v0.4.0-rc2

• Bug fixes
  • Fix detection of shared libraries that were compiled for the wrong platform (for NIFs). Thanks to @tungd for the report and investigation.
  • Fix recursive copy on OSX (call cp -R instead of cp -r). Thanks to @gmile for the PR.
  • Enable ADC drivers on the Beaglebone Black

v0.4.0-rc1

• New features
  • Major updates to the configuration process to support storing configs more
    easily outside of nerves-system-br
  • Support building out-of-tree
  • Added more checks for compiler mismatches when building releases
• Package updates
  • Buildroot 2016.02

v0.3.3

• Bug fixes
  • Re-enable CONFIG_LEDS_GPIO in Raspberry Pi kernel
• Package updates
  • Elixir 1.2.3

v0.3.2

• New features
  • Updated Linux kernel to 4.1 on Raspberry Pi platforms. The Raspberry Pi
    Zero now works. This is not thoroughly tested.
  • Enable WiFi on Raspberry Pi. Application support is needed, so this is
    only one step to getting WiFi working out of the box.
  • Update buildroot to 2016.02-rc1 to pull in current Raspberry Pi support.
  • Switch default DNS resolver to use Erlang's internal support
• Bug fixes
  • Remove exrm check from nerves-elixir.mk since it's also possible to
    use the nerves application to package the release
• Package updates
  • fwup v0.6.0
  • Many others from the Buildroot update

v0.3.1

• New features
  • Basic Intel Galileo support
  • erlang.mk support (thanks to mdsebald)
  • To burn a firmware image, you can just run make burn. make burn-complete is aliased to make burn.
  • Improved host/target Erlang version checking
• Bug fixes
  • nerves_xxx_defconfig config naming and docs have been cleaned up. With
    the recent changes many had become out of date.
  • Enforce 64-bit system for build since 32-bit systems can't run the Nerves
    toolchains
• Package updates
  • erlang 18.2.1
  • elixir 1.2.1
  • erlinit v0.7.0
  • nerves-toolchain v0.6.0
  • fwup v0.5.0

v0.3.0

This release updates many packages and Buildroot to later versions. Most platforms have been changed to use custom crosscompilers from nerves-toolchain, so that it is possible to compile much of a project locally on non-Linux systems (Macs are the first priority).

The project has also changed names from nerves-sdk to nerves-system-br. This reflects its use as a system image builder for Nerves. In Nerves terminology, a toolchain + a system + your Elixir, Erlang, or LFE app = a firmware image. Buildroot is the initial system image builder, but other system builders are possible in the future.

• New features
  • Use squashfs instead of ext4 for rootfs (smaller roots; enables firmware
    assembly on OSX since fakeroot isn't needed for handling special files)
  • Many bash-isms and Linux-isms removed from scripts to support zsh and
    BSD builds.
  • Use cross-compiler toolchains from nerves-toolchains
  • Upgrade Erlang to 18.1
  • Upgrade Elixir to 1.1.1
  • Upgrade fwup to 0.4.2 (backwards incompatible firmware upgrade change from
    Nerves v0.2.3)

v0.2.3

This release captures the state of the Nerves master branch before some major
changes to support integration with bake and building applications locally on
non-Linux platforms.

• Recent changes
  • Raspberry Pi configs default to HDMI rather than UART
  • Elixir version 1.0.5
