9 is an on\-chip debugging, in\-system programming and boundary\-scan
10 testing tool for various ARM and MIPS systems.
12 The debugger uses an IEEE 1149\-1 compliant JTAG TAP bus master to access
13 on\-chip debug functionality available on ARM based microcontrollers or
14 system-on-chip solutions. For MIPS systems the EJTAG interface is supported.
16 User interaction is realized through a telnet command line interface,
17 a gdb (the GNU debugger) remote protocol server, and a simplified RPC
18 connection that can be used to interface with OpenOCD's Jim Tcl engine.
20 OpenOCD supports various different types of JTAG interfaces/programmers,
21 please check the \fIopenocd\fR info page for the complete list.
24 .B "\-f, \-\-file <filename>"
25 Use configuration file
27 In order to specify multiple config files, you can use multiple
29 arguments. If this option is omitted, the config file
31 in the current working directory will be used.
33 .B "\-s, \-\-search <dirname>"
34 Search for config files and scripts in the directory
36 If this option is omitted, OpenOCD searches for config files and scripts
37 in the current directory.
39 .B "\-d, \-\-debug <debuglevel>"
40 Set debug level. Possible values are:
42 .RB " * " 0 " (errors)"
44 .RB " * " 1 " (warnings)"
46 .RB " * " 2 " (informational messages)"
48 .RB " * " 3 " (debug messages)"
53 .B "\-l, \-\-log_output <filename>"
54 Redirect log output to the file
56 Per default the log output is printed on
59 .B "\-c, \-\-command <cmd>"
64 Use pipes when talking to gdb.
67 Show a help text and exit.
