Raspberry Pi Debugging with OpenOCD

The scripts for OpenOCD debugging can be found in my ​rpi-utils GitHUB repo for example. They are listed below as well.

I have issues to load application image over JTAG (some data corruption, may it be by overload of bus arbitration). But when application is load over TFTP from U-boot it can be fully debugged.

The JTAG interface has to be enabled first. For U-boot based RTEMS image load it can be achieved by U-boot commands
