Research direction

Review the STM32H5 and other recent-device support in this fork, then compare it with official OpenOCD to determine what upstreaming would require. If upstreaming is not feasible, inspect the proposed GitHub Actions build path and Releases workflow; done means either the support is upstreamed or binaries are published for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Description

Hello!

You have lots of changes and support for new devices in your OpenOCD fork that are not yet included in the official OpenOCD repository. For example, STM32H5 support and other recent STM32 series are only available in the fork.

With the OpenOCD 1.0 release approaching, it would be very valuable if these changes could be upstreamed.

If upstreaming is not possible in the short term, could you please provide pre-built binaries of your forked OpenOCD for Windows, Linux, and macOS so that the community can use the new device support more easily? This could be relatively straightforward to implement using GitHub Actions for building, and the resulting binaries could be published via the repository’s Releases.

Thank you for the great work you have done so far!
