Maybe a video that defines, explains, demonstrates using JTAG?
Might be too 'softwary' and not 'hardwary' enough for the channel?

@bozobigsky What is a JTAG?
First computer 1959. Retired from my own computer company 2004.

Major Languages - Machine language, 360 Macro Assembler, Intel Assembler, PL/I and PL1, Pascal, Basic, C plus numerous job control and scripting languages.
Sure you can learn to be a programmer, it will take the same amount of time for me to learn to be a Doctor.

Great idea, I have definitely been meaning to do this!

It's a standard that lets you debug software running on a device. There's a special socket, and you need an interface to do the translation between the board you are debugging and the computer running the debugger.
I haven't actually used it yet though so I may be way off.. 😉

@bozobigsky Sounds interesting, but I have yet to see any problem/bug on this forum that required more than a few serial prints or rarely a scope or logic analyzer.
HOWEVER, that does not mean others can't benefit and I may too, so I support both you and Bill in requesting some coverage of this tool. Maybe even cover it using the Arduino IDE as well as PlatformIO although I don't use it for a few reasons.
