oharboe 815c3b3533 - "flash write_binary" is now "flash write_bank" to clarify the focus of the 
command and reduce confusion with "flash write_image".
- retired deprecated "flash erase" & "flash write".
- added flash_driver_protect/write/erase() that are wafer thin frontend
 functions to low level driver functions. They implement checks
 that were inconsistently handled by the drivers, e.g. check for
 target halted was done in a spotty fashion.
- use return ERROR_COMMAND_SYNTAX_ERROR to print out
 syntax of command instead of having lots of inlined replicas of
 the command line syntax(some of which were wrong).
- use logging instead of dubious translation of error values to
 human understandable explanations of why things failed.
 The lower levels log the precise reason and the higher
 levels can ammend context as the error propagates up
 the call stack.
- simplified flash API slightly with logging instead of
 allocating and returning information that the caller then
 has to translate into print statements.

			 Free and Open On-Chip Debugging, In-System Programming

The debugger uses an IEEE 1149-1 compliant JTAG TAP bus master to access on-chip
debug functionality available on ARM7 and ARM9 based microcontrollers /
system-on-chip solutions.

User interaction is realized through a telnet command line interface and a gdb
(The GNU Debugger) remote protocol server.

1. JTAG hardware

Currently, OpenOCD supports the following JTAG interfaces:

- Parallel port wigglers. These devices connect to a PC's parallel port,
providing direct access to the JTAG lines. The OpenOCD contains descriptions
of a few Wiggler layouts, including the original 'Wiggler' design. Other
layouts (i.e. mapping of parallel port pins to JTAG lines) can be added easily.
Typical Wiggler speeds are around 12kByte/s code download to an ARM7's RAM.

The list of supported parallel port devices includes:

  * Macraigor Wiggler JTAG cable
  * Gateworks GW16012 JTAG programmer
  * Xilinx DLC5 JTAG parallel cable III
  * Ka-Ro TRITON starterkit II JTAG cable
  * Lattice parallel port JTAG cable
  * ST FlashLINK programming cable

- The Amontec JTAG Accelerator. This is a configuration for Amontec's Chameleon
dongle, a parallel port interface based on a Xilinx CoolRunner CPLD. It uses
the IEEE1284 EPP parallel port specification, providing many times the
performance achievable with wiggler-style devices. Additional information is
available on www.amontec.com.
Typical JTAG Accelerator speeds are around 120-160kByte/s to an ARM7's RAM.

- FTDI FT2232 based USB devices. The FT2232 (but not FT232 or FT245) features a
multi-protocol synchronous serial engine (MPSSE) that can be used to run the
serial JTAG protocol. There are several implemenations of FT2232 based devices:

* USBJTAG: http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~hhoegl/proj/usbjtag/usbjtag.html
The USBJTAG was designed by Prof. Hubert Hoegl to provide a high-speed USB
interface for use with the OpenOCD. Schematics are available at the USBJTAG
website, and a homebrew device can easily be built using the FTDI evaluation
module DLP2232M.

* OOCD-Link: http://www.joernonline.de/dw/doku.php?id=en:projects:oocdlink
Similar to the USBJTAG, this design comes with free schematics, too.

* Amontec JTAGkey: www.amontec.com
The Amontec JTAGkey offers support for a wide variety of target voltages from
1.4V to 5V. It also allows the JTAG lines and reset signals to be tri-stated,
allowing easy interfacing with a wide variety of targets.

* Amontec JTAGkey-Tiny: www.amontec.com
The Amontec JTAGkey offers support for a wide variety of target voltages from
2.8V to 5V. It also allows the reset signals to be tri-stated, allowing easy
interfacing with a wide variety of targets.

* Olimex ARM-USB-OCD: www.olimex.com
The Olimex ARM-USB-OCD offers support for a wide vriety of target voltages from
2.0V to 5V. It also allows targets to be powered from the ARM-USB-OCD and
features and additional RS232 UART.

* eVerve Signalyzer: www.signalyzer.com
The Signalyzer offers support for a wide variety of target voltages from 1.2V to
5.5V. A second connector provides access to a TTL level UART.

* TinCanTools 'Flyswatter' USB JTAG programmer.

* Turtelizer 2: http://www.ethernut.de/en/hardware/turtelizer/index.html
Another USB JTAG programmer, with freely available schematics. It supports
target voltages from 1.65V to 5.5V.

* Hitex STR9-comSTICK: http://www.ehitex.de/p_info.php?products_id=292
A STR912FW44x microcontroller "board" with USB and JTAG functionality.

* Luminary Micro development board evb_lm3s811 JTAG interface.

* ASIX PRESTO: http://www.asix-tools.com/prg_presto.htm
The ASIX PRESTO is a USB JTAG programmer for a wide range of components, e.g.
microcontrollers, serial EEPROM and Flash memory chips, CPLDs and others.

* usbprog: http://www.embedded-projects.net/index.php?page_id=165
The usbprog is a freely programmable USB adapter, which can (among other
things) use a firmware which turns it into a JTAG programmer/debugger.

All FT2232 based devices may be accessed using either FTDI's proprietary FTD2XX
library (www.ftdichip.com) or using an open-source replacement from
http://www.intra2net.com/de/produkte/opensource/ftdi/index.php, also included
with many Linux distributions.

2. Supported cores

3. Host platforms

OpenOCD was originally developed on x86-Linux, but has since then been ported
to run on Windows/Cygwin, native Windows with MinGW, FreeBSD, IA64-Linux,
AMD64-Linux, Alpha-Linux, ARM-Linux, and PowerPC OS-X.

4. Documentation

Documentation for the OpenOCD is hosted in the Berlios OpenFacts Wiki at
