Description

When trying to launch the command
pyocd gdbserver --target=ATSAMC21J18A --pack=C:\\Users\\Username\\.mchp_packs\\Microchip\\SAMC21_DFP\\3.9.248
it fails with the error
C Error: 'CmsisPack' object has no attribute '_pack_file'

It works when I pass a path to the .pack file instead of the unzipped directory. However, looking at CmsisPack in .\target\pack\cmsis_pack.py it should work with the unzipped directory as well.

Link to the pack I used:
https://packs.download.microchip.com/Microchip.SAMC21_DFP.3.9.248.atpack

Research direction

Start in target/pack/cmsis_pack.py and reproduce the failure with the unzipped Microchip.SAMC21_DFP.3.9.248 directory passed to the pyocd gdbserver command. Compare that behavior with passing the .pack file and verify that the command works with the directory without the '_pack_file' attribute error.
