GNU ARM Eclipse plug-ins v1.8.1-201401111229 released

Posted on January 11, 2014 by Liviu Ionescu.

The main changes are the addition of the STM32F0x templates, the possibility to use the plug-in even for non-managed (Makefile) projects, and the possibility to use the internal builder (except for generating the listing file).

New features:

• [feature-request:#23] the STM32F0x template was added.

Bugs:

• [bugs:#71] the STM32F4x family has different ram sizes; the template was updated to automatically generate the correct mem.ld file
• [bugs:#72] the FPU Type configuration, when automatically set by a change to FP hard in FPU ABI, was not persistent; fixed
• [bugs:#73] the latest version of newlib, packed with GCC 4.8, makes use of __end__, which was not defined in the STM32Fx templates; __end__ and __end were added to sections.ld
• [bugs:#74] the values of -T "script.ld" are always quoted, even on Unix
• changing toolchains in the Eclipse toolchain editor is now functional, even from an empty toolchain (project generated by ProcessorExpert).

New features:

• the Toolchain settings tab in the C/C++ settings section is now visible even for non-mananged (Makefile) projects, to allow the configuration of the toolchain used by the indexer.

Other changes:

• the structure of the projects generated from the STM32Fxx templates was simplified, only the src and the libs folders are marked as sources
• [support-requests:#35] the STM32F4x template was updated to use the v1.3.0 standard peripheral library from STM
• more explanations regarding the tracing environment were added as comments in trace_impl.h
• by default the listing file is no longer created, to reduce the build time
• the version scheme changed, the minor number is now increased with each release
  • site increased from 1.1.7 to 1.8.1
  • cross increased from 1.1.6 to 1.7.1
  • stm increased from 1.1.5 to 1.6.1
  • template core renamed from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1
