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.
- Add additional tests to GenQTest.c to test the updated priority inheritance mechanism.
- Slightly increase some delays in recmutex.c to prevent it reporting false errors in high load test cases.
SAMA5D3 Xplained IAR demo:
- Remove space being allocated for stacks that are not used.
- Remove explicit enabling of interrupts in ISR handers as this is now done from the central ISR callback before the individual handers are invoked.
- Reduce both the allocated heap size and the stack allocated to each task.
- Enable I cache.
- Add full interrupt nesting tests.
- Add additional critical section/context switching tests.
- Set interrupt priorities so everything can run at once without any software watchdog errors.
- Re-enable interrupts in each IRQ handler.
- Add in run-time stats.
