* These are the publically visible changes since eCos v1.2.1 ** Target side platforms *** These are the eCos 1.2.1 platforms... **** ARM: ARM7TDMI - ARM PID7T board Sharp LH77790 (ARM7DI core) - ARM AEB-1 board **** Fujitsu SPARClite: MB86831, MB86832, MB86833 - Fujitsu MB86800-MA01 board SIS - SPARClite simulator **** Matsushita MN10300: MN103002 - standard evaluation board MN103002 - standard evaluation board simulator **** Toshiba TX39 (MIPS R3900 derivative): TX39 - JMR3904 evaluation board TX39 - JMR3904 evaluation board simulator **** MPC800 PowerPC: MPC823 - Cogent CMA287-23 MPC850 - Cogent CMA287-50 MPC860 - Cogent CMA286-60 MPC860 - MPC8xxFADS (NB unsupported by Cygnus, contributed by Kevin Hester) MPC823, MPC850, MPC860 - PSIM simulator **** i386/Linux synthetic target *** The following are the new target platforms... **** ARM: ARM7TDMI - ARM PID7T board configured in big-endian mode Cirrus Logic EP7211 (ARM720) CPU - Cirrus Logic EDB7211 evaluation board (silk-screened EDB7111-2) Cirrus Logic CL-PS7111 (ARM710C) CPU - Cirrus Logic EB7111 evaluation board Sharp LH77790 (ARM7DI core) - ARM AEB-1 rev C board **** PowerPC Motorola MBX PowerPC Evaluation Board ** Host side platforms *** These are the eCos 1.2.1 platforms.... **** Redhat Linux 4.2 and later **** Solaris 2.5.1 and later **** Windows NT 4.0SP3 and later **** Windows 95/98 (Beta) *** These are the new host platforms... **** None yet ** Host tool features **** None yet ** Drivers *** Watchdog Drivers added for: Sharp LH77790 (ARM7DI core) - ARM AEB-1 board ** New toolchain features ** API additions *** PCI library - providing an API to control the PCI buses of supported targets *** Debugging The file <cyg/kernel/test/stackmon.h> defines some functions that can be used to profile stack usage. ** API changes *** Kernel **** KAPI include/kapi.h (cyg_thread_delete): is now a boolean function to indicate success. Failure is when the thread needs to run in order to become killed. ** ISO C library ** HAL changes *** i386/linux The eCos idle loop will not load the host system anymore (except in special configurations, see linux_misc.c). *** Sparclite Where supported by the targetted platform, it is now possible to use Multiple Vector Trapping (MVT). *** Common ** Other new features
