Hello Zach,
Welcome on. We discussed OpenOCD at the last TSC meeting we had, and
we have discovered that we don't have a very firm grasp of the gaps in
OpenOCD for v7 hardware at the moment. So let me ask a few basic
questions and see if that can guide us somewhere:
- Of the platforms OMAP3, OMAP4, mx51 and U8500, does any have
OpenOCD support today?
- Are there levels of "support" that OpenOCD can provide for a
platform? I.e. is it all or nothing, or is there basic support and
what's a step up from that?
- How much of OpenOCD is board-specific? In other words, does
specific OpenOCD code (or config) need to be written to support,
say, the Beagle versus the Beagle XM versus the IGEPv2?
- Is there an OpenOCD starter doc we can give people that want to
try OpenOCD out on their platforms (and report bugs to help
provide items for your work queue)?
Thanks,
