+Synopsys DesignWare ARC Processors are a family of 32-bit CPUs that SoC
+designers can optimize for a wide range of uses, from deeply embedded to
+high-performance host applications in a variety of market segments. See more
+at: http://www.synopsys.com/IP/ProcessorIP/ARCProcessors/Pages/default.aspx.
+OpenOCD currently supports ARC EM processors.
+There is a set ARC-specific OpenOCD commands that allow low-level
+access to the core and provide necessary support for ARC extensibility and
+configurability capabilities. ARC processors has much more configuration
+capabilities than most of the other processors and in addition there is an
+extension interface that allows SoC designers to add custom registers and
+instructions. For the OpenOCD that mostly means that set of core and AUX
+registers in target will vary and is not fixed for a particular processor
+model. To enable extensibility several TCL commands are provided that allow to
+describe those optional registers in OpenOCD configuration files. Moreover
+those commands allow for a dynamic target features discovery.

+
+@item @code{-num} number

+
+@end itemize
+
+@var{configparams} may have following optional arguments:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+
+@item @code{-gdbnum} number
+@*GDB register number. It is recommended to not assign GDB register number
+manually, because there would be a risk that two register will have same
+number. When register GDB number is not set with this option, then register
+will get a previous register number + 1. This option is required only for those
+registers that must be at particular address expected by GDB.
+
+@item @code{-core}
+@*This option specifies that register is a core registers. If not - this is an
+AUX register. AUX registers and core registers reside in different address
+spaces.
+
+@item @code{-bcr}
+@*This options specifies that register is a BCR register. BCR means Build
+Configuration Registers - this is a special type of AUX registers that are read
+only and non-volatile, that is - they never change their value. Therefore OpenOCD
+never invalidates values of those registers in internal caches. Because BCR is a
+type of AUX registers, this option cannot be used with @code{-core}.
+
+@item @code{-type} type_name
+@*Name of type of this register. This can be either one of the basic GDB types,
+or a custom types described with @command{arc add-reg-type-[flags|struct]}.
+
+@item @code{-g}
+@* If specified then this is a "general" register. General registers are always
+read by OpenOCD on context save (when core has just been halted) and is always
+transferred to GDB client in a response to g-packet. Contrary to this,
+non-general registers are read and sent to GDB client on-demand. In general it
+is not recommended to apply this option to custom registers.
