Cause: HTV3.7.1 disables TLS 1.0 and 1.1 by default.
Solution: If you have legacy clients, override the setting: tls.min_version = "1.0" in your config, then restart. However, this is not recommended for production.
If you are migrating a custom htv.conf file from version 3.7.0, note the following deprecated and new directives. htv3.7.1
HTV3.7.1 is widely recognized as a specific firmware or software version associated with a family of hardware testing and validation (HTV) tools. The "HTV" acronym typically stands for Hardware Test & Verification, used primarily in manufacturing lines, repair centers, and development labs for consumer electronics. Cause: HTV3
The ".7.1" designation indicates it is a minor revision of the major version 3 release. According to internal release notes from various OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) that adopted this standard, HTV3.7.1 was rolled out in late 2018 to address critical bugs present in version 3.6.x, particularly those related to I²C bus timing and flash memory wear leveling.

Important Legal Note: HTV3.7.1 is proprietary firmware/software. It is typically bound to a specific hardware license key. Downloading cracked versions from torrent sites is not only illegal but dangerous—malicious actors often inject payloads that can physically damage test equipment.
University labs teaching reverse engineering often maintain a dedicated HTV3.7.1 station because its debug output is less encrypted than modern tools, making it ideal for instructional bus sniffing.
