+All members of the Apollo microcontroller family from
+Ambiq Micro include internal flash and use ARM's Cortex-M4 core.
+The host connects over USB to an FTDI interface that communicates
+with the target using SWD.
+
+The @var{ambiqmicro} driver reads the Chip Information Register detect
+the device class of the MCU.
+The Flash and Sram sizes directly follow device class, and are used
+to set up the flash banks.
+If this fails, the driver will use default values set to the minimum
+sizes of an Apollo chip.
+
+All Apollo chips have two flash banks of the same size.
+In all cases the first flash bank starts at location 0,
+and the second bank starts after the first.
+
+@example
+# Flash bank 0
+flash bank $_FLASHNAME ambiqmicro 0 0x00040000 0 0 $_TARGETNAME
+# Flash bank 1 - same size as bank0, starts after bank 0.
+flash bank $_FLASHNAME ambiqmicro 0x00040000 0x00040000 0 0 $_TARGETNAME
+@end example
+
+Flash is programmed using custom entry points into the bootloader.
+This is the only way to program the flash as no flash control registers
+are available to the user.
+
+The @var{ambiqmicro} driver adds some additional commands:
+
+@deffn Command {ambiqmicro mass_erase} <bank>
+Erase entire bank.
+@end deffn
+@deffn Command {ambiqmicro page_erase} <bank> <first> <last>
+Erase device pages.
+@end deffn
+@deffn Command {ambiqmicro program_otp} <bank> <offset> <count>
+Program OTP is a one time operation to create write protected flash.
+The user writes sectors to sram starting at 0x10000010.
+Program OTP will write these sectors from sram to flash, and write protect
+the flash.
