Note +that release consists of two tarballs: nuttx-7.18.tar.gz and +apps-7.18.tar.gz. These are available from: + + https://bitbucket.org/nuttx/nuttx/downloads + https://bitbucket.org/nuttx/apps/downloads + +Both may be needed (see the top-level nuttx/README.txt file for build +information). + +Additional new features and extended functionality: + + * Core OS: + + - Add standard adjtime() interface and basic timekeeping support. + Normally used with an NTP client to keep system time in + synchronization. From Max Neklyudov. + - Use the oneshot timer with optional entropy to measure CPU load if + so configured. + + * File System and Block and MTD Drivers: + + - Add Fujistu MB85RS256B ramtron support. From Beat Küng. + - SPI-based MTD driver for Macronix MX25L3233F or MX25L6433F. From + Aleksandr Vyhovanec. + + * Graphics/Display Drivers: + + - SH1106 0.96 OLED module support (SSD1306 compatible) + I2C fixes. + From v01d (phreakuencies). + + * Sensor Drivers: + + - Add KXJT9 Accelerometer driver from the Motorola Moto Z MDK. + - Add MFRC522 RFID ISO14443 and Mifare transceiver driver. From Alan + Carvalho de Assis. + - Add driver for the LIS3MDL 3 axis magnetometer. From Alexander + Entinger. + - Add driver for the MLX90393 3 axis magnetometer. From Alexander + Entinger. + - Add driver for the LIS3DSH 3 axis accelerometer. From Alexander + Entinger. + - Add driver for the Bosch BMG160 3 axis gyroscope. From Alexander + Entinger. + - Add support for the Sensixs XEN1210 3D-board. This sensor is used + on NANOSATC-BR2 a Brazillian CUBESAT project. From Alan Carvalho + de Assis. + - Add a new ioctl command (set MAXPOS) for Tiva QEI. From Young. + + * Other Common Device Drivers: + + - I/O Expander: Remove hard-coded PCA9555 fields from ioexpander.h + definitons. Add support for an attach() method that may be used + when any subset of pin interrupts occur. + - I/O Expander Interface: Encode and extend I/O expander options to + include interrupt configuration. + - PCA9555 Driver: Replace the signalling logic with a simple callback + using the new definitons of ioexpander.h. This repartitioning of + functionality is necessary because (1) the I/O expander driver is + the lower-lower part of any driver that uses GPIOs (include the GPIO + driver itself) and should not be interacting directly with the much + higher level application layer. And (2) in order to be compatible + with the GPIO driver (and any arbitrary upper half driver), the + PCA9555 should not directly signal, but should call back into the + upper half. The upper half driver that interacts directly with the + application is the appropriate place to be generating signal. + - Add a skeleton I/O Expander driver (based on the PCA9555 driver). + - Add PCF8574 I/O Expander driver. + - GPIO driver: Add IOCTLs to get the pin type and to unregister a + signal handler. + - Add a GPIO lower-half driver that can be used to register a GPIO + character driver for accessing pins on an I/O expander. + - Add an SPI helper function that encapsulates and manages a sequence + of SPI transfers. + - Add an SPI character driver that will permit access to the SPI bus + for testing purposes. + - Add oneshot timer lower half interface definition. + - Add an upper-half, oneshot timer character driver. + - Add Audio Tone Generator for NuttX. From Alan Carvalho de Assis. + - Add USB host support for composite devices. This feature is not + well tested. + - drivers/ioexpander: Add an (untested) TCA64XX I/O Expander driver + leveraged from Project Ara. + + * Simulation Platform: + + - Add a simulated I/O Expander driver. + - Add simulator-based test support for apps/examples/gpio. + - Add a configuration useful for testing Mini Basic. + - Add a simulated oneshot lowerhalf driver. + + * Atmel SAM3/4 Drivers: + + - SAM4CM: Add option to support oneshot timer without free-running + timer. Add oneshot lower half driver. + + * Atmel SAMA5 Drivers: + + - SAMA5D: Add option to support oneshot timer without free-running + timer. Add oneshot lower half driver. + + * Atmel SAMV7 Drivers: + + - SAMV71/SAME70: Add option to support oneshot timer without + free-running timer. Add oneshot lower half driver. + - Add support for SAMV7 DACC module. From Piotr Mienkowski. + + * NXP Freescale Kinetis Drivers: + + - Add support for I2C and RTC. From v01d (phreakuencies). + + * NXP Freescale Kinetis Boards: + + - Add teensy 3.x I2C support. From v01d (phreakuencies). + + * STMicro STM32: + + - Add IAR-style STM32F1xx vectors. Tested on STM32F103RB and + STM32F107RC. From Aleksandr Vyhovanec. + + * STMicro STM32 Drivers: + + - Add timekeeping support for the STM32 tickless mode. From Max + Neklyudov. + - Add a oneshot, lower-half driver for STM32. + - STM32 L4: Add oneshot lower half driver for STM32 L4. + - STM32 L4: Add support for quadrature encoders on STM32L4. Sebastien + Lorquet. + + * STMicro STM32 Boards: + + - stm32f103-minimum: Add board support to MFRC522 driver. From Alan + Carvalho de Assis. + - Add oneshot board initialization to stm32f103-minimum. From Alan + Carvalho de Assis. + - stm32f103-minimum: Add board configuration to initialize Audio Tone + Generator. From Alan Carvalho de Assis. + - stm32bufferfly2: Add support for the Kamami stm32butterfly2 + development board with optional ETH phy. From Michal Lyszczek. + - stm32f103-minimum: Add board config support to SPI LCD module + JLX12864G-086. From Alan Carvalho de Assis. + - stm32l476-mdk: Support basic booting and nsh on Motorola MDK. The + Motorola MDK is based off of an earlier version of NuttX. + This only provides a basic NSH shell. From Jim Wylder. + - STM32 F4 Discovery: Add support for XEN1210 3D-board. From Alan + Carvalho de Assis. + - stm32f103-minimum: Add stm32_bringup support and userled example to + STM32F103 Minimum board. From Alan Carvalho de Assis. + - Add support for qencoders on various nucleo boards. From Sebastien + Lorquet. + - olimex-stm32-e407: Add some networking configurations. From Mateusz + Szafoni. + + * TI Tiva Drivers: + + - Add tiva PWM lower-half driver implementation. From Young. + - Tiva QEI: Add QEI lower-half driver for Tiva series chip. From + Young. + + * C Library/Header Files: + + - Separate XorShift128 PRNG from /dev/urandom and make it generally + available. + - Add POSIX type sig_atomic_t. From Sebastien Lorquet. + - Add the difftime() function. The function depends on the toolchain- + dependent CONFIG_HAVE_DOUBLE so is not available on tiny platforms. + From Sebastien Lorquet. + - Add support for remove(). From Sebastien Lorquet. + - Add system() to stdlib.h. Actual implementation is in + apps/system/system. + + * Build/Configuration System: + + - Rename arch/sh to arch/renesas. + - Remove contactless drivers from drivers/wireless to drivers + contactless. From Sebastien Lorquet. + - Move all modem-related IOCTL commands to a common file to assure + that they will be unique. + + * Tools: + + - Add sethost.sh. This is a script that you can use to quickly + change the host platform from Linux to Windows/Cygwin. Might save + you a lot of headaches. + + * Applications: apps/nshlib: + + - Add logic to support an NSH-specific system command. + - Add printf command to NSH, e.g., controlling /dev/userleds from + command line: nsh> printf \x01 > /dev/userleds. From Alan Carvalho + de Assis. + + * Platforms: apps/system: + + - Port tee command from NetBSD. + - Add a generic system command. Current implentation cannot use + /bin/sh and spawns the custom NSH system command directly. + + * Platforms: apps/platform: + + - Add C++ support for STM32L476-MDK. + + * Platforms: apps/interpreters: + + - Add a port of Mini Basic, version 1.0, written by Malcom McLean and + released under the Creative Commons Attribution license. + + * Applications: apps/examples: + + - Add a simple test of the GPIO driver. + - Add RFID_READUID sample application. From Alan Carvalho de Assis. + - Add Oneshot timer example. + - Add a simple test of the system command. + +Works-In-Progress: + + * IEEE802.14.5/6LowPAN. Hooks and framework for this effort were + introduced in NuttX-7.15. Work has continued on this effort on + forks from the main repositories, albeit with many interruptions. + The completion of this wireless feature will postponed until at + least NuttX-7.19. + +Bugfixes. Only the most critical bugfixes are listed here (see the +ChangeLog for the complete list of bugfixes and for additional, more +detailed bugfix information): + + * Core OS: + + - Explicitly initialize the group tg_exitsem with sem_init(). The + existing logic worked because the correct initialization value is + all zero, but it is better to initialize the semaphore explicitly. + - The TCB nchildren field should not be incremented when pthreads are + created. + - Move fields related to parent/child task relationship out of TCB + into group structure where they belong. Child is a group, not a + thread. + - mq_send() was not setting the errno value on certain failures to + allocate a message. + - Define 'group' even if HAVE_GROUPID is not set. From Mateusz + Szafoni. + - Vector table should have dimension NR_IRQS, not NR_IRQS+1. From + Sagitta Li. + - pthreads: When a pthread is started, there is a small bit + of logic that will run on the thread of execution of the new + pthread. In the case where the new pthread has a lower + priority than the parent thread, then this could cause both the + parent thread and the new pthread to be blocked at the priority of + the lower priority pthread (assuming that CONFIG_PRIORITY_INHERITANCE + is not selected). This change temporarily boosts the priority of the + new pthread to at least the priority of the new pthread to at least + the priority of the parent thread. When that bit of logic has + executed on the thread of execution of the new pthread, it will then + drop to the correct priority (if necessary) before calling into the + new pthread's entry point. + + * File System/Block Drivers/MTD Drivers: + + - FAT performance improvement. In large files, seeking to a + position from the beginning of the file can be very time consuming. + ftell does lssek(fd, 0, SET_CURR). In that case, that is wasted + time since we are going to seek to the same position. This fix + short-circuits fat_seek() in all cases where we attempt to seek to + current position. Suggested by Nate Weibley. + - MTD: Fixed cloned typos in several FLASH drivers. From Aleksandr + Vyhovanec. + - mount: Corrects a bad assertion noted by Pierre-noel Bouteville. + Also fixes a reference counting problem in an error condition: + When the mountpoint inode is found but is not an appropriate + mountpoint, the reference count on the inode was not being + decremented. + + * Common Drivers: + + - Various serial drivers: Fix FIONWRITE and add FIONSPACE. All + implementations of FIONWRITE were wrong. FIONWRITE should return + the number of bytes waiting in the outgoing send queue, not the free + space. Rather, FIONSPACE should return the free space in the send + queue. + - Add missing prototype for btn_lower_initialize(). + - Make DAC sample structure packed. From Marc Rechté. + + * Networking: + + - TCP: tcp_ipvX_bind() not actually using the port selected with + port==0. Also removes duplicate call to pkt_input(). Issues noted + by Pascal Speck. + - drivers/net: NET_TUN=y => NET_MULTIBUFFER=y. From Vladimir + Komendantskiy. + - slip driver: Fix calculations using MSEC_PER_TICK. If + USEC_PER_TICK is less than 1000, then MSEC_PER_TICK will be + zero. It will be inaccurate in any case. + + * Atmel SAM3/4 Drivers: + + - SAM3/4 GPIO: Enable peripheral clock for GPIO port when GPIO is + configured as input. The value of a GPIO input is only sampled when + the peripheral clock for the port controller the GPIO resides in is + enabled. Therefore we need to enable the clock even when polling a + GPIO. From Wolfgang Reissnegger. + - All SAM Ethernet Drivers: Add support so that the drivers can be + built with CONFIG_NET_MULTIBUFFER=y. + - SAM3/4: Fix GPIO pull-up/down code. Enabling the pull-down resistor + while the pull-up resistor is still enabled is not possible. In this + case, the write of PIO_PPDER for the relevant I/O line is discarded. + Likewise, enabling the pull-up resistor while the pull-down resistor + is still enabled is not possible. In this case, the write of + PIO_PUER for the relevant I/O line is discarded. From Wolfgang + Reißnegger. + + * Atmel SAMV7 Drivers: + + - All SAM Ethernet Drivers: Add support so that the drivers can be + built with CONFIG_NET_MULTIBUFFER=y. + - SAM GPIO: Apply Wolfgang's change for SAM3/4 to SAMA5 and SAMV7. + + * Atmel SAMA5: + + - Add missing oneshot max_delay method. + - All SAM Ethernet Drivers: Add support so that the drivers can be + built with CONFIG_NET_MULTIBUFFER=y. + - SAM GPIO: Apply Wolfgang's change for SAM3/4 to SAMA5 and SAMV7. + + * NXP Freescale LPC43xx Drivers: + + - LPC43xx serial: Fix typos in LPC43 serial driver. Found by Vytautas + Lukenskas. + - LPC43xx Serial: There are some small problems in LPC43xx RS485 mode + configuration. In particular: (1) UART0,2,3 do not have DTR pins + (different from UART1), so, Kconfig needs to be adjusted. (2) + lpc43_uart.c in RS485 mode only configures DIR pin, but doesn't + enable pin output for UART0,2,3. (3) should be option to reverse DIR + control pin output polarity. (4) lpc43xx/chip/lpc43_uart.h doesn't + have USART3 definitions. NOTE: I didn't modified and didn't tested + USART1, as it has different hardware. From Vytautas Lukenskas. + From Vytautas Lukenskas. + + * SiLabs EFM32 Drivers: + + - EFM32 SPI drivers adopted incompatible conventions (See STM32 for + details of the issue). + + * STMicro STM32 Drivers: + + - STM32, STM32 L4, and EFM32 SPI drivers adopted incompatible + conventions somewhere along the line. They set the number of bits + to negative when calling SPI_SETBITS which had the magical side- + effect of setting LSB first order of bit transmission. This is not + only a hokey way to pass control information but is supported by no + other SPI drivers. This change three things: (1) It adds + HWFEAT_LSBFIRST as a new H/W feature. (2) It changes the + implementations of SPI_SETBITS in the STM32 and EFM32 drivers so + that negated bit numbers are simply errors and it adds the + SPI_HWFEATURES method that can set the LSB bit order, and + (3) It changes all calls with negative number of bits from all + drivers: The number of bits is now always positive and + SPI_HWFEATURES is called with HWFEAT_LSBFIRST to set the bit order. + - Add missing SPI2 and SPI3 support for STM32F3F3. Add STM32F37XX DMA + channel configuration. For STM32F37XX, SYSCFG_EXTICR_PORTE defined + twice. From Alan Carvalho de Assis. + - STM32: Make stm32_pwr_enablebkp thread safe. From Max Neklyudov. + - Fix bad pllmul values for STM32F1XX connectivity line. STM32F1XX + connectivity line supports only x4, x5, x6, x7, x8, x9 and x6.5 + values. From Michal Lyszczek. + - STM32F3 SPI: Fix the number of bit setting for the F3. That and + data packing work differently on the STM32F3 than for other STM32 + parts. + - STM32 and STM32 L4: Enabling SPI DMA loses other bits in CR2. + - STM32F3 SPI: Cannot write always 16-bit value to DR register + because of how the F3 implements data packing. + - STM32F411 and STM32F446 map i2c2_sda_4 to different alternate + function numbers. From Konstantin Berezenko. + - STM32 DMA Fix: Change stm32 adc dma callback to send channel + number instead of index. From Konstantin Berezenko. + - STM32 OTGFS device: Fix for lost first word from FIFO + + 1) Do not overwrite Reserved Bits in GINTSTS (per ref manual)* + 2) Acknowledge all pending int on entry to ISR that are Only rc_w1* + 3) Do not disable RXFVL* + 4) Loop until RXFVL is cleared* + 5) Only clear the NAK on the endpoint on the OTGFS_GRXSTSD_PKTSTS_SETUPDONE to not loose the first WORD of FIFO all the data (Bug Fix) + + Changed marked *are just driver clean up and ensure ints are not lost. The bug fix is #5 + + Test case open putty and observer the Set/Get LineCoding. Without this fix #5 the Get will not match the Set, and in fact the data might be skewed by 4 bytes, that are lost from the FIFO if the OTGFS_DOEPCTL0_CNAK bit is set in the OTGFS_GRXSTSD_PKTSTS_SETUPRECVD as opposed to the OTGFS_GRXSTSD_PKTSTS_SETUPDONE + + Set Line Coding DATA1: 4B | 00 c2 01 00 00 00 08 | c8 1B + Get Line Coding DATA1: 4B | .. .. .. .. 00 00 08 c8 .. 00 00 07 | 7a 72 + + From David Sidrane. + - STM32 L4 OTGFS device: Apply stm32 fix to stm32l4. From Sebastien + Lorquet. + - STM32 F7: Remove duplicate call to pkt_input from Ethernet driver. + Issues noted by Pascal Speck. + - STM32 L4: Add support for USART3-USART5. For STM32L4 parts, the + higher number USART ports supported varies. Add the HAVE_USARTx + definitions to the configuration to allow enabling the higher + numbered USART ports. From Jim Wylder. + - STM32 USB: Set USB address to avoid a failed assertion. From + Pierre-noel Bouteville. + - STM32 L4 and L7 USB: Pierre's assertion-avoidance change should + also be applied to STM32 F7 and L4. + - STM32, L4, and F7: Remove GPIO_ETH_RMII_TX_CLK. TX_CLK is not + present in RMII. Mateusz Szafoni. + - STM32 Ethernet: Correct typo in conditional logic. From Neil + Hancock. + - STM32 L4 USB Device: Fixed L4 USB Driver by avoiding SETUPDONE and + EPOUT_SETUP. From David Sidrane. + - STM32 SPI: stm32_modifycr2 should be available on all platforms if + DMA is enabled. + - STM32 DMA2D: fix an error in up_dma2dcreatelayer where an invalid + pointer was returned when a certain underlying function failed. + From Jens Gräf. + + * TI Tiva Drivers: + + - Fix two bugs of tiva pwm lower-half driver implementation. From + Young. + - Tiva Ethernet: Needs support for CONFIG_NET_MULTIBUFFER=y. + + * C Library/Header Files: + + - lib_dumpbuffer() now prints a large on-stack buffer first to avoid + problems when the syslog output is prefixed with time. From + Pierre-noel Bouteville. + - libc/math: This fixes the following libc/math issues: (1) asin[f l]() + use Newton’s method to converge on a solution. But Newton’s method + converges very slowly (> 500,000 iterations) for values of x close to + 1.0; and, in the case of asinl(), sometimes fails to converge (loops + forever). The attached patch uses an trig identity for values of + x > sqrt(2). The resultant functions converge in no more than 5 + iterations, 6 for asinl(). (2) The NuttX erf[f l]() functions are + based on Chebyshev fitting to a good guess. The problem there’s a + bug in the implementation that causes the functions to blow up with + x near -3.0. This patch fixes that problem. It should be noted that + this method returns the error function erf(x) with fractional error + less than 1.2E-07 and that’s fine for the float version erff(), but + the same method is used for double and long double version which + will yield only slightly better precision. This patch doesn't + address the issue of lower precision for erf() and erfl(). (3) a + faster version of copysignf() for floats is included. From David S. + Alessio. + - strtod() was not returning endptr on error conditions. + - libc/math: floor(), floorf(), and floorl(): Fix logic error. Was + not correctly handling negative integral value. + - isatty() should be prototyped in unstid.h, not termios.h. From + Sebastien Lorquet. + - nxglib: Fix handling of near-horizontal lines of width 1 in + nxgl_splitline(). Missing handling for degenerate condition caused + width 1 lines such as (0, 0) - (100, 10) to have gaps in the + drawing. From Petteri Aimonen. + + * Build/Configuration System: + + - Top-Level Makefiles: Fix a chicken-and-egg problem. In the menuconfig + target, the context dependency was executed before kconfig-mconf. That + was necessary because the link at apps/platform/board needed to be set + up before creating the apps/Kconfig file. Otherwise, the platform + Kconfig files would not be included. But this introduces the chicken- + and-egg problem in some configurations. In particular: (1) An NX + graphics configuration is used that requires auto-generation of + source files using cpp, (2) the configuration is set for Linux, but + (3) we are running under Cygwin with (4) a Windows native toolchain. + In this case, POSIX-style symbolic links are set up but the Windows + native toolchain cannot follow them. The reason we are running + 'make menuconfig' is to change from Linux to Cygwin, but the target + fails. During the context phase, NX runs CPP to generate source files + but that fails because the Windows native toolchain cannot follow + the links. Checkmate. This was fixed by changing all of the make + menuconfig (and related) targets. They no longer depend on context + being run. Instead, they depend only on the dirlinks target. The + dirlinks target only sets up the directory links but does not try + to run all of the context setup; the compiler is never invoked; no + code is autogenerated and things work. + - CXXFLAGS: add -fcheck-new whenever -fno-exceptions is used. From + Beat Küng. + + * Tools + + - tools/refresh.sh: Recent complexities added to apps/ means that + configuration needs the correct Make.defs file in place in order to + configure properly. + - tools/kconfig2html.c: Update to handle absolute paths when sourcing + Kconfig files. + - tools/mkfsdata.pl was still generating the old-style apps/include + inclusion paths. + + * Application Build/Configuration System: + + - Add DIRLINK and DIRUNLINK tool definitions to apps/Make.defs. + + * apps/nshlib: + + - Fix FIFO_SIZE vs PIPE_SIZE. + - Fix hex representation of IP address in Kconfig. Noted by Michal + Lyszczek. + - nsh_syscmds.c: missing semicolon. From Mateusz Szafoni. + - In system command, don't try to flush output streams if stdio + buffered I/O is not supported. + + * apps/canutils: + + - libuavcan: Under certain circumstances, DELIM is not be defined in + Makefile. + - Add definition for APPNAME in apps/canutils/canlib. From Sebastien + Lorquet. + + * apps/gpsutils: + + - Fix an error minmea. From Aleksandr Vyhovanec. + + * apps/examples: + + - apps/examples/oneshot: If the requested delay is > max_delay, then + break the delay up into several pieces.
