January, 2013 - nxtOSEK 2.18

July 07
, 2008 - NXT GamePad 1.04


Note: sg.exe is removed from nxtOSEK (March 01, 2010)

To keep the terms of Sourceforge.net, I have decided to remove sg.exe binary file (an OSEK OIL parser and code generator) from nxtOSEK. sg.exe which was included in nxtOSEK is same as sg.exe in TOPPERS/OSEK 1.1 at TOPPERS project where outside of Sourceforge.net. TOPPERS/OSEK 1.1 can be downloaded from : osek_os-1.1.lzh
osek_os-1.1.lzh is compressed as LZH format and it needs to use a lzh supported file extractor, for example, 7-zip which would work in Windows XP/Vista and Linux/Unix.

To use sg.exe in osek_os-1.1.lzh for nxtOSEK:
 - Extract osek-os-1.1.lzh
 - Copy extracted /toppers_osek/sg/sg.exe to nxtOSEK/toppers_osek/sg directory



Note that nxtOSEK ver2.18 supports OSEK COM features and it requires sg.exe in the latest TOPPERS ATK1 (January, 2013)

お 知らせ: nxtOSEKからのsg.exeの削除について(2010/03/01)

Sourceforge.net からの指摘を受け、nxtOSEKに従来含まれていたsg.exeバイナリファイル(OSEK OILパーサー/コード生成ツール)を削除することにしました。ただし、nxtOSEKに含まれていたsg.exeは、TOPPERS プロジェクトで公開されているTOPPERS/OSEK 1.1のものを使用しており、次のリンクからダウンロードすることができます: osek_os-1.1.lzh 

TOPPERS/OSEK 1.1のsg.exeをnxtOSEKで使用する手順は次の通りです:
 - ダウンロードしたosek-os-1.1.lzhを解凍する
 - 解凍した toppers_osek/sg/sg.exe を nxtOSEK/toppers_osek/sg ディレクトリにコピーする



お知らせ: nxtOSEK v2.18よりサポートしたOSEK COM機能を使用する場合は、TOPPERS ATK1に含まれているsg.exe を使用してください。 (2013/01)

Revision
Description
Authors
2.18 January, 2013

Special thanks to Eiji Sato who developed the API and the sample originally for ET ROBOCON 2012(http://www.etrobo.jp/2012/)
- Improved stability of NXT BIOS
Special thanks to Koji Shimizu
- Support OSEK COM (see samples_c\comtest or samples_c++\OsekCom)
Note that OSEK COM requires sg.exe in TOPPERS ATK1 (http://www.toppers.jp/atk1-download.html)

2.17
February, 2012
- Added ecrobot_exec_NXT_BIOS C/C++ API to be able to execute NXT BIOS from application automatically
(See samples_c\executeNXTBIOS, samples_c++\cpp\ExecNXTBIOS samples)
Note that the new C/C++ API works only when NXT BIOS is used. Otherwise it does nothing
Note that the new C/C++ API requires NXT BIOS 1.04 or later
- Updated NXT BIOS to 1.04
  - Uploaded application is executed after program upload without turn off/on the NXT
  - Improved robustness of program upload (I hope)
  - Program upload progress bar is replaced with simple "Uploading..." message to reduce IRQ load
for LCD updates
Note that the new C/C++ API and the update of NXT BIOS improve usability of NXT BIOS and user can design prefered application upload sequence

Special thanks to Dmitry Prokhorov
- Updated installation instructions for Linux (Ubuntu 11.10)
Special thanks to Lauro Ojeda
- Added samples_c\mathtest sample
- Modified LFLAG in tool_gcc.mak to link ANSI-C math library properly
Special thaks to Paul Besson to report the bug

- Added NO_RUN_ENTER_STOP_EXIT compile switch macro to enable to suppress initial splash screen and disable RUN/ENTER/STOP/EXIT operations assignment to the NXT buttons
(See samples_c\noRunEnterStopExit, samples_c\noRunEnterStopExitAndBluetooth and samples_c++\cpp\Nxt2 samples)
- Added ecrobot_restart_NXT and ecrobot_shutdown_NXT C API to be able to re-start/shutdown NXT

- Added the above new C API equivalent properties to ecrobot::Nxt C++ class
Note that the above new features allows users to design user orignal interface with the NXT LCD and buttons instead of nxtOSEK default initial display and RUN/ENTER/STOP/EXIT buttons assignment. It also reduces ROM size about 2 Kbytes.

3. Fixed bugs in ecrobot_get_device_address, ecrobot_get_device_name and related C++ API
4. [RECOMMENDED TO USE] Added new C/C++ API to send/read data without data frame restrictions. Note that the new C/C++ send/read API are faster and it allows user to fully design data frame structure (extra 2 bytes can be used in user application)
5. Added C/C++ API to get signal strength (RSSI)
6. Added Bluetooth C/C++ samples
