ChipworkX just got even better! Mass storage and enhanced RLP

The latest release of ChipworkX adds mass storage device support. When you plug in the USB cable from ChipworkX, Windows will now see a mass storage device (internal 256MB flash) and will also see the debug interface.

Not only that, GHI have also added new "extensions" to RLP allowing user to use some predefined code like set/clear pins and malloc/free memory. New RLP also supports installing interrupt handlers. Your NETMF project can now handle interrupts in real time.

The SDK also includes examples on how to use "make" to create RLP files very esily using free GCC compilers.

I had stopped progressing my tutorial on Video playback using RLP because I learned about all teh cool things being added to it but now with new SDK, I will go back and revisit the video playback using the new RLP support.

This ChipworkX firmware is still in beta but it is very close from what the RTM will look like.
