+OpenOCD is an on-chip debugging, in-system programming and boundary-scan
+testing tool for ARM systems. The debugger uses an IEEE 1149-1
+compliant JTAG TAP bus master to access on-chip debug functionality available
+on ARM based microcontrollers or system-on-chip solutions.
+
+User interaction is realized through a telnet command line interface, a
+gdb (the GNU debugger) remote protocol server.
+
+OpenOCD supports many different types of JTAG interfaces/programmers.
