 ### 1. ARM GCC 工具链
 
 - **版本**：xpack-arm-none-eabi-gcc-11.3.1-1.1
-- **建议解压路径**：工程根目录下 `Toolchain/xpack-arm-none-eabi-gcc-11.3.1-1.1`
+- **安装位置**：每台电脑本机任意目录，工具包不放入工程仓库
 - **官方下载地址**：https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc-xpack/releases
-- **路径自定义**：
-  如需自定义工具链路径，修改 `cmake/arm-none-eabi-gcc.cmake` 中的 `_TOOLCHAIN_CANDIDATES` 列表，或通过 CMake 参数传入：
-  ```bash
-  cmake --preset Debug -DTOOLCHAIN_DIRECTORY=/your/path/bin
-  ```
+- **活动变量**：`GD32_GCC_BIN`，值为工具链的 `bin` 目录（也接受工具链根目录）
 
 ### 2. OpenOCD（调试/烧录）
 
 - **版本**：xpack-openocd-0.11.0-3
-- **建议解压路径**：任意位置（在 `.vscode/launch.json` 中配置路径）
+- **安装位置**：每台电脑本机任意目录，工具包不放入工程仓库
 - **获取地址**：https://github.com/burakenez/gd32-tools-xpack-openocd/tree/v0.11.0-3
-- **说明**：
-  - 本版本提取自 Embedded Builder V1.4.1.23782。
-  - ⚠️ 请勿随意更换版本，因 GD32 MCU 支持有限，推荐严格使用此版本。
-- **路径自定义**：
-  修改 `.vscode/launch.json` 中 `miDebuggerPath` 和 `serverpath` 指向你的 OpenOCD 路径。
+- **活动变量**：`GD32_OPENOCD_BIN`、`GD32_OPENOCD_SCRIPTS`
+- **版本说明**：GD32 支持依赖发行版补丁，优先使用已验证的 0.11.0-3；更换版本前应先单独验证目标芯片和调试器。
+
+OpenOCD 的 cfg 文件由工程自己的 `.vscode/settings.json` 指定，环境变量只提供 `scripts` 根目录。模板默认使用 `target/openocd_gdlink_gd32e23x.cfg`；其它芯片工程只需修改 `gd32.openocd.targetConfig`，例如 `target/openocd_gdlink_gd32f4xx.cfg`，不需要修改环境变量。
+
+cfg 必须可以直接启动完整会话，包含调试器 interface 和目标芯片配置；只有 `target/gd32e23x.cfg` 这种 target-only 文件不能单独启动调试会话。
+
+例如 CMSIS-DAP 的 wrapper cfg 可以写成：
+
+```tcl
+source [find interface/cmsis-dap.cfg]
+source [find target/gd32e23x.cfg]
+```
+
+每台开发电脑配置一次用户环境变量（路径按本机实际位置填写）：
+
+```powershell
+[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("GD32_GCC_BIN", "C:\toolchain\xpack-arm-none-eabi-gcc-11.3.1-1.1\bin", "User")
+[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("GD32_OPENOCD_BIN", "D:\Tools\xpack-openocd-0.11.0-3\bin", "User")
+[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("GD32_OPENOCD_SCRIPTS", "D:\Tools\xpack-openocd-0.11.0-3\scripts", "User")
+```
+
+重新打开 VSCode，使新环境变量进入 VSCode 进程。`.vscode` 中的编译、GDB、OpenOCD 任务只读取上述 `GD32_*` 变量；OpenOCD 的通用变量 `OPENOCD_SCRIPTS` 仅在任务/调试子进程中覆盖，因此不会继承 STM32Cube 或 ESP-IDF 的全局值。

+## 工具链切换
+
+环境变量只是字符串，不同变量指向同一个目录完全没有问题。建议给每套工具链保留一个有意义的变量名，再把其中一套设为活动变量：
+
+```powershell
+[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("GD32_GCC_XPACK11_BIN", "C:\toolchain\xpack-arm-none-eabi-gcc-11.3.1-1.1\bin", "User")
+[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("GD32_GCC_GNU12_BIN", "C:\toolchain\gcc-arm-none-eabi\bin", "User")
+
+# 当前使用 xPack GCC 11.3.1
+[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("GD32_GCC_BIN", "C:\toolchain\xpack-arm-none-eabi-gcc-11.3.1-1.1\bin", "User")
+# 切换到 GNU Arm GCC 12.3.1 时，把 GD32_GCC_BIN 改为对应路径
+[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("GD32_GCC_BIN", "C:\toolchain\gcc-arm-none-eabi\bin", "User")
+```
+
+切换后重新打开 VSCode，并对 Debug/Release 执行一次 `Delete Cache and Reconfigure`，因为 CMake 会把编译器绝对路径写入构建目录缓存。CMake 也支持临时覆盖环境变量：
+
+```powershell
+cmake --preset Debug -DGD32_GCC_ENV_VAR=GD32_MY_GCC_BIN
+cmake --preset Debug -DTOOLCHAIN_DIRECTORY="C:/toolchain/gcc-arm-none-eabi/bin"
+```
+
+工程变量统一使用 `GD32_` 前缀。`GD32_GCC_ENV_VAR` 只影响 CMake 配置；`.vscode` 的 GDB 路径仍使用规范变量 `GD32_GCC_BIN`，如采用自定义变量名，建议同时让 `GD32_GCC_BIN` 指向同一目录。GCC、GDB、`ar`、`ld`、`objcopy` 等 binutils 必须来自同一套发行版，不要混用不同版本的组件。
+
+### 环境要求清单
+
+- **必须配置的环境变量**
+
+  | 变量名 | 值 | 用途 |
+  |---|---|---|
+  | `GD32_GCC_BIN` | 活动 ARM GCC 的 `bin` 目录（或工具链根目录） | CMake 编译、GDB 调试、binutils |
+  | `GD32_OPENOCD_BIN` | 包含 `openocd.exe` 的 `bin` 目录 | OpenOCD 任务/调试 |
+  | `GD32_OPENOCD_SCRIPTS` | OpenOCD `scripts` 根目录 | `-s` 脚本搜索路径 |
+
+- **可选的环境变量**：为不同 GCC 版本分别建立 `GD32_GCC_XPACK11_BIN`、`GD32_GCC_GNU12_BIN` 等变量，需要切换时手动把选中的路径写入 `GD32_GCC_BIN`。`GD32_GCC_ENV_VAR` 仅在需要让 CMake 使用另一个 `GD32_*` 变量名时设置。
+- ARM GCC 必须是 `arm-none-eabi` 交叉工具链，变量指向工具链根目录或 `bin` 目录；`gcc`、`g++`、`gdb`、`ar`、`as`、`ld`、`objcopy`、`objdump`、`size`、`ranlib` 必须齐全。
+- 当前工程已验证 xPack GCC 11.3.1 和 GNU Arm GCC 12.3.1；链接脚本使用 GCC 11+ 支持的 `READONLY` 语法。更换更新版本仍需在目标板上验证编译、链接和调试。
+- OpenOCD 需要同时提供 `GD32_OPENOCD_BIN`、`GD32_OPENOCD_SCRIPTS`；任务会在 bin 目录下使用固定文件名 `openocd.exe`，每个工程在 `.vscode/settings.json` 中设置相对 `scripts` 根目录的 `gd32.openocd.targetConfig`，不依赖全局 `OPENOCD_SCRIPTS`。
+- CMake ≥ 3.20、Ninja、VSCode CMake Tools，以及 cortex-debug（使用 OpenOCD 调试时）必须已安装；J-Link 任务另需 `JLink.exe` 在 PATH 中。
+- J-Link 的 `device`、`interface`、`speed` 是工程属性，配置在 `.vscode/settings.json` 的 `gd32.jlink.*` 中；换 GD32F405 等芯片时只修改这些设置和对应的 OpenOCD target cfg。OpenOCD 的擦除命令同样通过 `gd32.openocd.massEraseCommand` 按芯片调整。
+- 环境变量建议写入用户级环境（`User`），设置后重启 VSCode；切换 GCC 后必须清理对应 Debug/Release 构建缓存。
