+You do need to enable semihosting in OpenOCD from GDB first:
+``` console
+(gdb) monitor arm semihosting enable
+semihosting is enabled
+```
+
 QEMU understands semihosting operations so the above program will also work with
 `qemu-system-arm` without having to start a debug session. Note that you'll
 need to pass the `-semihosting-config` flag to QEMU to enable semihosting
