2.2.0/linux/hid-flash binary on Linux does not have execute bit set

[bxparks]

Hi,
I just upgraded to STM32duino 2.5.0, and I encountered the same problem as bug #79 that I filed 1.5 years ago: various binaries under the STMicroelectronics/tools/STM32Tools/2.2.0/linux do not have their eXecute bit set, in particular, the hid-flash. This causes the Arduino IDE to fail with a Java exception, preventing flashing of my STM32 Blue Pill using the HID bootloader.

-rw-r--r-- 1 brian brian 151688 Mar 28 15:00 dfu-util

The workaround is to manually set this bit:

$ chmod +x hid-flash upload_reset dfu-util/* dfu-util_x86_64/*

The Java exception is:

Hi @bxparks
I've forgot this and generate again under git bash.
Sorry, I will properly regenerate within the next release in the 2.2.1 packages.

@fpistm : thank you for the quick attention on this, and all your work on STM32duino

I close it as I will release the 2.2.1
