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.

- migrated /README are removed from /boards
- there are a lot of READMEs that should be further converted to rst.
At the moment they are moved to Documentation/platforms and included in rst files
When I try to set priorities in certain programs, such as init_priority(HIGH_PRIORITY), I've noticed that during linking, there's no guarantee that the programs will be compiled in the sequence I've specified based on priority. This has led to some runtime errors in my program.
I realized that in the ld file, when initializing dynamic arrays, there's no assurance of initializing init_array.* before init_array. This has resulted in runtime errors in the program. Consequently, I've rearranged the init_array.* in the ld file of NuttX to be placed before init_array and added a SORT operation to init_array.* to ensure accurate initialization based on priorities during linking.
replace *(.init_array .init_array.*) with KEEP(*(.init_array .init_array.*)).
The KEEP statement within a linker script will instruct the linker to keep the specified section, even if no symbols inside it are referenced. This statement is used within the SECTIONS section of the linker script. This becomes relevant when garbage collection is performed at link time, enabled by passing the --gc-sections switch to the linker. The KEEP statement instructs the linker to use the specified section as a root node when creating a dependency graph, looking for unused sections. Essentially forcing the section to be marked as used.

- Adds support for the Starcat Jupiter Nano
SAMA5D27C-LD1G board
- https://github.com/starcat-io/jupiter-nano
- this board is very similar to the Microchip/Atmel
SAMA5D2-Xplained board (sama5d2-xult)
