*** ChibiOS next Release Notes. ***
******************************************************************************
ChibiOS next is composed of several independent but inter-operable
sub-projects: RT, NIL, SB, HAL, EX. Plus several external libraries
integrated in our structure: WolfSSL, FatFS and lwIP.
*** ChibiOS next highlights ****
- NEW RT 7.0.
- Support for RP2040 and Raspberry Pico board.
- Support for STM32L5xx, STM32WBxx and STM32WLxx families.
- Dynamic clock support in HAL.
- Improved STM32 HAL.
- Added ARMv8-M port.
*** ChibiOS next general improvements ***
*** What's new in RT/NIL ports ***
- Addes SMP port for Cortex-M0 required by RP2040.
- The old generic ARMCMx port has been split in ARMv6-M, ARMv7-M and ARMv8-M-ML
ports.
- Simplified interface between RT/NIL and port layer.
- Removed duplicated files in port layers: chtypes.h, chcore_timer.h.
*** What's new in OS Library 1.3.0 ***
- Internal rework to make it compatible with RT 7.0.0 and NIL 4.1.0.
*** What's new in SB 1.1.0 ***
- Internal rework to make it compatible with RT 7.0.0.
*** What's new in RT 7.0.0 ***
- Support for full-SMP multi-core threading.
- Support for decoupled multi-core threading.
- 64 bits monotonic time stamps with the same resolution of system time.
- Much more efficient and accurate Virtual Timers in tick-less mode.
- Automatic reload of Virtual Timers, now both one-shot and continuous timers
are supported.
- Internal reorganization to better fit the general architectural design. For
example, lists/queues code has been centralized in a dedicated module.
- New trace event for entering the "ready" state.
*** What's new in NIL 4.1.0 ***
- Internal rework to make it compatible with RT 7.0.0.
*** What's new in HAL 7.2.0 ***
- Clocks reconfiguration API.
*** What's new in EX 1.2.0 ***
- None.
*** What's new in AVR HAL support ***
- None.
*** What's new in STM32 HAL support ***
- Dynamic clock support for L4+, G0 and G4 families.
- Support for more STM32 sub-families.
*** What's new in tools ***
- More configuration files updater scripts.
