Properly installing OpenOCD sets up your operating system to grant it access
to the debug adapters. On Linux, this usually involves installing a file
-in @file{/etc/udev/rules.d,} so OpenOCD has permissions. MS-Windows needs
+in @file{/etc/udev/rules.d,} so OpenOCD has permissions. An example rules file
+that works for many common adapters is shipped with OpenOCD in the
+@file{contrib} directory. MS-Windows needs
complex and confusing driver configuration for every peripheral. Such issues
are unique to each operating system, and are not detailed in this User's Guide.

+@deffn {Flash Driver} nrf51
+All members of the nRF51 microcontroller families from Nordic Semiconductor
+include internal flash and use ARM Cortex-M0 core.
+
+@example
+flash bank $_FLASHNAME nrf51 0 0x00000000 0 0 $_TARGETNAME
+@end example
+
+Some nrf51-specific commands are defined:
+
+@deffn Command {nrf51 mass_erase}
+Erases the contents of the code memory and user information
+configuration registers as well. It must be noted that this command
+works only for chips that do not have factory pre-programmed region 0

+Some low-level commands need to be prefixed with "ocd_"; e.g.
@command{ocd_flash_banks}
is the low-level API upon which @command{flash banks} is implemented.
@item @b{ocd_flash_banks} <@var{driver}> <@var{base}> <@var{size}> <@var{chip_width}> <@var{bus_width}> <@var{target}> [@option{driver options} ...]
Return information about the flash banks

+@section Tcl RPC server
+@cindex RPC
+
+OpenOCD provides a simple RPC server that allows to run arbitrary Tcl
+commands and receive the results.
+
+To access it, your application needs to connect to a configured TCP port
+(see @command{tcl_port}). Then it can pass any string to the
+interpreter terminating it with @code{0x1a} and wait for the return
+value (it will be terminated with @code{0x1a} as well). This can be
+repeated as many times as desired without reopening the connection.
+
+Remember that most of the OpenOCD commands need to be prefixed with
+@code{ocd_} to get the results back. Sometimes you might also need the
+@command{capture} command.
+
+See @file{contrib/rpc_examples/} for specific client implementations.
