What is OpenOCD used for?
The Open On-Chip Debugger (OpenOCD) aims to provide debugging, in-system programming and boundary-scan testing for embedded target devices. It does so with the assistance of a debug adapter, which is a small hardware module which helps provide the right kind of electrical signaling to the target being debugged.
What is OpenOCD and GDB?
OpenOCD complies with the remote gdbserver protocol and, as such, can be used to debug remote targets. Setting up GDB to work with OpenOCD can involve several components: The OpenOCD server support for GDB may need to be configured. See GDB Configuration.

If user types CTRL-C or kills OpenOCD, either the command shutdown or its replacement will be automatically executed before OpenOCD exits.
What is chip debugging?
On-chip debugging is an alternative to in-circuit emulation. It uses a different approach to address a similar goal. On-chip debugging, often loosely termed as Joint Test Action Group (JTAG), uses the provision of an additional debugging interface to the live hardware, in the production system.
How does open OCD work?
