<b>STATUS:</b>
This is still a work in progess.
At present there is a working basic port with OS verification, Nuttshell (<a href="http://www.nuttx.org/Documentation/NuttShell.html">NSH</a>) configurations, and a graphics test configuration.
The NSH configuration includes verfied support for (DMA-based) SD card interface.
SDRAM is working.
The LCD driver is not functional as of this writing, but is actively underwork and is expected to be available in the NuttX-6.27 release.
The frame-buffer LCD driver is functional and the touchscreen interface is actively underwork.
Both should be available in the NuttX-6.27 release.

<b>STATUS:</b>
As of this writing, the basic port is code complete but still untested.
The fully verified LM4F120 LaunchPad port is expected in NuttX-6.27.
As of this writing, the basic port is code complete and fully verified configurations exit for the basic NuttX OS test and for the NuttShell <a href="http://www.nuttx.org/Documentation/NuttShell.html">NSH</a>).
The first fully functional LM4F120 LaunchPad port was released in NuttX-6.27.

Status: Open
Priority: Low (unless security becomes an issue).
Title: MICRO-KERNEL
Description: The initial kernel build cut many interfaces at a very high level.
The resulting monolithic kernel is then rather large. it would
not be a prohibitively large task to reorganize the interfaces so
that NuttX is built as a micro-kernel, i.e., with only the core
OS services within the kernel and with other OS facilities, such
as the file system, to reside in user-space and to interface with
those core OS facilities through traps.
Status: Open
Priority: Low. This is a good idea and certainly an architectural
improvement. However, there is no strong motivivation now do
do that partitioning work.

not produce ELF final binaries but, rather, DOS MZ executables (i.e., .exe
files). Those cannot be used with QEMU.
The file */setenv.sh should be modified to point to the correct path to the
GCC toolchain (if different from the default in your PATH variable).
NOTE: It has also been reported to me that with a certain Ubuntu virtual
installation, the native x86 did not build correct i486 code. Other
installations of the same vintage do not have such issues. However,
there is always a possibility that any GCC release will be incompatible
with i486. That fallback used by this person in this particular case
was to use the Buildroot i486 cross-development tool described below. I
suspect that this was not necessary, but it was a simple work-around
that allowed that person to build a work-able system.
In any event, the file */setenv.sh should be modified to point to the correct
path to the GCC toolchain (if different from the default in your PATH
variable).
