When shmfs_truncate is called, it uses shmfs_alloc_object to create the physical backing for the shm file. However, the allocated physical memory returned by mm_pgalloc is not cleared when CONFIG_BUILD_KERNEL is set, which is a clear POSIX violation: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/truncate.html "If the file was previously shorter than length, its size is increased, and the extended area appears as if it were zero-filled." For FLAT and PROTECTED modes zalloc is used, so the violation affects KERNEL mode only.
Apache 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 RTOSs (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()).
For brevity, many parts of the documentation will refer to Apache NuttX as simply NuttX.
Getting Started
First time on NuttX? Read the Getting Started guide! If you don't have a board available, NuttX has its own simulator that you can run on terminal.
Documentation
You can find the current NuttX documentation on the Documentation Page.
Alternatively, you can build the documentation yourself by following the Documentation Build Instructions.
The old NuttX documentation is still available in the Apache wiki.
Supported Boards
NuttX supports a wide variety of platforms. See the full list on the Supported Platforms page.
