There are cheap clones of simple CMSIS-DAP interfaces from China.

They support ARM SWD and UART I/O when they actually work which is a rare occurrence. I gave up with it now.

They are unable to reset the target which may be a problem when the target is in sleep mode.

These devices may not work on some unpowered hubs since they demand 500mA current.

NB Always wire the ground wire even if you think you do not need to.
