|
| 20.02.2021 | 1.5.1.7 | removed `err_o` signal from custom functions subsystem `CFS`; processor *SoC fast interrupt input* `soc_firq_i` reduced to 6 channels (was 8) - mapped to CPU's `FIRQ10` - `FIRQ_15`; added individual fast IRQs for `UART1` "RX complete" and "TX complete" conditions (-> FIRQ4 & FIRQ5); changed FIRQ channels of TWI/SPI/GPIO interrupts |
|
| 01.03.2021 | [**:rocket:1.5.2.0**](https://github.com/stnolting/neorv32/releases/tag/v1.5.2.0) | **New release** |
|
|
| 27.02.2021 | 1.5.1.11 | :bug: fixed several small bugs in *bitmanipulation extension* instruction decoding (not all `B` instructions triggered and *illegal instruction exception* when B-extension = disabled) |
|
|
| 25.02.2021 | 1.5.1.10 | :bug: fixed bugs in UART RTS/CTS hardware control flow - the new setup was verified on real hardware; added double-buffering to UART RX engine |
|
|
| 24.02.2021 | 1.5.1.9 | `mcounteren` CSR is hardwired to zero if user mode is not implemented (`CPU_EXTENSION_RISCV_U` = false); added `Zbs` (single-bit operations) sub-extension to bitmanipulation unit |
|
|
| 22.02.2021 | 1.5.1.8 | added programmable *RTS/CTS hardware flow control* to UARTs; new top signals: `uart0_rts_o`, `uart0_cts_i`, `uart1_rts_o`, `uart1_cts_i`; UART.TX engine will only start sending (if `CTS` flow control is activated) if `uart*_cts_i` is asserted (low-active); UART.RX engine signals (if `RTS` flow control is activated) via `uart*_rts_o` if it is ready to receive new data (low-active); added hw flow control parameter to uart setup functions `neorv32_uart*_setup()` |

|
| 18.02.2021 | 1.5.1.6 | added register buffer for enable signals to processor-internal clock generator; :bug: fixed bug in `sw/example/demo_twi` program: TWI clock speed messsage was wrong (factor 1/4 was missing) |

|
| 17.02.2021 | 1.5.1.5 | added a second independent UART: new UART is *secondary UART* `UART0`, the "old" UART is now the *primary UART* `UART0`; by default the **primary UART (UART0) is used for all user interface connection**; reworked *fast interrupt* `FIRQ` assignment/priority list - added UART1 RTX (receive *or* send done) fast interrupt; added hardware driver functions for new `UART1` - the "old" `neorv32_uart_*` function calls will map to the primary UART `UART0` for compatibility; renamed compiler flag to enable UART "simulation mode": `UART_SIM_MODE` -> `UART0_SIM_MODE` for primary UART, `UART1_SIM_MODE` for secondary UART (`UART_SIM_MODE` is still supported for compatibility and maps to `UART0_SIM_MODE`); added second simulation UART receiver for `UART1` to testbench; renamed UART simulation output files: `neorv32.testbench_uart.out` -> `neorv32.testbench_uart0.out` (testbench UART0 receiver), new: `neorv32.testbench_uart1.out` (testbench UART1 receiver), `neorv32.uart.sim_mode.text.out` and `neorv32.uart.sim_mode.data.out` -> `neorv32.uart0.sim_mode.text.out` and `neorv32.uart0.sim_mode.data.out` (for `UART0`), new `neorv32.uart1.sim_mode.text.out` and `neorv32.uart1.sim_mode.data.out` (for `UART1`) |

| 13.02.2021 | 1.5.1.4 | `HW_THREAD_ID` generic is now of type `natural`; `mret` instruction now requires an additional cycle to execute; logic optimization of CPU's control logic -> smaller hardware footprint and higher f_max; updated CPU synthesis results; removed top module's generic initialization using `(others => '0')` (targeting [issue #8](https://github.com/stnolting/neorv32/issues/8)) |

|
| 09.02.2021 | 1.5.1.3 | modified CPU architecture: now using a "pseudo" ALU co-processor to get the result of a CSR read operation into data path, removing one input from register file input mux -> shorter critical path |

|
| 08.02.2021 | 1.5.1.2 | added new peripheral/IO module: **Numerically-Controlled Oscillator `NCO`**: three independent channels, 20-bit phase accu, 20-bit tuning word, fixed 50% duty cycle mode or pulsed mode; added according HW drivers and example program |
