Hello!
Programming C, Emacs indents by inserting 4 spaces for each indent depth.
Now, surrendering to the rules of the OpenOCD project, indenting should be
done by inserting 1 tab instead of 4 spaces, where the tab width should be
set to 4.
How can I make Emacs indent using tabs, and possibly also changing the tab
width?

(setq-default indent-tabs-mode t)
(setq default-tab-width 4)
Or perhaps set these only for the mode you want (put in the mode hook):
(setq indent-tabs-mode t
tab-width 4)
The Emacs manual is your friend. Use `i' to look up keywords (such as `tab' and
`width') in the index.

There's a large section on interactive customization of C Mode
indentation in the CC Mode manual. I recommend to read it.
