ARMwizard V3.1.0 update

Started by Alexan_e May 25, 2012
What is new in v3.1.0

. Fixed: The max operating frequency for the ADC peripheral in LPC175x/6x was 14MHz instead of 13MHz [nxp41306 in LPCware.com]
. Fixed: In the interrupt initalization of Cortex M0 the priority setting is now placed before enabling the interrupt.
. Fixed: The Interrupt priority comment was wrong, the priority level for CortexM0 is 0(highest) to 3(lowest).
. Added profiles for LPC11xx_(33p) LPC11xx33/101, LPC11xx33/201, LPC11xx33/301 (33 pin)
. Added profiles for LPC11xx_(48p) LPC11xx48/101, LPC11xx48/201, LPC11xx48/301 (48 pin)
. Added profiles for LPC11Lxx_(33p) LPC11xx33/102, LPC11xx33/202, LPC11xx33/302 (33 pin)
. Added profiles for LPC11Lxx_(48p) LPC11xx48/102, LPC11xx48/202, LPC11xx48/302 (48 pin)
. Added profiles for LPC11XLxx_(33p) LPC11xx33/103, LPC11xx33/203, LPC11xx33/303, LPC11xx33/323, LPC11xx33/333 (33 pin)

. Added profiles for LPC11C12_14_(48p) LPC11C12, LPC11C14 (48 pin)
. Added profiles for LPC11C22_24_(48p) LPC11C22, LPC11C24 (48 pin)
. Added profiles for LPC11Exx_(33p) LPC11E11, LPC11E14 (33 pin)
. Added profiles for LPC11Exx_(48p) LPC11E12, LPC11E13, LPC11E14 (48 pin)
. Added profiles for LPC11Exx_(64p) LPC11E14 (64 pin)
. Added profile for mbed LPC11U24 board (LPC11U24_MBED) including an image with the board pinout.The Led pins (0.8, 0.9, 0.10, 0.11) are set as output only and the two UART pins (0.18, 0.19) connected internally to the USB uart emulator are inputs with only the uart alternative function available. I have also removed the OD, HYS, INV and pull up/down modes from these pins.

Whilst this may well be a fantastic tool, announcing it on the LPC2k mailing
list, along with what's changed, is starting to irritate. For those
interested, you offer an RSS feed. RAL doesn't broadcast the fact that it
has updated CrossWorks or LPC packages to this group, we just update our
feeds. Discussions of ARMwizard are totally on-topic, for sure.

Just my $0.02.

Totally agree. I feel that these frequent ARMWizard release announcements reduce the S/N ratio of the group.

I actually *wouldn't* object to release announcements from Rowley, IAR, etc. since they do major releases only ~2 times a year, and these tools are probably much more widely used than ARMWizard, but it's cool that these companies don't even do that.

Just my 2 cents.

Hi

I'm not sure what to say... it was never my intention to irritate anyone, I just wanted to inform about the update.
I worked hard in the last week to add all of these new models and I was very excited to introduce this update but now I'm really wondering if there is a point to all the effort I put in when even the news of an update is considered annoying.
Since my update notifications are not wanted I will not post them in the future.

By the way, my update posts in the last year were on the following dates:

31/5/11
1/6/11
2/9/11
3/9/11
26/3/12
30/4/12
3/5/12
20/5/12
25/5/12

The total count is nine post including the one I made today, does this create so much "noise" as noltstein puts it?

I would try to defend a little bit Alexander's positon.

First of all I think he made a quite good tool, someone should like it,
someone should not but he make an interesting tool more or less free, he
leave us free to donate some money and he also inform us just with a
link on his web site.
And secondary I think he didn't anything different from me and a lot of
others when we post an announcement, a delivery information and so on,
let me explain a little better.

I should agree that if he was using this group to make business in the
most pure form that means "make money" I should say that Alexander is
not using correctly the group.

I can say also that when we write about the xyz tool instead of XYZ tool
we are giving opinions that may influence some people to buy or not one
of them, so this more or less in its meaning is marketing.

There are also some engineers working in the embedded tool market giving
free help to the group and also a good group of consultants (as I),
marketing people of NXP and so on that some time posted (I hope useful)
announcements about delivery time, prices, comparing products from
different vendors, proposing one product instead of an other and also
they don't make a direct business. This doesn't mean that NXP and others
don't sell they products but they post here some informations that we
should ask to area customer services or distributors. This works well
for consultants and employed people but students, embedded fans and
hobbyists rarely can.

Personally I give here my help for free and I think to be in a position
to say that I didn't make a cent in this way, for me is a question of
ethycs so I am not a fan of Alexander's business as I am not a fan of
every other engineer's business here and I don't like also small
hypocrisy. Do you really think that he posted here announcement to make
a lot of money? I think he likes the tool he did and he would say us
that he seriously enhance and correct is tool. Is this so wrong?

So, considering that Alexander made a free useful tool with a relevant
interest to the group I should suggest to agree that Alexander and
others may send some advices not too frequently. May we agree they can
post advices only for major updates and for critical bug fixing? Is this
an achievable "gentleman agreement"?

I have been observing this forum for over a year, since I have created
multiple designs on Arm CPUs (lpc2xxx, .), and use various tools.

The number of posts Alexan_e has sent is not extreme, the information is
useful, the work Alexan_e has done is appreciated by many.

I would recommend that Alexan_e just be conscious that other entities may:

Not be interested in reading about your e-mail (considered spam)

be opposed to your tool

consider your e-mails to this forum as advertising, which is not the intent
of this forum

1 brief e-mail a month, with "new" insight "bullets" from any "tool"
provider to this forum, is beneficial to the community. Rapid Prototyping,
first to market and the knowledge of diversified approaches is beneficial to
all.

The upset few, can hit the delete key, and or set your e-mail to spam if
they are that offended.

Hi Alex

> I'm not sure what to say... it was never my intention to irritate anyone, I just wanted to inform about the update.

I understand Paul's comment this way: A simple:

"Hey, I made a new major version, check "

is ok, but it is (at least for me) annoying if someone posts a long list
of things that have been changed if the product is of nooo interest to me.

Welli, well. One can hit DEL, but hey even in the days of HTML-email,
being a bit sensible about email-contents/size would do good.

Precisely. As I said in the original e-mail, yakking about what ARMwizard does and how it does it, the interactions with NXP and so on, is all 100% on-topic and useful and technically relevant. Rather than duplicate the information in an e-mail, direct readers with a URL. Those really interested will add your RSS feed to be kept up to date.

I appreciate talk about anything. However, the announcements, even though non-commercial, have that whiff about them. Even though we have customers that are members of this group, I don't make announcements here--we have other channels for that.

But, hey, it's just one guy's opinion. You're free to do whatever you want. Leon uses a pretty light touch, and there are a lot of members here that give their time and expertise for free (you know who you are), and self-moderation is working pretty well in this group.

Regards,

I'm just saying that it has started to irritate me given the density of announcements lately.

A simple one-liner announcing the new version with a URL to the feature list would seem best. My personal opinion of the tool is neither here nor there, your work is appreciated by others here. I absolutely will defend the right to talk about ARMwizard all you like in this group as that is wholly on topic. Dropping into conversation that you've fixed something and made a new version, on report of an issue, is on message too.

I think you're missing the point that you have done (effectively) one announcement per week for the last month. The frequency of announcements is increasing and, if you keep fixing and enhancing, one can only assume the announcement frequency will remain once a week during development...
