Beta 0.0 - 20.09.2010
=====================

The original Beta version for the STM32F107 Connectivity line. This contained only GCC and Rowley Crossworks targets as well as the simulator but has a useful list of features as shown in the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Rbz1SOoJVI 


Beta 0.1 - 09.11.2011
=====================

After a long period of limited interest in the project the new STM32F4xx Cortex M4 parts with FPU have sporned a great increase in interest in Cortex M4 generally. This Beta now includes support for STM32F1xx/STM32F2xx and STM32F4xx devices, VisualStudio 6.0 and VisualStudio 2010 simulation projects, as well as GCC, Rowley Crossworks, ATOLLIC TrueStudio, IAR and Keil uVision cross-compiler projects. A developer's guide can be found at http://www.utasker.com/docs/STM32/uTaskerV1.4_STM32_Developers_Document.pdf.

The project is a forerunner to a release version to compliment the Kinetis Cortex M4 project which is also in the pre-release stadium. Missing are mainly tests of advanced peripherals and present absence of boot loader projects.

Beta 0.2 - 14.11.2011
=====================

- UART/USART support extended to up to 6 interfaces
- port clearmacro corrected for F2/F4 devices
- Rowley Crossworks configuration improvements

Beta 0.3 - 18.11.2011
=====================
- STM32F4xx Ethernet, EXTI and Flash driver added
- SPI Flash support added
- STM3240G/STM3241G operational
- Revised storage media management integrated as detailed in http://www.utasker.com/forum/index.php?topic=1687.0
- Counter of number of times the start web side has been served added to the demonstration
- Display connection IPv4 address on start page of web server
- Last reset cause added to administration web page
- Web pages and documents with descriptions for STM32F1xx and STM32F4xx (note that F4 Flash is different to the F1 Flash and the internal uFileSystem uses sub-file configuration due to large granularity)

Note that the STM32F2/4 devices should use linker scripts that position the application code to start at 0xc000 offset (afetr reset vector at 0) so that two boot blocks in flash are reserved for use by the uParameterSystem. The STM32F1 uses the standard linker script since it has small granularity flash and doesn't require this special measure.

The project is set up for the STM3240G EVAL board - configure to suit your board if necessary.

When debugging with the STM3240G  it is nevessary to disable the watchdog. This can be done by holding the KEY button pressed when the board is started.

Beta 0.4 - 03.01.2012
=====================
- FTP client according to the FTP client user's guide: http://www.utasker.com/docs/uTasker/uTaskerFTP_client.pdf (see video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZOCFLDfGTk&feature=youtu.be )

- Magic Ethernet frame reception support added
"The define _MAGIC_RESET_FRAME enables magic frame checking support.
Initially no checking is done until it is enabled by calling fnEnableMagicFrames(1).
It can later be disabled if require by calling fnEnableMagicFrames(0).
When active, each received Ethernet frame is checked directly in the receive interrupt routine for Ethernet payloads of 93 bytes in length.
The definition of _MAGIC_RESET_FRAME determines the magic frame pattern that is expected (repeated 16 bit value) - for example
#define _MAGIC_RESET_FRAME        0x1234
A magic frame must then contain this value repeated 24 times in the first 60 bytes of the payload (following the two Ethernet II MAC addresses) in order to be recognised.
The 61st byte in the frame can then be used as code to trigger an action. The value 0x01 causes the board to reset and place a code in the boot loader mail box so that the boot loader can recognise that the board was reset via use of a magic frame. The boot loader will normally remain in the boot loader mode (possibly for a limited period of time) to allow software updates to be accepted.
The final 32 bytes of the frame are undefined and can have any pattern. The user can use these as optional information bytes if required (for example, there is adequate space to pass 2 IPv6 addresses for special configuration purposes, etc.)
The handling interface has to be supplied by the user (eg. in application.c) as follows:
extern void fnMagicFrame(unsigned char ucType, unsigned char usOptionalDate[32]) {}"
