- Complete the demo projects for the RX113 using IAR, GCC and Renesas compilers by including a basic UART CLI.
Standard demo tasks:
- Add some volatile qualifiers to variables in IntQueue.c.
Add additional asserts into timers.c.
Trivial changes and changes in demo applications:
RX113 IAR project is not building and running.
Make FreeRTOS_SetupInterrupt() and FreeRTOS_ClearInterrupt() weak symbols in the Zynq SDK repository.
Correct typo in the port layer comments that was cut and paste into multiple files.
+ Added Renesas RXv2 port for IAR.
Demo apps:
+ Demo/Rename the CORTEX_R4F_T_GCC_IAR_ARM directory to just Rename the CORTEX_R4F_T_GCC_IAR.
+ Add IAR project for the RX113.
+ Add RX231 e2studio projects for the RX231.
- Remove configASSERT() if a queue cannot be created, malloc failed hook will be called anyway.
Demo apps:
- RZ/T blinky demo working, but still lots to do to improve the port.
FreeRTOS+Trace:
- Add trace macros for task notifications.
- Update to the latest trace recorder library.
Demo projects:
- Only include the CLI command to show run time states if configGENERATE_RUN_TIME_STATS is set to 1.
- Back out changes that allow mutexes to be given from a semaphore after tests showed issues that would not be fast to fix.
Demo projects:
- Update the Microblaze Kintex 7 project and BSP to use version 2015.2 of the Xilinx SDK.
Kernel changes:
- Remove an assert that was preventing xQueueSendFromISR() being used to give a mutex from an ISR (mutexes cannot be given using xSemaphoreGiveFromISR()).
- Introduce xTaskNotifyAndQueryFromISR() as the interrupt safe version of xTaskNotifyAndQuery().
Common demo task changes:
- Update IntSemTest.c to prove the theory that it is safe to give a mutex type semaphore from an interrupt using xQueueSendFromISR() instead of xSemaphoreGiveFromISR().
- Update TaskNotify.c to test the new xTaskNotifyAndQuery() from ISR fuction.
Add additional NOPs as required by hardware manual.
Microblaze:
Previously a task inherited the exception enable state from the context from which xTaskCreate() was called. Now tasks all have exceptions enabled if they are enabled in the hardware.
Windows/GCC:
Improve the implementation of portGET_HIGHEST_PRIORITY.
Common code:
Simplify the pointer use in xQueueGenericCreate()
Demo apps:
Remove jpg images that were used to create web pages.
Fix capitalisation issues in some demos where some header files are incldued with the wrong case, preventing building on Linux.
Remove the Microblaze demos that are using obsolete tools.
Update main_blinky for the Windows port demo to include a software timer example.
Windows port: Add code to ensure Windows threads are truely suspended before resuming another thread.
Typo correction to the task notification standard demo task.
Correct case of some include file names to fix build issues on Linux.
+ The timer task now blocks indefinitely if there are no timers active, allowing eTaskConfirmSleepModeStatus to return eNoTasksWaitingTimeout when configUSE_TIMERS is set to 1.
+ The next unblock time is calculated automatically after a task unblocks when waiting for a notification, allowing deep sleep to be entered earlier.
Remove redundant global definition vPortInstallFreeRTOSVectorTable from the GCC ARM_CA9 portASM.S file.
Ensure correct sequence of start up sequence when the Windows port is used on multi-core Windows machines by starting one thread in the suspended state.
Move initialisation of xNextTaskUnblockTime to the function that starts the scheduler, rather than from where the variable is declared - this fixes a compiler warning in newer IAR compilers.
Fix "elif (SELECTED_PORT == PORT_MICROCHIP_PIC32MX || PORT_MICROCHIP_PIC32MZ)" in the FreeRTOS+Trace trcHardwarePort.h header file.
Exclude the entire croutine.c file when configUSE_CO_ROUTINES is 0.
New ports:
Added Cortex-M7 IAR and Keil port layers that include a minor errata workaround r0p1 Cortex-M7 devices.
Added Cortex-M4F port layer for CCS.
New demo applications:
Added demo application for STM32F7.
Added demo application for SAMv71.
+ Added mtCOVERAGE_TEST_DELAY() macro to facilitate getting better code coverage during testing.
+ Update prvNotifyQueueSetContainer() so it does not call xTaskRemoveFromEventList() if it is called from an interrupt, and the queue is locked.
Demo apps:
Added QueueSetPolling.c/h demo/test functions.
+ Added vTimerSetTimerID() to compliment vTimerGetTimerID(). Now the timer ID can be used as timer local storage.
+ Updated comments and added some additional assert() calls.
Win32 port:
+ Some changes to allow easier 64-bit builds
PIC24/dsPIC port:
+ Added NOP after disable interrupt instruction.
Add a "query heap" command to the standard sample CLI commands.
Remove casting from configMAX_PRIORITIES setting in Win32 simulator demos as it was preventing a clean build.
Source code changes.
General tidy up and addition of assert points.
+ Made xTaskNotifyGiveFromISR() its own function, rather than a macro that calls xTaskNotifyFromISR() (minor performance improvement).
+ GCC and Keil Cortex-M4F ports now use vPortRaiseBASEPRI() in place of ulPortRaiseBASEPRI() where the return value is not required (minor performance improvement).
Demo changes:
Change the [very basic] FreeRTOS+UDP SAM4E driver to use task notifications rather than a semaphore (execution time now 55% what it was in FreeRTOS V8.1.2!).
Robustness improvements to IntQueue.c standard demo task.h.
Added the latest standard demo tasks, reg test tasks and int q tasks to the SAM4E demo.
+ Do not attempt to free the stack of a deleted task if the stack was statically allocated.
+ Introduce configUSE_LIST_DATA_INTEGRITY_CHECK_BYTES - which optionally writes known values into the list and list item data structures in order to assist with the detection of memory corruptions.
Microblase port:
+Change occurrences of #if XPAR_MICROBLAZE_0_USE_FPU == 1 to #if XPAR_MICROBLAZE_0_USE_FPU != 0 as the value can also be 2 or 3.
Demo app modifications:
+ Update Zynq project to use the 2014.4 tools and add in tests for the new task notification feature.
+ Update SAM4S project to include tests for the new task notification feature.
+ Fix a few compiler warnings.
+ Add TickType_t specific critical sections so critical sections are not used when accessing the tick count in cases where the access is atomic (32-bit tick count, 32-bit architecture).
+ Optimise Cortex-M4F ports by inlining some critical section macros.
+ Original ports used a #define to set the path to portmacro.h - that method has been obsolete for years and now all the old definitions have been moved into a separate header files called deprecated_definitions.h.
+ Cortex-M port now check the active vector bits against 0xff when determining if a function is called from an interrupt - previously only a subset of the bits (0x1f) were checked.
+ Add in new standard demo/test files TaskNotify.c/h and include the files in the simulator demos.
+ Update trace recorder code, and some demos to use the new version (more to do).
+ Introduce uxTaskPriorityGetFromISR().
+ Minor typo corrections.
+ Update MingW simulator demo to match the MSVC simulator demo.
Allow the stats formatting functions to be built in without stdio.h being included inside tasks.c.
Kernel port code:
- Slight change to the Cortex-A GIC-less port to move all non portable code to the application level.
SAMA5D4 demo project:
- Update the Atmel provided library to V1.1.
- Create a DDR build configuration.
- Ensure interrupts are all edge sensitive.
- Update the regtest code to use all 32 flop registers.
+ Change how queues are allocated and deleted so only one pvPortMalloc() or vPortFree() is required in place of the previous 2.
+ Where the TCB is allocated in relation to the stack is now dependent on the stack growth direction. The stack will not grow into the TCB.
+ Introduce the configAPPLICATION_ALLOCATED_HEAP constant to allow the application to provide the array used by heap_4.c as its heap. This allows the application writer to use qualifiers on the array to, for example, force the memory into faster RAM.
Demo application:
+ Add demo for SAMA5D4 using IAR.
+ Introduce xSemaphoreGenericGiveFromISR() as an optimisation when giving semaphores and mutexes from an interrupt.
Demo applications:
+ Update IntSemTest.c to provide more code coverage in xSemaphoreGenericGiveFromISR().
+ Ensure the MMU is turned on in the RZ IAR demo. It was already on in the RZ ARM demo.
- Re-introduce the ability to give a mutex from an ISR.
Common demo code:
- Add additional tests into the GenQTest files for priority inheritance and using a mutex from an ISR.
+ Update the RZ IAR project so it targets the RZ RSK rather than custom hardware.
+ Update the RZ ARM/DS-5 project so it targets the RZ RSK rather than custom hardware.
+ Updated RX64M demos to use the new iodefine.h naming.
Cortex-A9 port related:
+ Update IAR, ARM and GCC Cortex-A9 port layers to include a 'task exit error' function which is called if a task attempts to incorrectly exit its implementing function.
+ Moved the instruction which switches into system mode out of the restore context macro, as it is only needed when starting the first task.
Core kernel files related:
+ Ensure there are no references to the mutexes held count when mutexes are excluded from the build.
