USB-based communication with Stellaris boards
Open-source and cross-platform (Linux/macOS)
Command-line interface for automation

Use Cases:

Flashing new firmware to TI Stellaris Launchpad boards
Updating bootloader or application code on embedded devices
Automating firmware deployment in development workflows

Alternatives:
