/** @page targetnotarm OpenOCD Non-ARM Targets
|
|
|
|
This page describes outstanding issues w.r.t. non-ARM targets.
|
|
|
|
@section targetnotarmflash Flash drivers
|
|
|
|
The flash drivers contain ARM32 code that is used
|
|
to execute code on the target.
|
|
|
|
This needs to be handled in some CPU independent
|
|
manner.
|
|
|
|
The ocl and ecos flash drivers compile the flash
|
|
driver code to run on the target on the developer
|
|
machine.
|
|
|
|
The ocl and ecos flash drivers should be unified
|
|
and instructions should be written on how to
|
|
compile the target flash drivers. Perhaps
|
|
using automake?
|
|
|
|
|
|
eCos has CFI driver that could probably be compiled
|
|
for all targets. The trick is to figure out a
|
|
way to make the compiled flash drivers work
|
|
on all target memory maps + sort out all the
|
|
little details
|
|
|
|
@section targetnotarm32v64 32 vs. 64 bit
|
|
|
|
Currently OpenOCD only supports 32 bit targets.
|
|
|
|
Adding 64 bit support would be nice but there
|
|
hasn't been any call for it in the openocd development
|
|
mailing list
|
|
|
|
@section targetnotarmsupport Target Support
|
|
|
|
target.h is relatively CPU agnostic and
|
|
the intention is to move in the direction of less
|
|
instruction set specific.
|
|
|
|
Non-CPU targets are also supported, but there isn't
|
|
a lot of activity on it in the mailing list currently.
|
|
An example is FPGA programming support via JTAG,
|
|
but also flash chips can be programmed directly
|
|
using JTAG.
|
|
|
|
@section targetnotarmphy non-JTAG physical layer
|
|
|
|
JTAG is not the only physical protocol used to talk to
|
|
CPUs.
|
|
|
|
OpenOCD does not today have targets that use non-JTAG.
|
|
|
|
The actual physical layer is a relatively modest part
|
|
of the total OpenOCD system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
@section targetnotarmppc PowerPC
|
|
|
|
there exists open source implementations of powerpc
|
|
target manipulation, but there hasn't been a lot
|
|
of activity in the mailing list.
|
|
|
|
@section targetnotarmmips MIPS
|
|
|
|
Currently OpenOCD has a MIPS target defined. This is the
|
|
first non-ARM example of a CPU target
