I'm guessing it does as it mentions JTAG, which the Oli does have, but it's SWD. </p> <p>I was thinking that it would work over USB, but I see now that would be impossible.

I assume this might mean I'd only need one JTAG/SWD hardware device for a bunch of different manufacturers hardware.</p> <p>AFAIK its hardware and firmware is Open Source too.

Does it support single stepping and such? On the scale of 1-10 how easy is it to setup and use? I'm not a fan of £@£%&amp; windows (any more), so, for me at least, it needs to be pretty painless to persuade me to switch back.
