Also, bit count should not be + changed while the SPI peripheral is enabled. From Petteri Aimonen. + * drivers/mmcsd/mmcsd_spi.c: When bus is shared, the speed has to be + set every time. Also SD cards require a few dummy clocks to react + into CS release. From Petteri Aimonen. + * configs/lm4f120-launchpad: In initial configuration for testing + the LM4F120 LaunchPad port. This is to support testing only and + is not yet a functional board port (as of 2013-03-01). + * arch/arm/include/lm/lm4f_irq.h and arch/arm/src/lm/chip/lm4f_vector.h: + Add interrupt vector/IRQ number definitions for the LM4F120. + * arch/arm/src/stm32f20xxx_dma.c and stm32f40xxx_dma.c: Fix a typo + in assigned base register addresses for each DMA channel. From + Yan T. + * Several build fixes from Mike Smith were incorporated. These were + mostly compilation errors introduced into the system because of the + large number of recent changes with broad scope (2013-03-04). + * configs/zkit-arm-17969/src/up_can.c: Add CAN support to the + Zilogics Technologies ZKIT-ARM-1769 board (From Rashid Fatah, (2013-03-04)). + * arch/arm/src/lpc17/lpc17*_clockconfig.c: The WaveShare Open1788 + board now boots and passes the OS test. This is the work of + Rommel Marcelo (2013-03-04). + * arch/arm/src/lm/lm_gpio.c, lm_gpio.h, and chip/lm4f_pinconfig.h + Extend GPIO logic to handle LM4F. Add LM4F pin configuration header + file (2013-03-04). + * configs/open1788: Enable LED support in all configurations. + (2013-03-04) + * configs/open1788/nsh: NSH configuration verified function. By Rommel + Marcelo (2013-03-05). + * configs/open1788/src/lpc17_nsh.c: Use the SD card interface, not SPI + to interface with SD cards (2013-03-05. + * arch/arm/src/lpc17xx/lpc17_sdcard.c and header files: Clone the STM32 + SD card interface to the LPC1788. It appears to be the same IP. + (2013-03-05) + * libc/wqueue: Work queue logic moved from sched/ to libc/wqueue. It + is not really core OS functionality and this move helps prepare for + user-space work queues. (2013-03-05) + * libc/wqueue: Implemented user-space work queues. These will not + get tested until the next time I attempt a NuttX kernel build. + (2013-03-05). + * arch/arm: Correct some bad syscall dispatching logic. This change + cannot be fully tested until there is a fielded NuttX kernel build. + (2013-03-06). + * net/net_poll.c: Correct logic that checks if the socket is + disconnected when the poll is setup. That is bad logic: Listen + sockets, for example, are not connected. In that case, the purpose of + the poll is to wait for connection events. As a result of this, + poll/select would return immediately with POLLHUP with it was used to + detect connection events. This fix for now was to check instead if + the socket is closed (meaning that it was connected at one time but + was closed by the remote peer). That excludes the listen socket which + was never connected. This does introduce a new problem, however. If + the socket was not closed, but lost the connection through an abnormal + event, then poll/select will hang. That needs to be revisited. + (2013-03-07) + * fs/fs_select.c: Was not checking if the timeout parameter was NULL + but would, instead, setup a bogus timeout based on whatever it found at + address zero. Also, improved some of the memory allocation logic so + that it will not use so much memory. (2013-03-07) + * net/net_poll.c: Handle the missing case. Now tests for not connected + AND not listening. I think that now covers all of the cases including + the missing case noted above. (2013-03-07) + * mm/: Move all memory manager globals into a structure. A reference + to this structure is now passed internally between mm APIs. This + change will (eventually) support multiple heaps and heap allocators. + (2013-03-08). + * mm/ and include/nuttx/mm.h: Implement support for multiple heaps. + (2013-03-08). + * arch/*/src: xyz_addregion() needs to call kmm_addregion, not mm_addregion. + (2013-03-08). + * sched/kmm*.c: Move this garbage kmm*.c file to mm/. until I decide what + to do with them (which is probably to just delete them). (2013-03-08). + * mm/mm_test.c and Makefile.test: Deleted the memory test. This was + a good test and helped me a lot when I wrote the memory manager, but + now it is in the way and paralyzing other efforts. So the memory unit + test was deleted. (2013-03-08) + * sched/sched_free.c: Rename sched_free() to sched_ufree(); Add + sched_kfree() to handler deferred kernel heap allocations. (2013-03-10) + * arch/: User user-accessible heap to allocate all stacks. (2013-03-10) + * arch/arm/src/sam3u: The AT91SAM3U will now support a kernel heap if + so configured. (2013-03-10) + * configs/sam3u-ek/knsh: This configuration was converted to use the + kconfigs-frontends build tool. (2013-03-10) + * configs/*/include/user_map.h and include/nuttx/userspace.h: Remove + the very kludgy user_map.h file and replace it with a header that + is expected at the beginning of the user-space blob. (2013-03-10) + * configs/sam3u-ek/kernel/up_userspace.c: This is the header for + the SAM3U-EK's user space. (2013-03-10) + * sched/os_bringup.c: In the kernel build, os_bringup() now uses the + user-space header to automatically start the user-space work queue, + if so configured. (2013-03-10) + * arch/arm/src/lpc17xx/lpc17_mpuinit.c and lpc17_userpace.c: Add + support for the MPU and kernel build for the LPC17xx family. + (2013-03-11) + * configs/open1788/kernel and knsh: Add kernel build support and + a kernel NSH configuration for the WaveShare Open1788 board. + (2013-03-11) + * configs/sam3u_ek/kernel, knsh, and scripts: Move some files around + for better supportability. (2013-03-11) + * configs/open1788/kernel, knsh, and scripts: Add a kernel mode build + configuration for the WaveShare Open1788 board. (2013-03-11) + * arch/arm/src/armv7-m/up_mpu.c: Several fixes to MPU logic. + (2013-03-12). + * arch/arm, configs/sam3u-ek, configs/open1788: Fix memory map for + kernel mode build; Some regions were overlapping. (2013-03-13). + * arch/: Rename g_heapbase to g_idle_topstack. This is the same value + however: The top of the IDLE stack is the same as the base of the + heap in the flat build. But not in the kernel build: The base of + the heap is elsewhere so the naming was wrong. (2013-03-13). + * libc/stdlib/lib_itoa.c: Implementation of itoa() contributed by + Ryan Sundberg.

It makes sense for 'leaf' Makefiles to have this dependency, - but it does not make sense for upper-level Makefiles. - * apps/namedapp/: Renamed to builtins in preparation for another change. - * .context: Removed the .context kludge. This caused lots of problems - when changing configurations because there is no easy way to get the - system to rebuild the context. Now, the context will be rebuilt - whenever there is a change in either .config or the Makefile. - * apps/builtin/registry: Updated new built-in registration logic to handle - cases where (1) old apps/.config is used, and (2) applications ared - removed, not just added. - * apps/examples/nettest/Makefile: Fix an error that crept in during - some of the recent, massive build system changes. - * apps/builtin/Makefile: Need to have auto-generated header files - in place early in the dependency generation phase to avoid warnings. - It is not important if they are only stubbed out header files at - this build phase. - * apps/examples/hidbkd: Now supports decoding of encoded special keys - if CONFIG_EXAMPLES_HIDKBD_ENCODED is defined. - * apps/examples/hidbkd: Add support for decoding key release events - as well. However, the USB HID keyboard drier has not yet been - updated to detect key release events. That is kind of tricky in - the USB HID keyboard report data. - * apps/examples/wlan: Remove non-functional example. - * apps/examples/ostest/vfork.c: Added a test of vfork(). - * apps/exampes/posix_spawn: Added a test of posix_spawn(). - * apps/examples/ostest: Extend signal handler test to catch - death-of-child signals (SIGCHLD). - * apps/examples/ostest/waitpid.c: Add a test for waitpid(), waitid(), - and wait(). - * builtin/binfs.c: Add hooks for dup() method (not implemented). - * builtin/exec_builtin.c, nshlib/nsh_parse.c, and nshlib/nsh_builtin.c: - NSH now supports re-direction of I/O to files (but still not from). - * builtin/binfs.c: Greatly simplified (it is going to need to be - very lightweight). Now supports open, close, and a new ioctl to recover - the builtin filename. The latter will be needed to support a binfs - binfmt. - * builtin/binfs.c: Move apps/builtin/binfs.c to fs/binfs/fs_binfs.c - CONFIG_APPS_BINDIR rename CONFIG_FS_BINFS - * apps/include/builtin.h: Some of the content of - apps/include/apps.h moved to include/nuttx/binfmt/builtin.h. - apps/include/apps.h renamed builtin.h - * apps/builtin/exec_builtins.c: Move builtin - utility functions from apps/builtin/exec_builtins.c to - binfmt/libbuiltin/libbuiltin_utils.c - * apps/nshlib/nsh_mountcmds.c: The block driver/source - argument is now optional. Many files systems do not need - a source and it is really stupid to have to enter a bogus - source parameter. - * apps/nshlib/nsh_fileapp.c: Add the ability to execute a file - from a file system using posix_spawn(). - * apps/builtin/: Extensions from Mike Smith. - * apps/examples/ftpd/Makefile: Name ftpd_start is not the name of - the entrypoint. Should be ftpd_main (from Yan T.) - * apps/netutils/telnetd/telnetd_driver: Was stuck in a loop if - recv[from]() ever returned a value <= 0. - * apps/examples/nettest and poll: Complete Kconfig files. - * apps/examples/ostest/waitpid.c: Need to use WEXITSTATUS() - to decode the correct exit status. - * apps/system/usbmonitor: A daemon that can be used to monitor USB - trace outpout. - * apps/nshlib/nsh_usbdev.c, nsh_consolemain.c, nsh_session.c, nsh_script.c: - Add support for a login script. The init.d/rcS script will be executed - once when NSH starts; the .nshrc script will be executed for each session: - Once for serial, once for each USB connection, once for each Telnet - session. - * apps/system/readline: Correct readline() return value. Was not - any returning special values when end-of-file or read errors - occur (it would return an empty string which is not very useful). + * apps/builtin/exec_builtin.c: Now uses task_spawn() to start + builtin applications. + * Type of argv has changed from const char ** to char * const * + * apps/nshlib/nsh_parse.c: Fix memory lead: Need to detach after + creating a pthread. + * apps/examples and nshlib: Change name of _TCB to struct tcb_s to + match NuttX name change. + * apps/examples/ostest/restart.c: Add a test case to verify + task_restart(). + * apps/system/readline.c: readline() now returns EOF on any failure + (instead of a negated errno value). This is because the underlying + read is based on logic similar to getc. The value zero was being + confused with a NUL. So if a NUL was received, the NSH session + would terminate because it thought it was the end of file. -NxWidgets-1.5 2013-02-01 Gregory Nutt <gnutt@nuttx.org> +NxWidgets-1.6 2013-03-15 Gregory Nutt <gnutt@nuttx.org> - * NxWidgets::CGraphicsPort::move(): Fix typo bug in bounding rectangle - calculation (from Petteri Aimonen). - * NxWM::CScrollingPanel::scrollChildren(): Avoid unnecessary redraws in - CScrollingPanel (contributed by Petteri Aimonen). - * NxWM::CCycleButton: Remove the separator from CCycleButton. It draws in - wrong place, and doesnt look very good in the correct place either. - (from Petteri Aimonen). - * NxWidgets::CGraphicsPort: Many times we only want a constant background. - In that case the old code fills the background, reads it back, renders - the text and then writes it back. When used with LCD's (instead of - framebuffers) this causes unnecessary delay and screen flicker. - This commit adds a variant of drawText that takes background color, - so that the background and text can both be rendered at one go. - The old functions still function as before (Petteri Aimonen). - * NxWidgets::CLabel: The label was drawn as a single rectangular region, - then a text was added to the on top of this. The result is that the - text would flicker when the CLabel was updated. With this change, the - two step update is replaced with a five step update: The background - is updated as four rectangulear regions (leaving the previous text in - place), then the new text is updated. This eliminates the flicker - (Petteri Aimonen). - * Kconfig: Many NxWidgets/NxWM settings do not have meaningful, generic - default values. Colors, for example, depend on pixel depth. Some - geometry settings depending on other geometry settings. Font IDs are - not know-able by the configuration system. etc. In these cases, it - is best if the settings are just not undefined so that the system can - calculate a reasonable default. however, if no default is provided - in the .config file, mconf will complain and generate errors. So work - around this, I added several "enabling" settings to override the - default setting. This is awkward and I preferred the configuration as - it was before, but this avoids the mconf errors and warnings. - * UnitTests: Changed occurrences of lib_rawprintf() and lib_lowprintf() - to match recent changes to NuttX (will be in NuttX-6.25) - * CGraphicsPort::_drawText: Renamed from CGraphicsPort::drawText in order - to eliminate some naming collisions when overloaded in some configurations - (i.e., when both bool and nx_pixel_t are uint8_t). From Petteri Aimonen. - * CNxWidgets::drawContents: Change base drawContents from a do-nothing - function to a function that fills the widget with the background color. - This is useful when using CNxWidgets as a "panel" , i.e. a container - for other widgets. Subclasses will override drawContents and decide - themselves how to draw the background. - * CNxWidgets::CTabPanel: A new widget contributed by Petteri Aimonen. - This widget provides a tab panel, which has a button bar at the top - and panels below it. Pressing a button will select the corresponding - panel. + * Type of argv[] has changed from const char ** to char * const * + * NXWidgets::CNxWidget: Add an inline function to get the current style. + * NxWM::CTaskBar: Make a some methods of CTaskbar virtual to allow + customizations. From Petteri Aimonen. + * NXWidgets::CCycleButton: Make CCycleButton change state in onPreRelease(). + This way the new value is already available when a listener gets the + action event. From Petteri Aimonen. + * NxWidgets/tools/bitmap_converter.py: Fix bitmap_converter.py so that + it works with indexed input images. + * NxWidgets::CLabel: Fix backward conditional compilation in the + "flicker free" logic. + * NxWidgets::CNxTimer: Previously repeated timers were re-enabled after + the timer action event. Consequently, if the action event handler tried + to stop the timer, the request would be ignored. Changes the order + so that the timer is re-enabled before the callback. There is still + no risk of re-entrancy, because everything executes on the USRWORK work + queue. From Petteri Aimonen. + * NxWidgets::CMultiLineTestBox: Fix text placement error. From Petteri + Aimonen. + * NxWidgets::CWidgetControl: Added another semaphore, boundssem, which + is set as soon as the screen bounds are known. This corrects two + problems: + 1) Due to the way nxgl_rectsize computes the size, it will never + be 0,0 like CWidgetControl expects. Therefore the size is considered + valid even though it has not been set yet. + 2) After the check is fixed to test for > 1, NxWM window creation will + hang. This is due to the fact that it uses the screen bounds for + determining window size. This was being blocked on geosem, which + is only posted after the size has been set. + From Petteri Aimonen. + * NxWidgets::CImage: Two enhancements: + 1) Allow changing the bitmap even after the control has been created. + 2) Allow giving 'null' to have the control draw no image at all. + From Petteri Aimonen. + * NxWM::CTaskBar: Allow windows with null icon. This makes sense for e.g. + full screen windows. From Petteri Aimonen. + * NxWM::CApplicationWindow: Add config options to override NxWM + stop/minimize icons. From Petteri Aimonen. + * NwWM::CStartWindow, NxWM::CWindowMessenger: Get rid of the start window + thread. Instead, handle all events through the USRWORK work queue. + For me, this was necessary because I would open some files in button + handlers and close them in NxTimer handlers. If these belonged to + different tasks, the close operation would fail. Further benefits: + + Gets rid of one task and message queue. + + Reduces the amount of code required + + Decouples CStartWindow from everything else - now it is just a window + with application icons, not an integral part of the event logic. + + All events come from the same thread, which reduces the possibility of + multithreading errors in user code. + + The user code can also send events to USRWORK, so that everything gets + serialized nicely without having to use so many mutexes. + Drawbacks: + - Currently the work state structure is malloc()ed, causing one allocation + and free per each input event. Could add a memory pool for these later, but + the speed difference doesn't seem noticeable. + - The work queue will add ~50 ms latency to input events. This is however + configurable, and the delay is anyway short enough that it is unnoticeable. + From Petteri Aimonen. uClibc++-1.0 2011-11-05 <gnutt@nuttx.org> @@ -4264,31 +4055,11 @@ uClibc++-1.0 2011-11-05 <gnutt@nuttx.org> C++ library for NuttX.
