NuttX-6.19
|
||
|
|
----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The 86th release of NuttX, Version 6.19, was made on June 15, 2012,
|
||
|
|
and is available for download from the SourceForge website. Note
|
||
|
|
that release consists of two tarballs: nuttx-6.19.tar.gz and
|
||
|
|
apps-6.19.tar.gz. Both may be needed (see the top-level nuttx/README.txt
|
||
|
|
file for build information).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This release corresponds with SVN release number: r4847
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This release features new support for a Network File System (NFS) client.
|
||
|
|
This feature allows a tiny, embedded MCU to mount a remote file system
|
||
|
|
exported by an NFS server and then to access the file system as it would
|
||
|
|
any local file system. Then the tiny MCU can effectively have terabytes
|
||
|
|
of storage!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This might be useful for data collection, for MCU configuration information,
|
||
|
|
for software updates, for providing modular, loadable code modes, controlling
|
||
|
|
a "farm" of MCUs, ... there are many possibilities and opportunities for
|
||
|
|
innovation!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The NuttShell (NSH) now supports the following command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
nfsmount <server-address> <mount-point> <remote-path>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That command will mount the remote NFS server directory <remote-path> at
|
||
|
|
<mount-point> on the target machine. <server-address> is the IP address of
|
||
|
|
the remote server.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The NFS development was the graduation project of Jose Pablo Rojas V. who
|
||
|
|
is a student at the Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica (ITCR, or TEC).
|
||
|
|
A lot of effort went into understanding what a tiny, embedded NFS client should
|
||
|
|
do and getting the target resource usage to a bare minimum. Only around a
|
||
|
|
kilobyte or so of memory is required to run the NFS client (and most of that
|
||
|
|
for I/O buffers). Jose Pablo has spent several months living with NFS and
|
||
|
|
should be congratulated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additional new features and extended functionality:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Drivers: SSD1289 LCD driver, MIO283QT2 LCD driver
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* LM3S: Additional register definition header files (contributed by Max
|
||
|
|
Neklyudov).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* STM32 Boards: The STM32F4Discovery will now support an SSD1289 LCD,
|
||
|
|
The STM3220G-EVAL board support is now equivalent to the STM3240G-EVAL
|
||
|
|
board support.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* PIC32 Boards: The Mikroelektronika PIC32MX7 MMB board port is now
|
||
|
|
functional, very complete, and stable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Graphics: The NxConsole will now take keyboard input from the NX graphics
|
||
|
|
subsystem. This means that if there are multiple NxConsole windows, only
|
||
|
|
the top instance that has focus will receive the keyboard input.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* apps/: Add the capability to use an arbitrary USB device as the console
|
||
|
|
(not necessarily /dev/console). Additional enhancements for USB consoles.
|
||
|
|
Added the 'mv' command.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Work in progress. This release includes some partially completed
|
||
|
|
work that is still not ready for prime time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Automated Configuration. Automated configuration based on the
|
||
|
|
kconfig-frontends tool is being incorporated into the build
|
||
|
|
system. The configuration is still not complete enough for
|
||
|
|
general use in this release.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* STM32 Drivers. Added files that will (eventually) hold an STM32
|
||
|
|
OTG FS host driver. This is still a work in progress.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Bugfixes (see the change log for details) :
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* General: sleep() and usleep() return values, sig_timedwait() errno setting
|
||
|
|
on timeout.
|
||
|
|
* Drivers: STMPE811 touchscreen driver, USB PLC2303, USB CDC/ACM
|
||
|
|
* STM32: Several USB device controller driver fixes, F4 interrupt priorities
|
||
|
|
(contributed by Mike Smith).
|
||
|
|
* Graphics: Keyboard input, fill trapezoid bug
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

As well as other, less critical bugs (see the ChangeLog for details)
