NuttX-9.0.0
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
This is the first release of NuttX as Apache NuttX (Incubating) and represents our first major milestone as a Podling of the Apache Software Foundation's Incubator. This release is the culmination of nearly 6 months of hard work and includes several new architectures and drivers, and numerous improvements and bug fixes to the core RTOS, drivers, and networking subsystems.
|
|
|
|
* Major Changes to Core OS
|
|
* Bugfixes
|
|
- nxsem_wait_uninterruptible() now returns if the task is canceled.
|
|
- Fix a bug in pthread_condwait() that was improperly re-initializing the mutex.
|
|
- In sched_setpriority(), fix functions called inside a DEBUGASSERT that were eliminated when assertions are disable
|
|
|
|
* Compatibility Concerns
|
|
|
|
- The configuration option CONFIG_CAN_PASS_STRUCT is now removed. Previously, it was used (at the cost of breaking standards support) to support older versions of the SDCC compiler that couldn't pass structs/unions as functions' parameters. A newer version of the compiler has resolved the issue.
|
|
|
|
* Major Changes to Build System
