Hi Marti:

Thanks for your help.

Sure thing!

I had stopped using the zephyr-sdk because I was bisecting the kernel to find a problem, depending on where I was I needed 0.10.0, 0.10.1, 0.10.2 or 0.10.3 versions of the SDK to compile, however when I was using gnuarmemb it worked around this annoyance for me.

I removed openocd (and autoremoved the assorted packages) and installed SDK 0.10.3 into /opt/zephyr-sdk. I also set 'export ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR=/opt/zephyr-sdk' in my bashrc and started a new shell. Quick check and openocd is gone from my path.

The west build went cleanly, and now I have a new error from openocd:

^^ judging from this, my guess is you need some udev rules to make the
USB device accessible to your user.

This is 'better' than the missing files, but I still haven't successfully flashed the blinky program onto the Nucleo board. Anything else I missed?

Of course I got complaints about OPENOCD-MISSING, OK, I can fix that:
sudo apt-get install openocd

It's not always wise to trust in your distro's openocd. It has been hard to get support patches merged into upstream openocd, so the downstream version in the Zephyr SDK is usually the right one to use.

Obviously I am doing something silly wrong. Can anyone give me a hint?
Thanks

Use the openocd in the Zephyr SDK. You can do this even if you're not using the Zephyr SDK's toolchain -- as long as ZEPHYR_SDK_INSTALL_DIR points at a Zephyr SDK install, the build system will use its host tools (like openocd) even if ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT != zephyr.
