SDC Version 1.41 Release notes

Version 1.41 Enhancements

TinySDC

TinySDC was first mentioned in the previous release, and support for it has now been officially enabled. There are some changes to the licensing as part of this (in your favour!), which is what this release covers.

TinySDC is now a self-build device instead of it being a webstore only product. To this end, TinySDC can now be used with the free license, with a limited frame rate. This means with only a Raspberry Pi and a TinySDC screen you can test it on your bench. For a proper implementation you will still need an I/O hat and an SDC license, and typically a power module. See the Build Instructions for further details.

Like all other SDC instances, TinySDC can be used with a CANBus.

Support for ARMv6 (Pi Zero, ZeroW, and B)

Support for ARMv6 devices has been deprecated. The binary will continue to be included for Pi Zero, ZeroW, and B/B+ but it will not be tested against those devices.

As of SDC Version 1.41, the following devices are officially supported (these are all ARMv7 devices):

• Pi Zero2W
• Any Pi 3 model (A+, B, B+)

SDC Tools

The SDC tools release has not changed since the previous release, therefore you should use SDC Tools version 1.40 with SDC version 1.41.

Upgrading from 1.33 or 1.40

To perform an upgrade from 1.33 or 1.40 you can download the upgrade zip file, extract it to a temporary folder, and use the SDC Tools ‘Software Update’ feature.

SDC 1.41 has a minimum requirement of SDC Tools version 1.40 and thus an upgrade of the tools is mandatory when upgrading to SDC 1.40. If you are on an earlier version of SDC tools, then first use the tools to upgrade SDC, then upgrade the tools afterwards.
