This open source project is hosted on GitHub as
xpack-dev-tools/openocd-xpack
and provides the platform specific binaries for the
xPack OpenOCD.
This distribution follows the official OpenOCD.
The binaries can be installed automatically as binary xPacks or manually as portable archives.
In addition to the package meta data, this project also includes the build scripts.
This section is intended as a shortcut for those who plan to use the OpenOCD binaries. For full details please read the xPack OpenOCD pages.
The easiest way to install OpenOCD is using the binary xPack, available as
@xpack-dev-tools/openocd
from the npmjs.com
registry.
The only requirement is a recent
xpm
, which is a portable
Node.js command line application. To install it,
follow the instructions from the
xpm page.
With the xpm
tool available, installing
the latest version of the package is quite easy:
$ xpm install --global @xpack-dev-tools/openocd@latest
This command will always install the latest available version,
into the central xPacks repository, which is a platform dependent folder
(check the output of the xpm
command for the actual folder used on
your platform).
This location is configurable using the environment variable
XPACKS_REPO_FOLDER
; for more details please check the
xpm folders page.
xPacks aware tools, like the GNU MCU Eclipse plug-ins automatically
identify binaries installed with
xpm
and provide a convenient method to manage paths.
To remove the installed xPack, the command is similar:
$ xpm uninstall --global @xpack-dev-tools/openocd
(Note: not yet implemented. As a temporary workaround, simply remove the
xPacks/@xpack-dev-tools/openocd
folder, or one of the the versioned
subfolders.)
For all platforms, the xPack OpenOCD binaries are released as portable archives that can be installed in any location.
The archives can be downloaded from the GitHub Releases page.
For more details please read the Install page.
Most JTAG probes require separate drivers on Windows. For more details please read the Install page.
For the JTAG probes implemented as USB devices (actually most of them), the last installation step on GNU/Linux is to configure the UDEV subsystem.
For more details please read the Install page.
The quick answer is to use the xPack forums; please select the correct forum.
