ChipWhisperer 0.09RC1

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.

ChipWhisperer 0.09

Changes/Fixes from 0.09RC1

• SW: FEATURE: Improved graphing speed
• SW: FEATURE: New correlation vs traces output graph
• SW: BUGFIX: Working per-byte point range allowed
• FPGA: FEATURE: GPIO4 now general IO (not forced High-Z)

ChipWhisperer 0.08RC1

Fixes/changes:

• SW: FPGA Files now part of a complete .zip file
• SW: Custom analysis scripts now possible, makes modifying models E-Z
• SW: Add GPIO Toggle (for resetting target) as aux module
• SW: Add key override for analysis
• DOC: Several new tutorials, including AES-256 bootloader which demos the new analysis script system (still ongoing)

ChipWhisperer 0.07

The 0.06 release had some incorrect files (was not widely published), this fixed that. Also adds these features:

• SW: Does not require Java to download FPGA bitstream (not fully documented yet)
• SW: Various small improvements (see git log)

ChipWhisperer 0.06

NOTE: this release is missing some files!

ChipWhisperer 0.05

Changes/Fixes from 0.03RC2

• SW: Improved profiling attacks with basic example in documentation
• SW: Analysis software now uses a 'master script', simplifies doing custom stuff along with development, not fully documented yet
• SW: Improves preprocessing modules, adds decimation and clock recovery modules
• SW: Detects and displays changes in project file when closing
• SW: Project file editor
• FPGA: Fixed timing error with SAD trigger
• FPGA: Fixes to USI Interface allow use with SmartCard
• FPGA: Glitch has mode where can hold output high for several cycles
• FPGA: Glitch has single-shot mode using external trigger
• DOC: Several new tutorials
