Now the documentation states we need this super speed A<->A cable, but
could you also update the documentation for usb-c ? There's a fair

Stupid beginners question: Would every USB3 A-A cable work, or are the
debug cables special? I've read the RX/TX pairs have to be swapped, but
to me it looks like that's always the case?

My understanding is that the 5v line is disconnected. Here's one cable I have:

https://designintools.intel.com/SVT_DCI_DbC2_3_A_to_A_Debug_Cable_1_Meter_p/itpdciamam1m.htm

I think they snip that line to prevent any chance of current flowing between devices. The cable isn't expensive, but I do remember being astounded at how much Intel charged itself for shipping it. ;)

That said, I've also used the same cable Peter has: just a cheap A-to-A cable I had lying around. It surely has VBUS connected, so I usually plumb it through a USB hub with a power switch. This surely isn't the "right" way to do it, but it does seem to work in some situations.
