 .SH "DESCRIPTION"
 .B OpenOCD
 is an on\-chip debugging, in\-system programming and boundary\-scan
 testing tool for ARM systems.
 .PP 
 The debugger uses an IEEE 1149\-1 compliant JTAG TAP bus master to access
-on\-chip debug functionality available on ARM7/9, XScale, and Cortex-M3 based
+on\-chip debug functionality available on ARM7/9, XScale, Cortex-M3, and
+Marvell Feroceon (as found in the Orion SoC family) based
 microcontrollers / system\-on\-chip solutions.
 .PP 
 User interaction is realized through a telnet command line interface and
 a gdb (the GNU debugger) remote protocol server.
