openocd

OpenOCD aims to provide debugging, in-system programming and boundary-scan testing for embedded target devices.

The debugger uses an IEEE 1149-1 compliant JTAG TAP bus master to access on-chip debug functionality available on ARM based microcontrollers or system-on-chip solutions. For MIPS systems the EJTAG interface is supported. Additionally there is support for eSi-RISC, Intel, OpenRISC, RISC-V and ARC controllers.

User interaction is realized through a telnet command line interface, a gdb (the GNU debugger) remote protocol server, and a simplified RPC connection that can be used to interface with OpenOCD’s Jim Tcl engine.

OpenOCD supports many different types of JTAG interfaces/programmers.

NAME
       openocd  - A free and open on-chip debugging, in-system programming and
       boundary-scan testing tool for ARM and MIPS systems

SYNOPSIS
       openocd [-fsdlcphv] [--file <filename>] [--search  <dirname>]  [--debug
       <debuglevel>]  [--log_output  <filename>]  [--command  <cmd>]  [--pipe]
       [--help] [--version]

DESCRIPTION
       OpenOCD is an  on-chip  debugging,  in-system  programming  and  bound-
       ary-scan testing tool for various ARM and MIPS systems.

       The  debugger  uses an IEEE 1149-1 compliant JTAG TAP bus master to ac-
       cess on-chip debug  functionality  available  on  ARM  based  microcon-
       trollers or system-on-chip solutions. For MIPS systems the EJTAG inter-
       face is supported.

       User interaction is realized through a telnet command line interface, a
       gdb  (the  GNU  debugger)  remote protocol server, and a simplified RPC
       connection that can be used to interface with OpenOCD's Jim Tcl engine.

       OpenOCD supports various different types  of  JTAG  interfaces/program-
       mers, please check the openocd info page for the complete list.

OPTIONS
       -f, --file <filename>
              This is a shortcut for a -c "[script <filename>]" command, using
              a search path to load the configuration file <filename>.  In or-
              der  to  specify  multiple  config  files,  you can use multiple
              --file arguments. If no such -c options are included, the  first
              config file openocd.cfg in the search path will be used.

       -s, --search <dirname>
              Add  <dirname>  to  the  search  path  used for config files and
              scripts.  The search path begins  with  the  current  directory,
              then  includes  these additional directories before other compo-
              nents such as the standard OpenOCD script libraries.

       -d, --debug <debuglevel>
              Set debug level. Possible values are:
                * 0 (errors)
                * 1 (warnings)
                * 2 (informational messages)
                * 3 (debug messages)
              The default level is 2.

       -l, --log_output <filename>
              Redirect log output to the file <filename>.  Per default the log
              output is printed on stderr.

       -c, --command <cmd>
              Add  the  command <cmd> to a list of commands executed on server
              startup.  Note that you will need to explicitly invoke  init  if
              the command requires access to a target or flash.

       -p, --pipe
              Use pipes when talking to gdb.

       -h, --help
              Show a help text and exit.

       -v, --version
              Show version information and exit.
