The new year 2024 is coming, so time to close the current year with a new release: Iām pleased to announce a new release of the Processor Expert components, available on SourceForge and GitHub.

š” Not using Processor Expert? No worries, I have you covered. The source code of many components are hosted on GitHub:
https://github.com/ErichStyger/McuOnEclipseLibrary
From the release notes (see GitHub for all the changes):
- FreeRTOS v11.0.0 with SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processing)
- Added support for Linux: many components no can be used in a Linux gcc environment
- Extended support for ESP32: more components support the Espressif system
- Extended support for Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040
- Extended SEGGER SystemView to support Heap tracking with FreeRTOS, updated to v3.42
- Many smaller bug fixes and improvements
While the Processor Expert components itself are considered legacy, they have a new life in McuLib project on GitHub. Many components are used to generate static code, and the McuLib is used in many of our projects. The library with a set of middle-ware on GitHub covers STM32, NXP i.MX/Kinetis/LPC/HC08/S32K, Raspberry Pi, Nordic, ESP32 and RISC-V micro controllers. As a cross-platform library, different IDE’s as Eclipse (MCUXpresso, KDS, CodeWarrior), Visual Studio Code and bare make and cmake environments are supported.
Happy Experting š
