<h1>Overview</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Nuttx is a real timed embedded operating system (RTOS).
|
|
Its goals are:
|
|
<p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>A very small footprint usable in all but the tightest micro-controller environments,</li>
|
|
<li>Fully scalable from tiny (8-bit) to moderate embedded (32-bit),</li>
|
|
<li>High degree of standards compliance.</li>
|
|
<li>Totally open.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<h1>Supported Platforms</h1>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>x86 Linux Simulation</b>. Fully functional.</li>
|
|
<li>TI <b>TMS320C5471</b> (also called <b>TMS320DM180</b>).
|
|
NuttX operates on the ARM7 of this dual core processor.
|
|
This port uses the <a href="http://www.spectrumdigital.com/">Spectrum Digital</a>
|
|
evaluation board with a GNU arm-elf toolchain*.
|
|
This port is in progress and partially functional (However,
|
|
my board is dead at the moment so it will be awhile before I fix it)</li>
|
|
<li><b>8051 Microcontroller</b>.
|
|
This port uses the <a href="http://www.pjrc.com/">PJRC</a> 87C52 development system
|
|
and the <a href="http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/">SDCC</a> toolchain.
|
|
This port will require a few more weeks before it is ready for prime time.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Motorola (Freescale) MC68HC908GP32 Microcontroller</b>.
|
|
Using the Axiom CMS8GP32 development board.
|
|
This is next in the queue.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Other ports</b>.
|
|
I also have partial ports for the TI TMS320DM270 and for MIPS.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>* A highly modified <a href="http://buildroot.uclibc.org/">buildroot</a>
|
|
is available that be used to build a NuttX-compatible arm-elf toolchain.</blockquote>

<h1>Memory Footprint</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>Details to be provided</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
I have a complete build for an ARM7 target that includes most of the OS
|
|
features and a broad range of OS tests.
|
|
That builds to an executable that requires about 85Kb for .text, .data., and .bss.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I have a stripped down OS test for the 8051 target that requires only
|
|
18Kb. A substantial effort was required to get to this size
|
|
(see <a href="codesize-070301.xls">spreadsheet</a> for details).
|
|
