.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.B OpenOCD
is an on\-chip debugging, in\-system programming and boundary\-scan
-testing tool for ARM systems.
+testing tool for various ARM and MIPS systems.
.PP
The debugger uses an IEEE 1149\-1 compliant JTAG TAP bus master to access
-on\-chip debug functionality available on ARM7/9, XScale, Cortex-M3, and
-Marvell Feroceon (as found in the Orion SoC family) based
-microcontrollers / system\-on\-chip solutions.
+on\-chip debug functionality available on ARM based microcontrollers or
+system-on-chip solutions. For MIPS systems the EJTAG interface is supported.
.PP
-User interaction is realized through a telnet command line interface and
-a gdb (the GNU debugger) remote protocol server.
+User interaction is realized through a telnet command line interface,
+a gdb (the GNU debugger) remote protocol server, and a simplified RPC
+connection that can be used to interface with OpenOCD's Jim Tcl engine.
.PP
OpenOCD supports various different types of JTAG interfaces/programmers,
