supported by a diverse community of software and hardware developers from

may generically be called @dfn{hardware interface dongles}.

+@cindex RAM testing
+
+There is often a need to stress-test random access memory (RAM) for
+errors. OpenOCD comes with a Tcl implementation of well-known memory
+testing procedures allowing to detect all sorts of issues with
+electrical wiring, defective chips, PCB layout and other common
+hardware problems.
+
+To use them you usually need to initialise your RAM controller first,
+consult your SoC's documentation to get the recommended list of
+register operations and translate them to the corresponding
+@command{mww}/@command{mwb} commands.
+
+Load the memory testing functions with
+
+@example

+
+@deffn Command {memTestDataBus} address

+@end deffn
+
+@deffn Command {memTestDevice} baseaddress size
+Test the integrity of a physical memory device by performing an
