+This file includes highlights of the changes made in the OpenOCD
+source archive release.
JTAG Layer:
- Support KT-Link JTAG adapter.
+ * add default to adapter speed when unspecified (100 kHz)

Boundary Scan:
+
Target Layer:
- General
- - new "reset-assert" event, for systems without SRST
- ARM
- - renamed "armv4_5" command prefix as "arm"
- - recognize TrustZone "Secure Monitor" mode
- - "arm regs" command output changed
- - register names use "sp" not "r13"
- - add top-level "mcr" and "mrc" commands, replacing
- various core-specific operations
- - basic semihosting support
- ARM11
- - Preliminary ETM and ETB hookup
- - accelerated "flash erase_check"
- - accelerated GDB memory checksum
- - support "arm regs" command
- - can access all core modes and registers
- - watchpoint support
- Cortex-A8
- - support "arm regs" command
- - can access all core modes and registers
- - supports "reset-assert" event (used on OMAP3530)
- - watchpoint support
- Cortex-M3
- - Exposed DWT registers like cycle counter
- ETM, ETB
- - "trigger_percent" command moved ETM --> ETB
- - "etm trigger_debug" command added
- Freescale DSP563xx cores (partial support)
+ * aarch64: support watchpoints
+ * arm: support independent TPIU and SWO for trace
+ * arm adi v5: support Large Physical Address Extension
+ * arm adi v6: support added, for jtag and swd transport
+ * cortex_a: support watchpoints
+ * elf 64bit load support
+ * Espressif: support ESP32, ESP32-S2 and ESP32-S3 cores
+ * semihosting: support user defined operations
+ * Xtensa: support Xtensa LX architecture via JTAG and ADIv5 DAP
Flash Layer:
- 'flash bank' and 'nand device' take <bank_name> as first argument.
- With this, flash/NAND commands allow referencing banks by name:
- - <bank_name>: reference the bank with its defined name
- - <driver_name>[.N]: reference the driver's Nth bank
- New 'nand verify' command to check bank against an image file.
- The "flash erase_address" command now rejects partial sectors;
- previously it would silently erase extra data.
- New at91sam9 NAND controller driver.
