Version 6.4.0 is a new minor release; it fixes several bugs and adds several enhancements.

Binary files »

Compatibility

Special precautions were taken to preserve compatibility with projects created by pre-6.x plug-ins, such that user projects will continue to be accepted directly for Import, without modifications.

However, due to the way Eclipse manages perspectives and views, by caching some IDs, workspaces created with pre-6.x plug-ins may exhibit several problems when used directly.

To avoid such situations, it is recommended to create a new workspace with the new release and import the projects there.

Install

Eclipse Marketplace

The recommended way to update to the latest plug-ins is via the Eclipse Marketplace; search for Embedded CDT.

Eclipse Update Sites

For those who prefer to install manually, the latest version is available via Install New Software from:

• https://download.eclipse.org/embed-cdt/updates/v6/

To get exactly this version, Install New Software from:

• https://download.eclipse.org/embed-cdt/releases/6.4.0/p2/

Important: Due to the major internal changes occurred in v6.0.0, users of pre-v6 plug-ins do not automatically receive updates, and are advised to install a new full Eclipse and create a new workspace.

Local install

For manual installs, the plug-ins are also available as regular archives, that can be downloaded locally and installed.

Changes

Bug fixes:

• #580: for projects located outside the workspace folder, the xpacks/.bin path was not set correctly; fixed
• #551: existing projects using old toolchain id showed errors after upgrade; fixed
• #555: for some devices, the STM32F7 template did not generate the mem.ld file; fixed
• #565: in the CMSIS Packs perspective, after a read error, the Abort button has the same effect as Ignore; fixed

Enhancements

• #572: the GnuMcuPropertyTester was located in org.eclipse.embedcdt.managedbuild.cross.core which was not a dependency of the debug plug-ins. A new class was added as org.eclipse.embedcdt.core.EmbeddedCdtPropertyTester and the old one was deprecated.
• #574: the content of the MCU toolchain paths preferences was reorganised to make the content easier to understand
• #569: in the OpenOCD plug-in, the configuration allowed only server port; for multi-core devices there are multiple ports, and GDB should be able to connect to any one; fixed
• #567: support enhanced GNU Tool Factory capabilities introduced in CDT 11.2.0

Project template changes:

• none

Developer changes:

• none

More details are available at GitHub milestone v6.4.0.

Known problems

• #533: the QEMU GDB server delay is not yet implemented
• #530: the SVD write-only registers in peripheral register view are not processed as write-only
