Move TCL script files -- Step 1 of 2:
- Move src/target/{interface,target,board,test}/ into src/tcl/ - Remove existing rules in src/Makefile.am and src/target/Makefile.am. - Add Makefile.am handling of *.cfg and *.tcl files in top Makefile.am: - Add dist-hook to include such files under src/tcl in the distribution. - Add install-data-hook to install contents of '$(top_srcdir)/src/tcl/'. - Add uninstall-hook to remove the installed script files. - Change paths to (un)install script files in '$(pkgdatadir)/scripts'. git-svn-id: svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk@1918 b42882b7-edfa-0310-969c-e2dbd0fdcd60

+Prerequisites:
+The users of OpenOCD as well as computer programs interacting with OpenOCD are expecting that certain commands
+do the same thing across all the targets.
+
+Rules to follow when writing scripts:
+
+1. The configuration script should be defined such as , for example, the following sequences are working:
+ reset
+ flash info <bank>
+and
+ reset
+ flash erase_address <start> <len>
+and
+ reset init
+ load
+
+In most cases this can be accomplished by specifying the default startup mode as reset_init (target command
+in the configuration file).
+
+2. If the target is correctly configured, flash must be writable without any other helper commands. It is
+assumed that all write-protect mechanisms should be disabled.
+
+3. The configuration scripts should be defined such as the binary that was written to flash verifies
+(turn off remapping, checksums, etc...)
+
+flash write_image [file] <parameters>
+verify_image [file] <parameters>
+
+4. jtag_khz sets the maximum speed (or alternatively RCLK). If invoked
+multiple times only the last setting is used.
+
+interface/xxx.cfg files are always executed *before* target/xxx.cfg
+files, so any jtag_khz in interface/xxx.cfg will be overridden by
+target/xxx.cfg. jtag_khz in interface/xxx.cfg would then, effectively,
+set the default JTAG speed.
+
+Note that a target/xxx.cfg file can invoke another target/yyy.cfg file,
+so one can create target subtype configurations where e.g. only
+amount of DRAM, oscillator speeds differ and having a single
+config file for the default/common settings.
+
