+Release Information
+=================== 
+
+This is Release 2.7.6 of the FT9xx Toolchain for Windows, comprising the command-line tools (GCC, GNU Binutils, GDB), the Eclipse IDE and the hardware library needed to start development. 
+
+A set of examples are included to demonstrate how to use the hardware library. 
+
+Projects can be created with the Bridgetek Eclipse plugin or may be compiled using a Makefile. Therefore, the latest version of some necessary GnuWin32 utilities (make and coreutils) are also included.
+
+The cross-compiler toolchain contains support for the FT9xx series of Microcontrollers.

+- The latest versions of FT9xx hardware peripheral libraries are available on GitHub https://github.com/Bridgetek/ft90x-sdk/ Issues may also be raised here.
+- Example projects for the FT9xx are available on GitHub https://github.com/Bridgetek/ft90x-sdk-examples/

+
+Toolchain Readme
+----------------
+Version: 2.7.6
+
+Restrictions:
+- Note that from v2.2.1 onwards, the Application Binary Interface (ABI) has changed compared to v2.1.0. So any libraries compiled with toolchain v2.1.0 or below versions must be recompiled/rebuilt to be used in projects compiled for v2.2.1 or later.
+- The RTCs in FT90x Rev B and FT90x Rev C are different. So the software that was written for FT90x Rev B cannot run on FT90x Rev C. i.e. it is not forward compatible. However, from toolchain v2.5.0 onwards, the RTC API for FT90x Rev C is made backward compatible to RTC of FT90x Rev B, i.e. all three modules (MM900EVxA, MM900EVxB, & MM930EVxA) can be supported. 
+
+Known issues:
+- The Eclipse IDE distributed with the installer is the 64-bit (x64) version. The Bridgetek plugins are run with a 64-bit version of Eclipse. 
+- On Windows the cross-compiler tools are 32-bit executables. There are no issues running 32-bit tools from the 64-bit Eclipse application. Utilities included such as FT9xxProg and FT9xxProgGUI are 64-bit tools.
+- TheFT9xxProg utility may trigger virus scanners since it can be connected to through a network port. If this happens then instruct the virus scanner or firewall to open port 3333 for access by the affected applications.
+
+Fixed issues:
+- A faster versions of the FT9xxProg utility is included in this release. The Windows version FT9xxProgGUI has been updated with new logos and icons.
+
+Feature requests:
+- N/A

+
+Hadrware Library and Examples Readme
+------------------------------------
+Version: 2.7.6
+
+Latest version of source code can be obtained from GitHub: https://github.com/Bridgetek/ft9xx-sdk/
+
+Restrictions:
+- From v2.5.0 onwards, the USBD (USB device) ABI has changed to promote asynchronous operation. 
+  This provides many advantages for speed and responsiveness when programming a USB device application. 
+  Projects will be backward compatible.
+
+Known issues:
+- The ADC rail-rail reference is disabled by default, as a result:
+	o Voltages between 0 - 350mV are all read from ADC as zero.
+	o Voltages between 3 - 3.3V are all read from ADC as max value (1023). 
+- The interrupt library does not work properly when the interrupt priority is changed. 
+
+Fixed issues:
+- Issue with USB host transfers recovering from a timeout has been corrected.
+- Issue with USB host resetting USB 1.1 full-speed hubs fixed.
+
+Feature requests:  
+- N/A
