How to use pyOCD for new target MCU like W7500

What about pyOCD

pyOCD is an Open Source python 2.7 based library for programming and debugging ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers using CMSIS-DAP. Linux, OSX and Windows are supported.

You can use the following interfaces:

1. From a python interpretor:

   • halt, step, resume execution
   • read/write memory
   • read/write block memory
   • read-write core register
   • set/remove hardware breakpoints
   • flash new binary
   • reset

2. From a GDB client, you have all the features provided by gdb:

   • load a .elf file
   • read/write memory
   • read/write core register
   • set/remove hardware breakpoints
   • high level stepping
   • …

Fork mbedmicro/pyOCD repository and Installation

There are repository for pyOCD by mbedmicro.

• mbedmicro/pyOCD

After then I issued this command for pyOCD installation.
You can install from source by cloning the git repository and running

$ python setup.py install

For more information about pyOCD installation, Refer to this URL.

Added information and flash algorithm for W7500

I added flash algorithm and information for W7500 to python code of pyOCD project.

There are my commit log for adding W7500 target.

• First Git Commit Log

• Second Git Commit Log

Self Test

After to add my target MCU as W7500, I did test using test script made by mbedmicro.
If this test finished successfully, I think my target MCU is added normally.

This test script include read/write/erase test and register read/write test.

$ cd pyOCD/test/
$ sudo python automated_test.py
