Changes​

  • rework the semihosting support
  • remove dependency from ARM specific structures and make semihosting code standalone
  • add 64-bit support

To activate semihosting, use:

arm semihosting enable

The Eclipse OpenOCD debug plug-in has a check button in the Startup tab.

To pass command line options to the target application:

Semihosting

Differences from RISC-V releases​

  • some of the remote_bitbang.c patches were reversed
  • some of the additional GDB error processing were reversed, since they affect not RISC-V targets.

Known problems​

  • none
