arduino-builder 1.3.25 (shipped with Arduino 1.8.5) forces full
recompilation when any file in the core directory is modified. Avoid
full recompilation by placing generated ld script into build
directory, not source directory.
Also fix an issue where git version description would not be generated
if there were spaces in build path.
In tools menu, boards belonging to each platform are grouped together.
The title of the groups is the board package name. When switching
between versions, mentioning the version number in package name helps
identify the installed version.
Rename board group from "ESP8266 Modules" to "ESP8266 Boards", to be
more similar to other platforms, and to reflect the fact that most
entries included are boards, not modules.
As an extra change, when building the boards manager package, set
version number in platform.txt based on git tag name. This saves one
step when creating the release — don't need to update platform.txt
twice.
Closes https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/issues/5007.
BearSSL (https://www.bearssl.org) is a TLS(SSL) library written by
Thomas Pornin that is optimized for lower-memory embedded systems
like the ESP8266. It supports a wide variety of modern ciphers and
is unique in that it doesn't perform any memory allocations during
operation (which is the unfortunate bane of the current axTLS).
BearSSL is also absolutely focused on security and by default performs
all its security checks on x.509 certificates during the connection
phase (but if you want to be insecure and dangerous, that's possible
too).
While it does support unidirectional SSL buffers, like axTLS,
as implemented the ESP8266 wrappers only support bidirectional
buffers. These bidirectional buffers avoid deadlocks in protocols
which don't have well separated receive and transmit periods.
This patch adds several classes which allow connecting to TLS servers
using this library in almost the same way as axTLS:
BearSSL::WiFiClientSecure - WiFiClient that supports TLS
BearSSL::WiFiServerSecure - WiFiServer supporting TLS and client certs
It also introduces objects for PEM/DER encoded keys and certificates:
BearSSLX509List - x.509 Certificate (list) for general use
BearSSLPrivateKey - RSA or EC private key
BearSSLPublicKey - RSA or EC public key (i.e. from a public website)
Finally, it adds a Certificate Authority store object which lets
BearSSL access a set of trusted CA certificates on SPIFFS to allow it
to verify the identity of any remote site on the Internet, without
requiring RAM except for the single matching certificate.
CertStoreSPIFFSBearSSL - Certificate store utility
Client certificates are supported for the BearSSL::WiFiClientSecure, and
what's more the BearSSL::WiFiServerSecure can also *require* remote clients
to have a trusted certificate signed by a specific CA (or yourself with
self-signing CAs).
Maximum Fragment Length Negotiation probing and usage are supported, but
be aware that most sites on the Internet don't support it yet. When
available, you can reduce the memory footprint of the SSL client or server
dramatically (i.e. down to 2-8KB vs. the ~22KB required for a full 16K
receive fragment and 512b send fragment). You can also manually set a
smaller fragment size and guarantee at your protocol level all data will
fit within it.
Examples are included to show the usage of these new features.
axTLS has been moved to its own namespace, "axtls". A default "using"
clause allows existing apps to run using axTLS without any changes.
The BearSSL::WiFi{client,server}Secure implements the axTLS
client/server API which lets many end user applications take advantage
of BearSSL with few or no changes.
The BearSSL static library used presently is stored at
https://github.com/earlephilhower/bearssl-esp8266 and can be built
using the standard ESP8266 toolchain.
* Add flash for vtable destination, make it default
Add an option for placing vtables in flash to complement the existing
iram and heap options. "make flash"
Now that there is a way to change it, move to vtables in flash as default
as only users with interrupts which use vtables require the vtable to
be in RAM. For those users, if the tables are small enough they can put
them in IRAM and save heap space for their app. If not, then the vtables
can be placed in HEAP which supports much larger tables.
* Add VTable menu, FLASH as default, remove Makefile
Convert from manual "make" operated app.ld creation to runtime creation
whose options are selected from the build menu.
Use a prelink recipe to create the output app.ld file each run, without
need for any special tools.
Update the boards.txt.py script to generate this new config.
Generate and preserve a linker .MAP file for the project in the usual
build directory. This map file is useful for finding out where FLASH,
IROM, and IRAM are being used as it shows gcc internally generated
things such as jump tables and constant function-local variables.
* provide full version descriptor, displayed in debug mode
* unix: shows core version like under windows when git is unavailable
* store strings in progmem
* version string honours NDEBUG
* add ARDUINO_ESP8266_GIT_DESC
restore ARDUINO_ESP8266_GIT_VER
restore global variable "core_version"
don't print full version on setDebugOutput(true)
set platform.txt version to 2.4.1-pre
hide irrelevant boot version
fix typo
* lwip2: fix disconnection/reconnection issue
also:
improve version string
remove useless message
* lwip2: bump tag before 2.4.1
* lwip2: improve netif flags management on git side
* full-version string: remove useless NDEBUG in separate source file
* do not automatically enable sdk messages along with core messages
* automatically reenable sdk messages along with core messages *before* setup not after
* check serial port when showing version-string + move sdk messages enabler in hardware serial
* + license header
* updated and tested windows commands in platform.txt (without git)
* updated and tested windows commands in platform.txt (without git)
* update package builder accordingly
+ generates boards.rst
+ generate and replace boards section in package.json
+ generate ldscripts
+ new debug option: OOM
+ new led menu for generic board
- Update SDK header files and libraries to SDK 2.0.0 plus 2.0.0_16_08_09
patch
- Remove mem_manager.o from libmain.a (replaced with umm_malloc)
- Disable switch from DIO to QIO mode for certain flash chips (saves
IRAM space)
- Add user_rf_cal_sector_set; it points to rf_init_data sector.
- Change the way rf_init_data is spoofed.
This is now done by wrapping spi_flash_read and returning the data we
need during startup sequence.
- Place lwip library into flash using linker script instead of section
attributes (saves IRAM space)
* Use newlib libc library
This change adds libcmin.a, which is created from newlib libc by selectively removing some of the object files (mostly related to heap management).
The list of files is available in tools/sdk/lib/make_libcmin.sh. Files which are not needed are commented out.
This change adds support for various functions which were missing, like sscanf, strftime, etc.
* Fix some of the time functions
* Redirect stdout to serial
* Implement __putc_r
* Switch to custom newlib build

* Update tests
Get rid of the warning in Arduino 1.6.6 and keep it compatible with Arduino 1.6.5
Downside is that IDE can not cache archive file between compilations.
