ARMv7-M defines a "lockup" state that's entered in certain double fault sequences which can't be recovered from without external help. OpenOCD has previously ignored this.
Issue a diagnostic saying the chip has locked up, and force exit from this state by halting the core. It's not clear this is the best way to handle lockup; but there should now be less confusion. --- I merged this ... minimally, the diagnostic will help, even if there's some issue with clearing the lockup (awkeward to reproduce for testing). --- a/src/target/cortex_m3.c +++ b/src/target/cortex_m3.c @@ -416,6 +416,21 @@ static int cortex_m3_poll(struct target return retval; } + /* Recover from lockup.
