Description

Hello,

I'd like to attach to an existing session from pylink, instead of opening new connection the same way the JLink RTT Viewer does.

The open() and connect() APIs don't seem to have support for this.
I have also read through JLink docs and I can't find API to call as well.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing open() and connect() APIs and the J-Link documentation for session attachment. The issue does not name files or tests; done would mean pylink can attach to an existing session in the same way as J-Link RTT Viewer.
