They are causing more trouble than they are worth. With all the spammers hitting it, we just don't have the resource to deal with it. The forum's sole purpose is for the users to upload sample code. One way to do this is to utilize the new database backend on our new website. The webmistress can set up a page such that she does not need to modify it as new sample files are uploaded with the description and link being pulled out from the database. The users can send me the sample codes directly and I can upload them. Comments? Suggestions? // richard From richard at imagecraft.com Mon Feb 5 16:47:15 2007 From: richard at imagecraft.com (Richard) Date: Mon Feb 5 16:54:53 2007 Subject: [Icc-announce] ImageCraft vacation Feb 15 to Feb 26 Message-ID: <6.1.0.6.2.20070205164248.079092f8@192.168.100.42> ImageCraft office will be closed between Feb 15 to the 26th.

No > 64K addressing supported yet (TBD later in ADV/PRO versions). Compiler - Further improvement to 32 bit == != code (thanks to Kirk Bailey) - Interface to the 32 bit internal functions for longs and floating point now use R12/R13 in addition to R14/R15 for argument passing, resulting in smaller and faster code. To function names are slightly changed with the addition of a "x" suffix so any attempt to link with older libraries would correctly fail. Library - faster structure copying and str*/mem* functions TI DLL for flash programming and debugging - upgraded to the latest 2.8.1 of the MSP430.DLL and HIL.DLL Documentation - Fixed documentation to list R8/9 as volatile registers and not preserved registers // richard On-line orders, support, and listservers available on web site.

Fixed. - The AppBuilder now uses symbolic vector numbers defined in the io???v.h for the interrupt handlers (thanks to JA) - the IDE did not use the correct startup files for M8515 with external 64K SRAM. Compiler - If an ISR calls a function, the compiler used to save/restore all registers. However, if the called function(s) obey the normal calling convention as documented in the Help file on "Calling Convention and Assembler Interface," then this is wasteful. The compiler now saves and restores only the registers an ISR uses. Since all C functions obey the calling convention and an assembler routine can be written easily to follow the convention, this change should improve ISR performance. Probably in all cases, no user code change is needed. Linker - 7.10B support for -e: introduced two problems with the Code Compressor: == the linker incorrectly generated extra HEX data if the Code Compressor is selected and if the "Fill Unused ROM with Bytes" option is on. == an off by one error occasionally caused a spurious error message "...Trying to write to absolute location 0x??? but it already contains a value." Both problems are now fixed. // richard On-line orders, support, and listservers available on web site.
