Bug fixed

1.0.2

Install / General

• Desktop/Start menu shortcuts added for all users
• Online update site available for software update
• "Out of memory" error fixed

Build system / Open AT Projects management

• Build errors fixed with ARM ELF GCC & MinGW under Windows Vista
• Remove useless Release configuration for application projects in RTE mode
• Default configurations at project creation time are new Target ARM ELF GCC and RTE MinGW

Target management

• DUMP frames sent by the Firmware were not correctly decoded

Run & Debug

• Launch configurations (Run/Debug) can be simply created by using the Run/Debug toolbar button
• Automatic switch to Target Management perspective when running a project in RTE

1.0.1

Install

• Desktop/Start menu shortcuts added by the M2M Studio light installer
• Windows Vista support issues

Build system / Open AT Projects management

• No need anymore to take care about the libraries order on the ARM ELF GCC linker command line
• Some plug-ins samples (e.g. from C-GPS plug-in) dependencies to other plug-ins not correctly managed
• It was not possible to change the current OS version in a library project
• Bad symbol name generation for C-GPS plug-in (makes the build fail with ARM compilers)
• Incremental build was not working (relink of the application was performed on each build request)
• Added by default the -fno-profile option on ARM ELF GCC compiler command line
• IDE V1 project import was not working when source paths out of the project directory were referenced
• IDE V1 library project import was not working
• IDE V1 project import did not import symbols declared with the -flag option
• Several issues fixed concerning IDE V1 projects import depending on library projects

Target management

• Target Management Toolbar icons strange behaviour when an automatic build is triggered
• Empty trace levels configuration box after an undetected target reset
• Traces containing a %u format character not correctly displayed
• COM port identifier not correctly configured if greater than 9
• Target management doesn't go anymore to "connected" state if the COM settings are incorrect
• New toolbar button in the trace view usable to force the target back to Debug after an undetected reset

Known limitations & bugs

Generic

• Needs an external Java environment previously installed (JAVA 1.6) when using the installer. Once installed, M2M Studio is standalone

Build system / Open AT Projects management

• Linker settings are corrupted when importing a project created with M2M Studio 1.0.0
• M2M Studio created project cannot be built after import if it has dependencies on other workspace projects
• Paths with space characters are not supported
• ARM ELF GCC / MinGW build fails if path to SPM Registry is too long (>~100 characters, ie. workspace path >~50 characters with default settings)
• Library projects dependencies are not managed automatically
• No synchronization check between the Open AT Firmware version used in a project, and the one running on the connected Wireless CPU

Target management

• M2M Studio sometimes crash suddenly on operations related to Target management (connect, baudrate autodetection, download)
  Seems to be related to USB-Serial converter usage
• Backtraces decoding is not supported
• Heap memory status does not contain links to source code
• Trace logging is disabled as soon as the target resets
• Baudrate autodetection is not configurable
• Target info view is not automatically refreshed

Run & Debug

• JTAG Debug relies on third-party non-integrated software (Open OCD)
• JTAG Debug works only is the download step is skipped in the Run configuration
• No check if the connected Wireless CPU is "JTAG-able"
• Breakpoints cannot be added during a debug session while the program is running (they have to be added when the execution has stopped on another breakpoint)
