New Features

• Support for new topologies:

  • Added support for 30 nodes x16 cascadable topology. Bugzilla #5613

  • Added support for 60 nodes x8 cascadable topology. Bugzilla #5613

• Support for new adapters:

  • Added support for XMC board PXH820 and PXH822. Bugzilla #5649

• MX: Verified driver stack on NXP BlueBox (ARM64) against an Automotive Linux Yocto BSP. Both on target and cross-compilation build. Bugzilla #5641

• MX: Enabled loopback interrupts. Bugzilla #5645

• Added a check for a valid license key for PVH801 and PVH802. The link wil be disabled until a valid license key is applied. Bugzilla #5680

• MX: Verified support for MXH830 for NXP’s BlueBox and their Automotive Yocto BSP. Bugzilla #5641

• Swapped the port numbering on PXH830 for 2x8 configuration. Requires an EEPROM upgrade to version 10 (upgrade_eeprom –upgrade). Bugzilla #5671

• Added support for using a 2-node (DIRECT) configuration with multi-link adapters (MULTI_DIRECT topology detected). Bugzilla #5676

Bugfixes

• MX: Fixed problem with peer not being detected anymore after a link reset. Bugzilla #5670

• PX: Fixed high CPU usage with DMA transfers when polling is off. Bugzilla #5604

• PX: Fix issue with infinite loop on installing the transparent driver on Windows. Bugzilla #5683

• PX: Fixed problem with crash when starting a DMA transfer in setups with both transparent and non-transparent adapters. Bugzilla #5639

• PX: Fixed problem with sporadic “channel aborted” warning from DMA driver. Bugzilla #5665

• PX: Fixed problem with driver cable port identification not matching the physical ports. Bugzilla #5671

• VxWorks: Fixed image linking problem for 32 bit builds. Bugzilla #5652

• Windows: fix sporadic crash when unloading the GX driver. The IRM driver is staged to release resources with EvtDeviceD0. Bugzilla #5667

SISCI

• Updates to SmartIO SISCI API:

  • Added SCICreateDeviceSegment() function. Bugzilla #5191

  • Renamed SCIConnectDeviceMemory() to SCIConnectDeviceSegment(). Bugzilla #5191

  • Changed parameters to SCIConnectDeviceSegment(). Bugzilla #5191

  • Added offset and size parameters to SCIMapLocalSegmentForDevice() and SCIMapRemoteSegmentForDevice(). Bugzilla #5191

  • Added support for reusing descriptors. Bugzilla #1063

  • Added support for retrieving a list of devices matching a specified filter. Bugzilla #5361

  • Cleaned up IRM/SmartIO interaction by adding smartioif.h Bugzilla #5658

  • Added support for private device memory segments. Bugzilla #5325

• Added support for automatically selecting local segment id. Bugzilla #5657

• Added convenience functions:

  • SCIGetLocalSegmentId() retrieves the identifier of a local segment

  • SCIGetRemoteSegmentId() retrieves the identifier of a connected remote segment.

  • SCIGetRemoteSegmentNodeId() gets the node identifier where a connected remote segment is hosted.

  • SCIGetFabricDeviceId() gets the fabric device identifier of a SmartIO device.

• Added and changed some of the SISCI error return codes for improved error reporting. Bugzilla #5682

• Added support for multiple SISCI resources of the same type per descriptor. Buzilla #1063

SmartIO

• NT-TRANSP - Support for partial rescans / hotplug.
