There is no special option in Kinetis Design Studio ‘New Project Wizard’ (NPW) to create a library (or archive). But it is really easy to create a library project.

Updated Percepio Tracealyzer and Trace Library to Version V2.7.0
Percepio has recently released the v2.7 version of Tracealyzer. This is a major upgrade from the v2.6 version which I have used so far: time to upgrade my Trace component for FreeRTOS to the latest and greatest v2.7!

Snow Plowing (Darth Vader) Sumo Bot
Finally, winter with lots of snow arrived in Switzerland. Getting up at 5am this morning to free up my front yard from the 25 cm snow which came down overnight, so I can drive my wife to work. She does not like driving in snow conditions, but it is fun for me :-). But lots of snow, I thought I could use a little helper bot:

- FatFS has added v0.10c patches
- FSL_USB_Stack: Host support for Kinetis K20D72 and support for FRDM-K22F (K22FN512)
- FreeRTOS has added Timer API support

USB with the Freescale FRDM-K22F Board
The FRDM-K22F is one of the latest members of the Freedom board families: 512 KByte Flash, 128 KB RAM and the usual Freedom board components on it. Unfortunately, Freescale decided not to populate the micro-SD card connector on the board, so from this perspective the FRDM-K64F is more value for the money. But the board has USB, so this makes it still interesting. And this is what this post is about: Adding USB to the FRDM-K22F board in a few minutes…

Code Coverage for Embedded Target with Eclipse, gcc and gcov
The great thing with open source tools like Eclipse and GNU (gcc, gdb) is that there is a wealth of excellent tools: one thing I had in mind to explore for a while is how to generate code coverage of my embedded application. Yes, GNU and Eclipse comes with code profiling and code coverage tools, all for free! The only downside seems to be that these tools seems to be rarely used for embedded targets. Maybe that knowledge is not widely available? So here is my attempt to change this :-).
Or: How cool is it to see in Eclipse how many times a line in my sources has been executed?

And best of all, it does not stop here….
