I would like draw attention to this many times repeated misconception that all OpenOCD users are developers, which is definitely not true. Company I work for sells development tools including MCU/FLASH programmers. The praxis shows that significant part of the users ouf such products are amateurs, who just build a circuitry published on the Internet or in a magazine and all the are willing to do is to feed binary image of firmware into the device. They just download it and use a tool to flash it. And with no offense, some of these people are "dummies" when speaking about programming/development - there are many of them. OpenOCD is a solution which (with proper script) may be used for programming firmware into a device by a non-developer. I may also be used for production purposes this way. From this point of view the assupmtion that OpenOCD user == developer is simply wrong, this would exclude certain hobbists.
