first target will be gdb_port, the second target will listen on gdb_port + 1, and so on.

+@node GDB and Openocd
+@chapter GDB and Openocd
+@cindex GDB and Openocd
+Openocd complies with the remote gdbserver protocol, and as such can be used
+to debug remote targets.
+
+@section Connecting to gdb
+@cindex Connecting to gdb
+A connection is typically started as follows:
+@smallexample
+target remote localhost:3333
+@end smallexample
+This would cause gdb to connect to the gdbserver on the local pc using port 3333.
+
+To see a list of available openocd commands type @option{monitor help} on the
+gdb commandline.
+
+Openocd supports the gdb @option{qSupported} packet, this enables information
+to be sent by the gdb server (openocd) to gdb. Typical information includes
+packet size and device memory map.
+
+Previous versions of openocd required the following gdb options to increase
+the packet size and speed up gdb communication.
+@smallexample
+set remote memory-write-packet-size 1024
+set remote memory-write-packet-size fixed
+set remote memory-read-packet-size 1024
+set remote memory-read-packet-size fixed
+@end smallexample
+This is now handled in the @option{qSupported} PacketSize.
+
+@section Programming using gdb
+@cindex Programming using gdb
+
+By default the target memory map is not sent to gdb, this can be enabled by
+the following openocd config option:
+@smallexample
+gdb_memory_map enable
+@end smallexample
+For this to function correctly a valid flash config must also be configured
+in openocd. For speed also configure a valid working area.
+
+Informing gdb of the memory map of the target will enable gdb to protect any
+flash area of the target and use hardware breakpoints by default. This means
+that the openocd option @option{arm7_9 force_hw_bkpts} is not required when
+using a memory map.
+
+To view the configured memory map in gdb, use the gdb command @option{info mem}
+All other unasigned addresses within gdb are treated as ram.
+
+If @option{gdb_flash_program enable} is also used, gdb will be able to
+program any flash memory using the vFlash interface.
+
+gdb will look at the target memory map when a load command is given, if any
+areas to be programmed lie within the target flash area the vFlash packets
+will be used.
+
+Incase the target needs configuring before gdb programming, a script can be executed.
+@smallexample
+target_script 0 gdb_program_config config.script
+@end smallexample
+
+To verify any flash programming the gdb command @option{compare-sections}
+can be used.
