This release note covers the changes between v8.8r1 and v8.9r1 of the TASKING C166/ST10 Tool Chain.
With the installation on Windows a new version of DAS (v3.3.1) is installed.
The name tags for on-chip flash memories of XC2xxx and XE16xxx devices have been renamed. These names are used to specify the flash in the CrossView Pro target configuration files (.cfg). The new names to be used are:
When a configuration file is used with an old on-chip flash name, CrossView Pro will issue the message: XVW error - Incorrect flash initialization in configuration file
The list of open issues for v8.9r1 can be found on the internet.
When using the product without a valid license, the tools will run in trial mode. This means you can use the toolset 15 days with full functionality. When running in trial mode, each tool will report the number of days left. When using a license that does not cover the full toolset, the tools that are not covered by the license will run in trial mode.
When after installing the license file the tools that are covered by the license still report that they are running in trial mode, this means that there is a license error. If you want to force the termination of the trial mode to get the FLEXlm error message you can set the environment variable FORCE_NO_TRIAL to "yes".
All TASKING products include the industry standard FLEXlm license management software. In order to be able to run this toolset, you will need a license key, although you can use the full functionality during the 15 day trial period as described above. You can only obtain a license key if you have purchased this product.
To obtain a license key, you can start the License Administrator from the program group of your installed
TASKING toolset. In case you still need to install the toolset, you can start the License Administrator by
setting a check mark at the end of the setup/installation process. The wizard of the License Administrator
will guide you through the steps to obtain your license key.
Once you have received your license key from Altium, you can install it on your system by running the License
Administrator again. Alternatively you can simply save the license key as the file 'license.dat' in the
C:\FLEXLM folder on your PCs hard disk.
