David Brownell <david-b@pacbell.net>:

Start converting the architecture-specific commands to @deffn format,
reviewing against the code.

  * armv4_5 disassemble ... now documented; although Jazelle code
    is not handled

  * It's "armv4_5 core_state" not "core_mode"; although Jazelle state
    is not handled

  * arm7/9 "debug" commands ... now with other arm7_9 commands, no
    longer in a separate section

  * arm926ejs cp15 ... previous description was broken, it matched
    the code for arm920t instead

  * Have separate subsections for ARMv4/ARMv5, ARMv6, and ARMv7; the
    latter are new
    
  * Move core-specific descriptions into sub-subsections under those
    architectures; XScale and ARM11 descriptions are new

The new XScale and ARM11 command descriptions surely need elaboration
and review.  ARM CP15 operation descriptions in general seem to be
confused and incomplete.

@cindex ARMV4/5 specific commands
Most CPUs have specialized JTAG operations to support debugging.
OpenOCD packages most such operations in its standard command framework.
Some of those operations don't fit well in that framework, so they are
exposed here using architecture or implementation specific commands.
These commands are specific to ARM architecture v4 and v5, like all ARM7/9 systems
or Intel XScale (XScale isn't supported yet).

They are available in addition to other core-specific
commands that may be available.
@deffn Command {armv4_5 core_state} [arm|thumb]
Displays the core_state, optionally changing it to process
either @option{arm} or @option{thumb} instructions.
The target may later be resumed in the currently set core_state.
(Processors may also support the Jazelle state, but
that is not currently supported in OpenOCD.)

@deffn Command {armv4_5 disassemble} address count [thumb]
@cindex disassemble
Disassembles @var{count} instructions starting at @var{address}.
If @option{thumb} is specified, Thumb (16-bit) instructions are used;
else ARM (32-bit) instructions are used.
(Processors may also support the Jazelle state, but
those instructions are not currently understood by OpenOCD.)

@deffn Command {arm7_9 dbgrq} (enable|disable)

unsafe, especially with targets running at very low speeds. This command was introduced
with OpenOCD rev. 60, and requires a few bytes of working area.

@deffn Command {arm7_9 fast_memory_access} (enable|disable)
Enable or disable memory writes and reads that don't check completion of
the operation. This provides a huge speed increase, especially with USB JTAG
cables (FT2232), but might be unsafe if used with targets running at very low
speeds, like the 32kHz startup clock of an AT91RM9200.

@subsection ARM720T specific commands
@deffn {Debug Command} {arm7_9 write_core_reg} num mode word
@emph{This is intended for use while debugging OpenOCD; you probably
shouldn't use it.}
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.
The write goes directly to the CPU, bypassing the register cache.
@end deffn
@deffn {Debug Command} {arm7_9 write_xpsr} word (0|1)
@emph{This is intended for use while debugging OpenOCD; you probably
shouldn't use it.}
If the second parameter is zero, writes @var{word} to the
Current Program Status register (CPSR).
Else writes @var{word} to the current mode's Saved PSR (SPSR).
In both cases, this bypasses the register cache.
@end deffn
@deffn {Debug Command} {arm7_9 write_xpsr_im8} byte rotate (0|1)
@emph{This is intended for use while debugging OpenOCD; you probably
shouldn't use it.}
Writes eight bits to the CPSR or SPSR,
first rotating them by @math{2*rotate} bits,
and bypassing the register cache.
This has lower JTAG overhead than writing the entire CPSR or SPSR
with @command{arm7_9 write_xpsr}.
