The Real-Time OS HI7700/4
Revised to V.2.02 Release 00

We have revised the real-time OS HI7700/4 from V.2.01 Release 00 to V.2.02 Release 00. The HI7700/4 supports the SH-3-, SH3-DSP-, and SH4AL-DSP-cored MCUs, SuperH RISC engine family.

  1. Versions Concerned
    HI7700/4 V.2.01 Release 00


  2. Descriptions of Revision
    2.1   Functions Introduced and Improved
    (1)   In the variable-length memory-pool functions, time for Kernel to handle service calls has been reduced with the CFG_NEWMPL check box being checked in the configurator.
    (2)   When the configurator is invoked, the hcf file saved at the last time can be opened automatically.
    (3)   If the configurator automatically adjusts values of the following combo boxes, messages telling the adjustments are displayed:
    • CFG_TIMINTLVL
    • CFG_MAXVCTNO
    2.2   Problem Fixed
    The problem described below has been fixed. It had been encountered in the previous version V.2.01 Release 00.

    Problem:
    Unnecessary "extern" statements are created in files generated by the configurator. As a result, errors arise during compilation of any kernel_def.c or kernel_cfg.c files.

    Conditions:
    This problem occurs if the following conditions are all satisfied:
    (1)   The Allocated by Kernel radio button is selected in the Task creation, Fixed-size memory pool creation, or Variable-size memory pool creation dialog box of the configurator.
    (2)   Any address is typed in the Address edit box placed under the dialog box mentioned above.


    Note that this problem may also occur if generation of a fixed-length or variable-length memory pool is specified in an hcf file by the configurator of version 1.xx, and this hcf file is read by the configurator of version 2.01 or later.
