Hi, I have spent a few days looking at this, and while the ICDI interface supports debugging and flashing firmware it maps poorly to a JTAG interface. Thus, it is...

I have spent quite some time looking at the st driver, trying to map the ICDI to it. The biggest issue is that there is no way to read AP...

Actually, it seems that the ICDI probe implements (a subset) of the GDB remote server protocol. https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Remote-Protocol.html#Remote-Protocol Perhaps a way forward would be to add GdbServer as a new type...

It's not gdb, just the protocol that gdb uses to communicate with remote debug servers. An architecture interface for ICDI would be an interface to a gdb remote debug target,...

@adamgreig I guess so. Interestingly, according to https://github.com/blacksphere/blackmagic/wiki the Blackmagic firmware can be flashed to the Stellaris ICDI, turning it into a Blackmagic probe.

I created pull request #746 with support for the ICDI probe. I have tested that upload/download and `cli info` works with an LM4F120 eval board.

Do you have any numbers on the improvement in startup-time from splitting the main file into launcher and a module?

Yes, moving away from Pickle is probably a good idea. The JSON module was only introduced in Python 2.6 however. I think we should at least aim for compatibility with...

My use case is a reusable buffer. The bytes are pushed into the buffer, and when the content is finalized it can be handed out as a &[u8]. The borrow...

I have swapped the order of creating the slice and setting the length to 0 now, as per your suggestion. An alternative name to leak might be "forget", but I...
