+<h4 class="subsection">G.5.2 ARC Features</h4>
+<a name="index-target-descriptions_002c-ARC-Features"></a>
+
+<p>ARC processors are so configurable that even core registers and their numbers
+are not predetermined completely. Moreover, <em>flags</em> and <em>PC</em>
+registers, which are important to <small>GDB</small>, are not &ldquo;core&rdquo; registers in
+ARC. Therefore, there are two features that their presence is mandatory:
+&lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.arc.core</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.arc.aux</samp>&rsquo;.
+</p>
+<p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.arc.core</samp>&rsquo; feature is required for all targets. It must
+contain registers:
+</p>
+<ul class="no-bullet">
+<li>- &lsquo;<samp>r0</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>r25</samp>&rsquo; for normal register file targets.
+</li><li>- &lsquo;<samp>r0</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>r3</samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp>r10</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>r15</samp>&rsquo; for reduced
+register file targets.
+</li><li>- &lsquo;<samp>gp</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>fp</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>sp</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>r30</samp>&rsquo;<a name="DOCF23" href="#FOOT23"><sup>23</sup></a>,
+&lsquo;<samp>blink</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>lp_count</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>pcl</samp>&rsquo;.
+</li></ul>
+
+<p>In case of an ARCompact target (ARCv1 ISA), the &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.arc.core</samp>&rsquo;
+feature may contain registers &lsquo;<samp>ilink1</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>ilink2</samp>&rsquo;. While in case
+of ARC EM and ARC HS targets (ARCv2 ISA), register &lsquo;<samp>ilink</samp>&rsquo; may be present.
+The difference between ARCv1 and ARCv2 is the naming of registers <em>29th</em>
+and <em>30th</em>. They are called &lsquo;<samp>ilink1</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>ilink2</samp>&rsquo; for ARCv1 and
+are optional. For ARCv2, they are called &lsquo;<samp>ilink</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>r30</samp>&rsquo; and only
+&lsquo;<samp>ilink</samp>&rsquo; is optional. The optionality of &lsquo;<samp>ilink*</samp>&rsquo; registers is
+because of their inaccessibility during user space debugging sessions.
+</p>
+<p>Extension core registers &lsquo;<samp>r32</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>r59</samp>&rsquo; are optional and their
+existence depends on the configuration. When debugging GNU/Linux applications,
+i.e. user space debugging, these core registers are not available.
+</p>
+<p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.arc.aux</samp>&rsquo; feature is required for all ARC targets. Here
+is the list of registers pertinent to this feature:
+</p>
+<ul class="no-bullet">
+<li>- mandatory: &lsquo;<samp>pc</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>status32</samp>&rsquo;.
+</li><li>- optional: &lsquo;<samp>lp_start</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>lp_end</samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp>bta</samp>&rsquo;.
+</li></ul>
