| Zephyr Kernel 1.9.0 (WIP) |
| ######################### |
| |
| We are pleased to announce the release of Zephyr kernel version 1.9.0 |
| (planned for release in August 2017). |
| |
| Major enhancements planned with this release include: |
| |
| * Pthreads compatible API |
| * BSD Sockets compatible API |
| * Expand Device Tree support to more architectures |
| * BLE Mesh |
| * Bluetooth 5.0 Support (all features except Advertising Extensions) |
| * Expand LLVM Support to more architectures |
| * Revamp Testsuite, Increase Coverage |
| * Zephyr SDK NG |
| * Eco System: Tracing, debugging support through 3rd party tools |
| * Lightweight Machine to Machine (LwM2M) support |
| |
| These enhancements are planned, but may move out to a future release: |
| |
| * Thread Protocol (initial drop) |
| * MMU/MPU (Cont.): Thread Isolation, Paging |
| * Build and Configuration System (CMake) |
| |
| |
| The following sections provide detailed lists of changes by component. |

| Architectures |
| ************* |
| |
| * arm: Added STM32F405, STM32F417, STM32F103x8 SoCs |
| * arm: Added TI CC2650 SoC |
| * arm: Removed TI CC3200 SoC |
| * arm: Added MPU support to nRF52, STM32L4, and STM32F3 |
| |
| Boards |
| ****** |
| |
| * Added device tree support for Intel Quark based microcontroller boards |
| such as Arduino_101, tinytile, and Quark_d2000_crb. |
| * arm: Added Atmel SAM4S Xplained board |
| * arm: Added Olimex STM32-E407 and STM32-P405 boards |
| * arm: Added STM32F412 Nucleo and STM32F429I-DISC1 boards |
| * arm: Added TI SensorTag board |
| * arm: Removed TI CC3200 LaunchXL board |
| * arm: Added VBLUno51 and VBLUno52 boards |
| |
| Drivers and Sensors |
| ******************* |
| |
| * KW40Z IEEE 802.15.4 radio driver support added |
| * APDS9960 sensor driver added |
| * Added TICKLESS KERNEL support for nrf RTC Timer. |
| * Added Kinetis adc and pwm drivers |
| |
| Networking |
| ********** |
| |
| * LWM2M support added |
| * net-app API support added. This is higher level API that can be used |
| by applications to create client/server applications with transparent |
| TLS (for TCP) or DTLS (for UDP) support. |
| * MQTT TLS support added |
| * Add support to automatically setup IEEE 802.15.4 and Bluetooth IPSP networks |
| * TCP receive window support added |
| * Network sample application configuration file unification, where most of the |
| similar configuration files were merged together |
| * Added Bluetooth support to HTTP(S) server sample application |
| * BSD Socket compatible API layer, allowing to write and/or port simple |
| networking applications using a well-known, cross-platform API |
| * Networking API documentation fixes |
| * Network shell enhancements |
| * Trickle algorithm fixes |
| * Improvements to HTTP server and client libraries |
| * CoAP API fixes |
| * IPv6 fixes |
| * RPL fixes |
| |
| Bluetooth |
| ********* |
| |
| * Bluetooth Mesh support (all mandatory features and most optional ones) |
| * GATT Service Changed Characteristic support |
| * IPSP net-app support: a simplified networking API reducing duplication |
| of common tasks an application writer has to go through to connect |
| to the network. |
| * BLE controller qualification-ready, with all required tests passing |
| * Controller-based privacy (including all optional features) |
| * Extended Scanner Filter Policies support in the controller |
| * Controller roles (Advertiser, Scanner, Master and Slave) separation in |
| source code, conditionally includable |
| * Flash access cooperation with BLE radio activity |
| |

| Documentation |
| ************* |
| |
| * CONTRIBUTING.rst and Contribution Guide material added |
| * Configuration options doc reorganized for easier access |
| * Navigation sidebar issues fixed for supported boards section |
| * Completed migration of wiki.zephyrproject.org content into docs and |
| GitHub wiki. All links to old wiki updated. |
| * Broken link and spelling check scans through .rst, Kconfig (used for |
| auto-generated configuration docs), and source code doxygen comments |
| (used for API documentation). |
| * API documentation added for new interfaces and improved for existing |
| ones. |
| * Documentation added for new boards supported with this release. |
| * Python packages needed for document generation added to new python |
| pip requirements.txt |
| |
| |
| Tests and Samples |
| ***************** |
| |
| * Added test Case to stress test round robin scheduling in schedule_api test. |
| * Added test case to stress test priority scheduling in scheduling_api_test. |
