News

The eTPU Code Builder has been improved and brought back online after a several-year absence. Using standard eTPU functions? - put the most highly optimizing eTPU compiler to work for you!

DevTool Version 2.72 Build D (2020-Jul-14) is now available!  This 2.72 release includes a huge number of improvements and a number of bug fixes - here's a sampling:

• Added support for arrays (including multi-dimensional) in the scripting language.
• For MC33816, added an H-bridge and other external circuit models, and enabled trace capabilities.
• In System DevTool, the CPU32 target support had been enhanced by providing a convenient internal build capability, allowing this target to behave more like a generic host CPU for system and host API testing.
• Fixed a number of useability issues.

The release package also contains a new ETEC C Compiler Version 2.62 Build D with multiple enhancements that can lead to improved executable code efficiency, including:

• Targeted particularly at motor control applications, provide the ability to use angle mode registers (TPR, TRR) or unused counter registers (most likely TCR2) for general purposes. Use of this new feature can lead to more optimal executable code and decreased use of stack or scratchpad memory.
• Improved support for 'inline' functions which can lead to reduced worst-case thread lengths, while keeping code more modular and maintainable.

See the release notes for all the details.
