Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The EMBA container is started with the --rm option. In a typical test case this makes sense as no normal user will need these logs. Nevertheless, in some cases it could be useful to have these logs for debugging.

Describe the solution you'd like As the strict mode is a debugging mode we could change the behavior just with strict mode enabled to store the complete docker log into the log directory of the firmware analysis.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the EMBA script where the Docker container is started with ` rm` and modify it to conditionally omit ` rm` when strict mode is active, redirecting logs to the firmware log directory.
