+ This 47<sup>th</sup> release of NuttX was made on December 21, 2009 and is available for download from the
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=189573">SourceForge</a> website.
The change log associated with the release is available <a href="#currentrelease">here</a>.
Unreleased changes after this release are available in CVS.
These unreleased changes are listed <a href="#pendingchanges">here</a>.
</p>
<p>
- The release extends the support for the STMicro STM32 microcontroller.
- Minimal support for the STM3210E-EVAL development board based around the STM32F103ZET6
- MCU was released in NuttX-0.4.12 and extended in Nuttx-0.4.13 to include initial USB support.
- This completes the STM32F103ZET6 support and adds:
+ The previous NuttX release was 4.14.
+ The major revision number has been incremented to indicate that an
+ incompatibility with previous nuttx releases has been introduced.
+ This version adopts standard fixed width integer names as specified by the
+ ANSII C99 standard.
+ The core logic of NuttX is older than that standard and did not conform to it.
</p>
<p>
- New Generic RTOS Features:
+ If you have applications running on nuttx-4.14, those applications should continue
+ to build and execute without problem on nuttx-5.0.
+ However, if you have device drivers or other OS-internal logic, you will probably
+ have to make some minor changes to your code to use this version.
+ Below is a summary of those changes:
<ul>
- <li>Added generic support that can be included in any block driver to provide
- read-ahead buffering and write buffering for improved driver performance.</li>
- <li>Added a generic worker thread that can used to defer processing from an
- interrupt to a task.</li>
- <li>Defined a generic SD/SDIO interface can can be bound to a MMC/SD or SDIO
- driver to orovide SDIO support.</li>
- <li>Implemented a an SDIO-based MMC/SD driver using this new SDIO interface</li>
+ <li>If you include <code>sys/types.h</code> to get the non-standard, fixed width
+ integer types (<code>uint32</code>, <code>uint16</code>, <code>ubyte</code>, etc.),
+ that is no longer necessary.
+ <li>Instead, you will need to include <code>stdint.h</code> where the new fixed width
+ integer types are defined (<code>uint32_t</code>, <code>uint16_t</code>, <code>uint8_t</code>, etc.).
+ <li>You will have to change all occurrences of the following types:
+ <ul><pre>
+uint32 -> uint32_t
+uint16 -> uint16_t
+ubyte -> uint8_t
+uint8 -> uint8_t
+sint32 -> int32_t
+sint16 -> int16_t
+sint8 -> int8_t
+</pre></ul>
+ <li>In addition, the non-standard type <code>boolean</code> must replaced with the
+ standard type <code>bool</code>.
+ The type definition for <code>bool</code> is in <code>stdbool.h</code>.
</ul>
</p>
<p>
- New STM32-specific Features:
- <ul>
- <li>Add support to configure an STM32 input GPIO to generate an EXTI interrupt.</li>
- <li>Added support for buttons on the STM3210E-EVAL board.</li>
- <li>Implemented an STM32 version of the common the SDIO interface.</li>
- <li>Added a configuration to exercise the STM32 with the USB mass storage
- device class example.</li>
- </ul>
+ This change in typing caused small changes to many, many files.
+ The changes was verified that all configurations in the release still build correctly
+ (other than the SDCC-based configurations).
+ Regression testing was performed on a few configurations, but it is possible that minor build
+ issues still exist (if you encounter any, please let me know and I will
+ help you to fix them).
</p>
<p>
- This release also corrects some important bugs in the earlier STM32 releases:
+ In the course of the regression testing, several important bugs unrelated
+ to the type changes were found and corrected.
+ Two of these are critical bugs:
<ul>
- <li>Correct error handling in the mount() logic.</li>
- <li> Fixed several STM32 DMA-related issues. Integrated and debugged STM32 DMA
- functionality that was added in 0.4.12.</li>
- <li>Fixed several bugs in the STM32 USB device-side driver.</li>
+ <li>Fixed an important error in the RX FIFO handling logic of the LM3S6918
+ Ethernet driver.
+ <li>Corrected the handling of TCP sequence numbers in the TCP stack.
</ul>
</p>
<p>
- NOTE: This version, 4.14, is equivalent to what would have been called 0.4.14
- to follow 0.4.13. The zero has been eliminated from the front of the version
- number to avoid confusion about the state of development: Some have interpreted
- the leading zero to mean that the code is in some way unstable. That was not
- the intent. Beginning in January 2010, I will switch to the 2010.nn versioning
- as many others have done to avoid such confusion.
+ And other less important bug fixes as detailed in the <a href="#currentrelease">ChangeLog</a>.
+</p>
+<p>
+ The primary focus of this release was standards compatibility, but a few new
+ features were added including a (1) Flash Translation Layer (FTL) that will
+ support filesystems on a FLASH device and (2) partial ports for the STM32F107VC
+ and HCS12 M9S12NE64 MCUs. Those ports are very incomplete as of this writing.

+^^^^^^^^^
+
+This is 47th release of NuttX and the successor to nuttx-4.14. This
+major revision number has been incremented to indicate that an
+incompatibility with previous nuttx releases has been introduced. This
+version adopts standard fixed width integer names as specified by the
+ANSII C99 standard. The core logic of NuttX is older than that
+standard and did not conform to it.
+
+If you have applications running on nuttx-4.14, those applications
+should continue to build and execute without problem on nuttx-5.0.
+However, if you have device drivers or other OS-internal logic, you
+will probably have to make some minor changes to your code to use
+this version. Below is a summary of those changes:
+
+o If you include sys/types.h to get the non-standard, fixed width
+ integer types (uint32, uint16, ubyte, etc.), that is no longer
+ necessary.
