Unable to program NXP MIMXRT1064CVL5A using Pylink - supported devices look-up problem about pylink

Ah, okay. I think I get it. Is your suggestion to treat the xs as wildcards, and then match them? E.g.

>>> re.findall(re.sub(r'x', '.', 'MIMXRT1064xxx5A'), 'MIMXRT1064CVL5A')
['MIMXRT1064CVL5A']

I think we'd have to be careful to make sure that we're converting only multiple occurrences of lowercase x, but I don't see why not. I'm not too much of a regex expert though to craft the appropriate substitution, but I welcome a patch if you want to take a stab at it.

Good afternoon. Attached is a document created with Libre Writer, detailing my investigation into the problem I described on GitHub. I have also attached a zipped text file that was generated by having the Python device search loop print out all of the supported device names emanating from Segger's list, so you can see the variation in device naming that can cause a simple equality test to fail. I will send you more information as I am able to discover, time permitting. Thanks for your hard work to create pylink. It is deeply appreciated. All the Best, Ron Madsen

Just a brief addendum - you are right about making sure that conversion only involves multiple occurrences of lower-case x. If Segger offers support for a device that has an x in its actual part number, my simple comparison function could detect a match when there really is not one. Thanks again. Ron Madsen
