ACTION just installed Swdcom on Nixos, so now I have my Mecrisp-Stellaris swd terminal back again :)

2025-08-15 02:25:55 <tpnix       > it's a Forth terminal that connects to the mcu via SWD, no usart needed

2025-08-15 02:26:32 <tpnix       > it's also very fast, around 1Mbaud
2025-08-15 02:27:53 <tpnix       > because if the 512 char bufferm it can also print up to 512 chrs to the terminal in a couple of cpu clock cycles so 'printf' type debugging has no penality at all

2025-08-15 08:28:29 <tpnix       > yeah, I can imagine. Sadly it's always that way wether with Forth or C or whatever if the data is coming via a peripheral such as a USART

2025-08-15 08:29:53 <tpnix       > I saw that Segger offer a similar facility (printf over swd) with their very expensive products, but I get the same for free with Mecrisp-Stellaris and swdcom
