Usually the startup script is placed under /etc. The contents of the etc directory
are compiled and linked with Nuttx binary in the form of romfs. After startup,
it will be mounted by Nsh.
etc is generated by the different boards, that use genromfs and xxd tools to generate
and compile it into the Nuttx, for example: boards/arm/at32/at32f437-mini/tool/mkromfs.sh
The more common method is etc image generated from the content in the corresponding
board/arch/board/board/src/etc directory, and added by Makefile for example:
boards/sim/sim/sim/src/etc.
But in kernel/protected mode, Nuttx kernel and apps are run in different privileged/
non-privileged mode or the isolated binarys, so as that nsh should use syscall to
access Nuttx kernel by exported API. In this scenario, nsh can not mount the etc image
content, because that is generated in board and as a part of Nuttx kernel.
changes:
- move etc romfs mount from nsh to Nuttx, but keep the script to parse and execute.
- move and rename the related CONFIG, move customized nsh_romfsimg.h to etc_romfs.c
in boards, and no need declaration for romfs_img/romfs_img_len.
This commit changes and updates all configurations in Nuttx arch/board as much as possible,
but if any missing, please refer to the following simple guide:
- rename CONFIG_NSH_ROMFSETC to CONFIG_ETC_ROMFS, and delete CONFIG_NSH_ARCHROMFS in defconfig
- rename the etc romfs mount configs, for example CONFIG_NSH_FATDEVNO to CONFIG_ETC_FATDEVNO
- move customized nsh_romfsimg.h to etc_romfs.c in board/arch/board/board/src and no need
declaration for romfs_img/romfs_img_len.
- delete default nsh_romfsimg.h, if ROMFSETC is enabled, should generate and compile etc_romfs.c
in board/arch/board/board/src.

At present, the serial drivers qemu_serial.c and serial_pl011.c on the fvp-v8r and qemu platforms in arm64 are duplicated
and need to be merged. The plan is to place them under the drivers\serial directory to create a common code module,
so that both fvp-v8r and qemu can use the same code.
In the future, if new platforms use pl011 serial ports, they can also be directly reused

Summary:
Keeping this option out of depend on any common serial.
Using the option, need to implement xxx_lowputc.S/c.
You can also logging the booting message through rewriting
fake arm64_lowputc with other debug method (eg semihosting,
ARM debug channel etc).

Summary:
To reduce the count of FPU context switching will result at a
performance improve with system. it need to balance between
the using of FPU and counts of FPU trap
the PR submit a base method to see performance counts for
the FPU with NuttX procfs
Please read README.txt at chapter of FPU Support and Performance
for more information

Summary:
Adding virtual evaluate platform FVP. This FVP board configuration
will be used to emulate generic ARM64v8-R (Cotex-R82)series hardware
platform and provide support for these devices:
- GICv3 interrupt controllers for ARMv8-r
- PL011 UART controller(FVP)
Note:
1. ostest is PASSED at fvp ( single core and SMP)
2. the FVP tools can be download from ARM site, please check FVP
