N = Decided against.
-Within 2.1.x
-* Binary Semaphores on top of Counting Semaphores.
-* Direct unbuffered UART driver.
- Requirements: low level, callbacks, DMA capable, state machines buildable
- on top, support data words greater than 8 bits, callback for
- "last byte transmitted (RS485)", simple implementation,
- verifiable.
-* Rework STM32 drivers to use friendly IRQ names and centralized DMA macros.
-* I-class functions for the ADC/PWM drivers.
-* All the device driver structures must have a fields extension macro and
- initializer hook.
-* All the device driver callbacks must have the driver pointer as first
- parameter.
-* Change the SPI driver to be able to work asynchronously using callbacks,
- keep the synchronous APIs available as option.
-* Add an optional spiPolledExchange() API to the SPI driver model.
-* Update the STM32 SPI driver to the new model.
-* Make the ADC driver have the same synchronous/asynchronous API of the
- new SPI driver model.
-* General HAL improvements.
-* Update the AT91SAM7 SPI driver (DMA and/or ISR).
- * Verify the FatFs demo on both the AT91SAM7X and AT91SAM7S.
-* Update the LPC214x SPI driver (ISR).
- * Verify the LPC214x FatFs demo.
-* Write a new SPI driver for LPC1xxx (ISR)(it should be very close to the
- LPC214x one).
-N Evaluate if to add a synchronous API to the UART driver, eventually do so.
-* Global documentation reorganization in order to allow both separate documents
- and the usual blob document.
-* PDF generation from the documentation system (only separate documents, not
- the blob).
-* Automatic compilation and upload of the various documents on the web site
- (doxygen + rsync).
-* New STM8S/A SPI driver.
-* Reorganization of the STM32 family port-level support.
-* Remove preprocessor directives from the assembler files and restore the
- RIDE7 build files in the STM32 demo.
-* Move dynamic APIs into a separate source file.
-* Improved support in the STM32 HAL support for multiple sub-families. Do
- not check for the family in the various drivers but simply check for
- switch macros like STM32_HAS_USART3, STM32_HAS_SPI3. This what the
- drivers will not need changes when adding new sub-families.
-* STM8L official HAL support, it will have to be separated from the STM8S/STM8A
- HAL because it is very different.
- * Shared ISR management.
- * STM8L-Discovery demo.
-* Add the STM32F100 (Value Line) sub-family to the official STM32 HAL support.
- * STM32VL-Discovery demo.
-* Remove the PAL default configuration from the various hal_lld.c and move
- them into board.c files, this will remove an ugly dependency.
-* Realign the STM8 port to the new STM8L one as options, naming conventions
- and general solutions.
-* Support for more compilers (IAR, Keil, ARMCMx only initially).
-X Support for not just Makefiles (Ride7, Crossworks etc).
-* IAR port for Cortex-Mx, add demos for all the supported families.
-* Keil port for Cortex-Mx, add demos for all the supported families.
-* Change the serial drivers to have a single event source instead of three.
- Add Rx and Tx to the existing flags mechanism. Move up the flags handling in
- the superclass.
-X Except for the above, bug fixing only until the 2.2.0 release.
-
Within 2.3.x (hopefully)
-- Resist doing more changes and optimizations to the kernel.
-? Make thread functions return void.
-- Introduce a "THREAD" function prefix in order to hide compiler-specific
- optimizations for thread functions.
