A. CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS RELEASES
==============================================================================

    (to 2.4.0 Build 22092601)
    - Added new Programming view to program, erase, or verify target devices 
      from within the ZSP Configuration Software.  This feature requires ZSP
      Firmware version 2.4.0 (or later).
    - Removed the decimal format option in the serialization page. 
      Serial Numbers are now only displayed as hexadecimal strings.
    - Modified support for F3224 devices to work around an erratum regarding 
      the RESDCO specification being exceeded at certain DCO control codes as
      described UP0142 available on www.zilog.com.
    - Modified the Firmware Upgrade process to make it more resistant to power
      failures.  The ZSP USB cable should never be disconnected while a firmware
      upgrade is in progress since this can leave the ZSP in an unusable state.
      In some instances, it might be possible to recover the ZSP Firmware should 
      an unexpected power failure occur.  For more information refer to the ZSP 
      Firmware Upgrade document (ZSP_FW_Upgrade_Information.pdf) located in the
      <ZSP Install>\bin\firmware\ZSP folder.
    - Addressed the following Firmware CRs:  

      CR13639
         After successfully programming a target with serialization enabled, both
         the serial number and application image are read back to ensure they
         were both programmed correctly.  If not, a verification error (-9) is 
         displayed on the LCD.  Previously, only the target application was read
         back after programming and the serial number was not verified.

      CR13641
         ZSP FW detects an invalid checksum error (ZSP_ERR_CHECKSUM = -12) 
         when Encore or S3 target programmed with serialization enabled if 
         the serial number and Hex file address range overlap. No error 
         occurs if serialization is disabled or the serial number start 
         address is higher than the last byte in the application image

      CR13642
         S3 target Flash at 0x5CAE is programmed with in invalid value 
         when serialization is enabled and the serial number is programmed 
         at an address that's not a multiple of 0x100

    (to 2.3.0 Build 21092402)
    - Added support for programming Encore! Z8F6482 RevAD (and subsequent)
      target devices that disable the FLL after power on reset (POR).  Erasing
      and/ or programming Z8F6482 targets requires the FLL to be enabled and 
      the DCO to be configured to generate a SYSCLK frequency of at least 1MHz.
      Refer to the “Z8 Encore! XP F6482 Series Product Specification” (PS0294)
      for more information.
    - Replaced the ZSP Boot Loader with the Zilog DFU Boot Loader

    (to 2.2.0 Build 20081704)
    - Fixed programming issue for Z8Encore! 8-pin devices.
    - Added support for Z8Encore! ZMOTION devices: 
      Z8F1681xK_2247, Z8F1681xN_2247, Z8F6481xN_2247, Z8F3224xH_2258, 
      Z8F3224xK_2258, and Z8F3224xN_2258 
    - Grouped Z8Encore! ZMOTION devices under the “Z8Encore_ZMOTION_Series” Series.
    
    (to 2.1.1 19082003)
    - Added a prompt to erase the ZSP Configuration Information Area on firmware
      upgrading if the ZSP firmware version is v2.0 or earlier.
    - Fixed the issue of programming S3 Smart Options.
      
    (to 2.1.0 Build 19060301)
    - New features added in v2.1.0 of the ZSP Configuration Software require 
      a ZSP firmware upgrade to version v2.1 (or later)

        *** BEFORE UPGRADING THE ZSP USB FIRMWARE TO v2.1 (OR LATER), THE ZSP 
            CONFIGURATION AND IMAGE AREA MUST BE CLEARED (ERASED) USING THE ZSP
            CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE. ZSP FIRMWARE v2.0 (OR EALRIER) CONFIGURATION 
            INFORMATITON IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH FIRMWARE VERSION v2.1 (OR LATER) 
            CONFIGURATION INFORMATION. SIMILARLY THE ZSP CONFIGURATION AND IMAGE 
            AREA MUST BE CLEARED (ERASED) PRIOR TO DOWNGRADING ZSP v2.1 FW ***

    - Added password-protection (PW) of select ZSP operations 
    - New security feature to limit the number of target devices that can be 
      programmed using the ZSP via a configurable program counter (PC). 
    - Added new Advanced view to configure PW and PC settings

    (to 2.0.0 Build 19021403)
    - Added Z8Encore! MCU Family
    - New Firmware 2.0 and Bootloader 2.0
