@section Target Config/Cget Options
These options can be specified when the target is created, or later
via the configure option or to query the target via cget.

You should specify a working area if you can; typically it uses some
on-chip SRAM. Such a working area can speed up many things, including bulk
writes to target memory; flash operations like checking to see if memory needs
to be erased; GDB memory checksumming; and may help perform otherwise
unavailable operations (like some coprocessor operations on ARM7/9 systems).

@* The target# is a the 0 based target numerical index.

This command specifies a working area for the debugger to use. This
may be used to speed-up downloads to target memory and flash
operations, or to perform otherwise unavailable operations (some
coprocessor operations on ARM7/9 systems, for example). The last
parameter decides whether the memory should be preserved
(<@var{backup}>) or can simply be overwritten (<@var{nobackup}>). If
possible, use a working_area that doesn't need to be backed up, as
performing a backup slows down operation.
