What's New in MDKARM Version 5.00
MDK-ARM Version 5.00
Release Date: 7th September, 2013
■[Software Packs]
■MDK-ARM V5.0 (MDK V5) introduces Software Packs which make device support and middleware updates independent from the toolchain installation. The MDK V5 installer contains the µVision IDE and Debugger, the ARM Compiler and the new Pack Installer which is used to manage Software Packs. Device support, CMSIS and MDK-Professional Middleware are delivered as Software Packs.
■Software Packs can contain device database descriptions, CMSIS Core Device and CMSIS SVD files, as well as Flash Programming Algorithms and other Software Components. For more details refer to http://www.keil.com/pack/doc/cmsis/Pack/html/index.html.
■[Software Installation and Updates]
■The new Pack Installer is a utility for installing, updating, and removing Software Packs. In addition, it enables the user to copy example projects which are part of a Software Pack to a local folder.
■A current set of Software Packs can be found on the MDK V5 Software Packs website at www.keil.com/dd2/Pack.
■The MDK V5 Device List page at www.keil.com/dd2 shows all microcontrollers that are currently supported by Software Packs.
■For devices that currently aren't supported by Software Packs, Legacy Support packages are available.
■[µVision]
■[Run-Time Environment] The Run-Time Environment (RTE) defines the software components that are used in a project. The new Run-Time Environment Dialog shows all installed Software Components that are available for the selected microcontroller.
■[User Code Templates] User Code templates contain example code for frequently used functionality in software components that are delivered as a part of Software Packs.
■[Project Files] µVision 5 introduces new project file extensions *.uvprojx, *.uvoptx, and *.uvguix to indicate projects that use RTE. The option Project - Manage - Use Run-Time Environment enables or disables RTE. When RTE is disabled, µVision 4 compatible project files are created.
■This MDK V5 release is delivered with µVision V5.0.5.15.
■[ARM Compiler]
■This version of MDK-ARM contains ARM Compiler 5.03u2.
■All compiler related files are located in ..\ARM\ARMCC\ directory.
■Details can be found in the Compiler specific Release Notes..
■[CMSIS]
■This version of MDK V5 ships with the CMSIS 3.20 Software Pack.
■The CMSIS Pack includes CMSIS-RTOS RTX, a CMSIS-RTOS compatible real-time OS.
■CMSIS-RTOS RTX replaces MDK V4.x RTX. For project maintenance, MDK V4.x RTX is still available as part of the Legacy Support.
■[Middleware]
■The MDK V5 middleware requires a CMSIS-RTOS compatible RTOS like CMSIS-RTOS RTX.
■The MDK V5 middleware uses the new CMSIS-DRIVER API for hardware access.
■[File System Component]
■The MDK V5 File System Component is incompatible with the MDK V4.x RL-FlashFS middleware.
■The differences to the RL-FlashFS can be found on the Differences to RL-FlashFS website.
■A detailed description can be found on the File System Component Documentation website.
■[Network Component]
■The MDK V5 Network Component is incompatible with the MDK V4.x RL-TCPnet middleware.
■The differences to the RL-TCPnet can be found on the Differences to RL-TCPnet website.
■A detailed description can be found on the Network Component Documentation website.
■[USB Component]
■The MDK V5 USB Component is incompatible with MDK V4.x RL-USB middleware.
■The differences to the RL-USB can be found on the Differences to RL-USB website.
■A detailed description can be found on the USB Component Documentation website.
■[Graphics Component]
■The MDK V5 Graphic Component is based on Segger emWin 5.22.
■A detailed description can be found on the Graphic Component Documentation website.
■[Target debugging]
■Updated: The CMSIS-DAP driver now supports the Micro Trace Buffer (MTB) of Cortex-M0+ devices.
■Updated: ULINK2 device firmware to version 2.02. This version removes the Windows warning "This device can perform faster if connected to USB 2.0".
■Updated: Segger J-Link driver for ARM devices to version 4.76d.
