- CHANGE: Added two new methods to the BaseSequentialStream interface:
chSequentialStreamPut() and chSequentialStreamGet().
- CHANGE: Removed the chioch.h header from the kernel, now channels interface
is exported by the HAL. Removed functions chPutWouldBlock() and
chGetWouldBlock().
- CHANGE: Removed macro chMsgGetS(), chMsgGet() is still available.
- CHANGE: chprintf() now takes a BaseSequentialStream as parameter instead
of a BaseChannel making it more generic.
- CHANGE: Now the shell requires a BaseSequentialStream instead of a
BaseChannel for communications making it more generic.
- CHANGE: Kernel memory pools now do not check the alignment of the inserted
objects, it is responsibility of the application to insert properly
aligned objects.
- CHANGE: The PORT_INT_REQUIRED_STACK parameter for the Cortex-Mx ports has
been increased to 32 from 16 because the stack frame sizes are increased
when compiling with optimizations disabled, which is common during
debugging. In order to save RAM trim back this value when compiling with
optimizations enabled (backported to 2.4.1).
- CHANGE: Renamed Ethernet driver in AT91 HAL ETHD1 (backported to 2.4.1).

interested in the HAL but just want to use the ChibiOS/RT kernel.
The demo is named ARMCM3-GENERIC-KERNEL and is defaulted to the STM32, in
order to use it on other families or on the ARM Cortex-M0 just change the
inclusion paths in the makefile.
- NEW: Integrated new FatFs version 0.8b.
- NEW: lwIP 1.4.0 has been integrated, this new version does not require
custom hooks into the Thread structure and is thus much lighter.
- CHANGE: Now the callback associated to input queues is invoked before
reading each character. Previously it was invoked only before going
to sleep into the THD_STATE_WTQUEUE state.
- CHANGE: Removed the option CH_USE_NESTED_LOCK, lwIP no more requires it and
it would have conflicted with CH_DBG_SYSTEM_STATE_CHECK which is far more
useful.
- CHANGE: Renamed the scheduler functions chSchIsRescRequiredExI() to
chSchIsPreemptionRequired(), chSchDoRescheduleI() to chSchDoReschedule(),
chSysSwitchI() to chSysSwitch(). All those functions were special cases
and not regular I-class APIs.
- CHANGE: Renamed the macros IDLE_THREAD_STACK_SIZE and INT_REQUIRED_STACK
to PORT_IDLE_THREAD_STACK_SIZE and PORT_INT_REQUIRED_STACK for consistency.
- CHANGE: Removed the "old" Cortex-M3 port from the code, the current port
has no drawbacks and the old port is now just a maintenance cost.
- CHANGE: Removed the CH_CURRP_REGISTER_CACHE option, it is GCC-specific so
it does not belong to the kernel options. The feature will be eventually
reimplemented as a port-specific option.
- CHANGE: Renamed the demo ARMCM3-STM32F107-GCC in ARMCM3-STM32F107 and added
IAR and Keil projects.
- CHANGE: Now the ARMCM3-STM32F107 demo targets the board Olimex STM32-P107
as default.
- CHANGE: Removed all the prefixes from the structure/union field names
in the HAL subsystem.
- CHANGE: Updated the documentation to use Doxygen 1.7.4 which produces a much
more readable output. Also modified the documentation layout to put functions
and variables ahead of everything else in the group pages.
Doxygen version below 1.7.4 cannot be used anymore because differences in
templates. Note that now there are two Doxygen projects, one for generating
the CHM file the other for plain HTML.

3411180).
*** 2.2.7 ***
- INFO: GCC test runs performed with YAGARTO 4.6.0.
- NEW: Added debug plugin for Eclipse under ./tools/eclipse.
- NEW: The debug macros chDbgCheck() and chDbgAssert() now can be externally
redefined. The macro chDbgCheck() no more includes the line number in the
description because incompatibility with the Cosmic compiler.
- NEW: Added a new functionality to the registry subsystem, now it is possible
to associate a name to the threads using chRegSetThreadName. The main and
idle threads have their name assigned by default.
- FIX: Fixed wrong check on CH_DBG_ENABLE_STACK_CHECK setting (bug 3387671).
- FIX: Fixed wrong APB1 frequency check (bug 3361039).
- FIX: Fixed missing state in shell demos (bug 3351556).

- NEW: Reorganization of the Cortex-Mx ports in order to reduced code and
comments duplication in the various headers (backported to 2.2.5).
- NEW: Improved the ARMv7-M sub-port now there are two modes: Compact and
Advanced.
The advanced mode is equivalent to the previous versions, the compact mode
is new and makes the kernel *much* smaller and generally faster but does
not support fast interrupts.
- NEW: Added to the ARMv6-M sub-port an option to use the PendSV exception
instead of NMI for preemption.
*** 2.2.4 ***
- FIX: Fixed CodeBlocks demo broken (bug 3304718).
- FIX: Fixed race condition in output queues (bug 3303908).
- FIX: Fixed CH_USE_HEAP and CH_USE_MALLOC_HEAP conflict (bug 3303841).

3298889).
- FIX: Fixed wrong identifier in AVR serial driver (bug 3292084).
- FIX: Fixed wrong macro check for STM32 XL devices (bug 3291898).
- FIX: Fixed SPI driver restart in STM32 SPI driver implementation, also
applied the same fix to the STM8S SPI driver (bug 3288758).
- FIX: Fixed missing state transition in ADC driver (bug 3288149).
- FIX: Fixed missing state transition in SPI driver (bug 3288112).
- NEW: Added an option to the kernel to not spawn the Idle Thread from within
chSysInit(), this way the application can spawn a custom idle thread or
even use the main() thread as idle thread.
- CHANGE: chiQGetFullI() and chOQGetFullI() become macros. The queues
subsystem has been optimized and is no more dependent on semaphores.
Note that the queues callbacks invocation policy has been slightly
changed, see the documentation.
*** 2.2.3 ***
- FIX: Fixed insufficient idle thread stack in Cortex-M0-GCC port
(bug 3226671).
- FIX: Fixed stack checking in Cortex-M0-GCC port (bug 3226657).
- FIX: Fixed wrong checks in PAL driver (bug 3224681).
- FIX: Fixed wrong checks in I/O Queues (bug 3219197).
- FIX: Fixed invalid assertion in adcConvert() (bug 3205410).
- NEW: Implemented stack checking in the Cortex-Mx RVCT port.
- NEW: Improved preemption implementation for the Cortex-M0, now it uses
the NMI vector in order to restore the original context. The change makes
IRQ handling faster and also saves some RAM/ROM space. The GCC port code
now does not inline the epilogue code in each ISR saving significant ROM
space for each interrupt handler in the system.
*** 2.2.2 ***
- FIX: Fixed race condition in CM0 ports, the fix also improves the
ISR latency (bug 3193062).
- FIX: Fixed Cortex-Mx linker scripts alignment of __heap_base__, the

constants. Fixed the relative documentation in various places.
- Documentation related fixes.
*** 2.2.1 ***

3114467).
- CHANGE: Bugs 3114467 and 3114481 have been fixed by backporting the 2.1.x
PWM driver, there is a difference in the PWM callback parameters.

Cortex-Mx port (bug 3025133).
- NEW: Added friendly interrupt vectors names to the STM32 HAL (change request
3023944).
- CHANGE: Removed the option -mabi=apcs-gnu from all the Cortex-Mx demos. The
option is not compatible with the 64 bits stack alignment now default in
the Cortex-Mx port. Note that the 64 bits alignment has a cost both as
performance and as space but it is the "standard".
*** 2.0.1 ***
- FIX: Fixed notification order in input queues (bug 3020708).
- FIX: Fixed non functional CH_CURRP_REGISTER_CACHE option in the Cortex-M3
port (bug 3020702).
- FIX: Fixed non functional CH_DBG_ENABLE_STACK_CHECK option in the Cortex-M3
caused by GCC 4.5.0, the fix also improves the context switch performance
because GCC 4.5.0 apparently was generating useless instructions within the
very critical context switch code (bug 3019738).
- FIX: Fixed insufficient stack space assigned to the idle thread in
Cortex-M3 port (bug 3019594).
- FIX: Fixed missing check in chIQReadTimeout() and chIQWriteTimeout() (bug
3019158).
- FIX: Fixed instability in Mutexes subsystem (bug 3019099).
- NEW: Added timers clock macros to the STM32 clock tree HAL driver.
*** 2.0.0 ***
- NEW: Implemented the concept of thread references, this mechanism ensures
that a dynamic thread's memory is not freed while some other thread still
owns a reference to the thread. Static threads are not affected by the new
mechanism. Two new APIs have been added: chThdAddRef() and chThdRelease().
- NEW: Now more than one thread can be waiting in chThdWait() as long they
own a reference.
- NEW: Implemented a new threads registry subsystem, the registry allows to
enumerate the active threads at runtime and/or from a debugger. This is
a preparatory step for a dedicated ChibiOS/RT debugger.
- NEW: New chCoreFree() API that returns the core memory left.
- NEW: Added a PowerPC port and demo targeting the SPC563M/MPC563xM
ST/Freescale automotive SOCs.
- NEW: Added STM8 port and demo targeting the Raisonance REva board
with STM8S208RB piggyback.
- NEW: New unified ARM Cortex-Mx port, this port supports both the ARMv6M
and ARMv7-M architectures (Cortex-M0/M1/M3/M4 so far). The new port also
allow to easily add to new Cortex-M implementations by simply adding a
parameters file (cmparams.h).
- NEW: Improved clock initialization for the STM32, now it is possible to
configure the clock using any clock source and any HSE frequency.
- NEW: The STM32 clock tree parameters and checks are now calculated into
a separate file in order to support multiple clock trees for different
sub-families of the STM32 platform.
- NEW: Added separated clock trees for the STM32 LD/MD/HD sub-family and
the CL sub-family. Now the selection of the sub-family is done in the
board.h file, there is no more the need to put -DSTM32F10X_xx into
the makefile.
- NEW: Added support for STM32/HD/CL UART4 and UART5, thanks Egon for the
patch.
- NEW: Embedded Artists LPCxpresso Base Board support files added.
- NEW: LPC11xx support, drivers (Serial, PAL, HAL) and demo.
- NEW: LPC13xx support, drivers (Serial, PAL, HAL), demo and reports.
- NEW: The port layer now can "capture" the implementation of individual
scheduler API functions in order to provide architecture-optimized
versions. This is done because further scheduler optimizations are
becoming increasingly pointless without considering architecture and
compiler related constraints.
- NEW: Updated the STM32 FW Library files to latest version 3.3.0.
- NEW: AT91SAM7 HAL support for the DGBU UART peripheral, as SD3.
- NEW: Added a demo for the AT91SAM7S256 and board files for the Olimex
SAM7-P256. The demo has been contributed by Alexander Kozaruk.
- NEW: Added core variant name macro in chcore.h and platform name in
hal_lld.h, the info are printed in the test report and from the "info"
shell command.
- NEW: Added BOARD_NAME macro to the various board.h files.
- NEW: Added a MemoryStream class under ./os/various.
- NEW: Added Mac OS-X support for the simulator. The Linux simulator has
been renamed to Posix simulator in order to include this change in a
single project.
- NEW: New articles, sections and various improvements to the documentation.
- NEW: Added to the simulators shell demos two new commands: threads and mem,
that show the currently active threads (using the new registry) and the
memory allocators state.
- NEW: New articles and guides in the documentation.
- OPT: New Cortex-M3 port code, *huge* performance improvements in all the
context switching related benchmarks (up to 18% depending on the benchmark).
The new code does no more require the use of the PendSV vector that is
thus available to the user, it also saves four RAM bytes for each thread
in the system. The old code is still available as a fall back option while
the new one is being hardened by peer review and time, the two ports are
perfectly interchangeable.
- OPT: Speed/size optimization to the events subsystem.
- OPT: Speed/size optimization to the mutexes subsystem.
- OPT: Speed/size optimization to the condvars subsystem.
- OPT: Speed/size optimization to the synchronous messages subsystem.
- OPT: Small size optimization in the semaphores subsystem.
- OPT: Minor optimizations in the "compact" code path.
- OPT: Optimization on the interface between scheduler and port layer, now
the kernel is even smaller and the context switch performance improved
quite a bit on all the supported architectures.
- OPT: Simplified the implementation of chSchYieldS() and made it a macro.
The previous implementation was probably overkill and took too much space
even if a bit faster.
- OPT: Internal optimization in the serial driver, it now is a bit smaller
and uses less RAM (all architectures).

- FIX: Fixed missing volatile modifier for p_time field in Thread structure
(bug 2789501).
- CHANGE: Made the option CH_DBG_THREADS_PROFILING default to TRUE because it
is now required in order to execute the whole test suite. Note that this
