About:
probe-rs-tools is a set of command-line utilities for on-chip debugging and flashing of embedded microcontroller targets. It provides robust support for ARM and RISC-V architectures via common debug probes like J-Link and ST-Link. Its main value proposition is offering a modern, fast, and reliable alternative to vendor-specific closed-source toolchains.
Key Features:
  • High-speed memory reading and writing
  • Flashing firmware to various microcontrollers
  • Real-time monitoring and breakpoints
  • Support for multiple debug probe vendors
Use Cases:
  • Flashing compiled firmware binaries onto embedded devices
  • Debugging running applications on microcontrollers without halting
  • Automating hardware testing in CI/CD pipelines
Alternatives:
  • openocd – OpenOCD is the standard open-source alternative, though probe-rs is often cited as being faster and easier to configure.
  • pyOCD – Python-based alternative; probe-rs is generally preferred for its Rust-based performance and memory safety.
