I'm new to OpenOCD and had it debugging out of RAM beautifully. I've
been getting sporadic errors verifying binary images I write to flash. This
got me interested in OpenOCD and its code. The rest of this email is a
long list of issues I encountered, some of which are probably due to
my own misunde

First, remember this: OpenOCD uses JIM TCL - which is not "Main Stream
Tcl/Tk".
JimTCL can be embedded in a "rom" target - something main stream Tcl/TK
cannot do.
This 'embedded feature' is some what helpful for some users of OpenO
I noticed you are using the AT91SAM7 -
You might want to check out some of the things I wrote for the SAM7 also.

On secong thought, I would rename it just sam7 or at91sam7 because all of
the following can share the same config file:
at91sam7S
at91sam7SE
at91sam7X
at91sam7XC

Essentially. Though *after* I get it back from Tcl and before I pass it to the
openocd commands, I strip all args after the arg
