Reset via DTR pin is broken about stm8gal HOT 4 CLOSED

hi roybaer,

thanks for pointing that out! You are correct, port must be opened before DTR reset. In old versions the port was indeed opened before reset, but I changed the sequence because I had issues with USB port not flushing correctly (see also here).

To fix the bug without the flush issue, I just uploaded a fix to branch develop (not yet master). This opens the port, resets via DTR and closes the port again, see here.

Can you please check it and let me know if this fixes your problem? Thanks in advance!

I can confirm that this solves the DTR reset problem.
However, I cannot get anything past 1d91c12 to work. That problem appears to be unrelated, though.
Can you cherry-pick this fix into the master branch?

Darn!

1. just added the fix to the master branch, like requested.

2. I implemented many improvements and bugfixes (at least with my setup) in the develop branch. I would hate to go back to master again!
   Could you please be more specific what exactly doesn't work, which OS you're using, and which board / STM8 variant is not working...? Maybe it's due to a different behavior of the ROM bootloader, which I couldn't test...? Thanks in advance!

Thanks! master works well, now.
I've opened #11 for the unrelated issue, so this can be closed.
