1 This file includes highlights of the changes made in the
2 OpenOCD 0.5.0 source archive release. See the repository
3 history for details about what changed, including bugfixes
4 and other issues not mentioned here.
7 New driver for "Bus Pirate"
8 Rename various commands so they're not JTAG-specific
9 There are migration procedures for most of these, but you should
10 convert your scripts to the new names, since those procedures
11 will not be around forever.
12 jtag jinterface ... is now adapter_name
13 jtag_khz ... is now adapter_khz
14 jtag_nsrst_delay ... is now adapter_nsrst_delay
15 jtag_nsrst_assert_width ... is now adapter_nsrst_assert_width
16 Support Voipac VPACLink JTAG Adapter.
20 Transport framework core ... supporting future work for SWD, SPI, and other
21 non-JTAG ways to debug targets or program flash.
25 - basic semihosting support (ARMv7M).
26 - renamed "armv7m" command prefix as "arm"
28 - "ejtag_srst" variant removed. The same functionality is
29 obtained by using "reset_config none".
30 - added PIC32MX software reset support, this means srst is not
31 required to be connected anymore.
34 New "stellaris recover" command, implements the procedure
35 to recover locked devices (restoring non-volatile
36 state to the factory defaults, including erasing
37 the flash and its protection bits, and possibly
38 re-enabling hardware debugging).
39 PIC32MX now uses algorithm for flash programming, this
40 has increased the performance by approx 96%.
41 New 'pic32mx unlock' cmd to remove readout protection.
42 New STM32 Value Line Support.
43 New 'virtual' flash driver, used to associate other addresses
44 with a flash bank. See pic32mx.cfg for usage.
45 New iMX27 NAND flash controller driver.
47 Board, Target, and Interface Configuration Scripts:
48 Support IAR LPC1768 kickstart board (by Olimex)
49 Support Voipac PXA270/PXA270M module.
50 New $PARPORTADDR tcl variable used to change default
51 parallel port address used.
52 Remove lm3s811.cfg; use "stellaris.cfg" instead
54 Core Jim/TCL Scripting:
55 New "add_script_search_dir" command, behaviour is the same
56 as the "-s" cmd line option.
