Changes in this release are summarized below:
This release includes a few new features and several important bug fixes.
The new features (some still incomplete) include:
</p>
<ul>
<li><b>FreeScale Kinetis Support</b>.
NuttX has been ported to run on the FreeScale Cortex-M4 &quot;Kinetis&quot; boards.
Two board ports are available for (1) the Kinetis KwikStik-K40 and
(2) the Kinetis TWR-K60N512 tower.
<li><b>Analog Support/ NXP LPC17xx</b>:
New DAC sub-system including ADC and DAC drivers for the LPC17xx.
Extensions to the ADS1255 driver. (Contributed by Li Zhuoyi (Lzyy))
</li>
<li><b>RGMP 0.3</b>.
Support for RGMP 0.3. This version of RGMP now runs on the OMAP4430 (arm)
pandaboard
<li><b>Power Management</b>:
Added a new NuttX power management sub-system for controlling and coordinating reduced power states.
At present, only verified in a simulation environment.
</li>
<li><b>LPC17xx CAN driver</b>.
LPC17xx CAN driver extended to support both CAN1 and CAN2 (submitted by
Li Zhuoy (Lzzy)). A Semaphore overflow problem was also corrected in the
CAN driver (reported by Li Zhouy (Lzzy)).
<li><b>I2C Test Tool</b>:
A new application was added that can be used to verify and debug I2C interfaces from the NuttShell (NSH) command line.
</li>
<li><b>Signal-related bugfixes</b>.
Fixed several critical bugs related to signal handling initialization and
for signals the wake up tasks that are waiting to send or receive message
queues.Both are important (submitted by hkwilton).
<li><b>NuttShell (NSH)</b>:
In addition to the I2C test tool, a <code>date</code> command is now supported (if <code>CONFIG_RTC</code> is defined) that can be used to read and set the RTC.
</li>
<li><b>ADC Infrastructure</b>.
Added a new ADC driver infrastructure and TI ADS1255 driver both
developed and submitted by Li Zhouy (Lzzy)).
<li><b>NXP LPC17xx</b>:
I2C and DAC drivers for the NXP LPC17xx family submitted by Li Zhuoyi (Lzyy)
</li>
<li><b>Kinetis Cortex-M4</b>:

</li>
<li><b>Other new drivers</b>:
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 STMicro STM3210E-EVAL development board.
</li>
<li><b>NuttX Graphics (NX)</b>:
Added new NX interfaces for drawing circles, both circle outlines and filled circles.
</li>
<li><b>FLASH</b>:
Added a function that accepts the path to a block driver and then erases the underlying FLASH memory
</li>
<li><b>Build System</b>:
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).
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Bugfixes, order roughly on decreasing criticality include:
</p>
<ul>
</li>
<li><b>STM32 I2C Driver</b>:
Add resets, timeout, and other fixes to work reliably with the I2C tool.
Corrected a major error introduced in NuttX 6.8.

nuttx-6.9 2011-09-11 Gregory Nutt &lt;spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr&gt;
* arch/arm/src/lpc17xx/chip.h: Fix some chip memory configuration errors
for the LPC1764, LPC1756, and LPC1754 (submitted by Li Zhuoy (Lzzy))
* arch/arm/src/lpc17xx/lpc17_can.h: Revised CAN driver submitted by
Li Zhuoy (Lzzy). The driver now supports both CAN1 and CAN2.
* arch/arm/sim/up_lcd.c: Add a simulated LCD driver.
* configs/stm3210e-eval/nxlines: Added a configuration to build
examples/nxlines.
* arch/graphics: Used apps/examples/nxlines to (finally) verify the NX
trapezoid drawing functions and (wide) line drawing functions.
* arch/rgmp and configs/rgmp. Yu Qiang has ported RGMP to the OMAP4430 (arm)
pandaboard and release the new RGMP 0.3 version. The main changes are: (1)
Separate configs/rgmp/x86 and configs/rgmp/arm configuration directory, and
(2) Extract architecture dependent code in arch/rgmp/include and
arch/rgmp/src into corresponding x86/ and arm/ directories.
* arch/arm/src/kinetis, arch/arm/include/kinetis, configs/kwikstik-k40:
Add a directory structure to support the port to the Kinetis KwikStik-K40.
There is no real substance in the initial check-in; only the directory
structure and skeleton files (Code complete on 8/15/11).
* arch/arm/include/armv7-m, arch/arm/src/armv7-m, etc.: Rename all cortexm3
directories and files to armv7-m; Change name of of all CORTEXM3 constants
to ARMV7M. This is a major namespace change needed to cleanly support the
ARM Cortex-M4 which is also in the ARMv7 M Series (specifically, ARMv7E-M).
* sched/sig_initialize.c, sig_received.c, and mq_waitirq.c. Fixed several
critical bugs related to signal handling initialization and for signals
the wake up tasks that are waiting to send or receive message queues. In
the first two files, errors would prevent proper allocation of signal-related
structures from interrupt handlers. In the second, there was missing
&quot;clean-up&quot; logic after a signal occurred, leaving the message queue in
a bad state and resulting in PANICs. All are important. (submitted by
hkwilton).
* arch/arm/src/kinetis: Added header files defining all Kinetis registers
and bit fields within all Kinetis registers.
* configs/twr-k60n512: Add support for the Kinetis K60 Tower board
(TWR-K60N512).
* drivers/can.c: Fixe a semaphore overflow problem in the CAN driver
(reported by Li Zhouy (Lzzy)).
* 8/18/2011: The basic port to the FreeScale Kinetics TWR-K60N512 board is
now functional.
* confgs/twr-k60n512: Add Kinetics TWR-K60N512 NSH configuration.
* drivers/analog and include/nuttx/analog: Add ADC driver infrastructure
and TI ADS1255 driver developed and submitted by Li Zhouy (Lzzy)).
* arch/arm/stm32/stm32_sdio.h and drivers/mmcsd/mmcsd.c: Add logic to
multiplex usage of the GPIO pins (contributed by Uros Platise).
* configs/twr-k60n512/nsh: Added and verified a NuttShell (NSH)
configuration for the Freescale, Kinetis TWR-K60N512 board.
* arch/arm/src/kinetis/kinetis_sdhc.c: SDHC driver for Kinetis parts.
Initially check-in is just a crude port of the STM32 SDIO driver.
Much more work is needed.
* graphics/, include/nuttx/nx: Add new NX interfaces for drawing
circles -- both circular outlines and filled circles.
* graphic/nxglib/nxglib_spitline.c: Add a &quot;fudge factor&quot; that eliminates
some problems for rendering nearly horizontal, wide lines. Hmm...
but I suspect this fudge factor also leads to new problems rendering
very thin, nearly horizontal lines. More tuning is needed.
* drivers/analog, include/nuttx/analog, arch/arch/src/lpcxx: (1) Add
updates to the ADS1255 driver, (2) fix errors from my last merge (sorry),
(3) Add DAC infrastructure, (4) add AD5410 DAC driver, and (5) add
LPC17xx ADC and DAC drivers. All contributed by Li Zhuoyi (Lzyy).
* tools/mkexport.sh: Extended the script that implements the top-level
'make export' logic. The script now also finds and bundles up all of
the architecture-specific header files as well.
* drivers/arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_i2c.c: Add a reset to the I2C
initialization logic to prevent spurious interrupts when the I2C
interrupts are enabled (submitted by Uros Platise).
* Scripts/makefiles/documents. Several adjustments, corrections and
typo fixes so that NuttX will build correctly on FreeBSD using the
ASH shell (submitted by Kurt Lidl).
* drivers/mtd/flash_eraseall.c: Add a callable function that accepts
the path to a block driver and then erases the underlying FLASH memory
(assuming that the block driver is an MTD driver wrapped in the FTL
layer). Hmmm... this is probably not the best long term solution;
flash_eraseall() should be a user-callable function that operates
one driver interfaces; not an internal, OS function that operates
on directly on block drivers.
* drivers/bch: Fixed some important bugs in the BCH driver (noted by
Li Zhuoyi (Lzyy)). This would have effected any large reads or writes
(larger than the hardware sector size).
* arch/*/src/Makefile: Use of -print-libgcc-file-name to get path to
libgcc.a may select the wrong libgcc.a if a multilib toolchain (like
CodeSourcery) is used. This can be a serious problem and can cause
crashes on Cortex-M3 if the ARM libgcc is used, for example. The fix
is to include ARCHCPUFLAGS on the gcc command line when asking it to
-print-libgcc-file-name.
* lib/time/lib_gmtimer.c: Correct several calculations that could lead
to errors in dates.
* drivers/pm: Add the beginnings of a NuttX power management sub-system.
* arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_irq.c: Fix a error introduced in 6.8.
Timeout calculation uses clock_settime() instead of clock_gettime().
Pretty gross error, but actually it works with the side effect of setting
a bad time.
* drivers/mtd/at24xx.c: Driver for I2C-based at24cxx EEPROM submitted by
Li Zhuoyi (Lzyy).
* arch/arm/src/lpc17xx/lpc17_i2c.c: I2C driver for the NXP LPC17xx family
submitted by Li Zhuoyi (Lzyy)
* arch/arm/src/stm32_i2c.c: Correct two issues with the STM32 I2C driver:
(1) Clocking needs to be based on PCLK1, not HCLK and fast speed settings
need some additional bits; and (2) Correct a hang that will occur on
I2C1 if FSMC is also enabled.
* drivers/sensors/lm75.c and include/nuttx/sensors/lm75.h: Add an LM-75
temperature sensor driver.
* configs/stm3210e-eval/src/up_lm75.c: Add support for the LM-75 on the
STMicro STM3210E-EVAL board.
* sched/clock_gettime.c: Correct an error in the tv_nsec calculation
that happens only config CONFIG_RTC is enabled.
* arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_i2c.c: Correct some bugs related to waiting
to the I2C STOP condition to be cleared.

apps-6.9 2011-09-11 Gregory Nutt &lt;spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr&gt;
* apps/examples/nxlines: Added a test for NX line drawing capabilities.
* apps/examples/nxlines: Extend the line drawing text to include drawing
of circles.
* apps/system/i2c: Add an I2C test tool that should help to bring up I2C
devices (when it is fully functional).
* apps/nshlib/nsh_timcmds.c: Add the date command that can be used to
show or set the time (only if CONFIG_RTC is set).
