REL v0254

Scope

This is a public release intended for general use and wide distribution.
It contains new features and fixes since version 0253

New firmware

• K26F HIC
• FRDM-K32W042 board
• MAX32625 HIC
• MAX32620 HIC
• MAX32630FTHR
• MAX32625PICO board
• MAX32620FTHR board

Features

• Added no MSD support builds and scripts. This can re-target any target family supported by DAPLink, change the board and family ID, and add flash algorithm blob to enable MSD interface in the USB.
• Added bulk endpoints in WinUSB interface for CMSIS v2 support.
• Multiple flash and ram support added. An independent flash algo for each regions can be added.
• CMSIS-RTOS2 interface for RTOS. Interface is RTX5 ready.

Changes

• Corrected flash algorithm call sequence.

Fixes

• Fix hex parsing without new line and non-sequential address support.
• Mac updates vfs size without filename field fixed.

Internal API

• New convention for adding a family id with vendor id.
