Stable Release V1.8.1

We are happy to announce the V1.8.1 bugfix point release of Black Magic Debug.

In this release

  • Fixed HOSTED_BMP_ONLY build of Black Magic Debug App (BMDA) [Qyriad]

  • Fixed GDB protocol sscanf formatting pattern that was, among others, breaking breakpoints [dragonmux]

  • Fixed a watchpoint handling issue and a register sanity check [aksdfauytv]

  • Fixed CH32F probe routine so it does not overwrite the MCU ID code.

  • Fixed an issue where Kinetis parts that write Flash 8 bytes at a time could get bricked. (affected parts: S32K and K64) [dragonmux]

  • Fixed “reading old ADC values” issue on Black Magic Probe (BMP aka. native) V2.3 hardware. [esden]

  • Fixed flash memory write buffer lifetimes to decrease the probability of running out of heap. [dragonmux]

  • Fixed an issue where mass_erase command on STM32F4 was returning a Failed result in most cases. [esden]

You can download pre-built firmware binaries from the GitHub release page. If you are downloading the sources archive, make sure to download the full-sources archives, otherwise you will not have the libopencm3 library that is necessary for firmware compilation. You can of course always check out the specific version tag using git.
