Plus several external libraries +integrated in our structure: WolfSSL, FatFS and lwIP. + +*** ChibiOS 19.1.0 highlights **** + +This release is focused on features and general improvements, HAL, RT and NIL +received a series of important improvements, new features have been added. + +*** ChibiOS 19.1.0 general improvements *** + +- CMSIS 5.4.0 has been integrated. +- Improved build system based on make. +- Now it is possible to define separate directories for each configuration + file. +- Demo projects reworked to use the new make system and remove configuration + files from the root. +- Linker scripts improvements. + +*** What's new in RT/NIL ports *** + +- Added a sanity check on GCC version for ARMv6-M, a version below 6 + must be used. + +*** What's new in OS Library 1.0.0 *** + +- Separated OSLIB from RT and NIL, now it is a separate "product" with + its own version, configuration file and licensing. The library will + grow to include more functionalities. + RT and NIL will contain only the core functionalities, everything else + is shared library code. +- Added a new "pipes" subsystem. +- Many improvements in Memory Pools, Object FIFOs. +- Stricter alignment checks in memory pools. +- chFifoObjectInit() renamed to chFifoObjectInitAligned(). Added a new + chFifoObjectInit() without the alignment parameter. + +*** What's new in RT 6.0.0 *** + +- C++ wrapper reworked, now it is mostly inline code, added some new + wrappers and methods. Added wrappers for more API functions. BaseThreads + are no more descendants of ThreadReference. +- Change, chMtxGetNextMutexS() renamed to chMtxGetNextMutexX(). +- Added a new function chMtxGetOwnerI() to mutexes. + +*** What's new in NIL 3.2.0 *** + +- Added chThdResume() function. + +*** What's new in HAL 7.0.0 *** + +- Added new SIO, TRNG, WSPI driver models. +- Removed EXT, QSPI driver models. +- Removed TRNG functionality from CRY driver. +- Low level drivers simplification. There is a new template of LLD, now + driver and configuration types are defined in the HLD, LLD just exports + macros with the fields to be added to the structures. + So far the drivers updated are: ADC, DAC, I2S, RTC, SPI, TRNG, WSPI. +- New infrastructure for Serial NOR Flash devices. +- New and improved MFS subsystem. +- Improved CRY driver with better keys loading. +- Added a new "persistent storage" base class. +- Modified the RTC driver to implement the persistent storage interface + instead of files interface. +- Added optional support for character match callback in the UART + high level driver. +- Added new functions to I/O queues: qSetLink(). +- ADC driver state machine change, now the state ADC_COMPLETE is set + before calling the 2nd callback even in circular mode. This has been + done for consistency with other drivers with circular buffers. +- The callbacks of drivers with circular buffers (ADC, DAC, I2S, SPI) have + been simplified, no parameters. A driver function xxxIsBufferComplete() + has been added to determine if it is the half buffer callback or the + final callback. +- Event enable check API added to PAL driver. + +*** What's new in EX 1.1.0 *** + +- All drivers updated. +- Added support for LDM303AGR 6 axis Accelerometer\Magnetometer MEMS. +- Added support for LSM6DSL 6 axis Accelerometer\Gyroscope MEMS. +- Added support for LPS22HB 2 axis Barometer\Thermometer MEMS. + +*** What's new in AVR HAL support *** + + +*** What's new in STM32 HAL support *** + +- Introduced support for STM32L4+ devices. +- Added support for STM32L433 and STM32L443. +- Added support for STM32L072 and STM32L073. +- Added support for TIM21 and TIM22 in STM32 GPT driver. +- Added support for TIM15, TIM16 and TIM17 on GPT, ICU and PWM drivers. +- Both DMAv1 and DMAv2 have been reworked to support DMAMUX, DMAv3 has + been removed. In addition, both drivers are now able to support dynamic + channel allocation. +- Updated all drivers to use the new DMA API. +- Added demos for STM32L496ZG-Nucleo144, STM32L4R5ZI-Nucleo144 and + STM32L4R9I-Discovery boards. +- Updated STM32L4xx headers to version 1.11.0. +- Restructured the STM32F4xx HAL support, added support for STM32F413, + added ability to handle the TIMPRE bit, separated the clock tree in + two distinct implementation to reduce the proliferation of compiler + time conditionals, added more checks to the input parameters. +- Added support for oversampling in STM32 ADCv3 driver. +- Added analog watchdog functionality to STM32 ADCv2 driver. +- STM32 ADCv3, DACv1, I2Cv2, SPIv2 and USARTv2 are now DMAMUX-aware. +- Modified USARTv2 to support HW FIFOs where present. +- Added UART7/8 support to STM32 UART USARTv1 driver. +- Added an EXTI helper driver. +- RTCv2 driver now supports callbacks on events. +- Added option to enable bypass on SDIOv1 driver allowing to use a + 50MHz clock. + +*** What's new in tools *** + +- Added mcuconf.h generators for STM32L432xx, STM32L476xx, STM32L496xx, + STM32L4Rxxx, STM32F72x/73x, STM32F746/756, STM32F76x/77x, STM32F413xx + and STM32F303xx devices. -- cgit v1.2.3
