Unified Debugging -- "Unsupported" Cortex-M4 Possible?

Advanced Solutions Debugging
1

I’m starting to look at ARM Cortex-M0+/M4 alternatives and am somewhat puzzled as to why, for example, the MAX32625PICO board is listed as “Debug: No” for platformio.

As the board has lands for the SWD signals both on the edge, as well as lands for a “standard” Cortex Debug Connector, I would think that connecting a Black Ice Magic debugger, especially as it “talks” GDB, would be possible.

What am I missing in my thinking on this?

What is it? Could you give a link? There is no free debug server for Maxim boards. pyOCD only supports MAX32600.

Forgive me, Black Magic debugger:

Reading Tips for Cortex M Target Implementors · blackmagic-debug/blackmagic Wiki · GitHub now as it doesn’t appear that there isn’t a target defined for any Maxim boards, as you indicated.

Black Magic Probe does not support Maxim boards :frowning:
