Version 4.36 [25. Jul 2017]

New Features

  1. Update to latest embOS generic sources V4.36.

Version 4.34 [28. Mar 2017]

New Features

  1. Update to latest embOS generic sources V4.34.

Program corrections

  1. Corrected automatic state preservation during OS_Idle() with Cortex M4F/M7F.
    Under certain circumstances, automatic state preservation and restoration could erroneously be enabled during OS_Idle(). The problem existed since version 4.22 of embOS for Cortex-M and GCC/emIDE and is fixed with version 4.34.

Version 4.26 [13. Sep 2016]

New Features

  1. Update to latest embOS generic sources V4.26.

Version 4.22 [14. Jun 2016]

New Features

  1. Update to latest embOS generic sources V4.22.
  2. VFP register handling is now automatically performed by embOS. embOS API functions OS_ExtendTaskContext_VFP(), OS_VFP_Save(), OS_VFP_Restore(), and OS_ExtendTaskContext_TLS_VFP() are deprecated. Compatibility with older embOS versions is ensured through macro definitions.
  3. New start project for SEGGER emPower added.

Improvements

  1. Additional debug check for task termination added.

Program corrections

  1. Applied workaround for interrupt handling with Cortex-M7 r0p1. Erratum 837070, ARM-EPM-064408: Increasing priority using a write to BASEPRI does not take effect immediately. Appropriate workaround was applied. The problem, which is exclusive for Cortex-M7 r0p1, existed on all previous versions of embOS Cortex M GCC / emIDE and is fixed with version 4.22.

Version 4.16 [11. Feb 2016]

New Features

  1. Update to latest embOS generic sources V4.16.
  2. SEGGER Real Time Transfer added to all projects.
  3. SEGGER SystemView added to all projects. The Segger SystemView User Guide is available at www.segger.com.
  4. Advanced HardFault Handler added to all projects.

Version 4.12 [27. Aug 2015]

New Features

  1. Update to latest embOS generic sources V4.12.

Version 4.06b [02. Apr 2015]

New Features

  1. Update to latest embOS generic sources V4.06b.

Program corrections

  1. Task switch fixed. A problem with the task switch could cause that a task was not activated at once when it was triggered by an interrupt. The problem existed on all previous versions of embOS Cortex M GCC / emIDE and is fixed with version 4.06b.

Version 4.04a [04. Dec 2014]

New Features

  1. Update to latest embOS generic sources V4.04a.

Program corrections

  1. OS_LeaveNestableInterrupt() fixed. A problem with OS_LeaveNestableInterrupt() could cause that a task switch which was triggered by an interrupt routine which interrupted another interrupt routine was not executed. The problem existed on all previous versions of embOS Cortex M GGC emIDE and is fixed with version 4.04a.

Version 4.00 [01. Jul 2014]

New Features

  1. Update to latest embOS generic sources V4.00.
  2. New start project for TI TM4C129 added.

Version 3.88g [06. Dec 2013]

New Features

  1. Update to latest embOS generic sources V3.88g.
  2. Several start projects added.

Version 3.88f [24. Sep 2013]

New Features
