Nifty! I recently bought a RISC-V VisionFive 2 Lite SBC, which required a lot of mucking with firmware and talking to the U-Boot serial console before it would boot Linux for the first time. A tool like this would have been super-handy during that time.
On the other hand, I'm a low-budget hobby user. I like things that are cheap, easy, and hackable. It sounds like your product might be for more-advanced users? Or do all these fancy features stay tucked away until you need them? If you make your product cheaply, that might hurt profit margins, but it might also open up the low-end market. I have so many questions about the business side of this.
But really, I am most curious about the user experience. It's not super-helpful if learning the tool becomes its own project, so I'm hoping it's simple.
Edit: Oh, it's a software project. I thought it was a hardware project. My bad.
