We are excited to announce the release of XTchain 3.0.2. While this update is relatively minor, it brings several
|
|
important improvements aimed at enhancing Windows compatibility and streamlining workflows across platforms.
|
|
|
|
## Integrated Mtools for FAT Images
|
|
XTchain 3.0.2 now comes with Mtools built-in. This integration allows developers to format disk or partition images with
|
|
the FAT filesystem and copy data to and from those images directly - no additional setup required.
|
|
|
|
## New diskimg Utility
|
|
Alongside Mtools, we have introduced our own diskimg application. This tool simplifies the creation of disk images,
|
|
particularly on Windows systems where native support can vary depending on configuration. By bundling these tools
|
|
directly into XTchain, we ensure that ExectOS builds can be created consistently across Linux and Windows environments.
|
|
|
|
## LLVM Updated to 21.1.2
|
|
This release also includes an update to LLVM 21.1.2, bringing the latest compiler improvements and fixes into XTchain.
|
|
|
|
## Important Note for ExectOS Developers
|
|
Version 3.0.2 is required to successfully build ExectOS. Older versions of the toolchain will not be able to generate
|
|
disk images, which will cause the diskimg target to fail.
