Creator2.0出来以后很多朋友在问它和1.0有哪些区别，如下：
The production revision of PSoC Creator 2.0 released In December 2011 and adds the following features:
Keil µVision4 IDE Integration PSoC Creator lets you design the perfect 8051 or ARM Cortex-M3 device. With this release, you can now export those designs into the Keil µVision4 IDE to write, debug, and test firmware in the development environment you’ve used for years.
The Export feature supports the generation of new µVision4 projects, as well as updates to existing ones. You do not have to give up on those last-minute changes to the hardware or spend valuable development time merging code and fiddling with options.
PSoC 5 Production Devices There are many changes to the PSoC 5 parts catalog in this release. We’ve qualified the silicon for production and removed the old ES1 parts that we were no longer sampling. We also added 20 new ones that you can target for real production designs.
Static Timing Analysis A key element of supporting PSoC 5 production is the extension of Static Timing Analysis (STA) to this family of parts. STA is the methodology used by PSoC Creator to determine whether a specific design is able to meet the timing capabilities of the device. It is used to analyze the propagation delays in and out of the chip and the clocking behavior within the chip. In addition to the new devices, we’ve added support for hold-time analysis and extended temperature range parts.
Timing-Driven Routing Timing-driven routing (TDR) is a build-time feature that incorporates timing constraints into the routing algorithm. This helps reduce the number of STA violations in digital designs and reduce the variability of routing solutions (where a small design change has a disproportionate impact on routes found). The new routing algorithm not only recognizes timing problems but re-routes designs to avoid them.
Annotation Wires and Terminals You can now configure the Pins component to show an annotation terminal. This is a new type of connection for off-chip components. Complementing the new feature is a comprehensive library of annotation components, such as resistors, capacitors, diodes, and power supplies. Use these components to document your PSoC schematics with the board-based features of your design. We’re already using annotation components in our Application Notes and Code Examples on the web. Look for the new content in the Component Catalog.
Concept Components In addition to our usual library of components, we've added some concept components to the Component Catalog. These components range from handy point solutions that solve problems in all kinds of designs up to sophisticated hierarchical solutions for specific applications. They were developed by our Applications team, who work on customer designs and address real-world problems.
You should feel free to try these components in your designs, and take them to production if they are a good fit for you. However, be aware that they have not been validated to the same quality standards as our regular content.
Component State Reporting To make sure you are aware of the level of content maturity, we have implemented a component state reporting feature. All concept components, as well as versions of our standard components distributed in beta releases, are “watermarked” in schematics. There is also a gentle reminder in the Notice List window that they are "Prototype," as opposed to “Production” components.
Live Start Page When we introduced PSoC Creator, we populated the Start Page with information about the new devices and an introduction to the tool. In order to provide more up-to-date information, we've made the Start Page Internet-enabled. We’ll be publishing weekly news updates for topics such as PSoC kits, software updates, application notes and code examples, fun competitions, trade shows, training courses, online webinars, and more!
Multi-Application Bootloading The bootloader now supports loading of applications to multiple spaces in flash. This can be used to ensure that a usable image is always available. If, for example, a new image starts to download (which normally overwrites the current image) and the interface becomes unavailable, the alternative application can continue to be used until the hardware failure can be addressed.
New Components
LIN Slave, Segment Display (for PSoC 5), Vector CAN, S/PDIF, External Memory (EMIF) and Sample/Track & Hold Components have been added. |
