Changes in v1.8.1:

Romloader v2.5.3: Bugfix: Possible crash when connecting to the netX 90 Rev2 via UART or ethernet (NXTFLASHER-534).
Bugfix: detect_netx may hang with netx 90 Rev.1 (PHY V2 or V3) over ethernet (NXTFLASHER-537).
USIP Player: Do not verify the signature of the helper files if the read command is selected.
USIPGen v0.2.1: Exit with error code 1 if the serial connection can not be opened inside the load_usip function.

Changes in v1.8.0 (to version 1.7.0):

Add Support for new chip types:
netX 90 Rev1 with PHY v3
netX 90 Rev2
When detecting an SPI/SQI flash, detect and display the device name and its JEDEC ID, when possible.
'detect_netx' command now detects netX 90 Rev.1 and netX 90 Rev.1 PHY V3: when netX 90 Rev. 1 is found, detect the PHY version.
Romloader 2.5.2:
- netX 90/JTAG: disable all IRQs if CPU is halted in undefined state (that is, when attach mode is selected or when the CPU does not halt in the breakpoint as expected after reset.)
- netx 90 Rev1 and Rev2: When the netx is in the UART terminal console, send a reset command which allows us to enter the machine interface. (Previously, a manual reset was required).
- UART machine interface: During the connection setup, when the netx is repeatedly sending a packet because it is waiting for an ack packet, send a cancel_operation request.
- netX 90: When secure boot mode is detected, exit with an error.
- Changed wording of some messages during chip type detection (more uniform messages, mention when chip type is potentially incorrect, mention open/secure boot mode)

WFP:
- Added the 'read' command. It allows to read data from the flash controlled by a WFP control file and store the resulting files in a WFP directory or a WFP archive.
- Added summary output to verify command.
- Added new command 'example' that gives an example control XML based on the connected netX (selected plugin.
- Bugfix: Verify command fails for a wfp archive that uses a flash command for intflash01 before another flash command for intflash1 or intflash0. (NXTFLASHER-432)
- Bugfix: Add timestamps to the files in a created archive. (NXTFLASHER-426)

USIP Player:
- Add command set_kek.
- Updated the read_sip binary: Invalidate the SIP copy in RAM and reset to prevent reading from an outdated copy.
- Updated SIPper to v0.2.3-dev3

SIPper v0.2.3-dev3:
- Updated uart_handler to version 1.2.1
  Added support of new uart_handler receive routine to make the communication more robust
- Added details to executable, which are shown when you hover over the exe file in Windows
