Pushed, thanks.

Can you think of an existing page where it would fit?

Honestly it would probably make sense to have an entire kbase
dedicated to firmware selection, with recommendations, best
practices, gotchas and so on. Maybe we could then include the
debugging steps as part of it?

Note that the current output, even with debugging enabled, is not
very easy to follow, so before suggesting that people go look at it I
would probably want to improve upon it.

Damn, I think you might just have nerd-sniped me into working on
this! Let me add it to my to-do list :D
