I'm thinking that the ocd_ prefix should go. It's just confusing. There is an arp_ prefix for the tcl code that implements reset, but I guess that could stay even if we remove the ocd_ prefix > Perhaps - we should *REMOVE* this feature and *STOP* supporting this > silent command transforming step. With a little bit of care we can probably do this and fix a few bugs & usability problems along the way. I don't think it is necessary or worthwhile to break the syntax though. Possibly we should consider removing the "arm7_9" command prefix, but the "flash" prefix should probably stay. -- Øyvind Harboe Embedded software and hardware consulting services http://consulting.zylin.com _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
