< b > Directory Structure< / b > .
The general directly layout for NuttX is very similar to the directory structure
of the Linux kernel -- at least at the most superficial layers.
At the top level is the main makefile and a series of sub-directories identified
below and discussed in the following paragraphs:

< b > Configuration Files< / b > .
The NuttX configuration consists of:
< / p >
< ul >
< li >
< i > Processor architecture specific files< / i > .
These are the files contained in the < code > arch/< / code > < i > < arch-name> < / i > < code > /< / code > directory
and are discussed in a paragraph < a href = "#archdirectorystructure" > below< / a > .
< / li >
< li >
< i > Chip/SoC specific files< / i > .
Each processor processor architecture is embedded in chip or < i > System-on-a-Chip< / i > (SoC) architecture.
The full chip architecture includes the processor architecture plus chip-specific interrupt logic,
clocking logic, general purpose I/O (GIO) logic, and specialized, internal peripherals (such as UARTs, USB, etc.).
< p >
These chip-specific files are contained within chip-specific sub-directories in the
< code > arch/< / code > < i > < arch-name> < / i > < code > /< / code > directory and are selected via
the < code > CONFIG_ARCH_name< / code > selection.

2007-03-27 23:27:41 +02:00
In order to be usable, the chip must be contained in a board environment.
The board configuration defines additional properties of the board including such things as
peripheral LEDs, external peripherals (such as network, USB, etc.).
< p >
These board-specific configuration files can be found in the

This directory contains several sub-directories, each containing
architecture-specific logic.
2007-03-23 03:25:54 +01:00
The task of porting NuttX to a new processor consists of
2008-02-07 15:41:11 +01:00
add a new subdirectory under < code > arch/< / code > containing logic specific
to the new architecture.
2007-03-23 03:25:54 +01:00
The complete board port in is defined by the architecture-specific code in this
directory (plus the board-specific configurations in the < code > config/< / code >
subdirectory).
2007-03-27 23:27:41 +02:00
Each architecture must provide a subdirectory, < i > < arch-name> < / i >

The < code > configs/< / code > < i > < board-name> < / i > < code > /< / code > sub-directory holds all of the
2009-06-04 21:45:33 +02:00
files that are necessary to configure NuttX for the particular board.
2008-02-07 15:41:11 +01:00
A board may have various different configurations using the common source files.
Each board configuration is described by three files: < code > Make.defs< / code > , < code > defconfig< / code > , and < code > setenv.sh< / code > .
Typically, each set of configuration files is retained in a separate configuration sub-directory
(< i > < config1-dir> < / i > , < i > < config2-dir> < / i > , .. in the above diagram).
2007-03-27 23:27:41 +02:00

This is a port of the Hitachi SH-1 on the Hitachi SH-1/US7032EVB1 board.
2009-12-13 19:01:46 +01:00
STATUS: This port is available as of release 0.3.18 of NuttX. The port is basically
complete and many examples run correctly. However, there are remaining instabilities
that make the port un-usable. The nature of these is not understood; the behavior is
that certain SH-1 instructions stop working as advertised. This could be a silicon
problem, some pipeline issue that is not handled properly by the gcc 3.4.5 toolchain
(which has very limited SH-1 support to begin with), or perhaps with the CMON debugger.
At any rate, I have exhausted all of the energy that I am willing to put into this cool
old processor for the time being.

< h3 > < a name = "newboardconfig" > 2.4.4 Adding a New Board Configuration< / a > < / h3 >
< p >
Okay, so you have created a new board configuration directory.
Now, how do you hook this board into the configuration system so that you can select with < code > make menuconfig< / code > ?
< / p >
< p >
You will need modify the file < code > configs/Kconfig< / code > .
Let's look at the STM32F4-Discovery configuration in the < code > Kconfig< / code > file and see how we would add a new board directory to the configuration.
For this configuration let's say that you new board resides in the directory < code > configs/myboard< / code > ;
It uses an MCU selected with < code > CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_MYMCU< / code > ; and you want the board to be selected with < code > CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_MYBOARD< / code > .
Then here is how you can clone the STM32F4-Discovery configuration in < code > configs/Kconfig< / code > to support your new board configuration.
< / p >
< p >
In < code > configs/Kconfig< / code > for the stm32f4-discovery, you will see a configuration definition like this:
< p >
< ul > < pre >
config ARCH_BOARD_STM32F4_DISCOVERY
bool "STMicro STM32F4-Discovery board"
depends on ARCH_CHIP_STM32F407VG
select ARCH_HAVE_LEDS
select ARCH_HAVE_BUTTONS
select ARCH_HAVE_IRQBUTTONS
---help---
STMicro STM32F4-Discovery board based on the STMicro STM32F407VGT6 MCU.
< / pre > < / ul >
< p >
The above selects the STM32F4-Discovery board.
The < code > select< / code > lines say that the board has both LEDs and buttons and that the board can generate interrupts from the button presses.
You can just copy the above configuration definition to a new location (notice that they the configurations are in alphabetical order).
Then you should edit the configuration to support your board.
The final configuration definition might look something like:
< / p >
< ul > < pre >
config ARCH_BOARD_MYBOARD
bool "My very own board configuration"
depends on ARCH_CHIP_MYMCU
select ARCH_HAVE_LEDS
select ARCH_HAVE_BUTTONS
select ARCH_HAVE_IRQBUTTONS
---help---
This options selects the board configuration for my very own board
based on the MYMCU processor.
< / pre > < / ul >
< p >
Later in the < code > configs/Kconfig< / code > file, you will see a long, long string configuration with lots of defaults like this:
< / p >
< ul > < pre >
config ARCH_BOARD
string
default "amber" if ARCH_BOARD_AMBER
default "avr32dev1" if ARCH_BOARD_AVR32DEV1
default "c5471evm" if ARCH_BOARD_C5471EVM
...
default "stm32f4discovery" if ARCH_BOARD_STM32F4_DISCOVERY
...
< / pre > < / ul >
< p >
This logic will assign string value to a configuration variable called < code > CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD< / code > that will name the directory where the board-specific files reside.
In our case, these files reside in < code > configs/myboard< / code > and we add the following to the long list of defaults (again in alphabetical order):
< / p >
< ul > < pre >
default "myboar" if ARCH_BOARD_MYBOARD
< / pre > < / ul >
< p >
Now the build system knows where to find your board configuration!
< / p >
< p >
And finally, add something like this near the bottom of < code > configs/myboard< / code > :
< / p >
< ul > < pre >
if ARCH_BOARD_MYBOARD
source "configs/myboard/Kconfig"
endif
< / pre > < / ul >
< p >
This includes additional, board-specific configuration variabled defintion in < code > configs/myboard/Kconfig< / code > .

Normally the logic in this file builds to a single library (< code > libc.a< / code > ).
2011-08-25 18:44:11 +02:00
However, if NuttX is built as a separately compiled kernel (with < code > CONFIG_NUTTX_KERNEL=y< / code > ), then the contents of this directory are built as two libraries:
2012-11-10 16:47:45 +01:00
One for use by user programs (< code > libuc.a< / code > ) and one for use only within the < kernel> space (< code > libkc.a< / code > ).
2011-08-25 18:44:11 +02:00
< / p >
< p >
These user/kernel space libraries (along with the sycalls of < a href = "#DirStructSyscall" > < code > nuttx/syscall< / code > < / a > ) are needed to support the two differing protection domains.

This directory contains most of the network applications.
2009-03-28 20:49:28 +01:00
Some of these are original with NuttX (like tftpc and dhcpd) and others were leveraged from the uIP-1.0 apps directory.
2008-11-26 16:46:12 +01:00
As the uIP apps/README says, these applications " are not all heavily tested."

Configuring NuttX requires only copying the
2008-02-07 15:41:11 +01:00
< a href = "#boardconfigsubdirs" > board-specific configuration files< / a > into the top level directory which appears in the make files as the make variable, < code > ${TOPDIR}< / code > .
2007-03-27 23:27:41 +02:00
This could be done manually as follows:
< / p >
< ul >
2011-03-04 00:15:50 +01:00
< li > Copy < code > configs/< / code > < i > < board-name> < / i > < code > /[< / code > < i > < config-dir> < / i > < code > /]Make.defs< / code > to < code > ${TOPDIR}/Make.defs< / code > ,< li >

< b > Automated Configuration< / b > .
There is a script that automates these steps. The following steps will
accomplish the same configuration:
< / p >
< ul > < pre >
cd tools

./configure.sh < i > < board-name> < / i > [/< i > < config-dir> < / i > ]

2013-01-04 22:37:31 +01:00
There is an alternative Windows batch file, < code > configure.bat< / code > , that can be used insteach of < code > configure.sh< / code > in the windows native enironment like:
< / p >
< ul > < pre >
cd tools
configure.bat < i > < board-name> < / i > [\< i > < config-dir> < / i > ]
< / pre > < / ul >
< p >
See < code > tools/README.txt< / code > for more information about these scripts.
< / p >

exists and your application directory is not in the standard loction (< config > ../apps< / config > ),
2011-04-14 21:17:41 +02:00
then you should also specify the location of the application directory on the command line like:
2011-03-18 18:22:50 +01:00
< / p >
< ul > < pre >
cd tools
2013-01-04 22:37:31 +01:00
./configure.sh -a < app-dir> < i > < board-name> < / i > [/< i > < config-dir> < / i > ]

< / pre > < / ul >
2011-04-14 21:17:41 +02:00
< p >
< b > Version Files< / b > .
The NuttX build expects to find a version file located in the top-level NuttX build directory.
That version file is called < code > .version< / code > .
The correct version file is installed in each versioned NuttX released.
2013-04-20 02:35:06 +02:00
However, if you are working from an GIT snapshot, then there will be no version file.
2011-04-14 21:17:41 +02:00
If there is no version file, the top-level < code > Makefile< / code > will create a dummy < code > .version< / code > file on the first make.
This dummy version file will contain all zeroes for version information.
If that is not what you want, they you should run the < code > version.sh< / code > script to create a better < code > .version< / code > file.
< / p >
< p >
You can get help information from the < code > version.sh< / code > script using the < code > -h< / code > option.
For example:
< / p >
< ul > < pre >
$ tools/version.sh -h
tools/version.sh is a tool for generation of proper version files for the NuttX build
USAGE: tools/version.sh [-d|-h] [-b build] -v < major.minor> < outfile-path>
Where:
-d
Enable script debug
-h
show this help message and exit
-v < major.minor>
The NuttX version number expressed a major and minor number separated
by a period
< outfile-path>
The full path to the version file to be created
< / pre > < / ul >
< p >
2013-04-20 02:35:06 +02:00
As an example, the following command will generate a version file for version 6.1 using the current GIT revision number:
2011-04-14 21:17:41 +02:00
< / p >
< ul > < pre >
tools/version.h -v 6.1 .version
< / pre > < / ul >
< p >
The < code > .version< / code > file is also used during the build process to create a C header file at < code > include/nuttx/version.h< / code > that contains the same version information.
That version file may be used by your C applications for, as an example, reporting version information.
< / p >
2007-03-27 23:27:41 +02:00
< p >
< b > Additional Configuration Steps< / b > .
The remainder of configuration steps will be performed by < a href = "#topmakefile" > < code > ${TOPDIR}/Makefile< / code > < / a >
the first time the system is built as described below.
< / p >
< h2 > < a name = "buildingnuttx" > 3.2 Building NuttX< / a > < / h2 >
< p >
< b > Building NuttX< / b > .
Once NuttX has been configured as described < a href = "#configuringnuttx" > above< / a > , it may be built as follows:
< / p >
< ul > < pre >
cd ${TOPDIR}
source ./setenv.sh
make
< / pre > < / ul >
< p >
The < code > ${TOPDIR}< / code > directory holds:
< / p >
< ul >
< li > The top level < a href = "#topmakefile" > < code > Makefile< / code > < / a > that controls the NuttX build.
< / ul >
< p >
That directory also holds:
< / p >
< ul >
2008-02-07 15:41:11 +01:00
< li > The makefile fragment < a href = "#boardconfigsubdirs" > < code > .config< / code > < / a > that describes the current configuration.< / li >

2008-02-07 15:41:11 +01:00
< li > The shell script < a href = "#boardconfigsubdirs" > < code > setenv.sh< / code > < / a > that sets up the configuration environment for the build.< / li >
2007-03-27 23:27:41 +02:00
< / ul >
< p >
2008-02-07 15:41:11 +01:00
The < a href = "#boardconfigsubdirs" > < code > setenv.sh< / code > < / a > contains Linux/Cygwin environmental settings that are needed for the build.
The specific environmental definitions are unique for each board but should include, as a minimum, updates to the < code > PATH< / code > variable to include the full path to the architecture-specific toolchain identified in < a href = "#boardconfigsubdirs" > < code > Make.defs< / code > < / a > .
The < a href = "#boardconfigsubdirs" > < code > setenv.sh< / code > < / a > only needs to be source'ed at the beginning of a session.
2007-03-27 23:27:41 +02:00
The system can be re-made subsequently by just typing < code > make< / code > .

This function may also need to set up processor registers so that the new thread executes
with the correct privileges.
If < code > CONFIG_NUTTX_KERNEL< / code > has been selected in the NuttX configuration,
then special initialization may need to be performed depending on the task type specified
in the TCB's flags field:
Kernel threads will require kernel-mode privileges;
User tasks and pthreads should have only user-mode privileges.

must be enabled at all three levels.

< p > < b > System Timer< / b >
In most implementations, system time is provided by a timer interrupt.
That timer interrupt runs at rate determined by < code > CONFIG_MSEC_PER_TICKS< / code > (default 10 or 100Hz).
The timer generates an interrupt each < code > CONFIG_MSEC_PER_TICKS< / code > milliseconds and increments a counter called < code > g_system_timer< / code > .
< code > g_system_timer< / code > then provides a time-base for calculating < i > up-time< / i > and elapsed time intervals in units of < code > CONFIG_MSEC_PER_TICKS< / code > .
2011-10-02 16:16:30 +02:00
The range of < code > g_system_timer< / code > is, by default, 32-bits.
However, if the MCU supports type < code > long long< / code > and < code > CONFIG_SYSTEM_TIME16< / code > is selected,
a 64-bit system timer will be supported instead.

< / p >
< p > < b > System Timer Accuracy< / b >
On many system, the exact timer interval specified by < code > CONFIG_MSEC_PER_TICKS< / code > cannot be achieved due to limitations in frequencies or in dividers.
As a result, the time interval specified by < code > CONFIG_MSEC_PER_TICKS< / code > may only be approximate and there may be small errors in the apparent < i > up-time< / i > time.
These small errors, however, will accumulate over time and after a long period of time may have an unacceptably large error in the apparent < i > up-time< / i > of the MCU.
< / p >
If the timer tick period generated by the hardware is not exactly < code > CONFIG_MSEC_PER_TICKS< / code > < i > and< / i > if there you require accurate up-time for the MCU, then there are measures that you can take:
< / p >
< ul >
< li >
Perhaps you can adjust < code > CONFIG_MSEC_PER_TICKS< / code > to a different value so that an exactly < code > CONFIG_MSEC_PER_TICKS< / code > can be accomplished.
< / li >
< li >
Or you can use a technique known as < i > Delta-Sigma Modulation< / i > . (Suggested by Uros Platise). Consider the example below.
< / li >
< / ul >
< p > < b > Delta-Sigma Modulation Example< / b > .
Consider this case: The system timer is a count-up timer driven at 32.768KHz.
There are dividers that can be used, but a divider of one yields the highest accuracy.
This counter counts up until the count equals a match value, then a timer interrupt is generated.
The desire frequency is 100Hz (< code > CONFIG_MSEC_PER_TICKS< / code > is 10).
< / p >
< p >
This exact frequency of 100Hz cannot be obtained in this case.
In order to obtain that exact frequency a match value of 327.68 would have to be provided.
The closest integer value is 328 but the ideal match value is between 327 and 328.
The closest value, 328, would yield an actual timer frequency of 99.9Hz!
That will may cause significant timing errors in certain usages.
< / p >
< p >
Use of Delta-Sigma Modulation can eliminate this error in the long run.
Consider this example implementation:
< / p >
< ol >
< li >
Initially an accumulator is zero an the match value is programmed to 328:
< ul > < pre >
accumulator = 0;
match = 328;
< / pre > < / ul >
< / li >
< li >
On each timer interrupt, accumulator is updated with difference that, in this reflects, 100* the error in interval that just passed.
So on the first timer interrupt, the accumulator would be updated like:
< ul > < pre >
if (match == 328)
{
accumulator += 32; // 100*(328 - 327.68)
}
else
{
accumulator -= 68; // (100*(327 - 327.68)
}
< / pre > < / ul >
< / li >
< li >
And on that same timer interrupt a new match value would be programmed:
< ul > < pre >
if (accumulator < 0 )
{
match = 328;
}
else
{
match = 327;
}
< / pre > < / ul >
< / ol >
< p >
In this way, the timer interval is controlled from interrupt-to-interrupt to produce an average frequency of exactly 100Hz.

< dt > < code > CONFIG_RTC_DATETIME< / code >
< dd > There are two general types of RTC: (1) A simple battery backed counter that keeps the time when power
is down, and (2) A full date / time RTC the provides the date and time information, often in BCD format.
If < code > CONFIG_RTC_DATETIME< / code > is selected, it specifies this second kind of RTC.
In this case, the RTC is used to " seed" " the normal NuttX timer and the NuttX system timer

< dd > If < code > CONFIG_RTC_DATETIME< / code > not selected, then the simple, battery backed counter is used.
There are two different implementations of such simple counters based on the time resolution of the counter:
The typical RTC keeps time to resolution of 1 second, usually supporting a 32-bit < code > time_t< / code > value.
2011-10-02 00:09:00 +02:00
In this case, the RTC is used to " seed" the normal NuttX timer and the NuttX timer provides for higher resoution time.
If < code > CONFIG_RTC_HIRES< / code > is enabled in the NuttX configuration, then the RTC provides higher resolution time and completely replaces the system timer for purpose of date and time.

< p >
The NuttX On-Demand Paging feature permits embedded MCUs with some limited RAM space to execute large programs from some non-random access media.
If the platform meets certiain requirements, then NuttX can provide on-demand paging:
It can copy .text from the large program in non-volatile media into RAM as needed to execute a huge program from the small RAM.
Design and porting issues for this feature are discussed in a sepate document.
Please see the < a href = "NuttXDemandPaging.html" > NuttX Demand Paging< / a > design document for further information.

2009-05-10 00:43:49 +02:00
< p >
A board architecture may or may not have LEDs.
If the board does have LEDs, then most architectures provide similar LED support that is enabled when < code > CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS< / code >
is selected in the NuttX configuration file.
This LED support is part of architecture-specific logic and is not managed by the core NuttX logic.
However, the support provided by each architecture is sufficiently similar that it can be documented here.
< / p >
< h3 > < a name = "ledheaders" > 4.3.1 Header Files< / a > < / h3 >
< p >
LED-related definitions are provided in two header files:
< ul >
< li >
LED definitions are provided for each board in the < code > board.h< / code > that resides
in the < code > < i > < board-name> < / i > /include/board.h< / code > file (which is also
linked to < code > include/arch/board/board.h< / code > when the RTOS is configured).
Those definitions are discussed < a href = "#leddefinitions" > below< / a > .
< / li >
< li >
The board-specific logic provides unique instances of the LED interfaces.
This is because the implementation of LED support may be very different
on different boards.
Prototypes for these board-specific implementations are, however, provided
in architecture-common header files.
That header file is usually at < code > < i > < arch-name> < / i > /src/common/up_internal.h< / code > ,
but could be at other locations in particular architectures.
These prototypes are discussed < a href = "#ledapis" > below< / a > .
< / li >
< / ul >
< / p >
< h3 > < a name = "leddefinitions" > 4.3.2 LED Definitions< / a > < / h3 >
< p >
2013-06-11 23:42:30 +02:00
The implementation of LED support is very specific to a board architecture.
Some boards have several LEDS, others have only one or two.
Some have none.
2009-06-04 21:45:33 +02:00
Others LED matrices and show alphanumeric data, etc.
2009-05-10 00:43:49 +02:00
The NuttX logic does not refer to specific LEDS, rather, it refers to an event to be shown on the LEDS
in whatever manner is appropriate for the board;
the way that this event is presented depends upon the hardware available on the board.
< / p >
< p >
The model used by NuttX is that the board can show 8 events defined as follows in < code > < i > < board-name> < / i > /include/board.h< / code > :
< / p >
< ul > < pre >
#define LED_STARTED ??
#define LED_HEAPALLOCATE ??
#define LED_IRQSENABLED ??
#define LED_STACKCREATED ??
#define LED_INIRQ ??
#define LED_SIGNAL ??
#define LED_ASSERTION ??
#define LED_PANIC ??
< / pre > < / ul >
< p >
The specific value assigned to each pre-processor variable can be whatever makes the implementation easiest for the board logic.
The < i > meaning< / i > associated with each definition is as follows:
< / p >
< ul >
< li >
< code > LED_STARTED< / code > is the value that describes the setting of the LEDs when the LED logic is first initialized.
This LED value is set but never cleared.
< / li >
< li >
< code > LED_HEAPALLOCATE< / code > indicates that the NuttX heap has been configured.
This is an important place in the boot sequence because if the memory is configured wrong, it will probably crash leaving this LED setting.
This LED value is set but never cleared.
< / li >
< li >
< code > LED_IRQSENABLED< / code > indicates that interrupts have been enabled.
Again, during bring-up (or if there are hardware problems), it is very likely that the system may crash just when interrupts are enabled, leaving this setting on the LEDs.
This LED value is set but never cleared.
< / li >
< li >
< code > LED_STACKCREATED< / code > is set each time a new stack is created.
If set, it means that the system attempted to start at least one new thread.
This LED value is set but never cleared.
< / li >
< li >
< code > LED_INIRQ< / code > is set and cleared on entry and exit from each interrupt.
If interrupts are working okay, this LED will have a dull glow.
< / li >
< li >
< code > LED_SIGNAL< / code > is set and cleared on entry and exit from a signal handler.
Signal handlers are tricky so this is especially useful during bring-up or a new architecture.
< / li >
< li >
< code > LED_ASSERTION< / code > is set if an assertion occurs.
< / li >
< li >
< code > LED_PANIC< / code > will blink at around 1Hz if the system panics and hangs.
< / li >
< / ul >
< h3 > < a name = "ledapis" > 4.3.3 Common LED interfaces< / a > < / h3 >
< p >
The < code > < i > < arch-name> < / i > /src/common/up_internal.h< / code > probably has definitions
like:

/* Defined in board/up_leds.c */
#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS

#else

#endif
< / pre > < / ul >
< p >
Where:
< p >
< ul >
< li >
< code > void up_ledinit(void)< / code > is called early in power-up initialization to initialize the LED hardware.
< / li >
< li >
< code > up_ledon(int led)< / code > is called to instantiate the LED presentation of the event.
The < code > led< / code > argument is one of the definitions provided in < code > < i > < board-name> < / i > /include/board.h< / code > .
< / li >

< p > < b > Overview< / b > .
NuttX includes an optional, scalable file system.
2009-06-04 21:45:33 +02:00
This file-system may be omitted altogether; NuttX does not depend on the presence
2007-12-10 18:15:11 +01:00
of any file system.
< / p >
< p > < b > Pseudo Root File System< / b > .
2009-06-04 21:45:33 +02:00
Or, a simple < i > in-memory< / i > , < i > pseudo< / i > file system can be enabled.
2007-12-10 18:15:11 +01:00
This simple file system can be enabled setting the CONFIG_NFILE_DESCRIPTORS
option to a non-zero value (see < a href = "#apndxconfigs" > Appendix A< / a > ).
This is an < i > in-memory< / i > file system because it does not require any
storage medium or block driver support.
Rather, file system contents are generated on-the-fly as referenced via
standard file system operations (open, close, read, write, etc.).
2009-06-04 21:45:33 +02:00
In this sense, the file system is < i > pseudo< / i > file system (in the
2007-12-10 18:15:11 +01:00
same sense that the Linux < code > /proc< / code > file system is also
2009-06-04 21:45:33 +02:00
referred to as a pseudo file system).

< / p >
< p > < b > Mounted File Systems< / b >
The simple in-memory file system can be extended my mounting block
devices that provide access to true file systems backed up via some
mass storage device.
NuttX supports the standard < code > mount()< / code > command that allows
2009-06-04 21:45:33 +02:00
a block driver to be bound to a mountpoint within the pseudo file system
2009-05-22 14:48:05 +02:00
and to a file system.
2012-06-14 02:47:42 +02:00
At present, NuttX supports the standard VFAT and ROMFS file systems,
a special, wear-leveling NuttX FLASH File System (NXFFS),
as well as a Network File System client (NFS version 3, UDP).
2007-12-10 18:15:11 +01:00
< / p >
< p > < b > Comparison to Linux< / b >
From a programming perspective, the NuttX file system appears very similar
to a Linux file system.
However, there is a fundamental difference:
2009-06-04 21:45:33 +02:00
The NuttX root file system is a pseudo file system and true file systems may be
mounted in the pseudo file system.
2007-12-10 18:15:11 +01:00
In the typical Linux installation by comparison, the Linux root file system
2009-06-04 21:45:33 +02:00
is a true file system and pseudo file systems may be mounted in the true,
2007-12-10 18:15:11 +01:00
root file system.
The approach selected by NuttX is intended to support greater scalability
from the very tiny platform to the moderate platform.

2013-06-11 23:42:30 +02:00
is enabled by setting the CONFIG_NFILE_DESCRIPTORS in the NuttX configuration file to a

For the purposes of this driver, a PWM device is any device that generates periodic output pulses of controlled frequency and pulse width.
Such a device might be used, for example, to perform pulse-width modulated output or frequency/pulse-count modulated output
(such as might be needed to control a stepper motor).

< b > Keypads vs. Keyboards< / b >
Keyboards and keypads are really the same devices for NuttX.
2012-12-26 19:54:59 +01:00
A keypad is thought of as simply a keyboard with fewer keys.

2012-12-26 19:54:59 +01:00
In NuttX, a keyboard/keypad driver is simply a character driver that may have an (optional) encoding/decoding layer on the data returned by the character driver.
2012-12-27 15:01:59 +01:00
A keyboard may return simple text data (alphabetic, numeric, and punctuaction) or control characters (enter, control-C, etc.) when a key is pressed.
We can think about this the " normal" keyboard data stream.
However, in addition, most keyboards support actions that cannot be represented as text or control data.
2012-12-26 19:54:59 +01:00
Such actions include things like cursor controls (home, up arrow, page down, etc.), editing functions (insert, delete, etc.), volume controls, (mute, volume up, etc.) and other special functions.
2012-12-27 15:01:59 +01:00
In this case, some special encoding may be required to multiplex the normal text data and special command key press data streams.
< / p >
< p >
< b > Key Press and Release Events< / b >
Sometimes the time that a key is released is needed by applications as well.
Thus, in addition to normal and special key press events, it may also be necessary to encode normal and special key release events.

< b > Encoding/Decoding< / b > Layer< / b > .
2012-12-27 15:01:59 +01:00
An optional encoding/decoding layer can be used with the basic character driver to encode the keyboard events into the text data stream.
2012-12-26 19:54:59 +01:00
The function interfaces that comprise that encoding/decoding layer are defined in the header file < code > include/nuttx/input/kbd_code.h< / code > .
These functions provide an matched set of (a) driver encoding interfaces, and (b) application decoding interfaces.

Activity priority, range 0-9.
Larger values correspond to higher priorities.
Higher priority activity can prevent the system from entering reduced power states for a longer period of time.
As an example, a button press might be higher priority activity because it means that the user is actively interacting with the device.

This function is called from the MCU-specific IDLE loop to monitor the power management conditions.
2011-09-05 00:16:10 +02:00
This function returns the " recommended" power management state based on the PM configuration and activity reported in the last sampling periods.
The power management state is not automatically changed, however.
The IDLE loop must call < code > pm_changestate()< / code > in order to make the state change.
< / p >
< p >
2013-08-27 17:40:19 +02:00
These two steps are separated because the platform-specific IDLE loop may have additional situational information that is not available to the PM sub-system.
2011-09-05 00:16:10 +02:00
For example, the IDLE loop may know that the battery charge level is very low and may force lower power states even if there is activity.
< / p >
< p >
NOTE: That these two steps are separated in time and, hence, the IDLE loop could be suspended for a long period of time between calling < code > pm_checkstate()< / code > and < code > pm_changestate()< / code > .
The IDLE loop may need to make these calls atomic by either disabling interrupts until the state change is completed.

int pm_changestate(enum pm_state_e newstate);

This function is used by platform-specific power management logic.
It will announce the power management power management state change to all drivers that have registered for power management event callbacks.

< dt > < code > newstate< / code >

< / dl >
< / p >
< p > < b > Returned Value:< / b >
0 (< code > OK< / code > ) means that the callback function for all registered drivers returned < code > OK< / code > (meaning that they accept the state change).
Non-zero means that one of the drivers refused the state change.
In this case, the system will revert to the preceding state.
< / p >
< p > < b > Assumptions:< / b >
It is assumed that interrupts are disabled when this function is called.
This function is probably called from the IDLE loop... the lowest priority task in the system.
Changing driver power management states may result in renewed system activity and, as a result, can
suspend the IDLE thread before it completes the entire state change unless interrupts are disabled throughout the state change.

Request the driver to prepare for a new power state.
This is a warning that the system is about to enter into a new power state.
The driver should begin whatever operations that may be required to enter power state.
The driver may abort the state change mode by returning a non-zero value from the callback function.

< / dl >
< / p >
< p > < b > Returned Value:< / b >
Zero (< code > OK< / code > ) means the event was successfully processed and that the driver is prepared for the PM state change.
Non-zero means that the driver is not prepared to perform the tasks needed achieve this power setting and will cause the state change to be aborted.
NOTE: The < code > prepare()< / code > method will also be called when reverting from lower back to higher power consumption modes (say because another driver refused a lower power state change).

However, NuttX has since converted to use the < a href = "http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/projects/kconfig-frontends" > kconfig-frontends< / a > tools.
Now, the NuttX configuration is determined by a self-documenting set of < code > Kconfig< / code > files.

The current NuttX configuration variables are also documented in separate, auto-generated configuration variable document.
That configuration variable document is generated using the < code > kconfig2html< / code > tool that can be found in the < code > nuttx/tools< / code > directory.
That tool analyzes the NuttX Kconfig files and generates excruciatingly boring HTML document.
