||
|

|
Release History and Changes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Reliance Edge v2.0, January 2017
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Added support for Linux as a host environment
|
||
|
|
- All "host" projects may now be built in either Windows or Linux
|
||
|
|
using the make command. The formatter and image builder are built,
|
||
|
|
and the checker and image copier are also built in the
|
||
|
|
commercial kit.
|
||
|
|
- An additional host tool has been added for Linux only: redfuse. It
|
||
|
|
is a File System in User Space (FUSE) implementation, allowing a
|
||
|
|
Reliance Edge volume to be mounted directly on Linux for
|
||
|
|
easy access. It is built from the host project folder using the
|
||
|
|
command make redfuse.
|
||
|
|
- The OS-specific API test (commercial kit only) is now ported to run
|
||
|
|
on Linux for the purpose of verifying the FUSE implementation.
|
||
|
|
- Fixed a bug that could leave a directory in an invalid state after
|
||
|
|
removing files. For example, an affected directory might report a
|
||
|
|
non-zero length even after all files had been deleted.
|
||
|
|
- Fixed a bug that would leave the driver in a bad state if a mount
|
||
|
|
operation failed due to missing or corrupt metaroot blocks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Reliance Edge v1.1 (Beta), November 2016
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Added support for a discard (trim) interface in the commercial kit.
|
||
|
|
While discards are not integral to the behavior of the filesystem,
|
||
|
|
they allow certain types of Flash drivers and media to perform at
|
||
|
|
optimal speed and efficiency. The commercial version of Reliance
|
||
|
|
Edge now allows the user to implement this interface for compatible
|
||
|
|
storage media.
|
||
|
|
- This change added new fields to the configuration files redconf.h
|
||
|
|
and redconf.c. The configuration utility has been updated to version
|
||
|
|
1.1 and existing configuration files must be updated using the
|
||
|
|
updated utility.
|
||
|
|
- The configuration utility now has keyboard shortcuts for opening and
|
||
|
|
saving the configuration.
|
||
|
|
- The configuration utility now adds version macros to easily identify
|
||
|
|
when an outdated configuration file is used with Reliance Edge or
|
||
|
|
vice versa.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Reliance Edge v1.0.4, July 2016
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Added ARM mbed and ARM mbed OS support in the commercial kit, with
|
||
|
|
an example projects for ARM mbed OS on the NXP FRDM-K64F board.
|
||
|
|
- Some minor deficiencies in the POSIX-like API test suite have
|
||
|
|
been addressed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Reliance Edge v1.0.3, June 2016
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Added support for static memory allocation configuration in FreeRTOS
|
||
|
|
version 9. No common code changes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Reliance Edge v1.0.2, February 2016
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Common Code Changes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- A new per-volume configuration option has been added: users can
|
||
|
|
specify a number of times to retry a block device read, write or
|
||
|
|
flush operation before returning a failure. The configuration tool
|
||
|
|
has been updated to version 1.0.2 with this change.
|
||
|
|
- This added a new field to the volume configuration in redconf.c:
|
||
|
|
existing redconf.c files from v1.0.1 and earlier must be updated to
|
||
|
|
work with v1.0.2. Open redconf.h and redconf.c with the
|
||
|
|
configuration tool, enable "Retry block device I/O on failure" for
|
||
|
|
any volumes if desired, and save the redconf files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FreeRTOS Port Changes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Added support for the STM32 HAL SD card driver in the FreeRTOS block
|
||
|
|
device interface. Two boards are supported out-of-the-box: the
|
||
|
|
STM324xG-EVAL and the STM32F746NG-Discovery. A sample project is
|
||
|
|
included for the STM324xG-EVAL.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MQX Port Changes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Fixed a bug which prevented Reliance Edge from compiling if the File
|
||
|
|
System Essentials API was selected in the configuration.
|
||
|
|
- Fixed a bug which would have returned an uninitialized value from
|
||
|
|
RedOsBDevFlush() for block devices that support flushing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Reliance Edge v1.0.1, October 2015
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Added MQX RTOS support in the commercial kit, with example projects
|
||
|
|
for the Kinetis Design Studio.
|
||
|
|
- Bug fix in the F_DRIVER implementation of the FreeRTOS block
|
||
|
|
device service.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Reliance Edge v1.0, July 2015
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Common Code Changes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- First release of commercial kit and MISRA C:2012 Design
|
||
|
|
Assurance Package. The commercial kit includes many new tools and
|
||
|
|
tests which were not previously available.
|
||
|
|
- Overhauled parsing of command-line parameters to be consistent for
|
||
|
|
all tools and tests. Command-line tools now use Unix-style short and
|
||
|
|
long options (such as -H and --help) instead of DOS-style switches
|
||
|
|
(such as /?).
|
||
|
|
- Renamed all os/*/include/ostypes.h headers to
|
||
|
|
os/*/include/redostypes.h, so that all headers use the
|
||
|
|
product prefix. If you created a port using v0.9, this header needs
|
||
|
|
to be renamed and its header guard (#ifndef OSTYPES_H etc.) should
|
||
|
|
also be updated.
|
||
|
|
- Add a new header for OS-specific MISRA C:2012 deviation macros,
|
||
|
|
located at os/*/include/redosdeviations.h. If you created a port
|
||
|
|
using v0.9, copy the template from os/stub/include/redosdeviations.h
|
||
|
|
into the include directory.
|
||
|
|
- Eliminated support for sector sizes less than 256. If using a
|
||
|
|
smaller sector size (say for a RAM disk), this must now be emulated
|
||
|
|
in the implementation of the block device OS service.
|
||
|
|
- Added RedFseFormat() as an optional FSE API, allowing FSE
|
||
|
|
applications to format the volume at run-time.
|
||
|
|
- This added a new macro to redconf.h: existing redconf.h files from
|
||
|
|
v0.9 must be updated to work with v1.0. Open redconf.h with the
|
||
|
|
configuration tool, ignore the warning about the missing macro, and
|
||
|
|
save it.
|
||
|
|
- Internal restructuring has renamed the macros for the string and
|
||
|
|
memory functions used in redconf.h. An existing redconf.h file from
|
||
|
|
v0.9 will need to be updated; for a file containing the old names,
|
||
|
|
the new config tool will default to using the (slow) Reliance Edge
|
||
|
|
string/memory functions; to use the C library or custom versions,
|
||
|
|
this will need to be selected in the configuration utility.
|
||
|
|
- Fix a bug which would result in an error when attempting to create a
|
||
|
|
name with one or more trailing path separators (such as
|
||
|
|
red_mkdir("/foo/bar/")).
|
||
|
|
- Fix a bug where an open handle for an inode on one volume would
|
||
|
|
prevent the same inode number from being deleted on a
|
||
|
|
different volume.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FreeRTOS Port Changes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The implementation of the timestamp OS service no longer requires
|
||
|
|
that configUSE_TIMERS be set to 1.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Reliance Edge v0.9 (Beta), April 2015
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First public release.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
Known Issues
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Visual Studio 2005
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Reliance Edge Win32 port (used for the host tools and the Win32 test
|
||
|
|
project) cannot be compiled by Visual Studio 2005. This is not going to
|
||
|
|
be fixed since VS2005 is an old toolset. Newer versions of Visual
|
||
|
|
Studio, starting with Visual Studio 2008, work just fine.
