+.SH "NAME"
+openocd \- A free and open on\-chip debugging, in\-system programming and
+boundary\-scan testing tool for ARM systems (currently ARM7/9 and XScale, Cortex\-M3 support to be merged)
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.B openocd \fR[\fB\-fdlh\fR] [\fB\-\-file\fR <filename>] [\fB\-\-debug\fR <debuglevel>] [\fB\-\-log_output\fR <filename>] [\fB\-\-help]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.B OpenOCD
+is an on\-chip debugging, in\-system programming and boundary\-scan
+testing tool for ARM systems.
+.PP 
+The debugger uses an IEEE 1149\-1 compliant JTAG TAP bus master to access
+on\-chip debug functionality available on ARM7/9 and XScale based
+microcontrollers / system\-on\-chip solutions.
+.PP 
+User interaction is realized through a telnet command line interface and
+a gdb (the GNU debugger) remote protocol server.
+.PP 
+OpenOCD supports various different types of JTAG interfaces/programmers:
+  * Parallel port wigglers
+  * Amontec JTAG Accelerator
+  * FTDI FT2232 based USB devices
+  * USBJTAG
+  * OOCD\-Link
+  * Amontec JTAGkey
+  * Amontec JTAGkey\-Tiny
+  * Olimex ARM\-USB\-OCD
+  * eVerve Signalyzer
+  * ... other FT2232 based dongles
+.PP 
+It also supports a number of different ARM7/9 cores:
+  * ARM7TDMI(\-s)
+  * ARM720t
+  * ARM9TDMI
+  * ARM920t
+  * ARM922t
+  * ARM926ej\-s
+  * ARM966e
+.PP 
+Support for Intel XScale CPUs is also included:
+  * PXA25x
+  * IXP42x
+
+PXA27x debugging should be similar to the PXA25x but fails in the current
+version of OpenOCD.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.TP 
+.B "\-f, \-\-file <filename>"
+Use configuration file
+.BR <filename> .
+If this option is omitted, the config file
+.B openocd.cfg
+in the current working directory will be used.
+.TP 
+.B "\-d, \-\-debug <debuglevel>"
+Set debug level. Possible values are:
+.br 
+.RB "  * " 0 " (errors)"
+.br 
+.RB "  * " 1 " (warnings)"
+.br 
+.RB "  * " 2 " (informational messages)"
+.br 
+.RB "  * " 3 " (debug messages)"
+.br 
+The default level is
+.BR 2 .
+.TP 
+.B "\-l, \-\-log_output <filename>"
+Redirect log output to the file
+.BR <filename> .
+Per default the log output is printed on
+.BR stderr .
