Notices

  • embARC OSP no longer includes separate release packages including IDE projects. Users wanting to use a given project in the IDE may refer to Create a New Application in embARC OSP article.

Known Issues

  • openthread stack is out of date and relevant examples are not working in this release. This will be fixed in the next release.
  • Make version >=4.0 is not supported. Please use make version 3.81 or 3.82
  • For Wifi applications, the Digilent pmod Wifi with Microchip part MRF24WG0MA should be used. Pmods built with MRF24WB0MA have been shown to experience problems and are NOT supported.
  • In order to avoid windows limitations with long path names, it is recommended that users don't put the embARC sources too deep in your directory, otherwise some examples may fail to compiled due to command line being too long to be supported in Windows.
  • Please use the recommended tool versions for MetaWare and ARC GNU.
