Here's a neat trick for SWD/JTAG-debugging boards that use scary voltages, when you're afraid of toasting your computer: Some wonderful person on github has ported the #blackmagic firmware to those dirt cheap ESP8266 wifi modules (the cheaper old generation), so you can just plonk down an ESP-01 footprint and your target shows up on your wifi with a GDB remote exposed on a TCP port.
It's hacky as hell, but I got it to build for a stock 1MB flash module.
