The change log associated with the release is available here. Unreleased changes after this release are available in CVS. These unreleased changes are listed here. +

+ This release is difficult to categorize; + NuttX-5.9 was really released because there were too many changes accumulating in CVS -- + a few important, some large, unverified implementations, and a couple of important bugfixes. +
    +
  • + By far biggest change in this release is the complete implementation of on-demand paging support. + This feature will allow you to execute large programs on a mass storage device (such as SPI FLASH) in a small RAM. + All of the core on-demand paging logic was completed + (see NuttXDemandPaging.html) + and support was implemented for the ARM-9 family. + A test configuration is in place for the NXP LPC3131. + It has been verified that this new logic does not interfere with normal fixed-page ARM9 operation, but otherwise this new on-demand paging feature is untested. +
    • +
  • + Add support for the CodeSourcery toolchain to the Olimex-lpc2378 port and for the Neuros OSD port. +
    • +
  • + The Neuros OSD port has been updated to work with the production v1.0 OSD + (previously there was NuttX support only for the development board). +
    • +
  • + And some miscellaneous feature enhancements as detailed in the ChangeLog. +
    • +

This includes several important bugfixes: +

    +
  • + NXP LPC17xx - Fixed a critical bug in the GPIO configuratino logic: + When attempting to set no pull-up or pull-down (floating), it would, instead, select pull-down. +
    • +
  • + TI/Luminary LM3Sxxxx - Fixed (1) a logic error in an address table lookup, + (2) GPIO port encoding the limited support to only 8 GPIO ports. +
    • +
  • + Corrected the lease time in the DHCPC implementation: + It was not in host byte order. +
    • +
  • + And several other less important bugs as documented in the ChangeLog: + Warnings, cornercase compilation problems, etc. +
    • +

  • Corrected (but did not verify) implementation of the optional interrupt stack feature (all Cortex M3 architectures), and

  • Correct a HardFault in the LPC17xx SSP driver.

- Several new features have been fully developed and included in this release, but - full verification of most of these new features has been blocked for a variety - of issues: -

-
    -
  • - Added microSD support for the NuttShell (NSH) configuration in the Nucleus2G LPC1768 port. - For reasons that have not yet been determined, I have not successfully accessed the microSD card as of this writing. -
    • -
  • - Two USB configurations were also added for the Nucleus2G board: - One to support the USB serial device and one for the USB mass storage device. - Some testing of the USB driver was performed, but full verification is stalled for an OTG style USB cable. -
    • -
  • - LEDs now work correctly on the Nucleus2G LPC1768 board. -
    • -
  • - The uIP-based NuttX networking subsystem now supports IGMPv2 client. - IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) network "appliances" to join into multicast groups. - Outbound traffic to enter and leave multicast groups has been verified, but full verification will require a switch capable of multicast. - Issues associated with the receipt of multicast packets are likely. -
