v0.29.0 on PyPI

As a reminder, support for Python 2 is deprecated and planned to be dropped from an upcoming release. If this is a problem for you moving forward, please raise your concerns in the Dropping Python 2 support discussion.

Additions

• SWO: When enabled with the new swv_raw_enabled option, the raw SWO data is served over TCP port 3443 by default. The port is changeable with swv_raw_port option. (Thanks @patrislav1)
• CoreSight: Many ID table additions and renames, including adding A-profile IDs so meaningful information will be printed when connecting to an A+M multicore device.
• Probe server: Added --allow-remote argument to enable remote access to the probe server, as it now defaults to serve local-only, like the other TCP servers.
• Commander: reset command accepts optional reset type.
• Commander: show aps command to list DAP Access Ports.
• Architectural DAP reconnection support. DebugPort.connect() can be called multiple times and it will do the right thing.
• MEM-AP: Support for 64-256 bit transfers when the AP has the Large Data extension. Mostly only applies to A-profile and special devices.
• API: Added 64-bit memory transfers support to the memory interface API.
• Add a Code of Conduct, adapted from the Contributor Covenant.

Boards and targets

• Add Arm Musca-S1 target and board. (Thanks @mathias-arm)
• Add WIZwiki_W7500P board ID. (Thanks @ArthurRichard)
• Add NXP i.MX RT1170 target and board. (Thanks @jhqian)
• Fix NXP i.MX RT1015 memory map issue. (Thanks @Kris-b50122)
• Updated NXP LPC5500 series with rev 1B debug unlock sequence. (Thanks @ttt-t3r)
• Add family regex for NXP LPC5500 series, so the unlock logic will be applied to LPC5500 CMSIS-Packs.
• Correct NXP LPC5500 series flash erase sector size. Even though the device supports 512-byte erase sectors, the flash algo will always erase 32 kB at a time.
• For the NXP Kinetis family, ensure AP#0 is a MEM-AP before attempting to use it to test device connectivity. (Thanks @Hoohaha)
• Add STMicro NUCLEO-L432KC board. (Thanks @trunet)
• Correct STMicro STM32F429xG flash size. (Thanks @LONGZR007)
• Correct STMicro STM32F412xE flash size. (Thanks @newbrain)

Changes and fixes

• CMSIS-DAP: Flush command queue before sending SWO commands.
• CMSIS-DAP: Improved swo_read() so it only locks and flushes when using the DAP_SWO_Data command instead of a dedicated SWO EP (which is supported by CMSIS-DAPv2).
• MEM-AP: Restructured MEM_AP.init() to use a single read and restore of the CSW register.
• CMSIS-DAP: Truncate unused bytes of a command buffer, so CMSIS-DAPv2 bulk packets only contain the command and no padding and prevent sending zero length packets to signal the end of a transfer. (Thanks @kkitayam)
• Commander: Fixed selected core for gdbserver monitor commands to match the core associated with the gdbserver, and not have multiple gdbservers interfere with one another if the selected core is changed.
• Commander: Fixed "no-init" mode.
• Commander: Fix the probeserver command by wrapping the DebugProbe instance in the shared probe proxy.
• Commander: Fix wreg on peripheral registers.
• Always use the DebugPort object to perform resets, except for certain cases when the DebugPort doesn't exist yet (mostly "no-init" mode of Commander), so that pre- and post-reset notifications are sent.
• DP: Rename DebugPort.init() to connect().
• AP: Property and method for detecting whether the AP is enabled.
• CoreSight discovery: Gracefully report failures to create CoreSight components.
• CoreSight discovery: Add adi.v5.max_invalid_ap_count session option.
• CoreSight discovery: fix a problematic error log message.
• FreeRTOS: Fix r12 offset for FPU-enabled normal frame.
• Numerous small fixes and code improvements to resolve issues identified by LGTM.
• Add scripts/generate_flash_algo.py tool, copied from the FlashAlgo project and simplified.

Documentation

• Some improvements to main readme.
• Terminology additions.
• Improve adding_new_targets.md.

Test

• Renamed gdb_script.py to gdb_test_script.py.
• Moved functional test output files to test/output/ directory.
• Add ElfReaderContext test to debug_context_test.py.
• Add commander_test.py.
• Hex-encode XML-incompatible characters in test result XML.
• Fixed semihosting unit test issues.
