Target Layer:
- General
- - new "reset-assert" event, for systems without SRST
- ARM
- - renamed "armv4_5" command prefix as "arm"
- - recognize TrustZone "Secure Monitor" mode
- - "arm regs" command output changed
- - register names use "sp" not "r13"
- - add top-level "mcr" and "mrc" commands, replacing
- various core-specific operations
- ARM11
- - Preliminary ETM and ETB hookup
- - accelerated "flash erase_check"
- - accelerated GDB memory checksum
- - support "arm regs" command
- - can access all core modes and registers
- Cortex-A8
- - support "arm regs" command
- - can access all core modes and registers
- - supports "reset-assert" event (used on OMAP3530)
- Cortex-M3
- - Exposed DWT registers like cycle counter
+ * New target: Andes nds32
+ * New target: OpenRISC OR1K
+ * New target: Intel Quark X10xx
+ * MIPS EJTAG 1.5/2.0 support
+ * MIPS speed improvements
+ * Cortex-M, Cortex-A (MEM-AP, APB-AP) targets working with BE
+ hosts now
+ * XScale vector_catch support, reset fixes

Flash Layer:
- 'flash bank' and 'nand device' take <bank_name> as first argument.
- With this, flash/NAND commands allow referencing banks by name:
- - <bank_name>: reference the bank with its defined name
- - <driver_name>[.N]: reference the driver's Nth bank
- New 'nand verify' command to check bank against an image file.
