|
|
has not yet been started. Includes RedBoot, Flash and FEC ethernet.
|
126 |
|
|

133 |
|
|
Derived from an initial port by Richard Panton of 3G Lab.

|
143 |
|

|
146 |
|
|
* Added simple ROM based file system support, contributed by
|
147 |
|

|
151 |
|
|
* Added zlib decompression library.
|
152 |
|
|
* GDB stubs no longer reboot the board in response to a 'k' packet. Instead
|
153 |
|
|
from within GDB a "maintenance packet r" must be sent, followed by a
|
154 |
|
|
"detach". Then you can reconnect to the board.a
|
155 |
|
|
* Added generic AMD AM29xxxxx flash driver based on MBX driver, and make
|
156 |
|
|
the MBX use it.
|
157 |
|
|
* Added RedBoot support to PID target.
|
158 |
|
|
* Added Atmel AT29C040 flash driver.
|
159 |
|
|
* Added Intel XScale support with the IQ80310 Software Development and
|
160 |
|
|
Processor Evaluation Kit. Support includes flash and ethernet drivers,
|
161 |
|
|
and RedBoot support.
|
162 |
|
|
* Added support for USB slave devices. This includes generic USB slave
|
163 |
|
|
support, a device driver for the SA11x0 on-chip USB device, and an
|
164 |
|
|
additional support package for developing USB-ethernet and similar
|
165 |
|
|
peripherals.
|
166 |
|
|
* Added POSIX cancellation points for the sigwait family of functions,
|
167 |
|
|
pthread_join, pthread_cond_wait, pthread_cond_timedwait, sleep and
|
168 |
|
|
nanosleep
|
169 |
|
|
* Virtual vectors initialization can now be configured with a finer
|
170 |
|
|
granularity. Diagnostic output should also appear on the same channel
|
171 |
|
|
(possibly ethernet) as the application was launched from.
|
172 |
|
|
* Added cyg_pci_find_matching() to PCI library API to allow more generalized
|
173 |
|
|
matching on device properties.
|
174 |
|
|
* ARM EBSA285 now configured to use virtual vectors all the time. Users with
|
175 |
|
|
old GDB stub ROM images should upgrade to newer GDB stub ROM images, or
|
176 |
|
|
better still to RedBoot.
|
177 |
|
|
* Stack usage measurement has been added, with the functions
|
178 |
|
|
pthread_measure_stack_usage() in the POSIX thread API and
|
179 |
|
|
cyg_thread_measure_stack_usage() in the kernel C API.
|
180 |
|
|
* Thread stack checking support added. See CYGFUN_KERNEL_THREADS_STACK_CHECKING
|
181 |
|
|
in the kernel CDL for information.
|
182 |
|
|
* Add syscall support to RedBoot for compatibility with newlib-based BSPs
|
183 |
|
|
* Bridge support added to the PCI library. Use cyg_pci_configure_bus() to
|
184 |
|
|
configure all busses.
|
185 |
|
|
* Added a port to the Toshiba MIPS TX49 chip, with the REF4955 reference
|
186 |
|
|
platform. This includes serial device driver and wallclock device driver
|
187 |
|
|
support.
|
188 |
|
|
* PowerPC 40x variant support added.
|
189 |
|
|

|
190 |
|
|
* Added SH4/CQ7750 platform support [still untested]
|
191 |
|
|
* Port to Intel SA1100 Multimedia evalulation board added, including serial
|
192 |
|
|
device driver, FLASH driver and RedBoot support
|
193 |
|
|
* FLASH driver added for PowerPC/MBX
|
194 |
|
|
* sigsetjmp() and siglongjmp() added
|
195 |
|
|
* A choice of getcwd() implementations have been added
|
196 |
|
|
* SH serial driver cleanup. SCIF driver added. SCI and SCIF drivers are
|
197 |
|
|
now separate packages. SCIF driver uses full FIFO and can utilize
|
198 |
|
|
DMA for transmit operations.
|
199 |
|
|
* Move logical ethernet "driver" into io/eth where the interface can be shared
|
200 |
|
|
between multiple implementations, e.g. BSD TCP/IP and Red Boot's TCP/IP
|
201 |
|
|
stacks.
|
202 |
|
|
* RedBoot - the Red Hat Bootstrap ROM monitor has been added, initially
|
203 |
|
|
supporting ARM-EDB7xxx, ARM-EBSA285, and ARM-Assabet boards. Provides
|
204 |
|
|
serial and ethernet GDB debugging support, flash image management and flash
|
205 |
|
|
booting, BOOTP/DHCP and TFTP boot support and a CLI interface.
|
206 |
|
|
* Added PCMCIA and Compact Flash support, including drivers for the ARM-Assabet
|
207 |
|
|
board.
|
208 |
|
|
* Added generic FLASH memory support
|
209 |
|
|
* Added flash memory support for ARM-EBSA285 and ARM-EDB7xxx boards
|
210 |
|
|
* Added Compact Flash Ethernet driver
|
211 |
|
|
* Hitachi SH7707a variant support added.
|
212 |
|
|
* Support added for both software and hardware flow control with an initial
|
213 |
|
|
version of the latter available only for the ARM PID board at present.
|
214 |
|
|
* Loopback serial device driver added
|
215 |
|
|
* POSIX termios support added for EL/IX level 1 compatibility
|
216 |
|
|
* Improved dynamic memory management support in the memory allocator
|
217 |
|
|
package. Existing dynamic memory support in the kernel (fixed and variable
|
218 |
|
|
block allocators) and in libc (malloc, etc.) has been moved to this
|
219 |
|
|
package, located at services/memalloc/common. It is now possible to support
|
220 |
|
|
memory pools occupying all of remaining memory (as determined by the MLT).
|
221 |
|
|
New memory allocators can be "plugged in", and an example of Doug Lea's
|
222 |
|
|
malloc (dlmalloc) has been included.
|
223 |
|
|
* Plug-in filesystem support added, with a POSIX 1003.1 compatible API, found
|
224 |
|
|
in the io/fileio package, and integrated with the C library.
|
225 |
|
|
* An initial example filesystem implementation is provided in fs/ram. This
|
226 |
|
|
is a RAM filesystem that attempts to both be a useful tool in its own
|
227 |
|
|
right and an example of how to write a filesystem that plugs into the
|
228 |
|
|
fileio infrastructure.
|
229 |
|
|
The source of the filesystem is in fs/ram/VERSION/src/ramfs.c and is
|
230 |
|
|
intended to be largely self documenting. The General Description at
|
231 |
|
|
the beginning of the file gives an overview of the structure of the
|
232 |
|
|
system, and comments within the code explain specific points. This
|
233 |
|
|
code should be read in conjunction with the description of the fileio
|
234 |
|
|
infrastructure.
|
235 |
|
|
* Support added for POSIX 1003.1 threads, mutexes, semaphores, message queues,
|
236 |
|
|
condition variables, clocks, timers and real-time signals in the POSIX
|
237 |
|
|
compatibility package (part of the EL/IX compatibility initiative) found at
|
238 |
|
|
compat/posix.
|
239 |
|
|
* Kernel enhanced with Asynchronous Service Routines (ASRs) which are routines
|
240 |
|
|
called back at the point a thread is scheduled.
|
241 |
|
|
* Added (configurably) priority ceilings for kernel mutexes
|
242 |
|
|
* Support sorted thread queues in kernel, rather than LIFO, controlled by the
|
243 |
|
|
CYGIMP_KERNEL_SCHED_SORTED_QUEUES option.
|
244 |
|
|
* The Kernel C API functions cyg_semaphore_wait() and cyg_cond_wait() now
|
245 |
|
|
return booleans to indicate if the wait failed.
|
246 |
|
|
* Added enhanced form of kernel message queue which is more flexible at runtime
|
247 |
|
|
than mboxes - available in
|
248 |
|
|
* Add a generic interface in to allow tables of
|
249 |
|
|
data, particularly initialization data, to be included in an application
|
250 |
|
|
image. This replaces the previous __DEVTAB__ and __NETDEVTAB__ references
|
251 |
|
|
in linker scripts.
|
252 |
|
|
* Most standard top-level header files now controlled by the "isoinfra"
|
253 |
|
|
package
|
254 |
|
|
* C library package split into separate packages on functional boundaries:
|
255 |
|
|
i18n, setjmp, signals, startup, stdio, stdlib, time
|
256 |
|
|
* Most targets now implement a standard form of "virtual vectors" - a
|
257 |
|
|
mechanism to allow enhanced co-operation between ROM monitors and running
|
258 |
|
|
applications. This allows the application to leave to the ROM things that
|
259 |
|
|
the ROM supports rather than duplicating, including debug channels that may
|
260 |
|
|
be via serial or ethernet. To take advantage of this, new GDB stub
|
261 |
|
|
images/CygMon images should be programmed onto boards, although old images
|
262 |
|
|
will continue to work - they will just not be able to use the new facilities.
|
263 |
|
|
* DHCP support has been added to the TCP/IP support, in addition to the
|

|
|
* Watchdog reworked much like wallclock.
|
278 |
|
|
Common code and API in io/watchdog, simpler (smaller) low-level drivers in
|
279 |
|
|
devs/watchdog/.
|
280 |
|
|
* IO serial driver
|
281 |
|
|
The common serial driver has been extended with a configurable option for
|
282 |
|
|
a non-blocking read/write mode. It has also been given some new callbacks
|
283 |
|
|
which allow low-level drivers to transfer data in blocks instead of as
|
284 |
|
|
single characters.
|
285 |
|
|
* SH HAL
|
286 |
|
|
Now provides ROMRAM startup type, copying code and data to RAM before
|
287 |
|
|
executing, improving performance at cost of memory.
|
288 |
|
|
* IO serial drivers reworked by separating into distinct platform
|
289 |
|
|
packages, making it simpler to implement new drivers.
|
290 |
|
|
* WallClock reworked, making it simpler to implement new drivers.
