Changes from v1_10-beta1

New! Native Linux Support

We now natively support Linux. Download the Linux zip file, unzip to your home directory, run make inside ~/NanoComputer to build everything. After it's done do a source env.sh and you are ready to rock and roll!

Fixed NC_CMD hanging for 2 seconds when exiting using the unofficial v1_00 Linux tools.
Fixed BIOS_SetPropVal function which was broken in v1_10-beta1.

Changes from v1_00

v1_00 applications are not binary compatible with v1_10 firmware!

We hated to do this, but since there are very few v1_10 applications released in binary form, we felt it was worth the pain of breaking binary compatibility for the benefits it gave us. Specifically, the KEYPAD constants have changed.

New! I2C functions in the BIOS

Use the NanoComputer as an I2C Master to communicate with I2C slave devices such as our coming soon I2C GPIO Extender! Control digital IOs and sample ADCs!

See the I2C.h file for documentation on the new functions

New! RTC functions in the BIOS

The NanoComputer now has a real time clock.

Read the BIOS Property BIOS_PROP_RTC_TICKS with a long pointer to read back the number of ticks. Each tick is 0.5 seconds.

Write the BIOS Property BIOS_PROP_RTC_CLEAR with 0x00 to clear the RTC tick counter back to zero

Fast BIOS calls with lower RAM usage

All BIOS calls are approximetly 25% faster since we have removed the function wrappers around the BIOS calls used in v1_10.

The Function wrappers used to take up over 3kb of RAM in application space, so without them, that's 3kb more RAM for your applications!

NC_CMD now recognizes both / and \ as path separators
Reading a buffer larger then the file size using NCFS_ReadFile no longer causes unpredictable results
SDCC has been updated to the Nov 24 snapshot build
