+@subsection JTAG Transport
+JTAG is the original transport supported by OpenOCD, and most

+JTAG transports expose a chain of one or more Test Access Points (TAPs),

+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.

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
