The goal is to provide implementations of most standard POSIX OS interfaces
|
|
to support a rich, multi-threaded development environment for deeply embedded
|
|
processors.
|
|
</p>
|
|
NON-GOALS: (1) It is not a goal to provide the rich level of OS
|
|
features like those provided with Linux.
|
|
Small footprint is more important than features.
|
|
Standard compliance is more important than small footprint.
|
|
(2) There is no MMU-based support for processes.
|
|
At present, NuttX assumes a flat address space.

NuttX strives to achieve a high degree of standards compliance.
|
|
The primary governing standards are POSIX and ANSI standards.
|
|
Additional standard APIs from Unix and other common RTOS's are
|
|
adopted for functionality not available under these standards
|
|
or for functionality that is not appropriate for the deeply-embedded
|
|
RTOS (such as <code>fork()</code>).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Because of this standards conformance, software developed under other
|
|
standard OSs (such as Linux) should port easily to NuttX.

from the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=189573">SourceForge</a>

website.
|
|
The change log associated with the release is available <a href="#currentrelease">here</a>.

Unreleased changes after this release are available in CVS.

|
These unreleased changes are listed <a href="#pendingchanges">here</a>.

<p>
|
|
The nuttx-0.3.13 release includes some important bug fixes as well as a few new features.
|
|
Bugs fixed include:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Fixed problems with Cygwin-based console input. NSH now works with the Cygwin simulator.</li>
|
|
<li>sched_get_priority_max/min returned error on SCHED_RR.</li>
|
|
<li>Corrected detection of End-of-File in fgets().</li>
|
|
<li>Fixed an error in opendir() that could cause an assertion to fail inappropriately.</li>
|
|
<li>Corrected an error in the FAT that caused files opened for writing with O_APPEND to fail.</li>
|
|
<li>Fix error in getopt() when called with argc==1.</li>
|
|
<li>Fix error in stat() when used on the root directory.</li>
|
|
<li>Fixed a critical bug that effects the way that environment variables are shared amongst
|
|
pthreads.</li>
|
|
<li>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.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
New features were also added:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>New OS APIs: chdir() and getcwd().</li>
|
|
<li>The Nuttx shell (NSH) has been extended in many ways:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>New commands: mkfatfs, mkfifo, sleep, usleep, nice, sh, cd, and pwd commands
|
|
<li>New memory inspection commands and heap usage commands
|
|
<li>New capabilities: Execution of commands in background, execution of simple scripts,
|
|
redirection of command output, last command status ($?)
|
|
<li>Now supports if-then[-else]-fi construct
|
|
<li>and other features as noted in the ChangeLog.
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|

|
|
As usual, any feedback about bugs or suggestions for improvement would be greatly appreciated.

This is a tougher environment.
|
|
In this case, the Windows native toolchain is unaware of the the
|
|
Cygwin <i>sandbox</i> and, instead, operates in the native Windows environment.
|
|
The primary difficulties with this are:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Paths</b>.
|
|
Full paths for the native toolchain must follow Windows standards.
|
|
For example, the path <code>/home/my\ name/nuttx/include</code> my have to be
|
|
converted to something like <code>'C:\cygwin\home\my name\nuttx\include'</code>
|
|
to be usable by the toolchain.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Fortunately, this conversion is done simply using the <code>cygpath</code> utility.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Symbolic Links</b>
|
|
NuttX depends on symbolic links to install platform-specific directories in the build system.
|
|
On Linux, true symbolic links are used.
|
|
On Cygwin, emulated symbolic links are used.
|
|
Unfortunately, for native Windows applications that operate outside of the
|
|
Cygwin <i>sandbox</i>, these symbolic links cannot be used.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The NuttX make system works around this limitation by copying the platform
|
|
specific directories in place.
|
|
These copied directories make work a little more complex, but otherwise work well.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
At present, on the Zilog Z16F port uses a native Windows toolchain
|
|
(the Zilog ZDS-II toolchain).

The primary environmental dependency of NuttX are (1) GNU make,
|
|
(2) bash scripting, and (3) Linux utilities (such as sed).
|
|
If you have other platforms that support GNU make or make
|
|
utilities that are compatible with GNU make, then it is very
|
|
likely that NuttX would work in that environment as well (with some
|
|
porting effort). If GNU make is not supported, then some significant
|
|
modification of the Make system would be required.

|
|
|
pascal-0.1.2 2008-02-10 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>

|
|
* FAT FS now uses position variable in struct file. This simplifies operations
|
|
like ftell().
|
|

|
|
* 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.
|
|

|
|
* 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.
