New firmware release for Mizar32 based on eLua 0.9

[Martin Guy]

Hi all
I've just published a new release of the Mizar32 firmware, based on
the eLua 0.9 release.

Download link: http://mizar32.googlecode.com/files/mizar32-firmware-20130516.tgz

Compared to the previous release, 20120123:
- It is based on eLua 0.9, with many new features
See http://www.eluaproject.net/news/elua-09-released
- It has a new mizar32.rtc.*() module to read/write the real-time
clock on the ethernet board
See http://www.eluaproject.net/doc/v0.9/en_refman_ps_mizar32_rtc.html
- In the Mizar32 A and B models, the console is on the USB serial port
so you can talk to them and use Go@ IDE without needing a serial UART
add-on board and a PC with an RS232 port
- With Mizar32 A/B and the ethernet module, DHCP and DNS lookup now work :)
- The Mizar32 C firmware now includes the Emergency Garbage Collector
- The "program-*.sh" scripts, to program the firmware, now work better
with the Mizar32 model A

For help programming the new firmware, see the README.txt in the
firmware bundle and

Please report problems to the Mizar32 mailing list

Just a question... The  USB serial port connetion is stable now?

I'm going to test tonight.

Cheers

Works find for me with Ubuntu/Linux/minicom. I can't test it with
Windows (thank God!)

Let us know how you get on, and with what operating system you are using it.

Works fine as well! I use Linux too :) I have a Mac OS/X too and I will test later, but I think it will work flawless.

I really liked to have the RTC module to use, now I can sync the time only once and get it at anytime in runtime without need to ask to a server. I missed something like this before, thanks!

Yesterday I have tested net.lookup and looks good! Unfortunately uIP still fails at some points in my code, but I'm working in a workaround to avoid opening too many sockets.

I will restart the thread about the TCP stack in eLua, I think that's the kind of thing I want to help, either to improve eLua and to learn more about eLua internals.

Cheers

With Linux the USB serial port console it takes 8 seconds to
initialise and working :-/
I'd be interested to know how it fares with Mac, as it has a BSD-based
kernel, so presumably has a different USB stack.

I do not know if it takes the same time for me. I will test and report. I will report too how it works with Mac OS/X.
