+@subsection Define CPU targets working in SMP
+@cindex SMP
+After setting targets, you can define a list of targets working in SMP.
+
+@example
+set _TARGETNAME_1 $_CHIPNAME.cpu1
+set _TARGETNAME_2 $_CHIPNAME.cpu2
+target create $_TARGETNAME_1 cortex_a8 -chain-position $_CHIPNAME.dap \
+-coreid 0 -dbgbase $_DAP_DBG1
+target create $_TARGETNAME_2 cortex_a8 -chain-position $_CHIPNAME.dap \
+-coreid 1 -dbgbase $_DAP_DBG2
+#define 2 targets working in smp.
+target smp $_CHIPNAME.cpu2 $_CHIPNAME.cpu1
+@end example
+In the above example on cortex_a8, 2 cpus are working in SMP.
+In SMP only one GDB instance is created and :
+@itemize @bullet
+@item a set of hardware breakpoint sets the same breakpoint on all targets in the list.
+@item halt command triggers the halt of all targets in the list.
+@item resume command triggers the write context and the restart of all targets in the list.
+@item following a breakpoint: the target stopped by the breakpoint is displayed to the GDB session.
+@item dedicated GDB serial protocol packets are implemented for switching/retrieving the target
+displayed by the GDB session @pxref{Using openocd SMP with GDB}.
+@end itemize
+
+The SMP behaviour can be disabled/enabled dynamically. On cortex_a8 following
+command have been implemented.
+@itemize @bullet
+@item cortex_a8 smp_on : enable SMP mode, behaviour is as described above.
+@item cortex_a8 smp_off : disable SMP mode, the current target is the one
+displayed in the GDB session, only this target is now controlled by GDB
+session. This behaviour is useful during system boot up.
+@item cortex_a8 smp_gdb : display/fix the core id displayed in GDB session see
+following example.
+@end itemize
+
+@example
+>cortex_a8 smp_gdb
+gdb coreid 0 -> -1
+#0 : coreid 0 is displayed to GDB ,
+#-> -1 : next resume triggers a real resume
+> cortex_a8 smp_gdb 1
+gdb coreid 0 -> 1
+#0 :coreid 0 is displayed to GDB ,
+#->1 : next resume displays coreid 1 to GDB
+> resume
+> cortex_a8 smp_gdb
+gdb coreid 1 -> 1
+#1 :coreid 1 is displayed to GDB ,
+#->1 : next resume displays coreid 1 to GDB
+> cortex_a8 smp_gdb -1
+gdb coreid 1 -> -1
+#1 :coreid 1 is displayed to GDB,
+#->-1 : next resume triggers a real resume
+@end example

@subsection Cortex-M3 specific commands
@cindex Cortex-M3
-@deffn Command {cortex_m3 maskisr} (@option{on}|@option{off})
+@deffn Command {cortex_m3 maskisr} (@option{auto}|@option{on}|@option{off})
Control masking (disabling) interrupts during target step/resume.
+
+The @option{auto} option handles interrupts during stepping a way they get
+served but don't disturb the program flow. The step command first allows
+pending interrupt handlers to execute, then disables interrupts and steps over
+the next instruction where the core was halted. After the step interrupts
+are enabled again. If the interrupt handlers don't complete within 500ms,
+the step command leaves with the core running.
+
+Note that a free breakpoint is required for the @option{auto} option. If no
+breakpoint is available at the time of the step, then the step is taken
+with interrupts enabled, i.e. the same way the @option{off} option does.
+
+Default is @option{auto}.
@end deffn
@deffn Command {cortex_m3 vector_catch} [@option{all}|@option{none}|list]
To verify any flash programming the GDB command @option{compare-sections}
can be used.

+@section Using openocd SMP with GDB
+@cindex SMP
+For SMP support following GDB serial protocol packet have been defined :
+@itemize @bullet
+@item j - smp status request
+@item J - smp set request
+@end itemize
+
+OpenOCD implements :
+@itemize @bullet
+@item @option{jc} packet for reading core id displayed by
+GDB connection. Reply is @option{XXXXXXXX} (8 hex digits giving core id) or
+ @option{E01} for target not smp.
+@item @option{JcXXXXXXXX} (8 hex digits) packet for setting core id displayed at next GDB continue
+(core id -1 is reserved for returning to normal resume mode). Reply @option{E01}
+for target not smp or @option{OK} on success.
+@end itemize
+
+Handling of this packet within GDB can be done :
+@itemize @bullet
+@item by the creation of an internal variable (i.e @option{_core}) by mean
+of function allocate_computed_value allowing following GDB command.
+@example
+set $_core 1
+#Jc01 packet is sent
+print $_core
+#jc packet is sent and result is affected in $
+@end example
+
+@item by the usage of GDB maintenance command as described in following example (2
+cpus in SMP with core id 0 and 1 @pxref{Define CPU targets working in SMP}).
+
+@example
+# toggle0 : force display of coreid 0
+define toggle0
+maint packet Jc0
+continue
+main packet Jc-1
+end
+# toggle1 : force display of coreid 1
+define toggle1
+maint packet Jc1
+continue
+main packet Jc-1
+end
