@cindex about
The Open On-Chip Debugger (openocd) aims to provide debugging, in-system programming
and boundary-scan testing for embedded target devices. The targets are interfaced
using JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) compliant hardware, but this may be extended to other
connection types in the future.
Openocd currently supports Wiggler (clones), FTDI FT2232 based JTAG interfaces, the
Amontec JTAG Accelerator, and the Gateworks GW1602. It allows ARM7 (ARM7TDMI and ARM720t),
ARM9 (ARM920t, ARM922t, ARM926ej--s, ARM966e--s), XScale (PXA25x, IXP42x) and
Cortex-M3 (Luminary Stellaris LM3 and ST STM32) based cores to be debugged.
Flash writing is supported for external CFI compatible flashes (Intel and AMD/Spansion
command set) and several internal flashes (LPC2000, AT91SAM7, STR7x, STR9x, LM3
and STM32x). Preliminary support for using the LPC3180's NAND flash controller is included.
@node Developers
@chapter Developers
@cindex developers
Openocd has been created by Dominic Rath as part of a diploma thesis written at the
University of Applied Sciences Augsburg (@uref{http://www.fh-augsburg.de}).
Others interested in improving the state of free and open debug and testing technology
are welcome to participate.
Other developers have contributed support for additional targets and flashes as well
as numerous bugfixes and enhancements. See the AUTHORS file for regular contributors.
@node Building
@chapter Building
@cindex building openocd
You can download the current SVN version with SVN client of your choice from the
following repositories:
(@uref{svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk})
or
(@uref{http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/openocd/trunk})
Using the SVN command line client, you could use the following command to fetch the
latest version (make sure there is no (non-svn) directory called "openocd" in the
current directory):
@smallexample
svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk
@end smallexample
Building the OpenOCD requires a recent version of the GNU autotools.
On my build system, I'm using autoconf 2.13 and automake 1.9. For building on Windows,
you have to use Cygwin. Make sure that your @env{PATH} environment variable contains no
other locations with Unix utils (like UnxUtils) - these can't handle the Cygwin
paths, resulting in obscure dependency errors (This is an observation I've gathered
from the logs of one user - correct me if I'm wrong).
You further need the appropriate driver files, if you want to build support for
a FTDI FT2232 based interface:
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{ftdi2232} libftdi (@uref{http://www.intra2net.com/opensource/ftdi/})
@item @b{ftd2xx} libftd2xx (@uref{http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm})
@item When using the Amontec JTAGkey, you have to get the drivers from the Amontec
homepage (@uref{www.amontec.com}), as the JTAGkey uses a non-standard VID/PID.
@end itemize
Please note that the ftdi2232 variant (using libftdi) isn't supported under Cygwin.
You have to use the ftd2xx variant (using FTDI's D2XX) on Cygwin.
In general, the D2XX driver provides superior performance (several times as fast),
but has the draw-back of being binary-only - though that isn't as worse, as it isn't
a kernel module, only a user space library.
To build OpenOCD (on both Linux and Cygwin), use the following commands:
@smallexample
./bootstrap
@end smallexample
Bootstrap generates the configure script, and prepares building on your system.
@smallexample
./configure
@end smallexample
Configure generates the Makefiles used to build OpenOCD
@smallexample
make
@end smallexample
Make builds the OpenOCD, and places the final executable in ./src/
The configure script takes several options, specifying which JTAG interfaces
should be included:
@itemize @bullet
@item
--enable-parport
@item
--enable-parport_ppdev
@item
--enable-amtjtagaccel
@item
--enable-ft2232_ftd2xx
@footnote{Using the latest D2XX drivers from FTDI and following their installation
instructions, I had to use @option{--enable-ft2232_libftd2xx} for the OpenOCD to
build properly}
@item
--enable-ft2232_libftdi
@item
--with-ftd2xx=/path/to/d2xx/
@end itemize
If you want to access the parallel port using the PPDEV interface you have to specify
both the @option{--enable-parport} AND the @option{--enable-parport_ppdev} option since
the @option{--enable-parport_ppdev} option actually is an option to the parport driver
(see @uref{http://forum.sparkfun.com/viewtopic.php?t=3795} for more info).
Cygwin users have to specify the location of the FTDI D2XX package. This should be an
absolute path containing no spaces.
Linux users should copy the various parts of the D2XX package to the appropriate
locations, i.e. /usr/include, /usr/lib.
@node Running
@chapter Running
@cindex running openocd
The OpenOCD runs as a daemon, waiting for connections from clients (Telnet or GDB).
Run with @option{--help} or @option{-h} to view the available command line arguments.
It reads its configuration by default from the file openocd.cfg located in the current
working directory. This may be overwritten with the @option{-f <configfile>} command line
switch.
To enable debug output (when reporting problems or working on OpenOCD itself), use
the @option{-d} command line switch. This sets the debug_level to "3", outputting
the most information, including debug messages. The default setting is "2", outputting
only informational messages, warnings and errors. You can also change this setting
from within a telnet or gdb session (@option{debug_level <n>}).
You can redirect all output from the daemon to a file using the @option{-l <logfile>} switch.
@node Configuration
@chapter Configuration
@cindex configuration
The Open On-Chip Debugger (OpenOCD) runs as a daemon, and reads it current configuration
by default from the file openocd.cfg in the current directory. A different configuration
file can be specified with the @option{-f <conf.file>} given at the openocd command line.
The configuration file is used to specify on which ports the daemon listens for new
connections, the JTAG interface used to connect to the target, the layout of the JTAG
chain, the targets that should be debugged, and connected flashes.
@section Daemon configuration
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{telnet_port} <@var{number}>
@cindex telnet_port
Port on which to listen for incoming telnet connections
@item @b{gdb_port} <@var{number}>
@cindex gdb_port
First port on which to listen for incoming GDB connections. The GDB port for the
first target will be gdb_port, the second target will listen on gdb_port + 1, and so on.
@item @b{gdb_detach} <@var{resume|reset|halt|nothing}>
@cindex gdb_detach
Configures what openocd will do when gdb detaches from the daeman.
Default behaviour is <@var{resume}>
@item @b{gdb_memory_map} <@var{enable|disable}>
@cindex gdb_memory_map
Set to <@var{enable}> so that openocd will send the memory configuration to gdb when
requested. gdb will then know when to set hardware breakpoints, and program flash
using the gdb load command. @option{gdb_flash_program enable} will also need enabling
for flash programming to work.
Default behaviour is <@var{disable}>
@item @b{gdb_flash_program} <@var{enable|disable}>
@cindex gdb_flash_program
Set to <@var{enable}> so that openocd will program the flash memory when a
vFlash packet is received.
Default behaviour is <@var{disable}>
@item @b{daemon_startup} <@var{mode}> either @samp{attach} or @samp{reset}
@cindex daemon_startup
Tells the OpenOCD whether it should reset the target when the daemon is launched, or
if it should just attach to the target.
@end itemize
@section JTAG interface configuration
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{interface} <@var{name}>
@cindex interface
Use the interface driver <@var{name}> to connect to the target. Currently supported
interfaces are
@itemize @minus
@item parport
PC parallel port bit-banging (Wigglers, PLD download cable, ...)
@end itemize
@itemize @minus
@item amt_jtagaccel
Amontec Chameleon in its JTAG Accelerator configuration connected to a PC's EPP
mode parallel port
@end itemize
@itemize @minus
@item ft2232
FTDI FT2232 based devices using either the open-source libftdi or the binary only
FTD2XX driver. The FTD2XX is superior in performance, but not available on every
platform. The libftdi uses libusb, and should be portable to all systems that provide
libusb.
@end itemize
@itemize @minus
@item ep93xx
Cirrus Logic EP93xx based single-board computer bit-banging (in development)
@end itemize
@end itemize
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{jtag_speed} <@var{number}>
@cindex jtag_speed
Limit the maximum speed of the JTAG interface. Usually, a value of zero means maximum
speed. The actual effect of this option depends on the JTAG interface used.
@itemize @minus
@item wiggler: maximum speed / @var{number}
@item ft2232: 6MHz / (@var{number}+1)
@item amt jtagaccel: 8 / 2**@var{number}
@end itemize
Note: Make sure the jtag clock is no more than @math{1/6th × CPU-Clock}. This is
especially true for synthesized cores (-S).
@item @b{reset_config} <@var{signals}> [@var{combination}] [@var{trst_type}] [@var{srst_type}]
@cindex reset_config
The configuration of the reset signals available on the JTAG interface AND the target.
If the JTAG interface provides SRST, but the target doesn't connect that signal properly,
then OpenOCD can't use it. <@var{signals}> can be @samp{none}, @samp{trst_only},
@samp{srst_only} or @samp{trst_and_srst}.
[@var{combination}] is an optional value specifying broken reset signal implementations.
@samp{srst_pulls_trst} states that the testlogic is reset together with the reset of
the system (e.g. Philips LPC2000, "broken" board layout), @samp{trst_pulls_srst} says
that the system is reset together with the test logic (only hypothetical, I haven't
seen hardware with such a bug, and can be worked around).
The [@var{trst_type}] and [@var{srst_type}] parameters allow the driver type of the
reset lines to be specified. Possible values are @samp{trst_push_pull} (default)
and @samp{trst_open_drain} for the test reset signal, and @samp{srst_open_drain}
(default) and @samp{srst_push_pull} for the system reset. These values only affect
JTAG interfaces with support for different drivers, like the Amontec JTAGkey and JTAGAccelerator.
@item @b{jtag_device} <@var{IR length}> <@var{IR capture}> <@var{IR mask}> <@var{IDCODE instruction}>
@cindex jtag_device
Describes the devices that form the JTAG daisy chain, with the first device being
the one closest to TDO. The parameters are the length of the instruction register
(4 for all ARM7/9s), the value captured during Capture-IR (0x1 for ARM7/9), and a mask
of bits that should be validated when doing IR scans (all four bits (0xf) for ARM7/9).
The IDCODE instruction will in future be used to query devices for their JTAG
identification code. This line is the same for all ARM7 and ARM9 devices.
Other devices, like CPLDs, require different parameters. An example configuration
line for a Xilinx XC9500 CPLD would look like this:
@smallexample
jtag_device 8 0x01 0x0e3 0xfe
@end smallexample
The instruction register (IR) is 8 bits long, during Capture-IR 0x01 is loaded into
the IR, but only bits 0-1 and 5-7 should be checked, the others (2-4) might vary.
The IDCODE instruction is 0xfe.
@item @b{jtag_nsrst_delay} <@var{ms}>
@cindex jtag_nsrst_delay
How long (in miliseconds) the OpenOCD should wait after deasserting nSRST before
starting new JTAG operations.
@item @b{jtag_ntrst_delay} <@var{ms}>
@cindex jtag_ntrst_delay
How long (in miliseconds) the OpenOCD should wait after deasserting nTRST before
starting new JTAG operations.
The jtag_n[st]rst_delay options are useful if reset circuitry (like a reset supervisor,
or on-chip features) keep a reset line asserted for some time after the external reset
got deasserted.
@end itemize
@section parport options
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{parport_port} <@var{number}>
@cindex parport_port
Either the address of the I/O port (default: 0x378 for LPT1) or the number of
the @file{/dev/parport} device
When using PPDEV to access the parallel port, use the number of the parallel port:
@option{parport_port 0} (the default). If @option{parport_port 0x378} is specified
you may encounter a problem.
@item @b{parport_cable} <@var{name}>
@cindex parport_cable
The layout of the parallel port cable used to connect to the target.
Currently supported cables are
@itemize @minus
@item wiggler

@item @b{ft2232_latency} <@var{ms}>
On some systems using ft2232 based JTAG interfaces the FT_Read function call in
ft2232_read() fails to return the expected number of bytes. This can be caused by
USB communication delays and has proved hard to reproduce and debug. Setting the
FT2232 latency timer to a larger value increases delays for short USB packages but it
also reduces the risk of timeouts before receiving the expected number of bytes.
The OpenOCD default value is 2 and for some systems a value of 10 has proved useful.

@item arm9tdmi
@item arm920t
@item arm922t
@item arm926ejs
@item arm966e

@item xscale
@end itemize
If you want to use a target board that is not on this list, see Adding a new
target board
Endianess may be @option{little} or @option{big}.
The reset_mode specifies what should happen to the target when a reset occurs:
@itemize @minus
@item reset_halt
@cindex reset_halt
Immediately request a target halt after reset. This allows targets to be debugged
from the very first instruction. This is only possible with targets and JTAG
interfaces that correctly implement the reset signals.
@item reset_init
@cindex reset_init
Similar to @option{reset_halt}, but executes the script file defined to handle the
'reset' event for the target. Like @option{reset_halt} this only works with
correct reset implementations.
@item reset_run
@cindex reset_run
Simply let the target run after a reset.
@item run_and_halt
@cindex run_and_halt
Let the target run for some time (default: 1s), and then request halt.
@item run_and_init
@cindex run_and_init
A combination of @option{reset_init} and @option{run_and_halt}. The target is allowed
to run for some time, then halted, and the @option{reset} event script is executed.
@end itemize
On JTAG interfaces / targets where system reset and test-logic reset can't be driven
completely independent (like the LPC2000 series), or where the JTAG interface is
unavailable for some time during startup (like the STR7 series), you can't use
@option{reset_halt} or @option{reset_init}.
@item @b{target_script} <@var{target#}> <@var{event}> <@var{script_file}>
@cindex target_script
Event is either @option{reset}, @option{post_halt}, @option{pre_resume} or @option{gdb_program_config}
TODO: describe exact semantic of events
@item @b{run_and_halt_time} <@var{target#}> <@var{time_in_ms}>
@cindex run_and_halt_time
The amount of time the debugger should wait after releasing reset before it asserts
a debug request. This is used by the @option{run_and_halt} and @option{run_and_init}
reset modes.
@item @b{working_area} <@var{target#}> <@var{address}> <@var{size}>
<@var{backup}|@var{nobackup}>
@cindex working_area
Specifies a working area for the debugger to use. This may be used to speed-up
downloads to target memory and flash operations, or to perform otherwise unavailable
operations (some coprocessor operations on ARM7/9 systems, for example). The last
parameter decides whether the memory should be preserved <@var{backup}>. If possible, use
a working_area that doesn't need to be backed up, as that slows down operation.

@chapter Commands
@cindex commands
The Open On-Chip Debugger (OpenOCD) allows user interaction through a telnet interface
(default: port 4444) and a GDB server (default: port 3333). The command line interpreter
is available from both the telnet interface and a GDB session. To issue commands to the
interpreter from within a GDB session, use the @option{monitor} command, e.g. use
@option{monitor poll} to issue the @option{poll} command. All output is relayed through the
GDB session.
@section Daemon

cables (FT2232), but might be unsafe if used with targets running at a very low
speed, like the 32kHz startup clock of an AT91RM9200.
@item @b{arm7_9 dcc_downloads} <@option{enable}|@option{disable}>
@cindex arm7_9 dcc_downloads
Enable the use of the debug communications channel (DCC) to write larger (>128 byte)
amounts of memory. DCC downloads offer a huge speed increase, but might be potentially
unsafe, especially with targets running at a very low speed. This command was introduced
with OpenOCD rev. 60.

@section Debug commands
@cindex Debug commands
The following commands give direct access to the core, and are most likely
only useful while debugging the OpenOCD.
@itemize @bullet
@item @b{arm7_9 write_xpsr} <@var{32-bit value}> <@option{0=cpsr}, @option{1=spsr}>
@cindex arm7_9 write_xpsr
Immediately write either the current program status register (CPSR) or the saved
program status register (SPSR), without changing the register cache (as displayed
by the @option{reg} and @option{armv4_5 reg} commands).
@item @b{arm7_9 write_xpsr_im8} <@var{8-bit value}> <@var{rotate 4-bit}>
<@var{0=cpsr},@var{1=spsr}>
@cindex arm7_9 write_xpsr_im8
Write the 8-bit value rotated right by 2*rotate bits, using an immediate write
operation (similar to @option{write_xpsr}).
@item @b{arm7_9 write_core_reg} <@var{num}> <@var{mode}> <@var{value}>
@cindex arm7_9 write_core_reg
Write a core register, without changing the register cache (as displayed by the
@option{reg} and @option{armv4_5 reg} commands). The <@var{mode}> argument takes the
encoding of the [M4:M0] bits of the PSR.

@chapter GDB and Openocd
@cindex GDB and Openocd
Openocd complies with the remote gdbserver protocol, and as such can be used
to debug remote targets.
@section Connecting to gdb
@cindex Connecting to gdb
A connection is typically started as follows:
@smallexample
target remote localhost:3333
@end smallexample
This would cause gdb to connect to the gdbserver on the local pc using port 3333.
To see a list of available openocd commands type @option{monitor help} on the
gdb commandline.
Openocd supports the gdb @option{qSupported} packet, this enables information
to be sent by the gdb server (openocd) to gdb. Typical information includes
packet size and device memory map.
Previous versions of openocd required the following gdb options to increase
the packet size and speed up gdb communication.
@smallexample
set remote memory-write-packet-size 1024
set remote memory-write-packet-size fixed
set remote memory-read-packet-size 1024
set remote memory-read-packet-size fixed
@end smallexample
This is now handled in the @option{qSupported} PacketSize.
@section Programming using gdb
@cindex Programming using gdb
By default the target memory map is not sent to gdb, this can be enabled by
the following openocd config option:
@smallexample
gdb_memory_map enable
@end smallexample
For this to function correctly a valid flash config must also be configured
in openocd. For speed also configure a valid working area.
Informing gdb of the memory map of the target will enable gdb to protect any
flash area of the target and use hardware breakpoints by default. This means
that the openocd option @option{arm7_9 force_hw_bkpts} is not required when
using a memory map.
To view the configured memory map in gdb, use the gdb command @option{info mem}
All other unasigned addresses within gdb are treated as ram.
If @option{gdb_flash_program enable} is also used, gdb will be able to
program any flash memory using the vFlash interface.
gdb will look at the target memory map when a load command is given, if any
areas to be programmed lie within the target flash area the vFlash packets
will be used.
Incase the target needs configuring before gdb programming, a script can be executed.
@smallexample
target_script 0 gdb_program_config config.script
@end smallexample
To verify any flash programming the gdb command @option{compare-sections}
can be used.

@enumerate
@item OpenOCD complains about a missing cygwin1.dll
Make sure you have Cygwin installed, or at least a version of OpenOCD that
claims to come with all the necessary dlls. When using Cygwin, try launching
the OpenOCD from the Cygwin shell.
@item I'm trying to set a breakpoint using GDB (or a frontend like Insight or
Eclipse), but OpenOCD complains that "Info: arm7_9_common.c:213
arm7_9_add_breakpoint(): sw breakpoint requested, but software breakpoints not enabled".
GDB issues software breakpoints when a normal breakpoint is requested, or to implement
source-line single-stepping. On ARMv4T systems, like ARM7TDMI, ARM720t or ARM920t,
software breakpoints consume one of the two available hardware breakpoints,
and are therefor disabled by default. If your code is running from RAM, you
can enable software breakpoints with the @option{arm7_9 sw_bkpts enable} command. If
your code resides in Flash, you can't use software breakpoints, but you can force
OpenOCD to use hardware breakpoints instead: @option{arm7_9 force_hw_bkpts enable}.
@item When erasing or writing LPC2000 on-chip flash, the operation fails sometimes
and works sometimes fine.
Make sure the core frequency specified in the @option{flash lpc2000} line matches the
clock at the time you're programming the flash. If you've specified the crystal's
frequency, make sure the PLL is disabled, if you've specified the full core speed
(e.g. 60MHz), make sure the PLL is enabled.
@item When debugging using an Amontec Chameleon in its JTAG Accelerator configuration,
I keep getting "Error: amt_jtagaccel.c:184 amt_wait_scan_busy(): amt_jtagaccel timed
out while waiting for end of scan, rtck was disabled".
Make sure your PC's parallel port operates in EPP mode. You might have to try several
settings in your PC Bios (ECP, EPP, and different versions of those).
@item When debugging with the OpenOCD and GDB (plain GDB, Insight, or Eclipse),
I get lots of "Error: arm7_9_common.c:1771 arm7_9_read_memory():
memory read caused data abort".
The errors are non-fatal, and are the result of GDB trying to trace stack frames
beyond the last valid frame. It might be possible to prevent this by setting up
a proper "initial" stack frame, if you happen to know what exactly has to
be done, feel free to add this here.
@item I get the following message in the OpenOCD console (or log file):
"Warning: arm7_9_common.c:679 arm7_9_assert_reset(): srst resets test logic, too".
This warning doesn't indicate any serious problem, as long as you don't want to
debug your core right out of reset. Your .cfg file specified @option{jtag_reset
trst_and_srst srst_pulls_trst} to tell the OpenOCD that either your board,
your debugger or your target uC (e.g. LPC2000) can't assert the two reset signals
independently. With this setup, it's not possible to halt the core right out of
reset, everything else should work fine.
@item When using OpenOCD in conjunction with Amontec JTAGkey and the Yagarto
Toolchain (Eclipse, arm-elf-gcc, arm-elf-gdb), the debugging seems to be
unstable. When single-stepping over large blocks of code, GDB and OpenOCD
quit with an error message. Is there a stability issue with OpenOCD?
No, this is not a stability issue concering OpenOCD. Most users have solved
this issue by simply using a self-powered USB Hub, which they connect their
Amontec JTAGkey to. Apparently, some computers do not provide a USB power
supply stable enough for the Amontec JTAGkey to be operated.
@item When using the Amontec JTAGkey, sometimes OpenOCD crashes with the
following error messages: "Error: ft2232.c:201 ft2232_read(): FT_Read returned:
4" and "Error: ft2232.c:365 ft2232_send_and_recv(): couldn't read from FT2232".
What does that mean and what might be the reason for this?
First of all, the reason might be the USB power supply. Try using a self-powered
hub instead of a direct connection to your computer. Secondly, the error code 4
corresponds to an FT_IO_ERROR, which means that the driver for the FTDI USB
Chip ran into some sort of error - this points us to a USB problem.
@item When using the Amontec JTAGkey, sometimes OpenOCD crashes with the following
error message: "Error: gdb_server.c:101 gdb_get_char(): read: 10054".
What does that mean and what might be the reason for this?
Error code 10054 corresponds to WSAECONNRESET, which means that the debugger (GDB)
has closed the connection to OpenOCD. This might be a GDB issue.
@item In the configuration file in the section where flash device configurations
are described, there is a parameter for specifying the clock frequency for
LPC2000 internal flash devices (e.g.
@option{flash bank lpc2000 0x0 0x40000 0 0 lpc2000_v1 0 14746 calc_checksum}),
which must be sepcified in kilohertz. However, I do have a quartz crystal of a
frequency that contains fractions of kilohertz (e.g. 14,745,600 Hz, i.e. 14,745.600 kHz).
Is it possible to specify real numbers for the clock frequency?
No. The clock frequency specified here must be given as an integral number.
However, this clock frequency is used by the In-Application-Programming (IAP)
routines of the LPC2000 family only, which seems to be very tolerant concerning
the given clock frequency, so a slight difference between the specified clock
frequency and the actual clock frequency will not cause any trouble.
@item Do I have to keep a specific order for the commands in the configuration file?
Well, yes and no. Commands can be given in arbitrary order, yet the devices
listed for the JTAG scan chain must be given in the right order (jtag_device),
with the device closest to the TDO-Pin being listed first. In general,
whenever objects of the same type exist which require an index number, then
these objects must be given in the right order (jtag_devices, targets and flash
banks - a target references a jtag_device and a flash bank references a target).
@item Sometimes my debugging session terminates with an error. When I look into the
log file, I can see these error messages: Error: arm7_9_common.c:561
arm7_9_execute_sys_speed(): timeout waiting for SYSCOMP
