At work we use J-Link probes to load code directly into the internal ram of ARM microcontrollers via JTAG / SWD.

We can also write to an external boot flash by loading a small program in ram that receives data via SWD and manages the erase / write sequence over SPI.

It's fast, but the JLink software is proprietary and their USB dongle is ridiculously overpriced.

If there's anything better, I would like to know.

By the way, today I was able to read and write back a 16MByte QSPI flash using the CH341A.

It worked, but it was extremely slow. I think this programmer only supports single lane SPI.
