1 This file includes highlights of the changes made in the
2 OpenOCD 0.4.0 source archive release. See the repository
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 - supports "reset-assert" event (except on Cortex-M3)
17 - renamed "armv4_5" command prefix as "arm"
18 - recognize TrustZone "Secure Monitor" mode
19 - "arm regs" command output changed
20 - register names use "sp" not "r13"
21 - add top-level "mcr" and "mrc" commands, replacing
22 various core-specific operations
23 - basic semihosting support (ARM7/ARM9 only, for now)
25 - Should act much more like other ARM cores:
26 * Preliminary ETM and ETB hookup
27 * accelerated "flash erase_check"
28 * accelerated GDB memory checksum
29 * support "arm regs" command
30 * can access all core modes and registers
32 - Shares some core debug code with Cortex-A8
34 - Should act much more like other ARM cores:
35 * support "arm regs" command
36 * can access all core modes and registers
38 - Shares some core debug code with ARM11
40 - Exposed DWT registers like cycle counter
41 - vector_catch settings not clobbered by resets
42 - no longer interferes with firmware's fault handling
44 - "trigger_percent" command moved ETM --> ETB
45 - "etm trigger_debug" command added
48 Freescale DSP563xx cores (partial support)
51 'flash bank' and 'nand device' take <bank_name> as first argument.
52 With this, flash/NAND commands allow referencing banks by name:
53 - <bank_name>: reference the bank with its defined name
54 - <driver_name>[.N]: reference the driver's Nth bank
55 New 'nand verify' command to check bank against an image file.
56 The "flash erase_address" command now rejects partial sectors;
57 previously it would silently erase extra data. If you
58 want to erase the rest of the first and/or last sectors
59 instead of failing, you must pass an explicit "pad" flag.
60 New at91sam9 NAND controller driver.
61 New s3c64xx NAND controller driver.
63 Board, Target, and Interface Configuration Scripts:
65 - ETM and ETB hookup for iMX2* targets
66 Add $HOME/.openocd to the search path.
67 Handle Rev C of LM3S811 eval boards.
68 - use "luminary-lm3s811.cfg" for older boards
69 - use "luminary.cfg" for RevC and newer
71 Core Jim/TCL Scripting:
72 New 'usage' command to provide terse command help.
73 Improved command 'help' command output (sorted and indented).
74 Improved command handling:
75 - Most boolean settings now accept any of the following:
76 on/off, enable/disable, true/false, yes/no, 1/0
77 - More error checking and reporting.
80 New built-in command development documentation and primer.
83 Use --enable-doxygen-pdf to build PDF developer documentation.
84 Consider upgrading to libftdi 0.17 if you use that library; it
85 includes bugfixes which improve FT2232H support.
