This is the 02 October 2018 newsletter tracking the latest Zephyr
development merged into the mainline tree on GitHub.
HTML is available here:
Compared to previous newsletters, we're changing the format to
hopefully be more consumable (and keep the author from going crazy) by
decreasing the Highlights section to a few chosen interesting or
significant changes. We're also giving up and letting pandoc handle
all aspects of the plain-text conversion.
We're still keeping the Individual Changes section with each
merged commit, separated into affected areas.
We may tweak this further as we go forward; if you have any feedback,
please let us know!

Shell Subsystem Reimplementation
Zephyr's shell subsystem has been completely reimplemented. Official
docs for the new version claim the following features:
- Multiple backends (though it's not clear what the future holds for
interaction with the nascent TTY layer)
- Integration with the new Logger subsystem
- Tab completion
- Built-in shell support for clear, shell, colors, echo, history and
resize.
- Command history with arrow key (↑ and ↓) support, as well as editing
with arrow key (← and →), Backspace, Delete, End, Home, and Insert
key support
- Support for ANSI escape codes, multi-line commands, wildcards (* and
?), and meta keys
- Built-in command help handling
The new features come at a price: during a Technical Steering Committee
presentation on the subject, a minimum of 8KB ROM footprint was given.
Total footprint and memory usage can, of course, be tuned via Kconfig.
As of now, the Bluetooth shell has been ported to the new shell
subsystem.
Wading in the Waters of MISRA-C Compliance
The Motor Industry Software Reliability Organization (MISRA) defines a
variety of software standards used in the automotive industry. Among
them are the MISRA C guidelines for use of the C programming language.
These have gone through three versions, released in 1998, 2004, and
2012; they are proprietary specifications which can be purchased for
£15. Zephyr is targeting the most recent (2012) version of the MISRA C
standard.
Zephyr has been targeting MISRA-C compliance for some time now, and the
first development along these lines is now taking place. A mailing list
thread was started introducing the subject and incoming changes to
Zephyr, and some commits have been merged which address violations of
the standard. So far, these have been fairly wide-ranging changes both
in the kernel and across the tree, some scripted using Coccinelle.
Initial changes seem focused on somewhat mechanical transformation to
address requirements like not ignoring return values or respecting
reserved portions of the namespace, which have not been, let's say,
universally loved. However, nobody seems to disagree with the idea that
Zephyr being certifiable in an automotive context is desirable for the
project, even if it implies somewhat baroque and artificial restrictions
on the codebase.
Portability and C++
In a slightly orthogonal but somewhat similar set of changes, various
patches are going in to make Zephyr usable with C++ applications and
non-GNU toolchains. Some examples include avoiding non-standard void
pointer arithmetic, C99 rules around semicolons in structures, and
making Zephyr's device driver API headers compile in C++.
Out-of-tree SoC Support
Zephyr already has support for integrating with board definitions that
aren't part of the Zephyr tree; it now also includes support for out of
tree SoCs. The official documentation describes how to integrate such a
definition into the Zephyr tree. Internally, this resulted in a
top-level soc directory (i.e. parallel to arch), and the movement of
existing SoC support there from its previous home in arch.
The remaining code in arch now focuses more narrowly on CPU cores
themselves, rather than the SoCs which integrate them with peripherals,
other cores, etc. In addition to easing out of tree and proprietary
usage of Zephyr, this is arguably a cleaner construction, especially
given that some modern "microcontroller" SoCs are complex, multi-core
creatures, with cores from different processor subfamilies (or even
architectures).
KCONFIG_ROOT by Convention
Zephyr has long supported applications defining their own Kconfig
options, provided that:
1. The application's Kconfig file includes Zephyr's somewhere in its
definition.
2. The application CMakeLists.txt (or the CMake command line) sets the
KCONFIG_ROOT variable to point at the application's Kconfig file.
The second requirement has now been partially lifted. If the
application's directory contains a file named Kconfig, this is used by
default as the KCONFIG_ROOT. Applications are still free to set
KCONFIG_ROOT to any value they desire.
These details are now described in the application development primer.
Arm MPU Reorganization
Previously, Zephyr's Memory Protection Unit (MPU) support for Arm cores
was split into multiple Kconfig options depending on the target SoC.
(Perhaps) needless to say, the story got a bit complicated over time.
For example, users of SoCs with the MPU core provided by Arm Limited
could set CONFIG_ARM_CORE_MPU=y, while those with NXP MPUs would use
options like CONFIG_NXP_MPU or CONFIG_ARM_MPU_IMX_RT. Nordic nRF52
aficionados would naturally prefer CONFIG_ARM_MPU_NRF52X, and of course
lovers of the STM32 line could set CONFIG_STM32_ARM_MPU_ENABLE.
This has been simplified and consolidated under a single CONFIG_ARM_MPU
option. If this is set to y, chip-specific build system logic will
select and enable the relevant MPU support code for the target SoC. This
is in keeping with similar behavioral changes made to Zephyr's device
driver support.
More Progress on Power Management
A previous newsletter from the v1.13 RC period celebrated the addition
of an "OS-managed" power management framework, which enabled the kernel
to handle some aspects of conserving energy depending on system state it
was already tracking. This celebration was muted by limitations to nRF
devices and hard-coded data structures limiting support to certain
peripherals, but looked forward to further improvements.
These improvements are incoming, with the addition of generic arch
infrastructure for power state support, which is now used by Arm nRF52,
ARC quark_se_c1000_ss, and x86 quark_se SoCs.
The power management core itself now advertises pluggable policies, with
an initial example based on CPU residency.
We look forward to further improvements and documentation in this area.
Logger API Changes and Improvements
In a Logger blog series, we deep-dived into the initial version of the
Logger API merged into Zephyr. This subsystem has since seen some
changes and improvements, both to its core implementation and usage
within the tree.
Here's a quick recap:
- The LOG_MODULE_REGISTER() and LOG_MODULE_DECLARE() macros now take
the name of the module being registered (or declared), so the old
way:
LOG_MODULE_REGISTER();
Must now be:
LOG_MODULE_REGISTER(your_module_name_goes_here);
If you want to continue defining LOG_MODULE_NAME as before, you can
simply pass that as a parameter to the relevant macro.
- A template file, subsys/logging/Kconfig.template.log_config, was
added, which provides a standard way to define log level
configuration Kconfig options for a module. This uses the new macro
substitution feature that is part of recent Kconfig implementations.
- The UART-backend specific color and timestamp options were made
generic and renamed CONFIG_LOG_BACKEND_SHOW_COLOR and
CONFIG_LOG_BACKEND_FORMAT_TIMESTAMP.
- A new logger backend was added for the POSIX pseudo-architecture; it
is configurable using CONFIG_LOG_BACKEND_NATIVE_POSIX.
- Logging control commands were added to Zephyr's new shell subsystem;
they can be enabled with CONFIG_LOG_CMDS.
- Flags were added to control whether the log level and timestamp are
printed.
(Experimental) Socket Offload API
As we've discussed at some length in previous newsletters, Zephyr's
networking stack is in the process of being rearchitected so that all
network access, including use of TLS and DTLS, is via its sockets API.
One of the main reasons this is happening is to enable offloading of
network support to external chips. The idea behind this is that if the
user relies only on standard socket APIs (plus some nonstandard
setsockopt() calls to handle the TLS state machine), then the networking
implementation can be a software stack on the same chip or a driver for
an external chip with a "sockets-ish" wire protocol, with nobody above
the sockets API being the wiser.
One important missing piece needed to make this vision a reality is a
socket-based API for writing such "offload" drivers. Experimental work
was merged rectifying this with the addition of a new
CONFIG_NET_SOCKETS_OFFLOAD option. When this is enabled, a new API in
will be substituted for the usual software implementation, providing its
own socket API declarations which call into a struct socket_offload
vtable. The TI SimpleLink WiFi driver is the first in-tree user of this
option and API.
Support at present seems limited to installing a single socket_offload
structure at a time, so mixing use of multiple network interfaces with
this feature doesn't seem possible at the moment.
