Plan for hosted scripting support in OpenOCD
============================================
Jim Tcl support in OpenOCD currently exists as a patch.
There has been some discussion on the list as to what
purpose scripting support might serve in OpenOCD.
Also Lua was proposed as a scripting language, but
only Jim Tcl has been forwarded as a patch.
Tcl is also backwards syntax compatible with OpenOCD
commands.
Uses of scripting
=================
Default implementation of procedures in tcl/procedures.tcl.
- Polymorphic commands for target scripts.
- produce <file> <serialnumber>. Default implementation
is to ignore serial number and write a raw binary file
to beginning of first flash.
- reset handling. Precise control of how srst, trst &
tms is handled and when.
