NuttX-6.0
|
||
|
|
---------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The 67th release of NuttX, Version 6.0, was made on March 21, 2011
|
||
|
|
and is available for download from the SourceForge website. 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 incompatibility 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
