[MDK-ARM Core Installer]
- Reminder: The MDK default installation folder has changed from 'C:\Keil_v5\' to '%LOCALAPPDATA%\Keil_v5\' starting with MDK 5.40. This destination typically provides sufficiently restrictive file permissions that protect against the security vulnerability CVE-2022-43701. It is the user's responsibility to ensure the correct access rights of the installation folder.
[µVision updated to V5.41.0.0]
- Fixed: project files from Generator gpdsc file are not included in project and the build of the project fails.
- Arm UBL license manager tools (armlm) updated to version 1.3.1.
- When creating a "New Project" the default project target is named "Target_1" (no space). Note: When using STM32CubeMX project targets must not contain spaces.
- Updated: uv2csolution converter has been updated to version 1.5.0. This version aligns with CMSIS solution project features from CMSIS-Toolbox >= 2.5.0 and fixes duplicated files in projects using STM32CubeMX as generator.

TheKeil products from ARMinclude C/C++ compilers, debuggers, integrated development and simulation environments, RTOS and middleware libraries, and evaluation boards for ARM, Cortex-M, Cortex-R4, 8051, C166, and 251 processor families. Since the acquisition, ARM has continued the development and support of Keil products for existing 8051, 251, and C166 markets.
Keil MDK - Getting started. Tutorial
You will learn how easy it is to get started with MDK Version 5 to efficiently develop embedded applications for microcontrollers based on ARM Cortex-M processors series.
Keilwas founded in 1985 to market add-on products for the development tools provided by many of the silicon vendors. It soon became evident that there was a void in the marketplace that must be filled by quality software development tools. It was then that Keil implemented the first C compiler designed from the ground-up specifically for the 8051 microcontroller.In October 2005, Keil (Keil Elektronik GmbH in Munich, Germany, and Keil Software, Inc. in Richardson, Texas) was acquired by ARM.
