Nil port to other chips

Postby pito » Fri Sep 13, 2013 8:38 am

Hi, how difficult is a port to other arm chips/boards like LPC1343, LPC11U14, STM32VL, LPC812 etc with current Nil version?

Hi,

In the ChibiOS 3.0 branch there is the new Nil and it has already been ported on the Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4. Adding variants is not particularly complex because now it shares the HAL with ChibiOS/RT. When 3.0 will be ready both RTOSes will share the same ports.

What is the milestone for Chibios 3.0? I am waiting for it every day :)

Hi,

There is not a milestone yet but it is already functional and usable. I still have to decide which features to add before making it the official "trunk".

I think the 3.0.0 release will happen in early summer and it will include RT and NIL on top of a common HAL.
