CMSIS DAP SUPPORT
The Eval board supports a CMSIS-DAP debug interface via an on-board mbed controller. The mbed HDK
supports CMSIS-DAP, which consists of an abstraction of the Cortex Debug Access Port (DAP) command set
over a driver-less USB HID connection. This provides a USB connection to the DAP that major tool vendors have
started to support. It even provides the flexibility for users to write their own debugger, or debug script using the
USB bindings in languages like Python.
A helpful link to get started on the mbed HDK is:
