| NuttX-6.15 |
| ---------- |
| |
| The 82nd release of NuttX, Version 6.15, was made on February 12, 2012, |
| and is available for download from the SourceForge website. Note |
| that release consists of two tarballs: nuttx-6.15.tar.gz and |
| apps-6.15.tar.gz. Both may be needed (see the top-level nuttx/README.txt |
| file for build information). |
| |
| This release corresponds with SVN release number: r4387 |
| |
| New features and extended functionality: |
| |
| * General Drivers: Add support for (29-bit) extended CAN IDs. Add an |
| infrastructure to support battery drivers. Add a driver for MAX17040x |
| battery "fuel gauge". Add support for Composite USB drivers (in |
| particular for a CDC/ACM with MSC USB composite driver). |
| |
| Added a new RAM logging driver. This will allow debug output into |
| a RAM buffer associated with a character driver at /dev/ramlog. |
| Added the new command 'dmesg' to NSH that can be used to dump the |
| current contents of the log. This is useful for systems that do not |
| have the usual serial console (for example, if you only have a |
| Telnet console with NSH). |
| |
| * Networking: Add a lower level, primitive socket interface. Telnet |
| driver: |
| |
| A New Telnet daemon was created. It wraps a Telnet session within a |
| character driver that can serve as a "controlling terminal." The |
| Telnet session will then be inherited by tasks created from the |
| Telnet session and the stdin/stdout from the created task will |
| still go through the same Telnet connection. |
| |
| * STM32 Drivers. PWM driver pulse count was limited to 128; now is |
| (essentially) unlimited. Add support for (29-bit) extended CAN IDs. |
| Add support for I2C3. The SDIO driver is (mostly) verified on the |
| STM32 F4 platforms. |
| |
| * LPC17xx Drivers. Extended the CAN driver so that the TSEG1 and TSEG2 |
| bit times can be set via the NuttX configuration. Add support for |
| (29-bit) extended CAN IDs. |
| |
| * PIC32 Drivers. The PIC32 Ethernet driver is code complete (but still |
| untested). |
| |
| * FTPD. Add a new FTP server daemon. This is based loosely on |
| the hwport_ftpd library provided by Jaehyuk Cho. |
| |
| * Library: Add support for on_exit(). Implemented tcsetattr() and |
| tcgetattr(). Moved the old, too-smart fgets() to a new application |
| library function called readline(). Dumbed down the original fgets(). |
| Add strcasestr(), avsprintf(), inet_ntop(), and inet_pton(). |
| Add support to enable or disable debug output. |
| |
| * Build system: Support for building a 32-bit simulation executable on |
| a 64-bit Linux machine. Correct a dependency issue in the arch/*/src/board |
| directory. |
| |
| Bugfixes: |
| |
| * System: Correct PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER |
| |
| * FAT: Fix an error in the FAT statfs() reported by David Sidrane. |
| |
| * STM32: Fix clock frequencies for APB2 timers. Correct AFIO register |
| offset. |
| |
| * PIC32. Correct GPIOs used for LEDs on the Sure PIC32MX board. |
| |
| * NSH. Wait for a USB connection if a USB serial class is used to |
| interface with the host. |
| |
| Additional bugfixes, name changes, and other differences as detailed in the |
| ChangeLog. |
