22487 Rev B 2/3
NOTIFICATION TEXT:
The following corrections and changes are included in Verix V SDK 3.7.4:

1. Added a new API, get_file_hash_SHA1, which computes the SHA1 digest (20 bytes)
based on the file contents.

int get_file_hash_SHA1 (const char *file, int *result5)

Parameters

file: Name of an existing file, including drive and GID if needed.

result5: Address of an int array of size 5 or greater.

Return Values:

Success: 0

Failure: -1 with Errno = ENOENT: File cannot be accessed.

2. RVD Debug Support.

Added a static global system library, vrxDebug.a, for applications to link with when using RVD
to debug. This will eliminate the problem of not being able stop or control RVD when stepping
through a system function such as "memcpy.

2.1. Use the new switch "-debug" together with the "-g" option to link with vrxDebug.a and
then use RVD to debug the application. For example:

vrxcc -g -debug -b myapp.c

2.2. This is for debugging only. The debug option must not be used for production code.

2.3. Note that vrxdebug.a can only be used with .out applications. It cannot be used when
building a .vsa application.

3. Dependent Shared Library Support

Added the ability to include an entry of a second-level, or dependent, shared library to the
application header so that the OS will load the dependent shared library when launching the
application. For example:

Application myapp links with a shared library lib1.

lib1 links with another shared library lib2 (lib2 is the second-level shared library, not
linked with myapp directly).

Add "dep=lib2" (where "dep" or "dependent" is a key word) to the lib1.lid file so
that vrxlib and vrxhdr will add an entry of lib2 to myapp's header:

LIB1 id=1 ver=0.5 dependent=LIB2 thumb
