The following tasks have been suggested for cleaning up the JTAG layer:
- use tap_set_state everywhere to allow logging TAP state transitions
-- rename other tap_states to use standard JTAG names (suggested by ML)
- Encapsulate cmd_queue_cur_state and related varaible handling.
- add slick 32 bit versions of jtag_add_xxx_scan() that avoids
buf_set_u32() calls and other evidence of poor impedance match between
The following tasks have been suggested for adding new JTAG interfaces:
- TCP driver: allow client/server for remote JTAG interface control.
+This requires a client and a server. The server is built into the
+normal OpenOCD and takes commands from the client and executes
+them on the interface returning the result of TCP/IP. The client
+is an OpenOCD which is built with a TCP/IP minidriver. The use
+of a minidriver is required to capture all the jtag_add_xxx()
+fn's at a high enough level and repackage these cmd's as
+TCP/IP packets handled by the server.

- add reset option to allow programming embedded ice while srst is asserted.
Some CPUs will gate the JTAG clock when srst is asserted and in this case,
it is necessary to program embedded ice and then assert srst afterwards.
