### Can't flash the device - "Ignoring packet error, continuing..."
#### Symptoms
While flashing the device, you get:
```
$ arm-none-eabi-gdb $file
Start address 0x8000194, load size 31588
Transfer rate: 22 KB/sec, 5264 bytes/write.
Ignoring packet error, continuing...
Ignoring packet error, continuing...
```
#### Cause
Closed `itmdump` while a program that "printed" to the ITM was running. The
current GDB session will appear to work normally, just without ITM output but
the next GDB session will error with the message that was shown in the previous
section.
Or, `itmdump` was called **after** the `monitor tpiu` was issued thus making
`itmdump` delete the file / named-pipe that OpenOCD was writing to.
#### Fix
- Close/kill GDB, OpenOCD and `itmdump`
- Remove the file / named-pipe that `itmdump` was using (for example,
`itm.txt`).
- Launch OpenOCD
- Then, launch `itmdump`
- Then, launch the GDB session that executes the `monitor tpiu` command.

Dealing with microcontrollers involves several tools as we'll be dealing with an architecture
different than your laptop's and we'll have to run and debug programs on a "remote" device.
