Announcing the development of LIBSTOCK - Your place for code
Re: Announcing the development of LIBSTOCK - Your place for
Thanks to Aleksander clearing my concern regarding the Libraries,
I have also responded to this here http://www.mikroe.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... 50#p162550

And as our contribution to Libstock in the promotional period, we will exclusively share some of the important new libraries there, such as the upcoming TCP/IP stack. Libstock is really going to be a great place for code!

All good news . Long awaited library forum, mE seeding Libstock with new libs - future looks bright indeed .Eventually, some libraries can be included in the compilers directly,
but maintaining them on Libstock will bring much frequent updates of the libraries,
and you won't have to wait for the new compiler releases to get some new functionality.
Re: Announcing the development of LIBSTOCK - Your place for
Hi everyone who participated the discussion in the last two days.
Dany, Janni, p.erasmus, stevenindon, luca crotti, we agreed to following changes:
1. We defined Libstock as a place for code, so we will also allow users to post projects, not only libraries.
2. We have changed the "Project" syntax in the main many into the "Code" syntax, to depict this decision
3. We have made it quite clear what the code is about. When you want to post the code, the first step will be to specify what the code is.
4. We have introduced icons for projects, libraries and Visual TFT/GLCD projects, so in "browse code" section each project will have this icon next to the title.
5. We have also introduced colors for each code type, so you can easily spot if the code is a library (light yellow), project (light gray) or visual tft/glcd project (light green)
6. We will introduce filters so you can display only one code type, if you like, which makes things convenient for users.
Any comments on this are welcome. We are listening.
Best regards,
Aleksandar

This looks very good and I must say if the community supports this Libstock we could have a very powerfull source of information and support to the users of the mE compilers ,

Love it!
So when can we start using it?

Re: Announcing the development of LIBSTOCK - Your place for
I may only repeat after Peter that this looks very good and certainly unambiguous .
I thought of 'other code' category, but I guess code snippets, that make a seed for a library rather than constitute one, may always be presented in form of a project.
So now we just wait and see - new ideas and observations will certainly come with practical use.

Re: Announcing the development of LIBSTOCK - Your place for
Hello,
I think this is a very good job, mE team.
I Will add a fifth step, in which user should describe the hardware used (tor example, custom hw Vs. ME board, or simply if project can be tried out without speciali component.
For example: if you share some tcp/IP stack, make explicit if it is for pic, for encxxx etc band id protocol is USB, spi, iic.
Otherwise user Will be forced TO put this information in the project title .
If the library is for a commercial hw, it is useful to say it in a dedicated place.
I have a project which uses a fat-sd board, so i should declare that:
- communication is serial
- use external module
- module is commercial (so NOT ME, NOT DIY)
- to use code example you need this hardware (i mean that to use sw as it is, enable pin is not in the library mcl file, so you have to leave it like that)
- sw used is xxxxx version yyy should be evident

Hello anikolic, and all other readers. The long awaited opening of Libstock is a very good news for all Mikroe users.
Can you tell me if FAT32 library is on Libstock and not part of the compiler, will it be open or close source ?anikolic wrote:The main reason for this is that with FAT32 placed on Libstock, rather than in compiler itself, we won't have to pursue 100% backward compatibility with existing FAT libraries at all costs.

Re: Announcing the development of LIBSTOCK - Your place for
In my understanding FAT32 will be part of Libstock which can be downloaded and be installed in the compiler so it is yes to both it will certainly be close source as mE still has the responibility for the Library to maintain and support it.luca crotti wrote:Can you tell me if FAT32 library is on Libstock and not part of the compiler, will it be open or close source ?
as Aleksandar said in this way when the Library is updated the user does not have to wait for a compiler release to get the new Library
as it is available on Libstock
Which I fine a smart idea !!

Re: Announcing the development of LIBSTOCK - Your place for
Thanks for your answer Peter.
Maybe my question was not well written, but it's only 1 question. I have understand all the advantages of placing it on Libstock. I just want to know if it will be open or close source. And without any lack of respect to you, I would like someone from Mikroe to answer. Thanks.

Just a little more patience. We estimate that it will be ready in two weeks, tops.CVMichael wrote:Love it!

This is all to be stored in the blog. After you upload files, you may explain everything about the code you placed on libstock. You can put images, videos, galleries, links, text, anything you consider important.luca crotti wrote:Hello,

We will share FAT32 in MikroElektronika Compiled Library form, and TCP/IP stack is probably going to be open-source.Toley wrote:Thanks for your answer Peter.

Anikolic,
Looks awesome! Now everything will be well devided between projects and libraries.
Mikroe, thanks for all the trouble to change in order to make this a great place for us to share. I can't wait for libstock to be ready and so excited to see how the library grows.
All who contributed with much thought and ofcourse with great work from mikroe.. Thank you so very much.
Awesome!
