   So that's the difference, thanks for the info, much appreciated. To sum   
   up SWD on the Raspberry Pi probe only good enough for rp2040s and   
   others with SWD.    
      
   What do you suggest I use on raspberrypi instead? It is indeed the boot   
   process I need to debug. It is working OK in Qemu 9.x but does not boot   
   on real rpi hardware, either rpi3 and rpi4.
