I like this idea as well. Not so much for my own use, but still. I think it can be done pretty easily too. LPT is out of fashion, so just mapping USB ids in cfg files against what libusb happens to find in the system will even allow autodetecting many/most interfaces. The first step is probably to make the "connect" operating explicit rather than implicit in OpenOCD, so that it can be controlled remotely from the GUI. Of course, this now ventures into an area where there is significant overlap between OpenOCD, UrJTAG and Altera's jtagserver and STAPL player. It would be awesome to unify those things, since they do the same thing in some ways, but that's a completely different project.

Ideally everyone is a little bit active, but it's always difficult to find the right balance between what you need yourself and what extra you can contribute because you know that it would help others. > The sad reality is that in general the progress is not that fast > for small projects like some projects I spent real efforts on Reality yes, sad I don't know. It is what it is. If the community is very active then the project makes quick progress. If the community is not so active then progress take longer. It's true in general that open source projects could use more developer resources. //Peter _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
