Driver and access files for BMP
This directory contains a few different important files described in the sections below. These are:
99-blackmagic-plugdev.rules
This file contains udev rules for Linux
systems that use 'plugdev' as the access group for plug-in devices. This allows GDB, dfu-util,
and other utilities access to your Black Magic Probe hardware without needing sudo / root on
the computer you're trying to access the hardware from.
Distros that use 'plugdev' for this purpose include:
- Debian
- Ubuntu
- Linux Mint
99-blackmagic-uucp.rules
This file contains udev rules for Linux
systems that use 'uucp' as the access group for plug-in devices. This allows GDB, dfu-util,
and other utilities access to your Black Magic Probe hardware without needing sudo / root on
the computer you're trying to access the hardware from.
Distros that use 'uucp' for this purpose include:
- Arch
- Manjaro
Notes about udev rules
Our udev rules include use of the 'uaccess' tag which means either rules file should just work on any modern distro that uses systemd. The specific user access group only matters when not using systemd, or on older distros that predate the user access tag.
