ndk 0.07 released

Post by carbonBased »

For those that are interested, ndk 0.07 has been released and is available, as always, at http://www.neuraldk.org/.

There are several new features in this release (it's actually far beyond the previous release):
1. functional thread synchronization routines (mutex, semaphore)
2. thread communication via message queues
3. a structured driver architecture (and unfinished sample serial driver)
4. much better structured source layout (an obvious separation has been made between platform dependant and platform independant source code)
5. memory management (via dlmalloc)
6. several new support utils (linked lists, binary trees, queues, hash tables, etc)
7. a basic libc implementation for the kernel
8. a basic test framework
9. a much more maintainable and useable ant based build system
10. a complete rewrite of the rdoff2 object loader to be more portable (objects are now a common interface. New object formats should be easily added)
11. tons of other new stuff I can't remember, check it out!

There are still hundreds of things left on my plate (this whole system still runs in ring 0! Eeck! But with a driver architecture in place, it wont be long until apps can be written to the ndk framework).
