-<p><b>MMC/SD and USB Mass Storage Support</b>.
- The nuttx-0.3.17 release includes additional support for USB in NuttX.
- The following new features were added:
+<p>
+ This release includes two partially completed ports, several new features, and a
+ couple of important bug fixes. The two partially completed ports are:
+ <ul>
+ <li>The STMicro STR71x processor and configuration for the Olimex STR-P711 board, and</li>
+ <li>The Hitachi SH-1 using the SH1_LCEVB1 (SH-1/US7032EVB1) board.</li>
+ </ul>
+</p>
+<p>
+ Progress on these ports is stalled (as detailed in the ChangeLog).
+</p>
+<p>
+ The new features focus primarily on management of block devices and extensions of
+ the NuttShell (NSH). These new features include:
<ul>
- <li>Added support for SPI-based MMC/SD cards (with an SPI driver for the NXP LPC214x).</li>
- <li>Added USB storage class device side driver (BBB)</li>
- <li>Added an example that demonstrates the USB storage class by exporting the SPI based MMC/SD card on the NXP LPC214x.</li>
+ <li>A loop device that converts a file into a block device,</li>
+ <li>A block to character (BCH) driver that allow access a block device as if it were character device, </li>
+ <li>Added strcasecmp() and strncasecmp() libc functions, and </li>
+ <li>Added the 'dd' and 'losetup' commands to NSH. These commands (along with mkfatfs and mount),
+ give good managment of filesystems on the target.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
- This is an early alpha release of these drivers.
- A known problem is that the storage driver does not work properly with WinXP when debug features are disabled.
+ Several bugs were fixed, the most important of which are:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Fixd a race condition workaround delay in LPC214X SPI logic. This was also
+ the cause of some bad MMC/SD performance on that platform.</li>
+ <li>Fixed a recently introduced FAT file system problem: It would mount a (invalid)
+ FAT file system even if the medium is not formatted!</li>
+ <li>Corrected two iother important errors in the FAT lseek implementation:
+ (1) the sectors-per-cluster value was being reset to "1" and (2) important
+ lseek logic was omitted when the seek position was zero.</li>
+ </ul>
</p>
-<p><b>Bugs Fixed</b>
- Several important bugs were also fixed in the FAT file system, USB serial driver and
- NXP LPC214x USB controller driver (see the current <a href="#currentrelease">ChangeLog</a> for details).
+<p>
+ The FAT filesystem has had many bugs fixed in it and, I think, is now maturing
+ and becoming stable.
</p>
<p>
- These changes were verified only on the mcu123.com NXP LPC2148 board using a Linux development environment.
- USB testing was performed using both a Linux host and a WinXP host.
- As usual, any feedback about bugs or suggestions for improvement would be greatly appreciated.
+ These changes were verified only on the mcu123.com NXP LPC2148 board, the Hitachi
+ SH1_LCEVB1 board, and the Linux simulator, all using a Linux development environment.

- * Fixed a bug in the LPC214x USB driver: It was not properly handling request buffers
