-The debugger uses an IEEE 1149-1 compliant JTAG TAP bus master to access on-chip
-debug functionality available on ARM7 and ARM9 based microcontrollers /
-system-on-chip solutions.
-
-User interaction is realized through a telnet command line interface and a gdb
-(The GNU Debugger) remote protocol server.
-
-1. JTAG hardware
-
-Currently, OpenOCD supports the following JTAG interfaces:
-
-- Parallel port wigglers. These devices connect to a PC's parallel port,
-providing direct access to the JTAG lines. The OpenOCD contains descriptions
-of a few Wiggler layouts, including the original 'Wiggler' design. Other
-layouts (i.e. mapping of parallel port pins to JTAG lines) can be added easily.
-Typical Wiggler speeds are around 12kByte/s code download to an ARM7's RAM.
-
-The list of supported parallel port devices includes:
-
- * Macraigor Wiggler JTAG cable
- * Gateworks GW16012 JTAG programmer
- * Xilinx DLC5 JTAG parallel cable III
- * Ka-Ro TRITON starterkit II JTAG cable
- * Lattice parallel port JTAG cable
- * ST FlashLINK programming cable
- * Wiggler 2 cable (basically a wiggler with an LED)
-
-- The Amontec JTAG Accelerator. This is a configuration for Amontec's Chameleon
-dongle, a parallel port interface based on a Xilinx CoolRunner CPLD. It uses
-the IEEE1284 EPP parallel port specification, providing many times the
-performance achievable with wiggler-style devices. Additional information is
-available on www.amontec.com.
-Typical JTAG Accelerator speeds are around 120-160kByte/s to an ARM7's RAM.
-
-- FTDI FT2232 based USB devices. The FT2232 (but not FT232 or FT245) features a
-multi-protocol synchronous serial engine (MPSSE) that can be used to run the
-serial JTAG protocol. There are several implemenations of FT2232 based devices:
-
-* USBJTAG: http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~hhoegl/proj/usbjtag/usbjtag.html
-The USBJTAG was designed by Prof. Hubert Hoegl to provide a high-speed USB
-interface for use with the OpenOCD. Schematics are available at the USBJTAG
-website, and a homebrew device can easily be built using the FTDI evaluation
-module DLP2232M.
-
-* OOCD-Link: http://www.joernonline.de/dw/doku.php?id=en:projects:oocdlink
-Similar to the USBJTAG, this design comes with free schematics, too.
-
-* Amontec JTAGkey: www.amontec.com
-The Amontec JTAGkey offers support for a wide variety of target voltages from
-1.4V to 5V. It also allows the JTAG lines and reset signals to be tri-stated,
-allowing easy interfacing with a wide variety of targets.
-
-* Amontec JTAGkey-Tiny: www.amontec.com
-The Amontec JTAGkey offers support for a wide variety of target voltages from
-2.8V to 5V. It also allows the reset signals to be tri-stated, allowing easy
-interfacing with a wide variety of targets.
-
-* Olimex ARM-USB-OCD: www.olimex.com
-The Olimex ARM-USB-OCD offers support for a wide vriety of target voltages from
-2.0V to 5V. It also allows targets to be powered from the ARM-USB-OCD and
-features and additional RS232 UART.
-
-* eVerve Signalyzer: www.signalyzer.com
-The Signalyzer offers support for a wide variety of target voltages from 1.2V to
-5.5V. A second connector provides access to a TTL level UART.
-
-* TinCanTools 'Flyswatter' USB JTAG programmer.
-
-* Turtelizer 2: http://www.ethernut.de/en/hardware/turtelizer/index.html
-Another USB JTAG programmer, with freely available schematics. It supports
-target voltages from 1.65V to 5.5V.
-
-* Hitex STR9-comStick: http://www.ehitex.de/p_info.php?products_id=292
-A STR912FW44x microcontroller "board" with USB and JTAG functionality.
-
-* Hitex STM32-PerformanceStick: http://www.hitex.com/stm32-stick/
-A STM32F103RBT6 microcontroller "board" with USB and JTAG functionality.
-
-* Luminary Micro development board evb_lm3s811 JTAG interface.
-
-* ASIX PRESTO: http://www.asix-tools.com/prg_presto.htm
-The ASIX PRESTO is a USB JTAG programmer for a wide range of components, e.g.
-microcontrollers, serial EEPROM and Flash memory chips, CPLDs and others.
-
-* usbprog: http://www.embedded-projects.net/index.php?page_id=165
-The usbprog is a freely programmable USB adapter, which can (among other
-things) use a firmware which turns it into a JTAG programmer/debugger.
-
-* Altium universal JTAG cable
-
-All FT2232 based devices may be accessed using either FTDI's proprietary FTD2XX
-library (www.ftdichip.com) or using an open-source replacement from
-http://www.intra2net.com/de/produkte/opensource/ftdi/index.php, also included
-with many Linux distributions.
-
-2. Supported cores
-
-This version of openocd supports the following ARM7/9 cores:
-
-- ARM7TDMI(-s)
-- ARM9TDMI
-- ARM920t
-- ARM922t

-
-3. Host platforms
-
-OpenOCD was originally developed on x86-Linux, but has since then been ported
-to run on Windows/Cygwin, native Windows with MinGW, FreeBSD, IA64-Linux,
-AMD64-Linux, Alpha-Linux, ARM-Linux, and PowerPC OS-X.
-
-4. Documentation
-
-Documentation for the OpenOCD is hosted in the Berlios OpenFacts Wiki at
-http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.phtml?title=Open_On-Chip_Debugger.
-
-There is also and openocd(1) manpage, the 'openocd --help' output and
-an OpenOCD info page (type 'info openocd').
-
-5. Coding Style
-
-The following rules try to describe formatting and naming conventions that
-should be followed to make the whole OpenOCD code look more consistent.
-The ultimate goal of coding style should be readability, and these rules may
-be ignored for a particular (small) piece of code if that makes it more
-readable.
-
-Formatting rules:
-- remove any trailing white space
-- use TAB characters for indentation, not spaces
-- displayed TAB width is 4 characters
-- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
-- do not add more than 2 empty lines to source files
-- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
-- do not use C++ style comments (//)
-- lines may be reasonably wide - there's no anachronistic 80 characters limit
-
-Naming rules:
-- identifiers use lower-case letters only
-- identifiers consisting of multiple words use underline characters between
-consecutive words
-- macros use upper-case letters only
-- structure names shall be appended with '_s'
-- typedefs shall be appended with '_t'
-
-Function calls:
-- function calls have no space between the functions name and the parameter
-list: my_func(param1, param2, ...)
