I can let you know when I get my hands on some hardware to use for testing, or others can take a stab at it with their own boards (see below). That will probably take some experience with OpenOCD to be successful.
I've done a certain amount of OpenOCD poking to get it working for CPLD programming last year, so have a reasonable idea how to drive and configure it. But I only have a beagleboardMX to experiment on which I imagine is one of the few things we're interested in that's already done.
I have plenty to do anyway right now, but could be persuaded to do some OpenOCD testing at some point (unless someone else is particularly keen :-).
- Is there an OpenOCD starter doc we can give people that want to try OpenOCD out on their platforms (and report bugs to help provide items for your work queue)?
OpenOCD includes documentation written in TexInfo, so HTML and PDF versions of the current OpenOCD User Manual can be generated by running 'make docs' in the source tree. If that document has any shortcomings, they deserve to be brought up on the OpenOCD mailing list.
I found they were pretty good, especially after Mr Brownell tidied up a lot of stuff. It does take a little while to get your head round how it all fits together and whatever you do JTAG is always cranky in my experience with tedious wrinkles about different dongles, interface boards and strange effects of other devices if, for example, the JTAG pins on the CPLD get re-used.
