Build Number 7.31 released.
Montbonnot, September 2003
|
Build Number 7.31 was released mid of September (BN 7.30 was skipped for internal reasons).
RIDE has seen some general improvements in project documentation (link to datasheet) and windows management (tabs).
Moreover, the way to manage applications that mix C and Assembler in the same file has been simplified.
The ST5 toolchain has new optimizations (jump tables for switch statements and better interrupt routines) and the
driver for Softec's InDART hardware has been sped up by a factor of 2 to 3.
|
The 8051 toolchain features a newly designed ROM monitor which is well adapted to FLASH parts (and non volatile code
memory in general). The simulators have been completed and most derivatives with I2C are now fully simulated, including the
I2C itself. Support for Triscend E5 derivatives has been completed with the paging mechanism.
The XE8000 toolchain now supports banked applications, including for CodeCompressor.
|
|
CodeCompressor Script Language lets you define your own optimizations.
Montbonnot, July 2003
|
Raisonance introduces the Raisonance Peephole Script (RPS) language, that extends CodeCompressor reach and
performance by allowing users to define their own optimization scripts. Initially implemented to boost compression rates on

|
The 8051 toolchain now fully supports Philips' LPC900 derivatives; all peripherals are simulated (including
I2C in multiprocessor mode) and drivers for development boards are available.
TI's MSC1210 family is supported and fully simulated: the double precision BCD support of RC51 allows working with
MSC's high-precision ADC directly in C.
|
|
Build Number 7.28 released.
Montbonnot, December 2002
|
Build Number 7.28 was released end of December with one brand new toolchain (ST5), the final version of the XE8000 toolchain (including CodeCompressor), and many fixes and improvements in RIDE and most toolchains.
RIDE has been improved mainly in the Scripts management, with many new script commands, including the possibility to automatically execute scripts at a predefined phase of the debug cycle (startup, debug/start stop). The editor now
recognizes when open files have been modified by an external application and offers the possibility to reload. A new RIDE option allows you to choose to run the tools as dlls or DOS executables.
|
Always in RIDE, the OPen Ice Interface (OPI) has been improved so that hardware vendors can now easily have RIDE drive their
hardware (documentation available on demand).
The ST5 toolchain is now in version 1.0, including all standard tools + CodeCompressor. All derivatives are supported and simulated.
The XE8000 CodeCompressor is now available (average 30% compression with the GNU compiler).
The Header Files have been completely reorganized in a cleaner way that also takes into account the new architectures supported: existing projects might need minor modifications (see in the support forum)
The simulation of XA derivatives is now significantly faster, especially with the UART window open.

Build Number 7.27 released.
Crolles, September 2002
|
Build Number 7.27 was released beginning of September with some improvements (mainly in RIDE) and support for some new targets.
RIDE now has an improved search function that remembers the latest keywords searched for. The editor now offers the possibility to replace tabs with spaces, so to preserve alignment when working with different editors. The debuggers main window now shows what target is selected (bottom line) and
the script language has been extended in view of making its use for test purpose easier.
|
The 8051 toolchain has been improved with the support of TI's MSC1210 board (driven by RIDE) and basic support of SST and GOAL semi derivatives. A new directive (TOLERANT) has been introduced to relax a bit some rules (mainly when working with pointers to different memory areas):
this should come in handy when working with sources that were originally written for less strict compilers (example: Keil)
The ROM Monitor has been revised and will be soon provided with full source files (for RKitE), including the PC drivers. This, together
with an application note due in September, should allow easier customization of the Monitor itself for custom boards/applications.
|
|
Build Number 7.25 released.
Crolles, May 2002
|
Build Number 7.25 was released beginning of May featuring some important improvements for most supported toolchains.
RIDE (the debugger) gets several new functionalities: in the Code View, there is now a column, to the right of Code Coverage, where the value of the stack pointer is displayed for every instruction executed: this is very useful to check the call tree and to detect stack overflows. As an alternative, you can replace the SP value by your own expression (a sort of watch), so that, in case of problems you can see exactly where the execution went wrong.
In the data view, for every byte there is now more information: one says if the byte has been written at least once since the last reset, the other if it has been read. This information can be used to track non-initialized variables (read but never written) and useless variables (written but never read). Both flags (read and write) also report when (program counter value) the variable has been accessed.
Back to the code view, the search function has been improved and is now able to search for symbols, addresses, stack values and more. Breakpoints can now be set before starting a debug session.
|
The 8051 toolchain has been improved with the support of Triscend development board. The KR51 (kernel)
source code has been polished and properly commented and is now provided as part of RkitE51. The large
variety of supported derivatives has been reorganized in a tree-like fashion (by supplier) and a short
description of each micro, together with the list of simulated peripherals is now shown.
The XA toolchain has been reviewed in the simulator, which is now more than twice as fast.
The SmartXA2 toolchain has been improved with support of the FLASH memory (both in the simulator
and the emulator). In addition, a static analysis of the stack consumption is now produced by the linker
