** [tickets:#328] Support GD32E50x chips**

**Status:** new
**Milestone:** 0.11.0
**Labels:** gigadevice gd32 gd32e50x 
**Created:** Wed Dec 22, 2021 11:58 PM UTC by Maximilian Gerhardt

In recent commits, such as 
[this](https://github.com/openocd-org/openocd/commit/64a3e7ba4f47c5340543d9a5cadd41bc45d93c93)
 or 
[this](https://github.com/openocd-org/openocd/commit/5a0b4889d0d46639b38effd24102f0d5fca1ca31),
 support for microcontrollers made by Gigadevice was expanded (GD32F1x0, 
GD32F3x0, GD32E23x). 

GigaDevice also manufacture the 
[GD32E50x](http://gd32mcu.com/en/download?kw=GD32E5) line of chips, which 
contain a Cortex-M33 core. I've bought a [GD32E350C-START 
board](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003224840104.html) containing an 
GD32E503CET6 microcontroller. 

However, OpenOCD has no flashing support for this microcontroller. I've tried 
various configurations such as the `stm32f4` or `gd32e23x`. The closest one to 
nearly working seems the latter, which does

```

The only tool capable of flashing is the [vendor GD-Link Programmer 
tool](http://gd32mcu.com/en/download?kw=GigaDevice+GD-Link+Programmer)

Please add GD32E50x support to OpenOCD, or let me know what other 
configurations I can use. I'd happy to contribute in any way.

(Note: While GigaDevice has an [openocd 
fork](https://github.com/GigaDevice-Semiconductor/openocd), it does not contain 
support for GD32E50x.)
