This - change will (eventually) support multiple heaps and heap allocators. - (2013-03-08). - * mm/ and include/nuttx/mm.h: Implement support for multiple heaps. - (2013-03-08). - * arch/*/src: xyz_addregion() needs to call kmm_addregion, not mm_addregion. - (2013-03-08). - * sched/kmm*.c: Move this garbage kmm*.c file to mm/. until I decide what - to do with them (which is probably to just delete them). (2013-03-08). - * mm/mm_test.c and Makefile.test: Deleted the memory test. This was - a good test and helped me a lot when I wrote the memory manager, but - now it is in the way and paralyzing other efforts. So the memory unit - test was deleted. (2013-03-08) - * sched/sched_free.c: Rename sched_free() to sched_ufree(); Add - sched_kfree() to handler deferred kernel heap allocations. (2013-03-10) - * arch/: User user-accessible heap to allocate all stacks. (2013-03-10) - * arch/arm/src/sam3u: The AT91SAM3U will now support a kernel heap if - so configured. (2013-03-10) - * configs/sam3u-ek/knsh: This configuration was converted to use the - kconfigs-frontends build tool. (2013-03-10) - * configs/*/include/user_map.h and include/nuttx/userspace.h: Remove - the very kludgy user_map.h file and replace it with a header that - is expected at the beginning of the user-space blob. (2013-03-10) - * configs/sam3u-ek/kernel/up_userspace.c: This is the header for - the SAM3U-EK's user space. (2013-03-10) - * sched/os_bringup.c: In the kernel build, os_bringup() now uses the - user-space header to automatically start the user-space work queue, - if so configured. (2013-03-10) - * arch/arm/src/lpc17xx/lpc17_mpuinit.c and lpc17_userpace.c: Add - support for the MPU and kernel build for the LPC17xx family. - (2013-03-11) - * configs/open1788/kernel and knsh: Add kernel build support and - a kernel NSH configuration for the WaveShare Open1788 board. - (2013-03-11) - * configs/sam3u_ek/kernel, knsh, and scripts: Move some files around - for better supportability. (2013-03-11) - * configs/open1788/kernel, knsh, and scripts: Add a kernel mode build - configuration for the WaveShare Open1788 board. (2013-03-11) - * arch/arm/src/armv7-m/up_mpu.c: Several fixes to MPU logic. - (2013-03-12). - * arch/arm, configs/sam3u-ek, configs/open1788: Fix memory map for - kernel mode build; Some regions were overlapping. (2013-03-13). - * arch/: Rename g_heapbase to g_idle_topstack. This is the same value - however: The top of the IDLE stack is the same as the base of the - heap in the flat build. But not in the kernel build: The base of - the heap is elsewhere so the naming was wrong. (2013-03-13). - * libc/stdlib/lib_itoa.c: Implementation of itoa() contributed by - Ryan Sundberg. (2013-03-14). + * arch/arm/src/armv7-m/up_mpu.c: Correct MPU sub-region settings for + unaligned regions (2013-03-15). + * arch/arm/src/armv6-m/up_svcall.c: Bring up to equivalent to the + ARMv7-M version (2013-03-15). + * configs/lm4f120-launchpad/tools: Add scripts and instructions to + simplify use of OpenOCD with ICDI (from JP Carballo, 2013-03-15). + * tools/mkconfig.c: Logic that attempts to suppress buffered I/O + within the kernel is wrong. sizeof(struct file_struct) must be + the same in both kernel- and user-spaces (2013-03-16). + * arch/arm/src/common/up_pthread_start.c, libc/pthread/pthread_startup.c, + and related files: Implement switch to user-space and user-space + pthread start-up function (2013-03-16). + * arch/arm/src/common/up_signal_handler.c, libc/pthread/pthread_startup.c, + and related files: Implement switch to user-space and user-space + pthread start-up function (2013-03-16). + * arch/arm/src/common/up_signal_handler.c, libc/signal/signal_handler.c, + arch/arm/src/armv[6|7]-m/up_svcall.c, arch/arm/include/armv[6|7]-m/svcall.h, + include/nuttx/userspace.h, and sched/sig_deliver.c: Implement switch + to user-space from kernel signal delivery trampoline before calling user- + space signal handler. Return from user-space signal handler using a + system call (2013-03-16). + * arch/arm/src/armv[6|7]-m/up_schedulesigaction.c: Need make sure we are + in kernel mode before switching to kernel-mode signal handler + trampoline (2013-03-16). + * arch/arm/include/armv[6|7]-m/irq.h, and arch/arm/src/armv[6|7]-m/up_svcall.c: + Add support for nested system calls. In the current design, this can + happen only under one condition: When the kernel system call logic calls + back into user space in order to allocate user space memory. So it is + expected that the maximum nesting level will be only 2 (2013-03-17). + * libc/stdio/lib_sccanf.c: Correct an error in sscanf. If %n occurs in + the format statement after the input data stream has been fully + parsed, the %n format specifier will not be handled. Reported by + Lorenz Meier (and also earlier by Kate) (2013-03-17). + * drivers/serial/serial.c: Support for O_NONBLOCK was not supported + in the "upper half" serial driver. This is normally not an issue + because UART TX is almost always available, but it does become an + if the UART uses hardware flow control or if the a "lower half" is + something like the USB CDC/ACM driver that may need to block for + significant amounts of time (2013-03-18). + * arch/arm/src/armv7-h/ram_vectors.h, up_ramvec_*.c, arch/arm/src/*/*_irq.c, + and Make.defs: Add support for modifiable interrupt vectors in RAM + (2013-03-18). + * arch/arm/src/armv7-m/up_exception.S, sam3u/sam3u_vectors.S, and + lpc17xx/lpc17_vectors.S: In exception handling with CONFIG_NUTTX_KERNEL, + need to explicitly set and clear the privilege bit in the CONTROL + register on return. I assumed this would be handled automatically + by the EXC_RETURN. Silly me (2013-03-18). + * arch/arm/src/lpc17_adc.c: Add a work-around for an ADC errata. From + Chris Taglia (2013-3-19). + * arch/arm/src/armv7-m/up_hardfault.c: If the PRIMASK is used to disable + interrupts, then additional logic is required in the hard fault handler + (2013-3-19). + * libc/ and mm/: Directories where the same sources files are used to + build different objects in the first and second pass kernel builds need + to keep those objects in separate directories so that they are not + constantly rebuilt (2013-3-19). + * fs/fat: Create an error in FAT file creation. The FAT logic was + not making a distinction between directory non-existence and file + non-existence so when it you try to create a file in a non-existent + directory, it would create a file with the name of the missing + directory. Reported by Andrew Tridgell (2013-03-30). + * Numerous files: Changed the protoypes of up_create_stack() and + up_release_stack() so that is includes a task type. Normally you + can get this type from the TCB parameter, but there are certain + conditions when the task type is not valid in the TCB when these + functions are called. Only the prototypes were changed on this + big, initial checkin. The next step will be to add logic to + allocate stacks for kernel threads from protected kernel memory + and all other task types from unprotected user memory (2013-03-20). + * arch/*/src/common/up_createstack.c, up_use_stack.c, and + up_release_stack.c: If creating or releasing the stack for a kernel + thread, use the kernel allocator so that the kernel thread stacks + are protected from user application meddling (2013-03-20). + * arch/arm/src/armv[6|7]-m/up_scall.c: Fix parameter passing for + all system call inline functions with > 3 parameters (2013-03-20) + * arch/*/src/common/up_stackframe.c and include/nuttx/arch.h: Add + and new interface to set aside memory on the stack. This will be + used at least in the kernel build to hold task arguments (2013-03-21). + * sched/sig_deliver.c: When dispatching signals to user threads, + copy the siginfo_t from the sigq to the stack. The signal queue + is allocated from kernel memory; however, the current stack is + the user's stack and the user code will be able to access the + signinfo_t data from the stack copy (2013-03-21). + * arch/arm/src/stm32: Added support for the kernel mode build + (cloned from the lpc17xx). (2013-03-21). + * configs/stme32f4discovery/kernel and scripts: Add support for + the kernel mode build on the STM32F4Discovery (2013-03-21). + * drivers/st7567.c/h and include/nuttx/lcd/st7567.h: Driver for + the ST7567 LCD Display Module from Univision Technology Inc. + contributed by Manikandan.S (2013-03-22). + * configs/zkit-arm-1769: Now supports the ST7567 LCD display + module. Added an nxhello configuration for testing (Manikandan.S, + 2013-03-22). + * configs/stm32f4discovery/kostest: Add a kernel mode version + of the OS test for the STM32F4Discovery board (2013-03-22). + * nuttx/include/nuttx, nuttx/configs/sam3u-ek, nuttx/configs/open1788, + nuttx/configs/stm32f4discovery, and nuttx/arch/arm: Complete + re-archtecting of how signals are dispatched to user-space code + in the kernel build. The original implementation was C-based + and simpler. However, the C code intermixed with SVC calls was + not properly preserving registers. The more complex, assembly + language version does not suffer from these issues. I believe + the the kernel build can now be called "feature complete" + (2013-03-23). + * binfmt/binfmt_execmodule.c: Here is a place where I forget + to update the call to sched_releasetcb() to pass the thread + type as the second parameter (2013-03-23). + * arch/arm/src/lm, kinetis, lpc32, and nuc1xx: Add kernel build + support to all ARMv7-M and ARMv6-M chips. There are no + configurations in place to to verify these additions! + (2013-03-24). + * arch/arm/src/lm/lm_gpio.h: Correct typos in alternate function + definitions (2013-03-24). + * arch/arm/src/lm/lm_lowputc.c and lm_serial.c: Add support for + the 7 UARTs on the LM4F120 (2013-03-24). + * configs/lm4f120-launchpad/ostest/defconfig: Fix the configured + RAM size. This appears to be the last show-stopper bug: The + LaunchPad now runs NuttX! (2013-03-24). + * configs/lm4f120-launchpad/nsh: Add an NSH configuration for the + LaunchPad (2013-03-24). + * configs/kwikstik-k40: Converted configurations to use the + konfig-frontends tool (2013-03-25). + * configs/twr-k60n512: Converted configurations to use the + konfig-frontends tool (2013-03-25). + * arch/arm/src/lpc17xx/lpc17_lcd.c: Add an LCD framebuffer driver + for the LPC177x/8x family (2103-3-26). + * arch/arm/src/lpc17xx/lpc17_emc.c and + configs/open1788/src/lpc17_sdraminitialize.c: Began testing the + Open1788 SDRAM. The SDRAM is basically functional, but there are + failures with the SDRAM is stressed by the memory test at + apps/example/ramtest (SDRAM support and the RAM test can be configured + into the base configs/open1788/nsh configuration as described in + configs/open1788/READMT.txt (2103-3-27). + * configs/open1788/nxlines: Add a configuration to test both the + Open1788 LCD and SDRAM which is used as a framebuffer (2013-3-27). + * arch/arm/src/lpc17xx/lpc17_gdma.c and lpc17_sdcard.c: Began + implementation of the LPC17 DMA and integration into the SDCARD + driver (2013-3-29). + * arch/arm/src/lpc17xx/lpc17_gdma.c: LPC17 DMA is code complete and + under test. Does not yet work (2013-3-30). + * fs/fat/fs_fat32dirent.c and fs_fat32util.c: Several fixes to the + FAT file system from Ronen Vainish. These fixes mostly involve the + logic to extend directory clusters for the case of long file names + but also include a few important general fixes (such as for storing + 32 bit FAT values) (2013-03-31). + * arch/arm/src/lpc17xx/lpc17_gdma.c and lpc17_sdcard.c: SD card DMA + is now functional. Thre may be some issues with DMA from CPU SRAM + which is apparently disabled in sleep mode; up_idle() always enters + sleep mode (2013-03-31). + * arch/arm/src/stm32: Add architecure support for the STM32 F427/F437 + chips. Contributed by Mike Smith (2013-4-01). + * configs/zkit-arm-1769/src/up_can.c: Add support for both CAN1 + and CAN2.

But this raises a problem when the + MCU has multiple blocks for differ SPI implementations as does the + LPC17xx (and also as does other architectures like STM32 that have + USARTs that can serve as SPI interfaces as well). These were renamed + to lpc17_spiinitialize() and lpc17_sspinitialize() in this case. + Problem reported by M. Kannan (2013-4-01). + * arch/arm/src/lpc17xx/lpc17_gpdma.c and lpc17_idle.c: In sleep mode, + DMA can only be performed from peripheral SRAM. CPU SRAM is shutdown + in sleep mode. In order to simplify DMA memory allocation, the LPC17xx + IDLE will now hold off going to sleep mode if there is a DMA in progress + (2013-4-01). + * configs/open1788/src/lpc17_autoleds.c: Reversed sense of the IDLE LCD. + It is now off when the LPC17 is sleeping and on when awake. That is + much more useful because it provides a good visual indication of the + dynamic CPU load (2013-4-01). + * configs/open1788/src/lpc17_touchscreen.c and lpc17_ssp.c: Add + support for the touschscreen on the WaveShare LCD (2013-4-01). + * configs/several: There were already some functions called + lpc17_sspinitialize(). So they had to be renamed (2013-4-01). + * arch/arm/src/lpc17xx/lpc17_ssp.c: Adapted to work the the LPC178x + family (2013-4-01). + * arch/arm/src/lpc17xx/lpc17_gpio.c/.h: Separate LPC176x and LPC178x + logic into separate files. The logic is diverging to much to + try to retain common code (2013-4-03). + * net/net_clone.c: Fix compilation error when socket options are + are disabled. Reported by Daniel O'Connor (2013-4-05). + * configs/zkit-arm-1769/src/up_leds.c: Fix a typo introduced into + the button interrupt logic (2013-4-05). + * arch/arm/src/lpc17xx/lpc178x_gpio.c: Re-design of the GPIO + logic for the LPC178x family by Rommel Marcelo (2013-4-05). + * arch/arm/src/lpc17_gpiodbg.c: Updated so that it correctly + reports LPC177x/8x GPIO registers when GPIO debug is enabled + (2013-4-05). + * arch/arm/src/Makefile: The variable NUTTX already includes + the extension $(EXEEXT). So remove the second extension + $(NUTTX)$(EXEEXT) in two places (2013-4-7). + * arch/arm/src/lpc17xx/lpc17_gpioint.c: Disable interrrupts in + lpc17_setintedge(). This logic must be atomic because it can be + re-entered before it completes enabled interrupts, sometimes + leaving the interrupts in a strange state (2013-4-7). + * arch/arm/src/lpc17_lcd.c: Rommel Marcelo got the LPC1788 + framebuffer-based LCD working. Very nice! (2013-4-08). + * arch/arm/src/lm/lm_clockconfig.c and configs/lm4f120-launchpad: + Fix handling of the RCC SYSDIV2 field whent the PLL output is + 400MHz.

This means that hardfaults will (again) + occur when SVC instructions are executed (2013-4-16). + * configs/stm3240g-eval/ostest: Converted to use the kconfig-frontends + tools (2013-4-17). + * sched/task_exithook.c: Don't flush the streams until the + final thread of the group exits. Flushing may cause the + thread to get suspended at a bad time and other threads in the + group may run while the exiting thread is in an unhealthy state. + This can cause crashes under certain circumstance. This is a + critical bugfix (2013-4-18). + * drivers/mtd/ramtron.c: Extended to support the FM25V01 device. + Contributed by Lorenz Meier (2013-4-18). + * sched/task_deletecurrent.c and task_exit.c, arch/*/up_exit.c: + Renamed task_deletecurrent() and task_exit() since it really + handles the architecture independent part of _exit(). _exit() + is used internally, but if it is called from the user, it should + unregister any atexit() or on_exit() functions (2013-4-18). + * tools/kconfig2html.c: This is the beginning of a tool to + replace the hand-generated documentation of the NuttX configruation + variables with auto-generated documentation.

Consequently, if the action event handler tried - to stop the timer, the request would be ignored. Changes the order - so that the timer is re-enabled before the callback.

From Petteri - Aimonen. - * NxWidgets::CWidgetControl: Added another semaphore, boundssem, which - is set as soon as the screen bounds are known. This corrects two - problems: - 1) Due to the way nxgl_rectsize computes the size, it will never - be 0,0 like CWidgetControl expects. Therefore the size is considered - valid even though it has not been set yet. - 2) After the check is fixed to test for > 1, NxWM window creation will - hang. This is due to the fact that it uses the screen bounds for - determining window size. This was being blocked on geosem, which - is only posted after the size has been set. - From Petteri Aimonen. - * NxWidgets::CImage: Two enhancements: - 1) Allow changing the bitmap even after the control has been created. - 2) Allow giving 'null' to have the control draw no image at all. - From Petteri Aimonen. - * NxWM::CTaskBar: Allow windows with null icon.

Instead, handle all events through the USRWORK work queue. - For me, this was necessary because I would open some files in button - handlers and close them in NxTimer handlers. If these belonged to - different tasks, the close operation would fail. Further benefits: - + Gets rid of one task and message queue. - + Reduces the amount of code required - + Decouples CStartWindow from everything else - now it is just a window - with application icons, not an integral part of the event logic. - + All events come from the same thread, which reduces the possibility of - multithreading errors in user code. - + The user code can also send events to USRWORK, so that everything gets - serialized nicely without having to use so many mutexes. - Drawbacks: - - Currently the work state structure is malloc()ed, causing one allocation - and free per each input event. Could add a memory pool for these later, but - the speed difference doesn't seem noticeable. - - The work queue will add ~50 ms latency to input events. This is however - configurable, and the delay is anyway short enough that it is unnoticeable. - From Petteri Aimonen. + * NxWidgets bitmap_converter.py: Fix bug when image width > 255.

Note +that release consists of two tarballs: nuttx-6.27.tar.gz and +apps-6.27.tar.gz. Both may be needed (see the top-level nuttx/README.txt +file for build information). + +Additional new features and extended functionality: + + * OS Initialization: + + - Add missing registration of /dev/zero. Registration of /dev/null + should depend upon conditional compilation. From Ken Pettit. + + * Tasking: + + - Added a new interface to set aside memory on the task's stack. This + is used (at least in the kernel build) to hold task arguments. + - Remove up_assert_code(). One assertion routine is enough. + + * Kernel Build: + + - Extensive changes were made to support the kernel build mode. In + this mode, NuttX is built as a monolithic kernel. NuttX is built + as a separate kernel mode "blob" and the applications are built + as a separate user mode "blob". The kernel runs in kernel mode and + the applications run in user mode (with the MPU restricting user + mode accesses). Access to the kernel from the user blob is only + via system calls (SVCalls). + - Kernel build configurations for the Open1788 board and for the + STM32F4Discovery now execute correctly. + - Changes were made to task and thread start-up routines, signal + handling, data structures, ARMv7-M SVCalls, stack management + interfaces, + + * Drivers: + + - Driver for the ST7567 LCD Display Module from Univision Technology + Inc. Contributed by Manikandan.S + - SPI initialize functions renamed so that multiple SPI blocks can + be initialized. + - Extended to support the RAMTRON FM25V01 device. Contributed by + Lorenz Meier + - Serial drivers: TIOCSERGSTRUCT ioctls now conditioned on + CONFIG_SERIAL_TIOCSERGSTRUCT + + * ARMv7-M (Cortex-M3/4): + + - Added support for modifiable interrupt vectors in RAM + + * nuvoTon NUC1xx: + + - Added kernel build support + + * Freescale Kinetis: + + - Add kernel build support + - Add support for the Kinetis L family of Cortex-M0+ MCUs.

Added + an nxhello configuration for testing (Manikandan.S). + - ZKIT-ARM-1769: Add support for both CAN1 and CAN2. Contributed by + M.Kannan + + - Open1788: Basic support for the WaveShare Open1788 board is complete + with working OS test, NSH, and graphics configurations. + - Open1788: Integrated the LPC178x LCD driver with the WaveShare display. + Touchscreen support is included, howerver, there appears to be an + issue with the Open1788 touchscreen interrupt signal. + - Open1788: Now supports SDRAM (used to provide the LCD framebuffer). + - Open 1788: Reversed sense of the IDLE LCD. It is now off when the + LPC17 is sleeping and on when awake. That is much a better visual + indication of the dynamic CPU load + + * LPC17xx Drivers: + + - Added an LCD framebuffer driver for the LPC177x/8x family. + - Implemented LPC17xx GPDMA support. + - Integrated the LPC17xx GPDMA support into the SD card driver. + - SSP driver adapted to work with the LPC178x family. + - Separate LPC176x and LPC178x GPIO logic; this logic is too different + to maintain in one file with conditional compilation. + - Re-design of the GPIO logic for the LPC178x family by Rommel Marcelo. + + * LPC43xx: + + - Added kernel build support + + * STM32 + + - Added support for kernel mode build. + - Added architecure support for the STM32 F427/F437 chips.

This + includes support for OS test and NSH configurations. Additional + driver development is needed. + + * Build System: + + - Directories where the same sources files are used to build different + objects in the first and second pass kernel builds need to keep those + objects in separate directories so that they are not constantly + rebuilt. + + * Applications: + + - apps/system/ramtest: Add a simple memory test that can be built + as an NSH command. + + * Tools: + + - kconfig2html is a new tool which will replace the hand-generated + documentation of the NuttX configruation variables with auto- + generated documentation. + +Efforts In Progress. The following are features that are partially +implemented but present in this release. Most are expected to be fully +available in NuttX 6.28. + + * A port to the Freescale Freedom KL25Z is complete but not yet stable + enough. The KL25Z is a low-cost Cortex-M0+ part with 128KB of FLASH + and 16KB of SRAM. This is is the effort of Alan Carvalho de Assis. + + * Conversion of old configurations to use the kconfig-frontends + tool is an ongoing effort that will continue for some time. + At this time, only 32% of the configurations have been converted + to use the kconfig-frontends tools. + +Bugfixes (see the ChangeLog for details). Some of these are very important: + + * Tasking: + + - Fixed a critical bug: When there is pending C buffered output + and the system is very busy, the a pthread may be blocked at + a critical point when trying to exit. Blocking at this critical + point would cause crashes. All entire task/thread exit logic + paths were reviewed and failsafe mechanisms were put in place + to assure that exitting tasks never block after task teardown + has been started. + + * ARMv6-M: + + - Fixed parameter passing for all system call inline functions with > 3 + parameters + - Fixed a major problem: The Cortex-M0 has no BASEPRI register but the + logic of NuttX-6.26 was using it to manage interrupts. Switch to + using the PRIMASK instead. This means that hardfaults will (again) + occur when SVC instructions are executed + + * ARMv7-M: + + - Corrected Correct MPU sub-region settings for unaligned regions. + - In exception handling with CONFIG_NUTTX_KERNEL, need to explicitly + set and clear the privilege bit in the CONTROL + - Fixed parameter passing for all system call inline functions with > 3 + parameters + + * Drivers: + + - Support for O_NONBLOCK was not supported in the "upper half" + serial driver. + - PL2303 compilation errors + + * Stellaris LM3S/4F + + - Corrected typos in alternate function definitions. + + * LPC17xx Drivers: + + - Added a work-around for an ADC errata. From Chris Taglia + - Only one ADC pin was configured. Need to configure all that + are in the ADC0 set. From MKannan + + * File Systems: + + - The FAT logic was not making a distinction between directory + non-existence and file non-existence so when it you try to + create a file in a non-existent directory, it would create a + file with the name of the missing directory. Reported by Andrew + Tridgell + - Several fixes to the FAT file system from Ronen Vainish. These + fixes mostly involve the logic to extend directory clusters for + the case of long file names but also include a few important + general fixes (such as for storing 32 bit FAT values) + - mkfatfs was writing the boot code to the wrong location. From + Petteri Aimonen + + * Networking: + + - Fixed a compilation error when socket options are are disabled. + Reported by Daniel O'Connor + + * C Library: + + - Corrected an error in sscanf. If %n occurs in the format statement + after the input data stream has been fully parsed, the %n format + specifier will not be handled. Reported by Lorenz Meier + - strchr(str, '\0') should return a pointer to the end of the string, + not NULL. From Petteri Aimonen + + * Build System: + + - Fix naming of NuttX target if EXEEXT is defined. + + * Applications: + + - OS test: Fix timing error in non-cancelable thread test. + - NSH: Correct the test of the skip input parameter. Was limiting the + range to <= count. From Ken Petit. |
