Sept 7, 2016 New Release of DAVE™, DAVE™ APPs and other Libraries

[Georg_Huba]

Today we published new versions of DAVE, DAVE SDK, DAVE APPs, XMC Lib, Device Descriptions, and Device Support Pack.

DAVE v4.3.2 and DAVE SDK v4.3.2
In addition to fixes of various issues we added a few new features:

• 9 new Features in DAVE (e.g. static memory analyzer, pin assignment based on board pin labels,…)
  
• 2 new feature in DAVE SDK
  

Please note, that existing DAVE v4.x versions cannot be updated to DAVE v4.3.2; DAVE v4.3.2 requires a new installation, but it is full backward compatible. Register to download DAVE v4.3.2.

DAVE APPs
We released 4 new DAVE APPs:

• CAPTURE: To measure parameters of digital signals
  
• I2S_CONFIG : To configure the USIC module for I2S functionality
  
• VADC_GROUP_CONFIG: To configure a VADC group
  
• VADC_GLOBAL_CONFIG: to handle global registers in conjunction with VADC_GROUP_CONFIG
  

… plus all know issues are fixed and all DAVE APPs are now released as Productive.

Contributed DAVE APPs
1 new APP (UCPROBE) to simplify usage of uC Probe XMC from Micrium was added.
(µC Probe XMC is a free tool to visualize and change variables in real-time).

DAVE Device Descriptions
9 new device descriptions for new XMC1000 derivatives were added; and in 6 peripheral models issues have been fixed.

XMC Lib v2.1.8
1 new peripheral driver for the USB Host has been added
11 Peripheral libraries have been updated (fix of issues, enhance of functionality).
All updates are full backward compatible.

Device Support Pack v2.1.16
Device support for 15 new devices has been added

Further details and how to update
Please download the detailed update information. This PDF includes more details, links to release notes and how the install the updates.

Example Projects
They will be updated to new DAVE APP versions within the coming days. There are also new example projects e.g. for USB boot loader published. DAVE examples are listed and downloadable from this web page.

thanks, is USB-WLAN stack in plan?

[Georg_Huba]

No, this is currently not planned. May be Clarinox offers something that would solve your needs:

Hello, when do you plan to release a firmware upload over Ethercat ?

Hi,

May I ask what is the avenue to report bug?

I just ran the upgrade process of an 4.2.8 project. The old project works fine in DAVE 4.3, but upgrading has these errors

Following user configured pins are not copied due to solver failure

UART_1; Receive Pin; #G9( P6.3 )
UART_1; Transmit Pin; #F10( P6.4 )
I2C_MASTER_0; SDA; #D7( P3.15 )
I2C_MASTER_0; SCL; #B4( P0.10 )
UART_2; Receive Pin; #B5( P0.4 )
UART_2; Transmit Pin; #A5( P0.5 )
M4B; PWM Output Pin; #D3( P3.11 )
M4A; PWM Output Pin; #E7( P3.4 )

and

I2C_MASTER
Name Type Message
tx pin WARNING Hardware connection has been removed in new version of APP: I2C_MASTER_0
UART
Name Type Message
receive_pin WARNING Hardware connection has been removed in new version of APP: UART_1

manually assigning them in the pin allocator does also no longer work and quits with solver error, In the logfile:

INFO: Execution of solver query timed out

Hi,

Is it possible for you to share the original 4.2.8 project with us so that we can analyze in detail the issue?

Jesus

Hi,
I can't share it unfortunately. Do you just need some specific files?

Switching the pins around to digital io and then back to the right modules worked after some tries.
