  • This file includes highlights of the changes made in the
    OpenOCD 0.5.0 source archive release.  See the repository
    history for details about what changed, including bugfixes
    and other issues not mentioned here.
    
    JTAG Layer:
    	New driver for "Bus Pirate"
    	Rename various commands so they're not JTAG-specific
    	   There are migration procedures for most of these, but you should
    	   convert your scripts to the new names, since those procedures
    	   will not be around forever.
    		jtag jinterface ... is now adapter_name
    	   	jtag_khz	... is now adapter_khz
    		jtag_nsrst_delay ... is now adapter_nsrst_delay
    		jtag_nsrst_assert_width ... is now adapter_nsrst_assert_width
    	Support Voipac VPACLink JTAG Adapter.
    
    Boundary Scan:
    
    Transport framework core ... supporting future work for SWD, SPI, and other
    non-JTAG ways to debug targets or program flash.
    
    Target Layer:
    	ARM:
    		- basic semihosting support for ARMv7M.
    		- renamed "armv7m" command prefix as "arm"
    	MIPS:
    		- "ejtag_srst" variant removed. The same functionality is
    		  obtained by using "reset_config none".
    		- added PIC32MX software reset support, this means srst is not
    		  required to be connected anymore.
    	OTHER:
    		- preliminary AVR32 AP7000 support.
    
    Flash Layer:
    	New "stellaris recover" command, implements the procedure
    		to recover locked devices (restoring non-volatile
    		state to the factory defaults, including erasing
    		the flash and its protection bits, and possibly
    		re-enabling hardware debugging).
    	PIC32MX now uses algorithm for flash programming, this
    		has increased the performance by approx 96%.
    	New 'pic32mx unlock' cmd to remove readout protection.
    	New STM32 Value Line Support.
    	New 'virtual' flash driver, used to associate other addresses
    		with a flash bank. See pic32mx.cfg for usage.
    	New iMX27 NAND flash controller driver.
    
    Board, Target, and Interface Configuration Scripts:
    	Support IAR LPC1768 kickstart board (by Olimex)
    	Support Voipac PXA270/PXA270M module.
    	New $PARPORTADDR tcl variable used to change default
    		parallel port address used.
    	Remove lm3s811.cfg; use "stellaris.cfg" instead
    
    Core Jim/TCL Scripting:
    	New "add_script_search_dir" command, behaviour is the same
    		as the "-s" cmd line option.
