SDK v 4.3, S110 v 5.2 and a totally new gcc toolchain.

[cocoa]

Hi all, the release note of SDK 4.3.0 reports that it was tested and verified using BLE S110 version 5.2

When it will be available (version 5.2) ? Actually we can download only version 5.1

The same note reports a switching from gcc CodeSourcery to gcc-arm-embedded (launchpad).

Why such a sudden change? What are the benefits ?

Thanks.

I'm not at work now, so I can't check it in detail, but I actually think that this could be just a typo, as the S110 version 5.2 is not quite finished yet as far as I know. Anyway, the only change from 5.1 to 5.2 will be support for a new chip revision, which is about to be rolled out, so since none of you have this (yet), there isn't anything fun in the new S110 release.

The change of toolchain was as far as I've understood it mostly done for availability reasons. The Lite version of the CodeSourcery toolchain seemed to become constantly harder to find an actual download link for, while the gcc-arm-embedded toolchain puts download links (for all platforms) up front. If you've started using CodeSourcery, you will most likely be fine continuing to do so, but our builds are no longer being tested with this.

I agree with you about the download link.

Hello Ole, the browser doesn't show the button accepted. Only edit, delete or mark unresolved. But on the initial question it shows a green label. So, for me is accepted.

Ok, this is most likely since the question already has been marked as resolved, but without an accepted answer. If you remove the resolved part, you should be able to accept an answer, but for convenience I've just fixed it. If you disagree, feel free to unaccept and accept another one. Still learning the system ourselves. :)
