2007-08-28 (REL_1_4_0) Christian Walter : Notes: Added support for HCS08. Fixed some small bugs in the documentation for the porting layer. Detailed notes: - FEATURES (HCS08) : Added new port. - BUGS (ALL) : Fixed some small bugs in the porting guide. 2007-07-17 (REL_1_3_0) Christian Walter : Notes: Added ARM7/AT91SAM7X port. Added Linux/TCP port from Steven Guo. Detailed notes: - FEATURES (ARM7): Added ARM7/AT91SAM7x port. - FEATURES (LINUX): Added Linux/TCP port from Steven Guo. - BUGS (ALL): Fixed bug in where the high byte of the register count was ignored. This does not have a practical impact because the actual number of registers is always lower. 2007-07-17 (REL_1_3_0) Christian Walter : Notes: Added Linux/TCP port. Fixed bug in MSP430 port. Detailted notes: - FEATURE (LINUX): Added Linux/TCP port. - BUGS (MSP430): Fixed bug with calculating the timer value. 2007-04-25 (REL_1_2_0) Christian Walter : Notes: Added LPC214X ARM port with Keil compiler. Added Z8Encore port for Z8F6422 microcontroller. Detailed notes: - FEATURE (ARM): Added LPC214X ARM port for Keil ARM 2.41. - FEATURE (Z8ENCORE): Added Z8F6422 for Z8Encore using the ZDS II - Z8 Encore! development tools. 2007-02-18 (REL_1_1_2) Christian Walter : Notes: Fixed typo with the defined defining the supported Modbus functions. Fixed bug when illegal slave address was passed to eMBInit where the error was not detected. Fixed typo in the holding registers where the frame for write multiple registers was parsed with the wrong constants. The fix is not critical because the values matched. Fixed bug in discrete input registers implementation where the frame was not parsed correctly. Added new support for a CodeWarrior Coldfire port. Detailed notes: - BUG (ALL): Modbus functions are compiled into the stack conditionally by changing the MB_FUNC_XXX defines to either true(1) or false(0). The defines for MB_FUNC_READ_HOLDING and MB_FUNC_WRITE_HOLDING were wrong. - BUG (ALL): eMBInit did not correctly check for addresses. Therefore is was possible to start the Modbus stack with an address of 0 or one > 247. - BUG (ALL): eMBFuncWriteHoldingRegister should use MB_PDU_FUNC_WRITE_MUL_ADDR_OFF and not MB_PDU_FUNC_READ_ADDR_OFF. - BUG (ALL): eMBFuncReadDiscreteInputs calculated the number of discrete registers to read wrong. - FEATURE (ALL): Fixed some warnings in the code. 2006-11-19 (REL_1_1_1) Christian Walter : Notes: Fixed bug in Read/Write Multiple Registers function where the registers addresses where calculated wrong. Fixed bug in RTU and ASCII with the resource allocation in case of an error. Changed license to BSD style licsense. Detailed notes: - OTHER (ALL): License is now BSD for protocol stack. - BUG (ALL): The registers address received in a Modbus frame must be converted to application addresses. The code for this conversion was missing and therefore has lead to error when this function was used (Registers of by one, Start at > 1). - BUG (ALL): If the serial initialization within the porting fails a timer is still allocated in eMBRTUInit and eMBASCIIInit. This can lead to a memory leak depending upon the implementation of the porting layer. - FEATURE (MCF5235): Added sample shell scripts for testing. - FEATURE (MSP430): Added sample shell script for testing and changed default values to match the other ports. 2006-10-30 (REL_1_1_0) Christian Walter : Notes: Added support for Read/Write Multiple Registers function (0x17). Added some tips to reduce memory requirements. Added MSP430 Port for GCC and Rowley Crossworks. Detailed notes: - FEATURE (MSP430): Added new MSP430 port. - FEATURE (ALL): Added support for Read/Write Multiple Registers function (0x17). The implementation simply makes two callbacks to the eMBRegHoldingCB function where first the values are written and then the other register values are read. - FEATURE (ALL): Added some tips on reducing memory requirements with the protocol stack. 2006-10-30 (REL_1_0_5) Christian Walter : Notes: eMBDisable and eMBClose can now be called multiple times which makes shutdown of the protocol stack easier. Fixed bug in RTU state machine where we switched from the error state immediately to the idle state. Correct behaviour would be to wait till the end of frame. Added new STR71X GCC port which uses only freely available tools like GNU ARM, OpenOCD (Wiggler) and GDB. Detailed notes: - FEATURE (STR71X): Added GCC standalone port which does not depend on the Rowley Crosswork tools. - FEATURE (ALL): eMBDisable can now be called multiple times and returns MB_ENOERR in case is was already disabled. eMBClose also supports beeing called multiple times in which pvMBFrameCloseCur( ) is called when the protocol stack is in state STATE_DISABLED. - BUG (RTU): Fixed bug in xMBRTUReceiveFSM where the error state is immediately left because of a missing break. Instead we should wait till the damaged frame is finished. 2006-10-11 (REL_1_0_4) Christian Walter : Notes: Fixed bug when more than 255 coils are requested. Fixed bug in Linux/Cygwin port when not all bytes could be written by the first call to write. Added support for removing previously registered function handlers. Detailed notes: - BUG (ALL): mbfunccoils contained a bug which limited the amount of coils to read to 255. - BUG (LINUX): prvbMBPortSerialWrite contained a bug in the loop which writes the RTU/ASCII frame to the serial file descriptor. If not all bytes where written in the first call or write was interrupted the sent frame is corrupted. - FEATURE (ALL): eMBRegisterCB now supports NULL as handler argument in which case a previously registered function handler is deregistered from the protocol stack. 2006-09-27 (REL_1_0_3) Christian Walter : Notes: Added new functions to support registering of custom callback handlers. This makes it possible to implement new Modbus function codes without touching the protocol stack. New port for ATMega128 added. Thanks to Richard C Sandoz Jr. for the patches. Detailed notes: - FEATURE (ALL): Added support for registering new functions handlers with eMBRegisterCB. - FEATURE (AVR): Added patches from Richard C Sandoz Jr. for ATMega128 2006-09-06 (REL_1_0_2) Christian Walter : Notes: Fixed bug in FreeRTOS porting layer for STR71X/lwIP target where memory is not freed in the sys_arch_thread_remove function. Synched MCF5235TCP port with the FreeRTOS/lwIP port for the STR71X. Detailed notes: - BUG (STR71XTCP): Sys_arch_thread_remove did not free the memory from the TCB. - BUG (STR71XTCP): Unnecessary call to vTaskSuspendAll removed. - BUG (STR71XTCP): Bug with counting variable. The first to lwIP tasks got the same name (lwIP0). - FEATURE (MCF5235TCP): Enhanced functions from the STR71X/lwIP port merged into the Coldfire port. 2006-09-04 (REL_1_0_1) Christian Walter : Notes: Fixed bug in serial driver for STR71x target when the ring buffer overflows. Detailed notes: - BUG (STR71XTCP): Under high load the ring buffer in the serial driver functions might overflow. There was an error with counting the number of received characters which corrupted received frames. Now receiver correctly recovers in case of dropped bytes. 2006-09-04 (REL_1_0) Christian Walter : Notes: Added support for ATmega8, ATmega16, ATmega32, ATmega169 and RS485 drivers in the AVR support. Special thanks to Tran Minh Hoang for his contribution. Added a new lwIP port for the STR71X target which uses one serial interface for a PPP connection. This can be used for remote Modbus/TCP devices in combination with a Modem (E.g. GPRS or Analog). Detailed notes: - FEATURES (AVR): Integrated patches from Tran Minh Hoang to support the ATmega8, ATmega16, ATmega32, ATmega169 controllers. - FEATURES (AVR): Added support for RS485 drivers in the AVR code. The example supports the DS76176. - FEATURES (STR71XTCP): implemented function in STR71X/lwIP porting layer to remove running tasks. - FEATURES (STR71XTCP): added new thread creation function in STR71X/lwIP porting layer which allows specifing the stack size. - BUGS (STR71XTCP): pppOpen defined in ppp.c does not check the return value of sys_thread_new. If task creation fails the system crashes. - BUGS (STR71XTCP): pppMain must not return - Instead it should remove its task from the scheduler. 2006-08-30 (REL_9) Christian Walter : Notes: Added lwIP port for the MCF5235 target. The lwIP part is generic and therefore FreeModbus now works on any target with lwIP support. Detailed notes: - FEATURES: Incoperated MCF5235 FreeRTOS/lwIP port done by the author in this project. - FEATURES: Added lwIP port for FreeModbus - FEATURES: Added demo application for FreeModbus and lwIP. 2006-08-22 (REL_0_82) Christian Walter Notes: Fixed bug with Modbus ASCII support Detailed notes: - BUG: During the last upgrade an error was introduced in the initialization code of Modbus ASCII and therefore ASCII support was broken. The bug is fixed now and was tested with the Win32 port. 2006-08-22 (REL_0_81) Christian Walter Notes: Added porting guide Detailed notes: - OTHER: Added a new porting guide to the documentation. - OTHER: Added a empty example for new ports to the project as a starting point. 2006-08-01 (REL_0_8) Christian Walter Notes: Added Linux RTU/ASCII port. Detailed notes: - FEATURES: Added a new Linux RTU/ASCII port. The port should work on any Linux distribution and it should be possible to run it on uCLinux. 2006-06-26 (REL_0_7) Christian Walter Notes: Changed the WIN32 serial port to better fit into the design. Detailed notes: - OTHER: Design of the WIN32 serial port changed. The polling function for the serial device are now called from the event loop. - OTHER: Debugging uses the same interface as the WIN32/TCP port. 2006-06-25 Christian Walter Notes: Initial work on a Modbus/TCP port is available. The port includes an example for a Win32 port which uses the Winsock API. Detailed notes: - FEATURES: added required functions to core protocol stack to support a Modbus/TCP implementation. - FEATURES: added a Win32 port for the Modbus/TCP core. The port is currently limited to one concurrent client. - OTHER: The implementation of eMBClose to shutdown the protocol stack was changed to unify it with the new Modbus/TCP code. - 2006-06-18 Christian Walter Detailed notes: - OTHER: while working on the Win32 port some line feeds got wrong. Also some source files used tabs instead of spaces. - OTHER: prototypes for xMBUtilSetBits and xMBUtilGetBits fixed. usNBits should be ucNBits by convention. 2006-06-17 Christian Walter Notes: Fixed various bugs with the Win32 port Detailed notes: - FEATURES: implement shutdown functionality for protocol stack. - FEATURES: protocol stack can be enabled and disabled during runtime. - FEATURES: interface functions now do more error checking. For example if eMBPool is called in an uninitialized state. - FEATURES: extended Win32 demo application to use the new features. - BUG: fixed bug in Win32 demo for ASCII mode. 2006-06-16 Christian Walter Notes: The new version includes a new port for the Win32 platform Detailed notes: - FEATURES: added Win32 platform 2006-05-14 Christian Walter Notes: The new version includes a new port for the Freescale MCF5235 processor. Detailed notes: - FEATURES: added new MCF5235 port. - OTHER: fixed some missing code headers. 2006-05-01 Christian Walter Notes: This version removes the t1.5 timers from the Modbus RTU implementation because no one actually uses it and the CPU load is very high. T In addition some documentation cleanups has been done and the ARM demo has been updated. Detailed notes: - FEATURES: the t1.5 timeout has been removed. Therefore only one timer is required. - BUG: the ARM demo project missed some files in the project workspace and did not compile cleanly 2006-02-28 Christian Walter Notes: This version includes support for two new command (write multiple coils, read discrete input) Detailed notes: - BUG: some function used the wrong data types - FEATURES: added support for write multiple coils function. - FEATURES: added support for read discrete input. - OTHER: some code cleanups with lint tool. 2006-02-28 Christian Walter Notes: The new version 0.31 adds support for reading and writing the coil registers and add some bug fixes. Detailed notes: - BUG: fixed bug with to small modbus requests being ignored. - FEATURES: added support for write single coil function. - FEATURES: added support for working with byte packed bit fields to support coils and discrete inputs better. - API: API for set slave id functions changed. 2006-02-26 Christian Walter Notes: First public release which includes an ARM and AVR port.
