The OpenOCD 0.2.0 source archive release includes numerous improvements
|
|
that were made since the initial 0.1.0 source archive release. Many
|
|
contributors helped make this release a great success, and the community
|
|
of developers and maintainers look forward to any response.
|
|
|
|
In addition to the list of changes below, countless bug fixing and
|
|
cleaning was performed across the tree. Various TCL command parameters
|
|
must past stricter value checks, and many more error conditions have
|
|
been handled correctly. These efforts helped to make the 0.2.0 release
|
|
more stable and robust, though some changes may expose latent bugs in
|
|
your existing configuration scripts.
|
|
|
|
This release does not maintain backward compatibility in all respects,
|
|
so some target or configuration scripts may need to be updated. In some
|
|
cases, you may also see warnings; resolve those, because they indicate
|
|
commands that will be removed in the future.
|
|
|
|
The following areas of OpenOCD functionality changed in this release:
|
|
|
|
JTAG Layer:
|
|
- Improves modularity: core, TCL, driver commands, and interface have
|
|
been separated, encapsulated, and documented for developers. Mostly.
|
|
- Improves JTAG TAP transition tables:
|
|
* Makes TAP paths variable length, rather than being fixed at 7 steps.
|
|
* Fixes problems with some targets that did not like longer paths.
|
|
- Improves JTAG driver/minidriver modularity and encapsulation.
|
|
- New drivers:
|
|
* Adds stub minidriver for developing new embedded JTAG interfaces.
|
|
- Improves drivers:
|
|
* ft2232+ftd2xx:
|
|
+ Adds initial high-speed device support: --enable-ftd2xx-highspeed
|
|
+ Supports more types of FTDI-based devices.
|
|
* jlink:
|
|
+ Works with more versions of the firmware (v3 and newer)
|
|
+ Supports dynamically detects device capabilities and limits
|
|
* vsllink:
|
|
+ Supports very long scan chains
|
|
* amtjtagaccel:
|
|
+ Fixes broken ID code detection problems.
|
|
|
|
Target Layer:
|
|
- New devices: AVR, FA526
|
|
- Improved support: ARM ADI, ARM11, MIPS
|
|
- Numerous other bug fixes and improvements
|
|
|
|
Flash Layer:
|
|
- Improved drivers: mflash
|
|
- New drivers: AT91SAM3, AVR, Davinci NAND
|
|
|
|
Board, Interface, and Target Configuration Scripts:
|
|
- Many new and improved targets and boards are now available.
|
|
- Better separation of "board" and "target" configuration
|
|
- Moved all TCL files to top-level "tcl" directory in the source tree
|
|
- Installation moved from '$pkglibdir/' to '$pkgdatadir/scripts/'.
|
|
- Site-specific files should be installed under '$pkgdatadir/site/';
|
|
files that exist this tree will be used in preference to default
|
|
distribution configurations in '$pkgdatadir/scripts/'.
|
|
|
|
Documentation:
|
|
- Updated User Guide: http://openocd.berlios.de/doc/html/index.html
|
|
* Partially re-written and re-organized.
|
|
* Standardized presentation for all commands.
|
|
* Covers many drivers and commands that were previously omitted.
|
|
* New index for commands and drivers.
|
|
- Added Developer Manual: http://openocd.berlios.de/doc/doxygen/index.html
|
|
* Now includes architecture, technical primers, style guides, and more.
|
|
* Available in-tree and on-line.
|
|
|
|
Build and Release:
|
|
- Increased configuration and compilation warning coverage.
|
|
* Use --disable-werror to work around build errors caused by warnings.
|
|
- Use libtool to produce helper libraries as a step toward "libopenocd".
|
|
- New processes and scripting to facilitate future source releases.
