McuOnEclipse Components: 03-Feb-2015 Release
It has been a while since the last version, but finally there is a new release available on SourceForge, with the following highlights:

Components Release
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!

- SD_Card component can use AsynchroSerial component for Kinetis
- 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…

Tutorial: IoT Datalogger with ESP8266 WiFi Module and FRDM-KL25Z
In my earlier post “Tutorial: Web Server with the ESP8266 WiFi Module” I used the ESP8266 WiFi module to run a local web server. This is a cool way to control devices inside my network. But to use that web page from the internet, I would need to open up my router which I don’t want to do for obvious reasons. Why not going the other way: host the web page in the internet, and have my board communicating with that internet page? This is exactly what this hype around IoT (Internet of Things) is all about :-).

Tutorial: Playing MP3 Files with VS1053B and FRDM Board
I want to make some noise with this post!!! This tutorial is about adding music and sound capabilities to the Freescale Freedom board, and to have a lot of fun with it :-). I need this ability for a larger project working on for a while. But I thought I share that sub-part how to play sound files. So with this tutorial I can turn my Freescale Freedom board into a music or sound player :-). And adding sounds is a cool way for any project, and as the music is stored on an SD card it fits easily hours of music or sounds.

McuOnEclipse Component Sources in Dedicated GitHub Repository
From time to time it is good to do some cleanup work: what has grown organically sometimes needs some cuts and moves. The same applies to the McuOnEclipse GitHub repository (https://github.com/ErichStyger/mcuoneclipse) which has grown to 522 MByte, 8364 files and 1444 folders. I already moved out the Processor Expert component releases (see “McuOnEclipse Releases on SourceForge“). Time to cleanup and move something else: the Processor Expert component sources.
