Robert, and then when you will manage your JTAG BDI config file and the
gears will become to spin I would suggest you to prepare an Expect
script for the BDI telnet prompt to automate things, add a rule in your
makefile and all things will become so simple as to type "make prog".
The link the below is just for a reference, what's possible to get using
Expect (it is just a demo)

if you again and again enter commands on any prompt, such a job is the
job for Expect. I use Expect too, but, with another programmer.
