If there is a GDB remote interface it should be easy.

I have found a way to make it work. However, to get a not too bad
reliability(1), the external process has to be launched for each debug
session.
Is there a way to launch an external executable (.exe, .bat) from GPS ?

(1) GPS locks very often and needs to be killed and restarted when
something goes wrong while debugging. When using PyOCD, you also have to
kill the gdb server and the associated python script.

The support for pyocd/openocd/st-util is implemented in share/gps/support/ui/board_support.py, you can modify it to add PEmicro.

Thanks for the pointer.

I successfully modified share\gps\support\core\projects.py to add
"pe_micro" in the drop down list.

Modifying board_support.py is not so easy.
I'm stuck with an error I don't understand.
When selecting "pe_micro" and closing the configuration dialog box, I
get the following exception :
