I did git clone Monday afternoon and

It would appear that DMINFO\_ABUSSIZE is defined as signed and is also negative.

Would you entertain a patch? (It probably would take me longer and likely not to standard) but I would enjoy giving it a try.

Thank you so much.

I thought making it unsigned would work - but I had not found it yet.

Thanks for helping report the issue. The freedom-e-sdk master is now pointing to the corrected version of OpenOCD.
