Whenever I read the verbose logs I see *all* chips being probed, which is pretty fast already. Is there any point to "optimise"(?) this amount to "per size" ? Possibly followed by per-method?
sizes are pretty uninteresting... we were even discussing dropping its output in the "probing for" line.
it does not make sense to probe like we do currently. we resend the same commands over and over again and get back the same answer if everything works correctly; just to check if the answer matches the current chip to be probed... fixing this is on carl-daniel's roadmap, but i don't know any details yet.
Probably not worthwile, though it would reduce the verbose log by 75% Maybe also mirror the user's entered commandline in the log (minus the prompt/directory) to allow more eyes to check user's input
