Originally, JTAG hung when trying to connect with openocd. We added the following edits in the Shuttle core to fix this and tested it in sim and on FPGA:

  • Additional logic to flush the pipeline and handle jalr instructions in debug mode
  • Single-step logic
    Additional credit to Christian (@chrisrq) and Alonzo (@Uhhlonzo) for debugging this with me.
