Release Notes

Full details on the release (features, known issues...)

The product is based on Eclipse 2023-12

- A new command-line argument ( -UpdateCode) has been added. It performs the same action as the Update Code button in the user interface. It must be used with -HeadlessTool.
- The command-line argument -CreateFromProject is improved, it no longer requires the -HeadlessTool argument and opens the toolchain project in the UI.
- The command-line arguments -CreateFromProject and -ImportProject are improved. They no longer allow setting the toolchain project file path (for example, *.cbuild-gen-idx.yml, *.uvprojx, *.ewp, CMakeLists.txt) directly.

TEE
– The query for pins labels and routed signals is updated to work on the new NPI.
– Global tool options now support enum, boolean, and string with the ability to define the regex validator.
– Access templates are now greyed out when the global ones are used.
– The legacy source names option is disabled when ROM output is selected.
– MPU tabs are now sorted by top domain index and then alphabetically.
– The correct representation of TRDC domains is implemented by removing mix domains.
– Peripheral areas are now correctly stored within the correct tab.
– The side-channel attack warning is added to the RAM security settings.
– The Trigger tab for configuration of the ITRC register RW fields is added.

PLU
– Minor bug fixes

Peripherals
– Support for unique identification of configuration components is finished.
– Support for settings with indentation, but no label content is added.

Pins
– Simultaneous routing detection (routing of one signal may result in multiple signals being routed based on the same register settings) is added. In that case, such signals are offered to be added into the configuration.
– Support of internal pins that are not available on the package is added.

Clocks
– Creation of the clock model has been accelerated.

Open-CMSIS generator
– The open-CMSIS solution is supported as a new toolchain.
– The generation of the .cgen.yml file is supported.
– The generation of new source files inside the project output folder is supported.
– The location of the MEX file inside the project output folder is supported.
