Then you need to add new Target, name it PowerPC, you can start from ARM or MIPS as reference. Target is responsible for reading/writing target memory bus, access port, etc. On top of your Target functions you can build perihperals access, memory access, etc. If you want to use FT2232 device, use new MPSSE interface driver in OpenOCD, it already gives you the JTAG access. Right now its a bit mixed, but looking on how ARM or MIPS is implemented will be a good starting point. If you have lots of spare boards I can take a look at one of them and the documentation just for curiosity :-) However if you want to have this implemented with a priority please consider hiring someone developer from the group willing to do the job or assist you :-) Best regards :-) Tomek -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
