0.1.0 2007-03-09 Gregory Nutt * Initial Release * Support for Linux user mode simulation and TI TMS320C5471 (Arm7) provided 0.1.1 2007-03-14 Gregory Nutt * Corrected an error in interrupt level context switching for C5471 * Added fgets() and gets() logic; verified c5471 console read. * Corrected error in reading from the C5471 serial port: Improper use of semaphore can cause deadlock. * Fixed an error in the memory cleanup: The idle task cannot take sempahores (because it must always be ready to run). * Tasks can now accept a configurable maximum number of input parameters (argc) * _task_init() was divided into separate functions that require fewer parameters. This was necessary to keep the stack usage down for the 8051/2 (which has only 256 bytes of stack). * Attempts to use C5471 console from interrupt handlers can cause errors. Added a special path for this case. * Refuse calls to sem_wait and sem_trywait from interrupt handlers. This was happening because interrupt handlers were calling printf-like functions. * Added strtok() and strtok_r() * Added a simple shell called nsh (see examples/nsh). * Platform support for 8052 is complete but not stable when the timer interrupt is enabled. Seems to be an issue when SP enters indirect address space. * Documentation updates 0.1.2 2007-03-19 Gregory Nutt * Add dirent.h, opendir(), readdir(), closedir(), etc. * Add strerror() * Added 'ls' command to nsh * Added C5471 watchdog driver * Fixed another bug where free() is called from IDLE task. Can't do this; the caller must be able to wait for access to memory. * Fixed bugs associated with debug output: Cannot do dbg() in middle of context switch logic. because it may require use of semaphores and cause additional context switches. lldbg() is safe. * Interrupt must be disabled throughout all context switches. * Separated C5471 serial driver; a shareable part is in drivers/. ; the C5471 specific part is in arch/C5471. serial.h defines the interface. * Fixed mq_receive() and mq_send() -- bad memcpy() * Fixed C5471 signal deliver logic: use of dbg() and other actions by use signal handler can alter errno. need to protect errno during signal handling. * Fixed uninitialized variable in filesystem that could cause various problems * Added a test for roundrobin scheduler. 0.2.1 2007-03-22 Gregory Nutt * Fix error in handing signed decimal in vsprintf(). * Major restructuring of header files to get closer to POSIX compliance. * Eliminate compilation warnings that that crept into recent check-ins * Add kill() * Added support for POSIX timers * Some Documentation updates * Added support for the Neuros OSD / DM320 0.2.2 2007-03-26 Gregory Nutt * Created the configs/ directory; separated board configuration from processor architecture logic * Add memory leak detection test to examples/ostest * Corrected memory leak in OS pthread join logic * Corrected memory leaks in examples/ostest due to failures to join or detach from pthreads. * Added pthread_once(), pthread_kill(), pthread_sigmask() * Added pthread_barrierattr_*() APIs * Added pthread_barrier_init(), pthread_barrier_destroy(), and pthread_barrier_wait(); * Added pthread barrier test * Added protection so that errno cannot be modified from interrupt handling. * sched_setparam(), sched_setscheduler() now correctly set errno; pthread_setscheduler() now returns the correct errno. * Added pthread_setschedprio(). * Added directories to hold board-specific header files * Added directories to hold board-specific drivers 0.2.3 2007-03-29 Gregory Nutt * mq_receive and mq_send now return errno's appropriately * mq_receive and mq_send are now correctly awakened by signals. * Fixed an unmatched sched_lock/unlock pair in task_delete(). * sched_lock must be called in _exit() because operation of task_delete() can cause pending tasks to be merged and a context switch to occur. * Added mq_timedreceive() and mq_timedsend() * signal mask is now inherited by both child tasks and threads. * Improved sharebility of stdout among pthreads (only). Nothing was broken, but by moving the mutual exclusion logic to a higher level, the printf output is more readable. * Fixed a bug in file system cleanup: A list was being deleted before the buffers contained in the list. * Fixed a bug in the wait-for-message-queue-not-empty logic. * Added a test of timed mqueue operations; detected and corrected some mqueue errors. * Identified and corrected a race condition associated with pthread_join. In the failure condition, memory was being deallocated while still in use. 0.2.4 2007-04-28 Gregory Nutt * Verfied c5471 build under Cygwin on WinXP * Makesystem changes to better support different SoCs. * Made arch/c5471/include and arch/dm320/include identical in preparation for merging into arch/arm * Logic from arch/c5471 and arch/dm320 combined into arch/arm. arch/c5471 and arch/dm320 are deprecated and will be removed when the new c5471 and dm320 logic is verified. 0.2.5 2007-05-19 Gregory Nutt * Corrected some build/configuration issues introduced with the last release. * Added support for the NXP 214x processor on the mcu123.com lpc214x development board (untested) * Added support for block devices. * Simulated target now exports a VFAT filesystem * Begin support for VFAT filesystem (missing functionalit) * Added mount() and umount() * Fix bug in memcmp return value * Fix errors in timeslice calculation (several places) * Added missing irqrestore() in timer_deletall(). * close() was not closing the underlying device. * Added fsync() * Added strspn() and strcspn() 0.2.6 2007-05-26 Gregory Nutt * Added unlink(), mkdir(), rmdir(), and rename() * Fixed several serious FAT errors with oflags handling (&& instead of &) * Added FAT support for unlink(), mkdir(), rmdir(), and rename * Added FAT support for opendir(), closedir(), readdir(), seekdir(), telldir(), rewindir(). * Fixed ARM compilation errors introduced in 0.2.5 (that is what I get for only testing on the simulation). 0.2.7 2007-06-09 Gregory Nutt * Added stat() to fs layer and to FAT * Fixed reference counting errors associated with mounted filesystems * Added fat_getattrib() and fat_setattrib() * Added statfs() to fs layer and to FAT * Correct file name extension in tools/zipme.sh * Fix error in dependencies in 8051/2 Makefile * sched/Makefile: Don't build sleep() or usleep() if signals are disabled * sched/sched_setparam.c: Remove redundant disabling of interrupts * sched/usleep.c: Fixed nsec calculation * lib/lib_strcspn.c: Function incorrectly named strspn(). * examples/ostest/main.c: Errors in SDCC version of a memcpy() call * examples/ostest/sighand.c: Don't call fflush() if streams are disabled * include/limits.h, include/time.h, sched/clock_internal.h: A support for using selectable system timer frequency. * Fixed error in mountpoint related conditional compilation introduced in 0.2.5 * Restructured some Makefiles to better handle enabling and disabling NuttX features without having so much conditional compilation in the source files. * tools/mkconfig.c: No longer depends on asprintf() and _GNU_SOURCE and so should now build in non-GNU, non-GLIBC environments. * include/nuttx/compiler.h: Fix for using SDCC with the Z80. * include/assert.h & arch/pjrc-8051/src/up_assert.c: SDCC does support __FILE__and __LINE__ (not tested) * examples/ostest/barrier.c: Don't call usleep() when signals are disabled. 0.2.8 2007-07-02 Gregory Nutt * tools/Makefile.mkconfig: Under Cygwin, executable has a different name * tools/mkdeps.sh & arch/arm/src/Makefile: Corrected a problem makeing dependencies * tools/zipme.sh: Force directory name to be nuttx-xx.yy.zz * fs/fs_opendir.c: Correct errors in semaphore usage that can cause deadlock. * lib/lib_getopt.c: Added getopt() support * examples/nsh/: NSH now supports cat, mount, umount, and mkdir. ls supports -l -s, and -R * Added basic OS support to manage environment variables: environment storage, cloning on task creation, sharing on pthread creation, destruction on thread/task exit. * Add environment variables APIs: environ, getenv, putenv, clearenv, setenv, unsetenv * Correct an error in realloc() when the block is extended "down" in memory. In this case, the old memory contents need to be copied to the new location and an allocated bit was not being set. * examples/ostest/: Added an environment variable test. * examples/nsh/: Break into several files. * lib/: Added strrchr, basename, dirname * examples/nsh/: Add cp, rm, rmdir, set, unset commands. echo will now print environment variables. 0.3.0 2007-11-06 Gregory Nutt * Imported uIP into the tree (see http://www.sics.se/~adam/uip/index.php/Main_Page) * Adding socket(), bind(), connect() * Added snprintf() * Added send() and sendto(); integrate write() and close() with socket descriptors. * Added recv() and recvfrom(). * Added getsockopt() and setsockopt() * Documentation updated to address socket interfaces. * Implemented receive timeouts via setsockopt(SO_RCVTIMEO). * Provide support for multiple network devices * Implement socket ioctl() calls to set addresses * Added listen() and accept() * Added DM90x0 ethernet driver * ARP timer is now built into the network layer * Basic client functionality verified: TCP socket(), bind(), connect(), recv(), send(). 0.3.1 2007-11-19 Gregory Nutt * Separated net/uip/uip.c into several functions in several files. * Corrected a TCP problem where packets were dropped because there was no recv() in place but the packet was being ACKed. There are still TCP recv buffering issues, but this is part of a larger buffering issue. * Basic server functionality verified: TCP listen(), accept() * Fix DM90x0 driver problem that caused TX overruns * Add strncmp() * Added TCP/IP read-ahead buffer to minimize failed ACKs and packet loss. 0.3.2 2007-11-23 Gregory Nutt * Add strcat() and strncat() * Integrated uIP micro webserver * Corrected a serious bug in TCP queue management * Fix leak in socket close logic * Add TX notification to driver so that it can respond faster to the availability of TX data. * Moved urgent data info into device structure. * TCP and ICMP protocols can now be disabled. * Added UDP test in examples/udp * Verified/debugged UDP socket(), bind(), sendto() and recvfrom() logic using examples/udp * recvfrom() and accept() now correctly return the remote address. * Fixed computation error in ntohl(). 0.3.3 2007-11-28 Gregory Nutt * Removed unused uIP files * sched/, mm/, and net/ subystem debug can not be selectively enabled/disabled * Correct socket close logic -- needs to disconnect TCP socket on close * uIP webserver now seems to be fully functional * fs/ and lib/ subystem debug can not be selectively enabled/disabled * Added vsnprintf * Integrated uIP telnetd * Add missing logic to readahead buffer logic * examples/nettest uses larger buffers * Improved ACK handling in send() to better hander deferred acknowledgements and polling intervals.

Effects all architectures. 0.3.8 2008-02-10 Gregory Nutt * Added a test case to verify the Pascal P-Code interpreter * Added /dev/zero * 'errno' is now defined to be *get_errno_ptr() with no name conflicts * Added lseek() and fseek() * Integrated Pascal interpreter test case on the simulation platform. Needs pascal-0.1.1. * Add Pascal test case on the z16f platform. Needs pascal-0.1.2 (does not yet work due to some tool issues). * C buffered I/O fixes: - Fix fflush() return value, - Add correct fflush behavior when the FILE argument is null. - Add logic to a correctly handle read/write access on the same FILE - fseek() flushes read/write data when before moving the file pointer - When read data is flushed, reposition the file pointer to account for buffered, but unread data * Pascal P-Code files are now standardized to big-endian for portability * Fix a build problem with z80 and SDCC 2.7.0 (format of a map file changed) (see bug 1887170) * Pascal P-Code runtime now compiles with the SDCC toolchain. * Added a generic CAN driver. This driver is untested as of this writing. * Corrected DM320 UART configuration problem 0.3.9 2008-03-09 Gregory Nutt * Began adding support for the ZiLOG Z8Encore! microcontroller for the Z8Encore000ZCO development board and the Z8F6403 part. * Fix broken 'clean' target on z80sim configurations * Re-structure arch/z80 to provide support for all ZiLOG 8-bit microcontrollers (ez8 in particular for now). * Add support for TRS80-Model 3 based on the xtrs emulation (http://www.tim-mann.org/xtrs.html) Per patch from Jacques Pelletier. * In all shell scripts, change #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash to resolve problems in Ubuntu where /bin/sh is a link to dash. * Z8Encore! port verified on ZDS-II instruction set/chip simulator. 0.3.10 2008-05-15 Gregory Nutt * Add support for the ZiLOG EZ80Acclaim microcontrooler (EZ80F91 chip). * Add configuration for the ZiLOG z8f64200100kit development kit, Z8F6423 part. * Add configuration for the ZiLOG ez80f0910200kitg development kit, EZ80F091 part. * Correct critical list handling errors in task shutdown logic: One in timer deletion logic (timer_delete.c) and one in stream logic (lib_init.c) reported by kwonsk. 0.3.11 2008-06-01 Gregory Nutt * Add support for recursive mutexes. * Eliminate a memory leak -- contained watchdog instance was not being deleted with a POSIX timer was deleted reported by kwonsk. * Eliminate a deadlock condition in opendir() reported by kwonsk. * Fix several FAT filesystem problems reported by kwonsk (Changes not yet verified). * Host simulator no longer uses Linux system calls directly; Now works with Cygwin. * Fix an error that occurs when a POSIX timer is deleted by the timer signal handler. * Add logic to allow the examples/ostest to be run repetitively as an endurance test. * Add a ramdisk block driver 0.3.12 2008-08-10 Gregory Nutt * Improved solution to POSIX timer lifetime controls bug fixed in 0.3.11. * Add test for recursive mutexes * Correct bug in recursive mutex logic * Add mkfifo() * Add pipe() and test for both pipes and fifos * Attempts to open a FIFO will now block until there is at least one writer * Add test/Fixed errors in FIFO reader/writer interlocks * Removed limitation: task_create() was only dup'ing 3 file descriptors (now dups all open file descriptors). * Added a test for redirection of stdio through pipes * Fixed error in dup and dup2: Must call open/close methods in fs/driver so that driver can correctly maintain open reference counts. * Same issue on closing file descriptors in exit() * Fixed in error in stdio flush logic. Needed ssize_t vs size_t for error check. * Moved all FAT related files from fs to fs/fat * Implemented mkfatfs(), a non-standard API to create a FAT filesystem on a block device (not yet tested). * Added a test for mkfatfs() on a RAM disk in examples/mount and verified basic mkfatfs functionality for FAT12. 0.3.13 2008-09-01 Gregory Nutt * NSH: Added mkfatfs, mkfifo, sleep, usleep and nice commands * Fixed problem with console input in Cygwin-based simulator; NSH now works with simulator. * NSH will now execute commands in background * sched_get_priority_max/min returned error on SCHED_RR * Removed duplicate getenv() implementation in /lib * Correct detection of End-of-File in fgets * NSH: Implemented sh and crude script handler * Fix prototype of read() and write(). Need to use ssize_t and size_t, not int and unsigned int. * NSH now supports redirection of command output * NSH can now use both telnet and serial front ends together * NSH: $variable can be used for any command value * Fixed an error in opendir() that could cause an assertion to fail inappropriately. * Correct an error in the FAT that caused files opened for writing with O_APPEND to fail. The file was not being properly positioned to the end of the file in that case. * NSH now supports last exit status $? * NSH now supports if-then[-else]-fi construct * NSH now supports comments beginning with '#' * NSH now supports commands to inspect and modify memory * NSH cat command now supports multiple files on command line * Add chdir() and getcwd() * Fix error in getopt() when called with argc==1 * Fix error in stat() when used on the root directory * NSH: Add cd and pwd commands and current working directory to all NSH commands that refer to paths. * Fix errors and warnings introduced into Linux sim build because of recent Cygwin-based sim changes * NSH: Add mem command to display heap usage * Added telnet NSH configuration for Neuros OSD. * Basic integration of concurrent telnet/serial NSH functional on Neuros OSD. * Fixed a critical bug that effects the way that environment variables are shared amongst pthreads. * uIP port enhance to support multi-threaded, concurrent socket access. So, for example, one thread can be reading from a socket while another is writing to the socket. 0.3.14 2008-09-08 Gregory Nutt * FAT FS now uses position variable in struct file. This simplifies operations like ftell(). * fseek() needs to discard bytes buffered by ungetc(). * Corrected ftell() return value. * Added fsetpos() and fgetpos(). * NSH: Now supports 'test' and '[' commands * Correct error in send() timeout logic. * Correct error in multi-threaded socket handling in send() and sendto(). Outgoing data could overwrite incoming data. * Add support to uIP for application access to ICMP protocol stacks; Add ping request logic. * NSH: Add ping command * Correct IP checksum calculation in ICMP and UDP message send logic. * NSH: Created an HTML document and a more detailed README file describing NSH. * Added basic TFTP client logic (netutils/tftpc). * NSH: Add get and put commands to support TFTP get and put operations. * NSH: Added a mkrd command that will create a RAMDISK that can be formatted and mounted. * Corrected a critical bug that prevent recvfrom from receiving packets from any remote UDP port. * NSH: Add hexadecimal dump command (xd) * Fixed several critical bugs with regard to fat reading and writing and FAT12 accesses. Basically the FAT FS only worked with my tiny test files and test cases. A lot of stronger FAT tested is needed!! * Fixed another FAT bug in implementation of FAT lseek; this prohibit correct random access to large files. 0.3.15 2008-09-20 Gregory Nutt * Added support for ROMFS filesystem. * Added a simple test the ROMFS filesystem (examples/romfs) * NSH: Use ROMFS to provide an option for a start-up script at /etc/init.d/rcS * Add definition of BIOC_XIPBASE ioctl and implement in RAM disk block driver. This is a low level requirement for eXecute In Place (XIP) support. * Add a FIOC_MMAP to perform memory mapping of a file and implemented the ioctl command in the ROMFS filesystem. This is a requirement for eXecute In Place (XIP) support. * Add mmap() API with restricted capability (only for XIP support) * Extend ROMFS test at /examples/romfs to verify mmap() and XIP support. * Add support for Intel Hex format output using objcopy * Completed the basic port of the NXP LPC2148 on the mcu123.com board. The basic port includes successful booting, timer interrupts, serial console, succesfully passing the examples/ostest, and a NuttShell (NSH) configuration. * ARM architectures now support drivers/lowconsole.c 0.3.16 2008-10-10 Gregory Nutt * Added header files defining a common USB device controller architecture * Added USB device side driver for the LPC214x * Correct the frequency of system timer interrupts in the NXP LPC214x port (off by 20x in nuttx-0.3.15) * Add an option to set aside a separate stack for interrupt handling (ARM only). This is useful when memory is constrained, there are multiple tasks, and the interrupt stack requirement is high (as when USB is enabled). * Added USB serial class device side driver (emulates Prolific PL2303 serial-to-USB adaptor) * Add LPC214x USB serial configuration; Add examples/usbserial test * Added USB device side driver for the DM320 (untested at initial release) * Fixed an error in a previous (post 0.3.15) check-in that broke the LPC214x system timer. * Fixed serial driver bugs related to (1) open counts and (2) recognizing O_NONBLOCK on read. * Fixed an error in read(); it was not setting the errno on errors returned from the driver. 0.3.17 2008-10-28 Gregory Nutt * 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. 0.3.18 2008-11-16 Gregory Nutt * Added port for the STMicro STR71x processor and configuration for the Olimex STR-P711 board (STR71x testing is stalled because I have been unable to get OpenOCD to communicate with my JTAG wiggler on Linux). * Fix race condition workaround delay in LPC214X SPI logic. This was also the cause of the very bad MMC/SD performance. * Began port of the Hitachi SH-1 using the SH-1/US7032EVB1 board * Re-built all configurations that use SDCC and Zilog toolchains to make sure they still build (they didn't, but they do now). * Fixed several erroneous "list empty" checks in the CAN driver. * Hitachi SH-1 passes (reduced) examples/ostest; the examples/nsh test still fails. There are remaining instabilities that make the port un-usable. The nature of these is not understood; the behavior is that certain SH-1 instructions stop working as advertised. This could be a silicon problem, some pipeline issue that is not handled properly by the gcc 3.4.5 toolchain (which has very limit SH-1 support to begin with), or perhaps with the CMON debugger. At any rate, I have exhausted all of the energy that I am willing to put into this cool old processor for the time being. * Renamed configuration item CONFIG_PROC_STACK_SIZE as CONFIG_IDLETHREAD_STACKSIZE: It now only controls the size of the stack for the IDLE thread. Added CONFIG_USERMAIN_STACKSIZE: This is the size of stack used with the user_start() thread is created. The two stacks no longer have to be the same. * Add a loop device that converts a file into a block device. * Each NSH command can not be disabled through a configuration setting. All of these settings make the configuration of NSH potentially complex but also allow it to squeeze into very small memory footprints. * Added a block to character (BCH) driver. This is kind of the reverse of the loop device; it allows you access a block device like a character device. * Added strcasecmp() and strncasecmp() * NSH: Added the 'dd' command * NSH: Added the 'losetup' command * Fixed a FAT bug: After recent changes, it would mount a (invalid) FAT file system even if the medium is not formatted! * Corrected two important errors in 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. * Fixed a bug in getopt(). It would fail if on certain combinations of terminal argument types. 0.3.19 2008-xx-xx Gregory Nutt * Add poll() and select() APIs (in the initial check-in, these work only with character devices) * Add poll() methods to /dev/null, /dev/zero, pipes, fifos, and serial drivers. * Add examples/poll for testing poll() and select() * Fix hostile behavior of getc, fgetc, getchar, etc.: the serial driver was waiting for a full buffer of read data before return. This means that getc would stall when it needed to refill the input buffer. The old behavior (read full blocks) might be useful in other contexts, so it is still available within the driver as a configuration option. * Implement poll() and select() support for TCP/IP sockets * Fixed an important bug in the TCP/IP buffering logic. When TCP/IP read-ahead is enabled and not recv() is in-place when a TCP/IP packet is received, the packet is placed into a read-ahead buffer. However, the old contents of the read-ahead buffer were not being cleared and old data would contaminate the newly received buffer. * Implemented support for connection backlog. The size of the backlog is specified by the second argument of the standard listen() API. Hooks are provided to support poll()/select() waiting for connections, with a subsequent call to accept() to use the backlogged connection. * Fixed a minor bug in accept(). It should allow the address and addresslen values to be NULL
