A socket (TCP/IP) connection is typically started as follows:
@example
-target remote localhost:3333
+target extended-remote localhost:3333
@end example
This would cause GDB to connect to the gdbserver on the local pc using port 3333.
-It is also possible to use the GDB extended remote protocol as follows:
+The extended remote protocol is a super-set of the remote protocol and should
+be the preferred choice. More details are available in GDB documentation
+@url{https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Connecting.html}
+
+To speed-up typing, any GDB command can be abbreviated, including the extended
+remote command above that becomes:
@example
-target extended-remote localhost:3333
+tar ext :3333
@end example
+
+@b{Note:} If any backward compatibility issue requires using the old remote
+protocol in place of the extended remote one, the former protocol is still
+available through the command:
+@example
+target remote localhost:3333
+@end example

A pipe connection is typically started as follows:
@example
-target remote | openocd -c "gdb_port pipe; log_output openocd.log"
+target extended-remote | openocd -c "gdb_port pipe; log_output openocd.log"
@end example
This would cause GDB to run OpenOCD and communicate using pipes (stdin/stdout).
Using this method has the advantage of GDB starting/stopping OpenOCD for the debug

+Now you can issue GDB command @command{target extended-remote ...} and inspect memory
of a running target. Do not use GDB commands @command{continue},
@command{step} or @command{next} as they synchronize GDB with your target
