Bridle 4.2.0 Release Notes (Working draft)

This project demonstrate the integration of TiaC Systems support in open source projects, like the Zephyr RTOS, with libraries and source code for applications. It is not yet intended or supported by TiaC Systems for product development.

Highlights

  • NOT YET, tbd.

  • new board support for:

    • Mini USB RP2040 with board revisions for different sizes of QSPI flash memory and a workaround, as far as possible, for rarely existing boards with incorrectly assembled chip LED.

    • Mini USB RP2350 with board revisions for different sizes of QSPI flash memory

Note

See the changelog and readme files in the component repositories for a detailed description of changes.

Change log

NOT YET, tbd.

  • tbd.

  • tbd.

  • tbd.

  • The hello_shell sample now enables the full Ethernet network stack with MDIO support and all helpful shell commands for the TiaC Magpie F777NI board.

  • The TiaC Magpie F777NI board now provides the required device tree properties phy-connection-type and phy-handle. The related but deprecated Kconfig options ETH_STM32_HAL_MII and ETH_STM32_HAL_PHY_ADDRESS were removed.

The following sections provide detailed lists of changes by component.

NOT YET, tbd.

Build Infrastructure

NOT YET, tbd.

  • tbd.

  • tbd.

  • tbd.

  • Remove native_posix as it has reached its end of life in Zephyr v4.2, after being deprecated since Zephyr v4.0.

Documentation

NOT YET, tbd.

  1. tbd.

  2. tbd.

  3. tbd.

  4. Use Sphinx 8.2 and Zephyr’s DoxyRunner with DoxyBridge, DoxyToolTip and APIOverview for documentation processing.

  5. The Sphinx extension APIOverview was copied into Bridle namespace and all hard coded strings (e.g. “Available in … Since”) were adopted to Bridle.

  6. The Sphinx extension ManifestProjectTable (former ManifestRevisionTable) was copied into Bridle namespace and the old functionality from the sdk-nrf repository by Nordic (show-first option) was merged with the new functionality from Zephyr upstream (filter option).

  7. Switch getting started guide for Windows to Winget. Winget has become the standard Windows package manager, and it already contains all the packages required for Zephyr and Bridle development. Switch to it from Chocolatey for simplicity and consistency with the OS.

  8. Update all output messages in documentation to be in sync with the upcoming Bridle version v4.2.0, based on Zephyr v4.2 (samples and tests).
