64-by-32-bit divisions are prominent in the NuttX, even on 32-bit machines. Luckily, many of them use a constant divisor that allows for a much faster multiplication by the divisor's reciprocal. The compiler already performs this optimization when compiling a 32-by-32 division with a constant divisor. Unfortunately, on 32-bit machines, gcc does not optimize 64-by-32 divisions in that case, except for constant divisors that happen to be a power of 2. Let's avoid the slow path whenever the divisor is constant by manually computing the reciprocal ourselves and performing the multiplication inline. In most cases, this improves performance of 64-by-32 divisions by about two orders of magnitude compared to the __div64_32() fallback, especially on architectures lacking a native div instruction.

Apache NuttX is a real-time operating system (RTOS) with an emphasis on standards compliance and small footprint. Scalable from 8-bit to 64-bit microcontroller environments, the primary governing standards in NuttX are POSIX and ANSI standards. Additional standard APIs from Unix and other common RTOSs (such as VxWorks) are adopted for functionality not available under these standards, or for functionality that is not appropriate for deeply-embedded environments (such as fork()).
For brevity, many parts of the documentation will refer to Apache NuttX as simply NuttX.
Getting Started
First time on NuttX? Read the Getting Started guide! If you don't have a board available, NuttX has its own simulator that you can run on terminal.
Documentation
You can find the current NuttX documentation on the Documentation Page.
Alternatively, you can build the documentation yourself by following the Documentation Build Instructions.
The old NuttX documentation is still available in the Apache wiki.
Supported Boards
NuttX supports a wide variety of platforms. See the full list on the Supported Platforms page.
