.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.B OpenOCD
is an on\-chip debugging, in\-system programming and boundary\-scan
-testing tool for ARM systems.
-.PP
+testing tool for various ARM and MIPS systems.
+.PP
The debugger uses an IEEE 1149\-1 compliant JTAG TAP bus master to access
-on\-chip debug functionality available on ARM7/9, XScale, Cortex-M3, and
-Marvell Feroceon (as found in the Orion SoC family) based
-microcontrollers / system\-on\-chip solutions.
-.PP
-User interaction is realized through a telnet command line interface and
-a gdb (the GNU debugger) remote protocol server.
-.PP
+on\-chip debug functionality available on ARM based microcontrollers or
+system-on-chip solutions. For MIPS systems the EJTAG interface is supported.
+.PP
+User interaction is realized through a telnet command line interface,
+a gdb (the GNU debugger) remote protocol server, and a simplified RPC
+connection that can be used to interface with OpenOCD's Jim Tcl engine.
+.PP
OpenOCD supports various different types of JTAG interfaces/programmers,

.SH "OPTIONS"
-.TP
+.TP
.B "\-f, \-\-file <filename>"
-Use configuration file
-.BR <filename> .
-If this option is omitted, the config file
+This is a shortcut for a \fB\-c "[script \fI<filename>\fB]"\fR
+command, using a search path to load the configuration file
+.IR <filename> .
+In order to specify multiple config files, you can use multiple
+.B \-\-file
+arguments. If no such \fB\-c\fR
+options are included, the first config file
.B openocd.cfg
-in the current working directory will be used.
-.TP
+in the search path will be used.
+.TP
.B "\-s, \-\-search <dirname>"
-Search for config files and scripts in the directory
-.BR <dirname> .
-If this option is omitted, openocd searches for config files and scripts
-in the current directory.
-.TP
+Add
+.I <dirname>
+to the search path used for config files and scripts.
+The search path begins with the current directory,
+then includes these additional directories before other
+components such as the standard OpenOCD script libraries.
+.TP
.B "\-d, \-\-debug <debuglevel>"
Set debug level. Possible values are:
-.br
+.br
.RB " * " 0 " (errors)"
-.br
+.br
.RB " * " 1 " (warnings)"
-.br
+.br
.RB " * " 2 " (informational messages)"
-.br
+.br
.RB " * " 3 " (debug messages)"
-.br
+.br
The default level is
.BR 2 .
-.TP
+.TP
.B "\-l, \-\-log_output <filename>"
Redirect log output to the file
-.BR <filename> .
+.IR <filename> .
Per default the log output is printed on
.BR stderr .
-.TP
+.TP
.B "\-c, \-\-command <cmd>"
-Run the command
-.BR <cmd> .
-.TP
+Add the command
+.I <cmd>
+to a list of commands executed on server startup.
+Note that you will need to explicitly invoke
+.I init
+if the command requires access to a target or flash.
+.TP
+.B "\-p, \-\-pipe"
+Use pipes when talking to gdb.
+.TP
.B "\-h, \-\-help"
Show a help text and exit.
-.TP
+.TP
.B "\-v, \-\-version"
Show version information and exit.
