Note +that release consists of two tarballs: nuttx-6.32.tar.gz and +apps-6.32.tar.gz. Both may be needed (see the top-level nuttx/README.txt +file for build information). + +Additional new features and extended functionality: + + * General: + + - Extension and standardization of stack debug logic. Now includes + coloration of the IDLE and interrupt stacks as well as the heap. + Suggested by David Sidrane. + + * Audio Subsystem and Audio Drivers: + + - I2S interface definition. Integrates with audio sub-system. + - VS1053 worker thread stack size is now configurable and assigned a + name via pthread_setname_np(). From Ken Pettit. + + * Networking / Network Drivers + + - Updates and adaptations to support for TI CC3000 wireless module + from David Sidrane. These updates include multi-threading support + and interface and header file changes to integrate more seamlessly + with NuttX applications. + + * File Systems: + + - procfs: Add support for a tiny procfs file system. The initial + offering is little more that a proof of concept but may be developed + further in subsequent releases. + - NXFFS: An initial attempt was made to integrate NXFFS with the NAND + MTD driver. Changes were made to handle bad blocks. However, I + later realized that NXFFS cannot handle NAND because the way that + is re-writes blocks is incompatible with the NAND ECC handling. + These changes were backed-out so as not to introduce turmoil, but + can be re-enabled if needed via configuration option. + - NXFFS: Make the start up scan of the media a configuration option. + It just takes to long and is not really necessary! Those rare cases + where the scan was helpful can be fixed using flash_eraseall(). + + * General Drivers: + + - I2S: A simple character driver was added to support I2S accesses. + This driver in its current state is intended only to support I2C + testing and would not be appropriate to used for any real driver + application. + + * MTD Drivers + + - Add a container for an MTD device that can be used to provide a + simple, lightweight interface to configuration data storage that + resides on some storage media that is wrapped as an MTD device. + From Ken Pettit. + - New interface definition for lower half NAND drivers. + - MTD Nand: Add MTD NAND driver that will support ONFI devices, + non-ONFI devices (via table lookup), bad block checking, software + ECC (Hamming), and will interact with the lower-half, hardware- + specific, NAND driver.

From Ken Pettit. + - Deadlock: The inode semaphore must be re-entrant. Here is the re- + entrant path that I found: (1) USB host connects to FLASH drive and + creates /dev/sda, (2) /dev/sda is mounted, (3) FLASH drive is + removed but /dev/sda is not destroyed because there is still a + reference on the device because of the mount, (4) umount() is + called, taking the inode semaphore, now the driver tries to destroy + the block driver by calling unregister_blockdriver(). But (5) + unregister_blockdriver() also takes the inode semaphore causing a + deadlock if the inode semaphore is not re-entrant. + - FAT: Fix a typo in the FAT16 formatting logic.
