NuttX Release Notes
===================
This file contains are the release notes for the NuttX (and apps) packages
for every release. The text is just as was written at the time of release
(with perhaps some corrected typos). Over the course of time, NuttX has
used several different repositories: CVS, two SVN repositories, and
currently a GIT repository. Therefore, revision information specific to an
older repository may not be meaningful today.
To make it easier to track there older versions in the current GIT
repository, a GIT lightweight tag has been applied for each release. The
tag name is the release name (for example, the release 6.27 has tag name
"nuttx-6.27").

-----------
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 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 (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

-----------
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 exited.
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.
This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from March 9, 2008.
NuttX-0.3.10
------------
This is the 22nd release of NuttX. This is an important bug fix
release. This release incorporates fixes to correct critical list
handling errors in task shutdown logic: One in timer deletion logic
(timer_delete.c) and one in stream logic (lib_init.c). This release
also includes support to ZiLOG EZ80Acclaim microcontroller (EZ80F91
chip) and configurations for the ZiLOG z8f64200100kit (Z8F6423) and
ez80f0910200kitg (EZ80F091) development kit.

NuttX-0.3.13
------------
This is the 25th release of NuttX. This release includes some
important bugfixes as well as a few new features. Bugs fixed
include:
* Fixed problems with Cygwin-based console input. NSH now works
with the Cygwin simulator.
* sched_get_priority_max/min returned error on SCHED_RR
* Corrected detection of End-of-File in fgets()
* Fixed an error in opendir() that could cause an assertion to fail
inappropriately.
* Corrected an error in the FAT that caused files opened for writing
with O_APPEND to fail.
* Fix error in getopt() when called with argc==1
* Fix error in stat() when used on the root directory
* Fixed a critical bug that effects the way that environment variables
are shared among 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
- New memory inspection commands and heap usage 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
- 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 prohibited 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', and TFTP 'get' and 'put'
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, successfully 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 adapter). This driver 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 October 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 October 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 management 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 other important errors in the FAT lseek() implementation:
1 - The sectors-per-cluster value was being reset to "1".
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 initial check-in).
* Partially developed a graphics framework based on the framebuffer
drivers, however, this will not be ready for use for a few more
releases. Currently this includes only a few color conversion
routines and some rasterizing 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.
This tarball contains a complete CVS snapshot from November 26, 2008.
NuttX-0.4.0
-----------
This is the 32nd release of NuttX. This release adds graphics
support and a tiny windowing subsystem. That new graphics subsystem
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, this release also
adds the following features which were not tested as of the time
of the release:
* Board support for 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 February 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 February 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 interrupts.
- 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:
* 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.
* 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:
* 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.
* Support for the CodeSourcery and devkitARM Windows-native GNU
toolchains. Makefiles have been modified for the LM3S6918,
