List the debug adapter drivers that have been built into
the running copy of OpenOCD.
@end deffn
+@deffn Command {interface transports} transport_name+
+Specifies the transports supported by this debug adapter.
+The adapter driver builds-in similar knowledge; use this only
+when external configuration (such as jumpering) changes what
+the hardware can support.
+@end deffn
+
+
@deffn Command {adapter_name}
Returns the name of the debug adapter driver being used.
@deffn {Interface Driver} {ZY1000}
This is the Zylin ZY1000 JTAG debugger.

This defines some driver-specific commands,
No arguments: print status.

+@section Transport Configuration
+As noted earlier, depending on the version of OpenOCD you use,
+and the debug adapter you are using,
+several transports may be available to
+communicate with debug targets (or perhaps to program flash memory).
+@deffn Command {transport list}
+displays the names of the transports supported by this
+version of OpenOCD.
+@end deffn
+
+@deffn Command {transport select} transport_name
+Select which of the supported transports to use in this OpenOCD session.
+The transport must be supported by the debug adapter hardware and by the
+version of OPenOCD you are using (including the adapter's driver).
+No arguments: returns name of session's selected transport.
+@end deffn
+
+@subsection JTAG Transport
+JTAG is the original transport supported by OpenOCD, and most
+of the OpenOCD commands support it.
+JTAG transports expose a chain of one or more Test Access Points (TAPs),
+each of which must be explicitly declared.
+JTAG supports both debugging and boundary scan testing.
+Flash programming support is built on top of debug support.
+@subsection SWD Transport
+SWD (Serial Wire Debug) is an ARM-specific transport which exposes one
+Debug Access Point (DAP, which must be explicitly declared.
+(SWD uses fewer signal wires than JTAG.)
+SWD is debug-oriented, and does not support boundary scan testing.
+Flash programming support is built on top of debug support.
+(Some processors support both JTAG and SWD.)
+@subsection SPI Transport
+The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a general purpose transport
+which uses four wire signaling. Some processors use it as part of a
+solution for flash programming.

-@deffn Command {nand check_bad_blocks} [offset length]
+@deffn Command {nand check_bad_blocks} num [offset length]
Checks for manufacturer bad block markers on the specified NAND
device. If no parameters are provided, checks the whole
device; otherwise, starts at the specified @var{offset} and
@xref{Running}.

-@deffn Command fast (@option{enable}|@option{disable})
-Default disabled.
-Set default behaviour of OpenOCD to be "fast and dangerous".
-
-At this writing, this only affects the defaults for two ARM7/ARM9 parameters:
-fast memory access, and DCC downloads. Those parameters may still be
-individually overridden.
-
-The target specific "dangerous" optimisation tweaking options may come and go
-as more robust and user friendly ways are found to ensure maximum throughput
-and robustness with a minimum of configuration.
-
-Typically the "fast enable" is specified first on the command line:
-
-@example
-openocd -c "fast enable" -c "interface dummy" -f target/str710.cfg
-@end example

@deffn Command echo message
Logs a message at "user" priority.
Output @var{message} to stdout.
mini-IC is marked valid, which makes the CPU fetch all exception
handlers from the mini-IC, ignoring the code in RAM.
-OpenOCD currently does not sync the mini-IC entries with the RAM
-contents (which would fail anyway while the target is running), so
-the user must provide appropriate values using the @code{xscale
-vector_table} command.
+To address this situation, OpenOCD provides the @code{xscale
+vector_table} command, which allows the user to explicity write
+individual entries to either the high or low vector table stored in
+the mini-IC.
It is recommended to place a pc-relative indirect branch in the vector
table, and put the branch destination somewhere in memory. Doing so
.long real_fiq_handler
@end example
+Alternatively, you may choose to keep some or all of the mini-IC
+vector table entries synced with those written to memory by your
+system software. The mini-IC can not be modified while the processor
+is executing, but for each vector table entry not previously defined
+using the @code{xscale vector_table} command, OpenOCD will copy the
+value from memory to the mini-IC every time execution resumes from a
+halt. This is done for both high and low vector tables (although the
+table not in use may not be mapped to valid memory, and in this case
+that copy operation will silently fail). This means that you will
+need to briefly halt execution at some strategic point during system
+start-up; e.g., after the software has initialized the vector table,
+but before exceptions are enabled. A breakpoint can be used to
+accomplish this once the appropriate location in the start-up code has
+been identified. A watchpoint over the vector table region is helpful
+in finding the location if you're not sure. Note that the same
+situation exists any time the vector table is modified by the system
+software.

The debug handler must be placed somewhere in the address space using
the @code{xscale debug_handler} command. The allowed locations for the
debug handler are either (0x800 - 0x1fef800) or (0xfe000800 -
