Hi all,
I found that after manually setting hardware breakpoints 'flash write_image'
and 'verify_image' commands fail if there are no more hardware breakpoints
available.
I think they should be removed before command execution and then restored.

Another question, about 'working_area'.
By default scripts (at least str9comstick.cfg) point at the beginning of
SRAM.
For this reason it is not very clear what 'working_area' is (unless you read
the documentation...) and one can believe (me, for example...) it is the
beginning of internal SRAM.
If you load an application into the RAM at the same address (normally at the
beginning of SRAM) using 'load-image' there is no check of this conflict and
the load_image algorithm will overwrite itself while running.
Similar problem can happen if you are stepping an application (loaded in
flash) and you want to load an image (data for debugging purpose) into the
RAM at a known free address and then resume the application.
The beginning of the RAM will be overwritten by the algorithm code so some
variable of your running application is now dirty (registers too?).
In this case you can use the 'backup' option of 'working_area' command but
it is not in the default script (should it be?) nor a warning is given to
the user.
The problem is evident only with 'dcc_downloads' enabled.
