targets/stm32f1x.cfg:74: Error: target requires -dap parameter instead of -chain-position! OpenOCD

Question

I am using OpenOCD to flash code into a black-pill (STM32f103). It worked a week ago but after updating ubuntu (it's the only thing I can think of that changed) it gives me an error when flashing the code.

I've tried changing the -chain-position for -dap but as I don't understand what I am doing it doesn't work.

Any help helping me understand this error would be highly appreciated.

Since version 0.11.0 OpenOCD doesn't create the DAP(Debug Access Point) isn't automatically created. Change the line for:

dap create dap_name -chain-position $_TARGETNAME
target create $_TARGETNAME cortex_m -endian $_ENDIAN -dap dap_name
