I ended up going with the Raspberry Pi debug probe:
https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/microcontrollers/debug-pro=
be.html
If I remember correctly, it=E2=80=99s a pl2303 inside. I mostly got this=
model for the connectors and laziness.
Jeff Geerling mentions some of the other options at https://www.jeffgeer=
ling.com/blog/2023/testing-raspberry-pis-new-debug-probe
If I were doing it again, I=E2=80=99d probably get the Black Magic Probe=
which also supports JTAG https://www.adafruit.com/product/3839
