[Buildroot] openocd CMSIS-DAP support

[Buildroot] openocd CMSIS-DAP support

[mattwood2000 at gmail.com]

Hi,

I need CMSIS-DAP support in openOCD on my target build.  I noticed the
comment in openocd.mk explaining that CMSIS-DAP support is disabled for the
host build because HIDAPI is not supported in buildroot.

However, I see cmsis-dap support in the target options of openocd as well
as HIDAPI support for target buids.

I was able to add cmsis-dap support for the target easily with the patch
below.

Is there a reason why the CMSIS-DAP Adapter option in Config.in was removed
or never added for the target build?  If not I'll submit this but wanted to
make sure I wasn't missing something.

Thanks, Matt.

This patch looks correct to me.

Confusingly, commit aa441aa84c38 notes that CMSIS_DAP requires hidapi
which was not packaged in Buildroot at the time (Dec 2014). Still that
commit added a dangling --enable-cmsis-dap that could never be enabled
because BR2_PACKAGE_OPENOCD_CMSIS_DAP is not defined. Your patch fixes
that.

One more comment below.

You forgot the BR2_PACKAGE_HIDAPI dependencies:

	depends on BR2_PACKAGE_HAS_UDEV
	depends on BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_NPTL

Actually the NPTL dependency is stronger than plain threads
dependency. So you can drop the latter.

Applied to master after adding the missing "depends on" as pointed by
Arnout, and after reworking the commit log. Thanks!
