INSTALLATION
^^^^^^^^^^^^

Download and unpack the NuttX tarball.  If you are reading this, then you
have probably already done that.  After unpacking, you will end up with a
directory called nuttx-version (where version is the NuttX version number).
You might want to rename that directory nuttx to match the various instructions
in the documentation and some scripts in the source tree.

That nuttx build directory should reside in a path that contains no spaces
in the higher level directory names.  For example, under Cygwin, your home
directory might be formed from your first and last names like: "/home/First Last".
That will cause strange errors when the make system tries to build.

[Actually, that is probably not to difficult to fix.  Some Makefiles probably
just need some pathes within double quotes]


CONFIGURING NUTTX
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Canned" NuttX configuration files are retained in:

  configs/<board-name>/<config-dir>

Where <board-name> is the name of your development board and <config-dir>.
Configuring NuttX requires only copying three files from the <config-dir>
to the directly where you installed NuttX (TOPDIR):

  Copy configs/<board-name>/<config-dir>/Make.def to ${TOPDIR}/Make.defs
    Make.defs describes the rules needed by you tool chain to compile
    and link code.  You may need to modify this file to match the
    specific needs of your toolchain.

  Copy configs/<board-name>/<config-dir>/setenv.sh to ${TOPDIR}/setenv.sh
    setenv.sh is an optional convenience file that I use to set
    the PATH variable to the toolchain binaries.  You may chose to
    use setenv.sh or not.  If you use it, then it may need to be
    modified to include the path to your toolchain binaries.

  Copy configs/<board-name>/<config-dir>/defconfig to ${TOPDIR}/.config
    The defconfig file holds the actual build configuration.  This
    file is included by all other make files to determine what is
    included in the build and what is not.  This file is also used
    to generate a C configuration header at include/nuttx/config.h.

General information about configuring NuttX can be found in:

  ${TOPDIR}/configs/README.txt
  ${TOPDIR}/configs/<board-name>/README.txt

There is a configuration script in the tools/ directory that makes this
easier.  It is used as follows:

  cd ${TOPDIR}/tools
  ./configure.sh <board-name>/<config-dir>

BUILDING NUTTX
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

NuttX builds in-place in the source tree.  You do not need to create
any special build directories.  Assuming that your Make.defs is setup
properly for your tool chain, the following steps are all that are
required to build NuttX:

  cd ${TOPDIR}
  make

At least one configuration (eagle100) requires additional command line
arguments on the make command.  Read ${TOPDIR}/configs/<board-name>/README.txt
to see if that applies to your target.

DOCUMENTATION
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Additional information can be found in the Documentation/ directory and
also in README files that are scattered throughout the source tree.  The
documentation is in HTML and can be access by loading the following file
into your Web browser:

  Documentation/index.html

NuttX documentation is also available online at http://www.nuttx.org.
