Many -contributors helped make this release a great success, and the community -of developers and maintainers look forward to any response. - -In addition to the list of changes below, countless bug fixing and -cleaning was performed across the tree. Various TCL command parameters -must past stricter value checks, and many more error conditions have -been handled correctly. These efforts helped to make the 0.2.0 release -more stable and robust, though some changes may expose latent bugs in -your existing configuration scripts. - -This release does not maintain backward compatibility in all respects, -so some target or configuration scripts may need to be updated. In some -cases, you may also see warnings; resolve those, because they indicate -commands that will be removed in the future. - -The following areas of OpenOCD functionality changed in this release: - -JTAG Layer: -- Improves modularity: core, TCL, driver commands, and interface have - been separated, encapsulated, and documented for developers. Mostly. -- Improves JTAG TAP transition tables: - * Makes TAP paths variable length, rather than being fixed at 7 steps. - * Fixes problems with some targets that did not like longer paths. -- Improves JTAG driver/minidriver modularity and encapsulation. -- New drivers: - * Adds stub minidriver for developing new embedded JTAG interfaces. -- Improves drivers: - * ft2232+ftd2xx: - + Adds initial high-speed device support: --enable-ftd2xx-highspeed - + Supports more types of FTDI-based devices. - * jlink: - + Works with more versions of the firmware (v3 and newer) - + Supports dynamically detects device capabilities and limits - * vsllink: - + Supports very long scan chains - * amtjtagaccel: - + Fixes broken ID code detection problems. - -Target Layer: -- New devices: AVR, FA526 -- Improved support: ARM ADI, ARM11, MIPS -- Numerous other bug fixes and improvements - -Flash Layer: -- Improved drivers: mflash -- New drivers: AT91SAM3, AVR, Davinci NAND - -Board, Interface, and Target Configuration Scripts: -- Many new and improved targets and boards are now available. -- Better separation of "board" and "target" configuration -- Moved all TCL files to top-level "tcl" directory in the source tree -- Installation moved from '$pkglibdir/' to '$pkgdatadir/scripts/'. -- Site-specific files should be installed under '$pkgdatadir/site/'; - files that exist this tree will be used in preference to default - distribution configurations in '$pkgdatadir/scripts/'. - -Documentation: -- Updated User Guide: http://openocd.berlios.de/doc/html/index.html - * Partially re-written and re-organized. - * Standardized presentation for all commands. - * Covers many drivers and commands that were previously omitted. - * New index for commands and drivers. -- Added Developer Manual: http://openocd.berlios.de/doc/doxygen/index.html - * Now includes architecture, technical primers, style guides, and more. - * Available in-tree and on-line. - -Build and Release: -- Increased configuration and compilation warning coverage. - * Use --disable-werror to work around build errors caused by warnings. -- Use libtool to produce helper libraries as a step toward "libopenocd". -- New processes and scripting to facilitate future source releases. - -For more details about what has changed since 0.1.0, see the ChangeLog -associated with this release. - -For more information about contributing test reports, bug fixes, or new -features and device support, please read the new Developer Manual (or -the BUGS and PATCHES files in the source archive).
