Labrosse 3) By calling Micrium: (954) 217-2036 (954) 217-2037, FAX Make sure that the problem you are reporting is in uC/OS-II and not your application. If you in fact discover a bug in uC/OS-II, check the uC/OS-II web site for a list of known bugs and their fixes: www.Micrium.com If you are using an older version, you should first get the lastest version. /*$PAGE*/ ****************************************************************************** ****************************** SOFTWARE UPGRADES ***************************** ****************************************************************************** As you can see, I have been trying to support uC/OS (i.e. V1.xx) and now, uC/OS-II. When bugs are found, I do my best to promptly correct them. It is virtually impossible to notify everybody that purchased the code (i.e. the diskette) to tell them that a new version is available. You should occasionally check the uC/OS-II WEB site (www.ucos-ii.com) or the Micrium web site (www.Micrium.com) to see what version is currently shipping. I will not be upgrading the publisher everytime I add new features to uC/OS-II. I would highly suggest that you resist changing the STYLE of the code unless you don't mind spending many hours doing so everytime you upgrade. /*$PAGE*/ ****************************************************************************** ******************************** RELEASE NOTES ***************************** ****************************************************************************** 1) RELEASE NOTES: ---------------- The release notes are now provided in PDF format in the file: \Micrium\Software\uCOS-II\Doc\ReleaseNotes.PDF 2) FEATURES SINCE V2.00: ----------------------- All the features added since V2.00 are described in the PDF file: \Micrium\Software\uCOS-II\Doc\WhatsNewSince-V200.PDF 3) QUICK REFERENCE CHART: ------------------------ A Quick Reference Chart for all the functions in V2.7x is provided in the following .PDF files: \Micrium\Software\uCOS-II\Doc\QuickRefChart-Color.PDF If you have a LAMINATION machine, you can protect the chart by laminating it. 4) REFERENCE AND CONFIGURATION MANUALS: -------------------------------------- A number of services and configuration constants have been added to V2.81 and a new Reference and Configuration Manual (Chapter 16 and 17 in the MicroC/OS-II 2nd Edition book) have been updated and included in .PDF format on this distribution.
