NoTA rel3 r2009.15 (2008.04.06)
===============================
What's new:
- Introduced a new L_IN down, ld_single, for single process environments.
See l_in/README for more information.
- Introduced a new generic L_IN down test framework, ld_tester, to test
target L_IN down. See l_in/README for more information.
- Enabled multiple L_INup & H_IN core loading within a single process.
This is done to enable testing ld_single with full H_IN stack (using
for instance simple_tester_an_sn_sp located in h_in/test/-folder).
See Notes for more info.
- Added flow control for ld_fifo.
- Performance and functionality of the ld_usb and ld_bt increased.
- Introduced better error handling in H_IN, i.e. removed direct
assert calls in core.
- Man-pages updated.
Fixes:
- #7591: ldm_read_cl assertion (remote_ldsocket==0) failed
- #7690: SET16 macro won't alow l_in to compile on BIG_ENDIAN_MACHINE
- #6470: h_in: overly complex functions (cyclomatic complexity >= 20)
- Fixed some erroneous return values in H_IN API.
Known issues:
- There are some connectivity issues with certain network configurations
in non-static ld_tcp. This may be due to a multicast or broadcast
handling or other related issues. Disabling DHCP and setting up
multicast route for eth0 are known to help in such cases
(setting up multicast route:
'route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev eth0').
- Running ld_tester with L_IN down single may sometimes encounter
data corruption.
Limitations:
Notes:
- Multiple reference L_INups can be loaded by running l_in configure
with "--enable-multi-reference-l_in_up=yes".
- Multiple reference H_IN cores can be loaded by running h_in configure
with "--enable-multi-reference-h_in_core=yes".
