What's New in MDKARM Version 4.53

• [µVision]
  • This MDK-ARM release is delivered with µVision V4.53 IDE.
    • Enhanced: In case device-specific books are not found in the local installation, then www.keil.com is scanned for a matching document.
    • Corrected: Under some circumstances the Debugger showed wrong values of arrays or structures in the Watch window.
    • Refer to Revision History for a complete list.
• [New Supported Devices]
  • Fujitsu
    MB9AF131K, MB9AF131L, MB9AF132K, and MB9AF132L
  • Holtek
    HT32F1755, HT32F1765, and HT32F2755
  • NXP
    LPC11A11/001, LPC11A12/101, LPC11A13/201, and LPC11A14/301
  • Samsung
    S3C2416
  • SONiX
    SN32F707, and SN32F706
  • Toshiba
    TMPM384FDFG
• [Middleware]
  • [RTX]
    • Added: support for Low Power Cortex-M applications based on RTX, new functions: os_suspend, os_resume
    • Added: RTX Low Power demo application for Keil MCB11U10 board in folder ..\ARM\Boards\Keil\MCB1000\MCB11U10\RTX_LowPower
    • Added: support for peripheral timer to be used as OS tick timer for Cortex-M (instead of Core SysTick timer)
    • Added: example for Keil MCB1700 board which shows how to use a peripheral timer as OS Tick Timer, in folder ..\ARM\Boards\Keil\MCB1700\RTX_Blinky_RIT
    • Added: new function os_time_get which returns current OS time in ticks
    • Corrected: stack checking did not work for os_tsk_delete_self function
    • Corrected: system operating mode for ARM7/ARM9 library (some devices require privileged sys mode to setup RTX tick timer and interrupts)
  • [FlashFS]
    • Enhanced: DC_GETCID command added as DeviceCtrl parameter, to allow user to read memory card CID register.
    • Enhanced: TRAN_SPEED parameter from memory card CSD register is now used to set SD/MMC transfer clock.
    • Updated: MCI/SDIO drivers for LPC23xx, LPC24xx, LPC3xxx, STM32F10x, STM32F2xx, STM32F4xx. Updated drivers can be found in folder ..\ARM\RL\FlashFS\Drivers
    • Corrected: release of file resources. If the media was unexpectedly removed, while the system was writting a file on the media, would cause out of RTX mutex or out of heap error.
    • Added: SD Card driver for LPC177x and LPC178x devices. MCI_LPC177x_8x driver can be found in folder ..\ARM\RL\FlashFS\Drivers
    • Added: FlashFS SD_File example for Embedded Artists LPC1788-32 Developers Kit in folder ..\ARM\Boards\Embedded Artists\LPC1788-32 Developers Kit\RL\FlashFS
  • [TCPnet]
    • Enhanced: configurable welcome message option added for FTP server in the configuration file.
    • Added: new ERR_MEM_LOCK error code in the configuration file. This error code is returned, if the system detects reentrancy in non-reentrant memory allocation routines, which might cause memory corruptions.
    • Corrected: file upload return status in FTP server. If the system runs out of space on file upload, it now returns an error code to the user.
    • Corrected: large POST problem in HTTP server. The http_get_var() function failed to process POST data, if it was received in several TCP packets.
    • Corrected: a data buffering problem in BSD socket interface for stream server sockets. If the remote host has closed and re-opened the connection, a first call to recv function returned unread data from the first session.
    • Added: the missing IP Router Alert option in IGMPv2 packets.
    • Updated the DNS client hostname resolver:
      • added hostname format checking. Invalid hostnames are now detected internally and not forwarded to external DNS server.
      • corrected the status callback notification, to report only the final status of DNS resolving process.
    • Updated the FTP client module:
      • processing of server responses is corrected and support for multi-line response is added.
      • handling of early received Transfer OK message is corrected. This message could be received before the data transmission has finished and would cause truncation of the receiving file.
    • Added: Ethernet driver for LPC177x and LPC178x devices. EMAC_LPC177x_8x driver can be found in folder ..\ARM\RL\TCPnet\Drivers
    • Added: TCPnet examples for Embedded Artists LPC1788-32 Developers Kit in folder ..\ARM\Boards\Embedded Artists\LPC1788-32 Developers Kit\RL\TCPnet
  • [USB Device and USB Host]
    • Added: USB Host examples for Embedded Artists LPC1788 evaluation board. The examples can be found in ..ARM\Boards\Embedded Artists\LPC1788-32 Developers Kit\RL\USB\Host\ folder.
    • Added: USB Host example for Infineon CPU_45A-V2 evaluation board. The example can be found in ..ARM\Boards\Infineon\Hexagon Application Kit\CPU_45A-V2\RL\USB\Host\ folder.
  • [CAN]
    • Added: CAN_Ex1 and Can_Ex2 example for Keil MCB1800 evaluation board. Examples can be found in ..\ARM\Boards\Keil\MCB1800\RL\CAN folder.
    • Added: CAN_Ex1 and Can_Ex2 example for Keil MCB4300 evaluation board. Examples can be found in ..\ARM\Boards\Keil\MCB4300\RL\CAN folder.
