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

  99. OpenOCD was created by Dominic Rath as part of a diploma thesis written at the
  100. University of Applied Sciences Augsburg (@uref{http://www.fh-augsburg.de}).
  101. Others interested in improving the state of free and open debug and testing technology
  102. are welcome to participate.
  103. Other developers have contributed support for additional targets and flashes as well
  104. as numerous bugfixes and enhancements. See the AUTHORS file for regular contributors.
  105. The main OpenOCD web site is available at @uref{http://openocd.berlios.de/web/}
  106. @node Building
  107. @chapter Building
  108. @cindex building OpenOCD
  109. If you are interested in getting actual work done rather than building
  110. OpenOCD, then check if your interface supplier provides binaries for
  111. you. Chances are that that binary is from some SVN version that is more
  112. stable than SVN trunk where bleeding edge development takes place.
  113. You can download the current SVN version with SVN client of your choice from the
  114. following repositories:
  115. (@uref{svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk})
  116. or
  117. (@uref{http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/openocd/trunk})
  118. Using the SVN command line client, you can use the following command to fetch the
  119. latest version (make sure there is no (non-svn) directory called "openocd" in the
  120. current directory):
  121. @example
  122. svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk openocd
  123. @end example
  124. Building OpenOCD requires a recent version of the GNU autotools.
  125. On my build system, I'm using autoconf 2.13 and automake 1.9. For building on Windows,
  126. you have to use Cygwin. Make sure that your @env{PATH} environment variable contains no
  127. other locations with Unix utils (like UnxUtils) - these can't handle the Cygwin
  128. paths, resulting in obscure dependency errors (This is an observation I've gathered
  129. from the logs of one user - correct me if I'm wrong).
  130. You further need the appropriate driver files, if you want to build support for
  131. a FTDI FT2232 based interface:
  132. @itemize @bullet
  133. @item @b{ftdi2232} libftdi (@uref{http://www.intra2net.com/opensource/ftdi/})
  134. @item @b{ftd2xx} libftd2xx (@uref{http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm})
  135. @item When using the Amontec JTAGkey, you have to get the drivers from the Amontec
  136. homepage (@uref{www.amontec.com}), as the JTAGkey uses a non-standard VID/PID.
  137. @end itemize
  138. libftdi is supported under windows. Versions earlier than 0.13 will require patching.
  139. see contrib/libftdi for more details.
  140. In general, the D2XX driver provides superior performance (several times as fast),
  141. but has the draw-back of being binary-only - though that isn't that bad, as it isn't
  142. a kernel module, only a user space library.
  143. To build OpenOCD (on both Linux and Cygwin), use the following commands:
  144. @example
  145. ./bootstrap
  146. @end example
  147. Bootstrap generates the configure script, and prepares building on your system.
  148. @example
  149. ./configure
  150. @end example
  151. Configure generates the Makefiles used to build OpenOCD.
  152. @example
  153. make
  154. @end example
  155. Make builds OpenOCD, and places the final executable in ./src/.
  156. The configure script takes several options, specifying which JTAG interfaces
  157. should be included:
  158. @itemize @bullet
  159. @item
  160. @option{--enable-parport}

  184. @item
  185. @option{--enable-jlink}
  186. @end itemize
  187. If you want to access the parallel port using the PPDEV interface you have to specify
  188. both the @option{--enable-parport} AND the @option{--enable-parport_ppdev} option since
  189. the @option{--enable-parport_ppdev} option actually is an option to the parport driver
  190. (see @uref{http://forum.sparkfun.com/viewtopic.php?t=3795} for more info).
  191. Cygwin users have to specify the location of the FTDI D2XX package. This should be an
  192. absolute path containing no spaces.
  193. Linux users should copy the various parts of the D2XX package to the appropriate
  194. locations, i.e. /usr/include, /usr/lib.

  328. --log_output | -l redirect log output to file <name>
  329. --command | -c run <command>
  330. @end verbatim
  331. By default openocd reads the file configuration file ``openocd.cfg''
  332. in the current directory. To specify a different (or multiple)
  333. configuration file, you can use the ``-f'' option. For example:
  334. @example
  335. openocd -f config1.cfg -f config2.cfg -f config3.cfg
  336. @end example
  337. Once started, OpenOCD runs as a daemon, waiting for connections from
  338. clients (Telnet, GDB, Other).
  339. If you are having problems, you can enable internal debug messages via
  340. the ``-d'' option.
  341. Also it is possible to interleave commands w/config scripts using the
  342. @option{-c} command line switch.
  343. To enable debug output (when reporting problems or working on OpenOCD
  344. itself), use the @option{-d} command line switch. This sets the
  345. @option{debug_level} to "3", outputting the most information,
  346. including debug messages. The default setting is "2", outputting only
  347. informational messages, warnings and errors. You can also change this
  348. setting from within a telnet or gdb session using @option{debug_level
  349. <n>} @xref{debug_level}.
  350. You can redirect all output from the daemon to a file using the
  351. @option{-l <logfile>} switch.
  352. Search paths for config/script files can be added to OpenOCD by using
  353. the @option{-s <search>} switch. The current directory and the OpenOCD
  354. target library is in the search path by default.
  355. Note! OpenOCD will launch the GDB & telnet server even if it can not
  356. establish a connection with the target. In general, it is possible for
  357. the JTAG controller to be unresponsive until the target is set up
  358. correctly via e.g. GDB monitor commands in a GDB init script.
  359. @node Simple Configuration Files
  360. @chapter Simple Configuration Files
  361. @cindex configuration
  362. @section Outline
  363. There are 4 basic ways of ``configurating'' openocd to run, they are:
  364. @enumerate
  365. @item A small openocd.cfg file which ``sources'' other configuration files
  366. @item A monolithic openocd.cfg file
  367. @item Many -f filename options on the command line
  368. @item Your Mixed Solution
  369. @end enumerate
  370. @section Small configuration file method
  371. This is the prefered method, it is simple and is works well for many
  372. people. The developers of OpenOCD would encourage you to use this
  373. method. If you create a new configuration please email new
  374. configurations to the development list.
  375. Here is an example of an openocd.cfg file for an ATMEL at91sam7x256
  376. @example
  377. source [find interface/signalyzer.cfg]
  378. # Change the default telnet port...
  379. telnet_port 4444
  380. # GDB connects here
  381. gdb_port 3333
  382. # GDB can also flash my flash!
  383. gdb_memory_map enable
  384. gdb_flash_program enable
  385. source [find target/sam7x256.cfg]
  386. @end example
  387. There are many example configuration scripts you can work with. You
  388. should look in the directory: @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/lib/openocd}. You
  389. should find:
  390. @enumerate
  391. @item @b{board} - eval board level configurations
  392. @item @b{interface} - specific dongle configurations
  393. @item @b{target} - the target chips
  394. @item @b{tcl} - helper scripts
  395. @item @b{xscale} - things specific to the xscale.
  396. @end enumerate
  397. Look first in the ``boards'' area, then the ``targets'' area. Often a board
  398. configuration is a good example to work from.
  399. @section Many -f filename options
  400. Some believe this is a wonderful solution, others find it painful.
  401. You can use a series of ``-f filename'' options on the command line,
  402. OpenOCD will read each filename in sequence, for example:
  403. @example
  404. openocd -f file1.cfg -f file2.cfg -f file2.cfg
  405. @end example
  406. You can also intermix various commands with the ``-c'' command line
  407. option.
  408. @section Monolithic file
  409. The ``Monolithic File'' dispenses with all ``source'' statements and
  410. puts everything in one self contained (monolithic) file. This is not
  411. encouraged.
  412. Please try to ``source'' various files or use the multiple -f
  413. technique.
  414. @section Advice for you
  415. Often, one uses a ``mixed approach''. Where possible, please try to
  416. ``source'' common things, and if needed cut/paste parts of the
  417. standard distribution configuration files as needed.
  418. @b{REMEMBER:} The ``important parts'' of your configuration file are:
  419. @enumerate
  420. @item @b{Interface} - Defines the dongle

  428. @item Is there a ``work area'' that that OpenOCD can use?

  433. @node Config File Guidelines
  434. @chapter Config File Guidelines
  435. This section/chapter is aimed at developers and integrators of
  436. OpenOCD. These are guidelines for creating new boards and new target
  437. configurations as of 28/Nov/2008.
  438. However, you the user of OpenOCD should be some what familiar with
  439. this section as it should help explain some of the internals of what
  440. you might be looking at.
  441. The user should find under @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/lib/openocd} the
  442. following directories:
  443. @itemize @bullet
  444. @item @b{interface}
  445. @*Think JTAG Dongle. Files that configure the jtag dongle go here.
  446. @item @b{board}
  447. @* Thing Circuit Board, PWA, PCB, they go by many names. Board files
  448. contain initialization items that are specific to a board - for
  449. example: The SDRAM initialization sequence for the board, or the type
  450. of external flash and what address it is found at. Any initialization
  451. sequence to enable that external flash or sdram should be found in the
  452. board file. Boards may also contain multiple targets, ie: Two cpus, or
  453. a CPU and an FPGA or CPLD.
  454. @item @b{target}
  455. @* Think CHIP. The ``target'' directory represents a jtag tap (or
  456. chip) OpenOCD should control, not a board. Two common types of targets
  457. are ARM chips and FPGA or CPLD chips.
  458. @end itemize
  459. @b{If needed...} The user in their ``openocd.cfg'' file or the board
  460. file might override a specific feature in any of the above files by
  461. setting a variable or two before sourcing the target file. Or adding
  462. various commands specific to their situation.
  463. @section Interface Config Files
  464. The user should be able to source one of these files via a command like this:
  465. @example
  466. source [find interface/FOOBAR.cfg]
  467. Or:
  468. openocd -f interface/FOOBAR.cfg
  469. @end example
  470. A preconfigured interface file should exist for every interface in use
  471. today, that said, perhaps some interfaces have only been used by the
  472. sole developer who created it.
  473. @b{FIXME/NOTE:} We need to add support for a variable like TCL variable
  474. tcl_platform(platform), it should be called jim_platform (because it
  475. is jim, not real tcl) and it should contain 1 of 3 words: ``linux'',
  476. ``cygwin'' or ``mingw''
  477. Interface files should be found in @t{$(INSTALLDIR)/lib/openocd/interface}
  478. @section Board Config Files
  479. @b{Note: BOARD directory NEW as of 28/nov/2008}
  480. The user should be able to source one of these files via a command like this:
  481. @example
  482. source [find board/FOOBAR.cfg]
  483. Or:
  484. openocd -f board/FOOBAR.cfg
  485. @end example
  486. The board file should contain one or more @t{source [find
  487. target/FOO.cfg]} statements along with any board specific things.
  488. In summery the board files should contain (if present)
  489. @enumerate
  490. @item External flash configuration (ie: the flash on CS0)
  491. @item SDRAM configuration (size, speed, etc)
  492. @item Board specific IO configuration (ie: GPIO pins might disable a 2nd flash)
  493. @item Multiple TARGET source statements
  494. @item All things that are not ``inside a chip''
  495. @item Things inside a chip go in a 'target' file
  496. @end enumerate
  497. @section Target Config Files
  498. The user should be able to source one of these files via a command like this:
  499. @example
  500. source [find target/FOOBAR.cfg]
  501. Or:
  502. openocd -f target/FOOBAR.cfg
  503. @end example
  504. In summery the target files should contain
  505. @enumerate
  506. @item Set Defaults
  507. @item Create Taps
  508. @item Reset Configuration
  509. @item Work Areas
  510. @item CPU/Chip/CPU-Core Specific features
  511. @item OnChip Flash
  512. @end enumerate
  513. @subsection Important variable names
  514. By default, the end user should never need to set these
  515. variables. However, if the user needs to override a setting they only
  516. need to set the variable in a simple way.
  517. @itemize @bullet
  518. @item @b{CHIPNAME}
  519. @* This gives a name to the overall chip, and is used as part of the
  520. tap identifier dotted name.
  521. @item @b{ENDIAN}
  522. @* By default little - unless the chip or board is not normally used that way.
  523. @item @b{CPUTAPID}
  524. @* When OpenOCD examines the JTAG chain, it will attempt to identify
  525. every chip. If the @t{-expected-id} is nonzero, OpenOCD attempts
  526. to verify the tap id number verses configuration file and may issue an
  527. error or warning like this. The hope is this will help pin point
  528. problem openocd configurations.
  529. @example
  530. Info: JTAG tap: sam7x256.cpu tap/device found: 0x3f0f0f0f (Manufacturer: 0x787, Part: 0xf0f0, Version: 0x3)
  531. Error: ERROR: Tap: sam7x256.cpu - Expected id: 0x12345678, Got: 0x3f0f0f0f
  532. Error: ERROR: expected: mfg: 0x33c, part: 0x2345, ver: 0x1
  533. Error: ERROR: got: mfg: 0x787, part: 0xf0f0, ver: 0x3
  534. @end example
  535. @item @b{_TARGETNAME}
  536. @* By convention, this variable is created by the target configuration
  537. script. The board configuration file may make use of this variable to
  538. configure things like a ``reset init'' script, or other things
  539. specific to that board and that target.
  540. If the chip has 2 targets, use the names @b{_TARGETNAME0},
  541. @b{_TARGETNAME1}, ... etc.
  542. @b{Remember:} The ``board file'' may include multiple targets.
  543. At no time should the name ``target0'' (the default target name if
  544. none was specified) be used. The name ``target0'' is a hard coded name
  545. - the next target on the board will be some other number.
  546. The user (or board file) should reasonably be able to:
  547. @example
  548. source [find target/FOO.cfg]
  549. $_TARGETNAME configure ... FOO specific parameters
  550. source [find target/BAR.cfg]
  551. $_TARGETNAME configure ... BAR specific parameters
  552. @end example
  553. @end itemize
  554. @subsection TCL Variables Guide Line
  555. The Full Tcl/Tk language supports ``namespaces'' - JIM-Tcl does not.
  556. Thus the rule we follow in OpenOCD is this: Variables that begin with
  557. a leading underscore are temporal in nature, and can be modified and
  558. used at will within a ?TARGET? configuration file
  559. @b{EXAMPLE:} The user should be able to do this:
  560. @example
  561. # Board has 3 chips,
  562. # PXA270 #1 network side, big endian
  563. # PXA270 #2 video side, little endian
  564. # Xilinx Glue logic
  565. set CHIPNAME network
  566. set ENDIAN big
  567. source [find target/pxa270.cfg]
  568. # variable: _TARGETNAME = network.cpu
  569. # other commands can refer to the "network.cpu" tap.
  570. $_TARGETNAME configure .... params for this cpu..
  571. set ENDIAN little
  572. set CHIPNAME video
  573. source [find target/pxa270.cfg]
  574. # variable: _TARGETNAME = video.cpu
  575. # other commands can refer to the "video.cpu" tap.
  576. $_TARGETNAME configure .... params for this cpu..
  577. unset ENDIAN
  578. set CHIPNAME xilinx
  579. source [find target/spartan3.cfg]
  580. # Since $_TARGETNAME is temporal..
  581. # these names still work!
  582. network.cpu configure ... params
  583. video.cpu configure ... params
  584. @end example
  585. @subsection Default Value Boiler Plate Code
  586. All target configuration files should start with this (or a modified form)
  587. @example
  588. # SIMPLE example
  589. if @{ [info exists CHIPNAME] @} @{
  590. set _CHIPNAME $CHIPNAME
  591. @} else @{
  592. set _CHIPNAME sam7x256
  593. @}
  594. if @{ [info exists ENDIAN] @} @{
  595. set _ENDIAN $ENDIAN
  596. @} else @{
  597. set _ENDIAN little
  598. @}
  599. if @{ [info exists CPUTAPID ] @} @{
  600. set _CPUTAPID $CPUTAPID
  601. @} else @{
  602. set _CPUTAPID 0x3f0f0f0f
  603. @}
  604. @end example
  605. @subsection Creating Taps
  606. After the ``defaults'' are choosen, [see above], the taps are created.
  607. @b{SIMPLE example:} such as an Atmel AT91SAM7X256
  608. @example
  609. # for an ARM7TDMI.
  610. set _TARGETNAME [format "%s.cpu" $_CHIPNAME]
  611. jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME cpu -irlen 4 -ircapture 0x1 -irmask 0xf -expected-id $_CPUTAPID
  612. @end example
  613. @b{COMPLEX example:}
  614. This is an SNIP/example for an STR912 - which has 3 internal taps. Key features shown:
  615. @enumerate
  616. @item @b{Unform tap names} - See: Tap Naming Convention
  617. @item @b{_TARGETNAME} is created at the end where used.
  618. @end enumerate
  619. @example
  620. if @{ [info exists FLASHTAPID ] @} @{
  621. set _FLASHTAPID $FLASHTAPID
  622. @} else @{
  623. set _FLASHTAPID 0x25966041
  624. @}
  625. jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME flash -irlen 8 -ircapture 0x1 -irmask 0x1 -expected-id $_FLASHTAPID
  626. if @{ [info exists CPUTAPID ] @} @{
  627. set _CPUTAPID $CPUTAPID
  628. @} else @{
  629. set _CPUTAPID 0x25966041
  630. @}
  631. jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME cpu -irlen 4 -ircapture 0xf -irmask 0xe -expected-id $_CPUTAPID
  632. if @{ [info exists BSTAPID ] @} @{
  633. set _BSTAPID $BSTAPID
  634. @} else @{
  635. set _BSTAPID 0x1457f041
  636. @}
  637. jtag newtap $_CHIPNAME bs -irlen 5 -ircapture 0x1 -irmask 0x1 -expected-id $_BSTAPID
  638. set _TARGETNAME [format "%s.cpu" $_CHIPNAME]
  639. @end example
  640. @b{Tap Naming Convention}
  641. See the command ``jtag newtap'' for detail, but in breif the names you should use are:
  642. @itemize @bullet
  643. @item @b{tap}
  644. @item @b{cpu}
  645. @item @b{flash}
  646. @item @b{bs}
  647. @item @b{jrc}
  648. @item @b{unknownN} - it happens :-(
  649. @end itemize
  650. @subsection Reset Configuration
  651. Some chips have specific ways the TRST and SRST signals are
  652. managed. If these are @b{CHIP SPECIFIC} they go here, if they are
  653. @b{BOARD SPECIFIC} they go in the board file.
  654. @subsection Work Areas
  655. Work areas are small RAM areas used by OpenOCD to speed up downloads,
  656. and to download small snippits of code to program flash chips.
  657. If the chip includes an form of ``on-chip-ram'' - and many do - define
  658. a reasonable work area and use the ``backup'' option.
  659. @b{PROBLEMS:} On more complex chips, this ``work area'' may become
  660. inaccessable if/when the application code enables or disables the MMU.
  661. @subsection ARM Core Specific Hacks
  662. If the chip has a DCC, enable it. If the chip is an arm9 with some
  663. special high speed download - enable it.
  664. If the chip has an ARM ``vector catch'' feature - by defeault enable
  665. it for Undefined Instructions, Data Abort, and Prefetch Abort, if the
  666. user is really writing a handler for those situations - they can
  667. easily disable it. Experiance has shown the ``vector catch'' is
  668. helpful - for common programing errors.
  669. If present, the MMU, the MPU and the CACHE should be disabled.
  670. @subsection Internal Flash Configuration
  671. This applies @b{ONLY TO MICROCONTROLLERS} that have flash built in.
  672. @b{Never ever} in the ``target configuration file'' define any type of
  673. flash that is external to the chip. (For example the BOOT flash on
  674. Chip Select 0). The BOOT flash information goes in a board file - not
  675. the TARGET (chip) file.
  676. Examples:
  677. @itemize @bullet
  678. @item at91sam7x256 - has 256K flash YES enable it.
  679. @item str912 - has flash internal YES enable it.
  680. @item imx27 - uses boot flash on CS0 - it goes in the board file.
  681. @item pxa270 - again - CS0 flash - it goes in the board file.

  683. @node About JIM-Tcl
  684. @chapter About JIM-Tcl
  685. @cindex JIM Tcl
  686. @cindex tcl
  687. OpenOCD includes a small ``TCL Interpreter'' known as JIM-TCL. You can
  688. learn more about JIM here: @url{http://jim.berlios.de}
  689. @itemize @bullet
  690. @item @b{JIM vrs TCL}
  691. @* JIM-TCL is a stripped down version of the well known Tcl language,
  692. which can be found here: @url{http://www.tcl.tk}. JIM-Tcl has far
  693. fewer features. JIM-Tcl is a single .C file and a single .H file and
  694. impliments the basic TCL command set along. In contrast: Tcl 8.6 is a
  695. 4.2MEG zip file containing 1540 files.
  696. @item @b{Missing Features}
  697. @* Our practice has been: Add/clone the Real TCL feature if/when
  698. needed. We welcome JIM Tcl improvements, not bloat.
  699. @item @b{Scripts}
  700. @* OpenOCD configuration scripts are JIM Tcl Scripts. OpenOCD's
  701. command interpretor today (28/nov/2008) is a mixture of (newer)
  702. JIM-Tcl commands, and (older) the orginal command interpretor.
  703. @item @b{Commands}
  704. @* At the openocd telnet command line (or via the GDB mon command) one
  705. can type a Tcl for() loop, set variables, etc.
  706. @item @b{Historical Note}
  707. @* JIM-Tcl was introduced to OpenOCD in Spring 2008.

  711. @node Daemon Configuration
  712. @chapter Daemon Configuration
  713. The commands here are commonly found inthe openocd.cfg file and are
  714. used to specify what TCP/IP ports are used, and how GDB should be
  715. supported.
  716. @section init
  717. @cindex init
  718. This command terminates the configuration stage and
  719. enters the normal command mode. This can be useful to add commands to
  720. the startup scripts and commands such as resetting the target,
  721. programming flash, etc. To reset the CPU upon startup, add "init" and
  722. "reset" at the end of the config script or at the end of the OpenOCD
  723. command line using the @option{-c} command line switch.
  724. If this command does not appear in any startup/configuration file
  725. OpenOCD executes the command for you after processing all
  726. configuration files and/or command line options.
  727. @b{NOTE:} This command normally occurs at or near the end of your
  728. openocd.cfg file to force OpenOCD to ``initialize'' and make the
  729. targets ready. For example: If your openocd.cfg file needs to
  730. read/write memory on your target - the init command must occur before
  731. the memory read/write commands.

  1036. the CPU at the reset vector before the 1st instruction is executed,

  1038. @*Depending upon your board vendor, your chip vendor, etc, these

  1055. [@var{combination}] is an optional value specifying broken reset
  1056. signal implementations. @option{srst_pulls_trst} states that the
  1057. testlogic is reset together with the reset of the system (e.g. Philips
  1058. LPC2000, "broken" board layout), @option{trst_pulls_srst} says that
  1059. the system is reset together with the test logic (only hypothetical, I

  1061. @option{combined} imples both @option{srst_pulls_trst} and

  1232. that effectively adds or removes a tap from the jtag chain in a
  1233. non-standard way.
  1234. The ``standard way'' to remove a tap would be to place the tap in
  1235. bypass mode. But with the advent of modern chips, this is not always a
  1236. good solution. Some taps operate slowly, others operate fast, and
  1237. there are other JTAG clock syncronization problems one must face. To
  1238. solve that problem, the JTAG Route controller was introduced. Rather
  1239. then ``bypass'' the tap, the tap is completely removed from the
  1240. circuit and skipped.
  1241. From OpenOCDs view point, a JTAG TAP is in one of 3 states:
  1242. @itemize @bullet
  1243. @item @b{Enabled - Not In ByPass} and has a variable bit length
  1244. @item @b{Enabled - In ByPass} and has a length of exactly 1 bit.
  1245. @item @b{Disabled} and has a length of ZERO and is removed from the circuit.
  1246. @end itemize
  1247. The IEEE JTAG definition has no concept of a ``disabled'' tap.
  1248. @b{Historical note:} this feature was added 28/nov/2008
  1249. @b{jtag tapisenabled DOTTED.NAME}
  1250. This command return 1 if the named tap is currently enabled, 0 if not.
  1251. This command exists so that scripts that manipulate a JRC (like the
  1252. Omap3530 has) can determine if OpenOCD thinks a tap is presently
  1253. enabled, or disabled.
  1254. @page
  1255. @node Target Configuration
  1256. @chapter Target Configuration
  1257. This chapter discusses how to create a GDB Debug Target. Before
  1258. creating a ``target'' a JTAG Tap DOTTED.NAME must exist first.
  1259. @section targets [NAME]
  1260. @b{Note:} This command name is PLURAL - not singular.
  1261. With NO parameter, this pural @b{targets} command lists all known
  1262. targets in a human friendly form.
  1263. With a parameter, this pural @b{targets} command sets the current
  1264. target to the given name. (ie: If there are multiple debug targets)
  1265. Example:
  1266. @verbatim
  1267. (gdb) mon targets
  1268. CmdName Type Endian ChainPos State
  1269. -- ---------- ---------- ---------- -------- ----------
  1270. 0: target0 arm7tdmi little 0 halted
  1271. @end verbatim
  1272. @section target COMMANDS
  1273. @b{Note:} This command name is SINGULAR - not plural. It is used to
  1274. manipulate specific targets, to create targets and other things.
  1275. Once a target is created, a TARGETNAME (object) command is created;
  1276. see below for details.
  1277. The TARGET command accepts these sub-commands:
  1278. @itemize @bullet
  1279. @item @b{create} .. parameters ..
  1280. @* creates a new target, See below for details.
  1281. @item @b{types}
  1282. @* Lists all supported target types (perhaps some are not yet in this document).
  1283. @item @b{names}
  1284. @* Lists all current debug target names, for example: 'str912.cpu' or 'pxa27.cpu' example usage:
  1285. @verbatim
  1286. foreach t [target names] {
  1287. puts [format "Target: %s\n" $t]
  1288. }
  1289. @end verbatim
  1290. @item @b{current}
  1291. @* Returns the current target. OpenOCD always has, or refers to the ``current target'' in some way.
  1292. By default, commands like: ``mww'' (used to write memory) operate on the current target.
  1293. @item @b{number} @b{NUMBER}
  1294. @* Internally OpenOCD maintains a list of targets - in numerical index
  1295. (0..N-1) this command returns the name of the target at index N.
  1296. Example usage:
  1297. @verbatim
  1298. set thename [target number $x]
  1299. puts [format "Target %d is: %s\n" $x $thename]
  1300. @end verbatim
  1301. @item @b{count}
  1302. @* Returns the number of targets known to OpenOCD (see number above)
  1303. Example:
  1304. @verbatim
  1305. set c [target count]
  1306. for { set x 0 } { $x < $c } { incr x } {
  1307. # Assuming you have created this function
  1308. print_target_details $x
  1309. }
  1310. @end verbatim
  1311. @end itemize
  1312. @section TARGETNAME (object) commands
  1313. @b{Use:} Once a target is created, an ``object name'' that represents the
  1314. target is created. By convention, the target name is identical to the
  1315. tap name. In a multiple target system, one can preceed many common
  1316. commands with a specific target name and effect only that target.
  1317. @example
  1318. str912.cpu mww 0x1234 0x42
  1319. omap3530.cpu mww 0x5555 123
  1320. @end example
  1321. @b{Model:} The Tcl/Tk language has the concept of object commands. A
  1322. good example is a on screen button, once a button is created a button
  1323. has a name (a path in TK terms) and that name is useable as a 1st
  1324. class command. For example in TK, one can create a button and later
  1325. configure it like this:
  1326. @example
  1327. # Create
  1328. button .foobar -background red -command @{ foo @}
  1329. # Modify
  1330. .foobar configure -foreground blue
  1331. # Query
  1332. set x [.foobar cget -background]
  1333. # Report
  1334. puts [format "The button is %s" $x]
  1335. @end example
  1336. In OpenOCDs terms, the ``target'' is an object just like a Tcl/Tk
  1337. button. Commands avaialble as a ``target object'' are:
  1338. @comment START targetobj commands.
  1339. @itemize @bullet
  1340. @item @b{configure} - configure the target; see Target Config/Cget Options below
  1341. @item @b{cget} - query the target configuration; see Target Config/Cget Options below
  1342. @item @b{curstate} - current target state (running, halt, etc)
  1343. @item @b{eventlist}
  1344. @* Intended for a human to see/read the currently configure target events.
  1345. @item @b{Various Memory Commands} See the ``mww'' command elsewhere.

  1362. @* @b{ARRAYNAME} is the name of an array variable
  1363. @* @b{WIDTH} is 8/16/32 - indicating the memory access size
  1364. @* @b{ADDRESS} is the target memory address
  1365. @* @b{COUNT} is the number of elements to process
  1366. @end itemize
  1367. @item @b{Used during ``reset''}
  1368. @* These commands are used internally by the OpenOCD scripts to deal
  1369. with odd reset situations and are not documented here.

  1379. @end itemize
  1380. @section Target Events
  1381. At various times, certian things happen, or you want to happen.
  1382. Examples:
  1383. @itemize @bullet
  1384. @item What should happen when GDB connects? Should your target reset?
  1385. @item When GDB tries to flash the target, do you need to enable the flash via a special command?
  1386. @item During reset, do you need to write to certian memory locations to reconfigure the SDRAM?
  1387. @end itemize
  1388. All of the above items are handled by target events.
  1389. To specify an event action, either during target creation, or later
  1390. via ``$_TARGETNAME configure'' see this example.
  1391. Syntactially, the option is: ``-event NAME BODY'' where NAME is a
  1392. target event name, and BODY is a tcl procedure or string of commands
  1393. to execute.
  1394. The programers model is the: ``-command'' option used in Tcl/Tk
  1395. buttons and events. Below are two identical examples, the first
  1396. creates and invokes small procedure. The second inlines the procedure.
  1397. @example
  1398. proc my_attach_proc @{ @} @{

  1691. attached to the chips CS0 pin.
  1692. For other chip selects: OpenOCD does not know how to configure, or
  1693. access a specific chip select. Instead you the human might need to via
  1694. other commands (like: mww) configure additional chip selects, or
  1695. perhaps configure a GPIO pin that controls the ``write protect'' pin

  1812. Note: Before using the str9xpec driver here is some background info to help

  1815. @enumerate
  1816. @item
  1817. Standard driver @option{str9x} programmed via the str9 core. Normally used for
  1818. flash programming as it is faster than the @option{str9xpec} driver.

  1820. Direct programming @option{str9xpec} using the flash controller, this is
  1821. ISC compilant (IEEE 1532) tap connected in series with the str9 core. The str9
  1822. core does not need to be running to program using this flash driver. Typical use
  1823. for this driver is locking/unlocking the target and programming the option bytes.
  1824. @end enumerate
  1825. Before we run any cmds using the @option{str9xpec} driver we must first disable
  1826. the str9 core. This example assumes the @option{str9xpec} driver has been
  1827. configured for flash bank 0.

  1829. # assert srst, we do not want core running

  1832. # turn off target polling

  1836. # read option bytes
  1837. str9xpec options_read 0
  1838. # re-enable str9 core
  1839. str9xpec disable_turbo 0
  1840. poll on
  1841. reset halt
  1842. @end example
  1843. The above example will read the str9 option bytes.
  1844. When performing a unlock remember that you will not be able to halt the str9 - it
  1845. has been locked. Halting the core is not required for the @option{str9xpec} driver

  2319. If OpenOCD runs on an embedded host(as ZY1000 does), then tftp can
  2320. be used to access files on PCs(either developer PC or some other PC).
  2321. The way this works on the ZY1000 is to prefix a filename by
  2322. "/tftp/ip/" and append the tftp path on the tftp
  2323. server(tftpd). E.g. "load_image /tftp/10.0.0.96/c:\temp\abc.elf" will
  2324. load c:\temp\abc.elf from the developer pc (10.0.0.96) into memory as
  2325. if the file was hosted on the embedded host.
  2326. In order to achieve decent performance, you must choose a tftp server
  2327. that supports a packet size bigger than the default packet size(512 bytes). There
  2328. are numerous tftp servers out there(free and commercial) and you will have to do
  2329. a bit of googling to find something that fits your requirements.

  2352. @cindex GDB and OpenOCD
  2353. OpenOCD complies with the remote gdbserver protocol, and as such can be used
  2354. to debug remote targets.
  2355. @section Connecting to gdb
  2356. @cindex Connecting to gdb
  2357. Use GDB 6.7 or newer with OpenOCD if you run into trouble. For
  2358. instance 6.3 has a known bug where it produces bogus memory access
  2359. errors, which has since been fixed: look up 1836 in
  2360. @url{http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?database=gdb}
  2361. A connection is typically started as follows:
  2362. @example
  2363. target remote localhost:3333
  2364. @end example
  2365. This would cause gdb to connect to the gdbserver on the local pc using port 3333.
  2366. To see a list of available OpenOCD commands type @option{monitor help} on the
  2367. gdb commandline.
  2368. OpenOCD supports the gdb @option{qSupported} packet, this enables information
  2369. to be sent by the gdb server (openocd) to gdb. Typical information includes
  2370. packet size and device memory map.
  2371. Previous versions of OpenOCD required the following gdb options to increase
  2372. the packet size and speed up gdb communication.
  2373. @example
  2374. set remote memory-write-packet-size 1024
  2375. set remote memory-write-packet-size fixed
  2376. set remote memory-read-packet-size 1024
  2377. set remote memory-read-packet-size fixed
  2378. @end example
  2379. This is now handled in the @option{qSupported} PacketSize.
  2380. @section Programming using gdb
  2381. @cindex Programming using gdb
  2382. By default the target memory map is sent to gdb, this can be disabled by
  2383. the following OpenOCD config option:
  2384. @example
  2385. gdb_memory_map disable
  2386. @end example
  2387. For this to function correctly a valid flash config must also be configured
  2388. in OpenOCD. For faster performance you should also configure a valid
  2389. working area.
  2390. Informing gdb of the memory map of the target will enable gdb to protect any
  2391. flash area of the target and use hardware breakpoints by default. This means
  2392. that the OpenOCD option @option{gdb_breakpoint_override} is not required when
  2393. using a memory map. @xref{gdb_breakpoint_override}.
  2394. To view the configured memory map in gdb, use the gdb command @option{info mem}
  2395. All other unasigned addresses within gdb are treated as RAM.
  2396. GDB 6.8 and higher set any memory area not in the memory map as inaccessible,
  2397. this can be changed to the old behaviour by using the following gdb command.
  2398. @example
  2399. set mem inaccessible-by-default off
  2400. @end example
  2401. If @option{gdb_flash_program enable} is also used, gdb will be able to
  2402. program any flash memory using the vFlash interface.
  2403. gdb will look at the target memory map when a load command is given, if any
  2404. areas to be programmed lie within the target flash area the vFlash packets
  2405. will be used.
  2406. If the target needs configuring before gdb programming, an event
  2407. script can be executed.
  2408. @example
  2409. $_TARGETNAME configure -event EVENTNAME BODY
  2410. @end example
  2411. To verify any flash programming the gdb command @option{compare-sections}
  2412. can be used.

  2416. API rules
  2417. The commands are stateless. E.g. the telnet command line has a concept
  2418. of currently active target, the Tcl API proc's take this sort of state
  2419. information as an argument to each proc.
  2420. There are three main types of return values: single value, name value
  2421. pair list and lists.
  2422. Name value pair. The proc 'foo' below returns a name/value pair
  2423. list.
  2424. @verbatim
  2425. > set foo(me) Duane
  2426. > set foo(you) Oyvind
  2427. > set foo(mouse) Micky
  2428. > set foo(duck) Donald
  2429. If one does this:
  2430. > set foo
  2431. The result is:
  2432. me Duane you Oyvind mouse Micky duck Donald
  2433. Thus, to get the names of the associative array is easy:
  2434. foreach { name value } [set foo] {
  2435. puts "Name: $name, Value: $value"
  2436. }
  2437. @end verbatim
  2438. Lists returned must be relatively small. Otherwise a range
  2439. should be passed in to the proc in question.
  2440. Low level commands are prefixed with "openocd_", e.g. openocd_flash_banks
  2441. is the low level API upon which "flash banks" is implemented.

  2515. @item @b{RTCK, also known as: Adaptive Clocking - What is it?}
  2516. @cindex RTCK
  2517. @cindex adaptive clocking
  2518. @*
  2519. In digital circuit design it is often refered to as ``clock
  2520. syncronization'' the JTAG interface uses one clock (TCK or TCLK)
  2521. operating at some speed, your target is operating at another. The two
  2522. clocks are not syncronized, they are ``asynchronous''
  2523. In order for the two to work together they must syncronize. Otherwise
  2524. the two systems will get out of sync with each other and nothing will
  2525. work. There are 2 basic options. @b{1.} use a special circuit or
  2526. @b{2.} one clock must be some multile slower the the other.
  2527. @b{Does this really matter?} For some chips and some situations, this
  2528. is a non-issue (ie: A 500mhz ARM926) but for others - for example some
  2529. ATMEL SAM7 and SAM9 chips start operation from reset at 32khz -
  2530. program/enable the oscillators and eventually the main clock. It is in
  2531. those critical times you must slow the jtag clock to sometimes 1 to
  2532. 4khz.
  2533. Imagine debugging that 500mhz arm926 hand held battery powered device
  2534. that ``deep sleeps'' at 32khz between every keystroke. It can be
  2535. painful.
  2536. @b{Solution #1 - A special circuit}
  2537. In order to make use of this your jtag dongle must support the RTCK
  2538. feature. Not all dongles support this - keep reading!
  2539. The RTCK signal often found in some ARM chips is used to help with
  2540. this problem. ARM has a good description of the problem described at
  2541. this link: @url{http://www.arm.com/support/faqdev/4170.html} [checked
  2542. 28/nov/2008]. Link title: ``How does the jtag synchronisation logic
  2543. work? / how does adaptive clocking working?''.
  2544. The nice thing about adaptive clocking is that ``battery powered hand
  2545. held device example'' - the adaptiveness works perfectly all the
  2546. time. One can set a break point or halt the system in the deep power
  2547. down code, slow step out until the system speeds up.
  2548. @b{Solution #2 - Always works - but is slower}
  2549. Often this is a perfectly acceptable solution.
  2550. In the most simple terms: Often the JTAG clock must be 1/10 to 1/12 of
  2551. the target clock speed. But what is that ``magic division'' it varies
  2552. depending upon the chips on your board. @b{ARM Rule of thumb} Most ARM
  2553. based systems require an 8:1 division. @b{Xilinx Rule of thumb} is
  2554. 1/12 the clock speed.
  2555. Note: Many FTDI2232C based JTAG dongles are limited to 6mhz.
  2556. You can still debug the 'lower power' situations - you just need to
  2557. manually adjust the clock speed at every step. While painful and
  2558. teadious, it is not always practical.
  2559. It is however easy to ``code your way around it'' - ie: Cheat a little
  2560. have a special debug mode in your application that does a ``high power
  2561. sleep''. If you are careful - 98% of your problems can be debugged
  2562. this way.
  2563. To set the JTAG frequency use the command:
  2564. @example
  2565. # Example: 1.234mhz
  2566. jtag_khz 1234
  2567. @end example
  2568. @item @b{Win32 Pathnames} Why does not backslashes in paths under Windows doesn't work?
  2569. OpenOCD uses Tcl and a backslash is an escape char. Use @{ and @}
  2570. around Windows filenames.
  2571. @example
  2572. > echo \a
  2573. > echo @{\a@}
  2574. \a
  2575. > echo "\a"
  2576. >
  2577. @end example
  2578. @item @b{Missing: cygwin1.dll} OpenOCD complains about a missing cygwin1.dll.
  2579. Make sure you have Cygwin installed, or at least a version of OpenOCD that
  2580. claims to come with all the necessary dlls. When using Cygwin, try launching
  2581. OpenOCD from the Cygwin shell.
  2582. @item @b{Breakpoint Issue} I'm trying to set a breakpoint using GDB (or a frontend like Insight or
  2583. Eclipse), but OpenOCD complains that "Info: arm7_9_common.c:213
  2584. arm7_9_add_breakpoint(): sw breakpoint requested, but software breakpoints not enabled".
  2585. GDB issues software breakpoints when a normal breakpoint is requested, or to implement
  2586. source-line single-stepping. On ARMv4T systems, like ARM7TDMI, ARM720t or ARM920t,
  2587. software breakpoints consume one of the two available hardware breakpoints.
  2588. @item @b{LPC2000 Flash} When erasing or writing LPC2000 on-chip flash, the operation fails sometimes
  2589. and works sometimes fine.
  2590. Make sure the core frequency specified in the @option{flash lpc2000} line matches the
  2591. clock at the time you're programming the flash. If you've specified the crystal's
  2592. frequency, make sure the PLL is disabled, if you've specified the full core speed
  2593. (e.g. 60MHz), make sure the PLL is enabled.
  2594. @item @b{Amontec Chameleon} When debugging using an Amontec Chameleon in its JTAG Accelerator configuration,
  2595. I keep getting "Error: amt_jtagaccel.c:184 amt_wait_scan_busy(): amt_jtagaccel timed
  2596. out while waiting for end of scan, rtck was disabled".
  2597. Make sure your PC's parallel port operates in EPP mode. You might have to try several
  2598. settings in your PC BIOS (ECP, EPP, and different versions of those).
  2599. @item @b{Data Aborts} When debugging with OpenOCD and GDB (plain GDB, Insight, or Eclipse),
  2600. I get lots of "Error: arm7_9_common.c:1771 arm7_9_read_memory():
  2601. memory read caused data abort".
  2602. The errors are non-fatal, and are the result of GDB trying to trace stack frames
  2603. beyond the last valid frame. It might be possible to prevent this by setting up
  2604. a proper "initial" stack frame, if you happen to know what exactly has to
  2605. be done, feel free to add this here.
  2606. @b{Simple:} In your startup code - push 8 registers of ZEROs onto the
  2607. stack before calling main(). What GDB is doing is ``climbing'' the run
  2608. time stack by reading various values on the stack using the standard
  2609. call frame for the target. GDB keeps going - until one of 2 things
  2610. happen @b{#1} an invalid frame is found, or @b{#2} some huge number of
  2611. stackframes have been processed. By pushing ZEROs on the stack, GDB
  2612. gracefully stops.
  2613. @b{Debugging Interrupt Service Routines} - In your ISR before you call
  2614. your C code, do the same, artifically push some zeros on to the stack,
  2615. remember to pop them off when the ISR is done.
  2616. @b{Also note:} If you have a multi-threaded operating system, they
  2617. often do not @b{in the intrest of saving memory} waste these few
  2618. bytes. Painful...
  2619. @item @b{JTAG Reset Config} I get the following message in the OpenOCD console (or log file):
  2620. "Warning: arm7_9_common.c:679 arm7_9_assert_reset(): srst resets test logic, too".
  2621. This warning doesn't indicate any serious problem, as long as you don't want to
  2622. debug your core right out of reset. Your .cfg file specified @option{jtag_reset
  2623. trst_and_srst srst_pulls_trst} to tell OpenOCD that either your board,
  2624. your debugger or your target uC (e.g. LPC2000) can't assert the two reset signals
  2625. independently. With this setup, it's not possible to halt the core right out of
  2626. reset, everything else should work fine.
  2627. @item @b{USB Power} When using OpenOCD in conjunction with Amontec JTAGkey and the Yagarto
  2628. Toolchain (Eclipse, arm-elf-gcc, arm-elf-gdb), the debugging seems to be
  2629. unstable. When single-stepping over large blocks of code, GDB and OpenOCD
  2630. quit with an error message. Is there a stability issue with OpenOCD?
  2631. No, this is not a stability issue concerning OpenOCD. Most users have solved
  2632. this issue by simply using a self-powered USB hub, which they connect their
  2633. Amontec JTAGkey to. Apparently, some computers do not provide a USB power
  2634. supply stable enough for the Amontec JTAGkey to be operated.
  2635. @b{Laptops running on battery have this problem too...}
  2636. @item @b{USB Power} When using the Amontec JTAGkey, sometimes OpenOCD crashes with the
  2637. following error messages: "Error: ft2232.c:201 ft2232_read(): FT_Read returned:
  2638. 4" and "Error: ft2232.c:365 ft2232_send_and_recv(): couldn't read from FT2232".
  2639. What does that mean and what might be the reason for this?
  2640. First of all, the reason might be the USB power supply. Try using a self-powered
  2641. hub instead of a direct connection to your computer. Secondly, the error code 4
  2642. corresponds to an FT_IO_ERROR, which means that the driver for the FTDI USB
  2643. chip ran into some sort of error - this points us to a USB problem.
  2644. @item @b{GDB Disconnects} When using the Amontec JTAGkey, sometimes OpenOCD crashes with the following
  2645. error message: "Error: gdb_server.c:101 gdb_get_char(): read: 10054".
  2646. What does that mean and what might be the reason for this?
  2647. Error code 10054 corresponds to WSAECONNRESET, which means that the debugger (GDB)
  2648. has closed the connection to OpenOCD. This might be a GDB issue.
  2649. @item @b{LPC2000 Flash} In the configuration file in the section where flash device configurations
  2650. are described, there is a parameter for specifying the clock frequency
  2651. for LPC2000 internal flash devices (e.g. @option{flash bank lpc2000
  2652. 0x0 0x40000 0 0 0 lpc2000_v1 14746 calc_checksum}), which must be
  2653. specified in kilohertz. However, I do have a quartz crystal of a
  2654. frequency that contains fractions of kilohertz (e.g. 14,745,600 Hz,
  2655. i.e. 14,745.600 kHz). Is it possible to specify real numbers for the
  2656. clock frequency?
  2657. No. The clock frequency specified here must be given as an integral number.
  2658. However, this clock frequency is used by the In-Application-Programming (IAP)
  2659. routines of the LPC2000 family only, which seems to be very tolerant concerning
  2660. the given clock frequency, so a slight difference between the specified clock
  2661. frequency and the actual clock frequency will not cause any trouble.
  2662. @item @b{Command Order} Do I have to keep a specific order for the commands in the configuration file?
  2663. Well, yes and no. Commands can be given in arbitrary order, yet the
  2664. devices listed for the JTAG scan chain must be given in the right
  2665. order (jtag newdevice), with the device closest to the TDO-Pin being
  2666. listed first. In general, whenever objects of the same type exist
  2667. which require an index number, then these objects must be given in the
  2668. right order (jtag newtap, targets and flash banks - a target
  2669. references a jtag newtap and a flash bank references a target).
  2670. You can use the ``scan_chain'' command to verify and display the tap order.
  2671. @item @b{JTAG Tap Order} JTAG Tap Order - Command Order
  2672. Many newer devices have multiple JTAG taps. For example: ST
  2673. Microsystems STM32 chips have two taps, a ``boundary scan tap'' and
  2674. ``cortexM3'' tap. Example: The STM32 reference manual, Document ID:
  2675. RM0008, Section 26.5, Figure 259, page 651/681, the ``TDI'' pin is
  2676. connected to the Boundary Scan Tap, which then connects to the
  2677. CortexM3 Tap, which then connects to the TDO pin.
  2678. Thus, the proper order for the STM32 chip is: (1) The CortexM3, then
  2679. (2) The Boundary Scan Tap. If your board includes an additional JTAG
  2680. chip in the scan chain (for example a Xilinx CPLD or FPGA) you could
  2681. place it before or after the stm32 chip in the chain. For example:
  2682. @itemize @bullet
  2683. @item OpenOCD_TDI(output) -> STM32 TDI Pin (BS Input)
  2684. @item STM32 BS TDO (output) -> STM32 CortexM3 TDI (input)
  2685. @item STM32 CortexM3 TDO (output) -> SM32 TDO Pin
  2686. @item STM32 TDO Pin (output) -> Xilinx TDI Pin (input)
  2687. @item Xilinx TDO Pin -> OpenOCD TDO (input)
  2688. @end itemize
  2689. The ``jtag device'' commands would thus be in the order shown below. Note
  2690. @itemize @bullet
  2691. @item jtag newtap Xilinx tap -irlen ...
  2692. @item jtag newtap stm32 cpu -irlen ...

  2731. in TCL.
  2732. @item Rule #2: If you think otherwise, See Rule #1
  2733. @* Actually what happens is this: There are commands that by

  2754. = 1'' statement, but without the equal sign.
  2755. @itemize @bullet
  2756. @item @b{[square-brackets]}
  2757. @* @b{[square-brackets]} are command subsitution. It operates much
  2758. like Unix Shell `back-ticks`. The result of a [square-bracket]
  2759. operation is exactly 1 string. @i{Remember Rule #1 - Everything is a
  2760. string}. These two statments are roughly identical.
  2761. @example
  2762. # bash example
  2763. X=`date`
  2764. echo "The Date is: $X"
  2765. # TCL example
  2766. set X [date]
  2767. puts "The Date is: $X"
  2768. @end example
  2769. @item @b{``double-quoted-things''}
  2770. @* @b{``double-quoted-things''} are just simply quoted
  2771. text. $VARIABLES and [square-brackets] are expanded in place - the
  2772. result however is exactly 1 string. @i{Remember Rule #1 - Everything
  2773. is a string}
  2774. @example
  2775. set x "Dinner"
  2776. puts "It is now \"[date]\", $x is in 1 hour"
  2777. @end example
  2778. @item @b{@{Curly-Braces@}}
  2779. @*@b{@{Curly-Braces@}} are magic: $VARIABLES and [square-brackets] are
  2780. parsed, but are NOT expanded or executed. @{Curly-Braces@} are like
  2781. 'single-quote' operators in BASH shell scripts, with the added
  2782. feature: @{curly-braces@} nest, single quotes can not. @{@{@{this is
  2783. nested 3 times@}@}@} NOTE: [date] is perhaps a bad example, as of
  2784. 28/nov/2008, Jim/OpenOCD does not have a date command.
  2785. @end itemize
  2786. @section Consiquences of Rule 1/2/3/4
  2787. The consiquences of Rule 1 is profound.
  2788. @subsection Tokenizing & Execution.
  2789. Of course, whitespace, blank lines and #comment lines are handled in
  2790. the normal way.
  2791. As a script is parsed, each (multi) line in the script file is
  2792. tokenized and according to the quoting rules. After tokenizing, that
  2793. line is immedatly executed.
  2794. Multi line statements end with one or more ``still-open''
  2795. @{curly-braces@} which - eventually - a few lines later closes.
  2796. @subsection Command Execution
  2797. Remember earlier: There is no such thing as ``control flow''
  2798. statements in TCL. Instead there are COMMANDS that simpily act like
  2799. control flow operators.
  2800. Commands are executed like this:
  2801. @enumerate
  2802. @item Parse the next line into (argc) and (argv[]).
  2803. @item Look up (argv[0]) in a table and call its function.
  2804. @item Repeat until End Of File.
  2805. @end enumerate
  2806. It sort of works like this:
  2807. @example
  2808. for(;;)@{
  2809. ReadAndParse( &argc, &argv );
  2810. cmdPtr = LookupCommand( argv[0] );
  2811. (*cmdPtr->Execute)( argc, argv );
  2812. @}
  2813. @end example
  2814. When the command ``proc'' is parsed (which creates a procedure
  2815. function) it gets 3 parameters on the command line. @b{1} the name of
  2816. the proc (function), @b{2} the list of parameters, and @b{3} the body
  2817. of the function. Not the choice of words: LIST and BODY. The PROC
  2818. command stores these items in a table somewhere so it can be found by
  2819. ``LookupCommand()''
  2820. @subsection The FOR Command
  2821. The most interesting command to look at is the FOR command. In TCL,
  2822. the FOR command is normally implimented in C. Remember, FOR is a
  2823. command just like any other command.
  2824. When the ascii text containing the FOR command is parsed, the parser
  2825. produces 5 parameter strings, @i{(If in doubt: Refer to Rule #1)} they
  2826. are:
  2827. @enumerate 0
  2828. @item The ascii text 'for'
  2829. @item The start text
  2830. @item The test expression
  2831. @item The next text
  2832. @item The body text
  2833. @end enumerate
  2834. Sort of reminds you of ``main( int argc, char **argv )'' does it not?
  2835. Remember @i{Rule #1 - Everything is a string.} The key point is this:
  2836. Often many of those parameters are in @{curly-braces@} - thus the
  2837. variables inside are not expanded or replaced until later.
  2838. Remember that every TCL command looks like the classic ``main( argc,
  2839. argv )'' function in C. In JimTCL - they actually look like this:
  2840. @example
  2841. int
  2842. MyCommand( Jim_Interp *interp,
  2843. int *argc,
  2844. Jim_Obj * const *argvs );
  2845. @end example
  2846. Real TCL is nearly identical. Although the newer versions have
  2847. introduced a byte-code parser and intepreter, but at the core, it
  2848. still operates in the same basic way.
  2849. @subsection FOR Command Implimentation
  2850. To understand TCL it is perhaps most helpful to see the FOR
  2851. command. Remember, it is a COMMAND not a control flow structure.
  2852. In TCL there are two underying C helper functions.
  2853. Remember Rule #1 - You are a string.
  2854. The @b{first} helper parses and executes commands found in an ascii
  2855. string. Commands can be seperated by semi-colons, or newlines. While
  2856. parsing, variables are expanded per the quoting rules
  2857. The @b{second} helper evaluates an ascii string as a numerical
  2858. expression and returns a value.
  2859. Here is an example of how the @b{FOR} command could be
  2860. implimented. The pseudo code below does not show error handling.
  2861. @example
  2862. void Execute_AsciiString( void *interp, const char *string );
  2863. int Evaluate_AsciiExpression( void *interp, const char *string );
  2864. int
  2865. MyForCommand( void *interp,
  2866. int argc,
  2867. char **argv )
  2868. @{
  2869. if( argc != 5 )@{
  2870. SetResult( interp, "WRONG number of parameters");
  2871. return ERROR;
  2872. @}
  2873. // argv[0] = the ascii string just like C
  2874. // Execute the start statement.
  2875. Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[1] );
  2876. // Top of loop test
  2877. for(;;)@{
  2878. i = Evaluate_AsciiExpression(interp, argv[2]);
  2879. if( i == 0 )
  2880. break;
  2881. // Execute the body
  2882. Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[3] );
  2883. // Execute the LOOP part
  2884. Execute_AsciiString( interp, argv[4] );
  2885. @}
  2886. // Return no error
  2887. SetResult( interp, "" );
  2888. return SUCCESS;
  2889. @}
  2890. @end example
  2891. Every other command IF, WHILE, FORMAT, PUTS, EXPR, everything works
  2892. in the same basic way.
  2893. @section OpenOCD TCL Usage
  2894. @subsection source and find commands
  2895. @b{Where:} In many configuration files
  2896. @* Example: @b{ source [find FILENAME] }
  2897. @*Remember the parsing rules
  2898. @enumerate
  2899. @item The FIND command is in square brackets.
  2900. @* The FIND command is executed with the parameter FILENAME. It should
  2901. find the full path to the named file. The RESULT is a string, which is
  2902. subsituted on the orginal command line.
  2903. @item The command source is executed with the resulting filename.
  2904. @* SOURCE reads a file and executes as a script.
  2905. @end enumerate
  2906. @subsection format command
  2907. @b{Where:} Generally occurs in numerous places.
  2908. @* TCL no command like @b{printf()}, intead it has @b{format}, which is really more like
  2909. @b{sprintf()}.
  2910. @b{Example}
  2911. @example
  2912. set x 6
  2913. set y 7
  2914. puts [format "The answer: %d" [expr $x * $y]]
  2915. @end example
  2916. @enumerate
  2917. @item The SET command creates 2 variables, X and Y.
  2918. @item The double [nested] EXPR command performs math
  2919. @* The EXPR command produces numerical result as a string.
  2920. @* Refer to Rule #1
  2921. @item The format command is executed, producing a single string
  2922. @* Refer to Rule #1.
  2923. @item The PUTS command outputs the text.
  2924. @end enumerate
  2925. @subsection Body Or Inlined Text
  2926. @b{Where:} Various TARGET scripts.
  2927. @example
  2928. #1 Good
  2929. proc someproc @{@} @{
  2930. ... multiple lines of stuff ...
  2931. @}
  2932. $_TARGETNAME configure -event FOO someproc
  2933. #2 Good - no variables
  2934. $_TARGETNAME confgure -event foo "this ; that;"
  2935. #3 Good Curly Braces
  2936. $_TARGETNAME configure -event FOO @{
  2937. puts "Time: [date]"
  2938. @}
  2939. #4 DANGER DANGER DANGER
  2940. $_TARGETNAME configure -event foo "puts \"Time: [date]\""
  2941. @end example
  2942. @enumerate
  2943. @item The $_TARGETNAME is an OpenOCD variable convention.
  2944. @*@b{$_TARGETNAME} represents the last target created, the value changes
  2945. each time a new target is created. Remember the parsing rules. When
  2946. the ascii text is parsed, the @b{$_TARGETNAME} becomes a simple string,
  2947. the name of the target which happens to be a TARGET (object)
  2948. command.
  2949. @item The 2nd parameter to the @option{-event} parameter is a TCBODY
  2950. @*There are 4 examples:
  2951. @enumerate
  2952. @item The TCLBODY is a simple string that happens to be a proc name
  2953. @item The TCLBODY is several simple commands semi-colon seperated
  2954. @item The TCLBODY is a multi-line @{curly-brace@} quoted string
  2955. @item The TCLBODY is a string with variables that get expanded.
  2956. @end enumerate
  2957. In the end, when the target event FOO occurs the TCLBODY is
  2958. evaluated. Method @b{#1} and @b{#2} are functionally identical. For
  2959. Method @b{#3} and @b{#4} it is more interesting. What is the TCLBODY?
  2960. Remember the parsing rules. In case #3, @{curly-braces@} mean the
  2961. $VARS and [square-brackets] are expanded later, when the EVENT occurs,
  2962. and the text is evaluated. In case #4, they are replaced before the
  2963. ``Target Object Command'' is executed. This occurs at the same time
  2964. $_TARGETNAME is replaced. In case #4 the date will never
  2965. change. @{BTW: [date] is perhaps a bad example, as of 28/nov/2008,
  2966. Jim/OpenOCD does not have a date command@}
  2967. @end enumerate
  2968. @subsection Global Variables
  2969. @b{Where:} You might discover this when writing your own procs @* In
  2970. simple terms: Inside a PROC, if you need to access a global variable
  2971. you must say so. Also see ``upvar''. Example:
  2972. @example
  2973. proc myproc @{ @} @{
  2974. set y 0 #Local variable Y
  2975. global x #Global variable X
  2976. puts [format "X=%d, Y=%d" $x $y]
  2977. @}
  2978. @end example

  3001. @cindex Target library
  3002. OpenOCD comes with a target configuration script library. These scripts can be
  3003. used as-is or serve as a starting point.
  3004. The target library is published together with the openocd executable and
  3005. the path to the target library is in the OpenOCD script search path.
  3006. Similarly there are example scripts for configuring the JTAG interface.
  3007. The command line below uses the example parport configuration scripts
  3008. that ship with OpenOCD, then configures the str710.cfg target and
  3009. finally issues the init and reset command. The communication speed
  3010. is set to 10kHz for reset and 8MHz for post reset.
  3011. @example
  3012. openocd -f interface/parport.cfg -f target/str710.cfg -c "init" -c "reset"
  3013. @end example
  3014. To list the target scripts available:
