nuttx-0.1.0
^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the initial. This initial includes the complete NuttX RTOS
with support for the Linux user mode simulation and the TI TMS320C5471
(Arm7) processor. Partial support for the 87C52 is included.
This release has been verified on both the Linux user-mode and C5471
platforms using the test program under examples/ostest. Test results
for the C5471 can be found in arch/c5471/doc/test-results.txt.

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.

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.
It corrects a few minor problems, adds a few minor features, and
continues the integration of the ZiLOG Z18F and of the Pascal P-Code
add-on. This release is synchronized with the release of Pascal-0.1.2.
This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from February 10, 2008.
nuttx-0.3.9
^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the 21st release of NuttX. This is a minor future enhancement
release. This release includes support for the ZiLOG Z8Encore! micro-
controller. Also included is the initial framework for support for
the Z80, XTRS platform (http://www.tim-mann.org/xtrs.html).
This released has been verified only on the ZiLOG ZDS-II Z8Encore!
chip simulation.

* Fix error in stat() when used on the root directory
* Fixed a critical bug that effects the way that environment variables are shared amongst
pthreads.
* uIP port now supports multi-threaded, concurrent socket access. So, for example, one
thread can be reading from a socket while another is writing to the socket.
New features were also added:
* New OS APIs: chdir() and getcwd()
* The Nuttx shell (NSH) has been extended in many ways.
- New commands: mkfatfs, mkfifo, sleep, usleep, nice, sh, cd, and pwd commands

- New capabilities: Execution of commands in background, execution of simple scripts,
redirection of command output, last command status ($?)
- Now supports if-then[-else]-fi construct
- and other features as noted in the ChangeLog.
These changes were verified only on the Host simulator under Cygwin and under Linux and
also on the Neuros OSD (ARM9). Please report any errors to me.
This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from September 1, 2008.
nutt-0.3.14
^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the 26th release of NuttX. This release includes some important bugfixes as well
as a few new features. Critical bugs fixed include:
FAT FS:
* 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 still needed!!
* Fixed another FAT bug in implementation of FAT lseek; this prohibit correct
random access to large files.
Network:
* Corrected a critical bug that may prevent recvfrom from receiving packets from
most remote UDP port numbers.
* Corrected an error in multi-threaded socket handling in send() and sendto().
Outgoing data could overwrite incoming data.
* Corrected IP checksum calculation in ICMP and UDP message send logic.
* Corrected an error in send() timeout logic.
New features were also added:
Network:
* Added support for application access to ICMP protocol stacks; Added
ping request logic (net/uip).
* Added basic TFTP client logic (netutils/tftpc).
NuttShell (NSH):
* New commands: 'test', '[', 'ping', 'mkrd', 'xd', andTFTP 'get' and 'put'
commands (See the new NuttShell User Guide for additional information).
Other less critical bugs were also fixed and other less important features were
were added (See the ChangeLog for details).
These changes were verified only on the Neuros OSD (ARM9). Please report any errors to me.
This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from September 8, 2008.
nutt-0.3.15
^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the 27th release of NuttX. This release includes some new features:
* Adds support for the ROMFS filesystem
* ROMFS supports mmap() to provide eXecute In Place (XIP) capability
* NuttShell (NSH) can be configured to use ROMFS to provide a tiny read-only
filesystem with a startup script in /etc.
* 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.
These changes were verified only on the mcu123.com NXP LPC2148 board. Please report
any errors to me.
This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from September 20, 2008.
nutt-0.3.16
^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the 28th release of NuttX. This release includes the first support for
USB in NuttX. A set of USB APIs were added to support USB device controller
drivers and bindings to USB device class drivers. The form of the interface
was inspired by the Linux Gadget APIs.
At present USB device controller drivers are included for:
* The NXP LPC214x. This driver has been verified and is an early alpha
stage in quality.
* TI DM320. Coding for this driver is complete but it is completely untested
as of this release.
A controller-independent class driver is also included for:
* USB serial class device driver (emulates the Prolific PL2303 serial-to-USB
adaptor). This drver has only been verified with the Linux host PL2303
driver.
Other new features include:
* 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).
A few bugs were also fixed:
* Fixed the frequency of system timer interrupts in the NXP LPC214x port
(off by 20x in nuttx-0.3.15)
* 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.
These changes were verified only on the mcu123.com NXP LPC2148 board using with
a Linux host. Please report any errors to me.
This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from Octobor 10, 2008.
UPDATE
^^^^^^
This release does not build for the ARM target when USB is disabled. Here is the fix:

nuttx-0.3.17
^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the 29th release of NuttX. This release includes the additional support for
USB in NuttX. The following new features were added:
* 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.
This is an early alpha release of these drivers. At present they only work with
debug features enabled so there are probably some race conditions that occur only
with debug features disabled (anyone out there with a USB analyzer? I would love
to know what is happening).
Several important bugs were also fixed in the FAT file system, USB serial driver and
NXP LPC214x USB controller driver (see the ChangeLog for details).
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. Please report any errors to me.
This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from Octobor 28, 2008.
nuttx-0.3.18
^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the 30th release of NuttX. This release includes two partially completed
ports, several new features, and a couple of important bug fixes. The two partially
completed ports are:
* The STMicro STR71x processor and configuration for the Olimex STR-P711
board.
* The Hitachi SH-1 using the SH1_LCEVB1 (SH-1/US7032EVB1) board
Progress on these ports is stalled (as detailed in the ChangeLog).
The new features focus primarily on management of block devices and extensions of
the NuttShell (NSH). These 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.
* 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:
* Fixed 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.
This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from November 16, 2008.
nuttx-0.3.19
^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the 31st release of NuttX. This release includes the following new feature:
* Add poll() and select() APIs that may be used to monitor for data
availability on character devices or TCP/IP sockets.
* Implemented support TCP/IP connection backlog. This allows select to wake-up
on new connections to a listener socket.
* Added definition of a framebuffer driver and implement framebuffer drivers
for the simulated platform and the TI DM320 (untested as of the inital check-in).
* Partially developed a graphics framework based on the framebuffer drivers,
however, this will not be ready for use for a few more release. Currently
this includes only a few color conversion routines and some rasteizing functions.
A tiny windowing system is under development but not ready for check-in yet.
* Added support for fixed precision math.
* Added support for outgoing multicast packets.
Several bugs were fixed, the most important of which are:
* 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.
* Changed the behavior of the serial driver read. It now returns data as it
is available rather than waiting for the full requested read size. This
makes functions like fgetc() work much more smoothly.
These changes were verified only on the Neuros OSD (ARM9) using a Linux development
environment. Please report any errors to me.

nuttx-0.4.0
^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the 32nd release of NuttX. This release adds graphics support and a tiny
windowing subsystem. That new graphics subystem is documented at
http://nuttx.sourceforge.net/NXGraphicsSubsystem.html. No other substantial changes
were made.
These changes were verified only on the NuttX simulation platform with X11 windows
simulating a device framebuffer. Please report any errors to me.
The version number was bumped up to 0.4.0 in part to reflect the new graphics subsystem,
but also to recognize the NuttX is approaching complete functionality. In the 0.3.x
versions, network support was added, Pascal P-code runtime support was added, FAT and
ROMFS filesystems were added, MMC/SD and USB device support were added. There were
also numerous extensions to the NuttShell, NuttX APIs, and architecture ports.
This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from December 6, 2008.
nuttx-0.4.1
^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the 33rd release of NuttX. This is a minor bugfix release. The primary reason
for this release is to correct numerous build errors that have accumulated for the ZiLOG
ZDS-II based targets. All ZDS-II targets now build correctly (but have not been re-tested).
In addition to platform-specific build failures, release also adds the following features
which were not tested as of the time of the release:
* Board support fot the ZiLog ez80Acclaim! ez80f910200zco Development Kit
* ZiLOG eZ80F91 EMAC driver
These changes were verified only on the NuttX simulation platform. Please report any errors
to me.
This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from Februrary 6, 2009.
nuttx-0.4.2
^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the 34th release of NuttX. This release adds no new OS features but does include
support for two new architectures:
* ez80Acclaim! Basic support has been integrated and verified for the ez80f910200zcog-d
board (eZ80F91-based). That basic support includes timer interrupts and serial
console. Ongoing work includes an EMAC driver that should be integrated for
the next release nuttx-0.4.2.
eZ80Acclaim! support has been in the code base for some time, but has only just
been integrated due to toolchain issues.
* Renesas M16C/20. Support for the Renesas SKP16C20 board has been included in
the NuttX source tree. However, as the eZ80Acclaim!, testing and integration
of that port is stalled due to toolchain issues.
These changes were verified only on the ZiLOG eZ80910200zcog-d board. Please report any errors
to me.
This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from Februrary 28, 2009.
nuttx-0.4.3
^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the 35th release of NuttX. This release one important new OS feature and corrects
and extends the eZ80 port:
* Priority Inheritance. The basic NuttX waiting logic was extended to
support priority inheritance. See the NuttX User Manual for further
information: http://www.nuttx.org/NuttxUserGuide.html#priorityinheritance.
* ez80Acclaim! Corrected several critical, show-stopping bugs on that
platform including: Errors in the serial driver intrrupts and an error
in the eZ80 table,.
* eZ80Acclaim!: Completed integration of the eZ80F91 EMAC driver.
These changes were verified only on the ZiLOG eZ80910200zcog-d board and on Cygwin-based
simulation platform in various configurations. Please report any errors to me.
This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from March 13, 2009.
nuttx-0.4.4
^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the 36th release of NuttX. This release focuses on bugfixes and extending
and verifying certain networking features.
* Important bugs were fixed in NSH, UDP checksum calculation, UDP bind()
behavior for port==0, the eZ80Acclaim! EMAC driver, Z80 interrupt handling,
and in the C libraries.
* Testing was extended to further verify the tiny webserver, DHCPD, wget(),
and sendmail.
See the Changelog for a detailed description of these changes.
These changes were verified only on the ZiLOG eZ80910200zcog-d board using the
ZDS-II toolchain in Cygwin-based environment. Please report any errors to me.
This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from March 29, 2009.
nuttx-0.4.5
^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the 37th release of NuttX. This release focuses on a few new features.
* The basic port for the FreeScale ARM920T i.MX1 processor on the
Freescale MX1ADS board. Coding is complete for this port, but it is
has not yet fully integrated
* Extended I2C and SPI interface definitions
* Add basic support for C++ applications. Very simple C++ applications
can now be built against NuttX without any external libraries. At
present, only the most primitive C++ programs are supported, but it
is hoped that this support will be extended in future releases.
See the Changelog for a detailed description of these changes.
This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from April 19, 2009.
nuttx-0.4.6
^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the 38th release of NuttX. The release features support for the Micromint
Eagle-100 development board. This board is based around, the Luminary LM3S6918 MCU.
This is the first ARM Cortex-M3 architecture supported by Nuttx. This initial, basic
port includes timer and serial console with configurations to execute the NuttX OS
test and to run the NuttShell (NSH). Work is still underway on this port and current
plans are to have I2C, SSI, MMC/SD, and and Ethernet driver in the 0.4.7 release.
Additional work was done on the MXADS i.MX1 port, however, that work has been set
aside until I complete work on the Eagle-100 (I also need to come up with a 3V power
supply).
Other changes in this release include: Extensions to the SPI interface definition
in order to handle 9-bit interfaces to displays. Several bugs were fixed (see the
ChangeLog for a complete list of changes).
This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from May 19, 2009.
nuttx-0.4.7
^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the 39th release of NuttX. This release focuses on cleaning up and
extending the Eagle100/LM3S6918 port released in nuttx-0.4.6 and on improved
MMC/SD support. New features include:
o Improved reliably and additional drivers for the Eagle-100 board (LM3S6918
ARM Cortex-M3). Additional drivers include Ethernet, SSI, and support for
the on-board LEDs and microSD cards.
o The SPI-based MMC/SD driver was extended to support SDHC Version 2.xx cards.
In addition, this release includes several important bugfixes for the LM3S6918,
the LPC2148, the SPI-based MMC/SD driver, and to FAT32. See the ChangeLog for
details of these bugfixes.
This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from May 29, 2009.
nuttx-0.4.8
^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the 40th release of NuttX. This release adds:
o Support for the Olimex STRP711 board. That board is based on the STMicro
STR711 MCU (ARM7TDMI). Integration is complete on the basic port (boot logic,
system time, serial console). Two configurations have been verified: (1) The
board boots and passes the OS test with console output visible on UART0, and
the NuttShell (NSH) is fully functional with interrupt driven serial console.
An SPI driver is available but untested (because the Olimex card slot appears
to accept only MMC cards; I have only SD cards). Additional needed: USB and
driver, MMC integration.
o Support for the CodeSourcery and devkitARM Windows-native GNU toolchains.
Makefiles have been modified for the LM3S6918, LPC2148, and STR711 to support
these toolchains under Cygwin.
This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from June 13, 2009.
nuttx-0.4.9
^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the 41st release of NuttX. This release adds:
* Support for a new binary format call NXFLAT that can be used to
execute separately linked programs in place in a file system.
See http://www.nuttx.org/NuttXNxFlat.html.
* Several important bugs were files related to networking and ROMFS
(see the ChangeLog for a complete list).
This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from June 26, 2009.
nuttx-0.4.10
^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the 42nd release of NuttX. This released focused on the port of Jeff
Poskanzer's THTTPD HTTP server (see http://acme.com/software/thttpd/.). As of
the 0.4.10 release, that port is still not fully complete and functional.
However, numerous related bug-fixes and functional additions for THTTPD were
added:
* Several new standard C-library functions (fileno, strstr, strpbrk, fcntl).
* Improved and extended timing APIs (mktime, gmtime, gmtime_r, gettimeofday,
localtime, localtime_r, and strftime)
* Networking enhancements: recvfrom and accept now work with non-blocking
sockets.
* NXFLAT extensions (exec)
* Pattern matching logic.
* And miscellaneous bug fixes (see the ChangeLog for details).
This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from August 8, 2009.
nuttx-0.4.11
^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the 43rd release of NuttX. This release of NuttX incorporates the
verified port of Jeff Poskanzer's THTTPD HTTP server (see http://acme.com/software/thttpd/.).
Many of the key features of THTTPD have been tested on the Micromint Eagle-100
development board (Cortex-M3). These tests verify:
* Serving of files from any file system
* Execution of CGI executable. This release supports execution of
NXFLAT executables on a ROMFS file system (http://www.nuttx.org/NuttXNxFlat.html)
A standard CGI interface is used: Information is pasted to the CGI program via POST
commands and via environment variables. CGI socket I/O is redirected to stdin and stdout
so that the CGI program only need to printf() to send its content back to the HTTP
client.
Another value to this THTTPD integration effort has been that THTTPD has provided a very
good test bed for finding NuttX networking bugs. Several very critical networking bugs
have been fixed with this 0.4.11 release (see the ChangeLog for details). Networking
throughput has also been greatly improved. Anyone using NuttX networking should consider
upgrading to this release.
This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from September 16, 2009
nuttx-0.4.12
^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the 44th release of NuttX. This release adds basic support for the STMicro STM32,
Cortex-M3 MCU. The specific port is to the STMicro STM3210E-EVAL development board based
around the STM32F103ZET6 MCU. Some highlights of this port:
* This basic port includes boot-up logic, interrupt driven serial console, and system
timer interrupts.
* Includes a basic STMicro RIDE7 project that can be used to perform basic STM32
board bring-up (due to RIDE7 size limitations, it cannot be used for the full NuttX
bring-up).
* Working, Tested Configurations: the NuttX OS test and the NuttShell (NSH) example.
This basic STM32 port will be extended in the 0.4.13 NuttX release. Functionality needed
for complete STM32 support includes: USB device driver, LCD driver and NX bringup on the
development board's display and MicroSD support. An SPI driver and a DMA support was included
in this 0.4.12 release, but is not yet tested.
This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from October 17, 2009
nuttx-0.4.13
^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the 45th release of NuttX. The release extends the support for the STMicro
STM32 microcontroller. Minimal support for the STM3210E-EVAL development board based
around the STM32F103ZET6 MCU was released in NuttX-0.4.12. This release adds:
* A simple interface definition to support some FLASH, EEPROM, NVRAM, etc. devices.
* Verified SPI operation using driver for SPI based FLASH parts M25P64 and M25P128.
* Improved Cortex-M3 context switching. This should improve context switching
performance be 2x in certain cases.
* Added a USB device-side driver for the STM32. This is an early release of a
very complex driver; some bugs are expected.
* The USB driver has been verified against the USB serial device class driver.
There is at least one known outstanding issue (see the full bug description in
the TODO list).
This release also corrects some important bugs in the early STM32 release:
* Fixed several errors the prevented operation of NuttX on an STM32 development
board using USART2 as the serial console.
* Fixed and optimization-dependent race condition in the clock initialization.
* Fixed a critical bug in the interrupt control logic that could cause interrupt
operations to failed used for interrupts in a certain range.

nuttx-4.14
^^^^^^^^^^
This is the 46th release of NuttX. The release extends the support for the STMicro
STM32 microcontroller. Minimal support for the STM3210E-EVAL development board based
around the STM32F103ZET6 MCU was released in NuttX-0.4.12 and extended in Nuttx-0.4.13
to include initial USB support. This completes the STM32F103ZET6 and adds:
New Generic RTOS Features:
* Added generic support that can be included in any block driver to provide
read-ahead buffering and write buffering for improved driver performance.
* Added a generic worker thread that can used to defer processing from an
interrupt to a task.
* Defined a generic SD/SDIO interface can can be bound to a MMC/SD or SDIO
driver to orovide SDIO support.
* Implemented a an SDIO-based MMC/SD driver using this new SDIO interface
New STM32 Features:
* Add support to configure an STM32 input GPIO to generate an EXTI interrupt.
* Added support for buttons on the STM3210E-EVAL board.
* Implemented an STM32 version of the common the SDIO interface.
* Added a configuration to exercise the STM32 with the USB mass storage
device class example.
This release also corrects some important bugs in the early STM32 release:
* Correct error handling in the mount() logic.
* Fixed several STM32 DMA-related issues. Integrated and debugged STM32 DMA
functionality that was added in 0.4.12.
* Fixed several bugs in the STM32 USB device-side driver.
NOTE: This version, 4.14, is equivalent to what would have been called 0.4.14
to follow 0.4.13. The zero has been eliminated from the front of the version
number to avoid confusion about the state of development: Some have interpreted
the leading zero to mean that the code is in some way unstable. That was not
the intent. Beginning in January 2010, I will switch to the 2010.nn versioning
as many others have done to avoid such confusion.

nuttx-5.0
^^^^^^^^^
This is 47th release of NuttX and the successor to nuttx-4.14. This
major revision number has been incremented to indicate that an
incompatibility with previous nuttx releases has been introduced. This
version adopts standard fixed width integer names as specified by the
ANSII C99 standard. The core logic of NuttX is older than that
standard and did not conform to it.
If you have applications running on nuttx-4.14, those applications
should continue to build and execute without problem on nuttx-5.0.
However, if you have device drivers or other OS-internal logic, you
will probably have to make some minor changes to your code to use
this version. Below is a summary of those changes:
o If you include sys/types.h to get the non-standard, fixed width
integer types (uint32, uint16, ubyte, etc.), that is no longer
necessary.
o Instead, you will need to include stdint.h where the new fixed width
integer types are defined (uint32_t, uint16_t, uint8_t, etc.).
o You will have to change all occurrences of the following types:
uint32 -> uint32_t
uint16 -> uint16_t
ubyte -> uint8_t
uint8 -> uint8_t
sint32 -> int32_t
sint16 -> int16_t
sint8 -> int8_t
o In addition, the non-standard type 'boolean' must replaced with the
standard type 'bool'. The type definition for 'bool' is in stdbool.h
This change in typing caused small changes to many, many files. It was
verified that all configurations in the release still build correctly
(other than the SDCC-based configurations). Regression testing was
performed on a few configurations, but it is possible that minor build
issues still exist (if you encounter any, please let me know and I will
help you to fix them).
In the course of the regression testing, several important bugs unrelated
to the type changes were found and corrected.
o Fixed an important error in the RX FIFO handling logic of the LM3S6918
Ethernet driver.
o Corrected the handling of TCP sequence numbers in the TCP stack.
o And other less important bugs as detailed in the ChangeLog.
The primary focus of this release was standards compatibility, but a
few new features were added including a (1) Flash Translation Layer (FTL)
that will support filesystems on a FLASH device and (2) partial ports
for the STM32F107VC and HCS12 C9S12NE64 MCUs. Those ports are very
incomplete as of this writing.

nuttx-5.1
^^^^^^^^^
This is the 48th release of NuttX. This release adds support for two new
MCU architectures in various states of development:
o AT91SAM3U (http://www.atmel.com/products/at91/sam3landing.asp?family_id=605)
This release adds support for the SAM3U-EK development board with the
AT91SAM3U4E MCU (http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/product_card_mcu.asp?part_id=4562).
As with most NuttX architecutre releases, the release will be rolled out in
two parts: A basic port and an extended port.
NuttX-5.1 includes the basic port for the SAM3U-EK board. This release
passes the NuttX OS test and is proven to have a valid OS implementation.
It supports the basic boot-up, serial console and timer interrupts. A
configuration to support the NuttShell is also included.
The extended port will also include support for SDIO-based SD cards and
USB device (and possible LCD support). These extensions may or may not
happen by the Nuttx 5.2 release as my plate is kind of full now.
o LPC3131 (http://ics.nxp.com/products/lpc3000/lpc313x.lpc314x.lpc315x/)
This release also adds the complete implementation of the basic port for
the NXP LPC3131 MCU on the Embedded Artists EA3131 board
(http://www.embeddedartists.com/products/kits/lpc3131_kit.php). That port,
unfortunately has stalled due to tools issues. Those tool issues have
been resolved and I am confident that the verified basic port will be
available in NuttX-5.2.
The extended release will follow and should include SDIO-based SD card
support and device USB.
A few additional features and bugfixes of a minor nature were also incorporated
as detailed in the ChangeLog.
nuttx-5.2
^^^^^^^^^
This is the 49th release of NuttX. This release completes the verification of
the basic port for the NXP LPC3131 MCU on the Embedded Artists EA3131 board
(http://www.embeddedartists.com/products/kits/lpc3131_kit.php). This basic
port includes basic boot-up, serial console, and timer interrupts. This port
has been verified on the using the NuttX OS test and includes a working
implementation of the NuttShell (NSH).
An extended release will follow and should include SDIO-based SD card
support and device USB.
nuttx-5.3
^^^^^^^^^
This is the 50th release of NuttX. This release suport for one new achitecture:
* A basic port for the NXP LPC2378 MCU on the Olimex-LPC2378 development board
was contributed by Rommel Marcelo.
And extensions to two existing architures:
* David Hewson contributed a dual-speed (full/high) USB device-side driver
for the NXP LPC3131 on the Embedded Artists EA3131 development board.
* A DMA driver and a high speed MCI driver for the Atmel AT91SAM3U are
included (but not fully tested in this release).
Two important bugfix was also included:
* An important fix to the USB mass storage driver was contributed by
David Hewson.
* A serious error in the AT91SAM3U PIO handling was fixed.
nuttx-5.4
^^^^^^^^^
This is the 51st release of NuttX. This release includes one new, important
extension to th NX graphics system (See http://www.nuttx.org/NXGraphicsSubsystem.html).
NX was develop a couple years back on hardware that supported only framebuffer
devices, that is, video hardware with video memory directly converts the memroy
content to video. However, most MCUs that NuttX focuses on do not support such
video memory; rather, that typically only support LCDs via parallel or serial
interfaces.
This release of NuttX extends NX so that now renders directly to the LCD device
via its serial or parallel interface. No in-memory copy of the screen memory
need be maintained so this solution should also work in MCUs with very limited
SRAM.
This initial release of this feature includes the verified NX extensions plus
a driver for the HX8347, 16-bit parallel LCD. This LCD supports 16-bit RGB
(5:6:5).
nuttx-5.5
^^^^^^^^^
This is the 52nd release of NuttX. This release includes one new port, some
new drivers and some important bugfixes:
* NuttX was ported to the Luminary/TI LM3S6965 Ethernet Evaluation Kit.
At present, that port includes an OS test configuration and a NuttShell
(NSH) configuration with telnet support.
MMC/SD and Networking support are provided but not thoroughly verified
in this release: Current development efforts are focused on porting the
NuttX window system (NX) to work with the Evaluation Kits OLED display.
* A NuttX Ethernet driver for the Microchip ENC28J60 SPI Ethernet chip is
available in the source tree (but has not yet been fully verified because
I haven't properly connected it to hardware yet).
* The Olimex STR-P711 NuttX port was extended to support the ENC28J60 and
some new networking configurations were added. The ENC28J60 has not
been tested on the STR-P711, however, because of hardware issues (I don't
think the USB powered board provides enough power for the ENC28J60 and
I don't have the right wall wart yet).
Along the way, external interrupt support (XTI) was added to the STMicro
STR-P711 port and some important bugs were fixed in the STR-P711 SPI
driver.
* Added (optional) floating point support for printf() (contributed by
Yolande Cates).
* Corrected an important UDP reference counting error. It was not a serious
error, but it trigger an assertion was IS a serious error.
nuttx-5.6
^^^^^^^^^
This is the 53rd release of NuttX. This release includes one several new drivers
for existing NuttX ports:
* This port adds support for the RiT displays P14201 4-bpp, greyscale OLED.
4-bpp greyscale support was integrated into the NX graphics sub-system and
verified using the TI/Luminary LP3S6965 Ethernet Evaluation Kit.
* The MP25Px driver was extended for the M24P1 FLASH part (see NOTE).
* An I2C driver and (basic) SPI driver were added for the NXP LPC313x port.
The I2C interface definition was extended to efficiently handle multiple I2C
transfers (See NOTE).
NOTE: Contributed by David Hewson.
As well as a few, important USB-related bugfixes (See the ChangeLog for details).
This release also includes the beginnings of a port for the NXP LPC1768 MCU. However,
it is too early for that port to be useful (stay tuned for a future announce of the
availability of the LPC1768 port).
nuttx-5.7
^^^^^^^^^
This is the 54th release of NuttX. This release adds basic support for one new
ARM Cortex-M3 architecture:
* Added support for NXP LPC1768 MCU as provided on the Nucleus 2G board from
2G Engineering (http://www.2g-eng.com).
* Some initial files for the LPC17xx family were released in NuttX 5.6, but the
first functional release for the NXP LPC1768/Nucleus2G occured with NuttX 5.7.
* That initial basic release included timer interrupts and a serial console and was
verified using the NuttX OS test.
* That release includes a verified NuttShell (NSH) configuration
(see the http://www.nuttx.org/NuttShell.html).
* Also included are unverified SPI and USB device drivers.
Further efforts include: (1) development of a DMA support library, (2) SPI-based MMC/SD
support, and (3) verification of the USB driver. Watch for announcement of the completed
LPC1768 port expected in NuttX-5.8.
