New OpenOCD 0.8 packages and Tiva Launchpad
Posted at 2014-10-31.
Today, I noticed Debian has new openocd packages available. The OpenOCD site mentions this. It seems we've gone to 0.8. The release post mentions "New TI Launchpads board configs".
$ find /usr/share/openocd/scripts/ | grep -i 123

$ openocd -f board/ek-tm4c123gxl.cfg

It seems there's some differences in the operation: Load sometimes fails and the target starts running instead. Reset halt may also not work. On the other hand (re)loading works on a running target. ('Default GDB flashing events handlers to initialise and reset the target automatically when “load” is used'?) Most debugging commands I tried also seem to work just as before.
