^ First Page Entry 2021 Q1
On the Linux side, openocd set up on Debian type distros follows more or less the 2021 Q1 'getting started' instructions for the toolchain needed by Oresat firmware developers. There were some small differences getting full working cross-compiling and debugging toolchain installed on an Ubuntu 20.04 LTS system, to be documented here soon. One of the more difficult pieces was to obtain a version of arm-none-eabi-gcc which did not produce warnings about a known bug with ticket in the 86000 range.
Alternately on Windows 10 hosts, a similar toolchain can be installed via the following steps, and not strictly in the order of these steps:
- install 'Git for Windows', provides 'gitbash'
- install arm-none-eabi-gcc toolchain
( https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads )
- install chocolatey package manager for Windows
- install GNU 'make' for Windows ( https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/make )
- install openocd
Key download sites include:

This short notes page a work in progress and more to come.

^ Openocd and Multiple Programmers
Looks like a very good, short tutorial and article on how to specify to openocd the serial number of a specific STLINK programmer, when two or more are attached to a given server:
guest@localhost:/dev/serial/by-id$ ls -l total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jul 21 00:43 usb-STMicroelectronics_STM32_STLink_066CFF343334434257144338-if02 -> ../../ttyACM0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jul 21 00:50 usb-STMicroelectronics_STM32_STLink_066FFF535455886687124209-if02 -> ../../ttyACM1 guest@localhost:/dev/serial/by-id$
