Upgrade and Compatibility Information

NDK 3.61 is compatible with 3.60.

If updating from a previous version of NDK, see the changelog for potential upgrade and compatibility information.

A few notable feature deprecation alerts:

• The NDK’s HTTP/1.0 Server will be removed in a future release, likely in late 2019. The Network Services Component is now providing a much more fully featured HTTP/1.1 Server, which is recommended for new development. Related scripts/tools (e.g. ti/ndk/tools/binsrc) are also deprecated and are planned for removal.
• The host executables provided in ti/ndk/winapps are also deprecated. These scripts do not provide significant value, and are also planned for removal in a future release, likely in late 2019.

Host Support

  • The following Jira has been filed to track this issue:
    • NDK-405: Update F2838X NIMU driver to support stack reboot/shutdown
• A crash was witnessed during system test which appears to be a memory corruption issue. It’s unclear whether this is an issue in the NDK/driver or test case.
  • The cause of this issue is still under investigation.

    • NDK-406: Crash due to possible memory corruption seen on F2838X

Versioning

All releases have 4 segment versions (M.mm.pp.bb). This includes GA and pre-releases (engineering, alpha/EA, beta, etc.). Pre-releases are denoted with a suffix (e.g. 3.40.00.00_eng).

This product’s version follows a version format, M.mm.pp.bb, where M is a single digit Major number, mm is 2 digit minor number, pp is a 2 digit patch number, and bb is an unrestricted set of digits used as an incrementing build counter.

Subsequent releases of patch upgrades will be identified by the patch number. Typically, these patches only include critical bug fixes.
