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.

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 functionaly 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.

NuttX 0.3.8 is the 7th release containing the integration of a network
|
|
subsystem and the uIP TCP/IP, UDP, and ICMP stacks based on
|
|
<a href="http://www.sics.se/~adam/uip/index.php/Main_Page">uIP</a>
|
|
into NuttX.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This release contains on a few changes.
|
|
The primary purpose of this release is to synchronize with the release
|
|
of the pascal-0.1.0 add-on package.
|
|
This release of NuttX includes the following changes:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Fixes for use with SDCC compiler, <li>
|
|
<li>Added a simulated z80 target (arch/z80), <li>
|
|
<li>Fix deadlock errors when using stdio but with no buffering, and</li>
|
|
<li>Add support for the add-on Pascal P-Code interpreter (pcode/)
|
|
(see the pascal-0.1.0 package)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Pascal add-on it integrated but has so far been tested very little;
|
|
it is certainly at an early, pre-alpha release leve.
|
|
The baseline functionality of NuttX (including recently added network)
|
|
functionality continues to mature and remains at post-beta or production level.
|
|
Extensive testing has been done for the ARM architecture using the GCC
|
|
compiler/toolchain.
|
|
Other architectures and the SDCC toolchain are also supported but not as
|
|
well exercised.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The current release were verified only on the simulated Z80 and and host
|
|
simulation targets. As usual, any feedback about bugs or suggestions
|
|
for improvement would be greatly appreciated.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>NOTE</b>:
|
|
There was an error in the initial 0.3.6 release that prevented
|
|
a successful build <i>unless</i> the Pascal add-on was present. The
|
|
tarball was patched to include the fix. Make sure that you download
|
|
the nuttx-0.3.6.1.tar.gz version to avoid this problem.

There seems to be some issue when the stack pointer enters into the indirect IRAM

This architecture has not been built in some time will likely have some compilation

Also very usable is the Linux environment using the

The SDCC compiler provides support for the 8051/2, z80, hc08, and other microcontrollers.
|
|
The SDCC-based logic is less well exercised and you will likely find some compilation

issues if you use parts of NuttX with SDCC that have not been well-tested.

This combination works well too.

It works just as well as the native Linux environment except

that compilation and build times are a little longer.

This is a tougher environment.
|
|
In this case, the Windows native toolchain is unaware of the the
|
|
Cygwin <i>sandbox</i> and, instead, operates in the native Windows environment.
|
|
The primary difficulties with this are:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Pathes</b>.
|
|
Full pathes 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>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
At present, on the Zilog Z16F port uses a native Windows toolchain
|
|
(the Zilog ZDS-II toolchain).

The primary environmental dependency of NuttX is GNU make.
|
|
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.
|
|
If GNU make is not supported, then some significant modification
|
|
of the Make system would be required.
