+@section RISC-V Architecture
+
+@uref{http://riscv.org/, RISC-V} is a free and open ISA. OpenOCD supports JTAG
+debug of targets that implement version 0.11 and 0.13 of the RISC-V Debug
+Specification.
+
+@subsection RISC-V Terminology
+
+A @emph{hart} is a hardware thread. A hart may share resources (eg. FPU) with
+another hart, or may be a separate core.  RISC-V treats those the same, and
+OpenOCD exposes each hart as a separate core.
+
+@subsection RISC-V Debug Configuration Commands
+
+@deffn Command {riscv expose_csrs} n0[-m0][,n1[-m1]]...
+Configure a list of inclusive ranges for CSRs to expose in addition to the
+standard ones. This must be executed before `init`.
+
+By default OpenOCD attempts to expose only CSRs that are mentioned in a spec,
+and then only if the corresponding extension appears to be implemented. This
+command can be used if OpenOCD gets this wrong, or a target implements custom
+CSRs.
+@end deffn
+
+@deffn Command {riscv set_command_timeout_sec} [seconds]
+Set the wall-clock timeout (in seconds) for individual commands. The default
+should work fine for all but the slowest targets (eg. simulators).
+@end deffn
+
+@deffn Command {riscv set_reset_timeout_sec} [seconds]
+Set the maximum time to wait for a hart to come out of reset after reset is
+deasserted.
+@end deffn
+
+@deffn Command {riscv set_scratch_ram} none|[address]
+Set the address of 16 bytes of scratch RAM the debugger can use, or 'none'.
+This is used to access 64-bit floating point registers on 32-bit targets.
+@end deffn
+
+@deffn Command {riscv set_prefer_sba} on|off
+When on, prefer to use System Bus Access to access memory.  When off, prefer to
+use the Program Buffer to access memory.
+@end deffn
+
+@subsection RISC-V Authentication Commands
+
+The following commands can be used to authenticate to a RISC-V system. Eg.  a
+trivial challenge-response protocol could be implemented as follows in a
+configuration file, immediately following @command{init}:
+@example
+set challenge [ocd_riscv authdata_read]
+riscv authdata_write [expr $challenge + 1]
+@end example
+
+@deffn Command {riscv authdata_read}
+Return the 32-bit value read from authdata. Note that to get read value back in
+a TCL script, it needs to be invoked as @command{ocd_riscv authdata_read}.
+@end deffn
+
+@deffn Command {riscv authdata_write} value
+Write the 32-bit value to authdata.
+@end deffn
+
+@subsection RISC-V DMI Commands
+
+The following commands allow direct access to the Debug Module Interface, which
+can be used to interact with custom debug features.
+
+@deffn Command {riscv dmi_read}
+Perform a 32-bit DMI read at address, returning the value.  Note that to get
+read value back in a TCL script, it needs to be invoked as @command{ocd_riscv
+dmi_read}.
+@end deffn
+
+@deffn Command {riscv dmi_write} address value
+Perform a 32-bit DMI write of value at address.
