We are currently at the beta testing stage of certifying the IAR PIC18 C compiler (v2.10A) for use with Salvo on PIC18 PICmicro(R) MCUs.

Pumpkin is now an official Microchip Third-Party Partner. The Salvo RTOS runs on every PICmicro(R) MCU available, with support for three (soon four) C compilers.

We've updated App Note AN-15 with a new Troubleshooting section.

This addition (which is applicable to all IAR compilers) illustrates how to solve the problem of linking to a library that was created using a different version of the IAR compiler than the one you're using.

We've got a new App Note AN-16 that explains how to use message pointers with Keil's Cx51 compiler.

The Salvo for 8051 family distribution has been updated to v3.0.4 -- this version corrects problems some users were having when using Keil's Lx51 linker.

We've updated the Salvo for PICmicro® MCUs release to be compatible with HI-TECH's PICC v8.00PL2 compiler.

We've also updated the Salvo libraries for Microchip's MPLAB-C18 compiler to be processor-independent.

We've added a new family to Salvo's growing list of supported targets -- TI's MSP430 Ultra-Low Power Microcontroller.

This new release works with IAR's MSP430 C Compiler, and is the first Salvo distribution to integrate Salvo source code into the standard Salvo libraries. Now you can step through Salvo source code in C-SPY with library builds. Check it out!

This new release of Salvo for 8051 family adds support for Keil's Lx51 linker, corrects some minor issues in the tu1-tu6 tutorial projects for microVision2, and adds the missing standard libraries to Salvo LE and Pro for 8051 family distributions.

We'll be at the Embedded Systems Conference 2002 in San Francisco. Since our last ESC, we've added Salvo support for several compilers and targets — as well as a hardware product — to our lineup.

Come by booths 2331 (HI-TECH Software) and 3107&3113 (Keil Software) to see how Salvo can simplify your embedded designs.

Salvo v3.0 is now available in Salvo Lite, LE and Pro versions.

Existing Salvo Pro for PICmicro® MCUs users who are eligible to upgrade should contact us to obtain acess to the v3.0 download area.

Salvo is now available for HI-TECH's V8C compiler and the VAutomation V8-µRISC.

Salvo is now available for Keil's C51 compiler and targets in the 8051 family. You can read about it here or at Keil's web site.

The first release of Salvo for the 8051 is now available in the form of Salvo Lite for 8051 Family.

We received so many queries about Assembly Guide AG-5 "Assembling the SSDL/SCU PIC17 Protoboard" that we went ahead and created an updated, more versatile version for our customers. You can find more info on our new PIC17C75X Protoboard here.

Introductory pricing for a complete, tested unit is $349 (or just $249 when you purchase Salvo Pro at the same time).

Also, App Note AN-6 "Multitasking PIC12C509A-based Remote Fan Controller" finally has a good picture of this remarkably small Salvo application.

We've added a new App Note AN-12 "Building a Salvo Application with Microchip's MPLAB-C18 C Compiler and MPLAB IDE" to help first-time Salvo users with MPLAB-C18.

The Salvo Lite for PICmicro v3.0.beta3 distribution is the first Salvo distribution to support the Microchip MPLAB-C18 compiler, and is just one of several additional compilers we are currently certifying for use with Salvo.

We now have Salvo applications running in-house using MPLAB-C18 v1.10. As soon as we figure out which library lineup best suits this compiler, it will become part of the upcoming v3.0 release.

Salvo v2.2.1 is a maintenance release and replaces v2.2.0.

Existing users who are using Microchip MPLAB 5.40 or later, or HI-TECH PICC-18 v8.11pl1, should upgrade.
