Description

Now that the following patch has been integrated into the mainline OpenOCD: http://openocd.zylin.com/#/c/3510/

I think we can switch to the GNU ARM Eclipse version of OpenOCD. We just need to repackage the archives into a format the Arduino IDE expects: https://github.com/gnuarmeclipse/openocd/releases

As well as modify the tcl/target/nrf52.cfg file or use a local config version stored in the repo: http://openocd.zylin.com/#/c/3399/

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the integrated OpenOCD patch and the GNU ARM Eclipse release packaging. Then adapt the archive format and modify the nrf52.cfg config file as referenced.
