- Minor text and display tweaks (terminal speed adjust, SPI sniffer)
- New PIC 18F/24F programming commands in raw2wire
- Other bug fixes
Read about the firmware update process for the ds30 Loader GUI (Windows/Linux) and pirate-loader console app (Windows/Linux/Mac). This firmware requires the v4+ bootloader, be sure you upgrade to the v4 bootloader first if you still have bootloader v2.
