Description
When you use Tockloader to install an application or kernel on a Microbit_v2, you must also manually press the reset button afterwards to make the app start. It's not really a bug, but it seems undesirable to me.
So my question: do other boards automatically restart after flashing?
This is solved by adding the flag --openocd-options resume, although that restarts the running application many times, not just once after finishing the program upload. Should that flag be added as a default for the Microbit_v2?

Research direction
Begin with Tockloader's Microbit_v2 flashing path and the handling of --openocd-options resume; compare whether other boards restart after flashing. Done means the expected post-flash reset behavior is decided and implemented consistently, with the repeated-restart concern addressed.
