-================================================
-This file describes outstanding issues w.r.t.
-non-ARM32 targets.
-
-Ideas & patches welcome!
-
-
-
-
-Flash drivers
--------------
-The flash drivers contain ARM32 code that is used
-to execute code on the target.
-
-This needs to be handled in some CPU independent
-manner.
-
-The ocl and ecos flash drivers compile the flash
-driver code to run on the target on the developer
-machine.
-
-The ocl and ecos flash drivers should be unified
-and instructions should be written on how to
-compile the target flash drivers. Perhaps
-using automake?
-
-
-
-eCos has CFI driver that could probably be compiled
-for all targets. The trick is to figure out a
-way to make the compiled flash drivers work
-on all target memory maps + sort out all the
-little details
-
-32 vs. 64 bit
--------------
-Currently OpenOCD only supports 32 bit targets.
-
-Adding 64 bit support would be nice but there
-hasn't been any call for it in the openocd development
-mailing list
-
-target support
---------------
-target.h is relatively CPU agnostic and
-the intention is to move in the direction of less
-instruction set specific.
-
-Non-CPU targets are also supported, but there isn't
-a lot of activity on it in the mailing list currently.
-An example is FPGA programming support via JTAG,
-but also flash chips can be programmed directly
-using JTAG.
-
-non-JTAG physical layer
------------------------
-JTAG is not the only physical protocol used to talk to
-CPUs.
-
-OpenOCD does not today have targets that use non-JTAG.
-
-The actual physical layer is a relatively modest part
-of the total OpenOCD system.
-
-
-PowerPC
--------
-there exists open source implementations of powerpc
-target manipulation, but there hasn't been a lot
-of activity in the mailing list.
-
-MIPS
-----
-Currently OpenOCD has a MIPS target defined. This is the
