3 history for details about what changed, including bugfixes
4 and other issues not mentioned here.
7 Support KT-Link JTAG adapter.
8 Support USB-JTAG, Altera USB-Blaster and compatibles.
14 - new "reset-assert" event, for systems without SRST
16 - renamed "armv4_5" command prefix as "arm"
17 - recognize TrustZone "Secure Monitor" mode
18 - "arm regs" command output changed
19 - register names use "sp" not "r13"
20 - add top-level "mcr" and "mrc" commands, replacing
21 various core-specific operations
22 - basic semihosting support
24 - Preliminary ETM and ETB hookup
25 - accelerated "flash erase_check"
26 - accelerated GDB memory checksum
27 - support "arm regs" command
28 - can access all core modes and registers
31 - support "arm regs" command
32 - can access all core modes and registers
33 - supports "reset-assert" event (used on OMAP3530)
36 - Exposed DWT registers like cycle counter
37 - vector_catch settings not clobbered by resets
38 - no longer interferes with firmware's fault handling
40 - "trigger_percent" command moved ETM --> ETB
41 - "etm trigger_debug" command added
44 Freescale DSP563xx cores (partial support)
47 'flash bank' and 'nand device' take <bank_name> as first argument.
48 With this, flash/NAND commands allow referencing banks by name:
49 - <bank_name>: reference the bank with its defined name
50 - <driver_name>[.N]: reference the driver's Nth bank
51 New 'nand verify' command to check bank against an image file.
52 The "flash erase_address" command now rejects partial sectors;
53 previously it would silently erase extra data. If you
54 want to erase the rest of the first and/or last sectors
55 instead of failing, you must pass an explicit "pad" flag.
56 New at91sam9 NAND controller driver.
58 Board, Target, and Interface Configuration Scripts:
60 - ETM and ETB hookup for iMX2* targets
61 Add $HOME/.openocd to the search path.
62 Handle Rev C of LM3S811 eval boards.
63 - use "luminary-lm3s811.cfg" for older boards
64 - use "luminary.cfg" for RevC and newer
66 Core Jim/TCL Scripting:
67 New 'usage' command to provide terse command help.
68 Improved command 'help' command output (sorted and indented).
69 Improved command handling:
70 - Most boolean settings now accept any of the following:
71 on/off, enable/disable, true/false, yes/no, 1/0
72 - More error checking and reporting.
75 New built-in command development documentation and primer.
78 Use --enable-doxygen-pdf to build PDF developer documentation.
79 Consider upgrading to libftdi 0.17 if you use that library; it
80 includes bugfixes which improve FT2232H support.
