-- gerrit commit bc7f713d39fd14996ce8fb4bf5c507e3483dc66f Author: Paul Fertser <[email protected]> Date: Tue Jan 27 17:56:28 2015 +0300 README.Windows: recommend MSYS2 as the preferred method Thanks to Andrew Leech and Ray Donnelly OpenOCD is now part of the official MSYS2 repository. The only issue known so far is that there is no PKGBUILD available for libftdi, but it should be trivial to prepare one. Please volunteer.
