README* refactoring 

This is an attempt to bring the README files in line with the current
status of the OpenOCD development.

- remove some obsolete information and duplicated instructions
- reword some statements
- restructure in a way more appealing to a regular user
- add a supported hardware list to allow a potential user to determine
  if his/her usecase is covered by a freetext keyword search through
  the document
- Add OSX notes (courtesy GrizzlyAdams and inca)

Since most ftdi-based adapters are now covered by the ftdi driver, I
think it's ok to remove some of the libftdi/ftd2xx instructions, the
few users who still need them should refer to upstream docs instead.

I'm not sure if README.Windows should come with the DOS line endings,
but i'd expect many windows users to use their silly notepad to view
it, and notepad ignores LF apparently. (Decided to use LF anyway.)

I understand discussing and reviewing such a massive README change is
a somewhat demanding task but I feel it's a necessity to move forward
maintaining proper documentation.

===================
OpenOCD provides on-chip programming and debugging support with a
layered architecture of JTAG interface and TAP support, debug target
support (e.g. ARM, MIPS), and flash chip drivers (e.g. CFI, NAND, etc.).
Several network interfaces are available for interactiving with OpenOCD:
HTTP, telnet, TCL, and GDB. The GDB server enables OpenOCD to function
as a "remote target" for source-level debugging of embedded systems
using the GNU GDB program.
layered architecture of JTAG interface and TAP support including:
- (X)SVF playback to faciliate automated boundary scan and FPGA/CPLD
programming;
- debug target support (e.g. ARM, MIPS): single-stepping,
breakpoints/watchpoints, etc;
- flash chip drivers (e.g. CFI, NAND, internal flash);
- embedded TCL intepreter for easy scripting.

- how to find and build more OpenOCD documentation,
- the build process
- list of the supported hardware,
- the installation and build process,
- packaging tips.

============================
Quickstart for the impatient
============================
If you have a popular board then just start OpenOCD with its config,
e.g.:
openocd -f board/stm32f4discovery.cfg
If you are connecting a particular adapter with some specific target,
you need to source both the jtag interface and the target configs,
e.g.:
openocd -f interface/ftdi/jtagkey2.cfg -f target/ti_calypso.cfg
NB: when using an FTDI-based adapter you should prefer configs in the
ftdi directory; the old configs for the ft2232 are deprecated.
After OpenOCD startup, connect GDB with
(gdb) target extended-remote localhost:3333

Installing OpenOCD
==================
On Linux, you may have permissions problems to address. The best way
to do this is to use the contrib/openocd.udev rules file. It probably
belongs somewhere in /etc/udev/rules.d, but consult your operating
system documentation to be sure. In particular, make sure that it
matches the syntax used by your operating system's version of udev.

OpenOCD Dependencies
--------------------
Presently, GCC is required to build OpenOCD. The developers have begun
to enforce strict code warnings (-Wall, -Werror, -Wextra, and more) and
use C99-specific features: inline functions, named initializers, mixing
declarations with code, and other tricks. While it may be possible to
use other compilers, they must be somewhat modern and could require

it may be possible to use other compilers, they must be somewhat
modern and could require extending support to conditionally remove

Also, you need to install the appropriate driver files, if you want to
build support for a USB or FTDI-based interface:
You'll also need:
- ft2232, jlink, rlink, vsllink, usbprog, arm-jtag-ew:
- libusb: required for portable communication with USB dongles
- ft2232 also requires:
- libftdi: http://www.intra2net.com/opensource/ftdi/ *OR*
- ftd2xx: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm,
or the Amontec version (from http://www.amontec.com), for
easier support of JTAGkey's vendor and product IDs.
- make
- libtool
Many Linux distributions provide these packages through their automated
installation and update mechanisms; however, some Linux versions include
older versions of libftdi. In particular, using Ubuntu 8.04 has been
problematic, but newer versions of Ubuntu do not have this problem.
Additionally, for building from git:
- autoconf >= 2.59
- automake >= 1.9
- texinfo
USB-based adapters depend on libusb-1.0 and some older drivers require
libusb-0.1 or libusb-compat-0.1.
USB-Blaster, ASIX Presto, OpenJTAG and ft2232 interface adapter
drivers need either one of:

- ftd2xx: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm (proprietary,
GPL-incompatible)
Permissions delegation
----------------------
Running OpenOCD with root/administrative permissions is strongly
discouraged for security reasons.
For USB devices on GNU/Linux you should use the contrib/openocd.udev
rules file. It probably belongs somewhere in /etc/udev/rules.d, but
consult your operating system documentation to be sure. Do not forget
to add yourself to the "plugdev" group.
For parallel port adapters on GNU/Linux and FreeBSD please change your
"ppdev" (parport* or ppi*) device node permissions accordingly.
For parport adapters on Windows you need to run install_giveio.bat
(it's also possible to use "ioperm" with Cygwin instead) to give
ordinary users permissions for accessing the "LPT" registers directly.
Compiling OpenOCD
-----------------
To build OpenOCD (on both Linux and Cygwin), use the following sequence
of commands:
To build OpenOCD, use the following sequence of commands:
./configure [with some options listed in the next section]
make
make install
./bootstrap (when building from the git repository)
./configure [options]
make
sudo make install

usually with one or more options provided to it. The first 'make' step
will build OpenOCD and place the final executable in ./src/. The
final (optional) step, ``make install'', places all of the files in the
required location.

Cross-Compiling Options
To see the list of all the supported options, run
./configure --help
Cross-compiling Options
-----------------------
To cross-compile, you must specify both --build and --host options to
the 'configure' script. For example, you can configure OpenOCD to
cross-compile on a x86 Linux host to run on Windows (MinGW32), you could
use the following configuration options:
Cross-compiling is supported the standard autotools way, you just need
to specify the cross-compiling target triplet in the --host option,
e.g. for cross-building for Windows 32-bit with MinGW on Debian:
./configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=i586-mingw32msvc ...
Likewise, the following options allow OpenOCD to be cross-compiled for
an ARM target on the same x86 host:
./configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=arm-elf ...
Both must be specified to work around bugs in autoconf.
Scripts for producing ARM cross-compilers can be found on the web with a
little searching. A script to produce an x86 Linux-hosted MinGW32
cross-compiler can be downloaded from the following URL:
http://www.mingw.org/wiki/LinuxCrossMinGW

FT2232C Based USB Dongles
-------------------------
There are 2 methods of using the FTD2232, either (1) using the
FTDICHIP.COM closed source driver, or (2) the open (and free) driver
libftdi.
Using LIBFTDI
-------------
The libftdi source code can be download from the following website:
http://www.intra2net.com/en/developer/libftdi/download.php
For both Linux and Windows, both libusb and libftdi must be built and
installed. To use the newer FT2232H chips, supporting RTCK and USB high
speed (480 Mbps), use libftdi version 0.17 or newer. Many Linux
distributions provide suitable packages for these libraries.
For Windows, libftdi is supported with versions 0.14 and later.
With these prerequisites met, configure the libftdi solution like this:
./configure --prefix=/path/for/your/install --enable-ft2232_libftdi
Then type ``make'', and perhaps ``make install''.
Using FTDI's FTD2XX
-------------------
The (closed source) FTDICHIP.COM solution is faster on MS-Windows. That
is the motivation for supporting it even though its licensing restricts
it to non-redistributable OpenOCD binaries, and it is not available for
all operating systems used with OpenOCD. You may, however, build such
copies for personal use.

The FTDICHIP drivers come as either a (win32) ZIP file, or a (Linux)
TAR.GZ file. You must unpack them ``some where'' convenient. As of this
writing FTDICHIP does not supply means to install these files "in an
appropriate place."

Remember, this library is binary-only, while OpenOCD is licenced
according to GNU GPLv2 without any exceptions. That means that
_distributing_ copies of OpenOCD built with the FTDI code would violate
the OpenOCD licensing terms.
Linux Notes
***********
The Linux tar.gz archive contains a directory named libftd2xx0.4.16
(or similar). Assuming that you have extracted this archive in the same
directory as the OpenOCD package, you could configure with options like
the following:
./configure \
--enable-ft2232_ftd2xx \
--with-ft2xx-linux-tardir=../libftd2xx0.4.16 \
... other options ...
according to GNU GPLv2 without any exceptions. That means that
_distributing_ copies of OpenOCD built with the FTDI code would
violate the OpenOCD licensing terms.
Note that on Linux there is no good reason to use these FTDI binaries;
they are no faster (on Linux) than libftdi, and cause licensing issues.

Tips For Building From a GIT Repository
---------------------------------------
Building OpenOCD from a repository requires a recent version of the GNU
autotools (autoconf >= 2.60 and automake >= 1.9).
1) Run './bootstrap' to create the 'configure' script and prepare
the build process for your host system.
2) Run './configure' with other options.

Building OpenOCD for OSX

There are a few prerequisites you will need first:
- Xcode 4 (install from the AppStore)
- Command Line Tools (install from Xcode 4 -> Preferences -> Downloads)
- MacPorts (http://www.macports.org/install.php)
or
- Homebrew (http://mxcl.github.io/homebrew/)
libtool, automake, autoconf and libusb can be easily installed via
MacPorts:
sudo port install libtool automake autoconf libusb [libusb-compat]
or with Homebrew:
brew install libtool automake libusb [libusb-compat]
You should also specify LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS to allow configure to use
MacPorts' libraries, so run configure like this:
LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include ./configure [options]
If you're using Homebrew, no custom flags are necessary.
See README for the generic building instructions.
If you use an FTDI-based adapter and have the FTDI kext installed, you
will need to unload it prior to using OpenOCD:

Building OpenOCD for Windows
----------------------------
For building on Windows, you have to use CygWin. Make sure that your
PATH environment variable contains no other locations with Unix utilities
(like UnxUtils). Those tools can't handle the CygWin paths, resulting
in obscure dependency errors. This was an observation gathered from the
logs of one user; please correct us if this is wrong.
The following URL is a good reference if you want to build OpenOCD
under CygWin:
http://forum.sparkfun.com/viewtopic.php?t=11221
Alternatively you can build the Windows binary under Linux using
MinGW cross compiler. The following documents some tips of
using this cross build option.
libusb-win32
------------
You can choose to use the libusb-win32 binary distribution from
its SourceForge page. As of this writing, the latest version
is 0.1.12.2. This is the recommend version to use since it fixed
an issue with USB composite device and this is important for FTDI
based JTAG debuggers.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb-win32/
You need to download the libusb-win32-device-bin-0.1.12.2.tar.gz
package. Extract this file into a temp directory.
Copy the file libusb-win32-device-bin-0.1.12.2\include\usb.h
to your MinGW include directory.
Copy the library libusb-win32-device-bin-0.1.12.2\lib\gcc\libusb.a
to your MinGW library directory.
Take note that different Linux distributions often have different MinGW
installation directory. Some of them also put the library and include
into a separate sys-root directory.
When the libusb-win32 repository is more current than its release code,
you could build that instead.
These are the instruction from the libusb-win32 Makefile:
# If you're cross-compiling and your mingw32 tools are called
# i586-mingw32msvc-gcc and so on, then you can compile libusb-win32
# by running

released source tarball or the git tree.
If you are using the git tree, the following are the instructions from
README.mingw. You will need to have the cmake utility installed.
- Edit Toolchain-mingw32.cmake to point to the correct MinGW
installation.
- Create a build directory like "mkdir build-win32", e.g in ../libftdi/
- cd into that directory and run
"cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../Toolchain-mingw32.cmake .."
- Copy src/ftdi.h to your MinGW include directory.
- Copy build-win32/src/*.a to your MinGW lib directory.
libftd2xx
---------
The Cygwin/Win32 ZIP file contains a directory named ftd2xx.win32.
After being extracted, the directory does not need further preparation.
Instead, its path must be provided to the --with-ftd2xx-win32-zipdir
configure option, as shown in the next section.
OpenOCD
-------
Now you can build OpenOCD under Linux using MinGW. You need to use
--build and --host configure options.
To use libftdi:
./configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=i586-mingw32msvc \
--enable-ft2232_libftdi \
... other options ...
To use ftd2xx:
./configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=i586-mingw32msvc \
--enable-ft2232_ftd2xx \
--with-ftd2xx-win32-zipdir=/path/to/libftd2xx-win32 \
... other options ...
If you are using the GIT repository, see the README file for additional
instructions about configuring and building OpenOCD.

Building OpenOCD for Windows
----------------------------
You can build OpenOCD for Windows natively with either MinGW/MSYS or
Cygwin. Alternatively, one can cross-compile it using MinGW on a *nix
host. See README for the generic instructions.
USB adapters
------------
You usually need to have WinUSB.sys (or libusbK.sys) driver installed
for a USB-based adapter. Some vendor software (e.g. for ST-LINKv2)
does it on its own. For the other cases the easiest way to assign
WinUSB to a device is to use the Zadig installer:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwdi/files/zadig/
For the old drivers that use libusb-0.1 API you might need to link
against libusb-win32 headers and install the corresponding driver with
Zadig.
