All I'm looking for is to just somehow set up a GDB server for the NUCELO-H7S3L8 so I can do some debugging. My other board (NUCLEO-L476RG) worked fine using openocd, but my H7 has decided to siphon my precious humanity by being insanely difficult. I tried to use ST-LINK_gdbserver because I assume this is what CubeIDE uses under the hood. In fact, I can create a basic blinking program for the H7, compile it, upload it, and debug it all in CubeIDE just fine, but this is just not my preferred style of development. But CubeIDE apparently has some sort of magical incantation that my lowly existence doesn't know about in order to get ST-LINK_gdbserver to actually connect to the H7 target.

This is obviously not a connection issue, because once again: it works in CubeIDE.
Am I stuck in purgatory? What's going on? Again, all I want to do is just set up a debugging session; I frankly don't even care about ST-LINK_gdbserver...
