✅ **XDS110 + F280039C connection**: USB detection, hardware validation - ✅ **Direct memory access**: Breakthrough access to debug_bypass structure (0x0000d3c0) - ✅ **PMSM motor control**: Working with DRV8323RH driver - ✅ **Variable reading**: 50+ motor control variables accessible - ✅ **Calibration sequences**: Commands 64-67 automation - ✅ **Memory writes**: Proven little-endian 16-bit parameter encoding ### **MCP Server Architecture (New)** - ✅ **Multi-client design**: OpenOCD proxy with multiple GDB connections - ✅ **Domain knowledge integration**: Motor control, FOC, TI peripheral expertise - ✅ **Tool framework**: Read, monitor, write, analyze capabilities for LLMs - ✅ **Configuration management**: JSON-based, modular configuration system - ✅ **Error handling**: Comprehensive logging and recovery mechanisms ### **Research-Backed Technical Approach** - ✅ **OpenOCD multi-client support**: [Verified working](https://openocd.org/doc/html/GDB-and-OpenOCD.html) - ✅ **XDS110 native OpenOCD driver**: [Source code confirmed](https://github.com/openocd-org/openocd/blob/master/src/jtag/drivers/xds110.c) - ✅ **TI community validation**: [Forum examples](https://e2e.ti.com/support/tools/code-composer-studio-group/ccs/f/code-composer-studio-forum/630450/tms570ls3137-using-xds110-with-gdb-openocd) --- ## 📋 **Next Development Phase** ### **Immediate Priority: Phase 1 Implementation (4 weeks)** **Still Needed:** - [ ] **GDB Interface**: `gdb_client.py` and `openocd_manager.py` implementations - [ ] **MCP Tools**: `variable_monitor.py`, `memory_tools.py`, `analysis_tools.py` - [ ] **Domain Knowledge**: `motor_control.py` knowledge database -
