Release Candidate V1.9.0-rc1

We are happy to announce the second V1.9.0 release candidate of Black Magic Debug.

In this release

  • Fixed an error in BMDA’s DAP link reset logic [zyp]

  • Fixed the USB serial port control notifications (such as DTR) being sent over the wrong endpoint [dragonmux]

  • Fixed the CRC32 calculations being broken in BMDA and non-STM32 probes [perigoso]

  • Fixed a regression in the identification of STM32F0 parts [dragonmux]

  • Fixed a regression in the HOSTED_BMP_ONLY=1 build of BMDA for Windows due to mishandling a possible return value form RegGetValue() [LAK132]

  • Fixed the nRF52 target support being able to trigger probe memory exhaustion due to the size of the write buffers [dragonmux]

  • Fixed a NULL pointer dereference issue in the RTT monitor command when no arguments are given [koendv]

  • Corrected the part lookup for STM32F4 series and adjacent parts [perigoso]

  • Added a second set of symlinks to the udev rules to handle when multiple probes are attached to one host properly [dragonmux]

  • Added a missing NULL check in target_flash_erase [perigoso]

  • Fixed the BMDA build on OSX [djix123]

  • Fixed the Cortex-M SWD attach regression that occurs when there is a delay between scan and attach [dragonmux]

  • Fixed the target register description allocation inducing memory exhaustion and not being reliably cleaned up [dragonmux]

  • Fixed compilation of the DFU bootloaders under some ARM GCC toolchains [dragonmux]

  • Fixed a regression in BMDA’s file handling which caused Flash write and verify operations to be no-ops [hollinsky]

  • Implemented a monitor command to allow clean BMDA shutdowns [dragonmux]

  • Fixed dap_jtagtap_tdi_tdo_seq() crashing when ticks is 0 and final_tms is true [dragonmux]
