What’s New in 3.20.0x
- Added support for the drivers and examples working without an RTOS. A ‘NoRTOS’ version of the driver porting layer (DPL) was added.
- NVS API has been updated and finalized. The earlier version of NVS was tagged as “preliminary”. The API has been modified and this tag has been removed.
- Added support for MSP432P4111.

This release breaks compatibility with previous releases of the Core SDK in the following ways:
- GCC compiler update. This release depends on the gcc-arm-none-eabi-6-2017-q1-update tools. These tools are shipped with CCS 7.2 but also available on the Linaro site. Wiki link describing steps to migrate existing Cortex-M GCC projects to SYS/BIOS v6.51
- IAR tools update. This release depends on the IAR 8.11 Arm tools. The default size for wchar_t size changed. All files need to be recompiled with the 8.11 compiler.
- New DeviceFamily_ preprocessor constant. A new constant has been added to the projects to select a given device family. This constant is used within drivers to select the correct driverlib include files and in #ifdef blocks to manage device-specific code. Build options for existing projects that reference the driverlib header files may need to be updated to include -DDeviceFamily_XYZ on the command line. Currently supported options are:
- DeviceFamily_MSP432P401x
- DeviceFamily_MSP432P4x1
- NVS API change. The non-volatile storage (NVS) API has been formally reviewed and updated. Code that was using the “preliminary” NVS API will have to be updated to use the official API.
- DPL API change. The device porting layer (DPL) is used internally by the device drivers. Some of the DPL APIs were updated as part of the NoRTOS feature addition. Since this is an internal API, user code should not be affected.
