@subsection thelistjtagcore JTAG Core
-The following tasks have been suggeted for cleaning up the JTAG layer:
+The following tasks have been suggested for cleaning up the JTAG layer:
- use tap_set_state everywhere to allow logging TAP state transitions
- rename other tap_states to use standard JTAG names (suggested by ML)
- Encapsulate cmd_queue_cur_state and related varaible handling.
+- add slick 32 bit versions of jtag_add_xxx_scan() that avoids
+buf_set_u32() calls and other evidence of poor impedance match between
+API and calling code. New API should cut down # of lines in calling
+code by 100's and make things clearer. Also potentially be supported
+directly in minidriver API for better embedded host performance.
The following tasks have been suggested for adding new core JTAG support:
- general layer cleanup: @par
https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/openocd-development/2009-May/006590.html
-- regression: xscale does not place debug_handler.bin into the right spot: @par
+- regression: xscale does not place debug_handler.bin into the right spot. workaround:
+ use -s option on command line to place xscale/debug_handler.bin in search path @par
https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/openocd-development/2009-July/009338.html
+- bug: either USBprog is broken with new tms sequence or there is a general
+ problem with XScale and the new tms sequence. Workaround: use "tms_sequence long"
+ @par
+ https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/openocd-development/2009-July/009426.html
- regression: "reset halt" between 729(works) and 788(fails): @par
https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/openocd-development/2009-July/009206.html
- ARM923EJS:
- reset run/halt/step is not robust; needs testing to map out problems.
- ARM11 improvements (MB?)
- - fix single stepping (reported by �H)
+ - fix single stepping (reported by ØH). Need to automatically
+ use hardware stepping if available.
+ - hunt down and add timeouts to all infinite loops, e.g. arm11_run_instr_no_data would
+ lock up in infinite loop if e.g. an "mdh" command tries to read memory from invalid memory location.
+ Try mdh 0x40000000 on i.MX31 PDK
+ - mdb can return garbage data if read byte operation fails for
+ a memory region(16 & 32 byte access modes may be supported). Is this
+ a bug in the .MX31 PDK init script? Try on i.MX31 PDK:
+ mdw 0xb80005f0 0x8, mdh 0xb80005f0 0x10, mdb 0xb80005f0 0x20. mdb returns
+ garabage.
- implement missing functionality (grep FNC_INFO_NOTIMPLEMENTED ...)
+ - thumb support is missing: ISTR ARMv6 requires Thumb.
+ ARM1156 has Thumb2; ARM1136 doesn't.
- Cortex A8 support (ML)
- add target implementation (ML)
- MC1322x support (JW/DE?)

- finish implementing bus width/chip width handling (suggested by NC)
- factor vendor-specific code into separate source files
- add new callback interface for vendor-specific code
