In the 0.3.x + versions, network support was added, Pascal P-code runtime support was added, FAT and + ROMFS filesystems were added, MMC/SD and USB device support were added. There were + also numerous extensions to the NuttShell, NuttX APIs, and architecture ports. </p> - <li>Fixed an important bug in the TCP/IP buffering logic. - When TCP/IP read-ahead is enabled and not recv() is in-place when a TCP/IP packet is received, - the packet is placed into a read-ahead buffer. - However, the old contents of the read-ahead buffer were not being cleared and old data would - contaminate the newly received buffer. - </li> - <li>Changed the behavior of the serial driver read. - It now returns data as it is available rather than waiting for the full requested read size. - This makes functions like <code>fgetc()</code> work much more smoothly. - </li> <p> - These changes were verified only on the Neuros OSD (ARM) and the Linux simulator using a - Linux development environment. + These changes were verified only on the NuttX simulation platform with X11 windows + simulating a device framebuffer.

The size of the backlog is specified by the - second argument of the standard listen() API. Hooks are provided to support poll()/select() - waiting for connections, with a subsequent call to accept() to use the backlogged connection. - * Fixed a minor bug in accept().
