/** @mainpage OpenOCD Developer's Guide Welcome to the OpenOCD Developer's Guide -- the developer's resource for learning about the internal architecture of the OpenOCD project. @par In addition, this document contains the tactical and strategic plans and processes that have been developed by and for the OpenOCD community. Developers that want to contribute to OpenOCD should read the following sections before starting work: - The List of @subpage thelist enumerates opportunities for improving or extending the OpenOCD platform. If your ideas are on The List, you might check the mailing list archives to find the status of your feature (or bug). - The @subpage styleguide provides rules that developers should follow when writing new code for OpenOCD. - The @subpage patchguide provides policies that developers should follow when submitting patches to the project. - The @subpage bugs page contains the content of the BUGS file, which provides instructions for submitting bug reports to the maintainers. - The @subpage releases page describes the project's release process. @ref primer provide introductory materials for new developers on various specific topics. Finally, the @ref oocd pages explain how the code has been organized into layers of APIs, providing an overview of how they fit together. These pages attempt to give developers a high-level perspective of the various code modules provided by OpenOCD. */ /** @page primer OpenOCD Technical Primers This pages lists Technical Primers available for OpenOCD Developers. They seek to provide information to pull novices up the learning curves associated with the fundamental technologies used by OpenOCD. - @subpage primerdocs - @subpage primerautotools - @subpage primertcl - @subpage primerjtag The above documents should bridge any "ancillary" gaps in contributor knowledge, without having to learn the complete languages or technology. They should provide enough information for experienced developers to learn how to make "correct" changes when creating patches. Beyond the fundamentals, the following primers provide introductory tutorials for OpenOCD's sub-systems. These complement the @ref oocd pages that provide more high-level perspective on related topics. - @subpage primercommand In all cases, these Primers should use idiomatic conventions that the community has agreed are the "right way of doing things". In this respect, these documents typically assume some familiarity with the information contained in one or more @ref styleguide, or they will directly refer to specific style guides as supplemental reading. Contributions or suggestions for new Technical Primers are welcome. */ /** @page oocd OpenOCD Architecture The OpenOCD library consists of several APIs that build together to provide the support functionality. The following list shows how these modules are stacked in the current implementation (from bottom to top): - @subpage helperdocs - @ref helperporting - @ref helperjim - @ref helpercommand - @ref helperlogging - @subpage jtagdocs - @ref jtagcore - @ref jtagtcl - @ref jtagcmd - @ref jtagiface - @ref jtagdriver - @subpage targetdocs - @ref targetarm - @ref targetnotarm - @ref targetmips - @ref targetregister - @ref targetimage - @ref targettrace - @subpage flashdocs - @ref flashcfi - @ref flashnand - @ref flashtarget - @subpage serverdocs - @ref servergdb - @ref servertelnet - @ref serverhttp - @subpage appdocs Obviously, there are some nuances to the stack that are not shown by this linear list of layers. The List of @ref thelist enumerates opportunities for improving or extending the OpenOCD platform. */
