Device Management Client 4.7.0 General Availability

Device Management Client example

• Updated to Mbed OS 6.5.0.
• Updated Mbed TLS to 2.22.0 in pal-platform.
• Nucleo F411RE and Nucleo F303RE targets now use the Mbed TLS non-volatile seed mechanism instead of mbedtls_psa_inject_entropy. This reduces the ROM size of these targets by 4KiB.
  • All targets use standard C libraries instead of the small C libraries. This prevents potential issues with certain drivers that may have dependencies on c_lib implementation. Future releases will further optimize the configurations.
  • minimal-printf is enabled by default in Mbed OS 6. This means that floating-point support is disabled by default. For information about changing these configurations, see minimal-printf in the Mbed OS documentation.
• Explicitly defined the minimum programming size (qspif.QSPI_MIN_PROG_SIZE) for DISCO_L475VG_IOT01A to be 1. In Mbed OS, the default QSPIF value was changed to 256, which breaks backward compatibility with existing bootloaders (see ARMmbed/mbed-os#13795).
• Fixed bugs that caused firmware updates on DISCO_L475VG_IOT01A to fail after the factory provisioning flow.
• Removed support for targets that Mbed OS 6 no longer supports:
  • LPC55S69.
  • Ublox EVK Odin W2.
  • Nucleo F411RE as a Platform Security Architecture (PSA) target.
  • Nucleo F303RE. Nucleo F411RE is the reference for non-TRNG usage with Device Management Client.
• Improved Wi-SUN mesh support.
  • Added support for multicast full-image and delta firmware updates.
  • Removed implementation for STARTUP delays put in place earlier for mesh. The client now handles this logic internally.
  • Added support for the Pelion Network Management feature for mesh to provide mesh statistics.
  • Added mesh support for the MIMXRT1050_EVK target.
  • All Wi-SUN targets are collected in the mesh_wisun.json configuration file in the root folder.
    • The supported targets are NUCLEO_F429ZI_WISUN, NUCLEO_F429ZI_WISUN_SMALL, MIMXRT1050_EVK_WISUN and MIMXRT1050_EVK_WISUN_SMALL.
    • Optimized SMALL variants for mesh networks that consist of fewer than 10 devices.
• Cleaned up memory-printing features.
  • Changed the name of the MBED_HEAP_STATS_ENABLED memory test feature flag to MEMORY_TESTS_HEAP to avoid conflict with other components that use HEAP features.
  • Enabling HEAP printing for Mbed OS requires defining both -DMBED_HEAP_STATS_ENABLED and -DMEMORY_TESTS_HEAP.
  • Removed stack-printing functionality.
• Cleaned up obsolete files.
  • Removed obsolete compiler profiles in the profiles folder.
  • Removed obsolete Mbed OS configurations for ESFS/SOTP.
• Automatic application reboot when frequent network issues occur is now disabled by default for mesh and Linux targets. This feature is controlled using the MAX_ERROR_COUNT application macro.
  • This application logic is an example of how an application can try to recover from potentially unrecoverable stack issues. Usage of such features must be considered as part of the product design.

Device Management Client 4.2.1 General Availability

No changes.

Release notes can be found from:

https://cloud.mbed.com/docs/current/release-notes/device-management-client.html

Device Management Client 4.2.0 General Availability

• Added support for Nucleo F303RE + ESP8266 + SPI-flash. Firmware update is not yet supported on this target due to data corruption issues during firmware download.
• Added a timer that automatically increments the value of the button press resource. This allows you to test the example application on devices with no hardware buttons.
• On Mbed OS 5.15, added support for all Wi-SUN channel configuration settings for testing purposes to the Mbed OS
  mesh configuration interface. You can use the settings for test configurations, for example for fixed channel mode. Do not use them in normal Wi-SUN operation. Removed unnecessary Wi-SUN channel configuration settings from the Wi-SUN configuration file.
• Updated to Mbed OS 5.15.0.
• Extended the mesh network configuration with a new macro STARTUP_MIN_RANDOM_DELAY to supplement the existing STARTUP_MAX_RANDOM_DELAY. The new macro defaults to STARTUP_MAX_RANDOM_DELAY/4 (the value of STARTUP_MAX_RANDOM_DELAY divided by four). You can use these configurations to provide mesh networks more time to properly stabilize before the client application starts its registration flow. For Mbed OS, you can use the configuration options client_app.startup_min_random_delay and client_app.startup_max_random_delay to define STARTUP_MIN_RANDOM_DELAY and STARTUP_MAX_RANDOM_DELAY in the application configuration. See configs/mesh_wisun.json for an example.
