openOCD including OpenRISC support with Mohor debug interface and Nathan Yawn adv_dbg_if debug interface.

A JTAG driver acting as a client for a VPI JTAG server interface is also included.

If you want to use the VPI JTAG driver, you need to configure OpenOCD like this:

./configure --enable-jtag_vpi --enable-adv_debug_sys --enable-maintainer-mode

Then you can start OpenOCD:

./src/openocd -f jtag_vpi.tcl

The JTAG VPI server (on the simulation side) has to be started before OpenOCD.
