This file should include highlights of the changes made in the
OpenOCD openocd-0.3.0 source archive release. See the repository
history for details about what changed, including bugfixes and
other issues not mentioned here.
JTAG Layer:
FT2232H (high speed USB) support doesn't need separate configuration
New FT2232H JTAG adapters: Amontec, Olimex, Signalyzer
New reset_config options for SRST gating the JTAG clock (or not)
TAP declaration no longer requires ircapture and mask attributes
Scan chain setup should be more robust, with better diagnostics
New TAP events:
"post-reset" for TAP-invariant setup code (TAPs not usable yet)
"setup" for use once TAPs are addressable (e.g. with ICEpick)
Overridable Tcl "init_reset" and "jtag_init" procedures
Simple "autoprobe" mechanism to help simplify server setup
Boundary Scan:
SVF bugfixes ... parsing fixes, better STATE switch conformance
XSVF bugfixes ... be more correct, handle Xilinx tool output
Target Layer:
Warn on use of obsolete numeric target IDs
New commands for use with Cortex-M3 processors:
"cortex_m3 disassemble" ... Thumb2 disassembly (UAL format)
"cortex_m3 vector_catch" ... traps certain hardware faults
without tying up breakpoint resources
If you're willing to help debug it
VERY EARLY Cortex-A8 and ARMv7A support
Updated BeagleBoard.org hardware support
you may need to explicitly "reset" after connect-to-Beagle
New commands for use with XScale processors: "xscale vector_table"
ARM
bugfixes to single-stepping Thumb code
ETM: unavailable registers are not listed
ETB, ETM: report actual hardware status
ARM9
name change: "arm9 vector_catch" not "arm9tdmi vector_catch"
ARM11
single stepping support for i.MX31
bugfix for missing "arm11" prefix on "arm11 memwrite ..."
GDB support
gdb_attach command is gone
Flash Layer:
The lpc2000 driver handles the new NXP LPC1700 (Cortex-M3) chips
New drivers:
lpc2900, for NXP LPC2900 chips (ARM968 based)
mx3_nand, for imx31
New "last" flag for NOR "flash erase_sector" and "flash protect"
The "nand erase N" command now erases all of bank N
Speed up davinci_nand by about 3x
Board, Target, and Interface Configuration Scripts:
Amontec JTAGkey2 support
Cleanup and additions for the TI/Luminary Stellaris scripts
LPC1768 target (and flash) support
Keil MCB1700 eval board
Samsung s3c2450
Mini2440 board
Numeric TAP and Target identifiers now trigger warnings
PXA255 partially enumerates
Documentation:
Capture more debugging and setup advice
Notes on target source code changes that may help debugging
Build and Release:
Repository moved from SVN at Berlios to GIT at SourceForge
Clean builds on (32-bit) Cygwin
Clean builds on 64-bit MinGW
