It is here already, at least in ESP32 family, probably needs to be implemented for STM32. Also ESP32 has esptool that covers almost all configurations.. while different flashing configurations may be used for STM32 (i.e. openocd vs dfu).. but it it still possible :-) > I also hate to say that - but if you are commited to cmake (ugh) it might > be good idea to drop raw Makefile support.

The make flash part could use flags to select DFU or OpenOCD tool :-) ps/2: Thanks Michal for the hint on how to flash STM32F3 with OpenOCD! I have crerated PR with documentation update. If you have other hints just let us know and we will update the documentation :-) -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
