258
  from within GDB a "maintenance packet r" must be sent, followed by a
259
  "detach". Then you can reconnect to the board.a
260
* Added generic AMD AM29xxxxx flash driver based on MBX driver, and make
261
  the MBX use it.
262
* Added RedBoot support to PID target.
263
* Added Atmel AT29C040 flash driver.
264
* Added Intel XScale support with the IQ80310 Software Development and
265
  Processor Evaluation Kit. Support includes flash and ethernet drivers,
266
  and RedBoot support.
267
* Added support for USB slave devices. This includes generic USB slave
268
  support, a device driver for the SA11x0 on-chip USB device, and an
269
  additional support package for developing USB-ethernet and similar
270
  peripherals.
271
* Added POSIX cancellation points for the sigwait family of functions,
272
  pthread_join, pthread_cond_wait, pthread_cond_timedwait, sleep and
273
  nanosleep
274
* Virtual vectors initialization can now be configured with a finer
275
  granularity. Diagnostic output should also appear on the same channel
276
  (possibly ethernet) as the application was launched from.
277
* Added cyg_pci_find_matching() to PCI library API to allow more generalized
278
  matching on device properties.
279
* ARM EBSA285 now configured to use virtual vectors all the time. Users with
280
  old GDB stub ROM images should upgrade to newer GDB stub ROM images, or
281
  better still to RedBoot.
282
* Stack usage measurement has been added, with the functions
283
  pthread_measure_stack_usage() in the POSIX thread API and
284
  cyg_thread_measure_stack_usage() in the kernel C API.
285
* Thread stack checking support added. See CYGFUN_KERNEL_THREADS_STACK_CHECKING
286
  in the kernel CDL for information.
287
* Add syscall support to RedBoot for compatibility with newlib-based BSPs
288
* Bridge support added to the PCI library. Use cyg_pci_configure_bus() to
289
  configure all busses.
290
* Added a port to the Toshiba MIPS TX49 chip, with the REF4955 reference
291
  platform. This includes serial device driver and wallclock device driver
292
  support.
293

294
* Added SH4 support. Split SH architecture HAL into variants in the process.
295
* Added SH4/CQ7750 platform support [still untested]
296
* Port to Intel SA1100 Multimedia evalulation board added, including serial
297
  device driver, FLASH driver and RedBoot support
298
* FLASH driver added for PowerPC/MBX
299
* sigsetjmp() and siglongjmp() added
300
* A choice of getcwd() implementations have been added
301
* SH serial driver cleanup. SCIF driver added. SCI and SCIF drivers are
302
  now separate packages. SCIF driver uses full FIFO and can utilize
303
  DMA for transmit operations.
304
* Move logical ethernet "driver" into io/eth where the interface can be shared
305
  between multiple implementations, e.g. BSD TCP/IP and Red Boot's TCP/IP
306
  stacks.
307
* RedBoot - the Red Hat Bootstrap ROM monitor has been added, initially
308
  supporting ARM-EDB7xxx, ARM-EBSA285, and ARM-Assabet boards. Provides
309
  serial and ethernet GDB debugging support, flash image management and flash
310
  booting, BOOTP/DHCP and TFTP boot support and a CLI interface.
311
* Added PCMCIA and Compact Flash support, including drivers for the ARM-Assabet
312
  board.
313
* Added generic FLASH memory support
314
* Added flash memory support for ARM-EBSA285 and ARM-EDB7xxx boards
315
* Added Compact Flash Ethernet driver
316
* Hitachi SH7707a variant support added.
317
* Support added for both software and hardware flow control with an initial
318
  version of the latter available only for the ARM PID board at present.
319
* Loopback serial device driver added
320
* POSIX termios support added for EL/IX level 1 compatibility
321
* Improved dynamic memory management support in the memory allocator
322
  package. Existing dynamic memory support in the kernel (fixed and variable
323
  block allocators) and in libc (malloc, etc.) has been moved to this
324
  package, located at services/memalloc/common. It is now possible to support
325
  memory pools occupying all of remaining memory (as determined by the MLT).
326
  New memory allocators can be "plugged in", and an example of Doug Lea's
327
  malloc (dlmalloc) has been included.
328
* Plug-in filesystem support added, with a POSIX 1003.1 compatible API, found
329
  in the io/fileio package, and integrated with the C library.
330
* An initial example filesystem implementation is provided in fs/ram. This
331
  is a RAM filesystem that attempts to both be a useful tool in its own
332
  right and an example of how to write a filesystem that plugs into the
333
  fileio infrastructure.
334
  The source of the filesystem is in fs/ram/VERSION/src/ramfs.c and is
335
  intended to be largely self documenting. The General Description at
336
  the beginning of the file gives an overview of the structure of the
337
  system, and comments within the code explain specific points. This
338
  code should be read in conjunction with the description of the fileio
339
  infrastructure.
340
* Support added for POSIX 1003.1 threads, mutexes, semaphores, message queues,
341
  condition variables, clocks, timers and real-time signals in the POSIX
342
  compatibility package (part of the EL/IX compatibility initiative) found at
343
  compat/posix.
344
* Kernel enhanced with Asynchronous Service Routines (ASRs) which are routines
345
  called back at the point a thread is scheduled.
346
* Added (configurably) priority ceilings for kernel mutexes
347
* Support sorted thread queues in kernel, rather than LIFO, controlled by the
348
  CYGIMP_KERNEL_SCHED_SORTED_QUEUES option.
349
* The Kernel C API functions cyg_semaphore_wait() and cyg_cond_wait() now
350
  return booleans to indicate if the wait failed.
351
* Added enhanced form of kernel message queue which is more flexible at runtime
352
  than mboxes - available in 
353
* Add a generic interface in  to allow tables of
354
  data, particularly initialization data, to be included in an application
355
  image. This replaces the previous __DEVTAB__ and __NETDEVTAB__ references
356
  in linker scripts.
357
* Most standard top-level header files now controlled by the "isoinfra"
358
  package
359
* C library package split into separate packages on functional boundaries:
360
  i18n, setjmp, signals, startup, stdio, stdlib, time
361
* Most targets now implement a standard form of "virtual vectors" - a
362
  mechanism to allow enhanced co-operation between ROM monitors and running
363
  applications. This allows the application to leave to the ROM things that
364
  the ROM supports rather than duplicating, including debug channels that may
365
  be via serial or ethernet. To take advantage of this, new GDB stub
366
  images/CygMon images should be programmed onto boards, although old images
367
  will continue to work - they will just not be able to use the new facilities.
368
* DHCP support has been added to the TCP/IP support, in addition to the
369
  existing BOOTP support
370
* CDL now supports type bool and booldata for interfaces
371
* CDL now exports extra macros in header files, to indicate package version
372
  numbers
373
* A port of the University of California at Davis (UCD) SNMP stack has been
374
  added
375
* Hitachi SH7709A variant support added
376
* NEC V85x architecture support added
377
* NEC Cosmo CEB-V850/SA1 evaluation board platform HAL added
378
* Serial device drivers added for systems based on NEC V850 SA1 (70F3017)
379
  or SB1 (70F3033) processors
380
* Hitachi SH3 CqREEK (cq7708) platform HAL support added
381
  Contributed by Haruki Kashiwaya
382
* Watchdog reworked much like wallclock.
383
  Common code and API in io/watchdog, simpler (smaller) low-level drivers in
384
  devs/watchdog/.
385
* IO serial driver
386
  The common serial driver has been extended with a configurable option for
387
  a non-blocking read/write mode. It has also been given some new callbacks
388
  which allow low-level drivers to transfer data in blocks instead of as
389
  single characters.
390
* SH HAL
391
  Now provides ROMRAM startup type, copying code and data to RAM before
392
  executing, improving performance at cost of memory.
393
* IO serial drivers reworked by separating into distinct platform
394
  packages, making it simpler to implement new drivers.
395
* WallClock reworked, making it simpler to implement new drivers.
