NuttX-6.9
|
||
|
|
---------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The 76th release of NuttX, Version 6.9, was made on September 11, 2011
|
||
|
|
and is available for download from the SourceForge website. Note
|
||
|
|
that release consists of two tarballs: nuttx-6.9.tar.gz and
|
||
|
|
apps-6.9.tar.gz. Both may be needed (see the top-level nuttx/README.txt
|
||
|
|
file for build information).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This release includes a few new features and several important bug fixes.
|
||
|
|
The new features (some still incomplete) include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Analog Support/ NXP LPC17xx: New DAC sub-system including ADC and DAC
|
||
|
|
drivers for the LPC17xx. Extensions to the ADS1255 driver.

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Power Management: Added a new NuttX power management sub-system for
|
||
|
|
controlling and coordinating reduced power states. At present, only
|
||
|
|
verified in a simulation environment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* I2C Test Tool: A new application was added that can be used to
|
||
|
|
verify and debug I2C interfaces from the NuttShell (NSH) command
|
||
|
|
line.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* NuttShell (NSH): In addition to the I2C test tool, a date command
|
||
|
|
is now supported (if CONFIG_RTC is defined) that can be used to
|
||
|
|
read and set the RTC.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* NXP LPC17xx: I2C and DAC driver for the NXP LPC17xx family submitted by Li Zhuoyi
|
||
|
|
(Lzyy)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Kinetis Cortex-M4: Added a SDHC driver for the Kinetis parts.
|
||
|
|
Complete debug of the Kinetis SDHC driver was not completed, however,
|
||
|
|
do to some higher priority tasks that forced me to stop work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Other new drivers: Driver for I2C-based at24cxx EEPROM submitted by
|
||
|
|
Li Zhuoyi (Lzyy); Driver for the LM-75 temperature sensor. Support
|
||
|
|
for the LM-75 temperature sensor integrated into the SM3210E-EVAL
|
||
|
|
development board.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* NuttX Graphics (NX): Added new NX interfaces for drawing circles,
|
||
|
|
both circle outlines and filled circles.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* FLASH: Added a function that accepts the path to a block driver and
|
||
|
|
then erases the underlying FLASH memory
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Build System: The Make export logic now also tries to track down all
|
||
|
|
architecture-specific header files and include these in the NuttX
|
||
|
|
export bundle as well. Various changes and modifications so that
|
||
|
|
NuttX wil build on FreeBSD using the ASH shell (submitted by Kurt Lidl).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Bugfixes, order roughly on decreasing criticality include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* STM32 I2C Driver: Add resets, timeout, and other fixes to work
|
||
|
|
reliably with the I2C tool. Corrected a major error introduced in
|
||
|
|
NuttX 6.8.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* BCH Driver. Several important bugs (noted by Li Zhuoyi (Lzyy))
|
||
|
|
were fixed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* C Library: Fixed errors in gmtime() and gmtime_r() that could lead to
|
||
|
|
errors in date calculations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Timing: Correct an error in the tv_nsec calculation that happens
|
||
|
|
only config CONFIG_RTC is enabled
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Build System: Use of -print-libgcc-file-name to get path to
|
||
|
|
libgcc.a might select the wrong libgcc.a if a multilib toolchain
|
||
|
|
is used
