* Makefile: Fix an error introduced in the top-level Makefile in NuttX-6.1.
This error only shows up if you have a /tftpboot directory. Then the
make will fail with an obscure error about not being able to stat pass2.
* configs/lpcxpresso-lpc1768/nsh: Add an NSH configuration for the
LPCXpresso board.
* configs/*/ld.script: Removed 'sh_link not set for section .ARM.edix' for
a few of the builds. In you have this warning, it can be removed with the
following change to the ld.script file:

} &gt;sram

* lib/drivers/cc1101: Add initial, functional CC1101 wireless driver
(contributed by Uros Platise)
* arch/mips and configs/pcblogic-pic32mx: The MicroChip PIC32MX port is now
code complete and ready to begin testing. Unfortunately, it looks like
testing will be delayed due to tool issues (My PICkit 2 will not work the
the MPLAB debugger on PIC32; I will need to get a PICkit 3).
* drivers/net/e1000.c/h: A PCI-based E1000 ethernet driver submitted
by Yu Qiang.
* lib/net/lib_inetaddr.c: An implementation of the inet_addr() function
submitted by Yu Qiang.
* arch/arm/src/lpc31xx and arch/arm/include/lpc31xx: Renamed from lpc313x
to make name space for other famiy members.
* arch/arm/*/lpc31xx: Added support for the LPC315x family (untested).
* sched/task_exithook.c: Functionality performed when a task exits or is
deleted has been moved to a common file task_exithook.c. Now exit()
functionality (like flushing I/O and calling registered atexit()
functions, etc.) will be performed when a task is deleted as well.
* mm/: Added support for CONFIG_MM_SMALL. Each memory allocation has a
small allocation overhead. The size of that overhead is normally
determined by the "width" of the address support by the MCU. MCUs
that support 16-bit addressability have smaller overhead than devices
that support 32-bit addressability. However, there are many MCUs
that support 32-bit addressability *but* have internal SRAM of size
less than or equal to 64Kb. In this case, CONFIG_MM_SMALL can be
defined so that those MCUs will also benefit from the smaller, 16-
bit-based allocation overhead.
* lib/string/lib_strndup.c: Add standard strndup() library function.
* net/getsockname.c: Added standard getsockname() to return the local
address associated with a socket.
* lib/stdio/lib_asprintf.c: Add asprintf()
* configs/olimex-lpc1766stk/ftpc: Add a configuration to support
testing of the FTP client shell.
* fd/fs_fdopen.c and net/net_checksd.c: Add support so that fdopen may
be used with socket descriptors.
* net/recvfrom.c: Fix an error found in receiving small files via FTP:
The small file is received a buffered in the readahead buffer, then the
socket is disconnected. When the app calls recvfrom, the socket is
already disconnected and the buffered data is stranded. Now, recvfrom
will continue to return success after the socket is disconnected until
the readahead buffer is drained.
* olimex-lp1766stk/ftpc/defconfig: Many configurations have the MTU
(CONFIG_NET_BUFSIZE) set to very small numbers, less then the minimum
MTU size that must be supported -- 576. This can cause problems in
some networks: CONFIG_NET_BUFSIZE should be set to at least 576 in
all defconfig files. This has only been fixed in this defconfig file.
* arch/arm/src/lpc17xx: Correct some typos/bugs in configuration of LPC17xx
UART2 and UART3.
* nuttx/clock.h: Replace all references to the global variable g_system_timer
with clock_systemtimer() (currently just a macro that that returns g_system_timer).
* lib/string/strrch.c: Would fail if the searched-for character were the first
character in the string.
* tools/version.sh and mkversion.c: Tools to manage a NuttX version number
file
* sched/clock_getutc() and lib/time/lib_time.c: Add support for 1 second UTC
interface.
* net/net_dup2.c and include/nuttx/net.h: The conditional compilation for
'#if CONFIG_NFILE_DESCRIPTOR &gt; 0' was wrong in both of these files. It should
be '#if CONFIG_NFILE_DESCRIPTORS &gt; 0'. This causes a dup2() failure in THTTPD
and a failure to get a CGI page. The consequence can be a very serious bug!
* configs/lpcxpresso-lpc1768/usbstorage, thttpd, and dhcpd: Add an USB storage,
THTTPD web server, and DHCP server configurations for the NXP LPCXpresso board.
* drivers/lcd/ug-9664hswag01.c and ssd1305.h: Add support for Univision UG-9664HSWAG01
OLED with Solomon Systech SD1305 LCD controller.
* configs/lpcxpresso-lpc1668/nx: Add a NX graphics configuration for the LPCXPRESO
board.
* graphics/nxglib/nxglib_nonintersecting.c: Fix some single bit errors in
calculation of non-intersecting regions. This was causing an anomaly
in examples/nx in column 0.
* drivers/mtd/rammtd.c: Added a RAM based MTD driver. This RAM driver simulates
FLASH and is useful for testing purposes.
* arch/arm/src/arm/up_head.S: Fix backward conditional compilation. This cause
the configs/mx1ads configuration to fail to build but does not appear to affect
any other ARM9 build.
* fs/nxffs: Adding a tiny, wear-leveling FLASH file system for NuttX. This
file system is intended to be small and will have some limitations. The
implementation is incomplete on initial checkin.
* apps/examples/nxffs and configs/sim/nxffs: Add a test a a configuration that
will be used to verify NXFFS.
* fs/fat/fs_fat32.c and fs_fat32util.c: Incorpated two bugs with fixed provided
by Sheref Younan. Thanks!
* fs/nxffs: After a couple of weeks of testing and bug fixes, NXFSS appears
stable and functional.

nuttx-6.3 2011-05-15 Gregory Nutt &lt;spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr&gt;
* Remove clock_getutc(). It is replaces with clock_gettime(CLOCK_ACTIVETIME).
Add other RTC related changes provided by Uros Platise.
* arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_flash.c: Add support for access to on-chip STM32
FLASH; beginning of integration with NXFFS (Uros Platise).
* arch/mips: Added directory structure for PIC32 support
* configs/pcblogic-pic32mx: Add directory structure for PCB Logic PIC32MX board
* apps/include: Move include/apps to apps/include. A symbolic link is created at
build time
* Makefile: Removed support for Pascal pcode interpreter. Support for that
interpreter has been moved to apps/interpreter/Makefile.
* tools/mkdep.sh: Should not report an error if there are no files on the command
line. This happens normally in certain configurations.
* drivers/usbhost: Sheref Younan reported an error in the error handling when
connection to a USB device fails. In certain fail cases, the logic would try
to free the device class instance twice, the first was okay, but the second
caused a crash.
* graphics/nxbe/nxbe_colormap.c: Fix error noted by Bassem Fahmy. The function
nxbe_colormap was change to nxbe_configure... apparently "search-and-replace"
error. This error was not noticed before because most NX platforms do not use
colormapping.
* arch/rgmp and configs/rgmp. Add architecture support and build
configuration for RGMP. RGMP is a project for running GPOS and
RTOS simultaneously on multi-processor platforms. See
http://rgmp.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page for further
information about RGMP.
* lib/stdio/lib_fclose.c: Must flush all buffered data when the file is closed.
Instead, it was discarding the buffered data.
* lib/stdio: All output stream logic was modified to support CONFIG_STDIO_LINEBUFFER.
If standard C buffered I/O is enabled (CONFIG_STDIO_BUFFER_SIZE > 0), then this
option may be added to force automatic, line-oriented flushing the output buffer
for putc(), fputc(), putchar(), puts(), fputs(), printf(), fprintf(), and vfprintf().
When a newline is encountered in the output string, the output buffer will be
flushed. This (slightly) increases the NuttX footprint but supports the kind of
behavior that people expect for printf.
apps-6.2 2011-05-06 Gregory Nutt &lt;spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr&gt;
* apps/examples/nxffs: Add a test a a configuration that will be used to
verify NXFFS.
apps-6.3 2011-05-15 Gregory Nutt &lt;spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr&gt;
* apps/interpreter: Add a directory to hold interpreters. The Pascal add-
on module now installs and builds under this directory.
* apps/interpreter/ficl: Added logic to build Ficl (the "Forth Inspired
Command Language"). See http://ficl.sourceforge.net/.
* apps/netutils/dhcpc, dhcpcd, and tftp. If these directories are included
in the configuration but CONFIG_NET_UDP is disable (which is not very wise),
then a make error occurs because tools/mkdep.sh is called with no files.
* system/free: Move Uros' custom free command from vsn/free
* system/install: Add a new install command submitted by Uros Platise.
* examples/rgmp. Add a placeholder for an RGMP build example.
RGMP is a project for running GPOS and RTOS simultaneously on
multi-processor platforms. See http://rgmp.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
for further information about RGMP. NOTE: This is an empty example
on initial check-in.
* nshlib/nsh_netcmds.c: If a network device name and IP address are provided
with the ifconfig command, then this command will now set the network address.
(Contributed by Yu Qiang).
* netutils/ftpc: A library to support client-side FTP.
* examples/ftpc: A simple add-on to the NSH. From NSH, you can start
this simple FTP shell to transfer files to/from a remote FTP server.

^^^^^^^^^
The 71st release of NuttX, Version 6.4, was made on June 6, 2011 and is
available for download from the SourceForge website. The 6.4 release
includes several new features:
* A new, full-featured FTP client. This client may be used as a library
for automated FTP or via an FTP client shell. The FTP shell supports
the following commands: cd, chmod, get, help, idle, login, ls, quit,
mkdir, noop, put, pwd, rename, rhelp, rm, rmdir, size, time, and up.
A configuration is available for the NXP LPC17xx to demonstrate this
functionality.
* A functional C1101 wireless driver (contributed by Uros Platise)
* A PCI-based E1000 Ethernet driver (contributed by Yu Qiang)
* New C library functions: inet_addr() (contributed by Yu Qiang),
strndup(), asprintf()
* Reduced memory allocation overhead for MCUs with small heaps (<64Kb).
* fdopen() now works with socket descriptors allowing standard buffered
C functions to be used for network communications.
* The NSH ifconfig command can now be used to set or change the IP
address (contributed by Yu Qiang)
