QP 4.1.03 Release

This QP 4.1.03 release is concerned with the ARM Cortex ports and examples. Specifically, this release contains the following improvements:

  1. Unified source code for ARM Cortex-M3 and the new ARM Cortex-M0 cores, including the common code for the preemptive QK kernel.

  2. Compliance with the Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS) in all ARM Cortex examples.

  3. Backward-compatible support for the new LM3S811 EVAL Rev C board with different OLED display than previous revisions. (NOTE: The OSRAM 96x16x1 OLED used in REV A-B boards has been replaced RITEK 96x16x1 OLED used in Rev C.)

In the process of making the examples CMSIS-compliant, the dependency on the Luminary Micro driver library (driverlib.a) has been completely removed.

Additionally, the screen saver of the "Fly 'n' Shoot" game has been improved to periodically switch off the power of the OLED display, which better protects the display from burn-in.

Finally, this release introduces the QP_VERSION macro, which identifies the QP version. Otherwise, this maintenance release does not change the QP API in any way, so the release has NO IMPACT on the QP applications except for the ARM Cortex ports and applications.
