Good know that it worked :)

It's just that there's a missing command in the openocd configuration to force 
a reset when connecting openocd to the CPU. If that's not done, the connection 
could fail if the CPU is in deep sleep or crashed.

This is documented in the OpenOCD manual [1] (search connect_assert_srst [2]), 
but then you have to also know how things are wired in the RIOT build system, 
and this is not documented.

[2] The connect_type tokens control flags that describe some cases where SRST 
is asserted while connecting to the target. srst_nogate is required to use this 
option. connect_deassert_srst (default) indicates that SRST will not be 
asserted while connecting to the target. Its converse is connect_assert_srst, 
indicating that SRST will be asserted before any target connection. Only some 
targets support this feature, STM32 and STR9 are examples. This feature is 
useful if you are unable to connect to your target due to incorrect options 
byte config or illegal program execution.
