Plan for hosted scripting support in OpenOCD
|
||||
============================================
|
||||
Jim Tcl support in OpenOCD currently exists as a patch.
|
||||
|
||||
There has been some discussion on the list as to what
|
||||
purpose scripting support might serve in OpenOCD.
|
||||
|
||||
Also Lua was proposed as a scripting language, but
|
||||
only Jim Tcl has been forwarded as a patch.
|
||||
|
||||
Tcl is also backwards syntax compatible with OpenOCD
|
||||
commands.

Tcl has an advantage in that it's syntax is backwards
|
||||
compatible with the current OpenOCD syntax.

- external scripting. Low level tcl functions will be defined
|
||||
that return machine readable output. These low level tcl
|
||||
functions constitute the tcl api. flash_banks is such
|

a low level tcl proc. "flash banks" is an example of
|

a command that has human readable output. The human
|
||||
readable output is expected to change inbetween versions
|
||||
of OpenOCD. The output from flash_banks may not be
|
||||
in the preferred form for the client. The client then
|
||||
has two choices a) parse the output from flash_banks
|
||||
or b) write a small piece of tcl to output the
|
||||
flash_banks output to a more suitable form. The latter may
|
||||
be simpler.
