I'm not quite up to speed on the SWD stuff yet, but I want to follow this closely enough that I can implement hardware acceleration of the SWD protocol on the ZY1000(an embedded OpenOCD host).
What embedded hosts offers is very low processing power(on par with an arm7/9 or so), but also very low latency. I'm thinking the very low latency could easily be a huge advantage with the SWD protocol and I'm curious how the upcoming SWD OpenOCD stack will ensure acceptable performance with long latency devices. So far we've seen huge disruptive patches that didn't fit naturally with OpenOCD and for something like SWD, I think we want more speed than haste when committing it. -- Øyvind Harboe US toll free 1-866-980-3434 / International +47 51 63 25 00 http://www.zylin.com/zy1000.html ARM7 ARM9 ARM11 XScale Cortex JTAG debugger and flash programmer _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
