  • The not longer supported abin2uf2 and abin2uf22 are archived.

Config Files

  • This includes using forward slashes / for the library search path for macOS compatibility.

Command Line Tools (Professional Edition)

  • The command line tools of Astrobe for Cortex-M0 v10.0 are tested to work on macOS.
  • OberonDev runs on macOS as well, if only for the sole v10.0 product available today, ie. Astrobe for Cortex-M0, which can generate code for the RP2040 as well as for the RP2350.
  • That is, software development using Oberon and Astrobe for Cortex-M0 on macOS is now supported with an end-to-end toolchain, including binary conversion to .uf2 and upload, via makeuf2. The Astrobe tools for the other MCUs will be added upon v10.0 availability.
