Yes it could. But giving this out_mask info to the low layer JTAG API can really help to accelerate the JTAG interface itself and accelerating the OpenOCD by the way.
Same for in_check_mask and other _mask parameters. The best you can do is to write new smaller functions calling the actual JTAG API . But do not modify the actual JTAG layer, just for fun or just to be cleaner! If you go in this way, you will finish to have a JTAG API layer wiggling the TMS / TCK / TDI -> old age ! --------------------------------------------------------- IT IS A VERY BAD REGRESSION FOR OPENOCD --------------------------------------------------------- Laurent http://www.amontec.com Amontec JTAGkey at http://www.amontec.com/jtagkey.shtml Øyvind Harboe wrote: >> Yes, field.out_mask is not used for ARM Debug, but could >> be very important for pure boundary scan test ! >> > > This can be done from the calling code and it will be much clearer > what's going on. > > > _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
