Giving it a try - I expect I need to reboot, cos the same old
/dev/cu.usbmodem1411 shows up.

Segger have software that provides a gdb server (much like st-util for
STMicro).

You can get the EDU version of the Segger for UKP41 (& I think VAT). You
can get the Segger connector (which needs surgery to fit the Due,
because one of the pins is blanked) for UKP70!!! but there's an Olimex
one for UKP6 or so.

The EDU version is licensed to be used only for non-commercial purposes,
which suits me of course.
