Pflash is a simple yet powerful command-line tool you can use to flash devices based on the Phoenix RTOS system.
Unlike low-level tools that work underneath, it doesn't require you
to closely monitor the flashing process. It automatically gathers information
from project files like nvm.yaml and the configuration file ~/.config/pflash/config.json.
If something goes wrong, Pflash tries to exit gracefully with an informative error message. It also has a dry-run mode that prints out the raw shell commands you can run yourself.

- my Python skills are not very advanced, so I focused on isolating abstractions and making this tool attractive to use and co-create, there are certainly some Pythonic improvements to be made
- fix the function that enters the target into PLO if it discovers that the target is in the system (its buggy, I dont use it often)
- add flash-via-PLO (using 2 serial connections)
- consider adding flash-via-ethernet or other functionalities like for example flash-single-program functionality in the future
- add a changelog and version information to the program
- distribute the program with Pip
