fully agree! > Now OpenOCD does not have a official Windows binary and > that is why Freddie Choppin's binary download is popular. and this is why I decided to create an even more convenient binary, packed as a setup. this is an important detail, since the setup will write some keys in the Registry, and the GNU ARM Eclipse OpenOCD plug-in will read them, to automatically configure the path to the OpenOCD install folder, wherever the user decided to put it. > The talk of MSYS2 is missing the point for Windows users > of OpenOCD. That is geared toward Windows developer > or packager of OpenOCD, not the end users of OpenOCD. fully agree. users are very unhappy if asked to install something like MSYS2/CygWin/etc, just to run a simple application. even more, they would be very happy if OpenOCD would be packed together with the development tools they use (GNU ARM Eclipse in my case), but this is another story. regards, Liviu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
