@*Same functionality and arguments as load_image, but image is stored in memory
@*Normally you should be using @b{load_image} or GDB load. However, for
testing purposes or when IO overhead is significant(OpenOCD running on embedded
host), then storing the image in memory and uploading the image to the target
can be a way to upload e.g. multiple debug sessions when the binary does not change.
Arguments as @b{load_image}, but image is stored in OpenOCD host
memory, i.e. does not affect target. This approach is also useful when profiling
target programming performance as IO and target programming can easily be profiled
seperately.

@chapter TFTP
@cindex TFTP
If OpenOCD runs on an embedded host(as ZY1000 does), then tftp can
be used to access files on PCs(either developer PC or some other PC).
The way this works is to prefix a filename by "/tftp/ip/" and append
the tftp path on the tftp server(tftpd). E.g. "load_image /tftp/10.0.0.96/c:\temp\abc.elf"
will load c:\temp\abc.elf from the developer pc (10.0.0.96) into memory as
if the file was hosted on the embedded host.
In order to achieve decent performance, you must choose a tftp server
that supports a packet size bigger than the default packet size(512 bytes). There
are numerous tftp servers out there(free and commercial) and you will have to do
a bit of googling to find something that fits your requirements.
