This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from July 2, 2007. nuttx-0.3.0 ^^^^^^^^^^^ This is the 12th release of NuttX. This release includes the initial integration of a network subsystem and the uIP TCP/IP stack into NuttX (see http://www.sics.se/~adam/uip/index.php/Main_Page). Also included is a device driver for the Davicom DM90x0 ethernet controller. This integration is very preliminary. Only a small portion of the network functionality has been integrated and there are a number of open issues (see the TODO file). The network subsystem is pre-alpha at this point in time. I expect that it will stabilize and mature over the next few releases. The baseline functionality of NuttX continues to mature and remains at post-beta (as long as the network is not used). See the ChangeLog for a complete list of changes. This release has been verified only on the Neuros OSD (DM320 ARM9) platform using the DM90x0 driver. This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from November 6, 2007. nuttx-0.3.1 ^^^^^^^^^^^ This is the 13th release of NuttX and the second release containing the integration of a network subsystem and the uIP TCP/IP, UDP, and ICMP stacks into NuttX (see http://www.sics.se/~adam/uip/index.php/Main_Page). Many network-related problems have been fixed and the implementation has matured significantly. However, the level of network reliability is probably still at the pre-alpha or early level. It is sufficiently complete that you may begin to perform some network integration and is exepcted to achieve beta level of reliability over the next few releases. The baseline functionality of NuttX continues to mature and remains at post-beta (as long as the network is not used). See the ChangeLog for a complete list of changes. This release has been verified only on the Neuros OSD (DM320 ARM9) platform using the DM90x0 driver. This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from November 19, 2007. nuttx-0.3.2 ^^^^^^^^^^^ This is the 14th release of NuttX and the 3rd release containing the integration of a network subsystem and the uIP TCP/IP, UDP, and ICMP stacks into NuttX (see http://www.sics.se/~adam/uip/index.php/Main_Page). Many network-related problems have been fixed and the implementation has matured significantly. This release consists of: o TCP-related bug-fixes o TCP performance improvements o Initial UDP integration o Initial uIP micro webserver integration See the ChangeLog for a complete list of changes. The level of network reliability is at alpha level is expected to achieve beta level of reliability over the next few releases. The baseline functionality of NuttX continues to mature and remains at post-beta. This release has been verified only on the Neuros OSD (DM320 ARM9) platform using the DM90x0 driver. This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from November 23, 2007. nuttx-0.3.3 ^^^^^^^^^^^ This is the 15th release of NuttX and the 4th release containing the integration of a network subsystem and the uIP TCP/IP, UDP, and ICMP stacks into NuttX (see http://www.sics.se/~adam/uip/index.php/Main_Page). Many network-related problems have been fixed and the implementation has matured significantly. This release consists of: o TCP-related bug-fixes for disconnecting sockets o Correction of some TCP read-ahead logic o TCP performance improvements o Misc. additions and cleanup (See the ChangeLog for a complete list of changes). The level of network reliability is at an early beta release level. The baseline functionality of NuttX continues to mature and remains at post-beta. Open network-related issues include only: o Some minor unimplemented BSD socket functionality, o Thread safety issues: the same socket cannot be used concurrently on different threads. o Pending design changes necessary to support multiple network interfaces. o IPv6 support is incomplete. This release has been verified only on the Neuros OSD (DM320 ARM9) platform using the DM90x0 driver. Any feedback for improving the network reliability/performance would be greatly appreciated. This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from November 28, 2007. nuttx-0.3.4 ^^^^^^^^^^^ This is the 16th release of NuttX and the 5th release containing the integration of a network subsystem and the uIP TCP/IP, UDP, and ICMP stacks into NuttX (see http://www.sics.se/~adam/uip/index.php/Main_Page). This release is primarily a bug-fix release. New features include only: o TELNET front-end to NSH, o DHCPC server functionality, and o C5471 Ethernet driver. Numerous network related problems were fixed related to DHCPC, UDP input processing, UDP broadcast, send timeouts, and bad compilation when uIP is compiled at high levels of optimization. The level of network reliability is at a strong beta release level. The baseline functionality of NuttX continues to mature and remains at post-beta or production level. Parts of this release were verified only on the Neuros OSD (DM320 ARM9) platform using the DM90x0 Ethernet driver and other parts on the Spectrum Digital C5471 EVM using the C5471 Ethernet driver. Any feedback about bugs or suggestions for improving the network reliability/performance would be greatly appreciated. This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from December 10, 2007. nuttx-0.3.5 ^^^^^^^^^^^ This is the 17th release of NuttX this release is primarily a bug-fix release and intended to synchronize with the current CVS contents. See the ChangeLog for a detailed list of changes and fixes. This release were verified only on the Spectrum Digital C5471 EVM using the C5471 Ethernet driver. Any feedback about bugs or suggestions for improvement would be greatly appreciated. This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from December 18, 2007. nuttx-0.3.6 ^^^^^^^^^^^ This is the 18th release of NuttX. This release contains on a few changes. The primary purpose of this release is to synchronize with the release of the pascal-0.1.0 add-on package. This release of NuttX includes the following changes: * Fixes for use with SDCC compiler * Added a simulated z80 target (arch/z80) * Fix deadlock errors when using stdio but with no buffering * Add support for the add-on Pascal P-Code interpreter (pcode/) (see the pascal-0.1.0 package) This release were verified only on the simulated Z80 and and host simulation targets. As usual, any feedback about bugs or suggestions for improvement would be greatly appreciated. This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from January 6, 2007. ==== There was an error in the initial 0.3.6 release that prevented a successful build unless the Pascal add-on was present. The tarball was patched to include the fix. Make sure that you download the nuttx-0.3.6.1.tar.gz version to avoid this problem. nuttx-0.3.7 ^^^^^^^^^^^ This is the 19th release of NuttX. This release includes the preliminary port of NuttX to the ZiLOG z16f 16-bit microcontroller. This port was verified using the ZiLOG z16f2800100zcog Development and the ZiLOG ZDS-II toolchain. See http://www.zilog.com for further information. I emphasize that this is a preliminary release of the z16f port and is only alpha or, perhaps, pre-alpha quality as of this writing. There are a list of known issues in the TODO file in the root of the NuttX directory. The overall quality of NuttX (excluding the z16f port) continues to improve beyond the late beta level. The z16f port required numerous changes to NuttX to handle: * NEAR and FAR addressing, and * Use of a Windows native toolchain in a Cygwin build environment. In addition to the z16f port, at least one very critical bug was found and corrected in NuttX: The thread-specific errno value of one task was being randomly trashed when a different thread exitted. This release were verified on the ZiLOG z16f2800100zcog, Neuros OSD (ARM9), and the simulation platforms. As usual, any feedback about bugs or suggestions for improvement would be greatly appreciated. This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from January 31, 2008. nuttx-0.3.8 ^^^^^^^^^^^ This is the 20th release of NuttX. This is a minor bugfix release.
