-Plan for hosted scripting support in OpenOCD
-============================================
-Jim Tcl support in OpenOCD currently exists as a patch.
-
-There has been some discussion on the list as to what
-purpose scripting support might serve in OpenOCD.
-
-Also Lua was proposed as a scripting language, but
-only Jim Tcl has been forwarded as a patch.
-
-Tcl is also backwards syntax compatible with OpenOCD
-commands.
-
-What scripting will not do
-==========================
-It is not the intention that normal OpenOCD users will
-use tcl scripting extensively, write lots of clever scripts,
-or contribute back to OpenOCD.
-
-The scripting support is intended for developers of OpenOCD.
-
-Target scripts can contain new procedures that end users may
-tinker to their needs without really understanding tcl.
-
-Since end users are not expected to mess with the scripting
-language, the choice of language is not terribly important
-to those same end users.
-
-Uses of scripting
-=================
-Default implementation of procedures in tcl/procedures.tcl.
-
-- Polymorphic commands for target scripts.
- - there will be added some commands in Tcl that the target
- scripts can replace.
- - produce <productionfile> <serialnumber>. Default implementation
- is to ignore serial number and write a raw binary file
- to beginning of first flash. Target script can dictate
- file format and structure of serialnumber. Tcl allows
- an argument to consit of e.g. a list so the structure of
- the serial number is not limited to a single string.
- - reset handling. Precise control of how srst, trst &
- tms is handled.
-- replace some parts of the current command line handler.
- This is only to simplify the implementation of OpenOCD
- and will have no externally visible consequences.
- Tcl has an advantage in that it's syntax is backwards
- compatible with the current OpenOCD syntax.
