RT-Thread Studio IDE V1.1.4 is Released!
OpenSource RT-Thread IoTOS team released a free-to-use RT-Thread Studio IDE in late 2019, we are continually developing and adding new features for RT-Thread Studio, taking it to a more powerful and convenient tool.
RT-Thread studio is a one-stop development tool, it has an easy-to-use graphical configuration system and a wealth of software packages and components resources. RT-Thread Studio has the features of project creation and management, code editing, SDK management, RT-Thread configuration, build configuration, debugging configuration, program download, and debug. Also, it combined the graphical configuration system with packages and component resources, reducing the duplication of work, and improving the development efficiency.
Today, RT-Thread Studio IDE V1.1.4 is Released! Let’s see what’s NEW.
New Project Creation Wizard
New wizard to create projects. The type of new projects could be based on either the template projects or example projects and users are able to view the board information during creation.
An Open SDK Platform
The SDK Manager allows users to create their own BSP and upload it in PR. Once the PR gets approved, it will be available and accessible to all RT-Thread Studio users via the SDK Manager. Meanwhile, you could also help to improve other BSP or add new templates and example projects in PRs.
Perfect QEMU Emulator
Users are able to download the program and run it on the QEMU emulator by one click. New hardware supports are added:
- The development board GD32VF103-NUCLEI-RVSTAR based on RISC-V
- The chip VEXPRESS-A9 based on ARMv7-A
- The SDIO interface implemented on STM32
The emulators currently supported by STM32:
- MPU, Floating-Point Hardware
- UART1
- FLASH
- Touch
- SRAM
- CCMSRAM
- FMC
- RGB565
- RGB888
- SDIO
The emulation function is currently available by selecting QEMU by creating a project based on the following board:
- STM32F407-ATK-EXPLORER
- STM32F429-ATK-APOLLO
- STM32F429-FIRE-CHALLENGER
- STM32F429-ST-DISCO
- QEMU-VEXPRESS-A9
- GD32VF103-NUCLEI-RVSTAR
The features of QEMU will be enhanced further, like adding the support for network and GUI, .etc. What’s more, we’re considering letting QEMU interact with hardware directly, such as controlling esp8266/RW007 or other cellular network chips, or even communicating with the real development board via hardware interfaces of PC. In this way, we could develop programs for the embedded system in a pure software environment.
New features are supported for debuggers:
ST-LINK
- Users could reset the chip or view the peripheral registers, and access the external FLASH via debug interfaces.
DAP-LINK
- New download algorithms are added. New configuration options are provided to accelerate the download speed.
