+@deffn {Config Command} {flash bank} name driver base size chip_width bus_width target [driver_options]
Configures a flash bank which provides persistent storage
for addresses from @math{base} to @math{base + size - 1}.
These banks will often be visible to GDB through the target's memory map.

@itemize @bullet
+@item @var{name} ... may be used to reference the flash bank

@item @var{driver} ... identifies the controller driver
associated with the flash bank being declared.
This is usually @code{cfi} for external flash, or else

OpenOCD has initialized.

@deffn Command reg [(number|name) [value]]
Access a single register by @var{number} or by its @var{name}.
+The target must generally be halted before access to CPU core
+registers is allowed. Depending on the hardware, some other
+registers may be accessible while the target is running.
@emph{With no arguments}:
list all available registers for the current target,
showing number, name, size, value, and cache status.
+For valid entries, a value is shown; valid entries
+which are also dirty (and will be written back later)
+are flagged as such.
@emph{With number/name}: display that register's value.
@emph{With both number/name and value}: set register's value.
+Writes may be held in a writeback cache internal to OpenOCD,
+so that setting the value marks the register as dirty instead
+of immediately flushing that value. Resuming CPU execution
+(including by single stepping) or otherwise activating the
+relevant module will flush such values.

-@deffn {Debug Command} {arm7_9 write_core_reg} num mode word
-@emph{This is intended for use while debugging OpenOCD; you probably

-
-Writes a 32-bit @var{word} to register @var{num} (from 0 to 16)
-as used in the specified @var{mode}
-(where e.g. mode 16 is "user" and mode 19 is "supervisor";
-the M4..M0 bits of the PSR).
-Registers 0..15 are the normal CPU registers such as r0(0), r1(1) ... pc(15).
-Register 16 is the mode-specific SPSR,
-unless the specified mode is 0xffffffff (32-bit all-ones)
-in which case register 16 is the CPSR.

-
-If the second parameter is zero, writes @var{word} to the

-Writes eight bits to the CPSR or SPSR,
