      • Controlled by file operation
    • SPI

  • File System
    • Bad Sector Management

      • File System checks the bad sectors during write operation and maintains list of bad sectors inside of the physical flash.
    • Dynamic Header
      • A technique to reuse a used sector of smartfs throughout all write operation into that sector without relocation (smartfs reallocates sectors when a file is rewritten).
    • Sector Recovery
      • A tool to recover the sectors lost in case of power failure (smartfs only)
    • Journaling
      • Added Transaction-Logging based Journaling Feature
      • It takes several sectors based on number of file descriptors.
  • AraStorage
    • Query Interface

      • SQL like query interface exposed: Simple and Standard  relations
      • Wrapper for AQL command input to the relational query parser
      • Readable, interactive, expandable form constructs for specifying search constraints and AQL object attributes
    • Index Algorithm
      • Optimizes the execution of database queries by delimiting the set of tuples that must be processed.

        • Inline: Useful for Ordered Data sets
        • B+ based Index: Useful for MASS Data sets
    • Storage Abstraction
      • Use a basic POSIX APIs in VFS to support Database operations.
    • Cursor
      • Added a cursor structure to allow easier use of arastorage.
  • Network and Connectivity
    • LWIP

      • LWIP 1.4.1 release code is taken as the base network stack for TinyAra.
      • Support of IPv4, TCP, UDP, ICMP, ARP, IGMP , DHCPc & Generic sockets are provided.
      • Missing POSIX API support for all the network API's is enabled in TinyAra.
      • TinyAra OS compatibility and performance improvements done.
      • Fixed in the LWIP stack to give desired result on applications, such as DHCP, DNS, HTTP, IoTivity, TELNET, and WEBSOCKETS, is completed.
      • Samples for tcp/UDP for unicast/multicast testing and stress testing are provided.
      • LWIP stack is verified over performance tool iperf to measure the reliability and throughput of the stack.
      • Added Arp retransmission and updated arp timer.
      • Socket structures belong to task (not global variables). So when the task is terminated, the socket is also destroyed. Dup can be also applied for being shared among multiple threads.
    • IoTivity
      • IoTivity 1.1.0 release code is taken as base code for TinyAra.
      • It supports secured resources for device to device (through the UDP adapter).
      • Provisioning, ownership transfer, and access control features are enabled for the d2d scenario.
      • Registering to the IoTivity 1.1.0 cloud and getting the auth provider is supported.
      • Publishing the IoTivity resources over IoTivity 1.1.0 cloud is supported.
      • CoAP over TCP is supported for communication to IoTivity 1.1.0 cloud infrastructure.
      • Sample support for IoTivity_nosecurity, Security, Cloud, and IoTivity over UDp is provided.

Known Issues

  • Pthread Cancellation

    • When the pthread_cancel() function is called to terminate a pthread, resource used for the pthread is not freed.
  • FOTA Support
    • Device driver and HAL APIs are provided, but chip dependency codes must be updated. After updates, the APIs will be fixed.
  • Wi-Fi Support
    • Network stack is provided, but there is no Wi-Fi stack.  Wi-Fi stack is provided soon. After the Wi-Fi stack is added, the network functionality will work correctly.
