Request: command line argument to open board directly

[fstengel]

Being a lazy person :sweat_smile: I wonder if it would not be possible to use mpfshellas follows:

mpfshell --open tty.SLAB_USBtoUART

or (even quicker)

mpfshell tty.SLAB_USBtoUART

instead of:

mpfshell
mpfs [/]> open tty.SLAB_USBtoUART

That way, one could use the shell's history to connect to the board: I tend to forget what tty.* my board is connected to... :flushed:

See relevant pull request (#35)...

Why don't you just do: mpfshell -c "open tty.SLAB_USBtoUART"

[fstengel]

Indeed. However, being lazy, mpfshell -c "open ..." seems a bit less efficient than mpfshell ... Furthermore, I don't quite see the point in not opening the connection to the board as soon as one interactively uses mpfshell.

+1 for using open anyway always as first command -> maybe specifying only one parameter should directly connect to that

Though, maybe this becomes strange when you deal with several boards in one mpfshell script.

[fstengel]

Very good point. Up until now, I would have thought that to access more than one board one would have to open them using one instance of mpfshell per board.
