+ New or extended features in this release include:
- - Drivers.
- The upper-half PWM driver will now support a pulse count (as
- would be needed to control a stepper motor).
-
- - STM32.
- The CAN driver has been verified in loopback mode. ADC driver
- support for the STM32 F4. Add support for UART4-5 and USART6
- (Contributed by Mike Smith). The PWM driver now supports a pulse
- count for TIM1 and TIM8. Timer driver now supports the F4's 32-bit
- timers (Contributed by Mikhail Bychek)
+
- Genernal Drivers.
+ Added support for (29-bit) extended CAN IDs.
+ Added an infrastructure to support battery drivers.
+ Added a driver for MAX17040x battery "fuel gauge."
+ Add support for Composite USB drivers (in particular for a CDC/ACM with MSC USB composite driver).
- - STM32F4Discovery.
- Support for the STM32F4-Discovery board contributed
- by Mike Smith.
-
- - STM3240G-EVAL.
- Add support for user control of LEDs.
-
- - LPC17xx.
- Add support for loopback mode to CAN driver. CAN TX done
- perations are now interrupt driver. Now supports configurable CAN bit
- rate.
+
+ Added a new RAM logging driver.
+ This will allow debug output into a RAM buffer associated with a character driver at /dev/syslog
.
+ Added the new command dmesg
to NSH that can be used to dump the current contents of the log.
+ This is useful for systems that do not have the usual serial console (for example, if you only have a Telnet console with NSH).
+
- Networking.
+ Added a lower level, primitive socket interface. Added a new Telnet driver:
- - LPC1766-STK.
- Add support for on-board buttons. Add support for user
- control of LEDs.
+
+ A New Telnet daemon was created.
+ It wraps a Telnet session within a character driver that can serve as a "controlling terminal."
+ The Telnet session will then be inherited by tasks created from the Telnet session and the stdin
/stdout
from the created task will still go through the same Telnet connection.
+
+ - STM32 Drivers.
+ PWM driver pulse count was limited to 128; now is (essentially) unlimited.
+ Added support for (29-bit) extended CAN IDs.
+ Add support for I2C3.
+ The SDIO driver is (mostly) verified on the STM32 F4 platforms.
- - LM3S.
- Add support for the LM3S6432S2E on the TI RDK-S2E (Contributed
- by Mike Smith)
+
- LPC17xx Drivers.
+ Extended the CAN driver so that the TSEG1 and TSEG2 bit times can be set via the NuttX configuration.
+ Add support for (29-bit) extended CAN IDs.
- PIC32MX.
- USB device-side driver (needs further testing). A partial
- Ethernet driver is also in place.
+ The PIC32 Ethernet driver is code complete (but still untested).
+
+ - FTPD.
+ Added a new FTP server daemon.
+ This is based loosely on the hwport_ftpd library provided by Jaehyuk Cho.
- Library.
- Support added for fixed floating point fieldwidths in output
- formatting (Contributed by Mikhail Bychek)
+ Add support for
on_exit()
.
+ Implemented tcsetattr()
and tcgetattr()
.
+ Moved the old, too-smart fgets()
to a new application library function called readline()
.
+ Dumbed down the original fgets()
.
+ Add strcasestr()
, avsprintf()
, inet_ntop()
, and inet_pton()
.
+ Add support to enable or disable debug output.
- - Build.
- New targets apps_clean and apps_distclean to simplify working
- with application diretories.
+
- Build System.
+ Support for building a 32-bit simulation executable on a 64-bit Linux machine.
+ Correct a dependency issue in the
arch/*/src/board
directory (from Mike Smith).
Bugfixes include:
- - Drivers.
- Fixed a buffer-full test in the upper-half CAN driver.
+
- System.
+ Correct
PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER
.
+
+ - FAT.
+ Fix an error in the FAT
statfs()
reported by David Sidrane.
- STM32.

- debug logic that dumps the GPIO configuration.
+ Fix clock frequencies for APB2 timers.
+ Correct an AFIO register offset.
- - LPC17xxx.

- (prevented pins > 15 from being used as interrupt sources). Correct
- a value used in GPIO interrupt number range test.
+
- PIC32.
+ Correct GPIOs used for LEDs on the Sure PIC32MX board.
