This table is currenly only used (1) + when we need to look-up an Ethernet device based on an IP address, + and (2) in the ARP logic when we need to request the MAC address of + the router, vs the MAC address of the peer. + - Make net_close() nonblocking and free unestablished connections if + no free connections available. From Max Holtzberg. + - Changed the meaning of the uip_*input functions. They now return + success when a packet is dropped; This is needed for the ENCX24J600 + driver that must make a decision to return the packet or not: It + should not retry dropped packets. From Max Holtzberg. + - David Sidrane has completed integration of the CC3000 networking. + This is much more than a network driver: It is a complete + replacement for the NuttX networking with off-chip networking support + in the CC3000. + - Numerous enhancements to the ENCX24J600 driver from Max Holtberg. + + * Other Common Drivers: + + - The SST25 serial FLASH MTD driver now includes support for the + SST25VF016B. From David Sidrane. + - Add a preflight method to the SDIO interface to support the STM32 + DMA usage model. From Mike Smith. + - Enhanced the MMC/SD SDIO driver to perform DMA preflight operations + and fail DMA read/write requests that fail preflighting. From Mike + Smith. + - Add an ioctl command that can be used to trigger ADC/DAC conversion + under application control. + + * File Systems: + + - Enhanced the FAT32 filesystem code to understand DMA preflight + failures, and to use the file sector buffer as a bounce buffer when + a user-supplied buffer is not suitable for DMA. From Mike Smith. + + * Atmel AT91 SAMA5D3x + + - Add support so that subsets of the total DRAM (and other external + memory) can be added to the heap, leaving other memory reserved for + other purposes (like the LCDC framebuffers). + + * Atmel AT91 SAMA5D3x Drivers: + + - Use more descriptive task names when starting the EHCI and OHCI + monitor tasks. + - Added a 10/100Base-T Ethernet (EMAC) driver. + - Added a 1000Base-T Ethernet (GMAC) driver. + - Added a Real Time Clock (RTC) driver and integrated with the NuttX + system time logic. + - Added support for /dev/random using the SAMA5D3x True Random Number + Generator (TRNG). + - Added a Watchdog Timer (WDT) driver. + - Added a Timer/Counter (TC) library with interface that make be used + by other drivers that need timer support. + - Added an ADC driver that can collect multiple samples using the + sequencer, can be trigger by a timer/counter, and supports DMA data + transfers. + - Added a touchscreen driver based on the special features of the + SAMA5D3 ADC peripheral. + - Added an LCD controller (LCDC) frame buffer driver. + - Added a CAN driver. However, testing has been delayed because of + cabling issues. + - Basic header file support is available for the Image Sensor + Interface (ISI) camera interface. Work on the camera driver is + underway and is expected in the next release. + + * Atmel AT91 SAMA5D3x-EK Development Boards + + - Add OS test support for the FPU test. + - Enable the task name feature board configuration sto provide + prettier ps command output. + - Added NX and NxWM configurations to verify the LCD and touchscreen. + There are still some outstanding issues with the NxWM configuration + as of this release. + - The TRNG and /dev/random are now enabled by default in the demo + configuration. + + * Atmel AT91 SAM3/4 Boards: + + - Add configuration to select revision 3 of the Arduino Due which has + some small but important differences. Suggested by gdi@embedders.org. + + * STMicro STM32: + + - Add support for the STM32F207ZE chip. From Martin Lederhilger. + + * STMicro STM32 Boards: + + - Add configuration for the Spark Core. The initial check-in is + basically the Maple Mini board and subsequent development by David + Sidrane is his special Spark emulation hardware. The configuration + should be very mature when actual Spark hardware is available. + - Support for the Olimex STM32 P207 board added by Martin Lederhilger. + - Configuration for the Mikroe STM32F4 board configuration updated for + audio support by Ken Pettit. + + * NXP LPC17xx Boards: + + - zkit-arm-1769: LED1 is now user controllable after booting. From + Rashid Fatah. + + * Kinetis KL Drivers: + + - PIT and TPM register definitions header files for the from Alan + Carvalho de Assis. + - Added low-level getc() function for operation with no file system. + The KL25Z can now support NSH in a very minimal system that does + not even have a file system. + + * Kinetis KL Boards + + - A new configuration called minnsh was added is an experiement to + see how small we can get the NuttX footprint and still support NSH. + From Alan Carvalho de Assis.. + + * TI Calypso Phones: + + - Basic board support for the Motorola C139 (Compal E86) phone. From + Craig Comstock. + + * Applications: + + - Moved several useful examples from apps/examples to apps/system. + This includes USB MSC, USB CDC/ACM, and USB Composite. + - New addroute and delroute commands added to NSH in order to manage + the network routing table. + - Numerous enhancements and updates to the CC3000 example from David + Sidrane. + - Add a new stack monitor daemon that can be used to constantly + monitor stack usage by all threads. + - Numerous changes to get NSH working with no file system. Basically + this suppresses I/O redirection and replaces file I/O with calls to + low-level console read/write functions. Suggested by Alan Carvalho + de Assis. + - apps/system/nxplayer: A new, command-line media player called + 'nxplayer' from Ken Pettit. + - apps/examples/random: Add a simple test that dumps values from + /dev/random. + - apps/examples/adc: Add support so that a ADC driven by software + triggering can be tested. + + * Build System: + + - The MKDEP tools now support a new argument that identifies the + object file path. + +Efforts In Progress. The following are features that are partially +implemented but present in this release. They are not likely be be +completed soon. + + * kconfig-fronted Configuration: + + - Conversion of old configurations to use the kconfig-frontends + tool is an ongoing effort that will continue for some time. + At this time, only 48% of the configurations have been converted + to use the kconfig-frontends tools. + +Bugfixes (see the ChangeLog for details). Some of these are very important: + + * Initialzation and Scheduling: + + - IDLE thread initialization logic should not call group_setupidlefiles() + if there are no file descriptors (and, hence, no file system). + - Fix some cornercase error handling logic: If sched_releasetcb() is + called as part of a failed pthread startup before the flags field in + the TCB has been initialized, then a crash occurs. Pointed out by + David Sidrane. + + * Networking / Network Drivers: + + - Look up of a device using subnet will fail if the packet is being + sent out of our subnet (via a router). The fallback here is just to + use the only device ("eth0") if the subnet lookup fails (this logic + was extended to handle multiple Ethernet devices by adding a simple + routing table). + - Fix some backward conditional logic in send() that enabled the + check if the ARP address is in the ARP table. From Max Holtzberg. + - Notify the socket layer from the network monitor if a connection is + lost before the monitoring callback has been registered. From Max + Holtzberg. + - send(): Reset the send timeout when the data is ACKed, not when the + data is sent. Remove conditions on checking for timeout. From Max + Holtzberg. + - Correct how the TCP/IP initial minimum MSS is calculated. Max + Holtzberg. + - TCP state machine: Move tcp connection into SYN_RCVD state after + aception instead of bypassing and moving directly into ESTABLISHED. + From Max Holtzberg. + - Numerous fixes to the ENCX24J600 driver from Max Holtberg. + + * USB Drivers: + + - Change naming of SELFPOWERED and REMOTEWAKEUP to avoid name + collisions. Prepend the name of the driver (for example + CDCACM_SELFPOWERED). + - CDC/ACM class driver: Change the interval for the interrupt + endpoint from 0xff (invalid) to 10. This is not a critical + change but will avoid a complaint from the Linux driver when + it overrides the 0xff value. + + * ARM Cortex-A5: + + - Fix an error in data cache clean and invalidate functions: Fix of + addresses to cache line boundaries. + + * Atmel AT91 SAMA5D3x Drivers: + + - Correct some inconsistencies in the way that USB configuration + settings are used. This caused compilation errors in SAMA5 OHCI + when USB debug was ON but USB host tracing was off. + - When 480MHz UPLL is used to drive OHCI, it should have a divider + of 10. However, that does not work. A divider of 5 does. Why?. + - OHCI HCD: Fix a place where DMA-related data needed to be flushed + to data cache; Fix another where a virtual address was being used + in a register where a physical address was required. + - HSMCI Driver: TX DMA disabled. It is just not reliable. No idea + why. RX DMA is still used. + - STM32F103C pinmapping corrections from David Sidrane. + + * Atmel SAMA5D3x-EK Board + + - Increase the number of pre-allocated watchdog timers. The default + number of 4 was easily being exhausted in the more complex + configurations. + + * STMicro STM32: + + - STM32 F4 DMA definitions: Typo fixes for UART7 and UART8 DMA + configs. From Mike Smith. + - DMA priority configuration corrections from Mike Smith. + - Changes to the stm32_dmacapable API. In order to correctly + verify that a buffer can be transferred, the transfer count and + the CCR value are required. Implemented stm32_dmacapable for + stm32f1xx devices. Enhanced stm32_dmacapable for stm32f2xx and + stm32f4xx devices to check for additional conditions that will cause + DMA to fail or lose data. + - STM32 F1 DMA fix from David Sidrane: The DMA_CNDTRx register + cannot be modified if the DMA channel is disabled. + + * STMicro STM32 Drivers: + + - Fix compilation errors from bad bit definitions in ADC and PWM + register. From Martin Lederhilger. + - DMA-related fixes to the SPI driver from Ken Pettit. + + * NXP LPC17xx Drivers: + + - Remove undefined spi_select() prototype. This was causing compile + time warnings. + + * NXP LPC17xx Boards: + + - zkit-arm-1768: MMC/SD is on SPI, not SSP0. From Rashid Fatah. + + * C Library + + - scanf() fixes from kfrolov: 1) sscanf() function hangs in the + following example: sscanf("2", "%u,%u,%u,%u", ...), 2) sscanf() + returns incorrect number of parsed numbers if some arguments + can't be parsed: sscanf("=2", "%u,%u,%u,%u",...)==1 instead of + 0, and 3) using of char* instead of const char* in vsscanf + function leads to warnings from GCC. + + * Build System + + - Dependency generation generation was broken for directories that + keep objects in a sub-directory. The MKDEP tools now support a new + argument that identifies the object file path. + - tools/define.sh: 'cut' no longer works as it once did. Script + adapted to observed behavior. + + * Applications: + + - Remove a warning from the NSH library when DHCP is not enabled. + - Default NSH IP address should be 0x0a000001 (10.0.0.1), not + 0xa0000001 (160.0.0.1). Ditto for the gateway. + - Add some missing options to the OS test Kconfig file + - Fix some bad conditional compilation in the USB monitor. + - Fix default I2C frequency used by the I2C tool: 400KHz instead + of 4MHz. Suggested by Max Kriegleder. + - Increase stack size for the system/info command. Ken Petit + reports that this simple command can exceed its 768 stack size + under certain conditions. The size is marginal and has been + increased to 1024 by default but is also now configurable. + - apps/Makefile: Needs to include external/Make.defs if we want + allow external applications to participate in the NuttX + configuration. Suggested by gdi@embedders.org. + - apps/netutils/telnetd: Missing argument to debug statement + can cause crashes in certain error conditions. From David + Sidrane. + - apps/examples/can: Correct an error in a debug statement. From + Martin Lederhilger. |
