Doing so will cause errors if other configuration dependencies - are not met. - * configs/stm3210e-eval/src/up_lcd.c: Color corrections for SPFD5408B LCD - do not work with R61580 LCD. - * configs/pic32-starterkit: Beginning of a configuration for the Microchip - PIC32 Ethernet Starter Kit. Hmmm.. I don't have a clue how to test this - with no serial port?! - * lib/stdio/lib_fclose.c: fclose() always returns an error (EOF) when it - closes a read-only file. This is because it calls flush() which will - fail on read-only files. No harm is done other that a bad value is - returned. - * arch/sim/src/Makefile: Correct build issue for sim/nsh2 target. Old - libboard.a was not being cleaned. - * arch/mips/src/pic32mx/pic32mx-gpio*.c: Add GPIO support for the PIC32MX. - * configs/sure-pic32mx/src/up_leds.c and up_buttons.c: Add button and LED - support for the Sure Electronics PIC32MX board. - * configs/ea3152: Add a configuration for the Embedded Artists LPC3152 - daughter board (with the same base-board used with configs/ea3131) - * graphics/nxmu/nx_getrectangle.c, graphics/nxsu/nx_getrectangle.c, - graphics/mxtk/nx_getwindow.c, graphics/nxmu/nx_gettoobar.c: New - interfaces to read from graphics memory - * graphics/nxbe/nxbe_bitmap.c: Fix an error in the error handling that - can cause valid bitmaps to fail to render. - * include/nuttx/rgbcolors.h: Fix errors in some 16- and 8-bit color - conversion macros. - * tools/incdir.sh: Fix issues when g++ is used as the compiler. It was - not being recognized and handled properly. - * graphics/nxsu/nx_releasebkgd.c: Fix a bad cast that was causing - problems with the background window was released. - * fs/nxffs/nxffs_pack.c: Correct a critical bug in the NXFFS file system: - When repacking the filesystem, there was a missing check to see if an - inode structure would fit at the end of a block. This is a rare case - if the block size is large, but can be common for tiny block sizes - and results in a crash and file system corruption. - * fs/nxffs/nxffs_initialize.c: Fix an initialize error. If the FLASH - is full on power-up, NXFFS will fail to initialize correctly. - * fs/nxffs/nxffs_write.c and nxffs_pack.c: Fix an error that can occur - when attempt to write to FLASH volume that is completely full but - has no value inodes on it. - * drivers/mtd/at24xx.c: Now supports a configurable block size that - supports using "clusters" of AT24 pages as blocks. This allows bigger - block sizes and more efficient use of EEPROM when the AT24 is used to - support a file system (such as NXFFS). (Contributed by Hal Glenn). - * include/nuttx/rgbcolors.h: More fixes to RGB color conversion - macros. - * arch/arm/src/common/up_createstack.c and up_usestack.c: For ARM EABI - the stack must be aligned to 8-byte boundaries. This is necessary for - passing aligned floating point values under EABI. Fix contributed by - David Sidrane. - * Numerous changes and fixes to the PIC32 interrupt handing logic. The - PIC32 port is almost complete but still not ready for prime time. + * fs/fat/fs_fat32util.c and fs_fat32.h: Logic extended to look in up to + four partitions for a valid FAT file system. + * drivers/input/tsc2007.c: Add support for 8-bit conversions; make sure + that A/D converters are active before requesting conversions. + * drivers/mmcsd0/mmcsd_sdio.c: Increase capacity variable from size_t + to uin64_t (if available) so that SD cards with capacities greater + than 4Gb can be supported. + * fs/fat/fs_fat32dirent.c: The root directory structure is different + from other directories. When formatted by Windows, it is not initialized + at all. Some additional special handling is required to initialize the + root directory entry to interoperate correctly with windows. + * fs/fat/fs_fat32util.c: In fat_systime2fattime(void) should be + clock_gettime() and not clock_gettime(). Also, there is a place where + FAT date is used instead of FAT time. (Thanks to David Sidrane). + * arch/arm/src/stm32 and arch/arm/include/stm32: Add support for the + STM32F40xxx family of MCUs. + * configs/stm3240g-eval: Add framework for the STMicro STM3240G-EVAL + board. + * include/sys/types.h: wchar_t is a builtin type in C++ and its + declaration can cause errors with certain C++ compilers. + * sched/sig_timedwait.c: Fix signal handling when the returned info + is NULL. Before this change, it would derefence a NULL pointer + in this case. + * graphics/nxfonts/nxfonts_sans17x22.h and nxfonts_sans20x26.h: Add + some very small sans serif fonts. + * graphics/nxfonts/nxfonts_sans17x23b.h and nxfonts_sans20x27b.h: Add + corresponding sans serif bold fonts. + * drivers/input/ads7843e.c and tsc2007.c: Fix some errors in the poll + setup error checking that was cloned into both drivers. + * sched/mq_notify.c: Set errno appropriately on failures.
