Improvements

  • QTouch Configurator Sub-tabs for Pins and Parameters tabs.
  • Sync parameter values in the channel with enable and disable option.
  • Sensor creation count status message.
  • Notifications for SamL1x GCC support, L11 Trust Zone and AKS setting.
  • Timeout issue fix for table tooltips in parameters tab.
  • Tooltips for slider/wheel configuration table.
  • Scroller parameters table field type change, sensor resolution and sensor deadband to enums.
  • Surface utility and DV direct download links.

Bug Fixes

  • Ensured frequencies are recalculated when changing clock options

Know issues

  • Pre-configured clock system support does not work for SAME5x, D51 family touch projects
  • IAR compiler for SAM L10 and SAM L11 family is not supported

UI Changes

  • If an RTOS version of a driver is selected, a button to access more information is added. From this, RTOS can be added to the project.
