Changes/Fixes from 0.08

  • SW: FEATURE: 'CWCapture.pyw' and 'CWAnalysis.pyw' files run on Windows without command prompt, looks like regular appliaction (thanks to Zak Escano).
  • SW: FEATURE: FPGA bitstream automatically downloaded if required, no need to run 'Download CW Firmware' anymore
  • SW: FEATURE: Support for upcomming ChipWhisperer-Lite Hardware
  • SW: FEATURE: Ability to use glitch explorer with multiple parameters now implemented
  • SW: FEATURE: Support for DPAContestv4.2 cards (requires new reader, see below)
  • SW: FEATURE: New SmartCard reader for ChipWhisperer hardware, more reliable than USI interface (requires new FPGA changes, see below)
  • FPGA: FEATURE: Support 2-stop bits + even parity on serial interface, allows use as smartcard reader (ChipWhisperer only for now, to be ported to SASEBO-W later)
  • SW: BUGFIX: Lists of scopes/targets keep proper order
  • SW: BUGFIX: Remove dependancy on PC/SC SmartCard module if not using a PC/SC Smartcard reader
  • SW: BUGFIX: Remove warnings about missing modules which you don't need anyway (i.e. mysql, etc)
  • SW: BUGFIX: Numerous small bug-fixes and improvements (see GIT for details)
  • SW/FPGA: BUGFIX: Wrong glitch width was loaded when offset was '0%'
  • FPGA: BUGFIX: Fixes to glitch output logic, previously used registered output which would occasionally latch due to timing failures (these are glitches after all)
  • DOC: BUGFIX: Numerous fixes thanks to Zak Escano

Before Running Please Note

  • Check documentation (linked above) for install information
  • Run self.clearAllSettings() in python console if you are installing this to a DIFFERENT directory than your existing installation

Known Issues (Critical Only)

  • Project files mostly DO NOT work. Does not save analysis results (analyzer) or hardware settings (capture). Only item saved is trace data.
  • Cannot open a project file once you've already got one open, must close project and reopen software.
  • Many things cause crashes.
