Hi This speculation but worth trying.
For targets where the debug interface is entirely memory mapped into the target, apart from a thin communications layer, we only need low level memory read and memory write. Everything else can be scripted in Tcl. I think this is the situation for Cortex-A8, the debug interface has already been tested in the Coertex-M3 code. The specifics for A8 are all below the MEM-AP interface. Writing a target support like this might be more work than C, when it is doable it might be easier without knowing any specifics about OpenOCD internals, it might be tooooo slooooow, but it is certainly worth testing. One possibility is to test out new features as Tcl scripts and then implement it as C code for performance and prhaps better integration in OpwnOCD. Just some random ramblings, but who will be the first to implement a target supported only in pure Tcl ?
