David Brownell <david-b@pacbell.net>:
Doc (mostly) update for jtag_khz: - switch to @deffn syntax - add entry for "jtag_rclk" - move deprecated "jtag_speed" into collection of deprecated calls And for ft2232, don't be the only adapter to *log* an error if RTCK is requested; it's already reported properly, like any other nonfatal command parameter. "jtag_rclk" just works as expected, without any scarey messages. git-svn-id: svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk@1910 b42882b7-edfa-0310-969c-e2dbd0fdcd60

+@anchor{JTAG Speed}
+JTAG clock setup is part of system setup.
+It @emph{does not belong with interface setup} since any interface
+only knows a few of the constraints for the JTAG clock speed.
+Sometimes the JTAG speed is
+changed during the target initialization process: (1) slow at
+reset, (2) program the CPU clocks, (3) run fast.
+Both the "slow" and "fast" clock rates are functions of the
+oscillators used, the chip, the board design, and sometimes
+power management software that may be active.
+
+The speed used during reset can be adjusted using pre_reset
+and post_reset event handlers.
+@xref{Target Events}.
+
+If your system supports adaptive clocking (RTCK), configuring
+JTAG to use that is probably the most robust approach.
+However, it introduces delays to synchronize clocks; so it
+may not be the fastest solution.
+
+@b{NOTE:} Script writers should consider using @command{jtag_rclk}
+instead of @command{jtag_khz}.
+
+@deffn {Command} jtag_khz max_speed_kHz
+A non-zero speed is in KHZ. Hence: 3000 is 3mhz.
+JTAG interfaces usually support a limited number of
+speeds. The speed actually used won't be faster
+than the speed specified.
+
+As a rule of thumb, if you specify a clock rate make
+sure the JTAG clock is no more than @math{1/6th CPU-Clock}.
+This is especially true for synthesized cores (ARMxxx-S).
+
+Speed 0 (khz) selects RTCK method.
+@xref{FAQ RTCK}.
+If your system uses RTCK, you won't need to change the
+JTAG clocking after setup.
+Not all interfaces, boards, or targets support ``rtck''.
+If the interface device can not
+support it, an error is returned when you try to use RTCK.
