HI,
Add a test that might help you.I wanted to read APB_AP's registers, such as 
IDCODE, so I added function reads in mem_ap_init().

But I found that my first read was always wrong and only the second start was 
correct.
ALWAYS BIT31=1,BIT30=0.

I wonder if this finding has anything to do with XDM's register reading 
exception?

So far, we have found a total of XDM and APB_AP register reading problems, are 
related to bit31 and bit30. 
While the APB_AP register reads normally the second time(use 
dap_queue_ap_read() and dap_run() )
but the XDM related register no matter how many times I read it, is an 
error.(use xtensa_queue_dbg_reg_read() func)

**[tickets:#445] openocd with xtensa core problem(about debug data reg)**

**Status:** new

HI,
I am debugging xtensa core using openocd tool. The connection relationship of 
my system is as follows:
<< jlink--->coresight dap--->APB_AP(ap_num=0)----->xtensa core0/1/2 >>

The gdb tool I use is xt-gdb, but I find that the values of my pc registers, 
a0-a15,ar0-ar15, etc. are strange during reuse, their highest bit bit31 is 
always 1, bit30 is always 0, but this value is wrong.

I finally found that openocd had a problem when reading and writing the DDR 
(debug data reg) register, in order to better explain the phenomenon.
I've added a test function in openocd source, in the SRC/target/xtensa/xtensa. 
C I added a test function, the code is as follows:

/************************************************************************************/
void ddr_test(struct target target)
{
struct xtensa xtensa = target_to_xtensa(target);
uint8_t a3_buf[4]={0};
LOG_DEBUG("***ddr test******");
xtensa_queue_dbg_reg_write(xtensa, XDMREG_DDR, 0x12345678);
xtensa_queue_dbg_reg_read(xtensa, XDMREG_DDR,a3_buf);
LOG_DEBUG("A3[0]=%X",a3_buf[0]);
LOG_DEBUG("A3[1]=%X",a3_buf[1]);
LOG_DEBUG("A3[2]=%X",a3_buf[2]);
LOG_DEBUG("A3[3]=%X",a3_buf[3]);
xtensa_queue_dbg_reg_write(xtensa, XDMREG_DDR, 0);
xtensa_queue_dbg_reg_read(xtensa, XDMREG_DDR,a3_buf);
LOG_DEBUG("A3[0]=%X",a3_buf[0]);
LOG_DEBUG("A3[1]=%X",a3_buf[1]);
LOG_DEBUG("A3[2]=%X",a3_buf[2]);
LOG_DEBUG("A3[3]=%X",a3_buf[3]);
xtensa_queue_dbg_reg_write(xtensa, XDMREG_DDR, 0x5a5a8080);

xtensa_queue_dbg_reg_read(xtensa, XDMREG_DDR,a3_buf);
LOG_DEBUG("A3[0]=%X",a3_buf[0]);
LOG_DEBUG("A3[1]=%X",a3_buf[1]);
LOG_DEBUG("A3[2]=%X",a3_buf[2]);
LOG_DEBUG("A3[3]=%X",a3_buf[3]);
}
/************************************************************************************/
I put the above test function in a lot of event locations like 
xtensa_halt/xtensa_resume/xtensa_prepare_resume and other places.

Then I found that the DDR test always fails, bit31 is always 1, bit30 is always 
0, such as the above result:
0x12345678----->0x82345678 0x0---->0x8000000 0x5a5a8080--->9a5a8080

I tried to modify the speed of jlink can not improve this, below is my cfg 
file, can you help me find out the reason?

Here is my cfg file:

/************************************xxxx.cfg************************************************/
