Upload firmware using black magic probe does not work

Choose: Tools->Upload Method->Black Magic Probe
then: Sketch->Upload

To work, the file .arduino15/packages/STM32/hardware/stm32/1.8.0/platform.txt needs to be patched:

Hi @koendv
Right, forgot to update this path with xpack.
And I didn't saw this before as I have other arm none eabi gcc toolchain installed by other core so it is referenced 😖

I tried to use compiler.path but it is not known/expand at this step. Don't know why it works for you. 😕
Tested on Linux.

Thank you. Your patch to platform.txt solves this issue; black magic probe upload now works fine.
