OpenOCD on RaspberryPi broken

What kind of issue is this?

• PlatformIO Core. If you’ve found a bug, please provide an information below.

Configuration

Operating system: Raspbian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)

PlatformIO Version (platformio --version): PlatformIO, version 3.6.7

Description of problem

The installation of the OpenOCD-Tool (tool-openocd @ 2.1000.190420) seems to be broken and compared to my Desktop (Linux Mint 19) a little older (tool-openocd @ 2.1000.190422). PlatformIO Versions are the same.

On the RaspberryPi OpenOCD fails to open a Connection to my STM32 NucleoF411RE Board due to missing Board-Config Files. Actually the Files are present, but not in the directory that OpenOCD looks for them.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install PlatformIO

2. Connect Nucleo-Board to RaspberryPi

3. Build and Upload

4. Run OpenOCD standalone from inside .platformio/packages/tool-openocd/: bin/openocd -d -f scripts/board/st_nucleo_f4.cfg

Actual Results

After Step 3 OpenOCD Fails with following output:

Open On-Chip Debugger 0.10.0+dev-00796-ga4ac561 (2019-04-20-17:09)

at file "embedded:startup.tcl", line 56
at file "/home/pi/.platformio/packages/tool-openocd/scripts/board/st_nucleo_f4.cfg", line 7
*** [upload] Error 1

If OpenOCD is called standalone with any given Board.cfg File in Verbose-Mode like in Step 4 it prints out the following lines:

Expected Results

Expected result was that the firmware is beeing uploaded without errors.

If problems with PlatformIO Build System:

The content of platformio.ini:

[env:nucleo_f411re]
platform = ststm32
board = nucleo_f411re
framework = arduino

Source file to reproduce issue:

#include <Arduino.h>

void setup()
{
    pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
    digitalToggle(LED_BUILTIN);
    delay(200);
}

Additional info

All installed OpenOCD-Scripts can be found under .platformio/packages/tool-openocd/scripts/ Only OpenOCD isn’t configured to look for them there as you can see from Debug-Output 18 to 20.

I also have a workaround running for me. I added the directory .platformio/packages/tool-openocd/share/openocd and created a Sym-Link in it to the scripts-directory:

.platformio/packages/tool-openocd/share/openocd/ $ ls -la
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi 4096 May 29 16:53 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 pi pi 4096 Jun  3 10:56 ..
lrwxrwxr-x 1 pi pi   14 May 29 16:53 scripts -> ../../scripts/

With this Link the Script-Search in Debug-Line 20 does not fail and all Configurtions are loaded correctly and the firmware is uploaded.

Works on all my machines now 😃 Thanks!
