Version 1.3.1

This is the sixth production release of ORBTrace Mini gateware.

This build does not add new functionality but improves USB error handling so control handlers can correctly recover from receiving corrupted data. This mainly affects the DFU functionality. It is recommended for all users.

New Features

  • No new user visible features

Bugfixes and Itchfixes

  • Handle corrupt USB control OUT message correctly.

Assets

Gateware set consists of the bootloader and application images. Bootloader targets dfu slot 2, application slot 1. Under normal conditions you will only need the application gateware.

Installation

To install you will need to have established permissions for the device (See the README, or just grab a suitable udev rules file, like this one. A modern Orbuculum install also inserts a suitable udev file. Then hold down the button and power up the ORBTrace Mini. The status LED will turn purple. In a terminal window, enter;

dfu-util -d 1209:3442 -a 1 -D orbtrace_mini_application_1.3.1.bit

Once it has flashed power cycle and you should be running the new version. You can verify that you are running the correct version by checking the interface strings;

$ lsusb -d 1209:3443 -v | grep iInterface
      iInterface              0 
      iInterface              0 
      iInterface              4 Trace
      iInterface              5 Control Proxy
      iInterface              6 CMSIS-DAP v1
      iInterface              7 CMSIS-DAP v2
      iInterface              8 Target power
      iInterface              9 Version: v1.3.1-0-gd096575

It is also worth updating your bootloader. To do that, go into bootloader mode again and load the bootloader into slot 2;

dfu-util -d 1209:3442 -a 2 -D orbtrace_mini_bootloader_1.3.1.bit

If you goof this up you'll have to reprogram using the JTAG header and following the instructions here. Be particularly careful not to flash the application gateware into the bootloader slot. If you do that your ORBTrace will work perfectly, but you'll lose the ability to dfu-update.

Help Requested

Please test on a wide variety of targets as possible and report observed issues...ARM CORTEX-M is a broad church and wide testing is essential. Success reports are as important as failure ones, so feel free to raise an issue or ping us in the Discord.

Contributions to both ORBTrace and Orbmortem always gratefully accepted.
