Overview |
Goals. NuttX is a real timed embedded operating system (RTOS). Its goals are:
| Small Footprint | |
|
Usable in all but the tightest micro-controller environments, The focus is on the tiny-to-small, deeply embedded environment. | |
| Rich Feature OS Set | |
|
The goal is to provide implementations of most standard POSIX OS interfaces to support a rich, multi-threaded development environment for deeply embedded processors. NON-GOALS: (1) It is not a goal to provide the level of OS features like those provided by Linux. In order to work with smaller MCUs, small footprint must be more important than an extensive feature set. But standard compliance is more important than small footprint. Surely a smaller RTOS could be produced by ignoring standards. Think of NuttX is a tiny Linux work-alike with a much reduced feature set. (2) There is no MMU-based support for processes. At present, NuttX assumes a flat address space. | |
| Highly Scalable | |
|
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. | |
| Standards Compliance | |
|
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 functionality that is not appropriate for the deeply-embedded
RTOS (such as Because of this standards conformance, software developed under other standard OSs (such as Linux) should port easily to NuttX. | |
| Real-Time | |
|
Fully pre-emptible, fixed priority and round-robin scheduling. | |
| Totally Open | |
|
Non-restrictive BSD license. | |
| GNU Toolchains | |
|
Compatible GNU toolchains based on buildroot available for download to provide a complete development environment for many architectures. |
Feature Set. Key features of NuttX include:

NuttX Add-Ons. The following packages are available to extend the basic NuttX feature set:
| NuttShell (NSH) | |
|
| |
| Pascal Compiler with NuttX runtime P-Code interpreter add-on | |
|
|
Look at all those files and features... How can it be a tiny OS?. The NuttX feature list (above) is fairly long and if you look at the NuttX source tree, you will see that there are hundreds of source files comprising NuttX. How can NuttX be a tiny OS with all of that?
| Lots of Features -- More can be smaller! | |
|
The philosophy behind that NuttX is that lots of features are great... BUT also that if you don't use those features, then you should not have to pay a penalty for the unused features. And, with NuttX, you don't! If you don't use a feature, it will not be included in the final executable binary. You only have to pay the penalty of increased footprint for the features that you actually use. Using a variety of technologies, NuttX can scale from the very tiny to the moderate-size system. I have executed NuttX with some simple applications in as little as 32K total memory (code and data). On the other hand, typical, richly featured NuttX builds require more like 64K (and if all of the features are used, this can push 100K). |
|
| Many, many files -- More really is smaller! | |
|
One may be intimidated by the size NuttX source tree. There are hundreds of source files! How can that be a tiny OS? Actually, the large number of files is one of the tricks to keep NuttX small and as scalable as possible. Most files contain only a single function. Sometimes just one tiny function with only a few lines of code. Why?
|
|
| Other Tricks | |
|
As mentioned above, the use of many, tiny source files and linking from static libraries keeps the size of NuttX down. Other tricks used in NuttX include:

Additional new features and extended functionality
File Systems
MTD (FLASH) Drivers
LCD Drivers
Wireless Drivers
Calypso
STM32
stm32_dmacapable() that can be used
to determine if DMA is possible from the specified memory address
(from Petteri Aimonen)
STM32 Drivers
CONFIG_STM32_DMACAPABLE is defined, the STM32 SPI driver now uses
stm32_dmacapable() to determine if it is possible to perform DMA
from the specified address. This change is important for the STM32
F4 which may have SPI data buffers allocated on the stack in CCM
memory which cannot support the DMA (from Petteri Aimonen).

PIC32MX Boards
Build System
.gitignore files: Made scope of ignore to be
only the current directory; Ignore .dSYM files in directories where
.exe's may be built. Also, in Makefiles, clean .dSYM files in
directories where an .exe may be built.
CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS is
sufficient to build an application, test, or or example as an NSH
builtin application.
Libraries
dprintf() and vdprintf() (the latter from Andrew Tridgell).
flash_eraseall NSH command (from Ken Pettit).
Applications
test/examples. Currently used with (1) the a
simulation configuration to test MTD partitions on a RAM emulation
of FLASH and (2) with the Mikroe STM32F4 configuration.
Efforts In Progress. The following are features that are partially implemented but present in this release. Most are expected to be fully available in NuttX 6.29.
Audio System
kconfig-fronted Configuration
Bugfixes (see the change log for details). Some of these are very important:
Tasking
Kernel Build
Networking
poll() logic should
set POLLIN (or POLLRDNORM), not POLLOUT (from Max Holtzberg).
LCD Drivers
USB Device Controller Drivers
STM32 Drivers
LPC17xx Drivers
Freescale Kinetis
PIC32MX
Graphics
Applications
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXTEXT_NOGETRUN option from the NXTEXT
example. The test logic was bad for the case where this options is
not selected. Also, completed the empty Kconfig file.

|
|
NXP LPC2378. Support is provided for the NXP LPC2378 MCU. In particular, support is provided for the Olimex-LPC2378 development board. This port was contributed by Rommel Marcelo is was first released in NuttX-5.3. This port also used the GNU arm-nuttx-elf toolchain* under Linux or Cygwin. STATUS: This port boots and passes the OS test (apps/examples/ostest) and includes a working implementation of the NuttShell (NSH). The port is complete and verified. As of NuttX 5.3, the port includes only basic timer interrupts and serial console support. Development Environments: (Same as for the NXP LPC214x). |
|
|
STMicro STR71x. Support is provided for the STMicro STR71x family of processors. In particular, support is provided for the Olimex STR-P711 evaluation board. This port also used the GNU arm-nuttx-elf toolchain* under Linux or Cygwin. STATUS: Integration is complete on the basic port (boot logic, system time, serial console). Two configurations have been verified: (1) The board boots and passes the OS test with console output visible on UART0, and the NuttShell (NSH) is fully functional with interrupt driven serial console. An SPI driver is available but only partially tested. Additional features are needed: USB driver, MMC integration, to name two (the slot on the board appears to accept on MMC card dimensions; I have only SD cards). An SPI-based ENC28J60 Ethernet driver for add-on hardware is available and but has not been fully verified on the Olimex board (due to issues powering the ENC28J60 add-on board). Development Environments: 1) Linux with native Linux GNU toolchain, 2) Cygwin/MSYS with Cygwin GNU toolchain, 3) Cygwin/MSYS with Windows native toolchain (CodeSourcery or devkitARM), or 4) Native Windows. A DIY toolchain for Linux or Cygwin is provided by the NuttX buildroot package. |
|
| ARM920T. | |
|
Freescale MC9328MX1 or i.MX1. This port uses the Freescale MX1ADS development board with a GNU arm-nuttx-elf toolchain* under either Linux or Cygwin. STATUS: This port has stalled due to development tool issues. Coding is complete on the basic port (timer, serial console, SPI). |
|
| ARM926EJS. | |
|
TI TMS320DM320 (also called DM320). NuttX operates on the ARM9 of this dual core processor. This port uses the Neuros OSD with a GNU arm-nuttx-elf toolchain* under Linux or Cygwin. The port was performed using the OSD v1.0, development board. STATUS: The basic port (timer interrupts, serial ports, network, framebuffer, etc.) is complete. All implemented features have been verified with the exception of the USB device-side driver; that implementation is complete but untested. |
|
|
NXP LPC3131.
The port for the NXP LPC3131 on the Embedded Artists EA3131
development board was first released in NuttX-5.1 with a GNU arm-nuttx-elf or arm-eabi toolchain* under Linux or Cygwin
(but was not functional until NuttX-5.2).
STATUS: The basic EA3131 port is complete and verified in NuttX-5.2 This basic port includes basic boot-up, serial console, and timer interrupts. This port was extended in NuttX 5.3 with a USB high speed driver contributed by David Hewson. David also contributed I2C and SPI drivers plus several important LPC313x USB bug fixes that appear in the NuttX 5.6 release. This port has been verified using the NuttX OS test, USB serial and mass storage tests and includes a working implementation of the NuttShell (NSH). Support for on-demand paging has been developed for the EA3131. That support would all execute of a program in SPI FLASH by paging code sections out of SPI flash as needed. However, as of this writing, I have not had the opportunity to verify this new feature. |
|
|
NXP LPC315x.
Support for the NXP LPC315x family has been incorporated into the code base as of NuttX-6.4.
Support has added for the Embedded Artists EA3152 board in NuttX-6.11.
STATUS: Basic support is in place for both the LPC3152 MCU and the EA3152 board. Verification of the port was deferred due to tool issues However, because of the high degree of compatibility between the LPC313x and LPC315x family, it is very likely that the support is in place (or at least very close). At this point, verification of the EA3152 port has been overcome by events and may never happen. However, the port is available for anyone who may want to use it. |

nuvoTon NUC120. This is a port of NuttX to the nuvoTon NuTiny-SDK-NUC120 that features the NUC120LE3AN MCU. STATUS. Initial support for the NUC120 was released in NuttX-6.26. This initial support is very minimal: There is an OS test configuration that verifies the correct port of NuttX to the part and a NuttShell (NSH) configuration that might be the basis for an application development. As of this writing, more device drivers are needed to make this a more complete port. Memory Usage. For a full-featured RTOS such as NuttX, providing support in a usable and meaningful way within the tiny memories of the NUC120 demonstrates the scalability of NuttX. The NUC120LE2AN comes in a 48-pin package and has 128KB FLASH and 16KB of SRAM. When running the NSH configuration (itself a full up application), there is still more than 90KB of FLASH and 10KB or SRAM available for further application development).
Static memory usage can be shown with $ size nuttx text data bss dec hex filename 35037 106 1092 36235 8d8b nuttx
NuttX, the NSH application, and GCC libraries use 34.2KB of FLASH leaving 93.8KB of FLASH (72%) free from additional application development.
Static SRAM usage is about 1.2KB (<4%) and leaves 14.8KB (86%) available for heap at runtime.
SRAM usage at run-time can be shown with the NSH
NuttShell (NSH) NuttX-6.26
nsh> free
total used free largest
Mem: 14160 3944 10216 10216
nsh>
You can see that 10.0KB (62%) is available for further application development. Development Environments: 1) Linux with native Linux GNU toolchain, 2) Cygwin/MSYS with Cygwin GNU toolchain, 3) Cygwin/MSYS with Windows native toolchain, or 4) Native Windows. A DIY toolchain for Linux or Cygwin is provided by the NuttX buildroot package. |

FreeScale Freedom KL25Z. This is a port of NuttX to the Freedom KL25Z board that features the MKL25Z128 Cortex-M0+ MCU, 128KB of FLASH and 16KB of SRAM. See the Freescale website for further information about this board. STATUS. This is the work of Alan Carvalho de Assis. Verified, initial, minimal support for the Freedom KL25Z is in place in NuttX 6.27 and 6.28: There is a working OS test configuration that verifies the correct port of NuttX to the part and a working NuttShell (NSH) configuration that might be the basis for an application development. As of NuttX-6.28 more device driver development would be needed to make this a complete port, particularly to support USB OTG. |
|
| ARM Cortex-M3. | |
|
TI/Stellaris LM3S6432. This is a port of NuttX to the Stellaris RDK-S2E Reference Design Kit and the MDL-S2E Ethernet to Serial module (contributed by Mike Smith). |
|
|
TI/Stellaris LM3S6432S2E. This port uses Serial-to-Ethernet Reference Design Kit (RDK-S2E) and has similar support as for the other Stellaris family members. Configurations are available for the OS test and for the NuttShell (NSH) (see the NSH User Guide). The NSH configuration including networking support with a Telnet NSH console. This port was contributed by Mike Smith. STATUS: This port was will be released in NuttX 6.14. |
|
|
TI/Stellaris LM3S6918. This port uses the Micromint Eagle-100 development board with a GNU arm-nuttx-elf toolchain* under either Linux or Cygwin. STATUS: The initial, release of this port was included in NuttX version 0.4.6. The current port includes timer, serial console, Ethernet, SSI, and microSD support. There are working configurations the NuttX OS test, to run the NuttShell (NSH), the NuttX networking test, and the uIP web server. Development Environments: 1) Linux with native Linux GNU toolchain, 2) Cygwin/MSYS with Cygwin GNU toolchain, 3) Cygwin/MSYS with Windows native toolchain (CodeSourcery or devkitARM), or 4) Native Windows. A DIY toolchain for Linux or Cygwin is provided by the NuttX buildroot package. |
|
|
TI/Stellaris LM3S6965. This port uses the Stellaris LM3S6965 Ethernet Evalution Kit with a GNU arm-nuttx-elf toolchain* under either Linux or Cygwin. STATUS: This port was released in NuttX 5.5. Features are the same as with the Eagle-100 LM3S6918 described above. The apps/examples/ostest configuration has been successfully verified and an NSH configuration with Telnet support is available. MMC/SD and Networking support was not been thoroughly verified: Current development efforts are focused on porting the NuttX window system (NX) to work with the Evaluation Kits OLED display. NOTE: As it is configured now, you MUST have a network connected. Otherwise, the NSH prompt will not come up because the Ethernet driver is waiting for the network to come up. Development Environments: See the Eagle-100 LM3S6918 above. |
|
|
TI/Stellaris LM3S8962. This port uses the Stellaris EKC-LM3S8962 Ethernet+CAN Evalution Kit with a GNU arm-nuttx-elf toolchain* under either Linux or Cygwin. Contributed by Larry Arnold. STATUS: This port was released in NuttX 5.10. Features are the same as with the Eagle-100 LM3S6918 described above. |
|
|
TI/Stellaris LM3S9B96. Header file support was contributed by Tiago Maluta for this part. Jose Pablo Rojas V. is used those header file changes to port NuttX to the TI/Stellaris EKK-LM3S9B96. That port was available in the NuttX-6.20 release. |
|
|
STMicro STM32L152 (STM32L "EnergyLite" Line). This is a port of NuttX to the STMicro STM32L-Discovery development board. The STM32L-Discovery board is based on the STM32L152RBT6 MCU (128KB FLASH and 16KB of SRAM).
The STM32L-Discovery and 32L152CDISCOVERY kits are functionally equivalent. The difference is the internal Flash memory size (STM32L152RBT6 with 128 Kbytes or STM32L152RCT6 with 256 Kbytes). Both boards feature: STATUS. Initial support for the STM32L-Discovery was released in NuttX-6.28. This initial support includes a configuration using the NuttShell (NSH) that might be the basis for an application development. A driver for the on-board segment LCD is included as well as an option to drive the segment LCD from an NSH "built-in" command. As of this writing, a few more things are needed to make this a more complete port: 1) Verfication of more device drivers (timers, quadrature encoders, PWM, etc.), and 2) logic that actually uses the low-power consumption modes of the EnergyLite part. Memory Usage. For a full-featured RTOS such as NuttX, providing support in a usable and meaningful way within the tiny memories of the STM32L152RBT6 demonstrates the scalability of NuttX. The STM32L152RBT6 comes in a 64-pin package and has 128KB FLASH and 16KB of SRAM.
Static memory usage can be shown with $ size nuttx text data bss dec hex filename 39664 132 1124 40920 9fd8 nuttx NuttX, the NSH application, and GCC libraries use 38.7KB of FLASH leaving 89.3B of FLASH (70%) free from additional application development. Static SRAM usage is about 1.2KB (<4%) and leaves 14.8KB (86%) available for heap at runtime. SRAM usage at run-time can be shown with the NSHfree command:
NuttShell (NSH) NuttX-6.27
nsh> free
total used free largest
Mem: 14096 3928 10168 10168
nsh>
You can see that 9.9KB (62%) of SRAM heap is staill available for further application development while NSH is running. |

STMicro STM32F100x (STM32 F1 "Value Line"Family). Chip support for these STM32 "Value Line" family was contributed by Mike Smith and users have reported that they have successful brought up NuttX on there proprietary boards using this logic. This logic was extended to support the high density STM32F100RC chips by Freddie Chopin However, there is no specific board support for this chip families in the NuttX source tree. There is, however, generic support for STM32F100RC boards. | |
|
STMicro STM32F103C4/8 (STM32 F1 Low- and Medium-Density Family). This port is for "STM32 Tiny" development board. This board is available from several vendors on the net, and may be sold under different names. It is based on a STM32 F103C8T6 MCU, and is bundled with a nRF24L01 wireless communication module.

Atmel AT91SAM3U. This port uses the Atmel SAM3U-EK development board that features the AT91SAM3U4E MCU. This port uses a GNU arm-nuttx-elf or arm-nuttx-eabi toolchain* under either Linux or Cygwin (with native Windows GNU tools or Cygwin-based GNU tools). STATUS: The basic SAM3U-EK port was released in NuttX version 5.1. The basic port includes boot-up logic, interrupt driven serial console, and system timer interrupts. That release passes the NuttX OS test and is proven to have a valid OS implementation. A configuration to support the NuttShell is also included. NuttX version 5.4 adds support for the HX8347 LCD on the SAM3U-EK board. This LCD support includes an example using the NX graphics system. NuttX version 6.10 adds SPI support. Subsequent NuttX releases will extend this port and add support for SDIO-based SD cards and USB device (and possible LCD support). These extensions may or may not happen soon as my plate is kind of full now. Development Environments: 1) Linux with native Linux GNU toolchain, 2) Cygwin/MSYS with Cygwin GNU toolchain, 3) Cygwin/MSYS with Windows native toolchain (CodeSourcery or devkitARM), or 4) Native Windows. A DIY toolchain for inux or Cygwin is provided by the NuttX buildroot package. |

FreeScale Kinetis K40. This port uses the Freescale Kinetis KwikStik K40. Refer to the Freescale web site for further information about this board. The Kwikstik is used with the FreeScale Tower System (mostly just to provide a simple UART connection) STATUS: The unverified KwikStik K40 first appeared in NuttX-6.8 As of this writing, the basic port is complete but I accidentally locked my board during the initial bringup. Further development is stalled unless I learn how to unlock the device (or until I get another K40). Additional work remaining includes, among other things: (1) complete the basic bring-up, (2) bring up the NuttShell NSH, (3) develop support for the SDHC-based SD card, (4) develop support for USB host and device, and (2) develop an LCD driver. NOTE: Some of these remaining tasks are shared with the K60 work described below. |

FreeScale Kinetis K60. This port uses the Freescale Kinetis TWR-K60N512 tower system. Refer to the Freescale web site for further information about this board. The TWR-K60N51 includes with the FreeScale Tower System which provides (among other things) a DBP UART connection. STATUS: As of this writing, the basic port is complete and passes the NuttX OS test. An additional, validated configuration exists for the NuttShell (NSH, see the NSH User Guide). This basic TWR-K60N512 first appeared in NuttX-6.8. Ethernet and SD card (SDHC) drivers also exist: The SDHC driver is partially integrated in to the NSH configuration but has some outstanding issues; the Ethernet driver is completely untested. Additional work remaining includes: (1) integrate the Ethernet and SDHC drivers, and (2) develop support for USB host and device. NOTE: Most of these remaining tasks (excluding the Ethernet driver) are the same as the pending K40 tasks described above. |

STMicro STM32 F427/437. General architectural support was provided for the F427/437 family in NuttX 4.27. Specific support includes the STM32F427I, STM32F427Z, and STM32F427V chips. This is architecture-only support, meaning that support for the boards with these chips is available, but not support for any publically available boards is included.. This support was contributed by Mike Smith. The F427/f37 port adds (1) additional SPI ports, (2) additional UART ports, (3) analog and digital noise filters on the I2C ports, (4) up to 2MB of flash, (5) an additional lower-power mode for the internal voltage regulator, (6) a new prescaling option for timer clock, (7) a larger FSMSC write FIFO, and (8) additional crypto modes (F437 only). |

Atmel AT91SAM4L. This port uses the Atmel SAM4L Xplained Pro development board. This board features the ATSAM4LC4C MCU running at 48MHz with 256KB of FLASH and 32KB of internal SRAM. STATUS: As of this writing, the basic port is code complete and fully verified configurations exist for the basic NuttX OS test and for the NuttShell NSH). The first fully functional SAM4L Xplained Pro port was released in NuttX-6.28. Memory Usage. The ATSAM4LC4C comes in a 100-pin package and has 256KB FLASH and 32KB of SRAM. Below is the current memory usage for the NSH configuration (June 9, 2013). This is not a minimal implementation, but a full-featured NSH configuration.
Static memory usage can be shown with $ size nuttx text data bss dec hex filename 43572 122 2380 46074 b3fa nuttx NuttX, the NSH application, and GCC libraries use 42.6KB of FLASH leaving 213.4B of FLASH (83.4%) free from additional application development. Static SRAM usage is about 2.3KB (<7%) and leaves 29.7KB (92.7%) available for heap at runtime. SRAM usage at run-time can be shown with the NSHfree command.
This runtime memory usage includes the static memory usage plus all dynamic memory allocation for things like stacks and I/O buffers:
NuttShell (NSH) NuttX-6.28
nsh> free
total used free largest
Mem: 29232 5920 23312 23312
You can see that 22.8KB (71.1%) of the SRAM heap is staill available for further application development while NSH is running. |

AVR AT90USB64x and AT90USB6128x. Micropendous 3 AT90USB64x and AT90USB6128x. This port of NuttX to the Opendous Micropendous 3 board. The Micropendous3 is may be populated with an AT90USB646, 647, 1286, or 1287. I have only the AT90USB647 version for testing. This version have very limited memory resources: 64K of FLASH and 4K of SRAM. STATUS: The basic port was released in NuttX-6.5. This basic port consists only of a "Hello, World!!" example that demonstrates initialization of the OS, creation of a simple task, and serial console output. PJRC Teensy++ 2.0 AT90USB1286. This is a port of NuttX to the PJRC Teensy++ 2.0 board. This board was developed by PJRC. The Teensy++ 2.0 is based on an Atmel AT90USB1286 MCU. STATUS: The basic port was released in NuttX-6.5. This basic port consists of a "Hello, World!!" example that demonstrates initialization of the OS, creation of a simple task, and serial console output as well as a somewhat simplified NuttShell (NSH) configuration (see the NSH User Guide). An SPI driver and a USB device driver exist for the AT90USB as well as a USB mass storage configureation. However, this configuration is not fully debugged as of the NuttX-6.5 release. | |

AVR-Specific Issues. The basic AVR port is solid and biggest issue for using AVR is its tiny SRAM memory and its Harvard architecture. Because of the Harvard architecture, constant data that resides to flash is inaccessible using "normal" memory reads and writes (only SRAM data can be accessed "normally"). Special AVR instructions are available for accessing data in FLASH, but these have not been integrated into the normal, general purpose OS. Most NuttX test applications are console-oriented with lots of strings used for printf and debug output. These strings are all stored in SRAM now due to these data accessing issues and even the smallest console-oriented applications can quickly fill a 4-8K memory. So, in order for the AVR port to be useful, one of two things would need to be done:

Development Environments: 1) Linux with native Linux GNU toolchain, 2) Cygwin/MSYS with Cygwin GNU toolchain, 3) Cygwin/MSYS with Windows native toolchain, or 4) Native Windows. All testing, however, has been performed using the NuttX DIY toolchain for Linux or Cygwin is provided by the NuttX buildroot package. As a result, that toolchain is recommended. |

AV32DEV1. This port uses the www.mcuzone.com AVRDEV1 board based on the Atmel AT32UC3B0256 MCU. This port requires a special GNU avr32 toolchain available from atmel.com website. This is a windows native toolchain and so can be used only under Cygwin on Windows.
STATUS: This port is has completed all basic development, but there is more that needs to be done. All code is complete for the basic NuttX port including header files for all AT32UC3* peripherals. The untested AVR32 code was present in the 5.12 release of NuttX. Since then, the basic RTOS port has solidified: The basic, port (including the verified apps/examples/ostest configuration) was be released in NuttX-5.13. A complete port will include drivers for additional AVR32 UC3 devices -- like SPI and USB --- and will be available in a later release, time permitting. |

MC9S12NE64. Support for the MC9S12NE64 MCU and two boards are included:
Both use a GNU arm-nuttx-elf toolchain* under Linux or Cygwin. The NuttX buildroot provides a properly patched GCC 3.4.4 toolchain that is highly optimized for the m9s12x family. STATUS: Coding is complete for the MC9S12NE64 and for the NE64 Badge board. However, testing has not yet begun due to issues with BDMs, Code Warrior, and the paging in the build process. Progress is slow, but I hope to see a fully verified MC9S12NE64 port in the near future. |

PJRC 87C52 Development Board. This port uses the PJRC 87C52 development system and the SDCC toolchain under Linux or Cygwin. STATUS: This port is complete but not stable with timer interrupts enabled. There seems to be some issue when the stack pointer enters into the indirect IRAM address space during interrupt handling. This architecture has not been built in some time will likely have some compilation problems because of SDCC compiler differences. |

RGMP. RGMP stands for RTOS and GPOS on Multi-Processor. RGMP is a project for running GPOS and RTOS simultaneously on multi-processor platforms You can port your favorite RTOS to RGMP together with an unmodified Linux to form a hybrid operating system. This makes your application able to use both RTOS and GPOS features. See the RGMP Wiki for further information about RGMP. STATUS: This initial port of NuttX to RGMP was provided in NuttX-6.3. This initial RGP port provides only minimal driver support and does not use the native NuttX interrupt system. This is a great, stable starting point for anyone interest in working with NuttX under RGMP! |

PIC32MX250F128D. A port is in progress from the DTX1-4000L "Mirtoo" module from Dimitech. This module uses MicroChip PIC32MX250F128D and the Dimitech DTX1-4000L EV-kit1 V2. See the Dimitech website for further information. STATUS: The basic port is code complete. Two configurations are available: (1) An OS test configuration and a (2) configuration that support the NuttShell (NSH). The OS test configuration is fully functional and proves that we have a basically healthy NuttX port to the Mirtoo. The NSH configuration includes support for a serial console and for the SST25 serial FLASH and the PGA117 amplifier/multiplexer on board the module. The NSH configuration is set up to use the NuttX wear-leveling FLASH file system (NXFFS). The PGA117, however, is not yet fully integrated to support ADC sampling. See the NSH User Guide for further information about NSH. The first verified port to the Mirtoo module was available with the NuttX 6.20 release. |

PIC32MX440F512H. This port uses the "Advanced USB Storage Demo Board," Model DB-DP11215, from Sure Electronics. This board features the MicroChip PIC32MX440F512H. See the Sure website for further information about the DB-DP11215 board. (I believe that that the DB-DP11215 may be obsoleted now but replaced with the very similar, DB-DP11212. The DB-DP11212 board differs, I believe, only in its serial port configuration.) STATUS: This NuttX port is code complete and has considerable test testing. The port for this board was completed in NuttX 6.11, but still required a few bug fixes before it will be ready for prime time. The fully verified port first appeared in NuttX 6.13. Available configurations include the OS test and the NuttShell (NSH - see the NSH User Guide). An untested USB device-side driver is available in the source tree. A more complete port would include support of the USB OTG port and of the LCD display on this board. Those drivers are not yet available as of this writing. PIC32MX460F512L. There one two board ports using this chip: STATUS: The basic port is code complete and fully verified in NuttX 6.13. Available configurations include the OS test and the NuttShell (NSH - see the NSH User Guide). STATUS: The basic port is code complete and fully verified in NuttX 6.18. Available configurations include the OS test and the NuttShell (NSH - see the NSH User Guide). USB has not yet been fully tested but on first pass appears to be functional. |

PIC32MX795F512L. There one two board ports using this chip:
STATUS: This port was started and then shelved for some time until I received the Expansion I/O board. The basic Starter Kit (even with the Multimedia Expansion Board, MEB, DM320005)) has no serial port and most NuttX test configurations depend heavily on console output. Verified configurations for the OS test and the NuttShel (NSH) appeared in NuttX-6.16. Board support includes a verified USB (device-side) driver. Also included are a a verified Ethernet driver, a partially verified USB device controller driver, and an unverifed SPI driver. Stay tuned for updates. STATUS: Two verified configurations are available: (1) The basic OS test configuration that verfies the correctness port of NuttX, and (2) an extensive NuttShell (NSH) configuration. The NSH configuration includes: (1) Full network support, (2) Verified SPI driver, (3) SPI-based SD Card support, (4) USB device support (including configuration options for the USB mass storage device and the CDC/ACM serial class), and (5) Support for the MIO873QT2 LCD on the PIC32MX7 MMB. The PIC32MX7 MMB's touchscreen is connected directly to the MCU via ADC pins. A touchscreen driver has been developed using the PIC32's ADC capabilities and can be enabled in the NSH configuration. However, additional verification and tuning of this driver is required. Further display/touchscreen verification would require C++ support (for NxWidgets and NxWM). Since I there is no PIC32 C++ is the free version of the MPLAB C32 toolchain, further graphics development is stalled. |

Development Environment: These ports uses either: |
|
| Renesas/Hitachi SuperH. | |
|
SH-1 SH7032. This port uses the Hitachi SH-1 Low-Cost Evaluation Board (SH1_LCEVB1), US7032EVB, with a GNU ELF toolchain* under Linux or Cygwin. STATUS: This port is available as of release 0.3.18 of NuttX. The port is basically complete and many examples run correctly. However, there are remaining instabilities that make the port un-usable. The nature of these is not understood; the behavior is that certain SH-1 instructions stop working as advertised. This could be a silicon problem, some pipeline issue that is not handled properly by the gcc 3.4.5 toolchain (which has very limit SH-1 support to begin with), or perhaps with the CMON debugger. At any rate, I have exhausted all of the energy that I am willing to put into this cool old processor for the time being. |

| Renesas M16C/26. | |
|
Renesas M16C/26 Microcontroller. This port uses the Renesas SKP16C26 Starter kit and the GNU M32C toolchain. The development environment is either Linux or Cygwin under WinXP.
STATUS:
Initial source files released in nuttx-0.4.2.
At this point, the port has not been integrated; the target cannot be built
because the GNU m32c-nuttx-elf-ld: BFD (GNU Binutils) 2.19 assertion fail /home/Owner/projects/nuttx/buildroot/toolchain_build_m32c/binutils-2.19/bfd/elf32-m32c.c:482

| Zilog Z16F. | |
|
Zilog z16f Microcontroller. This port use the Zilog z16f2800100zcog development kit and the Zilog ZDS-II Windows command line tools. The development environment is either Windows native or Cygwin under Windows. STATUS: The initial release of support for the z16f was made available in NuttX version 0.3.7. |
|
| Zilog eZ80 Acclaim!. | |
|
Zilog eZ80Acclaim! Microcontroller. There are two eZ80Acclaim! ports:
Both boards are based on the eZ80F091 part and both use the Zilog ZDS-II Windows command line tools. The development environment is either Windows native or Cygwin under Windows. STATUS: Integration and testing of NuttX on the ZiLOG ez80f0910200zcog-d is complete. The first integrated version was released in NuttX version 0.4.2 (with important early bugfixes in 0.4.3 and 0.4.4). As of this writing, that port provides basic board support with a serial console, SPI, and eZ80F91 EMAC driver. |

| Zilog Z180. | |
|
P112. The P112 is a hobbyist single board computer based on a 16MHz Z80182 with up to 1MB of memory, serial, parallel and diskette IO, and realtime clock, in a 3.5-inch drive form factor.. The P112 computer originated as a commercial product of "D-X Designs Pty Ltd"[ of Australia. Dave Brooks was successfully funded through Kickstarter for and another run of P112 boards in November of 2012. In addition Terry Gulczynski makes additional P112 derivative hobbyist home brew computers.STATUS: Most of the NuttX is in port for both the Z80182 and for the P112 board. Boards from Kickstarter project will not be available, however, until the first quarter of 2013. So it will be some time before this port is verified on hardware. |
|
| Zilog Z80. | |
|
Z80 Instruction Set Simulator. This port uses the SDCC toolchain under Linux or Cygwin (verified using version 2.6.0). This port has been verified using only a Z80 instruction simulator. That simulator can be found in the NuttX GIT here. STATUS: This port is complete and stable to the extent that it can be tested using an instruction set simulator. |
|
|
XTRS: TRS-80 Model I/III/4/4P Emulator for Unix. A very similar Z80 port is available for XTRS, the TRS-80 Model I/III/4/4P Emulator for Unix. That port also uses the SDCC toolchain under Linux or Cygwin (verified using version 2.6.0). STATUS: Basically the same as for the Z80 instruction set simulator. This port was contributed by Jacques Pelletier. |
* A highly modified buildroot is available that may be used to build a NuttX-compatible ELF toolchain under Linux or Cygwin. Configurations are available in that buildroot to support ARM, Cortex-M3, avr, m68k, m68hc11, m68hc12, m9s12, blackfin, m32c, h8, and SuperH ports.
Development Environments |
Linux + GNU make + GCC/binutils for Linux
|
|
|
The is the most natural development environment for NuttX. Any version of the GCC/binutils toolchain may be used. There is a highly modified buildroot available for download from the NuttX SourceForge page. This download may be used to build a NuttX-compatible ELF toolchain under Linux or Cygwin. That toolchain will support ARM, m68k, m68hc11, m68hc12, and SuperH ports. The buildroot GIT may be accessed in the NuttX GIT. |
|
Linux + GNU make + SDCC for Linux
|
|
|
Also very usable is the Linux environment using the SDCC compiler. The SDCC compiler provides support for the 8051/2, z80, hc08, and other microcontrollers. The SDCC-based logic is less well exercised and you will likely find some compilation issues if you use parts of NuttX with SDCC that have not been well-tested. |
|
Windows with Cygwin + GNU make + GCC/binutils (custom built under Cygwin)
|
|
|
This combination works well too. It works just as well as the native Linux environment except that compilation and build times are a little longer. The custom NuttX buildroot referenced above may be build in the Cygwin environment as well. |
|
Windows with Cygwin + GNU make + SDCC (custom built under Cygwin)
|
|
|
I have never tried this combination, but it would probably work just fine. |
|
Windows with Cygwin + GNU make + Windows Native Toolchain
|
|
|
This is a tougher environment. In this case, the Windows native toolchain is unaware of the Cygwin sandbox and, instead, operates in the native Windows environment. The primary difficulties with this are:
Fortunately, this conversion is done simply using the The NuttX make system works around this limitation by copying the platform specific directories in place. These copied directories make work a little more complex, but otherwise work well.
NOTE: In this environment, it should be possible to use the NTFS
NOTE: dependencies are suppress by setting the make variable Supported Windows Native Toolchains. At present, the following Windows native toolchains are in use:
|
|
Windows Native (CMD.exe) + GNUWin32 (including GNU make) + MinGW Host GCC compiler + Windows Native Toolchain
|
Build support has been added to support building natively in a Windows console rather than in a POSIX-like environment. This build:
This capability first appeared in NuttX-6.24 and should still be considered a work in progress because: (1) it has not been verfied on all targets and tools, and (2) still lacks some of the creature-comforts of the more mature environments.
The windows native build logic initiatiated if At present, this build environment also requires:
|
Wine + GNU make + Windows Native Toolchain

|
|
I've never tried this one, but I off the following reported by an ez80 user using the ZiLOG ZDS-II Windows-native toolchain:

|
| Other Environments? | |
|
Environment Dependencies. The primary environmental dependency of NuttX are (1) GNU make, (2) bash scripting, and (3) Linux utilities (such as cat, sed, etc.). If you have other platforms that support GNU make or make utilities that are compatible with GNU make, then it is very likely that NuttX would work in that environment as well (with some porting effort). If GNU make is not supported, then some significant modification of the Make system would be required. MSYS. I have not used MSYS but what I gather from talking with NuttX users is that MSYS can be used as an alternative to Cygwin in any of the above Cygwin environments. This is not surprising since MSYS is based on an older version of Cygwin (cygwin-1.3). MSYS has been modified, however, to interoperate in the Windows environment better than Cygwin and that may be of value to some users.
MSYS, however, cannot be used with the native Windows NuttX build because it will invoke the MSYS bash shell instead of the |

6.28 2013-06-14 Gregory Nutt <gnutt@nuttx.org>
* arch/arm/src/lpc17xx/lpc17_i2c.c: Interrupts were not being
re-enabled in the I2C intialization function (2013-4-30).
* net/sendto.c: Added skeleton of implementation of send timeouts
for UDP. However, this functionality really does not make
sense, so it is disabled in the code (2013-4-30).
* drivers/mtd/mtd_partition.c: Support capability to clone one
MTD driver into several, MTD partition drivers, each of which

handling: If the NULL-packet needed flag ever gets set, then
it is not cleared and inifinite NULL packets result. This only
effects the CDC/ACM class and was the cause of the failure of
configs/stm32f3discovery/usbnsh configureation which works great
after this change (2013-5-29).
* drivers/usbdev/cdcacm.c and pl2303.c and include/nuttx/usb/cdcacm.h:
Change the default IN request buffer size from 64 to 96. This will

possible from the specified memory address. From Petteri Aimonen
(2013-6-4).
* arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_spi.c: If CONFIG_STM32_DMACAPABLE is
defined, use stm32_dmacapable() to determine if it is possible
to perform DMA from the specified address. This change is
important for the STM32 F4 which may have SPI data buffers
allocated on the stack in CCM memory which cannot support the
DMA. From Petteri Aimonen (2013-6-4).
