+The vendor ID and product ID of the adapter. If not specified, default

@deffn {Interface Driver} {remote_bitbang}
Drive JTAG from a remote process. This sets up a UNIX or TCP socket connection
with a remote process and sends ASCII encoded bitbang requests to that process
two different handlers, but calling it twice with the
same event name assigns only one handler.
+Current target is temporarily overridden to the event issuing target
+before handler code starts and switched back after handler is done.

+@deffn {Flash Driver} bluenrg-x
+STMicroelectronics BlueNRG-1 and BlueNRG-2 Bluetooth low energy wireless system-on-chip. They include ARM Cortex-M0 core and internal flash memory.
+The driver automatically recognizes these chips using
+the chip identification registers, and autoconfigures itself.
+
+@example
+flash bank $_FLASHNAME bluenrg-x 0 0 0 0 $_TARGETNAME
+@end example
+
+Note that when users ask to erase all the sectors of the flash, a mass erase command is used which is faster than erasing
+each single sector one by one.
+
+@example
+flash erase_sector 0 0 79 # It will perform a mass erase on BlueNRG-1
+@end example
+
+@example
+flash erase_sector 0 0 127 # It will perform a mass erase on BlueNRG-2
+@end example
+
+Triggering a mass erase is also useful when users want to disable readout protection.
+
+@end deffn

@deffn {Flash Driver} efm32
All members of the EFM32 microcontroller family from Energy Micro include
internal flash and use ARM Cortex-M3 cores. The driver automatically recognizes
only work for code running from flash memory. Most other ARM systems
do not have such restrictions.
-Another example of useful GDB configuration came from a user who
-found that single stepping his Cortex-M3 didn't work well with IRQs
-and an RTOS until he told GDB to disable the IRQs while stepping:
-
-@example
-define hook-step
-mon cortex_m maskisr on
-end
-define hookpost-step
-mon cortex_m maskisr off
-end
-@end example
-
Rather than typing such commands interactively, you may prefer to
save them in a file and have GDB execute them as it starts, perhaps
using a @file{.gdbinit} in your project directory or starting GDB
areas to be programmed lie within the target flash area the vFlash packets
will be used.
-If the target needs configuring before GDB programming, an event
-script can be executed:
+If the target needs configuring before GDB programming, set target
+event gdb-flash-erase-start:
@example
-$_TARGETNAME configure -event EVENTNAME BODY
+$_TARGETNAME configure -event gdb-flash-erase-start BODY
@end example
+@xref{targetevents,,Target Events} for other GDB programming related events.
To verify any flash programming the GDB command @option{compare-sections}
can be used.

+@anchor{gdbmeminspect}
+
+If your project controls more than a blinking LED, let's say a heavy industrial
+robot or an experimental nuclear reactor, stopping the controlling process
+just because you want to attach GDB is not a good option.
+
+OpenOCD does not support GDB non-stop mode (might be implemented in the future).
+Though there is a possible setup where the target does not get stopped
+and GDB treats it as it were running.
+If the target supports background access to memory while it is running,
+you can use GDB in this mode to inspect memory (mainly global variables)
+without any intrusion of the target process.
+
+Remove default setting of gdb-attach event. @xref{targetevents,,Target Events}.
+Place following command after target configuration:
+@example
+$_TARGETNAME configure -event gdb-attach @{@}
+@end example
+
+If any of installed flash banks does not support probe on running target,
+switch off gdb_memory_map:
+@example
+gdb_memory_map disable
+@end example
+
+Ensure GDB is configured without interrupt-on-connect.
+Some GDB versions set it by default, some does not.
+@example
+set remote interrupt-on-connect off
+@end example
+
+If you switched gdb_memory_map off, you may want to setup GDB memory map
+manually or issue @command{set mem inaccessible-by-default off}
+
+Now you can issue GDB command @command{target 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
+and GDB would require stopping the target to get the prompt back.
+
+Do not use this mode under an IDE like Eclipse as it caches values of
+previously shown varibles.
