3096 (e.g. 60MHz), make sure the PLL is enabled.
3097
3098 @item @b{Amontec Chameleon} When debugging using an Amontec Chameleon in its JTAG Accelerator configuration,
3099 I keep getting "Error: amt_jtagaccel.c:184 amt_wait_scan_busy(): amt_jtagaccel timed
3100 out while waiting for end of scan, rtck was disabled".
3101
3102 Make sure your PC's parallel port operates in EPP mode. You might have to try several
3103 settings in your PC BIOS (ECP, EPP, and different versions of those).
3104
3105 @item @b{Data Aborts} When debugging with OpenOCD and GDB (plain GDB, Insight, or Eclipse),
3106 I get lots of "Error: arm7_9_common.c:1771 arm7_9_read_memory():
3107 memory read caused data abort".
3108
3109 The errors are non-fatal, and are the result of GDB trying to trace stack frames
3110 beyond the last valid frame. It might be possible to prevent this by setting up
3111 a proper "initial" stack frame, if you happen to know what exactly has to
3112 be done, feel free to add this here.
3113
3114 @b{Simple:} In your startup code - push 8 registers of ZEROs onto the
3115 stack before calling main(). What GDB is doing is ``climbing'' the run
3116 time stack by reading various values on the stack using the standard
3117 call frame for the target. GDB keeps going - until one of 2 things
3118 happen @b{#1} an invalid frame is found, or @b{#2} some huge number of
3119 stackframes have been processed. By pushing ZEROs on the stack, GDB
3120 gracefully stops.
3121
3122 @b{Debugging Interrupt Service Routines} - In your ISR before you call
3123 your C code, do the same, artifically push some zeros on to the stack,
3124 remember to pop them off when the ISR is done.
3125
3126 @b{Also note:} If you have a multi-threaded operating system, they
3127 often do not @b{in the intrest of saving memory} waste these few
3128 bytes. Painful...
3129
3130
3131 @item @b{JTAG Reset Config} I get the following message in the OpenOCD console (or log file):
3132 "Warning: arm7_9_common.c:679 arm7_9_assert_reset(): srst resets test logic, too".
3133
3134 This warning doesn't indicate any serious problem, as long as you don't want to
3135 debug your core right out of reset. Your .cfg file specified @option{jtag_reset
3136 trst_and_srst srst_pulls_trst} to tell OpenOCD that either your board,
3137 your debugger or your target uC (e.g. LPC2000) can't assert the two reset signals
3138 independently. With this setup, it's not possible to halt the core right out of
3139 reset, everything else should work fine.
3140
3141 @item @b{USB Power} When using OpenOCD in conjunction with Amontec JTAGkey and the Yagarto
3142 Toolchain (Eclipse, arm-elf-gcc, arm-elf-gdb), the debugging seems to be
3143 unstable. When single-stepping over large blocks of code, GDB and OpenOCD
3144 quit with an error message. Is there a stability issue with OpenOCD?
3145
3146 No, this is not a stability issue concerning OpenOCD. Most users have solved
3147 this issue by simply using a self-powered USB hub, which they connect their
3148 Amontec JTAGkey to. Apparently, some computers do not provide a USB power
3149 supply stable enough for the Amontec JTAGkey to be operated.
3150
3151 @b{Laptops running on battery have this problem too...}
3152
3153 @item @b{USB Power} When using the Amontec JTAGkey, sometimes OpenOCD crashes with the
3154 following error messages: "Error: ft2232.c:201 ft2232_read(): FT_Read returned:
3155 4" and "Error: ft2232.c:365 ft2232_send_and_recv(): couldn't read from FT2232".
3156 What does that mean and what might be the reason for this?
3157
3158 First of all, the reason might be the USB power supply. Try using a self-powered
3159 hub instead of a direct connection to your computer. Secondly, the error code 4
3160 corresponds to an FT_IO_ERROR, which means that the driver for the FTDI USB
3161 chip ran into some sort of error - this points us to a USB problem.
3162
3163 @item @b{GDB Disconnects} When using the Amontec JTAGkey, sometimes OpenOCD crashes with the following
3164 error message: "Error: gdb_server.c:101 gdb_get_char(): read: 10054".
3165 What does that mean and what might be the reason for this?
3166
3167 Error code 10054 corresponds to WSAECONNRESET, which means that the debugger (GDB)
3168 has closed the connection to OpenOCD. This might be a GDB issue.
3169
3170 @item @b{LPC2000 Flash} In the configuration file in the section where flash device configurations
3171 are described, there is a parameter for specifying the clock frequency
3172 for LPC2000 internal flash devices (e.g. @option{flash bank lpc2000
3173 0x0 0x40000 0 0 0 lpc2000_v1 14746 calc_checksum}), which must be
3174 specified in kilohertz. However, I do have a quartz crystal of a
3175 frequency that contains fractions of kilohertz (e.g. 14,745,600 Hz,
3176 i.e. 14,745.600 kHz). Is it possible to specify real numbers for the
3177 clock frequency?
3178
3179 No. The clock frequency specified here must be given as an integral number.
3180 However, this clock frequency is used by the In-Application-Programming (IAP)
3181 routines of the LPC2000 family only, which seems to be very tolerant concerning
3182 the given clock frequency, so a slight difference between the specified clock
3183 frequency and the actual clock frequency will not cause any trouble.
3184
3185 @item @b{Command Order} Do I have to keep a specific order for the commands in the configuration file?
3186
3187 Well, yes and no. Commands can be given in arbitrary order, yet the
3188 devices listed for the JTAG scan chain must be given in the right
3189 order (jtag newdevice), with the device closest to the TDO-Pin being
3190 listed first. In general, whenever objects of the same type exist
3191 which require an index number, then these objects must be given in the
3192 right order (jtag newtap, targets and flash banks - a target
3193 references a jtag newtap and a flash bank references a target).
3194
3195 You can use the ``scan_chain'' command to verify and display the tap order.
3196
3197 @item @b{JTAG Tap Order} JTAG Tap Order - Command Order
3198
3199 Many newer devices have multiple JTAG taps. For example: ST
3200 Microsystems STM32 chips have two taps, a ``boundary scan tap'' and
3201 ``cortexM3'' tap. Example: The STM32 reference manual, Document ID:
3202 RM0008, Section 26.5, Figure 259, page 651/681, the ``TDI'' pin is
3203 connected to the Boundary Scan Tap, which then connects to the
3204 CortexM3 Tap, which then connects to the TDO pin.
3205
3206 Thus, the proper order for the STM32 chip is: (1) The CortexM3, then
3207 (2) The Boundary Scan Tap. If your board includes an additional JTAG
3208 chip in the scan chain (for example a Xilinx CPLD or FPGA) you could
3209 place it before or after the stm32 chip in the chain. For example:
3210
3211 @itemize @bullet
3212 @item OpenOCD_TDI(output) -> STM32 TDI Pin (BS Input)
3213 @item STM32 BS TDO (output) -> STM32 CortexM3 TDI (input)
3214 @item STM32 CortexM3 TDO (output) -> SM32 TDO Pin
3215 @item STM32 TDO Pin (output) -> Xilinx TDI Pin (input)
3216 @item Xilinx TDO Pin -> OpenOCD TDO (input)
3217 @end itemize
3218
3219 The ``jtag device'' commands would thus be in the order shown below. Note
3220
3221 @itemize @bullet
3222 @item jtag newtap Xilinx tap -irlen ...
3223 @item jtag newtap stm32 cpu -irlen ...
3224 @item jtag newtap stm32 bs -irlen ...
3225 @item # Create the debug target and say where it is
3226 @item target create stm32.cpu -chain-position stm32.cpu ...
3227 @end itemize
3228

3230 @item @b{SYSCOMP} Sometimes my debugging session terminates with an error. When I look into the
3231 log file, I can see these error messages: Error: arm7_9_common.c:561

3242 Not everyone knows TCL - this is not intended to be a replacement for
3243 learning TCL, the intent of this chapter is to give you some idea of
3244 how the TCL Scripts work.
3245
3246 This chapter is written with two audiences in mind. (1) OpenOCD users
3247 who need to understand a bit more of how JIM-Tcl works so they can do
3248 something useful, and (2) those that want to add a new command to
3249 OpenOCD.

3251 @section TCL Rule #1
3252 There is a famous joke, it goes like this:
3253 @enumerate
3254 @item Rule #1: The wife is aways correct
3255 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
3256 @end enumerate
3257
3258 The TCL equal is this:
3259
3260 @enumerate
3261 @item Rule #1: Everything is a string
3262 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
3263 @end enumerate
3264
3265 As in the famous joke, the consiquences of Rule #1 are profound. Once
3266 you understand Rule #1, you will understand TCL.
3267
3268 @section TCL Rule #1b
3269 There is a second pair of rules.
3270 @enumerate
3271 @item Rule #1: Control flow does not exist. Only commands
3272 @* For example: the classic FOR loop or IF statement is not a control
3273 flow item, they are commands, there is no such thing as control flow
3274 in TCL.
3275 @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
3276 @* Actually what happens is this: There are commands that by
3277 convention, act like control flow key words in other languages. One of
3278 those commands is the word ``for'', another command is ``if''.
3279 @end enumerate
3280
3281 @section Per Rule #1 - All Results are strings
3282 Every TCL command results in a string. The word ``result'' is used
3283 deliberatly. No result is just an empty string. Remember: @i{Rule #1 -
3284 Everything is a string}
3285
3286 @section TCL Quoting Operators
3287 In life of a TCL script, there are two important periods of time, the
3288 difference is subtle.
3289 @enumerate
3290 @item Parse Time
3291 @item Evaluation Time
3292 @end enumerate
3293
3294 The two key items here are how ``quoted things'' work in TCL. TCL has
3295 three primary quoting constructs, the [square-brackets] the
3296 @{curly-braces@} and ``double-quotes''
3297
3298 By now you should know $VARIABLES always start with a $DOLLAR
3299 sign. BTW, to set a variable, you actually use the command ``set'', as
3300 in ``set VARNAME VALUE'' much like the ancient BASIC langauge ``let x
3301 = 1'' statement, but without the equal sign.
3302
3303 @itemize @bullet
3304 @item @b{[square-brackets]}
3305 @* @b{[square-brackets]} are command subsitution. It operates much
3306 like Unix Shell `back-ticks`. The result of a [square-bracket]
3307 operation is exactly 1 string. @i{Remember Rule #1 - Everything is a
3308 string}. These two statments are roughly identical.
3309 @example
3310 # bash example
3311 X=`date`
3312 echo "The Date is: $X"
3313 # TCL example
3314 set X [date]
3315 puts "The Date is: $X"
3316 @end example
3317 @item @b{``double-quoted-things''}
3318 @* @b{``double-quoted-things''} are just simply quoted
3319 text. $VARIABLES and [square-brackets] are expanded in place - the
3320 result however is exactly 1 string. @i{Remember Rule #1 - Everything
3321 is a string}
3322 @example
3323 set x "Dinner"
3324 puts "It is now \"[date]\", $x is in 1 hour"
3325 @end example
3326 @item @b{@{Curly-Braces@}}
3327 @*@b{@{Curly-Braces@}} are magic: $VARIABLES and [square-brackets] are
3328 parsed, but are NOT expanded or executed. @{Curly-Braces@} are like
3329 'single-quote' operators in BASH shell scripts, with the added
3330 feature: @{curly-braces@} nest, single quotes can not. @{@{@{this is
3331 nested 3 times@}@}@} NOTE: [date] is perhaps a bad example, as of
3332 28/nov/2008, Jim/OpenOCD does not have a date command.
3333 @end itemize
3334
3335 @section Consiquences of Rule 1/2/3/4
3336
3337 The consiquences of Rule 1 is profound.
3338
3339 @subsection Tokenizing & Execution.
3340
3341 Of course, whitespace, blank lines and #comment lines are handled in
3342 the normal way.
3343
3344 As a script is parsed, each (multi) line in the script file is
3345 tokenized and according to the quoting rules. After tokenizing, that
3346 line is immedatly executed.
3347
3348 Multi line statements end with one or more ``still-open''
3349 @{curly-braces@} which - eventually - a few lines later closes.
3350
3351 @subsection Command Execution
3352
3353 Remember earlier: There is no such thing as ``control flow''
3354 statements in TCL. Instead there are COMMANDS that simpily act like
3355 control flow operators.
3356
3357 Commands are executed like this:
3358
3359 @enumerate
3360 @item Parse the next line into (argc) and (argv[]).
3361 @item Look up (argv[0]) in a table and call its function.
3362 @item Repeat until End Of File.
3363 @end enumerate
3364
3365 It sort of works like this:
3366 @example
3367 for(;;)@{
3368 ReadAndParse( &argc, &argv );
3369
3370 cmdPtr = LookupCommand( argv[0] );
3371
3372 (*cmdPtr->Execute)( argc, argv );
3373 @}
3374 @end example
3375
3376 When the command ``proc'' is parsed (which creates a procedure
3377 function) it gets 3 parameters on the command line. @b{1} the name of
3378 the proc (function), @b{2} the list of parameters, and @b{3} the body
3379 of the function. Not the choice of words: LIST and BODY. The PROC
3380 command stores these items in a table somewhere so it can be found by
3381 ``LookupCommand()''
3382
3383 @subsection The FOR Command
3384
3385 The most interesting command to look at is the FOR command. In TCL,
3386 the FOR command is normally implimented in C. Remember, FOR is a
3387 command just like any other command.
3388
3389 When the ascii text containing the FOR command is parsed, the parser
3390 produces 5 parameter strings, @i{(If in doubt: Refer to Rule #1)} they
3391 are:
3392
3393 @enumerate 0
3394 @item The ascii text 'for'
3395 @item The start text
3396 @item The test expression
3397 @item The next text
3398 @item The body text
3399 @end enumerate
3400
3401 Sort of reminds you of ``main( int argc, char **argv )'' does it not?
3402 Remember @i{Rule #1 - Everything is a string.} The key point is this:
3403 Often many of those parameters are in @{curly-braces@} - thus the
3404 variables inside are not expanded or replaced until later.
3405
3406 Remember that every TCL command looks like the classic ``main( argc,
3407 argv )'' function in C. In JimTCL - they actually look like this:
3408
3409 @example
3410 int
3411 MyCommand( Jim_Interp *interp,
3412 int *argc,
3413 Jim_Obj * const *argvs );
3414 @end example
3415
3416 Real TCL is nearly identical. Although the newer versions have
3417 introduced a byte-code parser and intepreter, but at the core, it
3418 still operates in the same basic way.

3420 @subsection FOR Command Implimentation
3421
3422 To understand TCL it is perhaps most helpful to see the FOR
3423 command. Remember, it is a COMMAND not a control flow structure.
3424
3425 In TCL there are two underying C helper functions.
3426
3427 Remember Rule #1 - You are a string.
3428
3429 The @b{first} helper parses and executes commands found in an ascii
3430 string. Commands can be seperated by semi-colons, or newlines. While
3431 parsing, variables are expanded per the quoting rules
3432
3433 The @b{second} helper evaluates an ascii string as a numerical
3434 expression and returns a value.
3435
3436 Here is an example of how the @b{FOR} command could be
3437 implimented. The pseudo code below does not show error handling.
3438 @example
3439 void Execute_AsciiString( void *interp, const char *string );
3440
3441 int Evaluate_AsciiExpression( void *interp, const char *string );
3442
3443 int
3444 MyForCommand( void *interp,
3445 int argc,
3446 char **argv )
3447 @{
3448 if( argc != 5 )@{
3449 SetResult( interp, "WRONG number of parameters");
3450 return ERROR;
3451 @}
3452
3453 // argv[0] = the ascii string just like C
3454
3455 // Execute the start statement.
3456 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[1] );
3457
3458 // Top of loop test
3459 for(;;)@{
3460 i = Evaluate_AsciiExpression(interp, argv[2]);
3461 if( i == 0 )
3462 break;
3463
3464 // Execute the body
3465 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[3] );
3466
3467 // Execute the LOOP part
3468 Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[4] );
3469 @}
3470
3471 // Return no error
3472 SetResult( interp, "" );
3473 return SUCCESS;
3474 @}
3475 @end example
3476
3477 Every other command IF, WHILE, FORMAT, PUTS, EXPR, everything works
3478 in the same basic way.
3479
3480 @section OpenOCD TCL Usage
3481
3482 @subsection source and find commands
3483 @b{Where:} In many configuration files
3484 @* Example: @b{ source [find FILENAME] }
3485 @*Remember the parsing rules
3486 @enumerate
3487 @item The FIND command is in square brackets.
3488 @* The FIND command is executed with the parameter FILENAME. It should
3489 find the full path to the named file. The RESULT is a string, which is
3490 subsituted on the orginal command line.
3491 @item The command source is executed with the resulting filename.
3492 @* SOURCE reads a file and executes as a script.
3493 @end enumerate
3494 @subsection format command
3495 @b{Where:} Generally occurs in numerous places.
3496 @* TCL no command like @b{printf()}, intead it has @b{format}, which is really more like
3497 @b{sprintf()}.
3498 @b{Example}
3499 @example
3500 set x 6
3501 set y 7
3502 puts [format "The answer: %d" [expr $x * $y]]
3503 @end example
3504 @enumerate
3505 @item The SET command creates 2 variables, X and Y.
3506 @item The double [nested] EXPR command performs math
3507 @* The EXPR command produces numerical result as a string.
3508 @* Refer to Rule #1
3509 @item The format command is executed, producing a single string
3510 @* Refer to Rule #1.
3511 @item The PUTS command outputs the text.
3512 @end enumerate
3513 @subsection Body Or Inlined Text
3514 @b{Where:} Various TARGET scripts.
3515 @example
3516 #1 Good
3517 proc someproc @{@} @{
3518 ... multiple lines of stuff ...
3519 @}
3520 $_TARGETNAME configure -event FOO someproc
3521 #2 Good - no variables
3522 $_TARGETNAME confgure -event foo "this ; that;"
3523 #3 Good Curly Braces
3524 $_TARGETNAME configure -event FOO @{
3525 puts "Time: [date]"
3526 @}
3527 #4 DANGER DANGER DANGER
3528 $_TARGETNAME configure -event foo "puts \"Time: [date]\""
3529 @end example
3530 @enumerate
3531 @item The $_TARGETNAME is an OpenOCD variable convention.
3532 @*@b{$_TARGETNAME} represents the last target created, the value changes
3533 each time a new target is created. Remember the parsing rules. When
3534 the ascii text is parsed, the @b{$_TARGETNAME} becomes a simple string,
3535 the name of the target which happens to be a TARGET (object)
3536 command.
3537 @item The 2nd parameter to the @option{-event} parameter is a TCBODY
3538 @*There are 4 examples:
3539 @enumerate
3540 @item The TCLBODY is a simple string that happens to be a proc name
3541 @item The TCLBODY is several simple commands semi-colon seperated
3542 @item The TCLBODY is a multi-line @{curly-brace@} quoted string
3543 @item The TCLBODY is a string with variables that get expanded.
3544 @end enumerate
3545
3546 In the end, when the target event FOO occurs the TCLBODY is
3547 evaluated. Method @b{#1} and @b{#2} are functionally identical. For
3548 Method @b{#3} and @b{#4} it is more interesting. What is the TCLBODY?
3549
3550 Remember the parsing rules. In case #3, @{curly-braces@} mean the
3551 $VARS and [square-brackets] are expanded later, when the EVENT occurs,
3552 and the text is evaluated. In case #4, they are replaced before the
3553 ``Target Object Command'' is executed. This occurs at the same time
3554 $_TARGETNAME is replaced. In case #4 the date will never
3555 change. @{BTW: [date] is perhaps a bad example, as of 28/nov/2008,
3556 Jim/OpenOCD does not have a date command@}
3557 @end enumerate
3558 @subsection Global Variables
3559 @b{Where:} You might discover this when writing your own procs @* In
3560 simple terms: Inside a PROC, if you need to access a global variable
3561 you must say so. Also see ``upvar''. Example:
3562 @example
3563 proc myproc @{ @} @{
3564 set y 0 #Local variable Y
3565 global x #Global variable X
3566 puts [format "X=%d, Y=%d" $x $y]
3567 @}
3568 @end example
3569 @section Other Tcl Hacks
3570 @b{Dynamic Variable Creation}
3571 @example
3572 # Dynamically create a bunch of variables.
3573 for @{ set x 0 @} @{ $x < 32 @} @{ set x [expr $x + 1]@} @{
3574 # Create var name
3575 set vn [format "BIT%d" $x]
3576 # Make it a global
3577 global $vn
3578 # Set it.
3579 set $vn [expr (1 << $x)]
3580 @}
3581 @end example
3582 @b{Dynamic Proc/Command Creation}
3583 @example
3584 # One "X" function - 5 uart functions.
3585 foreach who @{A B C D E@}
3586 proc [format "show_uart%c" $who] @{ @} "show_UARTx $who"
3587 @}
3588 @end example

3590 @node Target library
3591 @chapter Target library
3592 @cindex Target library
3593
3594 OpenOCD comes with a target configuration script library. These scripts can be
3595 used as-is or serve as a starting point.
3596
3597 The target library is published together with the openocd executable and
3598 the path to the target library is in the OpenOCD script search path.
3599 Similarly there are example scripts for configuring the JTAG interface.
3600
3601 The command line below uses the example parport configuration scripts
3602 that ship with OpenOCD, then configures the str710.cfg target and
3603 finally issues the init and reset command. The communication speed
3604 is set to 10kHz for reset and 8MHz for post reset.
3605
3606
3607 @example
3608 openocd -f interface/parport.cfg -f target/str710.cfg -c "init" -c "reset"
3609 @end example
3610
3611
3612 To list the target scripts available:
