Using CMSIS DAP interface to program multiple targets without a PC?

Is there a way to copy the hex file over to the CMSIS DAP hardware, and have it stay there permanently so that you can use the interface to program multiple targets without needing a PC?

So basically, you load the hex to the CMSIS DAP interface just once, then you can connect the interface to the target, press a button and have it program the target, then move on to the next target. Like a portable flasher of some sort.

Crazy suggestion,

use an MBED, as USB HOST, and copy your .BIN file (from local file system)

to the CMSIS DAP device ??

alturanatly, some where in the dusty corners of my memory, there is (was) an FTDI host device,

something like Vinculum ?????

which one of the 'apps' was to copy the photos from your digital camera, to a portable HDD.

The current mbed CMSIS-DAP interfaces are SWD programmers without local memory. The original LPC1768 mbeds do have local flash and could in theory program multiple devices. You could try to modify one of the projects to use an mbed as programmer. See here and search site for more examples.
