From: Zbigniew Bodek <zbigniew.bodek@...>
By default, pyocd uses generic target type called "cortex_m" which
should be able to connect and debug but not flash the memory.
Normally pyocd would warn us of using default target instead
of proper one but this message wasn't displayed.
Despite not providing target type, flashing process succeeded
but results were undefined. On Nitrogen, sometimes it worked
(especially for small images) and sometimes the programmed
device crashed miserably.
Fix flashing operation by providing pyocd target type acquired from
the conditional PYOCD_TARGET variable declared for each machine
(chip family).
