TMS570LC4357: What are the known issues with HALCoGen v04.07.01?

Hello,

"HALCoGen Release Note.pdf" can be found under HALCoGen install folder ( default is: c:\ti\Hercules\HALCoGen\v04.07.01\Docs\ )

Best regards,
Miro

Hello Miro,

Thanks for following up!  That document only describes issues that were known as of the time that v04.07.01 was released; I am looking for current information.

Hello Miro or others,

Can you please give us updated information about the current known issues for HALCoGen?

Hello,

There is no newer version of this file.

Bets regards,

Hello Miro,

I need up-to-date information about known issues with HALCoGen.  This is a crucial part of due diligence for our functional safety development process.

Jiri Janacek described this kind of need quite well back in 2015, so I'll refer you to Jiri's explanation (note that I am not affiliated with Jiri):

https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/hercules/f/312/p/442440/1633204#1633204

Back at that time, Prathap agreed to maintain an up-to-date table of known HALCoGen issues in your wiki:

https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/hercules/f/312/p/442440/1647524#1647524

This is the same wiki page that is referred to in the release notes for v04.07.01:

Current details of the Device wise Software Maturity Level and the Bug list can be found in the HALCoGen WIKI Page http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/HALCoGen

I appreciate that TI is phasing out the wiki, and I imagine that updating it is inconvenient.  For our needs, it is immaterial whether the information is provided on the wiki or via some other means.  Providing read-only access to your tracking database would be an effective way to do this.

Regardless of whatever your long term solution for maintaining HALCoGen is, however, I have an immediate need today to perform an analysis of the 3rd party components included in our safety-related firmware.

Can you please give us up-to-date information about the current known issues for HALCoGen?

There is a patch update for HALCoGen planned near the end of July 2019, with an updated list of "known issues" with the current release. No actual changes are planned with respect to code changes.

Regards, Sunil

This HALCoGen update is not yet out, correct?  What is the anticipated timing of the release?

Note that while we will certainly appreciate having a temporarily-up-to-date list of the current known issues, this will not address our safety process's need on an ongoing basis for tracking the known information about 3rd-party code we're incorporating into our safety-related firmware.

How will we be able to track this information in the future?

--thx

What is the status of this release?

Hello,

We are now working on an updated "release notes" document that includes a detailed description of all known issues with the version 4.07.01 of HALCoGen. This document is currently under review internally and is planned to be available online by the 20th of September.

Regards,

Sunil

We are actively in the process now of releasing firmware which includes HALCoGen-generated code.  Can we please have access to an interim-WIP copy of the known issues list?
