Have you ever wanted to debug your device over USB-C? Sometimes there's not enough room for a JTAG/SWD connector, or even TAGConnect pads! The USB-C specification has a Debug Accessory Mode feature that allows for this. I have a Twitter thread with additional details. Here's an unrolled version for easier reading.
