| |
| Zephyr Kernel 1.10.0 |
| ##################### |
| |
| DRAFT: We are pleased to announce the release of Zephyr kernel version 1.10.0. |
| |
| Major enhancements with this release include: |
| |
| * Integration with MCUBOOT Bootloader |
| * Additional implementation of MMU/MPU support |
| * Build and Configuration System (CMake) |
| * Newtron Flash Filesystem (NFFS) Support |
| * Increased testsuite coverage |
| |
| The following sections provide detailed lists of changes by component. |
| |
| Kernel |
| ****** |
| |
| * Remove deprecated k_mem_pool_defrag code |
| * Add the following application-facing memory domain APIs: |
| * k_mem_domain_init() - to initialize a memory domain |
| * k_mem_domain_destroy() - to destroy a memory domain |
| * k_mem_domain_add_partition() - to add a partition into a domain |
| * k_mem_domain_remove_partition() - to remove a partition from a domain |
| * k_mem_domain_add_thread() - to add a thread into a domain |
| * k_mem_domain_remove_thread() - to remove a thread from a domain |
| * add k_calloc() which uses kernel heap to implement traditional calloc() |
| semantics. |
| * Introduce object validation mechanism: All system calls made from userspace |
| which involve pointers to kernel objects (including device drivers) will need |
| to have those pointers validated; userspace must never be able to crash the |
| kernel by passing it garbage. |
| |
| Architectures |

| |
| Bluetooth |
| ********* |
| |
| * Multiple qualification-related fixes for Bluetooth Mesh |
| * Support for Bluetooth Mesh Friend Node role |
| * Support for Bluetooth Mesh Foundation Client Models |
| * New Bluetooth Mesh shell module and test application |
| * Support for PA/LNA amplifiers in the BLE Controller |
| * Support for additional VS commands in the BLE Controller |
| * Multiple stability fixes for the BLE Controller |
| |
| Build and Infrastructure |
| ************************ |
| |
| * The Zephyr project has migrated to CMake, an important step in a |
| larger effort to make Zephyr easier to use for application developers |
| working on different platforms with different development environment |
| needs. This change retains Kconfig as-is, and replaces all Makefiles |
| with corresponding CMakeLists.txt. The DSL-like Make language that |
| KBuild offers is replaced by a set of CMake extensions that provide |
| either simple one-to-one translations of KBuild features or introduce |
| new concepts that replace KBuild concepts. Please re-read the Getting |
| Started guide |
| (http://docs.zephyrproject.org/getting_started/getting_started.html) |
| with updated instructions for setting up and developing on your host-OS. |
| You *will* need to port your own out-of-tree scripts and Makefiles to |
| CMake. |
| |
| Libraries / Subsystems |
| *********************** |
| |
| * The implementation for sys_rand32_get() function has been moved to a new |
| "random" subsystem. There are new implementations for this function, one based |
| in the Xoroshift128+ PRNG (using a hardware number generator to seed), and |
| another that obtains random numbers directly from a hardware number generator |
| driver. Hardware number generator drivers have been moved to a |
| "drivers/entropy" directory; these drivers only expose the interface provided |
| by include/entropy.h. |
| * TinyCrypt updated to version 0.2.8 |
| |
| HALs |
| **** |
| |
| * Add Altera HAL for support NIOS-II boards |
| * Add mcux 2.3.0 for mimxrt1051 and mimxrt1052 |
| * stm32cube: HAL/LL static library for stm32f0xx v.1.9. |
| * Add support for STM32 family USB driver |
| * Add Silabs Gecko SDK for EFM32WG SoCs |
| * Simplelink: Update cc32xx SDK to version 1.50.00.06 |
| |
| Documentation |
| ************* |
| |
| * Missing API documentation caused by doxygen subgroups and missing |
| Sphinx directives now included. |
| * Note added to release doc pages mentioning more current content could |
| be available from the master branch version of the documentation. |
| * Documentation updated to use CMake (vs. Make) in all examples. |
| * Getting Started Guide material updated to include CMake dependencies |
| and build instructions. |
| * Instead of hiding all expected warnings from the document build |
| process (there are some known doxygen/sphinx issues), the build |
| now outputs all warnings, and then reports |
| if any new/unexpected warnings or errors were detected. |
| * Obsolete V1 to V2 porting material removed. |
| * Continued updates to documentation for new board support, new samples, |
| and new features. |
| * Integration of documentation with new zephyrproject.org website |
| |
| Tests and Samples |
| ***************** |
| |
| * Benchmarking: cleanup of the benchmarking code |
| * Add userspace protection tests |
| * Move all tests to ztest and cleanup coding style and formatting |
