Hi,

Yes, I've seen your mail too late as I wasn't subscribed to the user
mailing list (and to be honest a separate user list seems to be a bad
idea in general).

Please see inline.

Your feedback is much appreciated.

Are you sure it's better in the long run to use a separately packaged
jimtcl rather than the specific version from the openocd sources? I'm
afraid I can see how it can cause issues, e.g. when OpenOCD might rely
on some JimTcl fix that wouldn't be officially released yet.

It's now called 99-openocd.rules, and yes, it's installed to
/usr/share/openocd/contrib by default. Do you know of a good way to
make autotools copy udev rules files in a distro-specific way?

Should be in src/jtag/drivers/OpenULINK/src, and it's GPLv2+

Hm, strange, dist_ulink_DATA = $(ULINK_FIRMWARE)/ulink_firmware.hex
should use an appropriate directory by default. Will take a look on
it, thanks.
