Thank you Markus for your reply. I will upgrade to testing and try a re-install of openocd. I tried ubuntu 17.1 but my nivdia graphics boards proved difficult with "tearing".

Many thanks,

Kevin.

Hey Kevin,

I'm running Debian Testing and use the stock openocd that comes with it. I use 
the newt tools from the runtimco apt repo. Everything seems to work well and I 
don't remember there being any issues with dependencies.

HTH,
Markus

Hi everyone, I have subscribed to the dev list today.

I have been working through the section "Installing the ARM Toolchain
For Linux" and have completed:

apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi

Next task: "Installing the OpenOCD Debugger"

I have installed:
https://github.com/runtimeco/openocd-binaries/raw/master/openocd-bin-0.10.0-Linux.tgz

which (in Debian 9.4) has problems with dependencies.

I tried to install openocd_0.10.0-4_amd64.deb but this also has
problems with dependencies:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   openocd : Depends: libjaylink0 but it is not installable
             Depends: libjim0.77 (>= 0.73) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I was able to resolve:

apt-get install libftdi1-2
apt-get install libhidapi-hidraw0

apt-get install libusb-0.1-4

but I am unable to resolve libjim0.77

Perhaps I should return to:
https://github.com/runtimeco/openocd-binaries/raw/master/openocd-bin-0.10.0-Linux.tgz

Has anyone installed this tar on Debian? What list of dependencies
did you use (with version numbers)?

Your help would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Kevin.
