BOSSA 1.2 FILES ----- bossa-1.2.msi -- Windows 2000+ bossa64-1.2.msi -- Windows 2000+ 64-bit bossa-i686-1.2.tgz -- Linux GTK bossa-x86_64-1.2.tgz -- Linux GTK 64-bit bossa-1.2.dmg -- MAC OS X 10.6+ NEW IN THIS RELEASE ------------------- * New BOSSA shell command line application to do basic memory, flash, and PIO diagnostics * Workaround for SAM3U firmware bug * Fixed a bug with setting boot to flash bit on SAM3 devices RELEASE NOTES ------------- * The OS X USB driver detects an Atmel device as a USB modem. When prompted about a new network interface, click Cancel to continue. * Some stability issues have been seen with the OS X USB driver using BOSSA. When running BOSSA a second time to the same Atmel device, the USB driver can lock up causing BOSSA to freeze. As a workaround, always disconnect and reconnect the Atmel device before running BOSSA again. * The firmware inside of SAM3U devices has a bug where non-word flash reads return zero instead of the real data. BOSSA implements a transparent workaround for flash operations that copies flash to SRAM before reading. Direct reads using the BOSSA shell will see the bug. * There are reports that the USB controller in some AMD-based systems has difficulty communicating with SAM devices. The only known workaround is to use a different, preferrably Intel-based, system.
