2014-05-10 - Nife 0.47 is released. |
|
|
|
* Beginning an I2C interface for Linux systems, inspired by the Linux |
|
|
|
package i2c-tools. |
|
|
|
* The I2C interface has been developped and tested by P. Foubet |
|
|
|
with his students of ESIGETEL Villejuif, Elodie Kerfourn and Aymeric |
|
|
|
Diankouika Ntinou. They connected a Raspberry Pi with an Arduino |
|
|
|
board through the I2C bus and wrote a Nife program to highlight the |
|
|
|
data exchange between the two elements. |
|
|
|
* The Nife official site is now : http://www.k-nife.org. |
|
|
|
* The installation has been tested by Bernard Bonno on a Raspberry Pi |
|
|
|
board Model A with Porteus ARM (based on a Slackware ARM 14.0). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This release is NOT binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.26 or any earlier |
|
|
|
release, so be prepared to recompile your software if you are still using |
|
|
|
an old version of uClibc. |
|
|
|
2013-09-25 - Nife 0.44 is released. |
|
|
|
* Fixed a bug causing a "segmentation violation" during compilation |
|
|
|
of the Nife code on some systems as Raspberry Pi A and B and others. |
|
|
|
This bug was reported by Bernard Bonno during tests on a Raspberry Pi |
|
|
|
Model A with 256 Mo of memory. |
|
|
|
* The installation has been tested by Bernard Bonno on a PC i484 |
|
|
|
with a Linux Porteus 2.0. |
|
|
|
