Development Workflow
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
NuttX development workflow is based around contributions submitted in the form of GitHub Pull Requests (PR). This is true both for external contributors and NuttX maintainers, as direct pushes to the repository are not allowed as a general rule. Once submitted, your PR
|
||||
will be reviewed and checked using Continuous Integration (CI) practices.

|
||||
|
||||
You should be aware of the following:
|
||||
|
||||
- All contributions must adhere to the :doc:`Coding Standard <coding_style>`. You can check your files using ``nxstyle``
|
||||
or complete patchsets using ``checkpatch`` script (both found in ``tools`` subdirectory of NuttX repository). This check will also run
|
||||
automatically during CI to ensure conformance.

|
||||
|

Note that not all existing files in the repository are already adapted to conform to the standard as this is an ongoing effort. Thus,
|
||||
if you're submitting a patch to an existing file you may have to make the file conform to the standard, even if you are not responsible
|
||||
for those standard violations.

It is also appreciated that you separate any styling fixes in a separate commit from the functional changes so that these are more
|
||||
easily readable during review.

wasted effort by going the wrong-route.

the terms of the Apache 2.0 License using the corresponding :ref:`header <contributing/coding_style:Appendix>`.

- If you are submitting third-party code:

- Code from actively developed projects is not accepted to be included in NuttX (i.e.: creating a fork). It is expected that

changes required in third-party code for NuttX support are to be implemented in these projects. As an intermediate solution,

it is acceptable to include a patch to be applied to this third-party code, which will be pulled during built.

NuttX Documentation
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
NuttX is a real-time operating system (RTOS) with an emphasis on standards compliance and small footprint. Scalable from 8-bit to 64-bit microcontroller environments, the primary governing standards in NuttX are POSIX and ANSI standards. Additional standard APIs from Unix and other common RTOS’s (such as VxWorks) are adopted for functionality not available under these standards, or for functionality that is not appropriate for deeply-embedded environments (such as fork()).
