Release Notes for STM32F4xx HAL Drivers

Copyright 2014 STMicroelectronics

Update History

V1.1.0 / 19-June-2014

Main Changes

• Add support of STM32F411xE devices

• HAL generic update
• Enhance HAL delay and time base implementation
  
• Systick timer is used by default as source of time base, but user can eventually implement his proper time base source (a general purpose timer for example or other time source)
• Functions affecting time base configurations are declared as __Weak to make override possible in case of other implementations in user file, for more details please refer to HAL_TimeBase example
• Fix flag clear procedure: use atomic write operation "=" instead of ready-modify-write operation "|=" or "&="
• Fix on Timeout management, Timeout value set to 0 passed to API automatically exits the function after checking the flag without any wait
• Common update for the following communication peripherals: SPI, UART, USART and IRDA
• Add DMA circular mode support
• Remove lock from recursive process
• Add new macro __HAL_RESET_HANDLE_STATE to reset a given handle state
• Add a new attribute for functions executed from internal SRAM and depending from Compiler implementation
• When USE_RTOS == 1 (in stm32l0xx_hal_conf.h), the __HAL_LOCK() is not defined instead of being defined empty
• Miscellaneous comments and formatting update
  
• stm32f4xx_hal_conf_template.h
• Add a new define for LSI default value LSI_VALUE
• Add a new define for LSE default value LSE_VALUE
• Add a new define for Tick interrupt priority TICK_INT_PRIORITY (needed for the enhanced time base implementation)
• Important Note: aliases has been added for any API naming change, to keep compatibility with previous version
• HAL GPIO update
• Add a new macro __HAL_GPIO_EXTI_GENERATE_SWIT() to manage the generation of software interrupt on selected EXTI line
• HAL_GPIO_Init(): use temporary variable when modifying the registers, to avoid unexpected transition in the GPIO pin configuration
  
• Remove IS_GET_GPIO_PIN macro
• Add a new function HAL_GPIO_LockPin()
• Private Macro __HAL_GET_GPIO_SOURCE renamed into GET_GPIO_SOURCE
• Add the support of STM32F411xx devices : add the new Alternate functions values related to new remap added for SPI, USART, I2C
  
• Update the following HAL GPIO macros description: rename EXTI_Linex by GPIO_PIN_x
• __HAL_GPIO_EXTI_CLEAR_IT()
• __HAL_GPIO_EXTI_GET_IT()
• __HAL_GPIO_EXTI_CLEAR_FLAG()
• __HAL_GPIO_EXTI_GET_FLAG()

• HAL DMA update

• Fix in HAL_DMA_PollForTransfer() to:

• set HAL Unlock before DMA state update

• HAL DMA2D update

• Add configuration of source address in case of A8 or A4 M2M_PFC DMA2D mode
• HAL FLASH update

• Functions reorganization update, depending on the features supported by each STM32F4 device
• Add new driver (stm32f4xx_hal_flash_ramfunc.h/.c) to manage function executed from RAM, these functions are available only for STM32F411xx Devices
• FLASH_StopFlashInterfaceClk()  : Stop the flash interface while System Run
• FLASH_StartFlashInterfaceClk() : Stop the flash interface while System Run
• FLASH_EnableFlashSleepMode() : Enable the flash sleep while System Run
• FLASH_DisableFlashSleepMode() :  Disable the flash sleep while System Run

• HAL PWR update

• HAL_PWR_PVDConfig(): add clear of the EXTI trigger before new configuration
  
• Fix in HAL_PWR_EnterSTANDBYMode() to not clear Wakeup flag (WUF), which need to be cleared at application level before to call this function
• HAL_PWR_EnterSLEEPMode()
• Remove disable and enable of SysTick Timer
• Update usage of __WFE() in low power entry function: if there is a pending event, calling __WFE() will not enter the CortexM4 core to sleep mode. The solution is to made the call below; the first __WFE() is always ignored and clears the event if one was already pending, the second is always applied
  

• Add new macro for software event generation __HAL_PVD_EXTI_GENERATE_SWIT()
• Remove the following defines form Generic driver and add them under extension driver because they are only used within extension functions.
