# PYSWD

Is a python module for debugging microcontrollers with SWD using ST-Link/V2 (/V2-1) or V3 debugger.

This package also contain small command line tool.

## Goal

Is to create python module for access debugging interface on MCU with SWD interface.

Main purpose of python module is to create automated functional and hardware tests from simple python scripts and without special firmware for microcontroller.

## Compatibility

### OS
PYSWD will work on Linux, Mac and Windows.
### Python
Python 3.7+
### Dependencies
- [pyusb](https://github.com/walac/pyusb) - prefer latest version from github, especially on Windows platgorm
- [libusb](https://github.com/libusb/libusb)
