Research direction
Start by reproducing the connection failure on the LPC860 with pyOCD 0.34.3 on Windows 10, using the reported pre-reset option, and compare the result with the MDK pre-reset behavior. Done means pyOCD connects to the sleeping target and discovers its cores instead of reporting "No cores discovered".
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Our device LPC860 entered sleep mode.
Normally pyocd cannot connect to target and report error No cores discovered.
If adding option -M pre-reset, pyocd still cannot connect to device.
But MDK can do with pre-reset settings.
