Known limitations & bugs

Generic

• Needs an external Java environment previously installed (JAVA 1.6) when using the installer. Once installed, M2M Studio is standalone

Build system / Open AT Projects management

• Linker settings are corrupted when importing a project created with M2M Studio 1.0.0
• Workspace paths with space characters are not supported
• No synchronization check between the Open AT Firmware version used in a project, and the one running on the connected Wireless CPU

Target management

• M2M Studio sometimes crash suddenly on operations related to Target management (connect, baudrate autodetection, download)
  Seems to be related to USB-Serial converter usage
• Backtraces decoding is not supported
• Heap memory status does not contain links to source code
• Trace logging is disabled as soon as the target resets
• Baudrate autodetection is not configurable
• Target info view is not automatically refreshed

Run & Debug

• JTAG Debug relies on third-party non-integrated software (Open OCD)
• JTAG Debug works only is the download step is skipped in the Run configuration
• No check if the connected Wireless CPU is "JTAG-able"
• Breakpoints cannot be added during a debug session while the program is running (they have to be added when the execution has stopped on another breakpoint)

Bugs fixed

1.1.1

Install / General

• Issues fixed regarding install/uninstall of some packages

Build system / Open AT Projects management

• Popup error messages when project package dependencies are missing have been replaced by error markers in the Problems view
• When changing a project's dependency on an SDK profile, all packages dependencies are modified (including plug-ins)
• ATI9 info was not always updated when modifying project dependencies
• Sometimes, "An internal error occurred during: "C/C++ Indexer" message war appearing at project creation/import.
• Library projects dependencies are now managed automatically
• It is now possible to import a project created under a Windows M2M Studio into a Linux M2M Studio

Run & Debug

• Trace and shell views were closed when launching a new Run/Debug session

1.1.0

Install / General

• Uninstall of packages was refused if used by at least one project.
• Help > Software Update menu was not enabled on 1.0.2
• Fix display/indexing issues on Traditional Chinese OS and others

Build system / Open AT Projects management

• M2M Studio created project was unable to build after import if it had dependencies on other workspace projects
• ARM ELF GCC / MinGW build was failing if path to SPM Registry is too long (>~100 characters, ie. workspace path >~50 characters with default settings)
  Now embedded compilers are managed in M2M Studio install location, and a warning is displayed in M2M Studio preferences if the install path is too long.
• Cleaning of unnecessary files on project import from IDE V1/creation from a sample

Target management

• Debug traces logging to file feature was not usable ("cyclic buffer" behavior, beginning of the file was lost after some time)
• Confirmation messages removed on connection/download success

• Some plug-ins samples (e.g. from C-GPS plug-in) dependencies to other plug-ins not correctly managed
• It was not possible to change the current OS version in a library project
• Bad symbol name generation for C-GPS plug-in (makes the build fail with ARM compilers)

• Added by default the -fno-profile option on ARM ELF GCC compiler command line
• IDE V1 project import was not working when source paths out of the project directory were referenced
