   7 .SH "DESCRIPTION"
   8 .B OpenOCD
   9 is an on\-chip debugging, in\-system programming and boundary\-scan
  10 testing tool for various ARM and MIPS systems.
  11 .PP
  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.
  15 .PP
  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.
  19 .PP
  20 OpenOCD supports various different types of JTAG interfaces/programmers,
  21 please check the \fIopenocd\fR info page for the complete list.
  22 .SH "OPTIONS"
  23 .TP
  24 .B "\-f, \-\-file <filename>"

  27 In order to specify multiple config files, you can use multiple
  28 .B \-\-file
  29 arguments. If this option is omitted, the config file
  30 .B openocd.cfg
  31 in the current working directory will be used.
  32 .TP
  33 .B "\-s, \-\-search <dirname>"
  34 Search for config files and scripts in the directory
  35 .BR <dirname> .
  36 If this option is omitted, OpenOCD searches for config files and scripts
  37 in the current directory.
  38 .TP
  39 .B "\-d, \-\-debug <debuglevel>"
  40 Set debug level. Possible values are:
  41 .br
  42 .RB "  * " 0 " (errors)"
  43 .br
  44 .RB "  * " 1 " (warnings)"
  45 .br
  46 .RB "  * " 2 " (informational messages)"
  47 .br
  48 .RB "  * " 3 " (debug messages)"
  49 .br
  50 The default level is
  51 .BR 2 .
  52 .TP
  53 .B "\-l, \-\-log_output <filename>"
  54 Redirect log output to the file
  55 .BR <filename> .
  56 Per default the log output is printed on

  60 Run the command
  61 .BR <cmd> .
  62 .TP
