    This project looks extremely interesting to me! It would be great if it would work out-of-the box at one point. What is the state of upstream integration for the different projects involved? Are you actively working on this or are you looking for people to do that for you?

      Hello Michael, thanks for your interest in the stm8-gdb project.

      I'm working actively to improve the debuging information in sdcc. It already have dwarf debugging tables but it needs some work. I hope it will be ready for the next sdcc release.

      For openocd I made an effort to get the new stm8 target comitted. It did get some attention in the beginning. How ever after I submitted the code for review a few times it was downvoted because of "unpretty coding". Basically it didn't matter what I did, after fixing the issues the reviewers pointed out other flaws (which in my oppinion was not). So perhaps I give it another try but really.... I don't know if I want to.

      For binutils-gbd I have not had the intentions to submit it upstream and even if I did I don't think it will make it. It's probably too small public interest for it to happen.

      With all this said, people that does have an interest should bug the project people for example openocd to get it comitted.

    Great work.

    Just to note - checked out latest version of openocd and patches are in.

    Cheers,

    Martin.
