Tcl is added using The Jim Interpreter. Jim is an opensource small-footprint implementation of the Tcl programming language. It implements a large subset of Tcl and adds new features like references with garbage collection, closures, built-in Object Oriented Programming system, Functional Programming commands, first-class arrays and UTF-8 support.

You should add depends on here for the config enabling setjmp support if that's a requirement as you mentioned

Impact
Build should be straightforward, just enable the application inside the "Interpreters" section of the configuration. You need to make sure you have
setjmpsupport, so consider enabling it in "Build Setup" -> "Customize Header Files".Testing
Tested on master, with a minimal custom board with a STM32H5. Planning to test on a nucleo as soon as I can get one.
