NuttX-6.16
|
||
|
|
----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The 83rd release of NuttX, Version 6.16, was made on March 10, 2012,
|
||
|
|
and is available for download from the SourceForge website. Note
|
||
|
|
that release consists of two tarballs: nuttx-6.16.tar.gz and
|
||
|
|
apps-6.16.tar.gz. Both may be needed (see the top-level nuttx/README.txt
|
||
|
|
file for build information).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This release corresponds with SVN release number: r4475
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
New features and extended functionality:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ARMv7M Support: Includes new, streamlined Cortex-M exception
|
||
|
|
handling provided by Mike Smith. Context switching support for the
|
||
|
|
Cortex-M4 FPU registers is now provided (in both "lazy" and "non-lazy"
|
||
|
|
modes)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* General Drivers: Added a generic "upper half" Quadrature Encoder driver.
|
||
|
|
The USB CDC/ACM serial driver can now be dynamically connected or
|
||
|
|
disconnected from the host (programmatically or using NSH commands).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* STM32 Drivers: Added a "lower half" Quadrature Encoder driver.
|
||
|
|
Verified the STM32 F4 DMA driver; Added F4 DMA support to the existing
|
||
|
|
STM32 SDIO driver.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* STM32 Board Support. Added support for the STM32 F2 family and
|
||
|
|
for the STM3220G-EVAL board (contributed by Gary Teravskis).
|
||
|
|
Support is now included for C++ static constructors (verified using
|
||
|
|
the Atollic toolchain). Added support for the SRAM available on the
|
||
|
|
STM3240G-EVAL board.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* PIC32 Drivers. PIC32MX USB (device) driver is now functional.
|
||
|
|
The PIC32MX Ethernet driver not yet fully verified (and an
|
||
|
|
unverified SPI driver is also available).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Networking. Added a lower-level, thread-independent socket layer.
|
||
|
|
Parts of this layer were created in 6.15 to support the FTPD
|
||
|
|
controlling terminal; this support has been extended in order
|
||
|
|
to support an NFS file system (not yet released).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* NuttShell (NSH). NSH will now support a USB serial connection for
|
||
|
|
the console (such as CDC/ACM). This is useful in environments
|
||
|
|
where there is no physical serial port on the board.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Build System. Reorgnaization of networking header files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Critical Bugfixes. The following bug fixes are considered critical:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Networking: Fixed a "leak" in the TCP/IP read-ahead buffering logic.
|
||
|
|
Corrected an error in TCP/IP sequence numbering/ACK logic which
|
||
|
|
occurred when read-ahead buffering memory is exhausted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* STM32 Drivers: Fixed an buffer sizing error in the STM32 Ethernet
|
||
|
|
driver.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additional Bugfixes: Other important bug fixes are listed below. See
|
||
|
|
the ChangeLog of a complete, detailed list of bug fixes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Networking: Corrected recv()/recvfrom() return value. Added logic to
|
||
|
|
monitor for loss of connection after a new connection has been
|
||
|
|
established via accept() (Contributed by Max Nekludov). Add
|
||
|
|
logic to select() to correctly handle POLLHUP (Contributed by Max
|
||
|
|
Nekludov)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additional bugfixes, name changes, and other differences as detailed in the
|
||
|
|
ChangeLog.
