Status: - = Planned. X = In progress, some work done. * = Done. ? = Not sure if worth the effort or useful at all. N = Decided against. Within 2.3.x (hopefully) * Add an USB abstract device driver class. * USB driver implementation for STM32F102/STM32F103. * Add a Serial over USB generic device driver implementing a USB Communication Device Class and offering a Serial-like interface to the applications. * Add I-class APIs for mailboxes. * Modify chEvtBroadcast() to accept a flags mask as parameter. * Add a "transmission end" event to the serial device driver model. X Implement the "transmission end" serial driver event on those platforms supporting the feature. * Swap TIME_IMMEDIATE and TIME_INFINITE values. * Improvements to the message passing mechanism in order to allow "delayed, out of order, responses". ? Make thread functions return void and add a CH_THREAD macro for threads declaration in order to hide compiler-specific optimizations for thread functions. - Introduce compiler-info macros to the port layer, improve the test reports with the compiler info. - Test suite overhaul, the API should be more generic in order to be used with different subsystems and not just the kernel. - Long duration "IRQ storm" stress test applications for all supported architectures. - Device drivers for STM8/STM8L (ADC, PWM, bring them on par with STM32). - Device drivers for LPC1xxx (ADC, PWM, bring them on par with STM32). - Implement USB Mass Storage Class support and demo using the MMC_SPI driver as back-end. X File System infrastructure. - Official FatFs wrapper using the new infrastructure, dedicated test suite. X Transactional flash file system implementation. X I2C device driver class support and at least one implementation. X Shared DMA channels support in the STM32/STM8L HALs. X RAM ISR vectors support in the STM32 HAL. X New device driver models: Clock, Systick, PT, RTC, WDG, DAC, Power Monitor. Later but within 2.x.x - Batch testing of the ARM7/ARMCMx port using OpenOCD, with reports. - Debug-related features and tools. ? Add a *very simple* ADC API for single one shot sampling (implement it as an injected conversion on the STM32). - Improved Makefile system. - Serial over UART complex driver driver, evaluate from the performance results if to make obsolete the current dedicated Serial driver. - LPC17xx family support. - Official segmented interrupts support and abstraction in CMx port. - USB driver implementation for STM32F105/STM32F107. - MAC driver revision in order to support copy-less operations, this will require changes to lwIP or a new TCP/IP stack however. - MAC driver for STM32F107 (hardware missing). - Update C++ wrapper (Heap, Pools, Mailboxes and any new feature). - Threads Pools manager in the library. - Add a switch to enable/disable the priority inheritance algorithm in mutexes. - Dedicated TCP/IP stack. ? ISO7816 driver over UART driver, both reader and card side (hardware missing). - Merge the Coldfire branch in mainline (hardware missing). - Merge the H8S branch in mainline (hardware missing). Ideas for 3.x.x: - MMU/MPU support. - High resolution timers and tickless kernel. - Multicore support. Side projects: X ChibiOS Wizard, UML modeling and ChibiOS applications code and documentation generator. - Visual debugger/monitor interfaced through OpenOCD.
