+This file includes highlights of the changes made in the OpenOCD
+source archive release.
JTAG Layer:
- Support KT-Link JTAG adapter.
- Support USB-JTAG, Altera USB-Blaster and compatibles.
Boundary Scan:
Target Layer:
- General
- - Removed commands which have been obsolete for at least
- a year (from both documentation and, sometimes, code).
- - new "reset-assert" event, for systems without SRST
- ARM
- - supports "reset-assert" event (except on Cortex-M3)
- - renamed "armv4_5" command prefix as "arm"
- - recognize TrustZone "Secure Monitor" mode
- - "arm regs" command output changed
- - register names use "sp" not "r13"
- - add top-level "mcr" and "mrc" commands, replacing
- various core-specific operations
- - basic semihosting support (ARM7/ARM9 only, for now)
- ARM11
- - Should act much more like other ARM cores:
- * Preliminary ETM and ETB hookup
- * accelerated "flash erase_check"
- * accelerated GDB memory checksum
- * support "arm regs" command
- * can access all core modes and registers
- * watchpoint support
- - Shares some core debug code with Cortex-A8
- Cortex-A8
- - Should act much more like other ARM cores:
- * support "arm regs" command
- * can access all core modes and registers
- * watchpoint support
- - Shares some core debug code with ARM11
- Cortex-M3
- - Exposed DWT registers like cycle counter
- - vector_catch settings not clobbered by resets
- - no longer interferes with firmware's fault handling
- ETM, ETB
- - "trigger_percent" command moved ETM --> ETB
- - "etm trigger_debug" command added
- MIPS
- - use fastdata writes
- Freescale DSP563xx cores (partial support)
Flash Layer:
- 'flash bank' and 'nand device' take <bank_name> as first argument.
- With this, flash/NAND commands allow referencing banks by name:
- - <bank_name>: reference the bank with its defined name
- - <driver_name>[.N]: reference the driver's Nth bank
- New 'nand verify' command to check bank against an image file.
- The "flash erase_address" command now rejects partial sectors;
- previously it would silently erase extra data. If you
- want to erase the rest of the first and/or last sectors
- instead of failing, you must pass an explicit "pad" flag.
- New at91sam9 NAND controller driver.
- New s3c64xx NAND controller driver.
Board, Target, and Interface Configuration Scripts:
- ARM9
- - ETM and ETB hookup for iMX2* targets
- Add $HOME/.openocd to the search path.
- Handle Rev C of LM3S811 eval boards.
- - use "luminary-lm3s811.cfg" for older boards
- - use "luminary.cfg" for RevC and newer
-Core Jim/TCL Scripting:
- New 'usage' command to provide terse command help.
- Improved command 'help' command output (sorted and indented).
- Improved command handling:
- - Most boolean settings now accept any of the following:
- on/off, enable/disable, true/false, yes/no, 1/0
- - More error checking and reporting.
+Server Layer:
Documentation:
- New built-in command development documentation and primer.
Build and Release:
- Use --enable-doxygen-pdf to build PDF developer documentation.
- Consider upgrading to libftdi 0.17 if you use that library; it
- includes bugfixes which improve FT2232H support.
