Magic - 8.0.77 & 7.5.204

E-mail
Friday, 20 August 2010 20:33

Magic is  an  open source VLSI layout toolMagic is a venerable VLSI layout tool, written in the 1980's at Berkeley. New versions of Magic, stable and development, has been released. In this stable distribution (Magic version 7.5.204):

  • Removed the call to DBUpdateStamps() from inside DBScaleEverything(). This command recomputes bounding boxes and can end up modifying the cell plane from inside a search on the same cell plane, with predictably disasterous results.
Same change as made to version 8.0.77 (development version).

Velleman k8055 - Released a new version of k8055 software

E-mail
Wednesday, 18 August 2010 21:31

k8055 package is a "group of utilities" that provide control of up to four k8055 USB interface boards. It includes k8055d monitors up to four k8055 USB interface boards. It can be both - locally and remotely - controlled by its clients: k8055m and k8055s tools. k8055m is a program to either read/write from/to or observe the locally running k8055d via Shared Memory. The values of the inputs and outputs (IOs) selected for reading or observing are issued in a respectively customized result string. If the observe option is supplied, k8055m vanishes into background to execute a specific command, to which the result string will be passed, everytime when the values of the IOs, selected for observing, have changed. Otherwise the result string will be outputed to console and k8055m exits. k8055s is a program to either read/write from/to or observe the remotely running k8055d via Sockets. A new version of k8055 software has been released. In this new version:

  • Fixed possible zero process id assignment of observing k8055m;
  • Fixed overflow by killing clients when illegal zero process id is present;
  • Added timeout option for k8055s since also connect() is now non-blocking;
  • Added possibility to not start socket server by setting service to none;
  • Fixed too long client reconnection delay to 5 seconds;
  • Fixed exit values to positive ones;
  • Added retry option for daemon specifying cycles which have to be looped.
Complete list of change on the file ChangeLog in the archive.

Tuesday, 17 August 2010 20:02

SDCC is an open source retargetable (it can be retargeted for other microprocessors; e.g. support for Microchip PIC and Atmel AVR is under development), optimizing ANSI-C compiler. The current version targets the Intel 8051, Zilog Z80, Dallas 80C390, Motorola HC08 and Microchip PIC MCUs. The package also contains a linker, assembler, simulator and debugger. A new version/revision of SDCC has been officially released. In this version/revision:

  • Fixed incomplete types (src/pic16/glue.c);
  • Fixed bug in optimization (src/mcs51/gen.c);
  • Renamed asxxsrc/asdbg.cfrom asxxsrc/asnoice.c: use dbuf to dynamically allocate debug symbol;
  • Changed NCPS to PATH_MAX: ...a quick & dirty fix for asld;
  • Added testDummy() function.

GTKWave  a  digital  waveform  viewer  useful  for  examining  the  output  of  various  digital  simulators and  an  analysis  tool  used  to  perform  debugging on  Verilog  or  VHDL  simulation  modelsGTKWave is a fully featured GTK+ based wave viewer for Unix and GNU/Linux which reads LXT, LXT2, VZT, and GHW files as well as standard Verilog VCD/EVCD files and allows their viewing. The new release fixes some problems/bugs and adds new functions, i.e.;

  • Fix for 0 millisecond Tcl timer causing 100% CPU usage;
  • Added gtkwavetcl_setvar() for starting to build a framework to support Tcl variable change callbacks. This can be used to closely monitor how a user manipulates the gtkwave GUI;
  • Added various tcl functions.

k8061 package is an "group of utilities" that provide control of up to eight k8061 USB interface boards. It includes k8061d monitors up to eight k8061 USB interface boards. It can be both - locally and remotely - controlled by its clients: k8061m and k8061s tools. k8061m is a program to either read/write from/to or observe the locally running k8061d via Shared Memory. The values of the inputs and outputs (IOs) selected for reading or observing are issued in a respectively customized result string. If the observe option is supplied, k8061m vanishes into background to execute a specific command, to which the result string will be passed, everytime when the values of the IOs, selected for observing, have changed. Otherwise the result string will be outputed to console and k8061m exits. k8061s is a program to either read/write from/to or observe the remotely running k8061d via Sockets. A new version of k8061 software has been released. In this new version:

  • Fixed possible zero process id assignment of observing k8061m;
  • Added platform independent network byte order serialization for k8061s;
  • Added automatic installation of k8061 user with its group and a udev rule;
  • Fixed missing connection status check of devices when connected;
  • Fixed too small variable type of analogue tresholds;
  • Fixed wrong PWM assignment;
  • Fixed hang-up or crash when reading version from unpowered device.
