3 RELIANCE EDGE RELEASE NOTES
6 This file contains a list of updates made to Reliance Edge over the
7 course of recent releases and a list of known issues.
10 Release History and Changes
12 Reliance Edge v1.0.4, July 2016
14 - Added ARM mbed and ARM mbed OS support in the commercial kit, with
15 an example projects for ARM mbed OS on the NXP FRDM-K64F board.
16 - Some minor deficiencies in the POSIX-like API test suite have
19 Reliance Edge v1.0.3, June 2016
21 - Added support for static memory allocation configuration in FreeRTOS
22 version 9. No common code changes.
24 Reliance Edge v1.0.2, February 2016
28 - A new per-volume configuration option has been added: users can
29 specify a number of times to retry a block device read, write or
30 flush operation before returning a failure. The configuration tool
31 has been updated to version 1.0.2 with this change.
32 - This added a new field to the volume configuration in to redconf.c:
33 existing redconf.c files from v1.0.1 and earlier must be updated to
34 work with v1.0.2. Open redconf.h and redconf.c with the
35 configuration tool, enable "Retry block device I/O on failure" for
36 any volumes if desired, and save the redconf files.
40 - Added support for the STM32 HAL SD card driver in the FreeRTOS block
41 device interface. Two boards are supported out-of-the-box: the
42 STM324xG-EVAL and the STM32F746NG-Discovery. A sample project is
43 included for the STM324xG-EVAL.
47 - Fixed a bug which prevented Reliance Edge from compiling if the File
48 System Essentials API was selected in the configuration.
49 - Fixed a bug which would have returned an uninitialized value from
50 RedOsBDevFlush() for block devices that support flushing.
52 Reliance Edge v1.0.1, October 2015
54 - Added MQX RTOS support in the commercial kit, with example projects
55 for the Kinetis Design Studio.
56 - Bug fix in the F_DRIVER implementation of the FreeRTOS block
59 Reliance Edge v1.0, July 2015
63 - First release of commercial kit and MISRA C:2012 Design
64 Assurance Package. The commercial kit includes many new tools and
65 tests which were not previously available.
66 - Overhauled parsing of command-line parameters to be consistent for
67 all tools and tests. Command-line tools now use Unix-style short and
68 long options (such as -H and --help) instead of DOS-style switches
70 - Renamed all os/*/include/ostypes.h headers to
71 os/*/include/redostypes.h, so that all headers use the
72 product prefix. If you created a port using v0.9, this header needs
73 to be renamed and its header guard (#ifndef OSTYPES_H etc.) should
75 - Add a new header for OS-specific MISRA C:2012 deviation macros,
76 located at os/*/include/redosdeviations.h. If you created a port
77 using v0.9, copy the template from os/stub/include/redosdeviations.h
78 into the include directory.
79 - Eliminated support for sector sizes less than 256. If using a
80 smaller sector size (say for a RAM disk), this must now be emulated
81 in the implementation of the block device OS service.
82 - Added RedFseFormat() as an optional FSE API, allowing FSE
83 applications to format the volume at run-time.
84 - This added a new macro to redconf.h: existing redconf.h files from
85 v0.9 must be updated to work with v1.0. Open redconf.h with the
86 configuration tool, ignore the warning about the missing macro, and
88 - Internal restructuring has renamed the macros for the string and
89 memory functions used in redconf.h. An existing redconf.h file from
90 v0.9 will need to be updated; for a file containing the old names,
91 the new config tool will default to using the (slow) Reliance Edge
92 string/memory functions; to use the C library or custom versions,
93 this will need to be selected in the configuration utility.
94 - Fix a bug which would result in an error when attempting to create a
95 name with one or more trailing path separators (such as
96 red_mkdir("/foo/bar/")).
97 - Fix a bug where an open handle for an inode on one volume would
98 prevent the same inode number from being deleted on a
101 FreeRTOS Port Changes
103 - The implementation of the timestamp OS service no longer requires
104 that configUSE_TIMERS be set to 1.
106 Reliance Edge v0.9 (Beta), April 2015
108 First public release.
115 The Reliance Edge Win32 port (used for the host tools and the Win32 test
116 project) cannot be compiled by Visual Studio 2005. This is not going to
117 be fixed since VS2005 is an old toolset. Newer versions of Visual
118 Studio, starting with Visual Studio 2008, work just fine.
