The next generation boards are going to include other parts than just the MCU that support JTAG and none of them have SWD. That pretty much means we need all JTAG pins. From what I’ve understood, the SWD and JTAG are pretty much the same from semantic point of view, but their signaling at "lower layers" are different. I think they have 1:1 mapping, so supporting both should not be too hard. Regarding the matter of different programmers and which to support, I’m of the opinion that the more the merrier. - t
