These banks will often be visible to GDB through the target's memory map.

+@cindex NAND verification
+@cindex NAND programming
+Verify the binary data in the file has been programmed to the

+The @var{num} parameter is the value shown by @command{nand list}.
+
+Use a complete path name for @var{filename}, so you don't depend
+on the directory used to start the OpenOCD server.

+The @var{offset} must be an exact multiple of the device's page size.
+All data in the file will be read and compared to the contents of the

@section Other NAND commands
@cindex NAND other commands
@deffn Command reg [(number|name) [value]]
Access a single register by @var{number} or by its @var{name}.
+The target must generally be halted before access to CPU core
+registers is allowed. Depending on the hardware, some other
+registers may be accessible while the target is running.
@emph{With no arguments}:
list all available registers for the current target,
showing number, name, size, value, and cache status.
+For valid entries, a value is shown; valid entries
+which are also dirty (and will be written back later)
+are flagged as such.
@emph{With number/name}: display that register's value.
@emph{With both number/name and value}: set register's value.
+Writes may be held in a writeback cache internal to OpenOCD,
+so that setting the value marks the register as dirty instead
+of immediately flushing that value. Resuming CPU execution
+(including by single stepping) or otherwise activating the
+relevant module will flush such values.
Cores may have surprisingly many registers in their
