The xPack OpenOCD is a standalone cross-platform binary distribution of OpenOCD.

There are separate binaries for Windows (Intel 64-bit), macOS (Intel 64-bit, Apple Silicon 64-bit) and GNU/Linux (Intel 64-bit, Arm 32/64-bit).

{% raw %}{% include note.html content="The main targets for the Arm binaries are the Raspberry Pi class devices (armv7l and aarch64; armv6 is not supported)." %}{% endraw %}

Download

The binary files are available from GitHub [Releases]({% raw %}{{ page.download_url }}{% endraw %}).

Prerequisites

  • GNU/Linux Intel 64-bit: any system with GLIBC 2.27 or higher (like Ubuntu 18 or later, Debian 10 or later, RedHat 8 later, Fedora 29 or later, etc)
  • GNU/Linux Arm 32/64-bit: any system with GLIBC 2.27 or higher (like Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu 18 or later, Debian 10 or later, RedHat 8 later, Fedora 29 or later, etc)
  • Intel Windows 64-bit: Windows 7 with the Universal C Runtime (UCRT), Windows 8, Windows 10
  • Intel macOS 64-bit: 10.13 or later
  • Apple Silicon macOS 64-bit: 11.6 or later

Install

The full details of installing the xPack OpenOCD on various platforms are presented in the separate [Install]({% raw %}{{ site.baseurl }}{% endraw %}/dev-tools/openocd/install/) page.

Easy install

The easiest way to install OpenOCD is with [xpm]({% raw %}{{ site.baseurl }}{% endraw %}/xpm/) by using the binary xPack, available as @xpack-dev-tools/openocd from the npmjs.com registry.

With the xpm tool available, installing the latest version of the package and adding it as a development dependency for a project is quite easy:

cd my-project
xpm init # Add a package.json if not already present

xpm install @xpack-dev-tools/openocd@latest --verbose

ls -l xpacks/.bin

To install this specific version, use:

xpm install @xpack-dev-tools/openocd@{% raw %}{{ page.version }}.{{ page.npm_subversion }}{% endraw %} --verbose

For xPacks aware tools, like the Eclipse Embedded C/C++ plug-ins, it is also possible to install OpenOCD globally, in the user home folder.

xpm install --global @xpack-dev-tools/openocd@latest --verbose

Eclipse will automatically identify binaries installed with xpm and provide a convenient method to manage paths.

Uninstall

To remove the links created by xpm in the current project:

cd my-project

xpm uninstall @xpack-dev-tools/openocd

To completely remove the package from the central xPack store:

xpm uninstall --global @xpack-dev-tools/openocd

Compliance

The xPack OpenOCD generally follows the official OpenOCD releases.

The current version is based on:

  • OpenOCD version {% raw %}{{ page.upstream_version }}{% endraw %}, the development commit [{% raw %}{{ page.upstream_commit }}{% endraw %}](https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/openocd/commit/{% raw %}{{ page.upstream_commit }}{% endraw %}/) from {% raw %}{{ page.upstream_release_date }}{% endraw %}.

Changes

There are no functional changes.

Compared to the upstream, the following changes were applied:

  • the src/openocd.c file was edited to display the branding string
  • the contrib/60-openocd.rules file was simplified to avoid protection related issues.

Bug fixes

Shared libraries

On all platforms the packages are standalone, and expect only the standard runtime to be present on the host.

All dependencies that are build as shared libraries are copied locally in the libexec folder (or in the same folder as the executable for Windows).

DT_RPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH

On GNU/Linux the binaries are adjusted to use a relative path:

$ readelf -d library.so | grep runpath
 0x000000000000001d (RPATH)            Library rpath: [$ORIGIN]

In the GNU ld.so search strategy, the DT_RPATH has the highest priority, higher than LD_LIBRARY_PATH, so if this later one is set in the environment, it should not interfere with the xPack binaries.

Please note that previous versions, up to mid-2020, used DT_RUNPATH, which has a priority lower than LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and does not tolerate setting it in the environment.

@rpath and @loader_path

Similarly, on macOS, the binaries are adjusted with install_name_tool to use a relative path.

Documentation

The original documentation is available online:

Build

The binaries for all supported platforms (Windows, macOS and GNU/Linux) were built using the xPack Build Box (XBB), a set of build environments based on slightly older distributions, that should be compatible with most recent systems.

The scripts used to build this distribution are in:

  • distro-info/scripts

For the prerequisites and more details on the build procedure, please see the How to build page.

CI tests

Before publishing, a set of simple tests were performed on an exhaustive set of platforms. The results are available from:

Tests

The binaries were testes on Windows 10 Pro 32/64-bit, Intel Ubuntu 18 LTS 64-bit, Intel Xubuntu 18 LTS 32-bit and macOS 10.15.

Install the package with xpm.

The simple test, consists in starting the binaries only to identify the STM32F4DISCOVERY board.

.../xpack-openocd-{{ XBB_RELEASE_VERSION }}/bin/openocd -f board/stm32f4discovery.cfg

A more complex test consist in programming and debugging a simple blinky application on the STM32F4DISCOVERY board. The binaries were those generated by simple Eclipse projects available in the xPack GNU Arm Embedded GCC project.
