< 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.
< / p >
< / li >
< li >
< i > Board specific files< / i > .
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
< code > configs/< / code > < i > < board-name> < / i > < code > /< / code > sub-directories and are discussed
in a a paragraph < a href = "#configsdirectorystructure" > below< / a > .

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
2007-03-19 23:45:58 +01:00
add a new sudirectory under < code > arch/< / code > containing logic specific
to the new architecuture.
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 >
2007-03-23 03:25:54 +01:00

Configuring NuttX requires only copying the
< a href = "#boardconfigfiles" > board-specific configuration files< / a > into the top level directory which appears in the make files as the make variable, < code > ${TOPDIR}< / code > .
This could be done manually as follows:
< / p >
< ul >
< li > Copy < code > configs/< / code > < i > < board-name> < / i > < / code > /Make.def< / code > to < code > ${TOPDIR}/Make.defs< / code > ,< li >

< li > Copy < code > configs/< / code > < i > < board-name> < / i > < / code > /defconfig< / code > to < code > ${TOPDIR}/.config< / code > < / li >
< / ul >
< p >
Where < i > < board-name> < / i > is the name of one of the sub-directories of the
NuttX < a href = "#DirStructConfigs" > < code > configs/< / code > < / a > directory.
This sub-directory name corresponds to one of the supported boards
identified < a href = "#supportedboards" > above< / a > .
< / p >
< p >
< 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 >
< / pre > < / ul >
< 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 >
< li > The makefile fragment < a href = "#boardconfigfiles" > < code > .config< / code > < / a > that describes the current configuration.< / li >
< li > The makefile fragment < a href = "#boardconfigfiles" > < code > Make.defs< / code > < / a > that provides customized build targers, and< / li >
< li > The shell script < a href = "#boardconfigfiles" > < code > setenv.sh< / code > < / a > that sets up the configuration environment for the build.< / li >
< / ul >
< p >
The < a href = "#boardconfigfiles" > < code > setenv.sh< / code > < / a > contains Linux 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 = "#boardconfigfiles" > < code > Make.defs< / code > < / a > .
The < a href = "#boardconfigfiles" > < code > setenv.sh< / code > < / a > only needs to be source'ed at the beginning of a session.
The system can be re-made subsequently by just typing < code > make< / code > .
< / p >
< p >
< b > First Time Make.< / b >
Additional configuration actions will be taken the first time that system is built.
These additional steps include:
< / p >
< ul >
< li > Auto-generating the file < code > include/nuttx/config.< / code > using the < code > ${TOPDIR}/.config< / code > file.
< li > Creating a link to < code > ${TOPDIR}/arch/< / code > < i > < arch-name> < / i > < code > /include< / code > at < code > ${TOPDIR}/include/arch< / code > .

When tasks become ready-to-run but cannot run because pre-emption
is disabled, they are placed into a pending task list.
This function releases and makes ready-to-run all of the tasks that have
collected in the pending task list. This can cause a
context switch if a new task is placed at the head of
the ready to run list.

Called when the priority of a running or
ready-to-run task changes and the reprioritization will
cause a context switch. Two cases:
< / p >
< ol >
< li >
The priority of the currently running task drops and the next
task in the ready to run list has priority.
< / li >
< li >
An idle, ready to run task's priority has been raised above the
the priority of the current, running task and it now has the
priority.

< code > void up_schedule_sigaction(FAR _TCB *tcb, sig_deliver_t sigdeliver);< / code >
< / p >
< p > < b > Description< / b > .
This function is called by the OS when one or more
signal handling actions have been queued for execution.
The architecture specific code must configure things so
that the 'igdeliver' callback is executed on the thread
specified by 'tcb' as soon as possible.
< / p >
< p >
This function may be called from interrupt handling logic.
< / p >
< p >
This operation should not cause the task to be unblocked
nor should it cause any immediate execution of sigdeliver.
Typically, a few cases need to be considered:
< / p >
< ol >
< li >
This function may be called from an interrupt handler
During interrupt processing, all xcptcontext structures
should be valid for all tasks. That structure should
be modified to invoke sigdeliver() either on return
from (this) interrupt or on some subsequent context
switch to the recipient task.
< / li >
< li >
If not in an interrupt handler and the tcb is NOT
the currently executing task, then again just modify
the saved xcptcontext structure for the recipient
task so it will invoke sigdeliver when that task is
later resumed.
< / li >
< li >
If not in an interrupt handler and the tcb IS the
currently executing task -- just call the signal
handler now.
< / li >
< / ol >

The heap may be statically allocated by
defining CONFIG_HEAP_BASE and CONFIG_HEAP_SIZE. If these
are not defined, then this function will be called to
dynamically set aside the heap region.
