+The Open On-Chip Debugger (OpenOCD) aims to provide debugging, in-system
+programming and boundary-scan testing for embedded target devices. OpenOCD
+uses a "hardware interface dongle" to communicate with the JTAG (IEEE 1149.1)
+compliant taps on your target board. OpenOCD currently supports many types
+of hardware dongles: USB based, parallel port based, and other standalone boxes
+that run OpenOCD internally. It allows MIPS, ARM7, ARM9, XScale and Cortex
+based cores to be debugged via the GDB protocol. Flash writing is supported
+for external CFI compatible NOR flashes, NAND and several internal flashes.
