Black Magic Probe Specific Configuration

BMPGDBSerialPort

This works not only for the USB serial port presented by the "classic" BMP, but also for a BMP built on an ESP32 WiFi platform.

It turns out that while the option contains the name "SerialPort" the script is just passing this into a GDB launch as an argument.

This can also be the hostname and port offered by the ESP32 server, which is configured as a DHCP client hostname=espressif, gdb port=2345 on my home LAN. clone
