Some of these are very important: Sidrane. - apps/examples/can: Correct an error in a debug statement. From Martin Lederhilger. + +NuttX-6.32 +---------- + +The 99th release of NuttX, Version 6.32, was made on December 7, 2013, +and is available for download from the SourceForge website. 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. Based on BSD-compatible Atmel sample code. + - MTD geometry structure is now packed so that it can support larger + erase block sizes needed by NAND without increasing the size of + the geometry structure. + - SST25: Add another SST25 SerialFlash driver, sst25xx.c. This one + differs from sst25.c in that it supports larger SST25 parts: In + the larger parts support page write instead of byte/word writes + like the smaller parts. From Ken Pettit. + + * USB Drivers + + - STM32 F1 USB Device: Add support for decoded USB trace strings. + From David Sidrane. + + * ARM + + - Add more ARM9 cache management functions to flush and invalidate + D-Cache for DMA support. + + * Atmel AT91 SAMA5D3x Drivers: + + - Many new drivers including CAN, PWM, SSC/I2S + - PCK: Add support for programmable clock outputs. + - NAND: Driver with hardware ECC and DMA support + + * Atmel AT91 SAMA5D3x Boards: + + - SAMA5D3x-EK: Add support for the apps/examples/i2schar test. + - SAMA5D3x-EK: Provides board-specific memory controller initialize + for NAND flash. + - SAMA5D3x-EK: Add support for "auto-mounting" NAND MTD block driver + or NXFFS file system. + + * Atmel AT91 SAM3/4 Boards: + + - Basic support for the Atmel SAM4E family. From Mitko. + + * STMicro STM32: + + - Added support for the STM32F429. From Ken Pettit. + - Added support for GPIOK and GPIOJ. From Ken Pettit. + + * STMicro STM32 Drivers + + - STM32 F4 OTG FS/HS Device: OTG FS device and host drivers extended + so that they can support either the OTG FS peripheral or the OTG HS + peripheral (in FS mode). This was done as a quick way to get USB + support on the STM32F429 which has only OTG HS. From Ken Pettit. + - Added header files and driver framework for the STM32F429 LTDC + framebuffer driver. From Ken Pettit. + + * STMicro STM32 Boards: + + - Support for the Spark board was completely by Davide Sidrane. The + Spark configuration includes integrated CC3000 wireless support, FAT + file system on the SerialFlash and a composite device that can be + used both to export the FAT file system and to provide a serial + interface. + - The Mikroe-stm32f4 now uses /dev/config for configuration data + storage. From Ken Pettit. + - Added support for the STM32F429I-Discovery board from Ken Pettit. + - Added board support for the ViewTool STM32F103/F107 board with the + STM32F107VCT6 installed. + + * NXP LPC31xx Drivers: + + - USB ECHI HCD: Add a driver for the low-/full-/high-speed variant + of the EHCI host controller. + + * NXP LPC31xx Boards: + + - Board-specific USB host support for the Emedded Artists EA3131 board. + (Missing PCA9532 controls). + - Add support for the Olimex LPC-H3131 board. Including USB host + support (which does not depend on the PCA8532 interface). + + * Kinetis KL Drivers: + + - PWM driver for the Freescale Kinetis KL family from Alan Carvalho + de Assis. + + * Kinetis KL Boards + + - Freedom-KL25Z: Add PWM support from Alan Carvalho de Assis. + + * TI Stellaris LM3S + + - Don't initialize .data in start-up logic if not running from FLASH. + + * Applications: + + - apps/platform: A new home for platform-specific application code. + - Define a common interface that can be used to manage platform- + specific configuration data.

From Ken Pettit. + - Allow USB trace without a USB console. From David Sidrane. + - Mount command updates from Ken Pettit. + - Add an option to the mkfatfs command to specify FAT12, FAT16, or FAT32. + + * Tools + + - tools/mkctags.sh: A script for creating ctags from Ken Pettit. + +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 50% 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 + + - FAT: In one error return case, the error return value was not being + set, making the failure look like success. From David Sidrane. + - mount: SMART FS must be included in the conditional compilation for + the set of file systems that require block drivers. From Daniel + Palmer. + - SmartFS: Fixed a minor bug with SMART partition number reporting + that would only be seen if both partition support and multi-root + directory support are enabled at the same time. 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. Was this ever able to + format a FAT16 volume? + + * MTD Drivers + + - MTD Partitions: Fix erase block vs page block confusion. From Ken + Pettit + - SST25 Serial Flash: Improved write performance by fixing a bug that + prevented operation in the faster write mode. From David Sidrane. + + * USB Drivers: + + - USB MSC Device: pthread_join() does not work if called from a + different task group than the pthread. This is correct behavior, + but still a problem. The correct solution would be configure the + USB MSC thread to a task, however, this workaround from David + Sidrane plugs the hole for now. + - USB CDC/ACM, USB MSC, and Composite Device Classes: Un-initialization + logic caused re-use of a stale pointer. Changed to a two pass + un-initialization for the case of the composite driver: Memory + resources are not freed until the second un-initialization pass. + From David Sidrane. + + * STMicro STM32 Drivers: + + - STM32 F1 USB Device: Fix some errors that cause crashes when the USB + was disconnected. From David Sidrane. + - STM32 F1 USB Device: Correct EP0 state handling logic when buffers + larger than the EP0 packet size are sent. From David Sidrane. + - STM32 F1 USB Device: The long outstanding bug involving the handling + of OUT SETUP commands has been fixed in the STM32 F1 USB device + driver by David Sidrane. + - Kconfig: Add missing setup of CAN TSEG1 and TSEG2 values. From + Martin Lederhilger. + + * Tools + + - tools/mkconfig.c: SMART FS must be included in the conditional + compilation for the set of writable file systems. Noted by Daniel + Palmer. + + * Applications: + + - apps/platform/Makefile: Was not dealing with the bin sub-directory + correctly. + - apps/system/composite/composite_main.c: The wrong handle was getting + nullified.
