Dynamic C for Rabbit Release Notes

*****************************************************************
*****************************************************************
VERSION 10.62
NEW FEATURES
- TLS/SSL security is now available for use with any TCP/IP socket,
as a general facility, via the new sock_secure() and sock_unsecure()
API functions. Previously, TLS was only available as an internal
component when using the HTTP server library, or as part of WiFi
authentication. It is now available for general use, in client
or server roles as applicable. HTTP, SMTP and POP3 are all
TLS-capable, with minor modifications to existing applications.
Once a socket is secured, the same set of API functions that are used
for ordinary TCP sockets may be used with the secure socket. This
makes it very easy to convert an existing TCP socket application to
use SSL/TLS for enhanced security.
The TLS/SSL API is compatible with products that have more than 128k
of RAM and a Rabbit 4000 or newer CPU.
- TCP/IP client libraries HTTP_CLIENT.LIB, SMTP.LIB and POP3.LIB now
support TLS encryption. HTTP client supports the "https://"
scheme. SMTP allows use of the STARTTLS command (RFC 3207), and
POP3 allows use of POP3 tunneled via a TLS connection. New
sample programs demonstrate the TLS features of these libraries.
See:
samples\tcpip\http\https_client.c
samples\tcpip\http\https_client_nb.c
samples\tcpip\pop3\pop_tls.c
samples\tcpip\smtp\smtp_tls.c
- Function pointer prototypes with parameters are now allowed
and type-checked in Dynamic C.
- Addition of __FUNCTION__ macro, which is defined to a string
literal containing the name of the surrounding function (it
is not defined outside of functions).
- HTTP_CLIENT.LIB now supports redirection (3xx response codes from
HTTP servers may be handled transparently to the application), plus
non-blocking open and close of HTTP client connections are now
supported.
- Serial library (RS232.LIB) now supports far buffers for reading
and writing data. You need to update your code if you use
function pointers to call serXread, serXputs, serXwrite,
cof_serXgets, cof_serXread, cof_serXputs, cof_serXwrite or the
equivalent functions with X replaced by A-F. Update your
function pointer prototypes to include parameters, or upcast
pointer parameters to far in the function pointer calls.
Example:
char buffer[32]; // buffer in root or on stack
int (*ser_read1)();
int (*ser_read2( void far *, int, unsigned long);
int (*ser_puts1)();
int (*ser_puts2)( void far *);
serDread( buffer, 32, 0);
// OK
ser_read1 = serDread;
ser_read1( buffer, 32, 0);
// BAD
ser_read1( (char far *) buffer, 32, 0); // OK
ser_read2 = serDread;
ser_read2( buffer, 32, 0);
// OK
ser_puts1 = serDputs;
ser_puts1( "Test");
// BAD
ser_puts1( (char far *) "Test");
// OK
ser_puts2 = serDputs;
ser_puts2( "Test");
// OK
- Added power-fail safe option to Remote Program Update on boards
that boot from serial flash. Define BU_ENABLE_SECONDARY in
the project defines to enable the feature. View Samples\
RemoteProgramUpdate\download_firmware.c for an example of how
it is used.
- Some functions from Remote Program Update API are now available
on all boards (e.g., buOpenFirmwareBoot, buOpenFirmwareRunning,
buVerifyFirmware).
See Samples\RemoteProgramUpdate\verify_firmware.c for examples
on how to use the API to check for corruption of boot firmware
or firmware running in RAM.
- Added Samples\tcpip\http\Twitter.c to demonstrate use of http
client library to post status updates to Twitter.
- RS232.LIB adds ser[A-F]txBreak functions for generating character
(or longer) breaks by holding the transmit pin low.
- RS232.LIB adds serXfastwrite for partial writes to the serial
transmit buffer. serXwrite continues to block until all bytes
have been copied to the buffer.
- serXparity can configure a port for 1 or 2 stop bits, in addition
to even/odd/mark/space/no parity bit.
BUG FIXES
Compiler Bugs
- Defect #21410. Modifier "xmem" on a variable was ignored
without warning.
- Defect #21586. Stack imbalance was generated when directly
returning the return value of a function returning struct.
- Defect #21715. Certain pragmas would cause incorrect syntax
errors in #asm blocks.
- Defect #21794. Comments were not handled correctly in some
statements where a '\\' character occured, resulting in
strange syntax errors.
- Defect #21821. Dynamic C did not catch missing commas between
initializer blocks (sub-initializers) in the initializer lists
for arrays and structs.
- Defect #32282. Map file root data info did not match the org
file in some cases.
GUI Bugs
- Defect #32027. GUI did not allow compilation of default source
file (Compiler Options->Advanced) if no editor window was open.
- Fixed Help Menu bugs related to having spaces in the Dynamic C
pathname. I/O Registers item now works correctly on systems
where the default web browser isn't Internet Explorer.
Debugger Bugs
- Defect #21625. Run-time exceptions did not always show the
correct line and file information. Run-time exceptions now
display the file, function, and line information when available,
and the address of the exception otherwise.
- Debug evaluation of expressions containing string literals now
gives correct results.
Library Bugs
- Defect #20900. In certain cases, the UDP library wasn't releasing
a bad ARP table handle.
- Defect #21640. Stack(s) are now allocated more space-
efficiently, using _xalloc's alignment capability. Also, the
correct value is assigned to the global BaseOfStacks1 variable.
- Defect #21940. In RabbitWeb, a POST without variables could result
in a "403 Forbidden" server response.
- Defect #26368. DMA.LIB's mem2ioe, mem2ioi, ioe2mem and ioi2mem
functions now set up the I/O DMA source or destination flags
correctly.
- Defect #31459. The sprintf/printf ragged left justification
plus associated possible buffer overflow can no longer occur.
- Defect #32272. Fixed bug in SNMP library introduced in 10.54.
- Defect #32281. FTP_CLIENT.LIB is updated to work with the IIS
FTP server by discarding any extra arguments in the response
to Rabbit's QUIT.
- Defect #32426. Packet receive is no longer attempted on
powered-down polled network interfaces. In particular, WiFi
boards' powerdown.c samples now work as expected when
IFC_WIFI_WPA_PSK_HEXSTR is appropriately defined.
- Defect #32434. SDFLASH.LIB's sdspi_get_csd() function now
supports SD cards whose CSD block uses CRC7 instead of CRC16.
- Defect #32470. Serial data flash sizes in SFLASH.LIB's
sf_devtable[] information array now reflect the full number of
pages on each of the supported devices.
- Defect #31863. Updated TextBorderInit() to accept either NULL
or an empty string for no title.
- Defect #30862. Updated documentation in tcp_config.lib for the
case where an access point is set to TKIP OR CCMP.
- Defect #32032. Fixed error "Internal error Assertion "false"
failed in file COMPCORE\CC_IA.CPP, line 627"
OTHER FUNCTIONAL CHANGES
- Serial library ISRs (interrupt service routines) updated for
increased reliability and better performance. Rabbit processor
should handle higher baud rates and use less CPU time to manage
serial data.
- RS232.LIB now uses more efficient thresholds for controlling the
RTS pin when using hardware flow control.
- Calling serXread with a timeout of 0ms no longer copies bytes
received during the function call (a problem at higher baud rates).
- STDIO.LIB adds getsn(), a length-limited version of gets().
Updated getswf() keeps the user's input null-terminated so caller
can re-print it if necessary.
- buDownloadTick (board_update.lib) now returns error -ENODATA on
0-byte download.
- ifconfig(...IFS_NAMESERVER_ADD...) allows zero nameserver address,
which is ignored.
- HTTPS server improved tear-down code to eliminate possible delays
at the client (browser) sode.
- Added gethostid_iface() function to return local IP address of
specified interface (instead of just the default interface).
- Added ability to dynamically allocate TCP socket buffers using
_sys_malloc(). This feature is enabled by calling tcp_extopen()
or tcp_extlisten() with a NULL buffer parameter, but a non-zero
buffer length parameter. The buffers are freed when the socket
is closed. See the function descriptions for details.
- URL.LIB now supports all far strings.
DEPRECATED FEATURES
- Some macros and functions have been removed from the TCP/IP
libraries. The following macros have been removed, but may be
added back if [#define _DC10_LEGACY] is placed before [#use
"dcrtcp.lib"]:
#define MAXINT 0x7fff // Use stdc INT_MAX instead
// Use functions (i_min, i_max, u_min, u_max,
// long_min, long_max, ulong_min, ulong_max)
// Functions are as good or faster than macros in this case.
#define min(X,Y) (((X)<=(Y))?(X):(Y))
#define max(X,Y) (((X)>=(Y))?(X):(Y))
// Use memcpy()
#define movmem(X,Y,Z) memcpy((Y),(X),(Z))
#define FP_OFF(X) ((unsigned int)X)
// These already defined
#define TRUE 1
#define true TRUE
#define FALSE 0
#define false FALSE
// These have been deprecated a long time
#define my_ip_addr _if_tab[IF_DEFAULT].ipaddr
#define sin_mask _if_tab[IF_DEFAULT].mask
#define _mtu _if_tab[IF_DEFAULT].mtu
#define multihomes 0 // never did this (can use virtual ethernets)
- Following functions and macros removed. These have been deprecated
for a long time, and have replacements as noted.
tcp_config() // function removed, see ifconfig()
rip() // no replacement.
_add_server() // function removed, see servlist.lib.
sethostid() // Use ifconfig().
- Following undocumented functions and macros removed:
tcp_checkfor, tcp_shutdown, tcp_set_ports, tcp_get_ports,
sock_sselect, sock_debugdump, debugpsocketlen, sem_up,
sock_stats, sock_stats_reset, tcp_set_debug_state
Following were visible for sock_sselect routine return values:
#define SOCKESTABLISHED 1
#define SOCKDATAREADY 2
#define SOCKCLOSED 4
A number of macros and function related to IP fragmentation
support were removed, since these were non-functional.
_cookie, _last_cookie - unused variables.
*****************************************************************
VERSION 10.60
NEW FEATURES
- #include. In addition to Dynamic C's #use (which is designed to
work with specially formatted source files), Dynamic C 10.60
introduces the standard C #include, which follows the ANSI
C 1989/ISO C 1990 specification.
- Multiple C file projects. The new Project Explorer Window allows
for the creation of projects utilizing multiple C files, and
several menu options have been added to allow compilation of
the current project.
- Variable initializer support
Variables can now be initialized when they are declared. For
example,
void foo(int bar) {
int i = 0, j = bar * 2;
struct FOO {float pi, e, sqrt2;} fvals =
{3.14159, 2.71828, 1.41421};
static far char carray[] = "String literal initializer";
...
}
Variable initialization follows the ANSI C 1989/ISO C 1990
specification:
- Simple variables (numeric types and pointers) can be initialized
with any expression that evaluates to the correct type.
- Initializers for aggregate types (structs, arrays, unions) may
only contain constants that are known at compile time.
- Initializers for auto (non-static local) variables are evaluated
at each function entry.
- Initializers for static and global variables are evaluated once
at boot (much like Dynamic C's #GLOBAL_INIT statements).
- Preprocessor support for "defined" keyword
The "defined" keyword can be used in #if/#elif expressions to
determine whether a macro is already defined. If MACRO is
defined, "defined MACRO" evaluates to 1, otherwise it evaluates
to 0. The macro can be optionally surrounded by parentheses for
clarity.
- Added library, sample and Windows utilities demonstrating ADDP
(Advanced Device Discovery Protocol), a UDP multicast protocol
used for discoverying and configuring devices on a LAN. Look
at Samples/tcpip/addp.c for sample Rabbit code using the ADDP
server library, and the folder Utilities/ADDP for programs and
a DLL for running an ADDP client under Windows.
- Added support for automatic selection of a link-local IP
address (169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255) as a fallback when
DHCP is not available, or for zero-configuration static IP
networks. Inclue [#define USE_LINKLOCAL] in your program
before [#use "dcrtcp.lib"], and then use any 169.254.x.x address
for a static IP or DHCP fallback IP. The Rabbit will
automatically select an available, valid address as outlined in
RFC 3927.
- MiniCore RCM5650W support added. The MiniCore RCM5650W uses a
4MB serial boot flash in place of the 1MB flash used on the
RCM5600W. Using the API from sflash.lib, 3MB are available
for data storage. See sample programs in Samples\RCM5600W.
- Several new commands are available on the File menu. In addition
to the "Open..." command, separate "Open Source File..." and
"Open Library..." commands are available to specifically open
.c and .lib files respectively. Also, a recently used list
of projects is now available under File | Project. Choosing
a project from the list will cause the current project to
close and the selected project to open.
- The default width and height for new editor windows can now be
set on the Display tab of the Environment Options dialog box.
- "Time Stamp Each Run" is a new checkbox that helps to clearly
identify different runs in logged stdio output by placing a
timestamp between each run in the log file. This checkbox
is in the stdio options on the Debug Windows tab of the
Environment Options dialog.
BUG FIXES
Compiler Bugs
- Defect #27144. Bounds checking now allows access to the null-terminator
of a string literal using direct array indexing.
- Defect #30578. Constant arithmetic operations on characters now result
in an expression of integral type.
- Defect #30588. When indexing a string literal directly, array bounds
checking had an off-by-one error according to the ANSI C spec treatment
of string literals.
- Defect #31381. Sizeof incorrectly returned the size of a pointer
when string literal optimization was on. Sizeof now correctly returns
the size of the string literal in this case.
- Defect #31446, #31076: Far pointer in near const array gets wrong
value. Pointers in arrays were being initialized according to the
storage of the array, not the storage of the dereferenced object.
Pointer values now correctly correspond to the dereferenced object.
- Defect #31227, #31189: Const far static local variable in watch
expression is wrong, or breaks watch expressions. Local far and
const variables are now evaluated correctly in watch expressions,
flyovers, and the expression evaluation dialog.
- Defect #25812: Compile time array bounds checking is wrong.
Compile time array bounds checking now issues a warning instead of
an error, and checks both lower and upper bound.
- Defect #21373: Correct problems with \u in string literals and
escaped characters in assembly character literals.
Library Bugs
- TCP/IP stack no longer classifies ARP packets with a source address
of 0.0.0.0 as an IP conflict.
- Defect #29565: LIMITS.H incorrectly defined INT_MIN and SHRT_MIN
as -32,767 and LONG_MIN as -2,147,483,647. All three macros are
now correctly defined as the most-negative value that can be
represented by each data type. INT_MIN and SHRT_MIN (16-bit
integer) evaluate to -32,768 and LONG_MIN (32-bit integer)
evaluates to -2,147,483,648. This corrects a bug in RabbitWeb
and ZServer where it was impossible to set an integer to -32,768
or a long to -2,147,483,648.
- Defect #31404: Fixed memory leak when using RabbitWeb and calling
http_shutdown(0) and then http_init() to take HTTP server down and up.
- Defect #31442 fixed. After bringing down a PPP interface, all
far buffer pointers are now correctly freed to prevent buffer
allocation problems when bringing the PPP interface back up.
- Defect #31780 fixed. Multicast UDP sockets will continue to
receive packets after an interface goes down and comes back up.
Gui Bugs
- Defect #25072: Dynamic C will not compile or return to debug
mode (Shift+F5) if a read-only library file used in the program
is opened, modified and not saved while in debug mode.
- Defect #27207: The editor now treats the double quote and
backslash characters as delimiters. Double clicking on a
word surrounded by double quotes will no longer include
the quotes in the selection.
- Added to ASIX.LIB and extended in DMAETH100.LIB support for the
PD_NETWORK_MODE ioctl, which is now updated to accept -1 "Don't
change . . . setting" values for each of its Ethernet speed and
duplex setting parameters. See the pd_networkmode() online
function help for details.
- Applications can now specify additional data to append to ICMP
echo request packets ("ping"). See the documentation for
_send_ping_iface() for details.
DEPRECATED FEATURES
- Cloning is not supported on the RCM5750, RCM5760, and RCM5650W,
and is deprecated on all other Rabbit 4000 and Rabbit 5000 based
products. The Rabbit Field Utility (RFU) has been enhanced to
handle loading firmware onto many devices at once. Please use
RFU.exe located in the utilities directory instead of cloning.
*****************************************************************
VERSION 10.56
NEW FEATURES
- MiniCore RCM5750/RCM5760 support added. The MiniCore RCM5750
and RCM5760 add an additional 512k fast SRAM and a 2 MB serial
flash to the RCM5700 and RCM5710 respectively.
- The Rabbit Embedded Security Pack is now included with Dynamic C,
adding enterprise level Wi-Fi authentication, SSL, and AES to
the Dynamic C standard set of libraries.
BUG FIXES
Compiler Bugs
Library Bugs
- Defect #30649: ModemFWLoad.c now works with Separate I&D
enabled on an RCM4510W.
- Defect #30694: xbee_init can still initialize an XBee with
multiple buffered frames waiting at startup.
- Defect #30725: xbee_api.lib is now using correct maximum
payload size of 84 bytes (instead of 80) with ZigBee firmware.
- Defect #30799: Fixed compile errors in httpc_post-related
functions of http_client.lib.
*****************************************************************
VERSION 10.54
NEW FEATURES
- Remote Program Update library and samples added, used to update
boot firmware without having physical access to the hardware.
Supported on the RCM4200, RCM4300-series, RCM4400W-series,
RCM5400W-series, RCM5600W, BL4S100-series, BL4S200 and BL5S220.
Please read Application Note AN421 for details on the use
of this new functionality.
- Wi-Fi Enterprise Authentication is now supported. This feature
is sold separately in the Rabbit Embedded Security Pack.
- Added an HTTP client library with samples (http client.c,
dyndns.c added to Samples/tcpip/http).
- Added libraries and samples to download files from HTTP (web)
or FTP servers and store them on a FAT filesystem. See
Samples/tcpip/http/http2fat.c and Samples/tcpip/ftp/ftp2fat.c.
- FAT filesystem now supported on unused portion of RCM4400W
serial data flash and serial boot flash of BL4S100-series boards.
Since the RCM4400W uses part of the serial flash to bootstrap its
FPGA, you should ensure that your program does not try to access
the serial flash during the first call to sock_init(). If your
program has written to the flash before calling sock_init(), be
sure to spin on sf_isWriting() to ensure that the write is complete.
while (sf_isWriting()) {
// waiting for write to complete before calling sock_ini
t
}
sock_init();
BUG FIXES
Compiler Bugs
Library Bugs
- Fixed bug where FTP client library could fail on some
multi-line responses.
- Fixed compiler error message when using xbee_api.lib with
Rabbit 5000.
- Defect #26902: TCP/IP stack now uses a random starting value for
the local port on outbound socket connections. Previous behavior
of using a fixed value (1024) would cause failures when re-running
sample programs before remote server socket exited timewait state.
- Defect #27981: Replaced x[get|set][int|long|float] functions with
macros that use far pointer casts. Should result in improved
performance. Original functions are still available with an
underscore prefix (e.g., _xgetint() for xgetint()). New code
should make use of far pointers instead of these helper macros.
- Defect #28627: dc_timestamp global moved from BIOS to
PROGRAM.LIB and only compiled into programs if referenced in
user code. Also, dc_timestamp is now set to GMT instead of
GMT-0700. Note that macro _DC_GMT_TIMESTAMP_ is the preferred
method for referencing the compile timestamp within your program.
- Defect #28763 fixed. Improved baud calculations for pktXopen,
return value now allows for up to 5% error in calculated rate.
Fixed pktEopen (was using incorrect TATxR register). serXopen
and pktXopen functions now use a common set of functions for
setting timers.
- Defect #29709 fixed. User block writes to 16-bit (word write)
parallel flash that end with a single byte on an even address
boundary are now handled correctly.
- Defect #29707 fixed. Compile-time macro IFC_WIFI_RTS_THRESHOLD
was being ignored and IFC_WIFI_FRAG_THRESHOLD was used in its
place. Could cause misconfiguration if IFC_WIFI_FRAG_THRESHOLD
was set to a valid value for IFS_WIFI_RTS_THRESHOLD.
- Defect #29800: Fixed bugs in _f_strtol.
- Defect #30021: Fixed bugs in _f_strstr.
- Defect 30186 fixed. Boards equipped with ASIX Ethernet now
reliably recover link after a cable unplug, replug sequence.
Gui Bugs
Sample Program Bugs
- Defect #29097 fixed. The Samples\memory_usage.c standard sample
now reports the correct size of the interrupt vector tables
and the full 12-bit segment base value of logical addresses.
- Defect #29680 fixed. The Samples\UserBlock\userblock_read_write.c
standard sample program has been renamed to reserved_read_write.c
and updated to give a more informative error message when run on
any Rabbit board that does not have an area in its User block
that is reserved for calibration constants.
Debugger Bugs
Command Line Compiler Bugs
IOConfig Utility Bugs
Rabbit Field Utility (RFU) Bugs
- Defect #30269 fixed. The RFU window could appear off-screen when
launched on systems with multiple displays.
- Math-related libraries (fft.lib, math.lib, ecc.lib, rand.lib)
moved to "Math" subdirectory, along with new crc32.lib.
- SFLASH.LIB now contains default settings for each board type
(core module or SBC) that includes a serial flash. If using
your own serial flash device, you will need to set the
configuration macros in your program before loading sflash.lib.
- Added .pro files to Utilities\X-CTU with defaults for the
XBee-USB adapter, XBee modules connected to the RF board and
XBee modules connected to Rabbit core modules and SBCs.
- Support for FAT12 filesystems in FAT.LIB has been deprecated.
New partitions can only be formatted as FAT16, and FAT12
partitions can only be read if the macro FAT_FAT12 is defined.
- The RCM4XXX.LIB library was deprecated and its functions moved
into LOWPOWER.LIB.
*****************************************************************
VERSION 10.50
NEW FEATURES
- Supports the MiniCore RCM5600W core module
BUG FIXES
Compiler Bugs
Library Bugs
- Defect #28314 fixed. snprintf now always null-terminates the
buffer and it correctly returns the number of characters that
would have been copied to the buffer if it had been large enough.
- Defect #28392 fixed. Only Rabbit boards with > 1 MByte total
physical memory map have the "no_lcall" reserve memory org
allocated.
- Defect #28450 fixed. The size of the "user_block" reserve
memory org is now adjusted, if necessary, to suit each Rabbit
board type.
- Defect #28679 fixed. The _enableClockModulation() function now
correctly uses the CLOCK_DOUBLED macro value to determine the
appropriate spectrum spreader setting.
- Defect #28999 fixed. RabbitWeb was incorrectly using the string
"checked" instead of "selected" when generating option lists
(print_select zhtml command). Bug from 10.40 release.
Gui Bugs
Sample Program Bugs
Debugger Bugs
- The order of early output enable, clock doubler and spectrum
spreader set up has been optimized to follow:
1) if either or both of the clock doubler or spectrum
spreader is called for, enable early /OEx and /WEx output;
2) set up the clock doubler as directed;
3) set up the spectrum spreader as directed.

included in this release.
BUG FIXES
Compiler Bugs
Library Bugs
- Defect #22372 fixed. In RNET.LIB, the rn_find() function now
correctly supports searching for RabbitNet devices by specified
port(s).
- Defect #23055 fixed. HDLC_PACKET.LIB now uses HDLC_INT_LEVEL
for all ipset calls (some calls were hard-coded to 1).
- Defect #23787 fixed. XBEE_API.LIB now properly includes code
inclusion guards.
- Defect #23987 fixed. All multicast UDP frames that have a
destination address that the network stack is not listening for
are now properly dropped.
- Defect #24252 fixed. Switching between Wi-Fi encryption types
at runtime sometimes failed. This now works correctly.
- Defect #24366 fixed. TCP connections to peers with large
receive windows no longer time out or reset.
- Defect #25283 fixed. The XBEE_API.LIB's _zb_Alloc_apif()
function now returns NULL instead of 0 to eliminate a compile
time warning.
- Defect #25307 fixed. A PPP crash due to a possible stack
imbalance in SERLINK.LIB's common ISR has been eliminated.
- Defect #25369 fixed. Eliminated a compile time error due to
auto / const conflict in RCM4XXX.LIB's digInAlert() function.
- Defect #25452 fixed. The FTP server could prematurely abort
sending files of unknown size (e.g., if the file being sent is
being generated on-the-fly).
- Defect #25481 fixed. Rabbit 4000 Ethernet driver sometimes
stopped transmitting when there are a large number of collisions.
- Defect #26136 fixed. Wi-Fi interface's link LED and link status
(as reported by ifpending(), for example) now match. Also fixes
problem with the link not being reported as up when configured for
multiple encryption types but connecting to an open Access Point.
Note that in most cases, an incorrect encryption key will cause the
link to not come up; however, for WEP, the link will be reported as
being up even though the key is incorrect. This is because WEP
does not provide a way of determining that an incorrect key has
been used.
- Defect #26204 fixed. Incorrect #asm block accesses of the auto
int statusbyte variable in the Lib\RabbitNet\RNET_KEYIF.LIB
library's rn_keyProcess() function have been fixed. As a
result of this fix, the Samples\RabbitNet\RN1600\zmenu.c sample
in particular now works correctly when making keypad menu
selections.
- Defect #26587 fixed. For boards using the Rabbit's built-in
Ethernet MAC (RCM40xx), pd_powerdown() and pd_powerup() can now be
used to turn the MAC off and on.
- xbee_api.lib: zb_reply() now uses correct cluster ID in response.
Gui Bugs
Sample Program Bugs
- Defect #26509 fixed. WiFiScanAssociate.c will now switch Access
Points properly when the new AP has the same WPA passphrase but
different SSIDs as the old AP.
- Defect #24086 fixed. Fixed sleep time calculations in SleepMode
and SleepMode2 samples (in Samples/RCM4510W/ZigBee/).
- Defect #24093 fixed. The Samples\Rabbit4000\ic_test.c standard
sample program now scales its TAT8R register value
appropriately, based on the Rabbit board's actual freq_divider
value.
- Defect #25398 fixed. updpages.c and ftp_fat.c samples now work
with FTP clients (like FileZilla) that establish multiple,
simultaneous connections.
Debugger Bugs
- RCM4400W: The wifi_ioctl() function and related compile-time macros
used to configure the Wi-Fi interface have been deprecated. New
commands for ifconfig() replace the wifi_ioctl() commands; view the
ifconfig() function help for details on the new IFS_WIFI_* and
IFG_WIFI_* commands. View the function help for TCPCONFIG for
information on the new IFC_WIFI_* compile-time macros.
- Removed current versioning comments and macros from the
following former module libraries that are now bundled with
Dynamic C (deleted macro, affected libraries):
Modbus (_MODBUS_VERS, modbus_master.lib, modbus_slave.lib);
PPP (_PPP_VERS, chat.lib, modem.lib, ppp.lib, pppoe.lib);
RabbitWeb (_RABBITWEB_VERS, rabbitweb.lib, rweb_support.lib);
SNMP (_SNMP_VERS, mib.lib, snmp.lib);
uC/OS-2 (_UCOS2_VERS, os_cfg.lib, os_flag.c, os_mbox.c,
os_mem.c, os_mutex.c, os_q.c, os_sem.c, os_task.c, os_time.c,
ucos2.lib).
- XBee Libraries: created xbee_config.lib for configuration options.
- XBee Libraries: now passes payload length as second parameter to
end point functions (see updated Samples/ZigBee/EndPoint.c).
- XBee Libraries: Removed 1x18 firmware and added 1x41 firmware as
default.
- Utilities/X-CTU now includes the installer for X-CTU v5.1.0.0 and
ZNet 2.5 1x41 firmware.

BUG FIXES
Compiler Bugs
- Defect #21428 fixed. Structs of any size can now be added to the watch
window. The amount of data actually read from the target will be
limited by the size of Watch memory defined in the Environment Options.
- Defect #21442 fixed. Leading blanks are now ignored in lib.dir entries.
- Defect #21614 fixed. The memory leak in the Environment Options dialog
has been fixed.
- Defect #21773 fixed. Single step debug cursor placement for library code
had been off by the number of blank lines after the start of library
function descriptions.
- Defect #22027 fixed. Trailing blanks are now ignored in lib.dir entries.
- Defect #23043 fixed. WiFi ad-hoc beacon time reduced from ~26 seconds to
~100 ms.
- Defect #80867 fixed. The compiler now requires forward declared
cofunctions to be prototypes (This was actually fixed in 10.09).
Library Bugs
- Defect #20120 fixed. Defining USE_FAR_LIB_API was causing code crashes
on programs which enabled ethernet on 4xxx cores with ASIX hardware.
- Defect #20238 fixed. UCos-II samples (ucosdemo3.c, ucosdelreq.c,
JackRab\UCOSJRAB1.C) complain about overriding stub functions in the
library. Added pragmas that can be uncommented to quiet the warnings.
- Defect #20248 fixed. dhcp_check_lease did not have a case for
DHCP_ST_EXPIRED. Added.
- Defect #20417 fixed. Root (char *) promoted to (far char *) now prints
correctly when using printf("%ls", far_var).
- Defect #20472 fixed. PPP serial more reliable with bad link quality.
- Defect #20559 fixed. Grep dialog no longer stays on top when switching
to another application during a time consuming grep.
- Defect #20818 fixed. __con_convert_num_to_iface function was
updated to take into account that wifi interfaces are IF_WIFI0
and IF_WIFI1 and that the Rabbit 3k/4k have IF_PPP4 and IF_PPP5.
- Defect #20819 fixed. __con_convert_iface_to_num function was
updated to take into account that wifi interfaces are numeric
interfaces 2 & 3 so now PPPoE and PPP interfaces get moved down
2 spots. However, the zconsole.lib still does not support wifi
interfaces.
- Defect #20835 fixed. In the con_show_multi function when ifconfig
attempts to get IFG_PPP_SENDEXPECT and IFG_PPP_HANGUP, there is no
checking for if NULL is returned.
Added conditional statement to check for NULL.
- Defect #20934 fixed. Resetting an FTP socket should no longer
cause bad FTP state (reported on Windows XP FTP server)
- Defect #20939 fixed. Samples program "samples\tcpip\zserver\filesystem.c"
compiles correctly.
- Defect #20941 fixed. Zserver.lib was not filling in FAT partition
info to caller, causing problems with unmount/mount operations
within filesystem.c sample program.
- Defect #21049 fixed. When RS232.LIB's serXopen functions are
called with a baud parameter lower than can be actually
achieved on a Rabbit 4000-based board, the lowest possible
baud rate is now always set. Note that the serXopen
functions' result indicates whether or not the achieved baud
setting is within 5% of the requested baud parameter.
- Defect #21226 fixed. Long HTTP headers no longer cause the HTTP
connection to abort. This was causing problems on Internet Explorer
under Windows Vista.
- Defect #21426 fixed. Function help is now available for the
_xalloc function.
- Defect #21467 fixed. Fixed an off-by-one error in setting the RTS/CTS
threshold in the WiFi driver.
- Defect #21470 fixed. Fixed problems with setting and interpreting the
fragmentation threshold in the WiFi driver.
- Defect #21674 fixed. When using MS_TIMER for delays and timeouts, the
elapsed interval should always be compared to the desired period, instead
of direct comparisons between MS_TIMER and an end time to avoid errors when
MS_TIMER rolls over.
- Defect #21725 fixed. The error log's ERRLOG_PHYSICAL_ADDR
macro value is now correctly defined in error log supporting
compile modes.
- Defect #21780 fixed. For FLASH_COMPILE or RAM_COMPILE mode
programs compiled to 16-bit flash and RAM memories, A19 is no
longer inverted in the MB2CR or MB3CR quadrants. Note that
the A19 inversion is of no consequence to memories of size 256
KWords (512 KBytes) or smaller.
- Defect #21828 fixed. A copy of the system macros table is now
available for use by the _GetSysMacro* functions in "Code and
BIOS in RAM" compile mode.
- Defect #22044 fixed. When DCRTCP is not defined, ZCONSOLE.LIB
no longer #uses the network configuration save support
library. This eliminates "XXX is out of scope / not declared"
error messages when compiling the basicconsole.c or
loginconsole.c standard samples.
- Defect #22050 fixed. When resolving multiple host names that
are a mix of "dotted decimal" and name-type URLs, DNS.LIB's
DNS request counter is now always incremented and decremented
in a balanced fashion.
- Defect #22054 fixed. The non-API repl_getCurrentNetworkConfig
library support function is now properly prototyped and
exposed for use by other library API functions. This
eliminates the "Undefined (but used) global label" error when
compiling the userblock_tcpipconsole.c standard sample.
- Defect #22055 fixed. Fixed a problem where changing SSIDs would
sometimes not trigger a new association with the WiFi driver.
- Defect #22068 fixed. Incorrect comparisons of types char vs.
NULL in ZCONSOLE.LIB's con_set_param and con_set_tcpip_debug
functions have been corrected to compare char vs. char.
- Defect #22091 fixed. RS232_NOCHARASSYINBRK now turns on "no character
assembly in break" while in STDIO_DEBUG_SERIAL mode. If STDIO_DEBUG_SERIAL
== SADR on a Rabbit 4000 (or greater), this is now the default behavior.
- Defect #22094 fixed. The redundant xrelease() function help
header is removed from XMEM.LIB.
- Defect #22095 fixed. Modified documentation for rand16_range().
- Defect #22255 fixed. By default, excluded flash driver
variables and code which are not normally necessary in "Code
and BIOS in RAM" compile mode.
- Defect #22730 fixed. Compilation errors in samples/LowPower/lp_ping.c
and lp_smtp.c
- Defect #22910 fixed. SYS.LIB's useMainOsc and 32khzOsc
functions now check the current oscillator(s) setting to avoid
making unwanted oscillator setting changes. The unwanted
settings changes particularly affected programs run in debug
no-poll mode, preventing Dynamic C from detecting end-of-
program.
- Defect #22945 fixed. The Nflash library had compiler errors when
NFLASH_DEBUG switch was enabled.
- Defect #22950 fixed. The ADC library for RCM4xxx modules had
unsigned int return values for several functions that needed a
signed value. This caused negative error conditions to produce
incorrect large positive readings back to the caller.
- Defect #22995 fixed. ADC calibration fails with non-default gain running
adc_cal_chan.c or adc_cal_all.c on RCM4xxx core.
- Defect #23075 fixed. Incorrect calibration of analog channel on RCM4100.
- Defect #23095 fixed. When USE_FAR_LIB_API or USE_FAR_STRING_LIB
was defined, several "call memcpy" asm instructions in ASIX.LIB,
REALTEK.LIB and SMSC.LIB were changed to "call _f_memcpy"
inappropriately.
- Defect #23133 fixed. The SxER registers and SxERShadow variables
are now all initialized to their HW reset state on BIOS startup.
In particular, this fixes STDIO redirection problems due to reliance
on uninitialized shadow register values.
- Defect #23240 fixed. ioconfig_switchecho.c, double output possible due to
shared variable between costates.
- Defect #23256 fixed. When using TICK_TIMER for delays and timeouts, the
elapsed interval should always be compared to the desired period, instead
of direct comparisons between TICK_TIMER and an end time to avoid errors
when TICK_TIMER rolls over.
- Defect #23552 fixed. Switching power modes with set_cpu_power_mode() could
sometimes cause a crash on the RCM40xx series core modules.
- Defect #23638 fixed. sspec_readvariable() in ZSERVER.LIB could return
incorrect values for a variable of type INT8.
- Defect #23720 fixed. The help description for sspec_setfvlen() in
ZSERVER.LIB has been corrected (NULL terminator should be included in
PTR16 lengths).
- Defect #23806 fixed. Rabbit 4000's HDLC_PACKET.LIB asm
instruction mnemonic "pd" typo has been corrected to read "ld"
instead.
- Defect #23818 fixed. On the RCM4400W, calling tcp_tick() no
longer corrupts IX register content. This fix allows RCM4400W
applications that call tcp_tick() within costates or
cofunctions to work correctly.
- Defect #81642 fixed. HDLC driver had an incorrect check for CPU being used.
- Defect #81697 fixed. _WriteFlashByteX and _WriteFlashWord no longer cause a
stack imbalance when a write into the user/System ID block is detected.
Gui Bugs
- Defect #21215 fixed. Project changes can now be made after compiling and
before returning to edit mode.
- Defect #21315 fixed. Characters less than 0x20 now show as '.' on the right
side of dump windows.

grep begins another cannot be started until the first ends.
- Defect #21879 fixed. Edit window misbehavior from selecting Message window
items is fixed.
- Defect #81439 fixed. Grep in files with *.* mask now runs without error.
- Defect #81450 fixed. Copy-and-paste containing tabs now works
properly. (Note that this bug was actually fixed in Dynamic C
version 10.09.)
- Defect #81483 fixed. Project open/close will now cancel if
modified file close query is cancelled. (Note that this bug was
actually fixed in Dynamic C version 9.30.)
- Defect #81689 fixed. Dynamic C: Serial No. Dialog now appears center-screen
on a dual-monitor system.
Sample Program Bugs
- Defect #20941 fixed. Zserver.lib was not filling in FAT partition
info to caller, causing problems with unmount/mount operations
within filesystem.c sample program.
- Defect #21800 fixed. Unused input capture ISR code is removed
from the qd_phase_10bit.c standard sample program.
- Defect #22730 fixed. The \Samples\LowPower\lp_ping.c and lp_smtp.c
were missing configuration for RCM4xxx modules causing compilation
errors. Configuration for all released RCM4xxx modules added.
- Defect #22804 fixed. The \Samples\SysClock\test_32khz_3000.c
standard sample has been renamed to test_32khz_3000_4000.c and
updated with support for blinky LEDs on the RCM4xxx
prototyping board.
- Defect #22805 fixed. The Samples\SysClock\Test_Osc3000.c
standard sample has been renamed to Test_Osc3000_4000.c and
updated accordingly to work with a selection of both Rabbit
3000 and 4000 targets.
- Defect #23004 fixed. The \Samples\Filesystem\FAT\fmt_device.c sample
did not format additional partitions correctly, only partition 0.
had erratic partition mounting behavior after formatting a partition
other than partition 0.
did not handle uncondition format of device properly with multiple
partitions on the device.
- Defect #23202 fixed. For PPP sample programs which define
DIALOUT_SENDEXPECT, added 1.5 second pause between modem reset
and dial out commands for those modems which respond with an
early OK to their modem reset command.
- Defect #23457 fixed. The Samples\UserBlock\idblock_report.c
standard sample now includes RCM4400W board information.
- Defect #23645 fixed. Corrected a logic error in checking the high
temperature in Samples\TCPIP\HTTP\form1.c .
- Defect #81695 fixed. In Samples\RTCLOCK\SETRTCKB.C, added check for years
entered as more than 2 digits. Added date range notification to stdio
window.
Debugger Bugs
- Defect #22163 fixed. Only one clear breakpoint command sent from compiler
side.
- Defect #22083 fixed. Typo corrected in help to Poll target while running.
- Defect #22147 fixed. The IOConfig utility now sets up serial port D DMA
correctly and the serial port works correctly after calling the generated
function.
- Defect #23088 fixed. Erroneous warnings about other serial
ports' setup interfering with debugging via serial port A
have been eliminated; valid warnings occur when appropriate.
- The Rabbit 4000 CPU's advanced 16-bit memory mode has a defect
which affects ioe instructions (auxiliary I/O, external I/O)
and self-timed chip select. The Dynamic C BIOS has been
updated to work around this ioe defect on affected boards, all
of the RCM40xx family. If absolute top performance is required
and the User is certain their application is unaffected by the
ioe bug, the work around can be disabled by adding the
__ALLOW_16BIT_AUXIO_DEFECT macro into Dynamic C's Project
Options Defines Box. See the Rabbit 4000 Users Manual Appendix
B (errata section) or TN255 for complete details.
- The RCM4xxx board-specific ioconfig_switchecho.c sample and
related RCM4*_IOCONFIG.LIB libraries are updated to also
demonstrate configuration of serial port D with DMA enabled.
- The wifi_ioctl() API function has slightly different semantics for some
commands. In particular, many of the commands require that the WiFi
network interface is brought down before the command is accepted. See the
function help (Ctrl-H) for wifi_ioctl() for details. Application code
should ensure that the return code from wifi_ioctl() is checked after
each call.
- WiFi Protected Access (WPA), with Pre-Shared Key (PSK), is now available
for applications which require robust privacy and integrity. In order to
use WPA/PSK, define WIFI_USE_WPA plus a suitable ascii passphrase
or hexadecimal key, and define _WIFI_WEP_FLAG to WIFICONF_WEP_TKIP. See
samples\rcm4400w\tcpip\pingled_wpa_psk.c for more details. More
documentation on the relevant macros may be found by performing a Function
Lookup (Ctrl+H) on TCPCONFIG.
- In order to be acceptable to various countries' regulatory authorities,
there is an improved API for customizing the WiFi library to conform to
the radio regulations. The wifi_ioctl() API function has new commands to
query and set the channel list and transmit power. The commands are
WIFI_MULTI_DOMAIN which allows automatic configuration via 802.11d capable
access points; WIFI_COUNTRY_SET which allows one of several known
regulatory domains to be configured; WIFI_COUNTRY_GET which queries the
current regulatory domain information.

- Defect #81675 fixed. BIOS's UserBlockAddr variable is now
correct in Compile to flash, run in fast RAM compile mode when
target board has a unique version 5 ID block installed.
- Defect #81678 fixed. Can now read all of User block when
version 5 unique ID block and large size User block are
installed.

to clear only the available User block area.
- Defect #81508 fixed. Userblock_info.c now reports correct
information for unique v. 5 ID block.
- Defect #81673 fixed. Now warns user that #define's are
missing, refers user to documentation comments at the top of
SERVO_FIRST.c.
- The RCM40xx Product Family has been separated with individual
Product IDs. Specifically, in Dynamic C 10.07, the macro,
RCM4000A , has been redefined to the product id for an RCM4000
(PID=0x2702). Likewise, the macro, RCM4010 , is now defined to
the product ID for an RCM4010 (PID=0x2701). The boards'
internal product ID part numbers have not changed, just the
macro value definitions in this version of Dynamic C. Previous
versions of Dynamic C 10 used the macro RCM4000A to identify
the RCM4010 (PID=2701).
- Error logging is updated to version 2. Run time exceptions are
now reported / recorded as negative int values and Dynamic C's
traditional run time error codes have changed. See details in
Lib\errno.lib and in Lib\BiosLib\errors.lib.
- DLM/DLP programs in Samples\Download do not work with Rabbit
4000 processors. These programs were changed to reflect this.

*****************************************************************
VERSION 10.01
NOTE: Dynamic C version 10.01 is supported only on the RCM4110
core module. Attempting to compile a program to any other
Rabbit Core Module will result in a compile-time error.
NEW FEATURES
- Far Pointers and Far Data. The "far" keyword allows for direct
access to xmem, without having to use xmem2root, root2xmem, or
other library routines. A new library API for standard
functions is provided to work with far pointers.
- Rabbit 4000 CPU code generation. DC 10.01 introduces support
for the Rabbit 4000 CPU and generates native code from C
source.
- Improved code generation. DC 10.01 has improved code generation
over older Dynamic C releases, including the use of new Rabbit
4000 instructions to produce smaller, faster binaries.
- Rabbit I/O LIB Utility. This utility is a powerful tool
for initializing I/O pins and various Rabbit 4000 peripherals.
- DMA support. The Rabbit 4000 supports Direct Memory Access for
data transfers between I/O and memory. A full set of API are
provided in the new DMA.LIB
- Highly configurable serial libraries. RS232 serial API have
been enhanced to support generalization. This allows for more
maintainable and transferable code. RS232 also now supports
DMA for less interrupt intensive serial transfers.
BUG FIXES
Compiler Bugs
- Defect #81546 fixed. Constant structure assignment is fixed.
- Defect #81550 fixed. Removed improper warning for functions
returning function pointer types using typedef.

works correctly for programs compiled to RAM.
Debugger Bugs
- Defect #81573 fixed. Pressing F4 when a program is running on
a BL1810 now stops the program from running and returns the
IDE to edit mode.
- Defect #81575 fixed. Returning to edit mode after compiling a
program and turning on execution tracing no longer results in
a target communication timeout.
- Defect #81585 fixed. Setting a watch expression no longer
corrupts data 1k below dkcWriteBufHeader in non-separate I&D.
- Conversion of negative float values to unsigned long values,
which is undefined C behavior, has changed. Previously, the
float value's 32-bit representation was copied literally into
the unsigned long's 32-bits. Now, conversion of a negative
float value to unsigned long type results in the value 0ul.
This change in behavior is coincident with the fix for defect
#81556. Also note that the similarly undefined behavior for
conversion of negative float values to unsigned int type has
not yet changed; however, the equivalent change will occur in a
future release of Dynamic C.
*****************************************************************

- Defect #81193 fixed. Selecting the first row in the STDIO
window changes the font size. Note that this bug was actually
fixed in Dynamic C v. 9.01.
- Defect #81265 fixed. Memory dump code/data space options not
autogreyed out. Note that this bug was actually fixed in
Dynamic C v. 9.10.
- Defect #81355 fixed. Compiler messages window wasn't "in focus"
immediately after messages are generated.
- Defect #81357 fixed. Can't copy selected text from STDIO
window.
- Defect #81358 fixed. Tabs are not always correctly expanded in
the STDIO window.
*****************************************************************
VERSION 9.10
NEW FEATURES
- PKTDRV.LIB is now optionally controlled by a macro named
DISABLE_ETHERNET_AUTOCONF, which if #defined in the user's
program, excludes all ethernet driver's from being
automatically compiled into the user's code based on board
type. Usage of this macro gives other users the option to
simply turn off automatic selection and compilation of ethernet
drivers based on board type.

*****************************************************************
VERSION 9.01
NEW FEATURES
- Execution Tracing - Traces at each statement, each
function, or customer inserted points. Displays results
in the Trace window. The options for execution tracing
are configurable. This feature is disabled by default.
- Stack Tracing - Helps customers find out the path of the
program at each single step or break point. By looking
through the stack, it is possible to reconstruct the path
and allow the customer to easily move backwards in the
current call tree to get a better feeling for the current
debugging context.
- Persistent Breakpoints - Persistent breakpoints mean the
information is retained when transitioning back and forth
from edit mode to debug mode and when a file is closed and
re-opened.
- Enhanced Watch Expressions - The Watches window is now a
tree structure capable of showing struct members. That is,
all members of a structure become viewable as watch
expressions when a structure is added, without having to add
them each separately.
- Enhanced Memory Dumps - Changed data in the Memory Dump
window is highlighted in reverse video or in customizable
colors every time you single step in either C or assembly.
- Enhanced Mode Switching - Debug mode can be entered
without a recompile and download. If the contents of the
debugged program are edited, Dynamic C prompts for a
recompile.
- Enhanced Stdio Window - The Stdio window is directly
searchable.
- Enhanced bookmark support - Bookmark menu items are
checked when the corresponding bookmark is set, and
unchecked when the corresponding bookmark is not set.
When a book mark is set, the menu item also displays
the line of text as well as the column and line number
where the bookmark is placed. See Edit | Toggle Bookmark,
Edit | Goto Bookmark, and Editor window popup menu.
- Samples, libraries, and documentation added for new RCM3360
and RCM3370 boards equipped with soldered-on and/or socketed
nand flash devices. (Note that the RCM3300's Remote
Application Upload requires serial flash, and so is
incompatible with the new nand flash equipped RCM3360 and
RCM3370 boards.)
- Support for SMTP Auth added to SMTP library.
- TCP/IP stack has been reorganized to dramatically reduce
the amount of root data memory used. This change frees
up almost 6k of root data memory, which will allow
applications which are constrained by root memory (code
and/or data) to be enhanced. If the application is
constrained by available root code space, the definition
of DATAORG may be increased by one or two pages (4 or
8k) to allow additional root code functions. Applications
which need more root data space can just use the
additional root data space.
- TCP/IP packet buffers used to default to 10 packets of
600 bytes each, stored in root data space. This version
now defaults to 10 packets of 1536 bytes each, in xmem.
The xmem buffers are allocated in units of 512 bytes,
and default to 30 buffers. These buffers are shared
amongst the default 10 packets. The number of packets
is specified using #define ETH_MAXBUFS. Each packet
uses a small amount of root data space (currently 48 bytes
each). The data buffers, in xmem, are specified using
#define PKT_XBUFS to the number of 512-byte chunks desired.
This defaults to 30. In order to take advantage of the
larger buffer space available, the default interface
MTU has been increased to 1500 (from 600). This
should produce an immediate performance improvement for
applications which handle bulk network data.
- TCP/IP stack packet (ethernet) drivers have been
reorganized so that more than one type of packet driver
may be included in the same application program. This is
to support future products which have more than one
ethernet interface, or which do not know which ethernet
device is on-board until runtime.
- POOL.LIB has high-speed allocation/deallocation and
linked-list handling functions, in addition to the
previous C implementations.
BUG FIXES
Library Bugs
- Defect #80928 which was fixed in Dynamic C 8.51 involved
a change in the default value of QD_DIVISOR used in the
quadrature decoder system.
TCP/IP Bugs
- Defect #81272. Removed unnecessary code that used port G
for reseting SMSC on RCM3300. Corrected initializations
for other boards where the DDR register for the reset line
was prematurely set to output.
- Defect #81191. The "list variables" command in ZCONSOLE.LIB
now works again.
- Defect #81220. The time zone compensation in HTTP.LIB
is now done correctly.
- Defect #81276. Some problems with multicasting on ASIX
and Realtek chipsets have been fixed.
- Defect #81257 fixed. The smsc_writephy function returns
incorrect values if uC/OS-II is defined. This effects the
pd_havelink and prt_nicreg functions for the smsc based
boards (RCM3400 and RCM3300).
- Defect #81258 fixed. Selection variables in RabbitWeb can
now additionally have guard expressions.
Compiler Bugs
- Defect #81256 fixed. The PCDR register is no longer set
to 0x40 at cold boot time, preventing bits 0/2/4/6
transition on Rabbit 3000 CPUs and bit 6 transition on Rabbit
2000 CPUs. RabbitBios.c is also updated to prevent start
up transitions on these bits after hardware reset. If
the BIOS's previous transition behavior is desired, add
_ZW_RESET_PCDR_ALL_ZEROS into the "Options > Project
Options > Defines" tab.
- Defect #81264 fixed. Auto "protected" variables allowed
(but not protected) and local static protected variables
disallowed.
- Defect #81273 fixed. Long labels in the assembler (>= 32
characters) no longer cause odd errors.
- Defect #81261 fixed. Pointer checking incorrectly reports
runtime exceptions for battery backed root variables error
under Code and BIOS in Flash, Run in RAM compile mode.
Command line Compiler Bugs
Debugger Bugs
GUI Bugs
RFU Bugs
- TCP/IP:
Ping responses are supported up to a maximum of 982 bytes.
This is a reduction from previous versions, but is
necessary for reasonable efficiency. If using a ping
command from a host such as ping -s 1000 10.10.6.100
(which specifies 1000 bytes of data) then only the first
982 bytes will be echoed. Default ping commands will
usually only send 56 bytes of data, so this should not
be a problem in practice.
The old style of TCP/IP configuration (using MY_IP_ADDRESS,
MY_NETMASK, etc.) must be slightly modified to work with the
new packet drivers. The macro USE_ETHERNET must be defined
to 1 before the "#use dcrtcp.lib" line. Also, a warning will
be issued if the macro TCPCONFIG is not defined. If you are
using the old style configuration, TCPCONFIG should be defined
to 0. We do, however, recommend migrating to the new style of
configuration using the TCPCONFIG macro, the TCP_CONFIG.LIB
library, and the ifconfig() function.
*****************************************************************
VERSION 8.61
Compiler Bugs
- Defect #81224 fixed. The BIOS is only recompiled when
necessary.
- Defect #81228. Duplicate string literals in differents
scopes may cause the compiler to crash or fail to compile.
TCP/IP Bugs
- Defect #81227 fixed. A warning is now issued when
SSPEC_MAX_OPEN is less than HTTP_MAXSERVERS or
FTP_MAXSERVERS. Setting SSPEC_MAX_OPEN too low
(it is 4 by default) causes spurious "404 Not Found"
errors in the HTTP server when it is under load.
The "404 Not Found" message in this case has
also been changed to a "503 Service Unavailable" message.
- Defect #81231 fixed. Some cases where #web guard
expressions were not generated correctly have been fixed.
*****************************************************************
VERSION 8.51
NEW FEATURES
- Ethernet Support for RCM3700.
- BOOTP.LIB (BOOTP and DHCP support for TCP/IP) rewritten
to be non-blocking and support multiple interfaces.
dhcp_release() and dhcp_acquire() have been deprecated in
favor of bringing the interface down and up using the
normal ifconfig() function. Processing of DHCP options has
been made more flexible, via a callback function. Support
for automatic TFTP download of the boot file has been
removed since it is too unwieldy for multiple i/f usage.
Some global variables (such as _survivebootp) have been
removed. The equivalent functionality is provided via more
ifconfig() options. DHCP now works as part of the normal
interface startup, driven via tcp_tick(). It uses fewer
resources. In particular, worst-case stack usage has
dropped to under 1k from over 2k. Fewer xmem and root data
resources are required. No UDP socket is required.
- DNS.LIB enhanced to use facilities of new SERVLIST.LIB.
SERVLIST manages prioritized lists of IP addresses which
represent server resources. In particular, DNS, the name
resolver, now uses a DNS server list. This has the benefit
of being able to mix predefined DNS servers together with
DNS servers discovered via DHCP or PPP negotiation.
- Support for SSL and HTTPS.
- Added xgetfloat and xsetfloat functions to get and set a
floating point value in xmem
- Floating point support can be conditionally compiled out
of stdio.lib by adding #define STDIO_DISABLE_FLOATS to either
a user program or the Defines tab page in the Project
Options dialog. This can save several thousand bytes of
code space.
- Three new format specifiers have been added to the printf
family of functions:
* %ls specifies a NULL terminated string in xmem.
* %p specifies a 16-bit logical pointer.
* %lp specifies a 32-bit physical pointer.
- Support for printing strings longer than 127 bytes has
been added to stdio.lib. A new macro,
STDIO_ENABLE_LONG_STRINGS must be defined in either the user
program or in the Defines tab page in the Project Options
dialog (the library does not define this macro by default).
Special care must be taken in a multi-tasking application
where different tasks may be printing strings that are
longer than 128 bytes so that output from different tasks
is not interleaved in the stdio window. For instance, a
semaphore could be used by different tasks in a uC/OS-II
application that need to print long strings to serialize
access to printf.
- User can now add serial ports to Serial Port combobox in
Communications tab of Project Options dialog.
- The command line compiler normally compiles and runs the
specified source file, but now when the project file
"Default Compile Mode" is one of the options which compiles
to a .bin file, the command line compiler will not
run the program but will compile the source to a .bin file.
- Provides stronger built-in support for certain large sector
flash devices; in particular, the LS support files from
tn226.zip are no longer required. See Tech Note 226 for a
list of supported flash devices, and a description of the
limitations of support for LS flash devices.
Command line Compiler
- Defect #80927 fixed. Help message printed for -b flag was
incorrect.
- Defect #80972 fixed. The command line compiler -rf switch
now reads data correctly for a targetless compile to a file.
- Defect #81050 fixed. The command line compiler reads
libraries from a user defined lib.dir file in the project
file, if one exists.
- Defect #81053 fixed. The command line compiler now uses
the files given with the -lf, -bf, -clf and -pbf switches
correctly.
- Defect #81150 fixed. The command line compiler will now
honor the compile mode setting specified in the project file.
- Defect #81158 fixed. The command line compiler will now
properly handle a relative given for a project file with
the -pf switch.
Library Bugs
- Defect #80625 fixed. Corrected parity mode values listed
in serXParity function descriptions.
- Defect #80637 fixed. Corrected prototype syntax in function
descriptions for serXparity.

- Defect #80948 fixed. The BIOS's MMIDR_VALUE macro definition
now shifts the CS1_ALWAYS_ON value into the correct bit
position.
- Defect #80949 fixed. The BIOS's special FastRAM_InRAM

I/O use correctly.
- Defect #80976 fixed. PPP now checks for full connect status
before processing IP packets.
- Defect #80986 fixed. In RAM_COMPILE mode, RabbitBios.c
made a subroutine call before the temporary stack was set up.
- Defect #80987 fixed. A FAST_RAM_COMPILE mode application that
set a short period WDT time out could lock up in a WDT time out
reset cycle. (Also potentially affected FLASH_COMPILE mode if
the CPU clock was extremely slow.)
- Defect #80991 fixed. Fast RAM compile mode repeated xalloc
calls do not fail prematurely.
- Defect #80993 fixed. In PPP.LIB, PAP ACK and PAP NACK packets

flash devices.
- Defect #81002 fixed. Register values changed via the Registers
window change options are now retained while using separate
instruction and data spaces.

- Defect #81054 fixed. In RabbitBios.c, separate I&D space
flash compile mode 'DATAORG' double subtraction wastes flash
xmemcode space.
- Defect #81055 fixed. In RabbitBios.c, separate I&D space
fast RAM compile mode 'DATAORG' double subtraction possibly
misplaces FS2 flash file system.
- Defect #81104 fixed. Now, the default for all compile
modes when MicroC-OS is not used is a single 4 KB stack.
- Defect #81109 fixed. FS2.LIB's fs_read_pbuf() function
preserves the IX register (for use within costates/cofuncs).

- Defect #81166 fixed. Memory devices are explicitly mapped
before writes occur
in RabbitBios.c, in particular when ZERO_OUT_STATIC_DATA
is true.
- Defect #81167 fixed. Packet driver initialization is now

before aborting remote DMA, as dictated by NE2000 specs.
Debugger Bugs
- Defect #80807 fixed. All breakpoints can now unconditionally
be reset.
- Defect #80929 fixed. Single stepping over an lcall
to a debuggable pure assembly function with the
assembly window open no longer causes stack corruption.
- Defect #80958 fixed. Watch data is now correct for
a watch that is automatically reloaded at program
startup and that is set on the address of a local
static variable where global variables are declared
between function prototypes and the function in which
the variable being watched occurs.
- Defect #80963 fixed. Data in af' register is not
trashed when single stepping at the instruction level
over a jp f,mn instruction.
- Defect #80988 fixed. Debugger handles samples that
use serial ports E and F correctly. See defect #81147.
- Defect #81152 fixed. Disabling watch expressions in
GUI now prevents target from allocating space for watch
code, which can be seen in Information window.
Compiler Bugs
- Defect #80904 fixed. Data variables are placed beginning
exactly at the top of the data origin.
- Defect #80923 fixed. On an RCM3200, the BIOS is only
compiled when necessary, not every time a user program
is compiled.
- Defect #80944 fixed. When a call cannot be inlined for
builtin I/O functions, arguments are properly demoted to
expected type.
- Defect #80951 fixed. Using the interrupt_vector keyword
with an interrupt vector name of exactly 11 characters
would cause an internal error
- Defect #80973 fixed. An empty LIB.DIR would cause a GPF.
- Defect #80983 fixed. Dynamic C did not properly handle
write-protected BIN files.
- Defect #80984 fixed. Variables named "i" or "I" would
cause strange errors in assembly code
- Defect #81009 fixed. Dynamic C crashes while compiling
large xstring table.
- Defect #81018 fixed. All origin (incl. #rcodorg) collisions
are now detected and reported.
- Defect #81027 fixed. Short-circuit evaluation for binaray
operators && and || could generate improper fixups if
the first operand evaluated to a constant (and thus
optimizing out the second operand in some cases).
- Defect #81032 fixed. Dynamic C did not properly handle
function pointers to inline-I/O functions when inline
I/O was enabled.
- Defect #81033 fixed. When using inline-C return statements
in #asm blocks within functions, Dynamic C would sometimes
omit the final return in the function, even though there
was valid code between the return statement and the end
of the function.
- Defect #81035 fixed. Large xdata and xstring tables are
no longer truncated to modulo 64 KB.
TCP/IP Bugs
- Defect #80817 fixed. Long PPP send/expect sequences do
not cause overflow of string buffer - new chat.lib
implementation.

RFU Bugs
- Defect #80806 fixed. The RFU no longer reqires write access to
the drive from which it is executing and can be run from CD.
This fix has been implemented since version 7.26.
- Existing FTP server programs must now define the macro
SSPEC_NO_STATIC. This is due to changes in the underlying
ZSERVER.LIB that makes its handling of the HTTP and FTP
servers more uniform. In particular, it is now possible to
create a static resource table for the FTP server as well
as the HTTP server. SSPEC_NO_STATIC indicates that the user
is not creating a static resource table.
- The macro SSPEC_NO_STATIC is an alias for the old macro
HTTP_NO_FLASHSPEC.
*****************************************************************
VERSION 8.30-B
LIBRARY BUGS
- Defect 81081 fixed. ZCONSOLE.LIB has been updated to
reflect DNS-related changes.
VERSION 8.30
NEW FEATURES
- DHCP rewritten to be better integrated into the TCP/IP
library suite. You can now use DHCP with multiple interfaces.
When you bring the interface up and down, DHCP is
automatically applied. There are more ifconfig() options
for setting DHCP parameters and less reliance on global
variables. For full details, see the library description
at the top of lib\tcpip\bootp.lib. The main feature of
the old implementation which is no longer supported is
the ability to "automatically" download a boot file using
TFTP. TFTP is still usable for this purpose, however
DHCP will not do it for you.
- You can now define multiple home IP addresses on an
ethernet interface by defining the macro VIRTUAL_ETH
to the number of additional home addresses. You also
need to call the virtual_eth() function at runtime to
define the new home addresses. See the documentation for
virtual_eth() for more details.
- New function send_ping_iface() to send an ICMP echo request
on a specified network interface.
- New function aton2() for better parsing of dotted decimal
IP address strings.
- Added IFS_NAMESERVER_DEL option for ifconfig() to remove
nameserver entries.
- The samples\tcpip\dhcp.c sample program now demonstrates
a lot of tcp/ip functionality

information (eg: analog calibration constants) is accessible
as situated on those boards.
*****************************************************************
VERSION 8.02
NEW FEATURES
- DeviceMate libraries and samples have been added.
- Enhanced inlining of built-in internal I/O functions.
Now WrPortI can be inlined with any expression as its
third argument (value).
Compiler Bugs
- Defect #80938 fixed. Arguments that cause fixups to
be generated when used with inlined built-in internal
I/O functions no longer overwrite instructions.
- Defect #80944 fixed. When a call cannot be inlined for
built-in I/O functions, arguments are properly demoted
to expected type.

static by placing #class static at the top
of your main source file.
NEW FEATURES - Gui
Editor
- Syntax highlighting - customizable via
Options | Environment Options | Syntax Colors
- Code templates - new templates can be added via
Options | Environment Options | Code Templates,
and can be inserted into the editor using either
ctrl+j or right mouse click | Insert Code Template
- Columnar selection - alt + left mouse button will
put the editor into column mode
- Bookmarks - shift + ctrl + [0-9] will toggle a book
mark at the current cursor location. ctrl + [0-9]
will return the cursor to that location.
- Many preferences can be set via Options | Environment,
Options | Editor
- "Open file at cursor" command (on right click pop
up menu)
- Watch expressions can be evaluated in flyover hints
Grep
- Located under Edit | Find in Files (Grep) allows
searches to be performed in directories or in all files
open in Dynamic C. Regular expressions and specific
file masks can be used.
Function Lookup
- A tree view of all libraries and all functions (with
function descriptions) contained in each library has
been added to the function lookup window.
- An edit button has been added to the function description
window that opens the library in which the function
description appears, and positions the cursor at
the function description.
Debug Windows (General)
- Fonts and colors for debug windows can be set on the
debug windows tab under Options | Environment,
Options | Debug Windows. Fonts and colors can be set
on a case by case basis by choosing the desired window
name from the window list box. Fonts and colors for the
current debug window can be applied to all debug windows
by pressing the "apply settings to all" button.
- Which debug windows open when a program is compiled
can be specified on the debug windows tab. Selecting
"Open last used windows" will make dc8 behave like the
7.x releases of dc.
Disassembly window
- Each column (address, machine code, opcode, and clock cycle)
can be resized or completely turned off.
- Source line being disassembled can be shown in the window's
output
- Clock cycle summation can be disabled.
- Window can use same syntax highlighting scheme as editor
windows. If this option is enabled, the font color and
font size cannot be set via the debug windows tab under
Options | Environment Options. The font color and font
size will only change if the syntax options for the editor
change.
- A new address can be disassembled via a right click.
- The current execution address can be disassembled via a
right click.
- A highlighted selection can either be copied to the
clipboard or saved to a file.
Stdio window
- This window can be set to automatically scroll vertically
and/or horizontally.
- Output can wrap at a defined column (default to 80)
Register window
- This window retains the current style of output, and adds
a new view which is selectable either via a right mouse
click on the window or on the debug windows tab under
Options | Environment Options. If the old style is
selected, it is possible to change register contents by
right clicking anywhere on the window and selecting
"Change Register Value(s)". If the new style is selected,
right clicking on an editable register will bring up a
menu which allows you to increment or decrement the
register, or change the contents by selecting "New
Register Value...". Each of the flags can be toggled
via a right mouse click.
Memory dump window(s)
- Multiple memory dump windows can be active at the same
time.
- More than 128 bytes can be dumped at once. The dump
region automatically grows or shrinks as the window
size changes.
- The Dump at Address dialog box (found under
Inspect | Dump at Address...) is sensitive to the type
of input entered into it. A 16-bit logical address is
entered as a four digit hex number with an optional
leading 0x. A 20-bit physical address is entered as a
5 digit hex number with an optional leading 0x.
An xpc:offset style address is entered as a 6 digit hex
number with a ':' separating the xpc portion from the
offset portion.
- The Data space and code space radio buttons are only
visible if the compiler options have been set to enable
separate instruction and data spaces.
- As the mouse moves over the memory dump window, the byte
under the cursor preceded by its address is displayed
in the window caption bar and in a flyover hint. Both of
these options can be enabled and disabled independently.
- The memory dump window is capable of displaying three
different types of dumps. A dump of a logical address
will result in a 64k scrollable region (0x0000 - 0xffff).
A dump of a physical address will result in a dump of a
1M region (0x00000 - 0xfffff). A dump of an xpc:offset
address will result in either a 4k, 64k, or 1M dump range
depending on the option set on the debug windows tab under
Options | Environment Options. If a 4k or 64k range is
selected, the dump window will dump a 4k or 64k chunk of
memory using the given xpc. If 'Full Range' is selected,
the window will dump 00:0000 - ff:ffff. To increment or
decrement the xpc, use the '+' and '-' buttons located
below and above the scroll bar. (These buttons are only
visible for an xpc:offset dump where the range is either
4k or 64k).
- Each window can be set to update or not update after every
single step or program pause.
- A dump window can be updated via a right mouse click or
the button on the windows toolbar.
- The dump window toolbar can be hidden.
- A highlighted selection can either be copied to the
clipboard or saved to a file.
Watch window
- Watches can be deleted in any order.
- All watches can be deleted at once.
- Evaluation of a watch (without adding it to the watch
list) has been separated out. Use the 'Evaluate expression'
button for this functionality.
Toolbars
- By default Dynamic C 8 shows a set of toolbar buttons very
similar to the 7.x releases. However, the buttons are now
grouped together by function and separated into individual
toolbars. Each toolbar can be repositioned within the main
control bar, or can be removed and floated individually.
- The visibility of individual toolbars can be toggled through
two different means. Right clicking anywhere on the toolbars,
or choosing Options | Toolbars, will allow for turning on or
off selected toolbars.
- All toolbars can be shown by right clicking on the toolbars
and choosing "Show All Buttons" or by choosing
Options | Toolbars | Show All Buttons.
- The visibility of all toolbars can be toggled by right
clicking on the toolbars and choosing "View Menu Buttons",
or by choosing Options | Toolbars | View Menu Buttons.
- All visible buttons can be placed on a single toolbar by
right clicking on the toolbars and choosing "Consolidate
visible buttons to one toolbar" or by choosing Options |
Toolbars | Consolidate visible buttons to one toolbars.
- Toolbars can be customized by right clicking on the toolbars
and choosing "Customize Button Groups...", or by choosing
Options | Toolbars | Customize Button Groups.... This will
bring up a dialog box showing all available buttons. Any
button can be dragged out of the dialog and placed onto
any toolbar in any position. The same button can appear in
more than one place if desired. A button can be removed
from a toolbar by dragging it away from the toolbar
and releasing the left mouse button.
Printing
- Printing options are located on the Print/Alerts tab of
the Environment Options dialog box. These options control the
options set via the Setup button on this page or via
File | Print Options.
- A font different than the editor font can be used for printing
- Options include printing a header, footer, numbering pages,
syntax printing, word wrap, and definable margins.
Other changes
- Reverse find - located on the edit menu, will find the next
occurrence of the current search string in the opposite
direction last set in the Find dialog.
- Go to execution point - located on the Inspect menu, will
bring into focus the current execution point when in debug
mode.
- Save all - located on the File menu, will save the contents
of all open editors.
- Compile mode
- Default project source file - located in
Project Options | Compiler | Advanced Compiler Options,
will compile the specified source file whenever the F5 or F9
button is pressed. If the specified source file is not open,
it will be opened. If the specified source file cannot be
found, an error will occur. Using this option will allow
any source file to be focused when a compile is started.
- Alerts - located in Environment Options | Print / Alerts, will
cause Dynamic C to flash its icon on the taskbar after a
successful compile and download if Dynamic C is not the active
application, beep after a successful compile and download if
Dynamic C is not the active application, and check the
contents of open editor windows and prompt if the contents of
any open files have been modified by an external source.
NEW FEATURES - Compiler
- Assembly list file generation - Located in Project
Options | Compiler, a list file will be generated (with the
extension .LST) in the same directory as the program source.
The list file consists of a complete disassembly of all the
code that was compiled with the program, including library
code (a separate list file is generated for the BIOS and its
associated libraries). The disassembly also includes intermixed
source lines, with source file and line information.
- #zimport compression - A special form of #ximport, #zimport
executes an external compression utility to compress input
files at compile time, before download. Support libraries allow
for compressed files to be decompressed on-the-fly. See the
\samples\zimport sample programs for more information.
- Inline builtin internal I/O functions - Located in
Project Options | Compiler, when the box is checked, builtin
I/O functions (WrPortI, RdPortI, BitWrPortI, BitRdPortI) will
be inlined if all arguments are constant.
- __lcall__ function prefix. When used in a function definition,
the __lcall__ function prefix forces long call and return
(lcall and lret) instructions to be generated for that
function, even if the function is in root. This allows root
functions to be able to be safely called from xmem. __lcall__
has no effect on xmem functions, and use with cofunctions is
prohibited.
- Mapfiles now include #ximport (and #zimport) information in the
global/static data section.
- #pragma nowarn - Two forms are allowed that turn off either
just trivial (warnt) or all (warns) warnings, depending on an
option passed to the pragma. '#pragma nowarn [warnt/warns]'
ignores warnings for the next physical line of code only.
'#pragma nowarn [warnt/warns] start' ignores warnings until the
'#pragma nowarn end' is encountered. The warnt/warns option
is not required; if left off, default behavior is warnt.
- Compiler now defaults to storage class auto.
NEW FEATURES - Other
- HTTP.LIB now supports digest authentication. Digest
authentication can be enabled by setting
USE_HTTP_DIGEST_AUTHENTICATION to 1. See the manual
for more information.
- Feature Request #335 implemented: You can now have multiple
users per web page by setting SSPEC_USERSPERRESOURCE and
using sspec_adduser() and sspec_removeuser().
- FTP_SERVER.LIB can now act as a full FTP server with the
default handler functions. Define the macro
FTP_USE_FS2_HANDLERS to enable this feature. The macros
FTP_USERBLOCK_OFFSET and FTP_CREATE_MASK and the functions
ftp_save_filenames() and ftp_load_filenames() also control
this functionality.
- HTTP.LIB supports compressed files. Support is enabled
automatically if you #use zimport.lib before you #use http.lib.
#zimported files are automatically detected when referenced in
the http_flashspec array. Compressed files added through
ZSERVER.LIB functions must have the server_mask ORed with
SERVER_COMPRESSED. The macro INPUT_COMPRESSION_BUFFERS must be
at least as large as HTTP_MAXSERVERS.
- The dlm_tcp.c and dlp_tcp.c sample programs now support
separate I&D space and also support single 512KB split-flash
operation.
TCP/IP Bugs
- Defect #80820 fixed. The ASIX packet driver was reading
from the wrong I/O address in the packet driver. This
could cause the ASIX to come up in the wrong duplex or
glitch port a.
- Defect #80826 fixed. Random overwrite of memory when DHCP
packet received.
- Defect #80829 fixed. SNMP trap messages being set to wrong
MAC address.
- Defect #80837 fixed. SMTP servers that send multiple 220
greeting lines no longer cause the SMTP.LIB client to
abort sending an email.
- Defect #80842 fixed. Auto-negotiation is now properly done
in ASIX.LIB. This affects the RCM3200 and now allows
full duplex mode to be negotiated.
- Defect #80843 fixed. A problem that could potentially cause
the reception of packets to stop working has been fixed in
ASIX.LIB.
- Defect #80858 fixed. SMSC.lib no longer enables the reception
of all multicast datagrams in the SMSC chip.
- Defect #80859 fixed. sock_init() on the Realtek no longer
causes spurious memory writes into xmem or the stack.
- Defect #80861 fixed. Buffer overflows in the test_cgi()
function in samples\tcpip\http\cgi.c were fixed.
- Defect #80911 fixed. sock_gets() will now always wait for a
line-termination before returning data (as long as space is
available in the user buffer).
- Defect #80912 fixed. sock_bytesready() and sock_dataready()
will always indicate the remaining data when the other side
closes the connection, even when the last data was not
line-terminated.
- Defect #80914 fixed. Raw connections in VSERIAL.LIB now close
correctly and allow later connections.
- Defect #80920 fixed. Multi-byte reads with telnet_fastread()
in VSERIAL.LIB are no longer garbled.
- Defect #80921 fixed. pd_setup_RCM3200CORE() in ASIX.LIB now
saves the IX register
Filesystem Bugs
- Defect #80827 fixed. Filesystem corruption when shifting
files to zero size after appending multiple of LS size
bytes to file.
- Defect #80909 fixed. A 2-flash (DLM, DLP or USE_2NDFLASH_CODE)
program that uses FS2 in its first flash won't corrupt the code
in the second flash.
- Defect #80910 fixed. 2-flash DLP using FS2 in its program
flash can format/write file system in its non-"ID/User Blocks"
area.
Compiler Bugs
- Defect #80399 fixed. Single stepping through pure assembly
functions in library code now works correctly.
- Defect #80455 fixed. Bad stack handling with some
integer expressions.
- Defect #80616 fixed. The illegal instruction "ld (hl+xx), a"
now generates an error.
- Defect #80647 fixed. The address of operator (&) did not
work properly with auto arrays.
- Defect #80652 fixed. An internal buffer limited function
argument size. Function arguments may now be of unlimited
size.
- Defect #80660 fixed. Unterminated conditional directives
(#if, #ifdef, #ifndef, missing a #endif) now generate
errors.
- Defect #80662 fixed. The GUI now checks for the existence of
the BIOS before attempting to compile it (in all cases).
Previously, if the BIOS was missing, Dynamic C could GPF.
- Defect #80690 fixed. Token checking was not suppressed when
parsing character constants in assembly.
- Defect #80699 fixed. Cosmetic fix to invalid symbol name
error message. Previously, invalid symbol names would not
be included in the error message in some cases.
- Defect #80733 fixed. Using "..." as a parameter for indexed
cofunctions now correctly generates an error.
- Defect #80735 fixed. Assembly macros containing single quotes
occasionally failed with an incorrect error message.
- Defect #80758 fixed. C++ comments can now span multiple lines
by using the "\" line continuation character.
- Defect #80761 fixed. The error message for defining a constant
with #class auto enabled was confusing and incorrect. A new
error message is now generated for this case.
- Defect #80775 fixed. Array dimensions that were too large were
incorrectly allowed.
- Defect #80778 fixed. Actually a library bug. Using #useix
caused the builtin functions BIT, SET, and RES to fail in
certain circumstances.
- Defect #80782 fixed. Function pointers in xmem with an ximport
caused watch expressions to occasionally crash the target.
Improvements to target communication and the debugger in DC 8
seem to have eliminated the problem.
- Defect #80785 fixed. The extended opcode for "LD HL, (mn)"
no longer crashes the target when single-stepping.
- Defect #80798 fixed. Root bouncers were not generated for
#asm xmem functions.
- Defect #80799 fixed. #asm functions could differ in memory
mapping between the prototype and the definition. This could
lead to a function marked as xmem in the protoype actually
being compiled to root - with no warning.
- Defect #80800 fixed. The fix for defect 799 also fixed this
defect. If the prototype of a #asm function has an "xmem"
mapping prefix, and the definition is in a block with no
mapping (default=root), an error is now generated.
- Defect #80803 fixed. Warnings in unrelated initializers can no
longer prevent a watch expression from being added.
- Defect #80804 fixed. Macros matching register names now
generate warnings.
- Defect #80811 fixed. The interrupt_vector keyword now works
globally.
- Defect #80825 fixed. #ximport now works with relative paths
rather than absolute.
- Defect #80830 fixed. Warning messages occasionally had strange
line numbers that did not correspond to the program or the
warning.
- Defect #80831 fixed. (1) Watch expressions for string literals
now give the actual address of the literal (for strings in the
program, does not work with constant initializers).
(2) Function watch expressions now give the xmem address of the
function, or its bouncer address (if the bouncer exists).
(3) Errors in watch expressions do not break following valid
expressions.
- Defect #80832 fixed. As part of the GUI overhaul, the
information window now only displays info for root constants
when separate I&D spaces is enabled (root constants do not
exist in non-separate I&D mode).
- Defect #80835 fixed. The interrupt_vector keyword would
generate the ISR jump instruction in user code (instead of the
relay) under Separate I&D with #memmap xmem.

checked for improper octal values.
- Defect #80856 fixed. An off-by-one error in code origin
checking did not allow code to completely fill an origin.
- Defect #80857 fixed. #xcodorg addresses are now checked and
converted to xmem range addresses, with a warning. Previously
this conversion was not done, and improper addresses could
result in confusing error messages.
- Defect #80862 fixed. A bug related to origin follows handling
could cause root code to be compiled, but not transmitted to
the target.
- Defect #80868 fixed. Errors in watch expressions could cause
the target to crash when a valid expression was entered later.
- Defect #80876 fixed. The compiler will now generate errors if
#class is compiled with bad, missing, or extra arguments.
- Defect #80878 fixed. Actually a bug with the zcompress.exe
utility, #zimport would fail if the directory the import file
(and the program) was in contained spaces in its name. This was
because the utility did not handle these spaces correctly.

LP35xx.lib powerMode() revised to match and useMainOsc()
removed from brdInit().
- Defect #80855 fixed. The con_createv() command in ZConsole.lib
now creates INT32 type variables correctly. Previously, it
used the value as the format specifier, so that the variable
always displayed with the original value, even if changed.
- Defect #80864 fixed. Writing to the User Block on supported
large and/or nonuniform flash types works correctly. NB: The
user is cautioned that a single sector erase on these types of
flash may take up to two seconds, during which time no
interrupts can be serviced!

addresses for differential and milli-amp inputs.
- Defect #80875 fixed. RCM34xx.lib. Corrected calibration start
addresses for differential and milli-amp inputs.
- Defect #80886 fixed. Applications which are compiled to and run
in RAM and use separate I&D space can map in and write to
flash.
- Defect #80890 fixed. Assembly level single stepping over a
relative jump in the e000-e0ff range resulted in bad jump.
- Defect #80891 fixed. Assembly level single stepping over a
relative jump no longer trashes the af' register.
- Defect #80903 fixed. INTVEC_BASE and XINTVEC_BASE are now
correctly located in FAST_RAM_COMPILE mode, with or without
separate I&D space.

leakage when single stepping through a ucos program compiled
for separate I&D.
Gui Bugs
- Defect #80021 fixed. The task bar no longer fails to come up
after a print preview when Dynamic C is in full screen mode.

- Changed TCP/IP target communications to use the
sock_xfastread/write functions to improve performance.
- Commented out unsupported hybrid word/byte mode flash types in
FLASHWR.LIB and in FLASH.INI which were originally added in
error.
- The User Block maximum size limit on supported flash types has
been increased to 64KB. NB: The actual size of a User Block on
supported large/nonuniform sector flash types is determined by
the sector map of the particular flash device.
- Compiling via F5 or F9 may not display BIOS warning messages.
Use Ctrl-Y to check if warnings are generated during the BIOS
compile.
Known Problems
- Some computers may have trouble displaying the I/O register
help file (Registers.chm) and/or the main Dynamic C help file
(dcw.hlp). Please contact Rabbit Tech Support for the files

*****************************************************************
VERSION 7.30
NEW FEATURES
- Supports separate instruction and data space.
- http_scanpost function added to make it easier to handle
http posts in cgi's.
- added the makecold function to create custom tuple mode
programs.
- Feature request #487 improved. STDIO redirect to serial
now handles input as well, and will automatically switch
between outputting to the STDIO window in debug mode and
the serial port in run mode.
- Breakpoints can now be set in ISRs.
- Ethernet packet driver support for SMSC LAN91C113 10/100.
- Ethernet packet driver support for ASIX AX88796 10/100.
- New TCP/IP library IGMP.LIB allows the use of multicasting,
IGMPv1, and IGMPv2.
- New function writeUserBlockArray() allows writing data from
scattered locations contiguously to the user block.
readUserBlockArray() allows reading contiguous data from the
user block into scattered destinations.
- New function WriteFlash2Array() allows writing data from
scattered locations to a contiguous second flash region.
- ZCONSOLE.LIB now supports saving configuration to the user
block. Hence, it is no longer dependent on the file systems.
- ZCONSOLE.LIB supports more configuration options (including
DHCP), as well as multi-interface support.
- Additional xmem-related functions in XMEM.LIB:
_LIN2SEG : assembler macro to convert linear (20-bit) physical
address to segmented form in XPC window (0xE000-0xEFFF).
xmemchr() : version of strchr()
paddrDS() and paddrSS() : restricted but more efficient
versions of the general paddr() function.
xstrlen() : version of strlen()
xgetint(), xgetlong() : read word or longword values from xmem.
xsetint(), xsetlong() : write word or longword values to xmem.
- New library RAND.LIB. Contains random number generators and
a means for generating initial "seed" values based on external
events. This library is a robust extension of the random
number generators in MATH.LIB.
- New TCP/IP libraries SNMP.LIB and MIB.LIB. Implements SNMP v1
basic protocol (using UDP as transport machanism) plus a data-
base for the MIB tree.
- TCP has RFC-compliant congestion avoidance algorithm.
- You can eliminate all TCP code (and/or UDP code) by defining
macros (DISABLE_TCP/DISABLE_UDP). This saves code space and
download time in applications which do not require these
protocols.
- TCP/IP supports multiple interfaces. You can now have ethernet
plus PPP at the same time. Each interface may be initialized
using macro definitions, and is fully configurable at run-time
by calling the ifconfig() function. ifconfig() is the
replacement for the deprecated tcp_config() function, however
tcp_config() is still supported for backwards compatibility.
- TCP and UDP sockets now have well-defined data handler
callbacks. The UDP handler allows you to create extremely
efficient request/response type UDP servers. The TCP handler
allows the callback to peek at the incoming data stream
(possibly modifying it in-place before the application sees
it).
- New TCP socket functions sock_xfastwrite() and
sock_xfastread(). These allow data transfer directly from/to
extended memory. Also sock_aread(), sock_axread(),
sock_awrite() and sock_axwrite() allow "atomic" reading and
writing to sockets.
- ARP handles ICMP redirect messages.
- TCP write performance improved (about double the transmit
speed compared with previous release). Read performance also
slightly improved.
- New style of configuring the TCP/IP libraries. This was
necessitated by the additional complexity resulting from the
multiple interface support. The old style of configuration is
supported for backwards compatibility. The new style allows
"set and forget" configurations, including the ability to
create custom configurations which will not be overwritten by
new releases of Dynamic C. You direct each sample program to
use a particular configuration by defining a single macro
(#define TCPCONFIG <config-number>).
- BOOTP/DHCP allocates its own UDP socket buffer. No need to
account for this in MAX_UDP_SOCKET_BUFFERS.
- BOOTP.LIB can be forced to use only BOOTP (not DHCP) if symbol
BOOTP_ONLY is defined.
- A macro has been added to the BIOS, USE_TIMERA_PRESCALE,
to enable the timer A prescale available on the Rabbit 3000.
Enabling this feature will run the peripheral clock directly
off the CPU clock instead of the default CPU clock/2, allowing
higher baud rates.
- The crystal frequency detection is now done in the BIOS
as well (instead of just at compile time). This means that
things like baud rates will work properly when a binary
image from a board with one crystal frequency is loaded
onto a board with a different crystal frequency. Works also
with the download secondary programs.
- Dynamic C now polls the target only when it is explicity
told to. Polling remains enabled until explicilty disabled
(via "Run | Poll Target" or Ctrl + O).
- FTP server keeps a single copy of the handler functions,
instead of a copy for each session. This means a handler
function can call another function (since "state" ptr isn't
needed to find the handlers). Improvement: ftp_dflt_list() now
calls the "get size" handler for each file.
- Improved the speed of the HTTP server sending static ximported
files by replacing root copy with a sock_xfastwrite.
- Modified enableIObus() and disableIObus() so that they do not
use save variables of shadow registers. This allows the
functions to be independent of each other.
- RCM3000, RCM3100, RCM3200 samples libraries are now #use'd with
lcd122key7.lib. This will produce an error message if
PORTA_AUX_IO is not defined.
- LCD_Keypad sample programs have been updated to use dispInit()
in place of glInit() and keyInit(). dispLedOut() replaces
ledOut().
- Smart Star milli-Amp function descriptions and samples modified
to accommodate factory calibrations in unit amperes.
BUG FIXES
Compiler Bugs
- Defect #657 fixed. Runtime errors in #nodebug code will now
display the correct file and line information instead of
causing Dynamic C to hang.

typically the PDDR register.
GUI/Debugger Bugs

Entire Flash to File" dialog to remove potentially problematic
interface elements.
- Defect #769 fixed. State of menu item "Compile | Include debug
code/RST 28 instructions" is now maintained solely by project
files.
Library Bugs
- Defect #182 fixed. It was possible for read_rtc() to read the
RTC while it was updating, occasionally causing invalid data.
(Previously incorrectly listed as being fixed in VERSION
7.02P.) Note that read_rtc_32kHz(), added in 7.02P to allow
access to the RTC while running off the 32kHz oscillator, is
now deprecated. Use read_rtc() instead.

VERSION 7.25P
NEW FEATURES
- Feature request #380. The clock doubler setting will
now be optimized for the particular CPU clock detected
instead of simply selecting a default value.
- Feature request #487. STDIO output can now be
directed to a serial port for debugging under run mode.
- The baud rate used for downloading is now negotiated
between the PC and the target. This will speed up
downloading for various boards, particuarly if a USB
converter is used where rates up to 460800 baud are possible.
- The baud rates for debugging with the BIOS have been
expanded from 57600 and 115200 to 9600, 19200, 38400,
57600, and 115200. This aids in debugging with boards
with slower crystals.
- Dynamic C now works with a wider selection of USB to Serial
converters. The quality of drivers for converters varies
widely, and Dynamic C attempts to compensate for these
differences.
- http_idle function added. This function returns non-zero
if all of the http_handler functions are not handling
active connections.
- Support was added for more large-sector flash products.
- Alt+F7 and Alt+F8 will force the debugger to step by c
statements rather than by instruction when the assembly
window is open. (Introduced in 7.10).
- *.MAP files added to File Open dialog box.
- Single-stepping control improved in uC/OS-II. Can now
confine stepping to current task.
- Callback function for ICMP echo requests (PING) can be
defined. See documentation in ICMP.LIB for the macros
ICMP_ECHOREQ_CALLBACK and ICMP_RESPOND_TO_BCAST_ECHOREQ.
- Removed initial bios compile. Bios will automatically compile
the first time a program is compiled.
- Scrolling functionality improved for STDIO window.
- New "Tips of the Day" added.
- Overall compiler speed improved.
- Debugger runs programs full speed after 1 or more set
breakpoints have been removed, either by toggling each
breakpoint off or by using the Run|Clear All Breakpoints
command.

timeouts.
- Defect #607 fixed. TCP connections do not lock up if socket
buffer size is less than the MSS.

*****************************************************************
VERSION 7.21P
NEW FEATURES
- Xmem code can now be compiled into the bios. Root code
and data usage by libraries and BIOS reduced.
BUG FIXES
Compiler Bugs
- Defect #634 fixed. An improper check was occurring in
evaluating a function's return value when returning a char.
This bug was caused by the fix to defect #532, so the fix
was removed until a better one is implemented and #532
is now unfixed.
- Defect #635 fixed. Using sizeof on a constant string literal
incorrectly resulted in an error.
- Defect #636 fixed. Char arrays assigned a string the same
length as the array dimension produced errors
when only a warning should have been produced.
- Defect #641 fixed. Null terminator was omitted from strings
in xdata statements.
- Defect #643 fixed. Targetlesscomp.dll now has the correct base
frequencies for the RCM2000, RCM2010, RCM2020, and SR9100.
- Defect #646 fixed. Structure block copies failed
when "#pragma DATAWAITSUSED on" was applied.
- Defect #648 fixed. Cofunction abondonment in xmem broke
when abondonment code appeared after the xmem page change.
- Defect #665 fixed. More than about 256 variables could not
be declared in a single statement in global scope.
Library Bugs
- Defect #638 fixed. writeUserBlock() now works when #class
auto is used.
- Defect #642 fixed. The debug kernel does not allow virtual
watchdogs to be counted while single stepping.
- Defect #645 fixed. SHort delay added to the end of ModemInit()
and CofModemInit() to prevent modem lockups on some hardware.
Documentation Additions
- Tech Note 219 - Root memory usage reduction tips added.
- Added uC/OS-II documentation from Jean J. Labrosse in the
samples/ucos-ii directory. Newv251.pdf contains all of the
features added since V2.00, and Relv251.pdf contains release
notes for version 2.51. Several API changes have been
introduced in v 2.51.
*****************************************************************
VERSION 7.20P
NEW FEATURES
- SR9150/SR9160 libraries added for full support of
SR9150 and SR9160 specific functionality. This
includes libraries supporting IO, RS232,RS485, TCPIP
and SR9150/SR9160 hardware specific functions.
- Support has been improved for flash devices with 4096-byte
sectors (i.e. the SST39 series). In addition, support for
compiling to "large-sector" devices (sector sizes > 4kb) has
been added. See the Rabbit Designer s Handbook for a list of
supported devices.
- Feature Request #480. The enum keyword is now supported per the
ANSI C specification.
- ucos2.lib has been upgraded to version 2.51 which includes
mutexes and event flags. The library has been broken up into
multiple files to more closely match the source structure of
uCOS-II.
- Feature Request #473. Added the built in macros __FILE__,
__LINE__, __DATE__, and __TIME__. Refers to section 6.8.8 of
the ANSI standard. The difference between our implementation
is that the __TIME__ and __DATE__ of the modules reflect either
the time of compilation for the bios or the .c file. The
reason for this is that we lack linking, so libraries are
essentially compiled at the same time as the file being
compiled (ie the bios, or the user s program).
- Sample program to interface to ADS787 chip added in
/SAMPLES/SPI.
- Cloning is now all "fast" cloning, and options have been added
for "sterile" clones, unconditional copy of a second flash, and
more. See RabbitBios.c for details.
- Added console_enable and console_disable to Zconsole, which
allow the sharing of the connection.
- Added ConsoleLogin structure which will prompt for a name and
password when a connection is established. There is a matching
CONSOLE_LOGIN_BACKUP macro for saving and restoring the
structure.
- Efficiency and robustness improvements to FTP.
- FTP_CLIENT and FTP_SERVER libraries updated to support passive
mode connections. This makes it more convenient for clients
and servers which are on different sides of a firewall.
- FTP_CLIENT supports upload/download of more than 32k using a
user-specified data handler function. The data handler can
also generate dynamic content, or parse incoming content
on-the-fly.
- Both FTP_CLIENT and FTP_SERVER libraries can co-exist in the
one application.
- The default FTP server allows files owned by the anonymous user
to be accessed by any other defined user. Only files which are
accessible to the logged-in user are listed. The userID of the
anonymous user is set via the ftp_set_anonymous() function.
- The function names for the default FTP handlers in library
TcpIp\FTP_SERVER.LIB have been changed. They are forward
declared in the "header" portion. See
"Samples\TcpIp\Http\GetFile.c". Defining FTP_WRITABLE_FILES
permits FTP client to upload. This requires support from
application.
- TARGETPROC_LOADER has been reworked to support the new
coldloader and PilotBIOS. Ethernet loading should be seamlessly
transparent to the target board and DynamicC.
- VSERIAL.LIB handles remote-echo over telnet properly. Programs
that use this library will also have to #use "DCRTCP.LIB"
directly now, instead of relying on VSERIAL.LIB to do it.
- ZCONSOLE.LIB now uses the telnet code from VSERIAL.LIB, so echo
is handled properly.
- Added SERA_USEPORTD macro to RS232 library. Allows alternate
pins to be used for serial port A.
- Constant string optimization implemented.
- The Communications Options dialog now contains a checkbox to
enable/disable processor verification. The default is checked
(verify the processor with the DSR line) and the state is
maintained per project. This replaces the Tx Mode options
which are no longer used.
Improvements to Smart Star library
- Added run-time error checking to functions.
- Added display/keypad module configurations.
- Added ledOut() function to library.
- Added serMode(3) configuration to support both 5-wire
and RS485.
- Added end-of-conversion timeout to anaIn() function.
- Added return value: -3, eeprom unreadable, to
anaInEERd() and anaOutEERd() functions.
- Modified AD/DA samples to demonstrate above eeprom
error message.
- Structs and unions now obey the same scoping rules as other
identifiers. That is, a structure or union type defined in a
function no longer has global scope.
- Feature Request #477. Stdio window row capacity increased from
150 to 10000, with row and column limits maintained in the
registry.
- #asm blocks are now marked "nodebug" by default, even if an
enclosing function is marked "debug". This means that a
breakpoint can not be set inside a #asm block unless "#asm
debug" is explicitly used.
- Call graph in map file now suppresses subtrees of functions
that have already been printed.
- Compiling with "Used Attached Target" no longer compiles the
bios, and requires that the target has a running bios/program.
The Options menu now has a Define Target Configuration Command.
The Compile to *.bin file command now use the target
configuration defined in the new option to compile, instead of
popping the Target Configuration Dialog up for every
compilation.

watch expressions are added.
- Defect #564 fixed. A font change can now be cancelled after
selecting a new font.
- Defect #596 fixed. When compiling, the Compile button is now
inactive until compilation is completed. Hitting the Compile
button again during a compile no longer causes a problem.

*****************************************************************
VERSION 7.06P2
BUG FIXES
Sample Program Bugs

xstring.c are accurate.
File System Bugs
- Defect #548 fixed. FS2_RAM_RESERVE is no longer counted twice
in the reserved RAM.
- Defect #592 fixed. FS2_RAM_RESERVE definition in
RABBITBIOS.C is now in terms of 4096-byte blocks rather

TCP/IP Bugs
- Defect #409 fixed. TCP not sending correct keepalive segments.
- Defect #411 fixed. TCP timeout/retransmit strategy not
implemented correctly.
- Defect #412 fixed. TCP not handling dropped or out-of-order
segments correctly.

sockets.
- Defect #471 fixed. After a connection was SYN queued,
a re-transmit of the initial opening of the window does
not have the proper flags set.
- Defect #473 fixed. Specifying the remote IP address
and remote port in tcp_listen() and tcp_extlisten()
now works correctly.
- Defect #474 fixed. DHCP did not accept packets <250
bytes. It now rejects a packet if it is <240.
- Defect #480 fixed. SMTP.LIB and FTP_CLIENT.LIB
were relying on MY_IP_ADDRESS directly, and now
use the proper API call to catch runtime address changes.
- Defect #483 fixed. resolve_cancel(0) no longer makes
subsequent DNS resolves fail.
- Defect #490 fixed. The HTTP server now properly
ends 401 responses (in particular, the Opera browser
now works with HTTP.LIB s authentication).
- Defect #502 fixed. A UDP socket will no longer receive
broadcast data sent to a different port from the one
on which it is listening.

not using DHCP client library (BOOTP.LIB)
- Defect #530 fixed. The macros BUFSIZE and MAXBUFS in
NET.LIB have been renamed to ETH_BUFSIZE and ETH_MAXBUFS.
- Defect #535 fixed. Using the resolve functions in DNS.LIB
without a nameserver defined no longer causes a divide-by-
zero error. In conjunction with this fix, some error
return values for the resolve functions have been changed
(see below).
- Defect #562 fixed. Ethernet frames of larger than
ETH_MTU are no longer accepted by the packet driver.
This caused a potential crash problem in ICMP.LIB.
- Defect #566 fixed. Echo request packets now generated
correctly. Also, echo requests are no longer lost
when using PPPoE
- Defect #569 fixed. In ZCONSOLE.LIB, the subject line in
a mail message was sometimes incorrectly treated as the
first line in the body.
- Defect #593 fixed. Under heavy load specific sized
packets could cause a lockup.
- Defect #605 fixed. HTTP server long delays when processing
post-style form data. Especially noticeable with MSIE
browser.
- Defect #607 fixed. PPP buffer now allocated correctly
after packet is dropped.
Changes to ARP (Address Resolution Protocol):
- These changes should be transparent to most applications
except those that use UDP sockets. A call to udp_open() or
udp_extopen() used to block while waiting for ARP resolution.
These calls are now non-blocking, so it is possible for the
application to call udp_sendto() on a socket which is not
resolved. This will cause the datagram to be dropped. To
help old applications, two new UDP functions are provided:
udp_waitopen() and udp_waitsend(). These functions are
identical to udp_extopen() and udp_sendto() respectively,
except that an additional parameter specifies the maximum
amount of time to block waiting for ARP resolution to
complete. A value of 100ms should be sufficient in most
cases.
- ARP is now handled using a cache table in all cases.
The table includes router and host information. There is no
blocking waiting for ARP when opening a TCP or UDP socket.
ARP cache entries are automatically refreshed
based on short or long timeouts. ethernet address is no
longer stored in the socket structure.
- New sock_resolved() function for testing whether a TCP or
UDP socket is resolved to a valid hardware (ethernet)
address.
General improvements to the TCP/IP library suite:
- TCP: The "functions" sock_wait_established(), sock_wait_data()
and sock_wait_clsoed() are deprecated; do not use them in new
code. These are really macros that "goto sock_err" when
trouble is noticed. All sample program have had these removed
and replaced with looping code that calls tcp_tick(). See the
file "Samples/RCM2200/myecho.c" for an example.
- TCP correctly computes round-trip-time estimators, which is
important for handling timeout/retransmit strategy.
- TCP protocol core rewritten. Much better throughput
over long latency and/or unreliable links. Code efficiency
improvements for lower processor overhead. Better conformance
to host requirements RFC. Nagle algorithm performed correctly.
Common sections of code factored out into functions since
the old code was somewhat inconsistent. TCP is believed to
be much more reliable and less prone to odd "lock-ups".
- New APIs for setting TTL and TOS for TCP/UDP sockets.
sock_set_ttl() and sock_set_tos().
- ICMP errors passed up to transport protocol layers via
upcall functions. TCP handles transparently to the
application. UDP allows the application to receive ICMP
messages via the normal udp_recvfrom() interface. Additional
UDP socket mode flags to control ICMP processing.
- Socket error messages handled by number (not strings). New
API in NETERRNO.LIB for checking and printing errors e.g.
sock_perror(). Up to two error codes may be queued to a
socket.
- Debugging and verbosity defines have been rationalized. The
programmer can #define xxx_DEBUG and xxx_VERBOSE to control
DC "nodebug" settings and debugging messages. xxx is the
library name e.g. TCP_VERBOSE for TCP.LIB. Can also set
DCRTCP_DEBUG and DCRTCP_VERBOSE to enable for all TCP/IP core
libraries.
- Improved control over library constants via #defines.
- Packet driver time delays reduced.
- IP and transport layers drop malformed packets which used
to get through (causing possible crashes and security
problems).
- Minor UDP checksumming bug fixed.
- TCP ignores unbelievable RST segments.
- DHCP client sets broadcast flag correctly, and understands more
information from the server. Does not crash with host option.
Accepts timezone information from server. New API:
dhcp_get_timezone().
- Miscellaneous documentation clarifications for some of the
API functions. (Control-H function descriptions).
- Many of the polymorphic API functions now take void * for
socket rather than "sock_type *".
- sock_mode() enhanced by addition of some macros to perform
type-safe updates of single mode flags.
- New udp_peek() function for examining datagram information
before actually removing the datagram from the UDP socket
receive buffer. This also returns more detail than
udp_recvfrom(), including the incoming TOS and whether the
datagram was directed to the broadcast address.
- In HTTP.LIB, calling the epilog function automatically in an
abort condition after the prolog function has been called has
now been changed. Now, the user must set the abort_notify field
in the HttpState structure to 1 in the prolog function to
indicate that the epilog function should be called on abort.
As before, the cancel field in the HttpState structure will be
set to 1 in such a situation. This functionality has been
extended to CGI functions as well (see the New Features below).
- In HTTP.LIB, the abort_notify field in the HttpState structure
can be set to 1 in a CGI function if the user wants the CGI
function to be called one more time in case of a connection
abort condition. The cancel field in the HttpState structure
will be set to 1 in such a situation. This could be used to
release resources that have been locked, for example.
- HTTP: Added HTTP_USERDATA_SIZE to extend make
"HttpState.userdata[]". This space is totally for user
program. It s cleared on each new connection. If
HTTP_USERDATA_SIZE is left undefined, this
additional field of HttpState isn t included. See
"Samples/TargetProc/SLog-App.c" for usage. Documented in the
TCP/IP User s Manual rev. C.
- For automatically generated forms in HTTP.LIB, the
epilog function will now be called even if the connection
is aborted (as long as the prolog function has been called
first). The "cancel" variable in the HttpState structure
is 0 to indicate that the epilog function is being called
normally, and 1 to indicate that it is being called in a
cancel situation.
Documented in the TCP/IP User s Manual rev. C.
- Added support for dotted decimal IP addresses in
resolve_name_start.
- New error return code RESOLVE_NONAMESERVER has been
added to resolve_name_start(), resolve_name_check(),

Additional Documentation
*****************************************************************
VERSION 7.05
NEW FEATURES
- Command line compiler released and documented in Dynamic C
User s Manual.
- Compiling a program into two flash chips has been made
nearly seamless. #defining the macro USE_2NDFLASH_CODE is the
only thing the user needs to do to make it work. Two extra bin
files are generated when the program goes into two flash so
that an EPROM burner can be used. A single large bin file
is also generated for use with the Rabbit Field Utility and
cloning.
- SPI library added along with a sample interfacing to a
serial ADC chip. See \SAMPLES\SPI\.
- GPS library added along with a sample interfacing to a
GPS receiver. See \SAMPLES\GPS\.
- New I2C library and sample. Allows Rabbit to act as a
master for a Philips I2C bus. Documented in Application
Note AN215. See \SAMPLES\I2C\.
- Major changes have been made to the
UDP socket API. These changes will greatly improve the
flexibility of our UDP implementation. They are
documented in the Dynamic C TCP/IP User s Manual
- Instruction Set Reference item added to Help Menu.
- Error logging implemented and documented in Dynamic C
User s Manual.
- A serial download manager sample program for boards with 2
flash has been added in \SAMPLES\DOWN_LOAD\.
- New filesystem library (FS2.LIB and friends). FS2 documented
in Dynamic C User s Manual. It is mostly compatible with
the current filesystem (FILESYSTEM.LIB) except for
initialization. FS2 provides the following enhancements:
. Allows overwriting parts of an existing file.
. Multiple extents ("partitions") may be defined.
. Supports any combination of flash memory, battery-backed
RAM, or user-defined devices with a flash-like interface.
. Supports large- and small-sector flash memory.
. Runtime error reporting improved by using symbols
defined in ERRNO.LIB. These codes are returned in the
errno variable if a filesystem routine encounters an
error.
The original filesystem is still supported, however any
enhancements will only be made to FS2.
- Runtime error reporting is now improved, adding the
file and line at which the error occurred, unless
nodebug was in effect in the source code for that line.
- Sample serial downloader for 2 flash board added,
- If a file generates errors, compilation now stops at the
end of the file.
- Added packet drivers. These drivers allow for packet based
serial communication using a variety of packet separation
modes. Function description documented in Dynamic C User s
Manual.
- BL2000 serves Java applet to control Analog output.
Samples\BL2000\Applet\ has web page to deliver a Java
applet (source in Applet\pages\AnalogApplet.java).
Includes pre-compiled .class files, so you can just
re-compile from Dynamic C, download and run! Applet
tested on NS Communicator 4.72 and MSIE 5.00. See
Samples\BL2000\Applet\README.txt for details.
- "Smart" BIOS Recompilation. Dynamic C now keeps a dependency
list for the libraries included in the BIOS with #use.
The BIOS is only recompiled when one of the libraries it is
dependent upon is modified (or a library that one of those
libraries #use s). Nested #use is also supported,
but any #use in a library must be in a BeginHeader/EndHeader
block.
- Fast cloning option added, see RabbitBIOS.c.
- Complete rewrite of the DNS subsystem.
- New functions sauth_getuserid(), sauth_setpassword(), and
sauth_removeuser() in ZSERVER.LIB. sauth_getuserid()
gets the user id for a given username. sauth_setpassword()
sets the password for a given user id. sauth_removeuser()
removes the given user from the user list. Note any web
pages associated with that user should be reassigned to
another user, or have authentication removed (by passing
the parameter "" to sspec_setrealm()).
- New function http_urldecode() to HTTP.LIB. Converts
a string with HTTP transfer-coding "tokens" (such as
%20 (hex) for space) into actual values. Changes "+"
into a space.
- New function http_contentencode() to HTTP.LIB. Converts
a string to include HTTP transfer-coding "tokens"
(e.g. @ (decimal) for at-sign) where appropriate.
Encodes these chars: "<>@%#&"
- New callback macro HTTP_CUSTOM_HEADERS in
HTTP.LIB. The developer can define this macro to be a
function of the following prototype: void my_headers
(HttpState* state, char* buffer, int bytes); The state
parameter is a pointer to the state structure for the
calling web server, the buffer parameter is the buffer
in which the header(s) can be written, and bytes is the
number of bytes available in the buffer. The macro will
be called whenever HTTP headers are being sent.
Collected all runtime error code into a single new library,
ERRORS.LIB. Also added three new runtime errors:
"invalid cofunction instance", "unexpected interrupt",
and "bad parameter passed to I/O function".
- New functions sspec_setpreformfunction() and
sspec_getpreformfunction() in ZSERVER.LIB. These
functions add support for a user-supplied function that
will be called just before HTML form generation.
- New function udp_send, which will send a datagram to the
remote host on the UDP socket.
- New function udp_sendto, which will send a datagram to a
specified remote host and port.
- New function udp_recv, which will receive a datagram from
a remote host.
- New function udp_recvfrom, which will receive a datagram
from a remote host, and also return the IP address and port
number of the sender.
- New functions tcp_extopen, tcp_extlisten, and udp_extopen
have been defined. These allow a user to specify their
own socket buffers in xmem (with xalloc) instead of having
them allocated from the pool. Hence, it is now possible for
the user to handle socket buffer management.
- Added functions resolve_name_start(), resolve_name_check(),
and resolve_cancel() to perform nonblocking DNS lookups.
- Added the following configuration macros for DNS:
* DNS_MAX_RESOLVES (4 by default) -- number of
concurrent DNS queries that can be done. This specifies
the size of an internal table that is allocated in xmem.
* DNS_MAX_NAME (64 by default) -- hostnames to look up
(including an appended default domain) must be no larger
than this macro, including the null-terminator. For
temporary storage, a variable of this size must be placed
on the stack in DNS processing.
* DNS_MAX_DATAGRAM_SIZE (512 by default) --
specifies the maximum length in bytes of a DNS datagram
that can be sent or received. A root data buffer of this
size is allocated for DNS support.
* DNS_RETRY_TIMEOUT (2000 by default) -- specifies
the number of milliseconds to wait before retrying a
DNS request.
* DNS_NUMBER_RETRIES (2 by default) -- specifies the
number of times a request will be retried after an error
or a timeout.
* DNS_MIN_KEEP_COMPLETED (10000 by default) --
specifies the number of milliseconds a completed request
will be kept in an internal table before it can be flushed,
so that the user can retrieve the results.
* DNS_SOCK_BUF_SIZE (1024 by default) -- specifies
the size in bytes of the socket receive buffer for the
DNS socket. An xmem buffer of this size will be allocated.
Compatibility has been preserved for the resolve() function,
call the MAX_DOMAIN_LENGTH macro, and the
DISABLE_DNS macro.
- The sizeof operator can be used inside assembly blocks.
Documented in the Dynamic C User s Manual.
- ZCONSOLE.LIB now supports FS2.LIB. The functions
con_backup_bytes(), con_set_files_lx(), and
con_set_backup_lx() have been created for use with FS2.LIB.
- All of the new and improved TCP/IP functionality has been
documented in the Dynamic C TCP/IP User s Manual
- A new registry entry, Include Time Stamp, has been added under
the Dynamic C Compiler Section. This setting is set to true
by default, but can be edited so that Dynamic C will compile
files without including time stamp information.
- Access to time/date stamp added:
long dc_timestamp;
- Ability to #define macros in compiler options GUI added.
- Ability to select a different LIB.DIR file in compiler
options GUI added.
- When a program is compiled for debug, the source file will
no longer scroll to the beginning of the code when debug
mode is entered.

user interrupt vector that was set up before sock_init.
It now only sets up a vector if PD_INTVEC is defined to
the interrupt vector.
- Defect #426 fixed. WriteFlash2() was assuming an ID block
existed at the top of the second flash and not writing

override the default port on a HTTP server.
- It is no longer necessary to change USE115KBAUD in the
BIOS to change the baud rate between 115200 and 57600 ,
an internal macro was defined.
- The initial load of the pilot BIOS has been sped up to
57600 baud, resulting in a reduced BIOS load time.
- Symbol and literal string table size increased.
- filesystem: File access is faster due to lookup tables in RAM
added fshift() for removing data from the beginning of
a file added fs_reserve_blocks() to reserve space that can
only be allocated by privileged files (128-143) Documented in
Dynamic C User s Manual.
- Dynamic C now always generates an even sized program to
facilitate checksumming using word-wise methods.
- For uC/OS-II support, you should define the new macro
MAX_SOCKET_LOCKS. This defines the number of
socket locks that will be allocated. It defaults to
MAX_TCP_SOCKET_BUFFERS + MAX_UDP_SOCKET_BUFFERS.
This macro is necessary because we can no longer calculate
the number of socket locks needed based on the number of
socket buffers, now that the user can manage their own
socket buffers.
- sock_bytesready and sock_dataready have been modified to
work with the new UDP sockets. They will return the size
of the next datagram to be read if there is one waiting.
sock_bytesready will return -1 if there is no datagram
waiting. sock_dataready will return 0 if there is no datagram
waiting--hence, sock_dataready can not distinguish between
no datagram waiting and an empty datagram waiting.
- The functions sock_read, sock_write, sock_fastread,
sock_fastwrite, sock_gets, sock_puts, sock_getc, sock_putc,
and sock_preread no longer support UDP sockets.
- The functions sock_recv_init, sock_recv, and sock_recv_from
have been removed
- UDP socket buffers are now circular, and can accept as many
datagrams as will fit in the buffer
- TCP and UDP socket buffer management has been changed:
- The socket buffer pool has been split into separate TCP and
UDP buffer pools
- The macro MAX_TCP_SOCKET_BUFFERS gives the
number of TCP socket buffers that will be allocated. It
defaults to 4.
- The macro TCP_BUF_SIZE gives the size of a TCP socket
buffer. It is split into a read buffer and a write buffer of
equal sizes. It defaults to 4096 bytes.
- The macro MAX_UDP_SOCKET_BUFFERS gives the number of UDP
socket buffers that will be allocated. It defaults to 0.
- The macro UDP_BUF_SIZE gives the size of a UDP socket
buffer. It is all one read buffer, since UDP datagrams are
sent out immediately. It defaults to 4096 bytes.
- For backwards compatibility, MAX_TCP_SOCKET_BUFFERS
will take on the value of MAX_SOCKETS if it is defined.
- For backwards compatibility, TCP_BUF_SIZE and UDP_BUF_SIZE
will take on the value of SOCK_BUF_SIZE if it is defined.
- For backwards compatibility, TCP_BUF_SIZE and UDP_BUF_SIZE
will take on twice the value of tcp_MaxBufSize if it is
defined.
- The preprocessor symbol FS2_RAM_RESERVE may be defined in
STACK.LIB in order to reserve a block of RAM for use by FS2.
- The maximum compilation errors and warnings can now be set in
the dialog box shown with the Options | Compiler menu
selection.
- Defining the label SERB_USEPORTD will cause serial
port B to use it s alternate rx/tx pins on parallel port D
- Additional error checking for module headers. Specifically,
errors are reported if BeginHeaders and EndHeaders
do not match.
- Origin directives now support a follows specifier and a
resume specifier to allow compiling around the system ID
block kludgelessly. Documented in Designer s Handbook
- Compile to bin file has an option for padding or not padding
the file with zero s for program code that starts at
addresses > 0.
- A Intel HEX file is now always generated for all compiles.
- Use HTTP_MAXNAME in "HttpType" structure instead of
hardcoded constant 20 for field "type[]". This allows
MIME types of longer than 19 chars in the HttpType structure.
Developer can override HTTP_MAXNAME in their source file.
- sock_puts now has error code (-1). It can be generated if it
is called with a UDP socket.
- sock_gets now has error code (-1). It can be generated if it
is called with a UDP socket.
- Made readUserBlock, writeUserBlock functions backward
compatible with older or no system ID block.
- All new/improved TCP/IP functionality has been documented in
the Dynamic C TCP/IP User s Manual.
- An appendix of useful compiler and library defined macros has
been added to the Dynamic C User s Manual.
- PCB Layout and EMI information was added to the Hardware Design
chapter of the Designer s Handbook.
- Wait State Bug information was added as an appendix to the
Designer s Handbook.

- Defect #383 fixed. TargetlessComp GUI boards list
now contains all Rabbit boards. New board will be
added upon compiler upgrade, while retaining any
previously configured boards.
- Defect #416 fixed. The header for chkHardReset() has
been corrected.
- The GOCR register is now initialized to A0h. This makes the
CLK pin low, before it was driven by the crystal. This
actually changed in 7.02, but was omitted in the release note.
- Cloning is set to NOT clone the whole flash by default now,
just the user program and BIOS.
- DNS lookup behavior with default domains has changed
slightly. If the name to be looked up contains a . , then it
is looked up directly first; if that fails, it is looked up
with the default domain appended. If the name to be looked up
does not contain a . , then it is looked up with the default
domain appended first; if that fails, it is looked up directly.
- Runtime error chapter in Dynamic C manual has been
updated and expanded.
*****************************************************************
VERSION 7.04P
New features
- New library for AES(Rijndael) encryption
- New RCM2100 specific samples have been added along with
Realtek and IP driver modifications for full RCM2100 support.
- Added the WriteFlash2() function, which will write a buffer
to the second flash devices on boards with two flash installed
(this function is NOT compatible with the flash file system).
- New sample to display memory usage.
- The allocation of memory quadrants was rearranged when
compiling to flash:
quadrant 0 (0x00000-0x3FFFF) is the primary flash
quadrant 1 (0x40000-0x7FFFF) is the second flash (if
installed)
quadrant 2 (0x80000-0xBFFFF) is RAM
quadrant 3 (0xC0000-0xFFFFF) is RAM
Previous releases of Dynamic C would swap quadrant 3 between
RAM and the second flash to write to the second flash.
Bug Fixes
- Defect #256 fixed. The TBCSR and TBCR registers are
now cleared in the BIOS, preventing odd behavior with
some programs that used the timer B interrupt.
- Defect #278 fixed. Dynamic C correctly reports errors concerning
running out of xmem code space.
- Defect #280 fixed. Dynamic C crashes when the same function
names is used in a function description block in three or
more libraries.
- Defect #283 fixed. Cloning was broken in Dynamic C
versions 7.02 and 7.03.
- Defect #288 fixed. ModemSetDTR() was incorrect in modem.lib
- Defect #289 fixed. RabbitLink no longer loses serial console
communication with the target in normal run mode.
- Defect #290 fixed. GUI for defining targetless compile data
will now accept international floating point separators and
will automatically convert any existing registry targetless
compile data to use the current symbol.
- Defect #293 fixed. Dynamic C lost communication with the BIOS
on boards running low-frequency crystals (e.g. 3MHz).
- Defect #307 fixed. Delays in cofunctions were not working.
- Defect #309 fixed. Flash file system could cause inadvertent
writes to Rabbit 2000 registers.
- Defect #330 fixed. fshift() could corrupt lookup tables

*****************************************************************
VERSION 7.03P
New features
- The library zserver.lib now provides support for variables
located in xmem. sspec_addxmemvar() adds an xmem variable,
and the macro SSPEC_XMEMVARLEN defines the size of the
stack-allocated buffer that is used in sspec_readvariable()
for xmem variables. SSPEC_XMEMVARLEN is 20 by default.
- New function sspec_getvarkind() in zserver.lib returns the
kind of variable represented (i.e., INT8, INT16, INT32,
FLOAT32, or PTR16).
- New function sspec_getvartype() in zserver.lib returns the
type of variable (i.e., SSPEC_XMEMVAR or SSPEC_ROOTVAR)
- Flash filesystem features: shifting out contents from the
beginning of a file using fshift(), reserving blocks that
will remain available for privileged files.
Bug Fixes
- Defect #248 fixed. Mail sent through the SMTP client was not
readable by some mail readers.
- Defect #265 fixed. sock_bytesready() sometimes failed
with ASCII TCP sockets.
- Defect #267 fixed. block checksums were being incorrectly
modified
*****************************************************************
VERSION 7.02P3
Bug Fixes
- Defect #261 fixed. WriteFlash() would write the data
requested but trash the rest of the flash sector.
*****************************************************************
VERSION 7.02P
New features
- Libraries for dial-up PPP connections
- Dynamic C can now be used to program and debug over Ethernet
and Internet.
- The Rabbit Field Utility can now load over Ethernet/Internet.
- Programs can now be compiled to a .bin file
without an attached target.
- Calls to xmem functions no longer use a root proxy
(i.e., "root bouncer"), but use the lcall instruction.
This improves code size and speed.
- Protected and shared variables are now supported.
- More descriptive error messages can be displayed by
pressing F1 when the message window is active.
- A good map file is now generated for compiled programs.
- The #class directive can be used to change the
default storage class to auto/static. In DC, the
default is normally static.
- Users can now define their own runtime error handler
instead of the default function using the
defineErrorHandler() function.
- Sleepy mode is better supported: periodic
interrupts are disabled when the CPU is switched to
the 32kHz oscillator and re enabled when switching
back to the main oscillator. In addition, a new
function, updateTimers(), can be called while in
sleepy mode to update TICK_TIMER, MS_TIMER, and
SEC_TIMER which normally depend on the periodic
interrupt.
- New functions strcmpi() and strncmpi() perform case-
insensitive string compares
- New function Disable_HW_WDT() disables the hardware
watchdog timer.
- Watch expression text control is now a combobox
- A Tip of the Day dialog will come up if its Show on startup
checkbox is checked, or when the tip menu item in Help is
clicked.
- New TCP/IP function, sock_bytesready(), provides
functionality similar to sock_dataready(), except
that it is more useful for ASCII mode sockets.
To save memory, sock_dataready() should no longer be
used, although it is provided for backward
compatibility. Note that sock_bytesready() returns
-1 for an empty socket, whereas sock_dataready()
returns 0 for an empty socket.
- Compiler option for creating a .bin file
with or without including the bios.
- New Watch Code radio buttons in Options/Compiler menu dialog
box to enable any watch expressions or to restrict expressions
to save space.
- New library zserver.lib (automatically included for the web
and FTP servers) provides the basis for server object handling.
It handles files (in both root and extended memory), variables,
functions, forms, and users. Files and users may now be
directly shared between the web and FTP servers. Server-
specific notes follow:
* HTTP Server
http_flashspec may still be used for the web server. Define
HTTP_NO_FLASHSPEC if you do not wish to use the
http_flashspec structure.
* FTP Server
The FTP server must use the new zserver.lib functionality.
The FTP handler interface has changed. One more function to
handle directory listings has been added, and an offset
parameter has been added to the read and write functions.
See the TCP/IP High Level Protocols manual for more\
information.
- The web server can now automatically generate and parse forms,
which makes it much easier to modify variables through a web
browser. See the sample program form1.c and the TCP/IP High
Level Protocols manual for more information.
- Added a new function paddr which converts a logical address
into a physical address.
- Added smtp_setserver() to smtp.lib, which allows setting the
SMTP server at runtime.
- bios/ramonlybios.c and bios/ramonlycoldload provided for custom
boards having no flash with RAM connected to CS0/OE0/WE0
- A macro CS1_ALWAYS_ON was added to allow the BIOS to easily be
changed to keep CS1 always active
- Added support for 12 new flash devices.
- A library for performing MD5 hashes, MD5.LIB, including a demo
program, MD5_TEST.C
Bug Fixes

- Defect #45 fixed. strtol tailptr problem corrected.
- Defect #53 fixed. Expressions to sizeof operator do not
generate code unless they have a side effect (i.e., contain ++,
--, or an assigment operator). This feature is not portable,
since no sizeof expressions are evaluated in ANSI C.
- Defect #74 fixed. Fixes bug with runwatch for auto variables.
- Defect #82 fixed. A warning is now issued if a library (.lib)
or a source (.c) file line length exceeds maximum allowed
(512).
- Defect #85 fixed. Lcalls can be made with two arguments: the
first being a constant, interpreted as the xpc, followed by
either a label or a constant, interpreted as the logical
address. Lcalls can also be made with a label as the only
argument.
- Defect #87 fixed. Dynamic C no longer crashes when attempting
to compile to a write protected directory, but issues an error
message instead.
- Defect #107 fixed. Fixed a GPF that can occur if Dynamic C
is opened on a com port that is already in use.
- Defect #112 fixed. In HTTP.LIB, file lengths are now
represented by long integers to allow images and
SSI-included files > 32kb.
- Defect #113 fixed.

ISO/ANSI specification. Only constant literals or static
storage addresses should be allowed in initializer expressions.
Some complex expressions with addresses are unsupported.

data arrays compiled due to 16-bit overflow. Root data arrays
now limited to a total of 32,767 elements.
- Defect #119 fixed. Com port used by Dynamic C is correctly
initialized.
- Defect #120 fixed. Function prolog/epilogs are generated
inline if compiling optimized for speed, and are only used

information, or if the function is nodebug and uses auto
variables.
- Defect #123 fixed. Programs with certain compile time errors
caused the compiler to enter an endless loop.
- Defect #124 fixed. Bug limits nesting of #if and #ifdef s
to 3 or 4 levels. New limit is 2048.

produces an error.
- Defect #205 fixed. Interference between #ximport and comments.
- Defect #208 fixed. The assembler would not allow long jumps
to forward references.
- Defect #209 fixed. All serial interrupts are explicitly
disabled during BIOS startup. This should eliminate target
communication errors.

now.
- Defect #241 fixed. An If-Modified-Since header caused the HTTP
server to close the connection.
- The error window now displays a maximum of 10 errors,
10 serious warnings, and 10 trivial warnings. Checks
for warnings and errors are separate so that when one
category is filled, messages from the other category
can still be reported.
- The coldloader can now be up to 0x4000 bytes in length.
- Any IO (ioe, ioi) instruction that immediately precedes
certain 1 byte instructions using hl to access memory
are now followed by a nop to fix hardware bug with
these instructions.
- sock_fastwrite() now refuses to send a UDP datagram that
would need to be fragmented, instead of only sending out
the first fragment

VERSION 6.57
New features
-TCP/IP socket buffers are now in extended memory,
thus freeing up some root memory and allowing more
sockets to be used. This change required several
other changes:
* Use the macro MAX_SOCKETS to define the number
of sockets that will be allocated (not including
the socket for DNS lookups). Code that uses more
than 4 sockets will not work without using the
MAX_SOCKETS macro.
* Use the macro SOCK_BUF_SIZE to determine the
size of the socket buffers--note that a TCP
socket will have two buffers of size
(SOCK_BUF_SIZE / 2) for send and receive, and a
UDP socket will have a single socket of size
SOCK_BUF_SIZE.
* Define the macro DISABLE_DNS to disable DNS
lookups. This prevents a UDP socket for DNS
from being allocated, thus saving some memory.
* tcp_MaxBufSize should no longer be used,
although backwards compatibility is preserved.
* Auto sockets (sockets allocated on the stack)
should not be used. When auto sockets are
deallocated (go out of scope), their buffer area
will not be freed for future auto sockets to use.
-TCP/IP stack is reentrant, and can be used with uC/OS
-New function xmem2xmem() added
-New cloning option, CLONEWHOLEFLASH, allows user to
clone entire flash device or just the program code.
-Flow control and parity control added to serial library

-Defect #178 fixed. TCP sockets took 10 seconds to close
when the remote side initiated the close.
-Any IO (ioe, ioi) instruction that immediately precedes
certain 1 byte instructions using hl to access memory
are now followed by a nop to fix hardware bug with
these instructions.
-Defect #181 fixed. Jackrabbit D/A channel 1 was
always disabled.

board s flash device to another board via a special
cable) has been added to the BIOS. See the designers
manual for more details.
-Dynamic C now determines the sizes of the RAM and
Flash automatically so that manual changes to BIOS
code are no longer necessary for different memory
sizes. The determination is done during the boot-
strap stage and is based on the hardware present.
-"No debug compile" compiles all code as "nodebug"
to flash memory on target. To run the program
after compiling with this command, disconnect
the target from the programming port and
toggle the reset line. Documented in DC user s
manual in chap. 12.
-"Compile to .bin file" compiles the program to a file
with the .bin extension. The .bin file may then be used
with a flash burner to program similar flash devices.
Documented in DC user s manual in chap.12.
-Selecting RAM or FLASH located in the
"Default BIOS Memory Setting" box in the "Compiler"
options window now defines the macros _RAM_ or
_FLASH_, respectively. Using these macros,
a single, user defined BIOS file can be developed
for both types of memory. Documented in DC user s
manual in chap. 12.
-The Help menu has new commands, "Operators" and
"Keywords" which open the HTML index pages for the
descriptions of those items.
-Stack Allocation Functions added; documented in DC user s
manual.
___________________________________________________
-Constant data may be created in extended memory
through the constructs xdata and xstring.
-Supports extended memory (xmem) allocation
through function Xalloc.
-Supports allocation of multiple stack sizes
through function Stack_Alloc.
-Sample program SEEPARAM.C added.
-RAM and flash BIOS files were merged.
-Serial open functions now automatically modify timer A1
and use timer A1 when the baudrate specified is low
enough to require a timer A1 modification.
-The two BIOS source files, JRABBIOS.C and JRAMBIOS.C
have been replaced by one file, RABBITBIOS.C
-PILOT.BPF was renamed to PILOT.BIN
-JRABBIOS.RTI was renamed to RABBIOS.RTI
-The cycle time total in the assembly window is
now updated continuously, not just when the mouse
button is released.
-sprintf, printf and several other functions were made
reentrant. The uC/OS-II documentation specifies which
library functions are not reentrant.
-A new macro CLOCK_DOUBLER in the BIOS was added. If this
macro is set to 1 (default) then clock speed is doubled
by the BIOS code if the crystal frequency is <= 12.9 MHz.
Bug Fixes
-Defect #17 fixed. Illegal use of type void is now
caught by the compiler.

from a function works now. Compiler now promotes character
math to integers to fix the bug and to more closely match
ISO/ANSI C.

effect immediately.
-Defect #36 fixed. Virtual watchdog timers can be allocated
and deallocated more than 10 times.
-Defect #37 fixed. Access to the first array element of
char pointer in an array of structures generates correct
code now.

pointer arithmetic corrected.
-Defect #44 fixed. Last line of library files was not compiled
if a newline was not present.
-Defect #46 fixed. Specifying string length with a variable
argument in printf, sprintf now works.
-Defect #47 fixed. Problem with incrementing/dereferencing
a pointer corrected.
-Defect #51 fixed. Xmem defect no longer crashes.
-Defect #52 fixed. Casting addresses of integers to integers
now longer causes incorrect dereference.
-Defect #54 fixed. Using a variable for the precision
specifier in sprintf, printf floating point output
now works.
-Defect #55 fixed. Returning a long value from a cofunction
to an auto variable was generating an internal error.
-Defect #56 workaround. A hardware bug that
affected external interrupts has been circumvented
via a new function, SetVectExtern2000(). Sample
program Samples\Intrupts\Int0demo.c has been modified
to reflect use the workaround. A new function
GetVectExtern2000() has been created also.
-Defect #57 fixed. DC now correctly dereferences and casts
pointers from unsigned longs to unsigned integers.
-Defect #61 fixed. For find, find/replace, disassemble at
address, and dump at address dialogs, current search
string is properly added to list of previous search strings.

prog_param structure and information window now correct.
-Defect #71 Fixed. Placed the inline function bit/BIT into
root memory.
-Defect #72 Fixed. Support is now given for serial baudrates
requested in serXopen(baudrate) for which a divisor greater
the maximum allowable 255 would be required, by prescaling
with Timer A1.

were not properly restoring the xpc.
-Defect #75 Fixed. periodic_init was not using the
GCSR shadow register. Now does.

*****************************************************************
VERSION 6.17
New Features
The processor instruction cycle times are now displayed in a
column to the right of each opcode in the Assembly window.
Selecting text in the Assembly window replaces the cycle time in
the lowest selected row with the total of the cycle times in the
selection when the left mouse button is released. On the next
mouse click, the original cycle time is restored. There are some
instructions whose time cycle times depend on whether a branch
is taken or the count stored in BC. These are not totaled and an
asterisk will appear next to the total time if they are
selected. Cycle times assume 0 wait states.
The online documentation can be accessed from a new Help Menu
command. The default URL can be changed in the Registry entry:
Software/ZWorld/DCW/Rabbit/6.17/Dynamic C Personality/DEFAULTURL
The Dump feature now has an option to dump the flash image to a
binary file.
______________________________________________________
- Floating point math including transcendental functions has been
speeded up considerably.
- The BIOS and programs are now compiled from file unless the
corresponding edit window is dirty.
