<h1>Overview</h1>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<b>Goals</b>.
|
||||
Nuttx is a real timed embedded operating system (RTOS).
|
||||
Its goals are:
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>A very small footprint usable in all but the tightest micro-controller environments,</li>
|
||||
<li>Fully scalable from tiny (8-bit) to moderate embedded (32-bit),</li>
|
||||
<li>High degree of standards compliance.</li>
|
||||
<li>Totally open.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>Small Footprint</b></li>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Usable in all but the tightest micro-controller environments,
|
||||
The focus is on the tiny-to-small, deeply embedded environment.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<li><b>Rich Feature OS Set</b></li>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The goal is to provide most standard POSIX OS interfaces to support
|
||||
a rich multi-threaded development environment.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
NON-GOALS: (1) It is not a goal to provide OS subsystems such
|
||||
as network or USB (but these could obviously be added).
|
||||
(2) There is no MMU-based support for processes.
|
||||
At present, NuttX assumes a flat address space.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<li><b>Highly Scalable</b></li>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Fully scalable from tiny (8-bit) to moderate embedded (32-bit).
|
||||
Scalability with rich feature set is accomplished with:
|
||||
Many tiny source files, link from static libraries, highly configurable, use of
|
||||
weak symbols when available.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<li><b>Standards Compliance</b></li>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
NuttX strives to achieve a high degree of standards compliance.
|
||||
The primary governing standards are POSIX and ANSI standards.
|
||||
Additional standard APIs from Unix and other common RTOS's are
|
||||
adopted for functionality not available under these standards
|
||||
or for functionaly that is not appropriate for the deeply-embedded
|
||||
RTOS (such as <code>fork()</code>).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Because of this standards conformance, software developed under other
|
||||
standard OSs (such as Linux) should port easily to NuttX.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<li><b>Real-Time</b></li>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Fully pre-emptible, fixed priority and round-robin scheduling.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<li><b>Totally Open</b></li>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Non-restrictive BSD license.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
</ol>

||||

||||
<h1>Downloads</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The initial release of NuttX (nuttx-0.1.0) is avalable for download
|
||||
from the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=189573">SourceForge</a>
|
||||
website.
|
||||

||||
<h1>Supported Platforms</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>x86 Linux Simulation</b>. Fully functional.</li>
|
||||
<li>TI <b>TMS320C5471</b> (also called <b>TMS320DM180</b>).
|
||||
NuttX operates on the ARM7 of this dual core processor.
|
||||
This port uses the <a href="http://www.spectrumdigital.com/">Spectrum Digital</a>
|
||||
evaluation board with a GNU arm-elf toolchain*.
|
||||
This port is complete, verified, and included in the initial NuttX
|
||||
release.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>8051 Microcontroller</b>.
|
||||
This port uses the <a href="http://www.pjrc.com/">PJRC</a> 87C52 development system
|
||||
and the <a href="http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/">SDCC</a> toolchain.
|
||||
This port will require a few more weeks before it is ready for prime time.</li>
|
||||
<li><b>Other ports</b>.
|
||||
I also have partial ports for the TI TMS320DM270 and for MIPS.
|
||||
<li><b>Linux User Mode</b></li>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
A user-mode port of NuttX to the x86 Linux platform is available.
|
||||
The purpose of this port is primarily to support OS feature developement.
|
||||
