A bit like the Holy Build Box approach mentioned earlier (https://github.com/phusion/holy-build-box).

When I'm "experimenting with a build" this is what I do: I connect the microcontroller and the probe. Then I start OpenOCD and feed it with the right config files. If OpenOCD connects to the chip and is able to flash a firmware, I consider the experiment to be successful. So for this kind of "experiments", a "production binary" is perfectly fine. I don't need a "debug binary".

I suppose your > instructions to build the OpenOCD xPack will run smoothly in Ubuntu? Yes. The scripts have lots of configuration environment variables, if you want to build a more recent version, you need to tweak them. There is also a script to build native binaries, intended for debug sessions, but I'm not sure you can generate Windows binaries. However please note that the scripts are not specific for generating production binaries, which have certain requirements, and are less suitable for experimenting with builds. After playing with the scripts you'll probably prefer to use the already made binaries. FYI, I plan for a new release shortly. Regards, Liviu
