+NuttX-7.7
+---------
+
+The 107th release of NuttX, Version 7.7, was made on January 26, 2015,
+and is available for download from the SourceForge website. Note
+that release consists of two tarballs: nuttx-7.7.tar.gz and
+apps-7.7.tar.gz. Both may be needed (see the top-level nuttx/README.txt
+file for build information).
+
+Additional new features and extended functionality:
+
+ * Core OS:
+
+ - Task exit handling: Add logic to clean up after task_delete() or
+ pthread_cancel() if the task happens to be waiting on a semaphore
+ when was is cancelled.
+ - Stack coloration: Removed CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK and replaced it with
+ CONFIG_STACK_COLORATION that does the same thing but without enabling
+ debug. From David Sidrane.
+
+ * Common Drivers:
+
+ - Discrete joystick driver: Added an interface definition and upper
+ half driver for a discrete joystick device (where X/Y changes are
+ indicated with button presses).
+ - Analog joystick driver: Added an interface definition and upper
+ half driver for a analog joystick device (where X/Y positions are
+ sampled, numeric values).
+ - Add driver support for the ADXL345 accelerometer. From Alan
+ Carvalho de Assis
+ - Generic serial driver: Add watermark levels to the serial RX flow
+ control logic. Modify the rxflowcontrol method to accept the number
+ of bytes in the buffer and a boolean indication of which watermark
+ was crossed.
+
+ * File Systems/Block Drivers/MTD:
+
+ - Add procfs write support. From Ken Petit.
+ - Implemented wear-leveling in the SmartFS. From Ken Pettit.
+ - MMC/SD Interface: MMCSD SDIO: Add support for a new
+ SDWAIT_WRCOMPLETE condition. The previous logic used a busy-wait
+ loop to poll the card R1 status to determine when the card was
+ ready for the next transfer. That busy-wait can be quite long --
+ up to hundreds of milliseconds. An alternative is to look the SD D0
+ pin which will change state when the card is no longer busy. This
+ change avoids the busy-wait poll by reconfiguring the SD D0 pin as a
+ GPIO interrupt, then waiting for the card to become ready without
+ taking up CPU cycles. From David Sidrane.
+
+ * Drivers:
+
+ - Add support for a generic EEPROM driver that accesses EEPROM as a
+ character driver (vs. an MTD driver). From Sébastien Lorquet.
+
+ * Graphics Support:
+
+ - Many new fonts converted for use with NuttX and added by
+ Pierre-noel Bouteville
+
+ * Networking:
+
+ - IPv4 support is now conditioned on CONFIG_NET_IPv4.
+ - Implemented and verified IPv6 support conditioned on
+ CONFIG_NET_IPv6. Either IPv4 or IPv4 or both may be selected.
+ Sockets, of course, must be bound to one or the other. Added support
+ for IPv6 ioctls to manipulate IP addresses.
+ - Integrated support for ICMPv6 and the ICMPv6 Neighbor Discovery
+ Protocol and ICMPv6 ECHO request/reply needed to support ping logic.
+ - All Ethernet drivers: Modified to support. Most, however, are
+ still missing address filtering logic required for ICMPv6 Neighbor
+ Discovery Protocol. See
+ http://www.nuttx.org/doku.php?id=wiki:howtos:ipv6#ethernet_driver_requirements
+ - Also added missing raw/packet socket support to all Ethernet drivers.
+
+ * Host Simulation:
+
+ - Add a configuration build and test the Traveler first person game
+ using the simulator.
+ - Add an X11 mouse-based simulation of an analog joystick device
+
+ * Atmel SAMA5D Boards:
+
+ - Add analog Joystick shield support for the SAMA5D3 Xplained board.
+
+ * Freescale KL Drivers:
+
+ - Add GPIO interrupt capability for the KL architecture. From Alan
+ Carvalho de Assis
+
+ * Freescale KL Boards:
+
+ - Freedom-KL25Z: Add board support for the ADXL345 accelerometer. From
+ Alan Carvalho de Assis
+ - Freedom-KL25Z: Update the Freedom KL25Z board CC3000 support to use
+ the current CC300 interfaces. From Alan Carvalho de Assis
+
+ * NXP LPC43xx Boards:
+
+ - A port of NuttX to the LPC4357-EVB from Toby Duckworth. This port
+ is a leverage of the LPC3330-Xplorer port and still have a some
+ misinformation from that port that needs to be updated for the
+ LPC4357-EVB.
+
+ * SiLabs EFM32 Drivers:
+
+ - Serial: Add support for serial termios TCGET and TCSET. For the
+ moment, only set/get speed is implemented. From Pierre-noel
+ Bouteville.
+ - RMU: Add support for the EFM32 reset management unit (RMU). From
+ Pierre-noel Bouteville.
+
+ * SiLabs EFM32 Boards:
+
+ - Add support for timer/PWM on the EFM32GG. From Pierre-noel
+ Bouteville
+
+ * STMicro STM32:
+
+ - Enable support for the STM32 F102. From the PX4 team.
+
+ * STMicro STM32 Drivers:
+
+ - STM32 F429 LTDC: Add interface to perform hardware accelerated layer
+ operation. Provides access to a reference of a specific ltdc layer.
+ From Marco Krahl
+ - STM32 F429 LTDC support: Implemented LTDC framebuffer support for the
+ generic nuttx framebuffer interface. Also implements the interface to
+ perform hardware accelerated layer operation by the ltdc controller
+ and dma2d controller later. From Marco Krahl.
+ - STM32: Add support for the internal low speed clock (LSI) as a
+ source of the RTC clock. Some boards do not have the external
+ 32kKhz oscillator installed, for those boards we must fallback to
+ the crummy internal RC clock. From Kevin Hester
+ - STM32 SDIO: Add support for the new SDWAIT_WRCOMPLETE condition.
+ From David Sidrane
+
+ * STMicro STM32 Boards:
+
+ - Add a discrete Joystick support for the STM3210E-EVAL.
+ - Add analog Joystick shield support for the Nucleo F4x1RE boards.
+ - STM32 F429i-Disco: Add support for initializing of the ltdc
+ controller and the lcd device connected on the stm32f429i-disco.
+ From Marco Krahl.
+ - Removed the px4-v2_upstream configuration. This was not the
+ official configuration for the PX4 board and has led to confusion
+ by NuttX users. The board configuration also requires some ongoing
+ maintenance and customization to support ongoing PX4 testing and
+ evaluation. It is best retained the PX4 repositories where it can
+ be properly maintained and not in the upstream NuttX repository.
+
+ * TI Tiva:
+
+ - Add support for the TI Tiva TM4C 129X family. Some unverified
+ support for the TM4C 1294 is also in place.
+
+ * TI Tiva Drivers:
+
+ - Added support for Tiva I2C driver. Verified on the Tiva TM4C123G
+ and TM4C129X.
+ - Added a Tiva TM4C129X Ethernet driver.
+ - Add a timer library for generic support of Tiva timers
+ - Add a driver lower half for drivers/timer.c. Only 32-bit periodic
+ timers are supported. This provides userspace access to timers.
+
+ * TI Tiva Boards:
+
+ - TM4C123G Launchpad: Add initialization logic for an external AT24
+ EEPROM. This is intended only to support testing of the Tiva I2C
+ driver.
+ - Board support for the Tiva DK-TM4C129x Connected Development Kit.
+ - DK-TMC129X: Add an IPv6-enabled NSH configuration.
+
+ * C Library/Header Files:
+
+ - Added support for a variadic ioctl() function. The ioctl()
+ interface is a non-standard, Unix interface. NuttX has always used
+ the older, three-parameter version. Most contemporary systems now,
+ however, use a variadic form of the ioctl() function. Added an
+ option to insert a shim layer to adapt the three-parameter ioctl()
+ to use the variadic interface form. Internally, the ioctl handling
+ is the same three-parameter logic. The only real complexity to the
+ shim is in how the system calls must be handled.
+ - Added sys/custom_file.h. Used when CUSTOM_FILE_IO is define and
+ avoids re-definition errors about the FILE define. From Thomas
+ Gruber via the PX4 repository
+ - Add CRC8 support to the C library. From Ken Pettit.
+ - math.h: Added support for the expm1 functions. From Brennan Ashton
+
+ * Applications:
+
+ - apps/examples/djoystick: Add a test of the discrete joystick
+ driver.
+ - apps/examples/ajoystick: Add a test of the analog joystick
+ driver.
+ - apps/examples/ltdc: Add ltdc test example. From Marco Krahl
+ - apps/system/lm75: Add a tiny application to read the temperature
+ from an LM-75 (or compatible) temperature sensor
+ - apps/examples/timer: Add a trivial test of the timer driver
+
+ - apps/system/cu: Add a minimalist implementation of the 'cu'
+ terminal program (part of Taylor UUCP for ages). Using it, you can
+ simply open a serial port and interact with it. Using '~.' you can
+ leave the terminal program and drop back to nsh. This might come
+ in handy for people that have e.g. GSM modems, GPS receivers or
+ other devices with text based serial communications attached to
+ their Nuttx systems. From Harald Welte
+ - apps/interpreters/micropython: A port of Micro Python to NuttX.
+ Contributed by Dave Marples
+
+ - apps/netutils/dnsclient: Can select to be either IPv4 or IPv6, but
+ not both (IPv6 still does not compile)
+ - apps/netutils/netlib: Add new library functions to manipulate IPv6
+ addresses.
+ - apps/examples/nettest: Update test so that it can be used to test
+ IPv6 TCP sockets
+ - apps/examples/udp: The UDP test example has been extend to support
+ IPv6 domain sockets
+
+ - apps/nshlib: Add logic to initialize IPv6 addresses
+ - apps/nshlib: Add the ping6 command to support checking IPv6 networks.
+ - apps/nshlib: Clean up network status presentation for IPv6
+
+Efforts In Progress. The following are features that are partially
+implemented but present in this release. They are not likely to be
+completed soon.
+
+ * IPv6. While basic IPv6 support was completed in NuttX-7.7,
+ there are lingering issues with getting IPv6 compatibility
+ with applications and network utilities.
+
+ * Processes. Much of the work in this release is focused on the
+ realization of Unix-style user processes in NuttX. There is more to
+ be done, however. The full roadmap and status is available at:
+ http://www.nuttx.org/doku.php?id=wiki:nxinternal:memconfigs#the_roadmap_toward_processes
+
+ * XMega: There are some fragments in place for an XMega port. That
+ port has not really started, however.
+
+ * Galileo: Similarly, there are fragments in place for an Intel Galileo
+ port. The port probably will not happen (I gave my Galileo board away!).
+
+Bugfixes. Only the most critical bugfixes are listed here (see the
+ChangeLog for the complete list of bugfixes and for additional, more
+detailed bugfix information):
+
+ * Core OS:
+
+ - POSIX message queues: msg type should be char * not void * in
+ mq_send, mq_timedsend, mq_receive, and mq_timedreceive. Noted by
+ Pierre-Noel Bouteville
+ - POSIX message queues: In message queue creation return ENOSPC error
+ if size exceeds the configured size of pre-allocated messages; Use
+ ENOSPC vs ENOMEM per OpenGroup.org. From Pierre-Noel Bouteville.
+ - Task Names: strncpy() will not copy the terminating \0 into the
+ destination if the source is larger than the size of the
+ destination. Ensure that the last byte is always zero and let
+ strncpy() only copy CONFIG_TASK_NAME_SIZE bytes. The issue of
+ unterminated names can be observed in ps when creating a pthread
+ while CONFIG_TASK_NAME_SIZE is set to 8. From Daniel Willmann
+
+ * Memory Management:
+
+ - Granule allocator: Fixes some issues found by the PX4 team using
+ Coverity. From Pavel Krienko
+
+ * Networking:
+
+ - Several fixes correcting issues with the CC3000 networking. From
+ Jussi Kivilinna
+ - CC3000 Fix: Data can be unaligned. When dereferenced as an input
+ ntosh(), a bad value is returned. Reported by Alan Carvalho de
+ Assis
+ - Correct naming of fields in struct sockaddr_in6: sin6_port and
+ sin6_family, not sin_port and sin_family.
+ - accept(): Correct the value returned by accept() in the case where
+ net_lockingwait() is called. It was returning -1 and losing the
+ errno value. Noted by Rony Xln
+
+ * Common Drivers:
+
+ - Loop device should return -EINTR is interrupted by a signal.
+ - M25P serial flash driver: Add subsector size of the M24P16 part.
+ From Lazlo
+ - Common serial driver: In case a thread is doing a blocking operation
+ (e.g. read()) on a serial device, while it is being terminated by
+ pthread_cancel(), then uart_close() gets called, but the semaphore
+ is still blocked. This means that once the serial device is opened
+ next time, data will arrive on the serial port (and driver
+ interrupts handled as normal), but the received characters never
+ arrive in the reader thread. The problem was fixed by re-
+ initializing the semaphores on the last uart_close() on the device.
+ From Harald Welte
+ - Pipes: Fixes some issues found by the PX4 team using Coverity. From
+ Pavel Krienko
+ - CDC/ACM driver: Fixes some issues found by the PX4 team using
+ Coverity. From Pavel Krienko
+
+ * NXP LPC43xx Drivers:
+
+ - LPC4357: Changes required to get USART 2 & 3 working on the
+ lpc4357-evb. From Toby Duckworth.
+
+ * STMicro STM32:
+
+ - Several fixes correcting issues with the STM32 header files from
+ Jussi Kivilinna
+
+ * STMicro STM32 Drivers:
+
+ - Ported Tridge's STM32 I2C noise resilience logic from the PX4
+ repository.
+ - STM32 F2 and F4: Set the GPIO_SPEED_50MHz on all F2 and F4 SPI pin
+ configurations. This is based on an F411 SPI1 errata but the fixed
+ is generalized to all SPI and all F2 and F4. Discovered and fixed
+ by Sebastien Lorquet.
+ - Fix for STM32 OTGHS device driver working in FS mode. From Ken
+ Pettit.
+ - For STM32 OTG HS DEV (in FS mode): Disable ULPI clock enable in RCC
+ AHB1 Register. If Both ULPI and the FS clock enable bits are set in
+ FS mode, then the ARM never awakens from WFI due to a chip issue.
+ This is only an issue if you are using the internal PHY. From Ken
+ Pettit.
+ - STM32 F429 LTDC: Add missing clut register definition. From Marco
+ Krahl
+ - STM32 serial: fix declaration and definition of up_receive() and
+ up_dma_receive() to match fields in the interface definition of
+ struct uart_ops_s. From Freddie Chopin.
+
+ * TI Tiva Drivers:
+
+ - Fix Tiva IRQ control logic; was limited to only 64 IRQs. That is a
+ problem for higher numbered IRQs on many platforms
+
+ * C Library/Header Files:
+
+ - avsprintf(): Fix a bug in usage of va_list on x86. On x86,
+ va_list is a pointer to a single copy on the stack. avsprintf()
+ calls lib_vsprintf() twice and so traverses the va_list twice using
+ va_start. va_start modifies that single copy on the stack so that
+ the second call to lib_vsprintf() fails. This appears to be an
+ issue with x86 only so far.
+ - stdint.h: Don't use hex values to specify minimum values of fixed
+ width, signed values. Hex values are inherently unsigned and not
+ usable for this purpose in all contexts.
+ - strncpy(): Would trash a lot of memory if n == 0. From Yasuhiro
+ Osaki.
+ - sscanf(). Accept %X and %F as well as %x %f as a format specifiers.
+ From Sébastien Lorquet
+
+ * Applications:
+
+ - apps/examples/romfs: fix romfs example builtin app registry issue.
+ From Librae
+ - apps/system/cdcacm, composite and usbmsc: Fix some strangely placed
+ conditional compilation. Looks like an automated update went awry
+ - apps/netutils/telnetd: Add protection when CONFIG_SCHED_HAVE_PARENT
+ is enabled: Call sigaction with SA_NOCLDWAIT so that exit status is
+ not retained (no zombies) and block receipt of SIGCHLD so that
+ accept is not awakened by a signal. If accept() is awakened by a
+ signal, do not do anything crazy like exit. Most from Rony Xln
+ - apps/nshlib/: NSH TFTP get command: Wrong file name used for the
+ destination. From Lazlo
