10:57 <Guest81> do we have support for imx rt500 series for openocd

11:04 <PaulFertser> What is the CPU core there?

11:08 <karlp> hrm, doe we have any imxrt support?

11:09 <PaulFertser> If it's cortex-m why wouldn't it work?

11:10 <karlp> I'm only talking about falsh support,

11:10 <PaulFertser> Flash support is a different story...

11:10 <karlp> yes, but, as you _know_ if someone says "is blah supported" they realllllly mean "can I both debug and flash it"

11:11 <karlp> I _know_ those are separate, but that's not normally of interest to people outside openocd

11:11 <karlp> also, we don't have clear simply "just give me cortex debug" with out of the box files, you ahve to make your own config file for it anyway.

11:24 <PaulFertser> Cortex debug is becoming more and more complex unfortunately

11:40 <Guest81> for imxrt595 cortex m33 is used

11:47 <PaulFertser> Guest81: and are you talking about debug or changing flash contents too?

11:49 <Guest81> my query is regarding flashing the application through openocd (command line)

11:49 <Guest81> to rt595 board

11:55 <PaulFertser> I see you created a ticket on SF.net

11:55 <PaulFertser> Normally the ticketing system is meant to report issues, not to request support.

11:59 <PaulFertser> Guest81: does it not have a ROM bootloader you could use for flashing?

12:02 <Guest81> for flashing the command in openocd, we use this command openocd -f interface/[your_interface_config].cfg -f target/[your_target_config].cfg -c "program [your_binary].bin reset exit"    so for rt595 which target file and interface file can I use?

12:03 <karlp> Guest81: where are you getting that from? :) it's ... correct, but someone gave it to you?

12:04 <Guest81> I have got it from google

12:05 <karlp> looks like sysprogs fork has added imxrt, but they never bothered to give it back...

12:06 <karlp> lol, they went to "plugins" https://github.com/sysprogs/openocd/blob/master/tcl/target/imxrt.cfg

12:07 <karlp> would never work for upstream.

12:07 <karlp> you could use your fork, but talk to them for support then.

12:08 <Guest81> in interface folder imx-native.cfg file is present have, mentioned that in  interface folder and from target folder imrt.cfg file

12:08 <Guest81> but was facing issue as

12:08 <Guest81>  Error: 15 109 adapter.c:456 handle_adapter_driver_command(): The specified debug interface was not found (imx_gpio)

12:08 <Guest81> Debug: 16 118 command.c:541 run_command(): Command 'adapter driver' failed with error code -101

12:08 <Guest81> User : 17 124 command.c:613 command_run_line(): The following debug adapters are available:

12:08 <Guest81> 1: parport

12:08 <Guest81> 2: dummy

12:08 <Guest81> 5: esp_usb_jtag

12:08 <Guest81> 6: jtag_vpi

12:08 <Guest81> 8: amt_jtagaccel

12:08 <Guest81> 9: gw16012

12:08 <Guest81> 10: presto

12:08 <Guest81> 11: usbprog

12:08 <Guest81> 12: openjtag

12:08 <Guest81> 13: jlink

12:08 <karlp> no, stop.

12:09 <karlp> there's no flash support for imxrt anything in current usptream master openocd.

12:09 <karlp> please don't paste big walls of command output to chat,

12:09 <karlp> if you must, use a paste service of some description

12:09 <Guest81> okay

12:09 <karlp> the _interfaace_ is exactly that, jlink, ftdi, cmsis-dap, whatever.

12:10 <Guest81> so we dont have support for imxrt right?

12:10 <karlp> imxnative is for using an IMX's native gpios as a jtag/swd interface.

12:10 <karlp> there's no support for flashing them.

12:10 <karlp> debug will work fine.

12:10 <karlp> in current upstream openocd.

12:12 <Guest81> for debug can we use cmsis-dap interface and target file as imxrt, will it works?

12:14 <karlp> you have to make your own "target" file for it yes. somethign like this: https://github.com/karlp/openocd-hacks/commit/db8923f625c7b69e591c8e20808ba8214f60daef

12:15 <karlp> thats another target that we dont' have flash support for, but it can be debugged.

12:15 <karlp> you probably want a different CPUTAPID, but it will probably actually _work_ without it.

12:18 <Guest81> are you telling that imxrt doesnt have flash support, it has only debug support?

14:10 <karlp> I'm doing some heavy "read_memory" calls via the rpc interface, doing my own ~rtt sort of thing, and it's absolutely spammmmming the console, both inside gdb, and the openocd console promptcan I make that stop?

22:37 <zapb_> karlp, why not using real rtt?

22:41 <karlp> I use that already, it's great.

22:42 <karlp> you might have missed it earlier, I've got MTB dumped out over the rpc interrface, and feeding it to ortbtop.

22:42 <karlp> it was _much_ easier to hack that up in a python socket server rather than making a beautiful multi client rtt style interface in C inside openocd.

22:42 <karlp> I mean, I still prefer swo when I have a "real" cortex ;)

22:43 <karlp> but I'm quite pleased with how the rtt stuff works in openocd

22:45 <karlp> PaulFertser: you'll be happy to hear that work now has an enterprise github account, it's moving forwards....

22:48 <PaulFertser> karlp: indeed good to hear! :)

23:03 <karlp> we're still in a bit of limbo because someone, (I believe a well meaning, but forgetful ex employee) is holding a github account name that they're trying to reassign to us.

23:04 <karlp> there are circles going on there, and it's out of my hands, but that's where current effort is going. my plan then is to just start pushing forks there.

23:04 <karlp> and try and extract patches and push up as I can.

23:08 <PaulFertser> So glad to hear your new job understands the importance of contributing and that apparently it's all fun enough to you.

23:10 <karlp> it's not, management is completely incompetent :)

23:10 <karlp> but I didn't have a lot of options and it's sufficient for now :)
