v22.07

This release provides fixes to the previous v22.06 release:

• Fixed a bug updating NVMe firmware in Windows on the Intel NVMe consumer driver
• Added workaround to help detect firmware activations that require a reset on the Intel NVMe driver
• Fixed a segmentation fault in the CSMI discovery code when more than 1 drive was present on drivers supporting this interface
• Fixed smart status in -i for SATA drives that report this in the SCT status log
• Updated man pages included in the Linux archive
• Fixed extra zero padding when pulling some SATA logs
• cleaned up SN on some Seagate USB products

v22.06

Changes:

• (Windows) Fixed an NVMe firmware update bug with Intel's RST driver found in some systems
• Added workaround for HpCISSS.sys driver with CSMI code to workaround a hang for now until a better solution is found.
• Added more examples to openSeaChest_Firmware and openSeaChest_PowerControl help output
• fixed a bug in detection of security protocol command support in openSeaChest_PassthroughTest
• Added more known USB drives/adapters and their capabilities to work with them as best is possible
• Fixed read-look-ahead detection for SCSI information discovered with -i
• Improved legacy drive support with SMART
• Fixed a bug in detection of the current block size when using --showSupportedFormats on USB adapters.
• Cleaned up how Serial Numbers are reported for Seagate/LaCie SAS and USB drives

v22.04

Summary of changes:

• Dual Actuator Drive support
• Initial NVMe HDD support
• Fixed crashes in NVMe telemetry log pulls
• Fixed a crash in some Intel RST/CSMI drivers for NVMe drives
• Fixed a crash in --setSCSIMP in openSeaChest_Configure
• Added openSeaChest_Reservations for managing reservations on SAS/NVMe devices
• Added support for new and upcoming Seagate USB devices
• Fixed SAS power consumption since some drives report in milliwatts which was breaking the previous build
• New SATA SMART attribute output mode "hybrid" is available.
• Better detection of memory cards and memory card readers to filter capabilities.
• Fixed compatibility with ram disk software in Windows
• Fixed some potential memory leaks
• Improved auto-detection of USB->NVMe adapters
• Updates to better support latest Windows 10 and 11 API changes.

June 2021

This release includes the following changes:

• Fixes setting Seagate power balance on newer SAS products
• Adds showing concurrent positioning ranges (info) and detecting the number of ranges for drive info (-i on all tools) for upcoming Seagate products
• Remove legacy drive workaround to ignore final status on a firmware update. This was only needed for some very old products. This behavior is preserved with the flag --fwdlIgnoreFinalSegment in case this is ever needed.
• fix polling for progress on depop and repop operations for SATA drives
• Fixed a bug in reading a text file to change SCSI mode pages which prevented the option to use a file from working at all
• More USB compatibility improvements from testing more drives and building in their capabilities to the tool and figuring out what other fields can be used to help with automatic detection for those not already explicitly defined in the tool.
• Analyzed Seagate SATA HDD SMART attribute output

v21.04.27: Release of openSeaChest tools for April 27, 2021.

Added a Seagate SATA quick format option to be used if something goes wrong during --setSectorSize in openSeaChest_Format that can help make sure the drive is still in a good state. This automatically runs if a failure is detected on Seagate drives.

Fixed SAS write same in openSeaChest_Erase.

Pulled in improvements made while correcting warnings from CodeQL to various tools.

v21.03.01

Release of openSeaChest tools from March 1, 2021.
