Hi Jeff,

As for gdbsim/openocd, I remember that we did have nds32 contributions previously:
   - gdb: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-07/msg00223.html
   - openocd: http://openocd.zylin.com/1259

I suppose they have recently been dropped from the current gdb/openocd repository
due to the lack of maintenance.  I will reach out to Andes members to inquire whether
the architecture is still considered to be available in gdb/openocd.

Regards,
jasonwucj
