Has anyone else noticed that Keil seem not to be supplying the source for FlashFS? It was in versions prior to version 4.20. Notice the new paragraph in the click-through license!
(Another thread comments also about USB source disappearing)
Time to use a different FlashFS, come to think of it, what is the need for RL-ARM license as the RTX source is included now in all MDK-ARM (ref: http://www.keil.com/arm/rl-arm/kernel.asp, bottom of page).

Phil,
I think it was established in the prior thread Tamir mentioned that the refund on the price for this significant reduction in package content is actually a highly generous price increase!
I was actually laughing as I wrote that - as it just seems so insane|
Basically it was expensive enough when we had the source, although as you say we did all believe we had the source to TCP stack when we first bought it a few years back, I wish I had realised back then how this would go and got out asap. I would never advise anyone to use RL-ARM middleware now.
Stuart,
I have removed MDK 4.20 last week shortly after installing it as it imposed too many structual changes to existing products, so I haven't noticed all the omissions - but do you mean that they actually removed the hardware drivers of USB (usb_hw.c etc.) ?
No I didn't mean they removed the drivers, I would really hope the drivers are still there but I haven't installed version 4.20 and I probably never will now.
However you could look at it this way what is stopping Keil removing the drivers? After all Keil doesn't seem to understand or even listen to their customers over requirements to access the source code. My trust in Keil has totally evaporated.
