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>
|-- README.txt
|-- include/
| `-- (board-specific header files)
|-- src/
| |-- Makefile
| `-- (board-specific source files)
|-- <config1-dir>
| |-- Make.defs
| |-- defconfig
| |-- appconfig*
| `-- setenv.sh
|-- <config2-dir>
| |-- Make.defs
| |-- defconfig
| |-- appconfig*
| `-- setenv.sh
...

Summary of Files
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
README.txt -- This text file provides additional information unique to
each board configuration sub-directory.
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
When this makefile fragment runs, it will be passed TOPDIR which
is the path to the root directory of the build. This makefile
fragment should include:
$(TOPDIR)/.config : Nuttx configuration
$(TOPDIR)/tools/Config.mk : Common definitions
Definitions in the Make.defs file probably depend on some of the
settings in the .config file. For example, the CFLAGS will most likely be
different if CONFIG_DEBUG=y.
The included tools/Config.mk file contains additional definitions that may
be overriden in the architecture-specific Make.defs file as necessary:
COMPILE, ASSEMBLE, ARCHIVE, CLEAN, and MKDEP macros
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
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD - Identifies the configs subdirectory and
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_VECNOTIRQ - Usually the interrupt vector number provided
to interfaces like irq_attach() and irq_detach are the same as IRQ
numbers that are provied to IRQ management functions like
up_enable_irq() and up_disable_irq(). But that is not true for all
interrupt controller implementations. For example, the PIC32MX
interrupt controller manages interrupt sources that have a many-to-one
relationship to interrupt vectors. In such cases, CONFIG_ARCH_VECNOTIRQ
must defined so that the OS logic will know not to assume it can use
a vector number to enable or disable interrupts.
CONFIG_ARCH_IRQPRIO
Define if the architecture suports prioritizaton of interrupts
and the up_prioritize_irq() API.
CONFIG_ADDRENV
The CPU supports an MMU and CPU port supports provision of address
environments for tasks (making the, perhaps, processes).
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:
CONFIG_RRLOAD_BINARY - make the rrload binary format used with
BSPs from www.ridgerun.com using the tools/mkimage.sh script.
CONFIG_INTELHEX_BINARY - make the Intel HEX binary format
used with many different loaders using the GNU objcopy program
Should not be selected if you are not using the GNU toolchain.
CONFIG_MOTOROLA_SREC - make the Motorola S-Record binary format
used with many different loaders using the GNU objcopy program
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_CXX - toolchain supports C++ and CXX, CXXFLAGS, and
COMPILEXX have been defined in the configurations Make.defs
file.
CONFIG_HAVE_CXXINITIALIZE - The platform-specific logic includes support
for initialization of static C++ instances for this architecture
and for the selected toolchain (via up_cxxinitialize()).
Building application code:
CONFIG_APPS_DIR - Identifies the directory that builds the
application to link with NuttX. Default: ../apps This symbol must be assigned
to the path to the application build directory *relative* to
the NuttX top build direcory. If you had an application
directory and the NuttX directory each in separate directory
trees like this:
build
|-nuttx
| |
| `- Makefile
`-application
|
`- Makefile
Then you would set CONFIG_APPS_DIR=../application.
The application direction must contain Makefile and this make
file must support the following targets:
- libapps$(LIBEXT) (usually libapps.a). libapps.a is a static
library ( an archive) that contains all of application object
files.
- clean. Do whatever is appropriate to clean the application
directories for a fresh build.
- distclean. Clean everthing -- auto-generated files, symbolic
links etc. -- so that the directory contents are the same as
the contents in your configuration management system.
This is only done when you change the NuttX configuration.
- depend. Make or update the application build dependencies.
When this application is invoked it will receive the setting TOPDIR like:
$(MAKE) -C $(CONFIG_APPS_DIR) TOPDIR="$(TOPDIR)" <target>
TOPDIR is the full path to the NuttX directory. It can be used, for
example, to include makefile fragments (e.g., .config or Make.defs)
or to set up include file paths.
Two-pass build options. If the 2 pass build option is selected, then these
options configure the make system build a extra link object. This link object
is assumed to be an incremental (relative) link object, but could be a static
library (archive) (some modification to this Makefile would be required if
CONFIG_PASS1_TARGET generates an archive). Pass 1 1ncremental (relative) link
objects should be put into the processor-specific source directory (where other
link objects will be created). If the pass1 obect is an archive, it could
go anywhere.
CONFIG_BUILD_2PASS - Enables the two pass build options.
When the two pass build option is enabled, the following also apply:
CONFIG_PASS1_TARGET - The name of the first pass build target. This
can be specific build target, a special build target (all, default, etc.)
or may just be left undefined.
CONFIG_PASS1_BUILDIR - The path, relative to the top NuttX build
directory to directory that contains the Makefile to build the
first pass object. The Makefile must support the following targets:
- The special target CONFIG_PASS1_TARGET (if defined)
- and the usual depend, clean, and distclean targets.
CONFIG_PASS1_OBJECT - May be used to include an extra, pass1 object
into the final link. This would probably be the object generated
from the CONFIG_PASS1_TARGET. It may be available at link time
in the arch/<architecture>/src directory.
General OS setup
CONFIG_DEBUG - enables built-in debug options
CONFIG_DEBUG_VERBOSE - enables verbose debug output
CCONFIG_SYSLOG_ENABLE - Support an interface to enable or disable debug output.
CONFIG_DEBUG_SYMBOLS - build without optimization and with
debug symbols (needed for use with a debugger).
CONFIG_DEBUG_SCHED - enable OS debug output (disabled by
default)
CONFIG_DEBUG_MM - enable memory management debug output
(disabled by default)
CONFIG_DEBUG_NET - enable network debug output (disabled
by default)
CONFIG_DEBUG_USB - enable usb debug output (disabled by
default)
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS - enable filesystem debug output (disabled
by default)
CONFIG_DEBUG_LIB - enable C library debug output (disabled
by default)
CONFIG_DEBUG_BINFMT - enable binary loader debug output (disabled
by default)
CONFIG_DEBUG_GRAPHICS - enable NX graphics debug output
(disabled by default)
CONFIG_MM_REGIONS - If the architecture includes multiple
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_MM_SMALL - Each memory allocation has a small allocation
overhead. The size of that overhead is normally determined by
the "width" of the address support by the MCU. MCUs that support
16-bit addressability have smaller overhead than devices that
support 32-bit addressability. However, there are many MCUs
that support 32-bit addressability *but* have internal SRAM
of size less than or equal to 64Kb. In this case, CONFIG_MM_SMALL
can be defined so that those MCUs will also benefit from the
smaller, 16-bit-based allocation overhead.
CONFIG_HEAP2_BASE and CONFIG_HEAP2_SIZE
Some architectures use these settings to specify the size of
a second heap region.
CONFIG_GRAN
Enable granual allocator support. Allocations will be aligned to the
granule size; allocations will be in units of the granule size.
Larger granules will give better performance and less overhead but
more losses of memory due to alignment and quantization waste.
NOTE: The current implementation also restricts the maximum
allocation size to 32 granaules. That restriction could be
eliminated with some additional coding effort.
CONFIG_GRAN_SINGLE
Select if there is only one instance of the granule allocator (i.e.,
gran_initialize will be called only once. In this case, (1) there
are a few optimizations that can can be done and (2) the GRAN_HANDLE
is not needed.
CONFIG_GRAN_INTR - Normally mutual exclusive access to granule allocator
data is assured using a semaphore. If this option is set then, instead,
mutual exclusion logic will disable interrupts. While this options is
more invasive to system performance, it will also support use of the
granule allocator from interrupt level logic.
CONFIG_DEBUG_GRAM
Just like CONFIG_DEBUG_MM, but only generates ouput from the gran
allocation logic.
CONFIG_ARCH_LOWPUTC - architecture supports low-level, boot
time console output
CONFIG_MSEC_PER_TICK - The default system timer is 100Hz
or MSEC_PER_TICK=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_SCHED_HAVE_PARENT - Remember the ID of the parent task
when a new child task is created. This support enables some
additional features (such as SIGCHLD) and modifies the behavior
of other interfaces. For example, it makes waitpid() more
standards complete by restricting the waited-for tasks to the
children of the caller. Default: disabled.
CONFIG_SCHED_CHILD_STATUS
If this option is selected, then the exit status of the child task
will be retained after the child task exits. This option should be
selected if you require knowledge of a child process' exit status.
Without this setting, wait(), waitpid() or waitid() may fail. For
example, if you do:
1) Start child task
2) Wait for exit status (using wait(), waitpid(), or waitid()).
This can fail because the child task may run to completion before
the wait begins. There is a non-standard work-around in this case:
The above sequence will work if you disable pre-emption using
sched_lock() prior to starting the child task, then re-enable pre-
emption with sched_unlock() after the wait completes. This works
because the child task is not permitted to run until the wait is in
place.
The standard solution would be to enable CONFIG_SCHED_CHILD_STATUS. In
this case the exit status of the child task is retained after the
child exits and the wait will successful obtain the child task's
exit status whether it is called before the child task exits or not.
Warning: If you enable this feature, then your application must
either (1) take responsibility for reaping the child status with wait(),
waitpid(), or waitid(), or (2) suppress retention of child status.
If you do not reap the child status, then you have a memory leak and
your system will eventually fail.
Retention of child status can be suppressed on the parent using logic like:
struct sigaction sa;
sa.sa_handler = SIG_IGN;
sa.sa_flags = SA_NOCLDWAIT;
int ret = sigaction(SIGCHLD, &sa, NULL);
CONFIG_PREALLOC_CHILDSTATUS
To prevent runaway child status allocations and to improve
allocation performance, child task exit status structures are pre-
allocated when the system boots. This setting determines the number
of child status structures that will be pre-allocated. If this
setting is not defined or if it is defined to be zero then a value
of 2*MAX_TASKS is used.
Note that there cannot be more that CONFIG_MAX_TASKS tasks in total.
However, the number of child status structures may need to be
significantly larger because this number includes the maximum number
of tasks that are running PLUS the number of tasks that have exit'ed
without having their exit status reaped (via wait(), waitid(), or
waitpid()).
Obviously, if tasks spawn children indefinitely and never have the
exit status reaped, then you may have a memory leak! If you enable
the SCHED_CHILD_STATUS feature, then your application must take
responsibility for either (1) reaping the child status with wait(),
waitpid(), or waitid() or it must (2) suppress retention of child
status. Otherwise, your system will eventually fail.
Retention of child status can be suppressed on the parent using logic like:
struct sigaction sa;
sa.sa_handler = SIG_IGN;
sa.sa_flags = SA_NOCLDWAIT;
int ret = sigaction(SIGCHLD, &sa, NULL);
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.
This implies the "normal" serial driver provides the
console unless another console device is specified
(See CONFIG_DEV_LOWCONSOLE).
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.
Priority inheritance is a strategy for addressing priority
inversion.
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. If defined, then this should be a relatively
large number because this is the total number of counts on
the total number of semaphores (like 64 or 100).
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. If defined, then this should be a relatively
small number because this the number of maximumum of waiters
on one semaphore (like 4 or 8).
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_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: 192
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: 17
CONFIG_SCHED_LPWORK. If CONFIG_SCHED_WORKQUEUE is defined, then a single
work queue is created by default. If CONFIG_SCHED_LPWORK is also defined
then an additional, lower-priority work queue will also be created. This
lower priority work queue is better suited for more extended processing
(such as file system clean-up operations)
CONFIG_SCHED_LPWORKPRIORITY - The execution priority of the lower priority
worker thread. Default: 50
CONFIG_SCHED_LPWORKPERIOD - How often the lower priority worker thread
checks for work in units of microseconds. Default: 50*1000 (50 MS).
CONFIG_SCHED_LPWORKSTACKSIZE - The stack size allocated for the lower
priority worker thread. Default: CONFIG_IDLETHREAD_STACKSIZE.
CONFIG_SCHED_WAITPID - Enables the waitpid() interface in a default,
non-standard mode (non-standard in the sense that the waited for
PID need not be child of the caller). If SCHED_HAVE_PARENT is
also defined, then this setting will modify the behavior or
waitpid() (making more spec compliant) and will enable the
waitid() and wait() interfaces as well.
CONFIG_SCHED_ATEXIT - Enables the atexit() API
CONFIG_SCHED_ATEXIT_MAX - By default if CONFIG_SCHED_ATEXIT is
selected, only a single atexit() function is supported. That number
can be increased by defined this setting to the number that you require.
CONFIG_SCHED_ONEXIT - Enables the on_exit() API
CONFIG_SCHED_ONEXIT_MAX - By default if CONFIG_SCHED_ONEXIT is selected,
only a single on_exit() function is supported. That number can be
increased by defined this setting to the number that you require.
CONFIG_USER_ENTRYPOINT - The name of the entry point for user
applications. For the example applications this is of the form 'app_main'
where 'app' is the application name. If not defined, CONFIG_USER_ENTRYPOINT
defaults to user_start.
Signal Numbers:
CONFIG_SIG_SIGUSR1 - Value of standard user signal 1 (SIGUSR1).
Default: 1
CONFIG_SIG_SIGUSR2 - Value of standard user signal 2 (SIGUSR2).
Default: 2
CONFIG_SIG_SIGALARM - Default the standard signal used with POSIX
timers (SIGALRM). Default: 3
CONFIG_SIG_SIGCHLD - The SIGCHLD signal is sent to the parent of a child
process when it exits, is interrupted (stopped), or resumes after being
interrupted. Default: 4
CONFIG_SIG_SIGCONDTIMEDOUT - This non-standard signal number is used in
the implementation of pthread_cond_timedwait(). Default 16.
CONFIG_SIG_SIGWORK - SIGWORK is a non-standard signal used to wake up
the internal NuttX worker thread. Default: 17.
Binary Loaders:
CONFIG_BINFMT_DISABLE - By default, support for loadable binary formats
is built.
This logic may be suppressed be defining this setting.
CONFIG_BINFMT_CONSTRUCTORS - Build in support for C++ constructors in
loaded modules.
CONFIG_SYMTAB_ORDEREDBYNAME - Symbol tables are order by name (rather
than value).
CONFIG_NXFLAT. Enable support for the NXFLAT binary format. This format
will support execution of NuttX binaries located in a ROMFS filesystem
(see apps/examples/nxflat).
CONFIG_ELF - Enable support for the ELF binary format. This format will
support execution of ELF binaries copied from a file system and
relocated into RAM (see apps/examples/elf).
If CONFIG_ELF is selected, then these additional options are available:
CONFIG_ELF_ALIGN_LOG2 - Align all sections to this Log2 value: 0->1,
1->2, 2->4, etc.
CONFIG_ELF_STACKSIZE - This is the default stack size that will will
be used when starting ELF binaries.
CONFIG_ELF_BUFFERSIZE - This is an I/O buffer that is used to access
the ELF file. Variable length items will need to be read (such as
symbol names). This is really just this initial size of the buffer;
it will be reallocated as necessary to hold large symbol names).
Default: 128
CONFIG_ELF_BUFFERINCR - This is an I/O buffer that is used to access
the ELF file. Variable length items will need to be read (such as
symbol names). This value specifies the size increment to use each
time the buffer is reallocated. Default: 32
CONFIG_ELF_DUMPBUFFER - Dump various ELF buffers for debug purposes.
This option requires CONFIG_DEBUG and CONFIG_DEBUG_VERBOSE.
System Logging:
CONFIG_SYSLOG enables general system logging support.
CONFIG_SYSLOG_DEVPATH - The full path to the system logging device. Default
"/dev/ramlog" (RAMLOG) or "dev/ttyS1" (character device)
At present, there are two system loggins devices available. If CONFIG_SYSLOG
is selected, then these options are also available.
CONFIG_SYSLOG_CHAR - Enable the generic character device for the SYSLOG.
A disadvantage of using the generic character device for the SYSLOG is that
it cannot handle debug output generated from interrupt level handlers.
NOTE: No more than one SYSLOG device should be configured.
CONFIG_RAMLOG - Enables the RAM logging feature. The RAM log is a circular
buffer in RAM. NOTE: No more than one SYSLOG device should be configured.
CONFIG_RAMLOG_CONSOLE - Use the RAM logging device as a system console.
If this feature is enabled (along with CONFIG_DEV_CONSOLE), then all
console output will be re-directed to a circular buffer in RAM. This
is useful, for example, if the only console is a Telnet console. Then
in that case, console output from non-Telnet threads will go to the
circular buffer and can be viewed using the NSH 'dmesg' command.
CONFIG_RAMLOG_SYSLOG - Use the RAM logging device for the syslogging
interface. If this feature is enabled (along with CONFIG_SYSLOG),
then all debug output (only) will be re-directed to the circular
buffer in RAM. This RAM log can be view from NSH using the 'dmesg'
command. NOTE: Unlike the limited, generic character driver SYSLOG
device, the RAMLOG *can* be used to generate debug output from interrupt
level handlers.
CONFIG_RAMLOG_NPOLLWAITERS - The number of threads than can be waiting
for this driver on poll(). Default: 4
If CONFIG_RAMLOG_CONSOLE or CONFIG_RAMLOG_SYSLOG is selected, then the
following may also be provided:
CONFIG_RAMLOG_CONSOLE_BUFSIZE - Size of the console RAM log. Default: 1024
Kernel build options:
CONFIG_NUTTX_KERNEL - Builds NuttX as a separately compiled kernel.
CONFIG_SYS_RESERVED - Reserved system call values for use
by architecture-specific logic.
OS setup related to on-demand paging:
CONFIG_PAGING - If set =y in your configation file, this setting will
enable the on-demand paging feature as described in
http://www.nuttx.org/NuttXDemandPaging.html.
If CONFIG_PAGING is selected, then you will probabaly need CONFIG_BUILD_2PASS to
correctly position the code and the following configuration options also apply:
CONFIG_PAGING_PAGESIZE - The size of one managed page. This must
be a value supported by the processor's memory management unit.
CONFIG_PAGING_NLOCKED - This is the number of locked pages in the
memory map. The locked address region will then be from
CONFIG_DRAM_VSTART through (CONFIG_DRAM_VSTART +
CONFIG_PAGING_PAGESIZE*CONFIG_PAGING_NLOCKED)
CONFIG_PAGING_LOCKED_PBASE and CONFIG_PAGING_LOCKED_VBASE - These
may be defined to determine the base address of the locked page
regions. If neither are defined, the logic will be set the bases
to CONFIG_DRAM_START and CONFIG_DRAM_VSTART (i.e., it assumes
that the base address of the locked region is at the beginning
of RAM).
NOTE: In some architectures, it may be necessary to take some
memory from the beginning of this region for vectors or for a
page table. In such cases, CONFIG_PAGING_LOCKED_P/VBASE should
take that into consideration to prevent overlapping the locked
memory region and the system data at the beginning of SRAM.
CONFIG_PAGING_NPPAGED - This is the number of physical pages
available to support the paged text region. This paged region
begins at (CONFIG_PAGING_LOCKED_PBASE + CONFIG_PAGING_PAGESIZE*CONFIG_PAGING_NPPAGED)
and continues until (CONFIG_PAGING_LOCKED_PBASE + CONFIG_PAGING_PAGESIZE*(CONFIG_PAGING_NLOCKED +
CONFIG_PAGING_NPPAGED)
CONFIG_PAGING_NVPAGED - This actual size of the paged text region
(in pages). This is also the number of virtual pages required to
support the entire paged region. The on-demand paging feature is
intended to support only the case where the virtual paged text
area is much larger the available physical pages. Otherwise, why
would you enable on-demand paging?
CONFIG_PAGING_NDATA - This is the number of data pages in the memory
map. The data region will extend to the end of RAM unless overridden
by a setting in the configuration file.
NOTE: In some architectures, it may be necessary to take some memory
from the end of RAM for page tables or other system usage. The
configuration settings and linker directives must be cognizant of that:
CONFIG_PAGING_NDATA should be defined to prevent the data region from
extending all the way to the end of memory.
CONFIG_PAGING_DEFPRIO - The default, minimum priority of the page fill
worker thread. The priority of the page fill work thread will be boosted
boosted dynmically so that it matches the priority of the task on behalf
of which it peforms the fill. This defines the minimum priority that
will be used. Default: 50.
CONFIG_PAGING_STACKSIZE - Defines the size of the allocated stack
for the page fill worker thread. Default: 1024.
CONFIG_PAGING_BLOCKINGFILL - The architecture specific up_fillpage()
function may be blocking or non-blocking. If defined, this setting
indicates that the up_fillpage() implementation will block until the
transfer is completed. Default: Undefined (non-blocking).
CONFIG_PAGING_WORKPERIOD - The page fill worker thread will wake periodically
even if there is no mapping to do. This selection controls that wake-up
period (in microseconds). This wake-up a failsafe that will handle any
cases where a single is lost (that would really be a bug and shouldn't
happen!) and also supports timeouts for case of non-blocking, asynchronous
fills (see CONFIG_PAGING_TIMEOUT_TICKS).
CONFIG_PAGING_TIMEOUT_TICKS - If defined, the implementation will monitor
the (asynchronous) page fill logic. If the fill takes longer than this
number if microseconds, then a fatal error will be declared.
Default: No timeouts monitored.
Some architecture-specific settings. Defaults are architecture specific.
If you don't know what you are doing, it is best to leave these undefined
and try the system defaults:
CONFIG_PAGING_VECPPAGE - This the physical address of the page in
memory to be mapped to the vector address.
CONFIG_PAGING_VECL2PADDR - This is the physical address of the L2
page table entry to use for the vector mapping.
CONFIG_PAGING_VECL2VADDR - This is the virtual address of the L2
page table entry to use for the vector mapping.
CONFIG_PAGING_BINPATH - If CONFIG_PAGING_BINPATH is defined, then it
is the full path to a file on a mounted file system that contains
a binary image of the NuttX executable. Pages will be filled by
reading from offsets into this file that correspond to virtual
fault addresses.
CONFIG_PAGING_MOUNTPT - If CONFIG_PAGING_BINPATH is defined, additional
options may be provided to control the initialization of underlying
devices. CONFIG_PAGING_MOUNTPT identifies the mountpoint to be used
if a device is mounted.
CONFIG_PAGING_MINOR - Some mount operations require a "minor" number
to identify the specific device instance. Default: 0
CONFIG_PAGING_SDSLOT - If CONFIG_PAGING_BINPATH is defined, additional
options may be provided to control the initialization of underlying
devices. CONFIG_PAGING_SDSLOT identifies the slot number of the SD
device to initialize. This must be undefined if SD is not being used.
This should be defined to be zero for the typical device that has
only a single slot (See CONFIG_MMCSD_NSLOTS). If defined,
CONFIG_PAGING_SDSLOT will instruct certain board-specific logic to
initialize the media in this SD slot.
CONFIG_PAGING_M25PX - Use the m25px.c FLASH driver. If this is selected,
then the MTD interface to the M25Px device will be used to support
paging.
CONFIG_PAGING_AT45DB - Use the at45db.c FLASH driver. If this is selected,
then the MTD interface to the Atmel AT45DB device will be used to support
paging.
CONFIG_PAGING_BINOFFSET - If CONFIG_PAGING_M25PX or is CONFIG_PAGING_AT45DB
defined then CONFIG_PAGING_BINOFFSET will be used to specify the offset
in bytes into the FLASH device where the NuttX binary image is located.
Default: 0
CONFIG_PAGING_SPIPORT - If CONFIG_PAGING_M25PX CONFIG_PAGING_AT45DB is
defined and the device has multiple SPI busses (ports), then this
configuration should be set to indicate which SPI port the device is
connected. Default: 0
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.
CONFIG_LIBC_STRERROR - strerror() is useful because it decodes 'errno'
values into a human readable strings. But it can also require
a lot of memory. If this option is selected, strerror() will still
exist in the build but it will not decode error values. This option
should be used by other logic to decide if it should use strerror() or
not. For example, the NSH application will not use strerror() if this
option is not selected; perror() will not use strerror() is this option
is not selected (see also CONFIG_NSH_STRERROR).
CONFIG_LIBC_STRERROR_SHORT - If this option is selected, then strerror()
will use a shortened string when it decodes the error. Specifically,
strerror() is simply use the string that is the common name for the
error. For example, the 'errno' value of 2 will produce the string
"No such file or directory" if CONFIG_LIBC_STRERROR_SHORT is not
defined but the string "ENOENT" if CONFIG_LIBC_STRERROR_SHORT is
defined.
CONFIG_LIBC_PERROR_STDOUT - POSIX requires that perror() provide its output
on stderr. This option may be defined, however, to provide perror() output
that is serialized with other stdout messages.
Allow for architecture optimized implementations
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_ARCH_STRNCPY, CONFIG_ARCH_STRLEN, CONFIG_ARCH_STRNLEN
CONFIG_ARCH_BZERO
If CONFIG_ARCH_MEMCPY is not selected, then you make also select Daniel
Vik's optimized implementation of memcpy():
CONFIG_MEMCPY_VIK - Select this option to use the optimized memcpy()
function by Daniel Vik. Select this option for improved performance
at the expense of increased size. See licensing information in the
top-level COPYING file. Default: n
And if CONFIG_MEMCPY_VIK is selected, the following tuning options are available:
CONFIG_MEMCPY_PRE_INC_PTRS - Use pre-increment of pointers. Default is
post increment of pointers.
CONFIG_MEMCPY_INDEXED_COPY - Copying data using array indexing. Using
this option, disables the CONFIG_MEMCPY_PRE_INC_PTRS option.
CONFIG_MEMCPY_64BIT - Compiles memcpy for architectures that suppport
64-bit operations efficiently.
If CONFIG_ARCH_MEMSET is not selected, then the following option is
also available:
CONFIG_MEMSET_OPTSPEED - Select this option to use a version of memcpy()
optimized for speed. Default: memcpy() is optimized for size.
And if CONFIG_MEMSET_OPTSPEED is selected, the following tuning option is
available:
CONFIG_MEMSET_64BIT - Compiles memset() for architectures that suppport
64-bit operations efficiently.
The architecture may provide custom versions of certain standard header
files:
CONFIG_ARCH_STDBOOL_H - The stdbool.h header file can be found at
nuttx/include/stdbool.h. However, that header includes logic to redirect
the inclusion of an architecture specific header file like:
#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_STDBOOL_H
# include <arch/stdbool.h>
#else
...
#endif
Recall that that include path, include/arch, is a symbolic link and
will refer to a version of stdbool.h at nuttx/arch/<architecture>/include/stdbool.h.
CONFIG_ARCH_STDINT_H - Similar logic exists for the stdint.h header
file can also be found at nuttx/include/stdint.h.
#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_STDBOOL_H
# include <arch/stdinit.h>
#else
...
#endif
CONFIG_ARCH_MATH_H - There is also a re-directing version of math.h in
the source tree. However, it resides out-of-the-way at include/nuttx/math.h
because it conflicts too often with the system math.h. If CONFIG_ARCH_MATH_H=y
is defined, however, the top-level makefile will copy the redirecting
math.h header file from include/nuttx/math.h to include/math.h. math.h
will then include the architecture-specific version of math.h that you
must provide at nuttx/arch/>architecture</include/math.h.
#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_MATH_H
# include <arch/math.h>
#endif
So for the architectures that define CONFIG_ARCH_MATH_H=y, include/math.h
will be the redirecting math.h header file; for the architectures that
don't select CONFIG_ARCH_MATH_H, the redirecting math.h header file will
stay out-of-the-way in include/nuttx/.
CONFIG_ARCH_FLOAT_H
If you enable the generic, built-in math library, then that math library
will expect your toolchain to provide the standard float.h header file.
The float.h header file defines the properties of your floating point
implementation. It would always be best to use your toolchain's float.h
header file but if none is avaiable, a default float.h header file will
provided if this option is selected. However, there is no assurance that
the settings in this float.h are actually correct for your platform!
CONFIG_ARCH_STDARG_H - There is also a redirecting version of stdarg.h in
the source tree as well. It also resides out-of-the-way at include/nuttx/stdarg.h.
This is because you should normally use your toolchain's stdarg.h file. But
sometimes, your toolchain's stdarg.h file may have other header file
dependencies and so may not be usable in the NuttX build environment. In
those cases, you may have to create a architecture-specific stdarg.h header
file at nuttx/arch/>architecture</include/stdarg.h
If CONFIG_ARCH_STDARG_H=y is defined, the top-level makefile will copy the
re-directing stdarg.h header file from include/nuttx/stdarg.h to
include/stdarg.h. So for the architectures that cannot use their toolchain's
stdarg.h file, they can use this alternative by defining CONFIG_ARCH_STDARG_H=y
and providing. If CONFIG_ARCH_STDARG_H, is not defined, then the stdarg.h
header file will stay out-of-the-way in include/nuttx/.
CONFIG_ARCH_ROMGETC - In Harvard architectures, data accesses and
instruction accesses occur on different busses, perhaps
concurrently. All data accesses are performed on the data bus
unless special machine instructions are used to read data
from the instruction address space. Also, in the typical
MCU, the available SRAM data memory is much smaller that the
non-volatile FLASH instruction memory. So if the application
requires many constant strings, the only practical solution may
be to store those constant strings in FLASH memory where they
can only be accessed using architecture-specific machine
instructions.
If CONFIG_ARCH_ROMGETC is defined, then the architecture logic
must export the function up_romgetc(). up_romgetc() will simply
read one byte of data from the instruction space.
If CONFIG_ARCH_ROMGETC, certain C stdio functions are effected:
(1) All format strings in printf, fprintf, sprintf, etc. are
assumed to lie in FLASH (string arguments for %s are still assumed
to reside in SRAM). And (2), the string argument to puts and fputs
is assumed to reside in FLASH. Clearly, these assumptions may have
to modified for the particular needs of your environment. There
is no "one-size-fits-all" solution for this problem.
Sizes of configurable things (0 disables)
CONFIG_MAX_TASKS - The maximum number of simultaneously
active tasks. This value must be a power of two.
CONFIG_NPTHREAD_KEYS - The number of items of thread-
specific data that can be retained
CONFIG_NFILE_DESCRIPTORS - The maximum number of file
descriptors (one for each open)
CONFIG_NFILE_STREAMS - The maximum number of streams that
can be fopen'ed
CONFIG_NAME_MAX - Maximum number of bytes in a filename (not including
terminating null). Default: 32
CONFIG_PATH_MAX - Maximum number of bytes in a pathname, including the
terminating null character. Default: MIN(256,(4*CONFIG_NAME_MAX+1))
CONFIG_STDIO_BUFFER_SIZE - Size of the buffer to allocate
on fopen. (Only if CONFIG_NFILE_STREAMS > 0)
CONFIG_STDIO_LINEBUFFER - If standard C buffered I/O is enabled
(CONFIG_STDIO_BUFFER_SIZE > 0), then this option may be added
to force automatic, line-oriented flushing the output buffer
for putc(), fputc(), putchar(), puts(), fputs(), printf(),
fprintf(), and vfprintf(). When a newline is encountered in
the output string, the output buffer will be flushed. This
(slightly) increases the NuttX footprint but supports the kind
of behavior that people expect for printf().
CONFIG_NUNGET_CHARS - Number of characters that can be
buffered by ungetc() (Only if CONFIG_NFILE_STREAMS > 0)
CONFIG_PREALLOC_MQ_MSGS - The number of pre-allocated message
structures. The system manages a pool of preallocated
message structures to minimize dynamic allocations
CONFIG_PREALLOC_IGMPGROUPS - Pre-allocated IGMP groups are used
only if needed from interrupt level group created (by the IGMP server).
Default: 4.
CONFIG_MQ_MAXMSGSIZE - Message structures are allocated with
a fixed payload size given by this settin (does not include
other message structure overhead.
CONFIG_PREALLOC_WDOGS - The number of pre-allocated watchdog
structures. The system manages a pool of preallocated
watchdog structures to minimize dynamic allocations
CONFIG_DEV_PIPE_SIZE - Size, in bytes, of the buffer to allocated
for pipe and FIFO support
Filesystem configuration
CONFIG_FS_FAT - Enable FAT filesystem support
CONFIG_FAT_LCNAMES - Enable use of the NT-style upper/lower case 8.3
file name support.
CONFIG_FAT_LFN - Enable FAT long file names. NOTE: Microsoft claims
patents on FAT long file name technology. Please read the
disclaimer in the top-level COPYING file and only enable this
feature if you understand these issues.
CONFIG_FAT_MAXFNAME - If CONFIG_FAT_LFN is defined, then the
default, maximum long file name is 255 bytes. This can eat up
a lot of memory (especially stack space). If you are willing
to live with some non-standard, short long file names, then
define this value. A good choice would be the same value as
selected for CONFIG_NAME_MAX which will limit the visibility
of longer file names anyway.
CONFIG_FS_FATTIME: Support FAT date and time. NOTE: There is not
much sense in supporting FAT date and time unless you have a
hardware RTC or other way to get the time and date.
CONFIG_FS_NXFFS: Enable NuttX FLASH file system (NXFF) support.
CONFIG_NXFFS_ERASEDSTATE: The erased state of FLASH.
This must have one of the values of 0xff or 0x00.
Default: 0xff.
CONFIG_NXFFS_PACKTHRESHOLD: When packing flash file data,
don't both with file chunks smaller than this number of data bytes.
Default: 32.
CONFIG_NXFFS_MAXNAMLEN: The maximum size of an NXFFS file name.
Default: 255.
CONFIG_NXFFS_PACKTHRESHOLD: When packing flash file data,
don't both with file chunks smaller than this number of data bytes.
Default: 32.
CONFIG_NXFFS_TAILTHRESHOLD: clean-up can either mean
packing files together toward the end of the file or, if file are
deleted at the end of the file, clean up can simply mean erasing
the end of FLASH memory so that it can be re-used again. However,
doing this can also harm the life of the FLASH part because it can
mean that the tail end of the FLASH is re-used too often. This
threshold determines if/when it is worth erased the tail end of FLASH
and making it available for re-use (and possible over-wear).
Default: 8192.
CONFIG_FS_ROMFS - Enable ROMFS filesystem support
CONFIG_NFS - Enable Network File System (NFS) client file system support.
Provided support is version 3 using UDP. In addition to common
prerequisites for mount-able file systems in general, this option
requires UDP networking support; this would include CONFIG_NETand
CONFIG_NET_UDP at a minimum.
CONFIG_FS_RAMMAP - For file systems that do not support XIP, this
option will enable a limited form of memory mapping that is
implemented by copying whole files into memory.
RTC
CONFIG_RTC - Enables general support for a hardware RTC. Specific
architectures may require other specific settings.
CONFIG_RTC_DATETIME - There are two general types of RTC: (1) A simple
battery backed counter that keeps the time when power is down, and (2)
A full date / time RTC the provides the date and time information, often
in BCD format. If CONFIG_RTC_DATETIME is selected, it specifies this
second kind of RTC. In this case, the RTC is used to "seed" the normal
NuttX timer and the NuttX system timer provides for higher resoution
time.
CONFIG_RTC_HIRES - If CONFIG_RTC_DATETIME not selected, then the simple,
battery backed counter is used. There are two different implementations
of such simple counters based on the time resolution of the counter:
The typical RTC keeps time to resolution of 1 second, usually
supporting a 32-bit time_t value. In this case, the RTC is used to
"seed" the normal NuttX timer and the NuttX timer provides for higher
resoution time. If CONFIG_RTC_HIRES is enabled in the NuttX configuration,
then the RTC provides higher resolution time and completely replaces the
system timer for purpose of date and time.
CONFIG_RTC_FREQUENCY - If CONFIG_RTC_HIRES is defined, then the frequency
of the high resolution RTC must be provided. If CONFIG_RTC_HIRES is
not defined, CONFIG_RTC_FREQUENCY is assumed to be one.
CONFIG_RTC_ALARM - Enable if the RTC hardware supports setting of an
alarm. A callback function will be executed when the alarm goes off
CAN driver
CONFIG_CAN - Enables CAN support (one or both of CONFIG_STM32_CAN1 or
CONFIG_STM32_CAN2 must also be defined)
CONFIG_CAN_EXTID - Enables support for the 29-bit extended ID. Default
Standard 11-bit IDs.
CONFIG_CAN_FIFOSIZE - The size of the circular buffer of CAN messages.
Default: 8
CONFIG_CAN_NPENDINGRTR - The size of the list of pending RTR requests.
Default: 4
CONFIG_CAN_LOOPBACK - A CAN driver may or may not support a loopback
mode for testing. If the driver does support loopback mode, the setting
will enable it. (If the driver does not, this setting will have no effect).
SPI driver
CONFIG_SPI_OWNBUS - Set if there is only one active device
on the SPI bus. No locking or SPI configuration will be performed.
It is not necessary for clients to lock, re-configure, etc..
CONFIG_SPI_EXCHANGE - Driver supports a single exchange method
(vs a recvblock() and sndblock ()methods)
SPI-based MMC/SD driver
CONFIG_MMCSD_NSLOTS - Number of MMC/SD slots supported by the
driver. Default is one.
CONFIG_MMCSD_READONLY - Provide read-only access. Default is
Read/Write
CONFIG_MMCSD_SPICLOCK - Maximum SPI clock to drive MMC/SD card.
Default is 20MHz.
SDIO/SDHC driver:
CONFIG_SDIO_DMA - SDIO driver supports DMA
CONFIG_SDIO_MUXBUS - Set this SDIO interface if the SDIO interface
or hardware resources are shared with other drivers.
CONFIG_SDIO_WIDTH_D1_ONLY - Select 1-bit transfer mode. Default:
4-bit transfer mode.
CONFIG_MMCSD_MULTIBLOCK_DISABLE - Use only the single block transfer method.
This setting is used to work around buggy SDIO drivers that cannot handle
multiple block transfers.
SDIO-based MMC/SD driver
CONFIG_FS_READAHEAD - Enable read-ahead buffering
CONFIG_FS_WRITEBUFFER - Enable write buffering
CONFIG_MMCSD_MMCSUPPORT - Enable support for MMC cards
CONFIG_MMCSD_HAVECARDDETECT - SDIO driver card detection is
100% accurate
RiT P14201 OLED driver
CONFIG_LCD_P14201 - Enable P14201 support
CONFIG_P14201_SPIMODE - Controls the SPI mode
CONFIG_P14201_FREQUENCY - Define to use a different bus frequency
CONFIG_P14201_NINTERFACES - Specifies the number of physical P14201
devices that will be supported.
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.
Nokia 6100 Configuration Settings:
CONFIG_NOKIA6100_SPIMODE - Controls the SPI mode
CONFIG_NOKIA6100_FREQUENCY - Define to use a different bus frequency
CONFIG_NOKIA6100_NINTERFACES - Specifies the number of physical Nokia
6100 devices that will be supported.
CONFIG_NOKIA6100_BPP - Device supports 8, 12, and 16 bits per pixel.
CONFIG_NOKIA6100_S1D15G10 - Selects the Epson S1D15G10 display controller
CONFIG_NOKIA6100_PCF8833 - Selects the Phillips PCF8833 display controller
CONFIG_NOKIA6100_BLINIT - Initial backlight setting
The following may need to be tuned for your hardware:
CONFIG_NOKIA6100_INVERT - Display inversion, 0 or 1, Default: 1
CONFIG_NOKIA6100_MY - Display row direction, 0 or 1, Default: 0
CONFIG_NOKIA6100_MX - Display column direction, 0 or 1, Default: 1
CONFIG_NOKIA6100_V - Display address direction, 0 or 1, Default: 0

CONFIG_NOKIA6100_RGBORD - Display RGB order, 0 or 1, Default: 0
Required LCD driver settings:
CONFIG_LCD_NOKIA6100 - Enable Nokia 6100 support
CONFIG_LCD_MAXCONTRAST - must be 63 with the Epson controller and 127 with
the Phillips controller.
CONFIG_LCD_MAXPOWER - Maximum value of backlight setting. The backlight
control is managed outside of the 6100 driver so this value has no
meaning to the driver. Board-specific logic may place restrictions on
this value.
Input Devices
CONFIG_INPUT
Enables general support for input devices
CONFIG_INPUT_TSC2007
If CONFIG_INPUT is selected, then this setting will enable building
of the TI TSC2007 touchscreen driver.
CONFIG_TSC2007_MULTIPLE
Normally only a single TI TSC2007 touchscreen is used. But if
there are multiple TSC2007 touchscreens, this setting will enable
multiple touchscreens with the same driver.
CONFIG_INPUT_STMPE811
Enables support for the STMPE811 driver (Needs CONFIG_INPUT)
CONFIG_STMPE811_SPI
Enables support for the SPI interface (not currenly supported)
CONFIG_STMPE811_I2C
Enables support for the I2C interface
CONFIG_STMPE811_MULTIPLE
Can be defined to support multiple STMPE811 devices on board.
CONFIG_STMPE811_ACTIVELOW
Interrupt is generated by an active low signal (or falling edge).
CONFIG_STMPE811_EDGE
Interrupt is generated on an edge (vs. on the active level)
CONFIG_STMPE811_NPOLLWAITERS
Maximum number of threads that can be waiting on poll() (ignored if
CONFIG_DISABLE_POLL is set).
CONFIG_STMPE811_TSC_DISABLE
Disable driver touchscreen functionality.
CONFIG_STMPE811_ADC_DISABLE
Disable driver ADC functionality.
CONFIG_STMPE811_GPIO_DISABLE
Disable driver GPIO functionlaity.
CONFIG_STMPE811_GPIOINT_DISABLE
Disable driver GPIO interrupt functionality (ignored if GPIO
functionality is disabled).
CONFIG_STMPE811_SWAPXY
Reverse the meaning of X and Y to handle different LCD orientations.
CONFIG_STMPE811_TEMP_DISABLE
Disable driver temperature sensor functionality.
CONFIG_STMPE811_REGDEBUG
Enabled very low register-level debug output. Requires CONFIG_DEBUG.
CONFIG_STMPE811_THRESHX and CONFIG_STMPE811_THRESHY
STMPE811 touchscreen data comes in a a very high rate. New touch positions
will only be reported when the X or Y data changes by these thresholds.
This trades reduces data rate for some loss in dragging accuracy. The
STMPE811 is configure for 12-bit values so the raw ranges are 0-4095. So
for example, if your display is 320x240, then THRESHX=13 and THRESHY=17
would correspond to one pixel. Default: 12
Analog Devices
CONFIG_DAC
Enables general support for Digital-to-Analog conversion devices.
CONFIG_ADC
Enables general support for Analog-to-Digital conversion devices.
CONFIG_ADC_ADS125X
Adds support for the TI ADS 125x ADC.

Networking support via uIP
CONFIG_NET - Enable or disable all network features
CONFIG_NET_NOINTS -- CONFIG_NET_NOINT indicates that uIP not called from
the interrupt level. If CONFIG_NET_NOINTS is defined, critical sections
will be managed with semaphores; Otherwise, it assumed that uIP will be
called from interrupt level handling and critical sections will be
managed by enabling and disabling interrupts.
CONFIG_NET_MULTIBUFFER - Traditionally, uIP has used a single buffer
for all incoming and outgoing traffic. If this configuration is
selected, then the driver can manage multiple I/O buffers and can,
for example, be filling one input buffer while sending another
output buffer. Or, as another example, the driver may support
queuing of concurrent input/ouput and output transfers for better
performance.
CONFIG_NET_IPv6 - Build in support for IPv6
CONFIG_NSOCKET_DESCRIPTORS - Maximum number of socket descriptors
per task/thread.
CONFIG_NET_NACTIVESOCKETS - Maximum number of concurrent socket

notification should be compiled in. Urgent data (out-of-band data)
is a rarely used TCP feature that is very seldom would be required.
CONFIG_NET_TCP - TCP support on or off
CONFIG_NET_TCP_CONNS - Maximum number of TCP connections (all tasks)
CONFIG_NET_MAX_LISTENPORTS - Maximum number of listening TCP ports (all tasks)

(may be zero to disable TCP/IP read-ahead buffering)
CONFIG_NET_TCP_RECVDELAY - Delay (in deciseconds) after a TCP/IP packet
is received. This delay may allow catching of additional packets
when TCP/IP read-ahead is disabled. Default: 0
CONFIG_NET_TCPBACKLOG - Incoming connections pend in a backlog until
accept() is called. The size of the backlog is selected when listen()
is called.
CONFIG_NET_UDP - UDP support on or off
CONFIG_NET_UDP_CHECKSUMS - UDP checksums on or off
CONFIG_NET_UDP_CONNS - The maximum amount of concurrent UDP
connections
CONFIG_NET_ICMP - Enable minimal ICMP support. Includes built-in support
for sending replies to received ECHO (ping) requests.
CONFIG_NET_ICMP_PING - Provide interfaces to support application level
support for sending ECHO (ping) requests and associating ECHO
replies.
CONFIG_NET_IGMP - Enable IGMPv2 client support.
CONFIG_PREALLOC_IGMPGROUPS - Pre-allocated IGMP groups are used
only if needed from interrupt level group created (by the IGMP server).
Default: 4.

from incoming IP packets.
CONFIG_NET_BROADCAST - Incoming UDP broadcast support
CONFIG_NET_MULTICAST - Outgoing multi-cast address support
SLIP Driver. SLIP supports point-to-point IP communications over a serial
port. The default data link layer for uIP is Ethernet. If CONFIG_NET_SLIP
is defined in the NuttX configuration file, then SLIP will be supported.
The basic differences between the SLIP and Ethernet configurations is that
when SLIP is selected:
* The link level header (that comes before the IP header) is omitted.
* All MAC address processing is suppressed.
* ARP is disabled.
If CONFIG_NET_SLIP is not selected, then Ethernet will be used (there is
no need to define anything special in the configuration file to use
Ethernet -- it is the default).
CONFIG_NET_SLIP -- Enables building of the SLIP driver. SLIP requires
at least one IP protocols selected and the following additional
network settings: CONFIG_NET_NOINTS and CONFIG_NET_MULTIBUFFER.
CONFIG_NET_BUFSIZE *must* be set to 296. Other optional configuration
settings that affect the SLIP driver: CONFIG_NET_STATISTICS.
Default: Ethernet
If SLIP is selected, then the following SLIP options are available:
CONFIG_CLIP_NINTERFACES -- Selects the number of physical SLIP
interfaces to support. Default: 1
CONFIG_SLIP_STACKSIZE -- Select the stack size of the SLIP RX and
TX tasks. Default: 2048
CONFIG_SLIP_DEFPRIO - The priority of the SLIP RX and TX tasks.
Default: 128
UIP Network Utilities
CONFIG_NET_DHCP_LIGHT - Reduces size of DHCP
CONFIG_NET_RESOLV_ENTRIES - Number of resolver entries
CONFIG_NET_RESOLV_MAXRESPONSE - This setting determines the maximum
size of response message that can be received by the DNS resolver.
The default is 96 but may need to be larger on enterprise networks
(perhaps 176).
THTTPD
CONFIG_THTTPD_PORT - THTTPD Server port number
CONFIG_THTTPD_IPADDR - Server IP address (no host name)
CONFIG_THTTPD_SERVER_ADDRESS - SERVER_ADDRESS: response
CONFIG_THTTPD_SERVER_SOFTWARE - SERVER_SOFTWARE: response
CONFIG_THTTPD_PATH - Server working directory
CONFIG_THTTPD_CGI_PATH - Path to CGI executables
CONFIG_THTTPD_CGI_PATTERN - Only CGI programs matching this
pattern will be executed. In fact, if this value is not defined
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_BYTECOUNT - Byte output limit for CGI tasks.
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_OCCASIONAL_MSEC - How often to run the occasional
cleanup job.
CONFIG_THTTPD_IDLE_READ_LIMIT_SEC - How many seconds to allow for
reading the initial request on a new connection.
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.
CONFIG_THTTPD_GENERATE_INDICES

8-bit CPU board. Typically running CP/M (tm) or a similar operating system,
it provides a Z80182 (Z-80 upgrade) CPU with up to 1MB of memory, serial,
parallel and diskette IO, and realtime clock, in a 3.5-inch drive form factor.
Powered solely from 5V, it draws 150mA (nominal: not including disk drives)
with a 16MHz CPU clock. Clock speeds up to 24.576MHz are possible."
The P112 board was last available new in 1996 by Dave Brooks. In late 2004
on the Usenet Newsgroup comp.os.cpm, talk about making another run of P112
boards was discussed. David Griffith decided to produce additional P112 kits
with Dave Brooks blessing and the assistance of others. In addition Terry
Gulczynski makes additional P112 derivative hobbyist home brew computers.
Hal Bower was very active in the mid 1990's on the P112 project and ported
the "Banked/Portable BIOS".
Dave Brooks was successfully funded through Kickstarter for and another
run of P112 boards in November of 2012.

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 ${TOPDIR}/.config
And if configs/<board-name>/<config-dir>/appconfig exists in the board
configuration directory:
Copy configs/<board-name>/<config-dir>/appconfig to <app-dir>/.config
echo "APPS_LOC=\"<app-dir>\"" >> "${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>
There is an alternative Windows batch file that can be used in the
windows native enironment like:
cd ${TOPDIR}\tools
configure.bat <board-name>\<config-dir>
See tools/README.txt for more information about these scripts.
And if configs/<board-name>/<config-dir>/appconfig exists and your
application directory is not in the standard loction (../apps), then
you should also specify the location of the application directory on the
command line like:
cd tools
./configure.sh -a <app-dir> <board-name>/<config-dir>
Building Symbol Tables
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Symbol tables are needed at several of the binfmt interfaces in order to bind
a module to the base code. These symbol tables can be tricky to create and
will probably have to be tailored for any specific application, balancing
the number of symbols and the size of the symbol table against the symbols
required by the applications.
The top-level System.map file is one good source of symbol information
(which, or course, was just generated from the top-level nuttx file
using the GNU 'nm' tool).
There are also common-separated value (CSV) values in the source try that
provide information about symbols. In particular:
nuttx/syscall/syscall.csv - Describes the NuttX RTOS interface, and
nuttx/lib/lib.csv - Describes the NuttX C library interface.
There is a tool at nuttx/tools/mksymtab that will use these CSV files as
input to generate a generic symbol table. See nuttx/tools/README.txt for
more information about using the mksymtab tool.
