+The SWIM transport is selected with the command @command{transport select swim}.
+
+The concept of TAPs does not fit in the protocol since SWIM does not implement
+a scan chain. Nevertheless, the current SW model of OpenOCD requires defining a
+virtual SWIM TAP through the command @command{swim newtap basename tap_type}.

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
