The version number of +this release was bumped from 5.19 to 6.0. A change in the major revision +number is used to reflect an incompatibility with previous versions. In +this release, the NuttX core OS functionality has been separated from NuttX +application-related functionality. These are provided as separate tarballs: + + * nuttx-6.0.tar.gz, and + * apps-6.0.tar.gz + +The purpose of this separation is both to better organize and modularize the +NuttX source tree, but also to provide better support for incorporation of +end-user applications with Nuttx. + +The incompatibily results from the changes to the board configuration logic +needed to supported the separable application. The major changes to the +configuration include: + + * CONFIG_APPS_DIR - This should not be set. The default is ../apps. This + should only be set if you have a custom, product-specific application + directory in some different location. + + * appconfig - Each board configuration now requires a new file called + 'appconfig.' As its name suggests, this file provides new configuration + information needed by the logic in ../apps. + +In addition to this major reorganization in the directory structure, this +release also includes some important extensions to existing features and some +important bugfixes. These include: + + * The SLIP driver was been well debugged and significantly re-designed. + Now you can have an Ethernet connection to you board even if you have + no Ethernet hardware. How cool is that? + + * The QEMU i486 port is now functional. It has also been reported to + work on the Bifferboard (see http://bifferos.bizhat.com/). + + * And extensions to the uIP driver interface, and + + * Bug fixes to fopen() and STM32 GPIO configuration + +Please see the ChangeLog for details. + |
