[OpenOCD-devel] What is all this --expected-id stuff about?

[Uwe B. <bo...@el...>]

Hello,

what is the reason to have all this --expected-id stuff in the configuration
files. If we have a problem in these number, like at the moment in
stm32f7x.cfg, it is hard to see the problem for devellopers with SWD-only
debuggers or debugger targets.

>From src/jtag/core.c, I see that if no --expected-id is provided,
jtag_examine_chain_match_tap() also returns success.

For a production environment, I see a purpose for --expected-id, but for the
distributed configuration this option is hard and tedious to maintain.

So I propose to remove all --expected-id from our distributed
configurations.

A similar discussion started around http://openocd.zylin.com/#/c/3377/ but
to no definite outcome.

Bye
