Dear @arehnman, hello everyone,

first of all, thanks for sharing this great project!

After playing a bit with stm8-gdb and OpenOCD I managed to debug an STM8L101 target. It was fun but as a total newbie I had to navigate a few rough spots, especially in OpenOCD (maybe I just goofed but so did others) and adding some of my findings to the docs might help:

  • OpenOCD interface config
  • new targets, e.g. STM8L Low Density
  • capabilities/limitations of the STM8 DM

As it makes little sense to propose changes without first discussing them with the community, especially in this twin project OpenOCD - stm8 binutils-gdb, advice on how, and what, to contribute would be welcome.
