Board-Specific Configurations
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The NuttX configuration consists of:
o Processor architecture specific files. These are the files contained
in the arch/<arch-name>/ directory.
o Chip/SoC specific files. Each processor processor architecture
is embedded in chip or System-on-a-Chip (SoC) architecture. The
full chip architecture includes the processor architecture plus
chip-specific interrupt logic, general purpose I/O (GIO) logic, and
specialized, internal peripherals (such as UARTs, USB, etc.).
These chip-specific files are contained within chip-specific
sub-directories in the arch/<arch-name>/ directory and are selected
via the CONFIG_ARCH_name selection
o Board specific files. In order to be usable, the chip must be
contained in a board environment. The board configuration defines
additional properties of the board including such things as
peripheral LEDs, external peripherals (such as network, USB, etc.).
These board-specific configuration files can be found in the
configs/<board-name>/ sub-directories and are discussed in this
README. Additional configuration information maybe available in
board-specific configs/<board-name>/README.txt files.
The configs/ subdirectory contains configuration data for each board. These
board-specific configurations plus the architecture-specific configurations in
the arch/ subdirectory completely define a customized port of NuttX.
Directory Structure
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The configs directory contains board specific configurationlogic. Each
board must provide a subdirectory <board-name> under configs/ with the
following characteristics:
<board-name>
|-- include/
| `-- (board-specific header files)
|-- src/
| |-- Makefile
| `-- (board-specific source files)
|-- <config1-dir>
| |-- Make.defs
| |-- defconfig
| `-- setenv.sh
|-- <config2-dir>
| |-- Make.defs
| |-- defconfig
| `-- setenv.sh
...
Summary of Files
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
include/ -- This directory contains board specific header files. This
directory will be linked as include/arch/board at configuration time and
can be included via '#include <arch/board/header.h>'. These header file
can only be included by files in arch/<arch-name>include/ and
arch/<arch-name>/src
src/ -- This directory contains board specific drivers. This
directory will be linked as arch/<arch-name>/src/board at configuration
time and will be integrated into the build system.
src/Makefile -- This makefile will be invoked to build the board specific
drivers. It must support the following targets: libext$(LIBEXT), clean,
and distclean.
A board may have various different configurations using these common source
files. Each board configuration is described by three files: Make.defs,
defconfig, and setenv.sh. Typically, each set of configuration files is
retained in a separate configuration sub-directory (<config1-dir>,
<config2-dir>, .. in the above diagram).
Make.defs -- This makefile fragment provides architecture and
tool-specific build options. It will be included by all other
makefiles in the build (once it is installed). This make fragment
should define:
Tools: CC, LD, AR, NM, OBJCOPY, OBJDUMP
Tool options: CFLAGS, LDFLAGS
COMPILE, ASSEMBLE, ARCHIVE, CLEAN, and MKDEP macros
When this makefile fragment runs, it will be passed TOPDIR which
is the path to the root directory of the build. This makefile
fragment may include ${TOPDIR}/.config to perform configuration
specific settings. For example, the CFLAGS will most likely be
different if CONFIG_DEBUG=y.
defconfig -- This is a configuration file similar to the Linux
configuration file. In contains variable/value pairs like:
CONFIG_VARIABLE=value
This configuration file will be used at build time:
(1) as a makefile fragment included in other makefiles, and
(2) to generate include/nuttx/config.h which is included by
most C files in the system.
The following variables are recognized by the build (you may
also include architecture/board-specific settings).
Architecture selection:
CONFIG_ARCH - Identifies the arch/ subdirectory
CONFIG_ARCH_name - For use in C code
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP - Identifies the arch/*/chip subdirectory
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_name - For use in C code

hence, the board that supports the particular chip or SoC.
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_name - For use in C code
CONFIG_ENDIAN_BIG - define if big endian (default is little
endian)
CONFIG_ARCH_NOINTC - define if the architecture does not
support an interrupt controller or otherwise cannot support
APIs like up_enable_irq() and up_disable_irq().
CONFIG_ARCH_IRQPRIO
Define if the architecture suports prioritizaton of interrupts
and the up_prioritize_irq() API.
Some architectures require a description of the RAM configuration:
CONFIG_DRAM_SIZE - Describes the installed DRAM.
CONFIG_DRAM_START - The start address of DRAM (physical)
CONFIG_DRAM_VSTART - The start address of DRAM (virtual)
General build options

Should not be selected if you are not using the GNU toolchain.
CONFIG_RAW_BINARY - make a raw binary format file used with many
different loaders using the GNU objcopy program. This option
should not be selected if you are not using the GNU toolchain.
CONFIG_HAVE_LIBM - toolchain supports libm.a
CONFIG_HAVE_CXX - toolchain supports C++ and CXX, CXXFLAGS, and
COMPILEXX have been defined in the configuratins Make.defs
file.
General OS setup
CONFIG_EXAMPLE - identifies the subdirectory in examples
that will be used in the build
CONFIG_DEBUG - enables built-in debug options

(disabled by default)
CONFIG_ARCH_LOWPUTC - architecture supports low-level, boot
time console output

regions of memory to allocate from, this specifies the
number of memory regions that the memory manager must
handle and enables the API mm_addregion(start, end);
CONFIG_TICKS_PER_MSEC - The default system timer is 100Hz
or TICKS_PER_MSEC=10. This setting may be defined to
inform NuttX that the processor hardware is providing
system timer interrupts at some interrupt interval other
than 10 msec.
CONFIG_RR_INTERVAL - The round robin timeslice will be set
this number of milliseconds; Round robin scheduling can
be disabled by setting this value to zero.
CONFIG_SCHED_INSTRUMENTATION - enables instrumentation in
scheduler to monitor system performance
CONFIG_TASK_NAME_SIZE - Specifies that maximum size of a
task name to save in the TCB. Useful if scheduler
instrumentation is selected. Set to zero to disable.
CONFIG_START_YEAR, CONFIG_START_MONTH, CONFIG_START_DAY -
Used to initialize the internal time logic.
CONFIG_GREGORIAN_TIME - Enables Gregorian time conversions.
You would only need this if you are concerned about accurate
time conversions in the past or in the distant future.
CONFIG_JULIAN_TIME - Enables Julian time conversions. You
would only need this if you are concerned about accurate
time conversion in the distand past. You must also define
CONFIG_GREGORIAN_TIME in order to use Julian time.
CONFIG_DEV_CONSOLE - Set if architecture-specific logic
provides /dev/console. Enables stdout, stderr, stdin.
CONFIG_MUTEX_TYPES - Set to enable support for recursive and
errorcheck mutexes. Enables pthread_mutexattr_settype().
CONFIG_PRIORITY_INHERITANCE - Set to enable support for
priority inheritance on mutexes and semaphores.
CONFIG_SEM_PREALLOCHOLDERS: This setting is only used if priority
inheritance is enabled. It defines the maximum number of
different threads (minus one) that can take counts on a
semaphore with priority inheritance support. This may be
set to zero if priority inheritance is disabled OR if you
are only using semaphores as mutexes (only one holder) OR
if no more than two threads participate using a counting
semaphore.
CONFIG_SEM_NNESTPRIO. If priority inheritance is enabled,
then this setting is the maximum number of higher priority
threads (minus 1) than can be waiting for another thread
to release a count on a semaphore. This value may be set
to zero if no more than one thread is expected to wait for
a semaphore.
CONFIG_FDCLONE_DISABLE. Disable cloning of all file descriptors
by task_create() when a new task is started. If set, all
files/drivers will appear to be closed in the new task.
CONFIG_FDCLONE_STDIO. Disable cloning of all but the first
three file descriptors (stdin, stdout, stderr) by task_create()
when a new task is started. If set, all files/drivers will
appear to be closed in the new task except for stdin, stdout,
and stderr.
CONFIG_SDCLONE_DISABLE. Disable cloning of all socket
desciptors by task_create() when a new task is started. If
set, all sockets will appear to be closed in the new task.
CONFIG_NXFLAT. Enable support for the NXFLAT binary format.
This format will support execution of NuttX binaries located
in a ROMFS filesystem (see examples/nxflat).
CONFIG_SCHED_WORKQUEUE. Create a dedicated "worker" thread to
handle delayed processing from interrupt handlers. This feature
is required for some drivers but, if there are not complaints,
can be safely disabled. The worker thread also performs
garbage collection -- completing any delayed memory deallocations
from interrupt handlers. If the worker thread is disabled,
then that clean will be performed by the IDLE thread instead
(which runs at the lowest of priority and may not be appropriate
if memory reclamation is of high priority). If CONFIG_SCHED_WORKQUEUE
is enabled, then the following options can also be used:
CONFIG_SCHED_WORKPRIORITY - The execution priority of the worker
thread. Default: 50
CONFIG_SCHED_WORKPERIOD - How often the worker thread checks for
work in units of microseconds. Default: 50*1000 (50 MS).
CONFIG_SCHED_WORKSTACKSIZE - The stack size allocated for the worker
thread. Default: CONFIG_IDLETHREAD_STACKSIZE.
CONFIG_SIG_SIGWORK - The signal number that will be used to wake-up
the worker thread. Default: 4
The following can be used to disable categories of APIs supported
by the OS. If the compiler supports weak functions, then it
should not be necessary to disable functions unless you want to
restrict usage of those APIs.
There are certain dependency relationships in these features.
o mq_notify logic depends on signals to awaken tasks
waiting for queues to become full or empty.
o pthread_condtimedwait() depends on signals to wake
up waiting tasks.
CONFIG_DISABLE_CLOCK, CONFIG_DISABLE_POSIX_TIMERS, CONFIG_DISABLE_PTHREAD.
CONFIG_DISABLE_SIGNALS, CONFIG_DISABLE_MQUEUE, CONFIG_DISABLE_MOUNTPOUNT,
CONFIG_DISABLE_ENVIRON, CONFIG_DISABLE_POLL
Misc libc settings
CONFIG_NOPRINTF_FIELDWIDTH - sprintf-related logic is a
little smaller if we do not support fieldwidthes
CONFIG_LIBC_FLOATINGPOINT - By default, floating point
support in printf, sscanf, etc. is disabled.

The architecture can provide optimized versions of the
following to improve system performance
CONFIG_ARCH_MEMCPY, CONFIG_ARCH_MEMCMP, CONFIG_ARCH_MEMMOVE
CONFIG_ARCH_MEMSET, CONFIG_ARCH_STRCMP, CONFIG_ARCH_STRCPY

CONFIG_P14201_FRAMEBUFFER - If defined, accesses will be performed
using an in-memory copy of the OLEDs GDDRAM. This cost of this
buffer is 128 * 96 / 2 = 6Kb. If this is defined, then the driver
will be fully functional. If not, then it will have the following
limitations:
- Reading graphics memory cannot be supported, and
- All pixel writes must be aligned to byte boundaries.
The latter limitation effectively reduces the 128x96 disply to 64x96.

then no CGI logic will be built.
CONFIG_THTTPD_CGI_PRIORITY - Provides the priority of CGI child tasks
CONFIG_THTTPD_CGI_STACKSIZE - Provides the initial stack size of
CGI child task (will be overridden by the stack size in the NXFLAT
header)

CONFIG_THTTPD_CGI_TIMELIMIT - How many seconds to allow CGI programs
to run before killing them.
CONFIG_THTTPD_CHARSET- The default character set name to use with
text MIME types.
CONFIG_THTTPD_IOBUFFERSIZE -
CONFIG_THTTPD_INDEX_NAMES - A list of index filenames to check. The
files are searched for in this order.
CONFIG_AUTH_FILE - The file to use for authentication. If this is
defined then thttpd checks for this file in the local directory
before every fetch. If the file exists then authentication is done,
otherwise the fetch proceeds as usual. If you leave this undefined
then thttpd will not implement authentication at all and will not
check for auth files, which saves a bit of CPU time. A typical
value is ".htpasswd"
CONFIG_THTTPD_LISTEN_BACKLOG - The listen() backlog queue length.
CONFIG_THTTPD_LINGER_MSEC - How many milliseconds to leave a connection
open while doing a lingering close.

CONFIG_THTTPD_IDLE_SEND_LIMIT_SEC - How many seconds before an
idle connection gets closed.
CONFIG_THTTPD_TILDE_MAP1 and CONFIG_THTTPD_TILDE_MAP2 - Tilde mapping.
Many URLs use ~username to indicate a user's home directory. thttpd
provides two options for mapping this construct to an actual filename.
1) Map ~username to <prefix>/username. This is the recommended choice.
Each user gets a subdirectory in the main web tree, and the tilde
construct points there. The prefix could be something like "users",
or it could be empty.
2) Map ~username to <user's homedir>/<postfix>. The postfix would be
the name of a subdirectory off of the user's actual home dir,
something like "public_html".
You can also leave both options undefined, and thttpd will not do
anything special about tildes. Enabling both options is an error.
Typical values, if they're defined, are "users" for
CONFIG_THTTPD_TILDE_MAP1 and "public_html"forCONFIG_THTTPD_TILDE_MAP2.

nx_eventhandler() will never return.
CONFIG_NX_MXSERVERMSGS and CONFIG_NX_MXCLIENTMSGS
Specifies the maximum number of messages that can fit in
the message queues. No additional resources are allocated, but

(work is stalled until I devote time to the Micromint Eagle-100)
configs/ntosd-dm320
This port uses the Neuros OSD with a GNU arm-elf toolchain*:
see http://wiki.neurostechnology.com/index.php/Developer_Welcome .
NuttX operates on the ARM9EJS of this dual core processor.
STATUS: This port is code complete, verified, and included in the
NuttX 0.2.1 release.
configs/olimex-lpc2378
This port uses the Olimex Olimex-lpc2378 board arm-elf toolchain* under
Linux or Cygwin. STATUS: ostest and NSH configurations available.
configs/olimex-strp711
This port uses the Olimex STR-P711 board arm-elf toolchain* under Linux or Cygwin.
See the http://www.olimex.com/dev/str-p711.html" for futher information.
STATUS: Coding for the basic port -- serial console and system timer -- is complete
but untested to problems I am having using OpenOCD with a wiggler clone JTAG.
configs/pjrc-8051
8051 Microcontroller. This port uses the PJRC 87C52 development system
and the SDCC toolchain. This port is not quite ready for prime time.
configs/sim
A user-mode port of NuttX to the x86 Linux platform is available.
The purpose of this port is primarily to support OS feature development.
This port does not support interrupts or a real timer (and hence no
round robin scheduler) Otherwise, it is complete.
NOTE: This target will not run on Cygwin probably for many reasons but
first off because it uses some of the same symbols as does cygwin.dll.
configs/skp16c26
Renesas M16C processor on the Renesas SKP16C26 StarterKit. This port
uses the GNU m32c toolchain.
configs/stm3210e-evel
STMicrco STM3210E-EVAL development board based on the STMicro STM32F103ZET6
microcontroller (ARM Cortex-M3). This port uses the GNU Cortex-M3
toolchain.
configs/us7032evb1
This is a port of the Hitachi SH-1 on the Hitachi SH-1/US7032EVB1 board.
STATUS: Work has just began on this port.
configs/xtrs
TRS80 Model 3. This port uses a vintage computer based on the Z80.
An emulator for this computer is available to run TRS80 programs on a
linux platform (http://www.tim-mann.org/xtrs.html).
configs/z16f2800100zcog
z16f Microcontroller. This port use the Zilog z16f2800100zcog
development kit and the Zilog ZDS-II Windows command line tools. The
development environment is Cygwin under WinXP.
configs/z80sim
z80 Microcontroller. This port uses a Z80 instruction set simulator.
That simulator can be found in the NuttX CVS at
http://nuttx.cvs.sourceforge.net/nuttx/misc/sims/z80sim.
This port also uses the SDCC toolchain (http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/")
(verified with version 2.6.0).
configs/z8encore000zco
z8Encore! Microcontroller. This port use the Zilog z8encore000zco
development kit, Z8F6403 part, and the Zilog ZDS-II Windows command line
tools. The development environment is Cygwin under WinXP.
configs/z8f64200100kit
z8Encore! Microcontroller. This port use the Zilog z8f64200100kit
development kit, Z8F6423 part, and the Zilog ZDS-II Windows command line
tools. The development environment is Cygwin under WinXP.
Other ports for the for the TI TMS320DM270, M683222 and for MIPS are in various
states of progress
Configuring NuttX
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Configuring NuttX requires only copying
configs/<board-name>/<config-dir>/Make.def to ${TOPDIR}/Make.defs
configs/<board-name>/<config-dir>/setenv.sh to ${TOPDIR}/setenv.sh
configs/<board-name>/<config-dir>/defconfig to ${TOPDIR}/.config
tools/configure.sh
There is a script that automates these steps. The following steps will
accomplish the same configuration:
cd tools
./configure.sh <board-name>/<config-dir>
