The driver uses a signal abstraction to enable Tcl configuration files to
define outputs for one or several FTDI GPIO. These outputs can then be

To support SWD, a signal named SWD_EN must be defined. It is set to 1 when the
SWD protocol is selected. When set, the adapter should route the SWDIO pin to
