probe-rs

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to use probe-rs run as a terminal to the device using the RTT down channel.

Describe alternatives you've considered I considered using something else than RTT and would understand if that's what you would suggest.

You could use cargo-embed for this :) probe-run cannot really do this because afaik cargo runners cannot take input :)

I don't use probe-run but probe-rs run, but maybe that's what you meant. And I don't use a cargo runner, I call probe-rs run directly on the command line. So reading from standard input should not be a problem.

I don't think this works for me. I'm building the binary myself (because I need precise control using cargo rustc). I just want something to flash and connect to the defmt debug output. And now I'd like it also to connect to the debug input.

Also I don't like how cargo-embed can only be configured by a file. My configuration is dynamic so building a command line on the fly matches much better my workflow. If I want to specify all possible combinations of configurations using cargo-embed "configs" it would not be maintenable and the file would be huge. It would also restrain to anything that can be anticipated only.

Sorry for the late response! Yeah, I meant probe-rs run, was typing this up in a hurry on my phone while travelling ...

I am happy to have this functionality in probe-rs run. How it would look exactly, I am not sure. Maybe we can have a flag that enables it. Or maybe cargo actually supports this natively. Would be worth a try!
