<p>
The goal is to provide implementations of most standard POSIX OS interfaces
to support a rich, multi-threaded development environment for deeply embedded
processors.
</p>
NON-GOALS: (1) It is not a goal to provide the rich level of OS
features like those provided with Linux.
Small footprint is more important than features.
Standard compliance is more important than small footprint.
(2) There is no MMU-based support for processes.
At present, NuttX assumes a flat address space.

<p>
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 <code>fork()</code>).
</p>
<p>
Because of this standards conformance, software developed under other
standard OSs (such as Linux) should port easily to NuttX.

<b>Look at all those files and features... How can it be a tiny OS?</b>.
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?

<b>Lots of Features -- More can be smaller!</b>

<p>
The philosophy behind that NuttX is that lots of features are great... <i>BUT</i>
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.
</p>
<p>
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 32Kb <i>total</i> memory (code and data).
On the other hand, typical, richly featured NuttX builds require more like 64Kb
(and if all of the features are used, this can push 100Kb).

<p>
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?
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Static Libraries</b>.
Because in the NuttX build processed, objects are compiled and saved into
<i>static libraries</i> (<i>archives</i>).
Then, when the file executable is linked, only the object files that are needed
are extracted from the archive and added to the final executable.
By having many, many tiny source files, you can assure that no code that you do
not execute is ever included in the link.
And by having many, tiny source files you have better granularity --
if you don't use that tiny function of even just a few lines of code, it will
not be included in the binary.
</li>
</ul>

<b>Other Tricks</b>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><br></td>
<td>
<p>
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:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Configuration Files</b>.
Before you build NuttX, you must provide a configuration file that specifies
what features you plan to use and which features you do not.
This configuration file contains a long list of settings that control
what is built into NuttX and what is not.
There are hundreds of such settings
(see the <a href="NuttxPortingGuide.html#apndxconfigs">NuttX Porting Guide</a>
for a partial list that excludes platform specific settings).
These many, many configuration options allow NuttX to be highly tuned to
meet size requirements.
The downside to all of these configuration options is that it greatly
complicates the maintenance of NuttX -- but that is my problem, not yours.
</li>
<li>
<b>Weak Symbols</b>
The GNU toolchain supports <i>weak</i> symbols and these also help to keep
the size of NuttX down.
Weak symbols prevent object files from being drawn into the link even if they
are accessed from source code.
Careful use of weak symbols is another trick for keep unused code out of the
final binary.

<p><b>nuttx-6.0 Release Notes</b>:
<p>
The 67<sup>th</sup> release of NuttX, Version 6.0, was made on March 21, 2011 and is available for download from the
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/nuttx/files/">SourceForge</a> website.
The change log associated with the release is available <a href="#currentrelease">here</a>.
Unreleased changes after this release are available in SVN.
These unreleased changes are listed <a href="#pendingchanges">here</a>.
</p>
<p>
The version number of this release was bumped from 5.19 to 6.0.
A change in the major revision number is used to reflect an incompatibility with previous versions.
In this release, the NuttX core OS functionality has been separated from NuttX application-related functionality.
These are provided as separate tarballs:
</p>
<ul>
<li><code>nuttx-6.0.tar.gz</code>, and</li>
<li><code>apps-6.0.tar.gz</code></li>
</ul>
<p>
The purpose of this separation is both to better organize and modularize the NuttX source tree,
but also to provide better support for incorporation of end-user applications with Nuttx.
</p>
<p>
The incompatibily results from the changes to the board configuration logic needed to supported the separable application.
The major changes to the configuration include:
</p>
<ul>
<li><code>CONFIG_APPS_DIR</code> - This should not, typically be set.
The default is <code>../apps</code>.
This should only be set if you have a custom, product-specific application directory in some different location.
</li>
<li><code>appconfig</code> - Each board configuration now requires a new file called <code>appconfig</code>.
As its name suggests, this file provides new configuration information needed by the logic in <code>../apps</code>.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
In addition to this major reorganization in the directory structure, this release also includes some important extensions to existing features and
some important bugfixes.
These include:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
The SLIP driver was been well debugged and significantly re-designed.
Now you can have an Ethernet connection to you board even if you have no Ethernet hardware.
How cool is that?
</li>
<li>
The QEMU i486 port is now functional.
It has also been reported to work on the <a href="http://bifferos.bizhat.com/">Bifferboard</a>.
</li>
<li>
And extensions to the uIP driver interface, and
</li>
<li>
Bug fixes to <code>fopen()</code> and STM32 GPIO configuration
</li>
<li>
</ul>
<p>

The SDCC compiler provides support for the 8051/2, z80, hc08, and other microcontrollers.

<b>Cygwin + GNU <code>make</code> + Windows Native Toolchain</b>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><br></td>
<td>
<p>
This is a tougher environment.
In this case, the Windows native toolchain is unaware of the
Cygwin <i>sandbox</i> and, instead, operates in the native Windows environment.
The primary difficulties with this are:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Paths</b>.
Full paths for the native toolchain must follow Windows standards.
For example, the path <code>/home/my\ name/nuttx/include</code> my have to be
converted to something like <code>'C:\cygwin\home\my name\nuttx\include'</code>
to be usable by the toolchain.
</li>
<p>
Fortunately, this conversion is done simply using the <code>cygpath</code> utility.
</p>
<li>
<b>Symbolic Links</b>
NuttX depends on symbolic links to install platform-specific directories in the build system.
On Linux, true symbolic links are used.
On Cygwin, emulated symbolic links are used.
Unfortunately, for native Windows applications that operate outside of the
Cygwin <i>sandbox</i>, these symbolic links cannot be used.
</li>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p><small>
NOTE: In this environment, it should be possible to use the NTFS <code>mklink</code> command to create links.
This should only require a minor modification to the build scripts (see <code>tools/winlink.sh</code> script).
</small></p>
<li>
<b>Dependencies</b>
NuttX uses the GCC compiler's <code>-M</code> option to generate make dependencies. These
dependencies are retained in files called <code>Make.deps</code> throughout the system.
For compilers other than GCC, there is no support for making dependencies in this way.
For Windows native GCC compilers, the generated dependencies are windows paths and not
directly usable in the Cygwin make. By default, dependencies are surpressed for these
compilers as well.
</li>
<p><small>
NOTE: dependencies are suppress by setting the make variable <code>MKDEPS</code> to point
to the do-nothing dependency script, <code>tools/mknulldeps.sh</code>.
Dependencies can be enabled for the Windows native GCC compilers by setting
<code>MKDEPS</code> to point to <code>$(TOPDIR)/tools/mkdeps.sh --winpaths $(TOPDIR)</code>.
</small></p>
</ul>
<p>
<b>Supported Windows Native Toolchains</b>.
At present, only the Zilog Z16F, z8Encore, and eZ80Acclaim ports use a non-GCC native Windows
toolchain(the Zilog ZDS-II toolchain).
Support for Windows native GCC toolchains (CodeSourcery and devkitARM) is currently implemented
for the NXP LPC214x, STMicro STR71x, and Luminary LMS6918 ARM ports.
(but could easily be extended to any other GCC-based platform with a small effort).

<b>Other Environments?
Windows Native <code>make</code> + Windows Native Toolchain?</b>
</td>

<tr>
<td><br></td>
<td>
<p>
<b>Environment Dependencies</b>.
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.
</p>
<p>
<b>GNUWin32</b>.
For example, with suitable make system changes, it should be possible to
use native GNU tools (such as those from
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/">GNUWin32</a>)
to build NuttX.
However, that environment has not been used as of this writing.
</p>
<p><small>
NOTE: One of the members on the <a href="http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/nuttx/">NuttX forum</a>
reported that they successful built NuttX using such a GNUWin32-based, Windows native environment.
They reported that the only necessary change was to the use the NTFS mklink command to create links
(see <code>tools/winlink.sh</code> script).

nuttx-6.0 2011-03-21 Gregory Nutt &lt;spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr&gt;
* lib/lib_fopen() -- fopen() was not returning the correct errno value
when the underlying open() failed.
* include/net/uip/uip-arch.h -- The uIP interface has been extended
slightly so that drivers can be concurrenly filling and sending
packet buffers. This capability was needed by the SLIP driver.
* drivers/net/slip.c -- Several corrections and some re-design of
of the driver.
* apps/ChangeLog.txt -- the apps/ directory now has its own ChangeLog.
* configs/vsn:
- IDLE LED blinking fix
- Added board power off function
* arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_gpio.c and stm32_internal.h -- Fixed
PullUp/Down Input Configuration.
* arch/arm/src/lpc17xx/lpc17_serial.h -- Now supports Auto-RTS and
Auto-CTS modes. This is needed to support SLIP.
* drivers/net/slip.c -- SLIP is now basically functional on the
LPC17xx with some caveats as described in the TODO list under
LPC17xx.
* arch/x86/include/i486/irq.h -- Fix irqrestore() macro... it was not
correctly re-enabling interrupts.
* arch/x86/src - Fix numerous problems with i486/QEMU context
switching. Basically, the logic was missing the cases to handle
the differing stack frames when a priority change occurs and when
no priority change occurs.
* configs/qemu-i486/ostest and nsh -- The QEMU i486 port is complete.
it now passes the OS test and supports the NuttShell (NSH).
* misc/drivers -- Created a new directory to hold non-BSD licensed
drivers that may be added into NuttX via an installation script.
* drivers/usbhost/usbhost_rtl8187.c -- A decision was made to
incorporate code taken from the Linux kernel. That changes the
licensing on this module to GPL. To avoid licensing contamination,
this driver was moved to misc/drivers/rtl8187x *prior* to adding
and of the GPL log. There is an INSTALL.sh script at the location
where the GPL driver(s) can be re-installed into the NuttX source
tree. By re-installing the driver, you agree to the GPL licsensing
and all of its implications.
* Makefile, apps/Makefile, tools/configure.sh -- add logic to copy
configs/&lt;board&gt;/&lt;config&gt;/appdir to apps/.config and to simply the
application configuration logic.
* examples/nsh and apps/nshlib - Move the core NuttShell (NSH) logic
out of the exemples directory and into the apps/directory where
it belongs.
* apps/Makefile and configs/*/appconfig - Use '=' as the delimiter
instead of '/' so that sub-directories in apps/ can be used.
* apps/vsn - Move all VSN apps to apps/vsn.
* nuttx/examples moved to apps/examples
apps-6.0 2011-03-21 Gregory Nutt &lt;spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr&gt;
* README.txt -- README cosmetics
* hello/ -- hello world minor changes
* Makefile -- Makefile cosmetics (I am slowly adding the Darjeeling JVM)
* Make.defs -- New file adds common make definitions for applications.
* hello/Makefile -- Now uses new Make.defs definitions. Added README.txt.
* apps/poweroff -- New application to turn off board power.
pascal-2.0 2009-12-21 Gregory Nutt &lt;spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr&gt;
* Updated to use standard C99 types in stdint.h and
stdbool.h. This change was necessary for compatibility
with NuttX-5.0 (any beyond).
buildroot-1.9 2011-02-10 &lt;spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr&gt;
* configs/arm926t-defconfig-4.3.3: update arm926t-defconfig-4.2.4
* configs/arm926t-defconfig-nxflat: NXFLAT-only configuration for
arm926
* toolchain/gdb/gdb.mk - Remove ncurses dependency from gdb_target target.
* toolchain/gdb/gdb.mk - Added --disable-werror to GDB configuration line.
GDB 6.8 won't build because the tarbal was released with -Werror enabled and
the build stops on the first warning.
* Add support for Freescale m9s12x using binutils 2.18 and gcc 3.3.6 and
patches available from http://www.msextra.com/tools courtesy of James
Cortina. Add configs/m9x12x-defconfig-3.3.6.

nuttx-6.1 2011-xx-xx Gregory Nutt &lt;spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr&gt;
* arch/arm/include/lpc17xx/irq.h and arch/arm/src/lpc17xx/lpc17_gpio*.c:
Fix several bugs in the GPIO interrupt logic. Submited by
Decio Renno.
* Initialization for the CONFIG_APPS_DIR is now supported during the
earlier, 'context' build phase.
* arch/arm/src/lpc17_gpioint.c: Finish coding of the LPC17xx GPIO
interrupt logic.
* net/netdev_unregister.c: Add capability to un-register a network
device.
* drivers/mmcsd/mmcsd_sdio.c: extra effort to correctly handle cases
without the SDcard (but one issue still exists in STM32)
* arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_tim.*: Added basic timer support TIM1..TIM8
with output PWMs and interrupt logic
* config/vsn/src: added basic support for Sensor Interface (GPIO and
PWM Power Output, and the sif utility program)
* fs/: Reorgnize header so that file systems can be built outside
of the nuttx source tree
* apps/namedapp/binfs.c: Create a tiny filesystem that can be used
to show the internal named apps under /bin.
* fs/fs_opendir.c: Correct an error that occurs when a file system is
mounted in the root directory. This was discovered while mounting
the named app's /bin directory.
* lib/: Move all source files into a subdirectory of lib/ named after
the header file in which the library function is prototyped.
* sched/ and lib/pthread/: Move pthread attribute-related interfaces
from sched/ to lib/pthread where they more appropriately belong.
* sched/ and lib/semaphore/: Move some semaphore-related interfaces
from sched/ to lib/pthread where they more appropriately belong.
* syscall/: The beginnings of an optional syscall kernel interface.
* tools/mksyscall.c: Add a tool that will auto-generate syscall proxies
and stubs from a comma-separated-value (CSV) data file.
* arch/arm/src/cortexm3/mpu.h: Add a header file describing the Cortex-M3
MPU registers.
* Numerous modifications to the build system. Various people have reported
build problems since the re-organization and release of NuttX-6.0. I am
unable to replicate the build problems in my environment, but the changes
have be incorporated in hope of correcting the build issues in other
environments.
* drivers/i2c/st_lis331dl.c: I2C-based driver for the LIS331DL MEMS
motion sensor. Contributed by Uros Platise.
* Makefile: The NuttX build system will now supported building NuttX as two
separately linked images: (1) a kernel-mode RTOS image, and (2) a user-
mode application image that communicates to the RTOS kernel via system
calls. A lot more still must be done.
apps-6.1 2011-xx-xx Gregory Nutt &lt;spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr&gt;
* Creation of auto-generated header files now occurs during the context
build phase.
* Added sdcard insert and eject, nsh command '?' and some code remarks
* Renamed nuttapp to namedapp
* namedapp/binfs.c -- Create a tiny filesystem that can be used
to show the internal named apps under /bin.
pascal-2.1 2011-xx-xx Gregory Nutt &lt;spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr&gt;
buildroot-1.10 2011-xx-xx &lt;spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr&gt;
* Add patch submitted by Dimiter Georgiev to work around problems in building
GDB 6.8 with versions of Cygwin &gt; 1.7.
* configs/i486-defconfig-4.3.3 - Builds an i486 cross development toolchain
using gcc 4.3.3. Why would you want such a thing? On Linux, of course,
such a thing is not needed because you can use the installed GCC to build
i486 ELF binaries. But that will not work under Cygwin! The Cygwin
toolchain (and probably MinGW), build DOS MZ format executables (i.e.,
.exe files). That is probably not usable for most NuttX targets.
Instead, you should use this i486-elf-gcc to generate true ELF binaries
under Cygwin.
* Makefile - Alter copy arguements to avoid permissions problems when
copying NuttX header files.
* toolchain/nxflat/nxflat.mk and Makefile - Fix include paths.
