3.0.x preview branch

Postby Giovanni » Mon Apr 06, 2015 11:12 am

Hello,

After two years of development, the preview 1 of ChibiOS 3.0.0 embedded collection has been released. The code base is pretty much final, next weeks will see only bug fixes, finalization of quality procedures and improvement work on the web site.

Release Note:
ChibiOS 3.0 is now composed of several independent but inter-operable sub-projects: RT, NIL, HAL.

ChibiOS 3.0 general highlights

- New files tree organization makes the system more modular.
- A community-contributed code area is now part of the files architecture, it will allow for easier integration of contributed code without much screening.
- Improved startup files, scatter files and build system.
- New licensing options.
- Free ChibiStudio IDE support.

What's new in RT 3.0

- MISRA 2012 compliant.
- Entirely static for enhanced safety.
- System data is now encapsulated in a single "ch" global structure for enhanced safety.
- System integrity check runtime functionality for enhanced safety.
- Tick-less kernel mode helps implement ultra-low-power devices.
- High Resolution Virtual Timers module allows to specify very short intervals.
- High Resolution system time.
- Clock-cycle accurate Time Measurement module.
- Clock-cycle accurate polled delays.
- Statistic module provides high resolution measurement of threads, ISRs and critical zones.
- New recursive locks in addition to the classical critical zone primitives.
- New recursive mode for Mutexes.
- Enhanced suspend/resume mechanism for threads.
- CMSIS-compliant ARM Cortex-Mx port.
- CMSIS RTOS API available.
- Multi-compilers architecture for ports.
- Codebase now compatible with GCC link time optimizations.

What's new in HAL 3.0

- MISRA 2012 compliant.
- HAL is now entirely licensed under Apache 2.0 license.
- HAL has been decoupled from RT. It can now be adapted to any reasonable RTOS or even used with no RTOS at all thanks to a new abstraction layer named OSAL. OSAL implementations are provided for RT, NIL, bare metal ARM Cortex-Mx cores, bare metal Power e200z cores.
- New driver models for ST, I2S, DAC.
- Revamped ADC, ICU, PWM, RTC, SDC, USB drivers.
- Greatly improved STM32 family support, all sub-families have been added.
- Support for new families expanding (Kinetis, Tiva, SPC5xx, RL78, RX62N).
- Streams, channels, files and block devices abstract interfaces.

New addition NIL 1.0

- MISRA 2012 compliant.
- Entirely static for enhanced safety.
- No linked lists anywhere in the code for enhanced safety.
- System data is encapsulated in a single "nil" global structure for enhanced safety.
- Tick-less kernel mode helps implement ultra-low-power devices.
- Ultra compact kernel, well below 1kB in its maximum configuration.
- Upward compatible with RT, it implements a subset of the RT API.
- Reduced RAM usage, 20-28 bytes for task and just 4 bytes for a semaphore on 32 bits architectures, half of that on 8/16 bits architectures.
- ARM Cortex-Mx port based on CMSIS architecture.
- Multi-compilers architecture for ports.
