+@* A driver for Cadence virtual Debug Interface to emulated or simulated targets.
+It implements a client connecting to the vdebug server, which in turn communicates
+with the emulated or simulated RTL model through a transactor. The current version
+supports only JTAG as a transport, but other virtual transports, like DAP are planned.

+@deffn {Config Command} {vdebug batching} value

+Takes two values, representing the polling interval in ms. Lower values mean faster

+timeout value.

+Specifies the hierarchical path to the design memory instance for backdoor access.
