This file includes highlights of the changes made in the OpenOCD 0.5.0 source archive release. See the repository history for details about what changed, including bugfixes and other issues not mentioned here. JTAG Layer: New driver for "Bus Pirate" Rename various commands so they're not JTAG-specific There are migration procedures for most of these, but you should convert your scripts to the new names, since those procedures will not be around forever. jtag jinterface ... is now adapter_name jtag_khz ... is now adapter_khz jtag_nsrst_delay ... is now adapter_nsrst_delay jtag_nsrst_assert_width ... is now adapter_nsrst_assert_width Support Voipac VPACLink JTAG Adapter. Boundary Scan: Transport framework core ... supporting future work for SWD, SPI, and other non-JTAG ways to debug targets or program flash. Target Layer: ARM: - basic semihosting support for ARMv7M. - renamed "armv7m" command prefix as "arm" MIPS: - "ejtag_srst" variant removed. The same functionality is obtained by using "reset_config none". - added PIC32MX software reset support, this means srst is not required to be connected anymore. OTHER: - preliminary AVR32 AP7000 support. Flash Layer: New "stellaris recover" command, implements the procedure to recover locked devices (restoring non-volatile state to the factory defaults, including erasing the flash and its protection bits, and possibly re-enabling hardware debugging). PIC32MX now uses algorithm for flash programming, this has increased the performance by approx 96%. New 'pic32mx unlock' cmd to remove readout protection. New STM32 Value Line Support. New 'virtual' flash driver, used to associate other addresses with a flash bank. See pic32mx.cfg for usage. New iMX27 NAND flash controller driver. Board, Target, and Interface Configuration Scripts: Support IAR LPC1768 kickstart board (by Olimex) Support Voipac PXA270/PXA270M module. New $PARPORTADDR tcl variable used to change default parallel port address used. Remove lm3s811.cfg; use "stellaris.cfg" instead Core Jim/TCL Scripting: New "add_script_search_dir" command, behaviour is the same as the "-s" cmd line option.
