Boundary Scan:
Target Layer:
- General
- - new "reset-assert" event, for systems without SRST
- ARM
- - supports "reset-assert" event (except on Cortex-M3)
- - renamed "armv4_5" command prefix as "arm"
- - recognize TrustZone "Secure Monitor" mode
- - "arm regs" command output changed
- - register names use "sp" not "r13"
- - add top-level "mcr" and "mrc" commands, replacing
- various core-specific operations
- - basic semihosting support (ARM7/ARM9 only, for now)
- ARM11
- - Should act much more like other ARM cores:
- * Preliminary ETM and ETB hookup
- * accelerated "flash erase_check"
- * accelerated GDB memory checksum
- * support "arm regs" command
- * can access all core modes and registers
- * watchpoint support
- - Shares some core debug code with Cortex-A8
- Cortex-A8
- - Should act much more like other ARM cores:
- * support "arm regs" command
- * can access all core modes and registers
- * watchpoint support
- - Shares some core debug code with ARM11
- Cortex-M3
- - Exposed DWT registers like cycle counter
- - vector_catch settings not clobbered by resets
- - no longer interferes with firmware's fault handling
- ETM, ETB
- - "trigger_percent" command moved ETM --> ETB
- - "etm trigger_debug" command added
- MIPS
- - use fastdata writes
- Freescale DSP563xx cores (partial support)
+ * New target: Andes nds32
+ * New target: OpenRISC OR1K
+ * New target: Intel Quark X10xx
+ * MIPS EJTAG 1.5/2.0 support
+ * MIPS speed improvements
+ * Cortex-M, Cortex-A (MEM-AP, APB-AP) targets working with BE
+ hosts now
+ * XScale vector_catch support, reset fixes
+ * dsp563xx ad-hoc breakpoint/watchpoint support
+ * RTOS support for embKernel
+ * Target profiling improvements
+ * Memory access functions testbench
Flash Layer:
- 'flash bank' and 'nand device' take <bank_name> as first argument.
- With this, flash/NAND commands allow referencing banks by name:
- - <bank_name>: reference the bank with its defined name
- - <driver_name>[.N]: reference the driver's Nth bank
- New 'nand verify' command to check bank against an image file.
- The "flash erase_address" command now rejects partial sectors;
- previously it would silently erase extra data. If you
- want to erase the rest of the first and/or last sectors
- instead of failing, you must pass an explicit "pad" flag.
- New at91sam9 NAND controller driver.
- New s3c64xx NAND controller driver.
+ * STM32 family sync with reference manuals, other bugfixes
+ * STM32F401, STM32F07x support
+ * Atmel SAM4L, SAMG5x support
+ * at91sam3sd8{a,b}, at91sam3s8{a,b,c}, at91sam4s,
+ at91sam3n0{a,b,0a,0b} support, bugfixes
+ * Atmel SAMD support
+ * Milandr 1986ВЕ* support
+ * Kinetis KL, K21 support
+ * Nuvoton NuMicro MINI5{1,2,4} support
+ * Nuvoton NUC910 series support

+ * NXP LPC800, LPC810 support
+ * More ATmega parts supported
+ * Fujitsu MB9Ax family support
+ * EFM32 Wonder Gecko family support
+ * Nordic nRF51 support

+Server Layer:
+ * Auto-generation of GDB target description for ARMv7-M,
+ ARM4, nds32, OR1K, Quark

+ * RTOS documentation improvements
+ * Tcl RPC documentation and examples added
Build and Release:
- Use --enable-doxygen-pdf to build PDF developer documentation.
