Some of these are very important: into the configuration and build system. - apps/examples/composite: Change to prevent some false alarm debug assertions (From Chia Cheng Tao). + +NuttX-6.30 +---------- + +The 97th release of NuttX, Version 6.30, was made on September 14, 2013, +and is available for download from the SourceForge website. Note +that release consists of two tarballs: nuttx-6.30.tar.gz and +apps-6.30.tar.gz. Both may be needed (see the top-level nuttx/README.txt +file for build information). + +Additional new features and extended functionality: + + * Common Drivers: + + - Extended TERMIOS support for serial and CDC/ACM drivers. From + Mike Smith, Andrew Tridgell and Lorenz Meier. + - Added option to disable serial port reordering. From Lorenz Meier. + - Several changes to the USB host control interface and extensions to + common USB host logic to handle host controllers with multiple + downstream ports in the root hub. + - USB device tracing: Extended decoding and stringifying of USB trace + output to include trace output from class drivers. + - USB host tracing: Added support for USB host tracing similar in + some ways to USB device tracing: Stringification is an inherent + part of the trace decoding (not an option). Only available in the + SAMA5 USB host drivers now. + + * Networking / Network Drivers + + - Support for the Microchip ENCX24J600 Ethernet driver from Max + Holtzberg + - CC3000 Networking. Initial support for the TI CC3000 network + module on the Freescale Freedom-KL25Z board from Alan Carvalho + de Assis. This is still a work in progress. + + * ARMv7-A, Cortex-A5 + + - Restructured some MMU-related logic and header files. + - Hooks added for Cortex-A8, but not yet used. + + * STM32 Drivers: + + - STM32 SPI: nbits() interface extended to control bit order as well + as bit width (from Teemu Pirinen) + + * STM32 Boards + + - Olimex STM32-P107: Incorporate ENCX24J600 networking for the Olimex + STM32 P107 board. + - LeafLabs Maple Board: Add board support for the LeafLabs Maple and + Maple Mini boards. From Librae. + + * Atmel AT91 SAMA5D3x + + - Added support for the SAMA5 DMAC controllers. + - DMA-capable drivers for the SAMA5 SPI peripherals. + - DMA-capable HSCMCI 0/1/2 drivers. + - Support for PIO interrupts + - Utilities for intelligent conversions between physical and virtual + addresses. + - Added USB host controller drivers for both the OHCI (low- and full- + speed) peripheral and the ECHI (high-speed) peripheral. + - Added USB device controller for the SAMA5 UDPHS peripheral (full- + and high-speed). + - Added a Two Wire (TWI) driver. This is a variant of I2C. + + * Atmel AT91 SAMA5D3x-EK Development Boards + + - Now supports onboard SDRAM. Modified heap initialization logic + to include SDRAM if configured. + - Integrated a FAT file system on the on-board SPI-based AT25 serial + FLASH + - Integrated HSMCI0 and HSMCI1 support for the microSD and full file + SD card slots. Includes PIO interrupts for card detection events. + - Integrated USB OHCI and ECHI host and high-speed peripheral support. + File system on AT25 now exported via Mass Storage Class. Includes + PIO VBUS controls. + - Integrated the TWI driver and the I2C tool. Added support for an + external AT24 serial EEPROM. + + * Applications: + + - apps/examples/cc3000.

Initial support for the TI CC3000 network + module on the Freescale Freedom-KL25Z board from Alan Carvalho + de Assis. This is still a work in progress. + + * 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 46% of the configurations have been converted + to use the kconfig-frontends tools. + +Bugfixes (see the ChangeLog for details). Some of these are very important: + + * File Systems: + + - ROMFS: Fix an error where long (>15) file names were read + incorrectly from a ROMFS file system. From Mike Smith + - NXFFS: Clean up some compiler warnings. + + * Common Drivers + + - MMC/SD driver: Correction for a bad return value when multiple + block SDIO transfers are suppressed. By Andrew Tridgell. + - USB HID keyboard and mass storage host-side class drivers: Fix some + compilation errors and warnings when pre-allocated data structures + are used. + - USB device-side class drivers: Fix some compilations errors when + DUALSPEED (i.e., full- and high-sped) support is enabled. + - CDC/ACM and PL2303: Don't use max packetsize assigned to the endpoint + when allocating request buffers; The default value of the endpoint + max packetsize may be incorrect because the endpoint has not yet + been configured. Really only an issue for high-speed endpoints. + - USB Host Mast Storage Class: Fixed a problem that was causing some + devices to fail to initialize: If device is returning fatal transfer + errors while attempting to initialize, don't bother with the startup + retries; abort immediately so that the device will be reset and we + can try again with a better ready device. + - USB Host Mast Storage Class: Correct a reference counting error: + When an MSC device transfer fails while waiting for UnitTestReady, + the reference count on the class was not being decremented. The end + result is a memory leak as can be seen by the USB device numbers + incrementing: sda, sdb, sdc, ... + - USB Device CDC/ACM: Fix backward conditional compilation in the + CDC/ACM driver with regard to remote wakeup and self-powered + capabilities. From the PX4 team via Lorenz Meier, + + * Networking / Network Drivers + + - ARP IP harvesting: Correct backward condition in netmask task. + From Max Holtzberg. + - Network connection monitor: Fixes a race condition where a loss of + connection may not be detected when the connection is lost before it + has been accepted (from Max Holtzberg). + - TCP/IP Backlog: Fix a critical bug in the TCP/IP backlog + initialization: Only the first backlog buffer was getting added to + the free list. From Max Holtzberg. + - ENC28J60: Fixes and improvements back-ported from the ENCX24J600 + to the ENC28J60 by Max Holtzberg. + + * STM32 Drivers: + + - STM32 I2C fixes for the STM32 F3 family from John Wharington. + - STM32 I2C Correct an error that crept into the STM32 F1 I2C + driver with some recent changes. From Librae + - STM32 F4: Added some missing CONFIG_SERIAL_TERMIOS support; Fixed + some STM32 F4 Timer 8 pin configurations. From CCTSAO. + - STM32 SDIO: If CONFIG_SDIO_BLOCKSETUP defined, OS would crash. Now + Generate an error if CONFIG_SDIO_BLOCKSETUP is defined; that + option is not yet supported by the STM32 SDIO driver. From CCTSAO + - STM32 I2C Timers: Some CCER bit settings changed. Submitted by + CCCTSAO. + - STM32 CAN: Fix access to CAN filter registers. From the PX4 team + via Lorenz Meier. + - STM32 Kconfig: Fix STM32 UART7/8 Kconfig names and UART DMA. From + the PX4 team via Lorenz Meier. + + * LPC17xx Drivers + + - Fix #endif with missing #if in USB host header file. Reported + by Andrew Bradford, + + * SAM3/4 Boards: + + - Corrected DMA-related problems: Bad register definitions, parameters + reversed in a function call. + - Correct a race condition in the HSMCI driver when an interrupt + occurs before the wait for the interrupt begins. + - Peripheral clock setup: Correct a typo in a register name. + + * Atmel AT91 SAMA5D3 + + - Order of some operations changed in boot-up logic to defer + enabling of caching of memory regions until SDRAM is initialized. + - Correct handling of spurious interrupts. + + * Freescale KL25Z Drivers + + - KL25Z SPI: Correct typo in name of a function. From Alan Carvalho + de Assis. + + * Applications: + + - apps/examples/composite: Fix a typo that can cause a configuration + error. From CCTSAO. + - apps/examples/pwm: Clean-up some configuration confusion. + - apps/netutils/dhcpd/dhcpd.c: Fixed calculation of the next lease + address. From Paolo Messina. + - apps/examples/usbmsc: Don't try to control USB trace if we are + an NSH built-in task. In that case our attempts are inadequate + and only interfere with with other logic that is attempting to + to do the same thing (in NSH or in the USB monitor). + - apps/examples/usbmsc: IMPORTANT bug fix: Change how the msconn + works. Because of recent changes the msconn command was hanging. + This was because the USB MSC start-up logic creates a pthread; + Now waitpid() will wait until all members of the task group + exit. So NSH was hanging in waitpid when msconn started even + though msconn returned. The USB MSC logic really should not use + a pthread, but we are stuck with that for now. The work-around + is the msconn now daemonizes itself so that it so that the pthread + is created in a different task group. + - apps/nshlib: Fix NSH listing output for the case of a single file. + From the PX4 team; provided by Lorenz Meier. |
