nuttx-0.3.18.
+ The 30th release of NuttX (nuttx-0.3.18) is available for download
from the SourceForge
website.
The change log associated with the release is available here.
Unreleased changes after this release are available in CVS.
These unreleased changes are listed here.
-MMC/SD and USB Mass Storage Support.
- The nuttx-0.3.17 release includes additional support for USB in NuttX.
- The following new features were added:
+
+ This release includes two partially completed ports, several new features, and a
+ couple of important bug fixes. The two partially completed ports are:
- - Added support for SPI-based MMC/SD cards (with an SPI driver for the NXP LPC214x).
- - Added USB storage class device side driver (BBB)
- - Added an example that demonstrates the USB storage class by exporting the SPI based MMC/SD card on the NXP LPC214x.
+ - The STMicro STR71x processor and configuration for the Olimex STR-P711 board, and
+ - The Hitachi SH-1 using the SH1_LCEVB1 (SH-1/US7032EVB1) board.
- This is an early alpha release of these drivers.
- A known problem is that the storage driver does not work properly with WinXP when debug features are disabled.
-
-Bugs Fixed
- Several important bugs were also fixed in the FAT file system, USB serial driver and
- NXP LPC214x USB controller driver (see the current ChangeLog for details).
+ Progress on these ports is stalled (as detailed in the ChangeLog).
- These changes were verified only on the mcu123.com NXP LPC2148 board using a Linux development environment.
- USB testing was performed using both a Linux host and a WinXP host.
- As usual, any feedback about bugs or suggestions for improvement would be greatly appreciated.
+ The new features focus primarily on management of block devices and extensions of
+ the NuttShell (NSH). These new features include:
+
+ - A loop device that converts a file into a block device,
+ - A block to character (BCH) driver that allow access a block device as if it were character device,
+ - Added strcasecmp() and strncasecmp() libc functions, and
+ - Added the 'dd' and 'losetup' commands to NSH. These commands (along with mkfatfs and mount),
+ give good managment of filesystems on the target.
+
+
+
+ Several bugs were fixed, the most important of which are:
+
+ - Fixd a race condition workaround delay in LPC214X SPI logic. This was also
+ the cause of some bad MMC/SD performance on that platform.
+ - Fixed a recently introduced FAT file system problem: It would mount a (invalid)
+ FAT file system even if the medium is not formatted!
+ - Corrected two iother important errors in the FAT lseek implementation:
+ (1) the sectors-per-cluster value was being reset to "1" and (2) important
+ lseek logic was omitted when the seek position was zero.
+
+
+
+ The FAT filesystem has had many bugs fixed in it and, I think, is now maturing
+ and becoming stable.
+
+
+ These changes were verified only on the mcu123.com NXP LPC2148 board, the Hitachi
+ SH1_LCEVB1 board, and the Linux simulator, all using a Linux development environment.
+ Please report any errors to me.

- * Incorporate patch "[2164503] nuttx-0.3.16 does not build for ARM with USB disabled"
- * Reduced the amount of memory reserved for USB serial control requests. It
- was unnecessarily large.
- * Added LPC214x SPI1 driver to interface with MMC on mcu123.com board.
- * Added a simple SPI-based MMC/SD block driver
- * NSH: Add LPC214x-specific support to NSH; NSH now mounts any SD cards in the slot.
- * FAT: Fix access to unaligned 32-bit values in partion table (start sector & size)
- * Fixed a problem with a un-initialized variable in the USB serial driver.
- * Added USB storage NXP LPC214x configuration
- * Added a test for USB storage under examples/usbstorage
- * Fixed a bug in the LPC214x USB driver: It was not properly clearing a HALTed
- endpoints (other than EP) on receipt of CLEAR FEATURES request.
- * Added USB storage class device side driver (BBB)
- * Fixed a bug in the LPC214x USB driver: It was not properly handling request buffers
- larger then the endpoint's max packet (DM320 driver also fixed, untested)
- * Added logic to the USB device interface: A bit is needed to force the driver to
- to terminate an IN transfer with a short packet (zero-length if necessary).
- * Fix an error in the NXP LPC214x USB device driver that was causing corruption of
- the request queue (M320 driver also fixed, untested)
- * Correct another error in the NXP LPC214x USB device driver that caused read failures
- when the request buffer size was larger than maxpacket.
- * Numerous corrections/extensions to the USB tracing logic included in 0.3.16 (but
- not integrated until 0.3.17)
- * Fixed another bug in the NXP LPC214x USB device driver: After a stalled endpoint
- is resumed (view CLEAR FEATURE), we must restart the IN (outgoing) queue.
