How do I integrate OpenOCD into my production flashing setup?

Hi all,

I am extremely new to OpenOCD so please be patient with me.

I have set up a OpenOCD Raspberry Pi in bit-banged SWD mode. I am flashing EFM32 chip. I am able to flash the chip using this command:

```
sudo openocd -f interface/raspberrypi2-native.cfg -c "transport select swd; bcm2835gpio_swd_nums 25 24; bcm2835gpio_srst_num 18; set CHIPNAME efm32; source [find target/efm32.cfg]; adapter_nsrst_assert_width 100; adapter_nsrst_delay 100; reset_config srst_nogate;" -c "init; reset halt; sleep 100; flash write_image erase fw.hex; sleep 100; reset run; shutdown"
```

Now I want to move further and integrate OpenOCD into the programming rig - add a button and some indication leds.  Basically all I want is to know if OpenOCD was successfull in flashing the chip. To do all of this I want to integrate OpenOCD into some kind of scripting environment. I was thinking of starting OpenOCD as a server and then communicating with it via TCL from a Python script, however, I am not sure how to implement it properly. 



Here is what I did:



I am starting OpenOCD with this config file:
[code]
proc flashme {} {
   reset init
   reset halt
   wait_halt
   flash write_image erase fw.hex
   reset run
}

source [find interface/raspberrypi2-native.cfg]
transport select swd

bcm2835gpio_swd_nums 25 24
bcm2835gpio_srst_num 18
adapter_khz 1

set CHIPNAME efm32
source [find target/efm32.cfg]

adapter_nsrst_assert_width 100
adapter_nsrst_delay 100
reset_config srst_nogate

init

Then I try telnetting to it and issuing a ‘flashme’ command. The problem is - If I am connected to the target during the OpenOCD startup, I can issue the flashme command from telnet and everything works fine:

Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

flash size = 256kbytes

wrote 262144 bytes from file fw.hex in 8.524932s (30.030 KiB/s)

but If I connect the target after OpenOCD startup, I get these errors:

Connected to localhost.

What am I doing wrong? Can someone provide me some guidance on how can I achieve what I want - get feedback from OpenOCD if the flashing was successful?
