mikroPascal for dsPIC30/33 and PIC24 version 6.0.0 has been released.

This is a major release. The accent in this version is put on mikroICD support. Now, this great feature is avalilable on dsPIC and PIC24.

Other details:

Code: Select all

v.6.0.0.0 (2007-08-09)
----------------------
- mikroICD support added:
  All PIC24FJ, PIC24HJ, dsPIC33FJ, dsPIC30F family MCUs, except
    dsPIC30F1010, dsPIC30F2020, dsPIC30F2022, dsPIC30F2023.
- New type introduced: DWORD (32-bit unsigned)
- Improved software simulator
- Revised and improved MMC and Compact Flash libraries.
  Added FAT16 formating routine. Added support for partitioned MMC/CF cards.
  Revised SPI module switching mechanism.
  We strongly advise consulting mikroPascal help file for implemented changes
  (expecially for MMC/CF_Fat_Assign and MMC/Cf_Create_Swap_File routines).
- Added library support for dsPIC30F1010 and dsPIC30F202x ADC module.
- Added library support for PIC24 and dsPIC33 Enhanced CAN module.
- Improved Sound, Keypad, T6963C, RS485, Soft_Spi, Soft_I2c, Soft_Uart,
  GLCD and UART (implemented user selectable high/low speed calculations) libraries.
  Consult help file for implemented changes.    
- SpiX and UartX libraries integrated with Spi and Uart libraries, respectively.
  Consult help file for implemented changes.
- All reported and newly discovered bugs fixed including:
    PS/2 library (Extended Keys issue)
    Advanced SPI Ethernet IP address setting issue
    RAM miscalculation issue
    Code generator problems related to byte operations
    PWRSAV hex generation problem
    Bugs in StrToWord and StrToInt
- Reduced usage of RW pin in all LCD libraries. Consult help file for possibilities
  of this pin re-usage in user code.
- Filter Designer Tool reported bugs fixed.
- Searching regular expressions fixed
- New programmers with mikroICD support included in the release.
- Fully revised and reorganized help file. Detailed explanation of library prototypes
  and examples of their usage. MikroICD section added. Revised schematics.
  Updated language reference and mikroPascal specifics. An effort was made to make help more
  readable, user friendly and less confusing.
- Revised already existing examples (additional DSP, advanced spi ethernet and timer1 interrupt examples included)
- Added examples for dsPICPRO3 and EasydsPIC4 boards.
- New tool: LCD Custom Character
- Minor IDE enhancements and fixes

After few days start feeling slightly ashame nobody says 'thank you' for this new release. The mikroICD is very usefull, now start missing it already on older boards. With the predefined flags for family's and processors it is getting easyer to write good library's that can be used equally for PIC and dsPIC and which can deal with device-dependant differences.
With respect to bugs , we will have to find some new ones , most of the old seems gone. Thenks to all developpers!

I updated my mikroPascal v5 to v8.
I feel It is very excellent.

But now I am little bit confusing. that are ...
when I click menu item [help]-[about], dialog box says "ver 6.0.0.0".
when I click menu item [help]-[Check for Update], your web site says "ver 5.0.0.1".

Is there remain some old dlls and I should better to re-install it? or simply your web site is not ready for ver.6?

Hi,

current version is mikroPascal for dsPIC30/33 and PIC24 6.0.0.0

Just uninstall v5 and install v6 (backup your old project folders somewhere)
WebSite is not updated, we apologize.

Thank you milan.
