Status: - = Planned. X = In progress, some work done. * = Done. ? = Not sure if worth the effort or useful at all. N = Decided against. Current Pipeline (2.4.0): * Complete test cycle. X Complete documentation cycle. - Release. Version 2.4.1 X STM32F2 validation (so far testing done on STM32F4 only). X Revision of the RTCv2 driver implementation. X SDC driver port to STM32F2 and STM32F4. - CAN2 support and CAN driver test on STM32F2/F4. Within 2.5.x: - Revision of scheduling strategy for threads at equal priority. - Handling of Virtual Timer callbacks out of critical zone. - Add normal API (not iclass) variants of the VT functions. - Add the RTC service inside the kernel and port, remove from HAL. - Add option to use the RTC counter instead of the systick counter into the trace buffer. - Add a chSysIntegrityCheck() API to the kernel. - Add guard pages as extra stack checking mechanism. Guard pages should be of the same type of the stack alignment type. - Add a CH_THREAD macro for threads declaration in order to hide compiler-specific optimizations for thread functions. All demos will have to be updated. - Runtime errors manager in HAL. - Critical errors manager in HAL (to replace or complement assertions). - Streaming DAC/I2S driver model and STM32 implementation. - MMC_SPI driver speedup. - USB driver model revision. - MAC driver for STM32F107, STM32F2xx, STM32F4xx. - STM32 OTG USB cell support for CL, F2, F4 devices. - Add ADC3 support to the STM32 ADC driver. - Update C++ wrapper. - FatFs 0.9x integration. - Nios II support. - LPC17xx support. - NUC120 support. Within 2.x.x - Software I2C implementation using a GPT instance for timings. - Static memory allocation hook macros in kernel code. X File System infrastructure. X Implement the "transmission end" serial driver event on those platforms supporting the feature, so far only done in STM32 driver. - Test suite overhaul, the API should be more generic in order to be used with different subsystems and not just the kernel. - Reduce number of demos globally, add demos to a repository or on web site. Required in order to reduce support effort. - FatFs wrapper. - New device driver models: Clock, Systick, WDG. - Add UART4 support to the STM32 UART driver (CL line only, HD has a nasty shared interrupt). - Shared DMA channels support in the STM8L HAL. - 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. - Batch testing of the ARM7/ARMCMx port using OpenOCD, with reports. X Transactional flash file system implementation. - Serial over UART complex driver driver, evaluate from the performance results if to make obsolete the current dedicated Serial driver. - Official segmented interrupts support and abstraction in CMx port. - MAC driver revision in order to support copy-less operations, this will require changes to lwIP or a new TCP/IP stack however. - Threads Pools manager in the library. - Dedicated TCP/IP stack. ? Evaluate if change thread functions to return void is worthwhile. ? Add a *very simple* ADC API for single one shot sampling (implement it as an injected conversion on the STM32). ? Add a switch to enable/disable the priority inheritance algorithm in mutexes. ? ISO7816 driver over UART driver, both reader and card side. ? 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.
