FFP: Flash/FPGA Programmer

FFP is a dead-simple USB to bidirectional SPI bridge for programming iCE40 FPGAs and SPI flashes. The hardware is an STM32F042 and not much else. Firmware and host software is written in Rust.

The firmware additionally supports SWD via the CMSIS-DAP v1 and v2 protocols, so many debuggers such as probe-rs, OpenOCD, and pyOCD are able to use an FFP to debug and program Cortex-M and other microcontrollers.

Pinout

The FFP r1 hardware uses a 5x2 pin 0.05"-pitch connector, which is also commonly used for Cortex family microcontrollers for SWD and JTAG. The pinout is deliberately compatible (though note RESET is moved) to allow hardware reuse and for compatibility with tools such as TagConnect cables.

This is the same pinout used by amp_flashprog, a custom firmware for Black Magic Probes to bitbang SPI to the same ends.
