Other Functional Considerations

    VxWorks Simulator
        This release provides a new Windows WRTAP driver for the VxWorks simulator. 
        The driver is available for both 32- and 64-bit Windows hosts. On 64-bit Windows 7, 
        this driver replaces the previously recommended TAP-WIN32 driver.
        The driver can be installed either manually, as described in the Wind River VxWorks
        Simulator User's Guide, or at the command line as follows:
            On a 32-bit host
                cd installDir\vxWorks-6.9\host\x86-win32\bin
                wrtapInstaller.exe install
            On a 64-bit host
                cd installDir\vxWorks-6.9\host\x86-win32\x86_64\bin
                wrtapInstaller.exe install

    ARM Architecture
        The standard C math libraries for the ARMARCH7 and ARMARCH7_T2 architectures have 
        been optimized to improve math library performance. The changes improve the 
        math libraries by replacing some operations which were previously implemented 
        with software floating-point calculations with vector floating-point coprocessor 
        instructions. These changes fix the __ieee_status( ) API for the ARMARCH7 
        architecture so that the API properly returns the floating-point calculation 
        exception status when requested.

        The changes also modify the ARMARCH7_T2 architecture to use the same optimized 
        math library as the ARMARCH7 architecture. Previously, the ARMARCH7_T2 architecture 
        used a different standard C math library implementation (compiled with vector 
        floating-point support).

New Board Support Packages in This Release

    Freescale    P1022-DS
    Freescale    P2041-RDB
    Wind River   SBC P3041
    Wind River   SBC P5020

    STMicro      SPEAr13xx EVM

Deprecated APIs

    pwrPciOrphans()
    pwrPciOrphanSetD3()
        These routines are specific to Intel Nehalem processor-based boards when compiled 
        with _WRS_CONFIG_PWR_MGMT, and only on Emerson hardware. These APIs were never
        intended to be public, and are removed from the documentation and source code. 
        If these functions are used, there will be a link error during the build. There 
        are no replacements for these routines.
	

Documentation Changes

    ipike_pfkeyv2_add_flow()
    ipike_pfkeyv2_remove_flow()
    nfsdFsErrnoHookDelete()
    pwrPciOrphanInit()
    timerShowInit()
        These routines have been removed from the public API reference. 
        These routines are not intended to be called by any application, and calling any
        of them in an application may have side effects. To prevent customers from
        mistakenly calling these routines in their application, the manual pages for each
        of them have been removed. References to these routines should be removed from
        application code, but will not result in a build-time error if included. There
        are no replacements for these routines.
	

Other Functional Considerations

    isrShow()
        The output of the show routine isrShow() has changed. The summary output for both
        32-bit and 64-bit VxWorks, and hence the count information, has been put into the
        detailed (isrId != 0) information. See Defect WIND00324977 on OLS for details.
	

    pcPentium4 BSP Configuration
        Wind River has improved the pcPentium4 BSP so that the user can select the 
        interrupt mode for this board (related to Defect WIND00328879). A new selection 
        has been added for the BSP configuration. This addition requires that the user 
        select an appropriate interrupt mode. When migrating an existing VIP to VxWorks
        6.9.2.2, simply attempting to rebuild will cause a build error. To reconcile this 
        build error, you must select the appropriate interrupt mode. Selecting PIC_MODE
        enables interrupt operation equivalent to releases prior to VxWorks 6.9.2.2. See 
        Defect WIND00376992 on OLS for details.

        Due to the removal of the component DRV_TIMER_I8253 from pcPentium4/20bsp.cdf, the
        AUX_CLK now uses the mc146818. The component DRV_TIMER_I8253 was removed from the 
        VxWorks 6.9.2.2 pcPentium4/bsp.cdf to align component support with other Intel
        Architecture BSPs. To use the i8253 timer, please add component DRV_TIMER_I8253 to 
        your project configuration. See Defect WIND00375416 on OLS for details.
	

    Intel BSP AUX_CLK Configuration  
        AUX_CLK functionality may not work correctly on Intel platforms.
        See Defect WIND00273160 on OLS for details and a workaround.
