Release notes for embOS V5.16.1.0 for MSP430 and IAR

New Features

1. Update to latest embOS generic sources V5.16.1.

New Features

1. Update to latest embOS generic sources V5.12.0.

New Features

1. Update to latest embOS generic sources V4.16.
2. New start project for TI MSP430F5659 added.

New Features

1. New embOS sources V3.86n

New Features

1. New embOS sources V3.86l

New Features

1. Update for EW430 V5.30
2. New embOS sources V3.84

Improvements

1. CSpy simulation macros modified to be usable with EW430 V5.30
   The new IAR workbench V5.30 requires modified definition of interrupt simulation to accept simulated interrupts. The previous definitions in the simulation macros did not trigger the simulated interrupts.

New Features

1. IAR DLIB support added.
   embOS for MSP 430 now comes with libraries for the IAR DLIB as well as for the IAR CLIB. The previous version 3.82s came with libraries for DLIB only. The new version uses libraries for CLIB per default as versions prior V3.82s did.

New Features

1. Update to new embOS sources 3.82s.
2. BSP for MSP430F5529 added.
3. Project structure changed.

Improvements

1. Project structure changed.

New Features

1. Update to new embOS sources 3.82n

New Features

1. Uart initialization for XMS430F5438 corrected.

Improvements

1. Workaround for XMS CPU bug added.
   Some revisions of the XMS430F5xxx CPUs may fail after exction of status register update followed by specific commands when an interrupt is pending. One specific instruction will cause that the PC and SR register will be pushed twice, which will then cause the reti instruction to fail. Such behavior is described as CPU18 bug in the CPU errata sheets. Under other circumstances, it seemed that some instructions following the status register update are not executed. This might have caused an endless loop when the embOS scheduler was called with a pending interrupt condition. A workaround was found by modified interrupt enable and interrupt disable procedure which fixed the problem.

New Features

1. Update to new embOS sources 3.62c
2. Support for XMS430F5438 added
   embOS for MSP 430 now comes with a board support package and ready to go start project for the XMS430F5438 CPU. The start project and BSP may be used for other CPUs of the XMS family as well.

New Features

1. Update to new embOS sources 3.60a
