Note +that release consists of two tarballs: nuttx-6.22.tar.gz and +apps-6.22.tar.gz. Both may be needed (see the top-level nuttx/README.txt +file for build information). + +This release corresponds with SVN release number: r5206 + +Note that all SVN information has been stripped from the tarballs. If you +need the SVN configuration, you should check out directly from SVN. Revision +r5206 should equivalent to release 6.22 of NuttX 6.22: + + svn checkout -r5206 svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/nuttx/code/trunk nuttx-code + +Or + + svn checkout -r5206 http://svn.code.sf.net/p/nuttx/code/trunk nuttx-code + +Additional new features and extended functionality: + + * RTOS: Application entry point is no longer user_start, but can be + configured using CONFIG_USER_ENTRYPOINT. NuttX now supports two work + queues: A lower priority work queue (for extended processing) and a + higher priority work queue (for quick, high priority operations). + + * Memory Management: Added a new granule-based allocated that can be + used to manage, aligned and quantized DMA memory. + + * File System: Add hooks to allocate I/O memory with and external + allocated (need if required by DMA). + + * Networking: ENC28J60 driver is (finally) verified. + + * Drivers: Add hooks USB device drivers to allocate I/O memory with and + external allocated (need if required by DMA). Driver for the Windbond + SPI FLASH family (W25x16, W25x32, W25x64, and others). ADS7843E driver + extended for TSC2046 and XPT2046 and verified. + + * ARMv7-M: Added logic to reset the MCU using the NVIC. + + * STM32: Add support for STM32F103VET6. + + * STM32 Drivers: Add logic to re-initialize UARTs a second time to + enable DMA (Mike Smith). I2C driver error recovery (Mike Smith). + + * STM32 boards: Support for USB host added add to several configurations + (or at least explained in README files). Support for the Shenzhou + STM32F107 board (see www.armjishu.com). Support for M3 Wildfire + STM32F103 board (v2 and v3). + + * Build System: Kconfig string de-quoting logic. Remove comments from + defconfig files (Kate). Add tool to create NuttX-style symbol tables. + Numerous changes to configuration logic as needed for the new mconf-based + configuration (much of this from Richard Cochran). Refactor common + Make.defs logic into tools/Config.mk (Richard Cochran). + + * Library: Configurable terse output from strerror(). Added perror() (Kate). + Add %n format to sscanf() (Kate). + + * Applications: Numerous changes and extensions to the old uIP web server + (from Kate and Max Holtzberg, see the ChangeLog for specific extensions). + UDP network discovery utility (Max Holtzberg). Embeddable Lightweight + XML-RPC Server (http://www.drdobbs.com/web-development/an-embeddable-lightweight-xml-rpc-server/184405364, Max Holtzberg). + +Bugfixes (see the change log for details). Some of these are very important +(marked *critical*): + + * RTOS: Fixes to priority inheritance logic (*critical*). waitpid() + critical section. Assertion in work_cancel() (Mike Smith). mmap() (Kate). + + * FAT File System: Improper Boolean expression caused un-necessary writes + and performance issues (*critical*, Ronen Vainish). + + * Networking: Remove an un-necessary delay from recvfrom(). This greatly + improves network performance (*critical*, Max Holtzberg). + + * Graphics: NX parameter checking errors. + + * Drivers: Fix double release of memory in SDIO-based, MMC/SD driver + (Ronen Vainish). + + * LPC17xx: Ethernet driver fixes needed for certain PHYs (Kate). + + * AVR: Fix build error (Richard Cochran). + + * STM32: USB OTG FS host driver NAKing an retries. Power management + compilation errors (Diego Sanchez). Missing SPI3 remap logic. + + * STM32 Drivers: Fix for Ethernet errata for STM32F107 (*critical*). + Ethernet buffer alignment check. Add "kludge" to Ethernet driver to + handle DM9161 PHY which (at least on the Shenzhou board), sometimes + does not come up correctly. + + * Applications: THTTPD (Kate). NSH ping when IP address is on a different + network (Darcy Gong). + + * Library: fread(), fflush(), fdopen(): Fix error handling logic (Ronen + Vainish). Fix some field-width handling issues in sscanf() + +As well as other, less critical bugs (see the ChangeLog for details) -- cgit v1.2.3
