+  Description: I never did get networking to work on the sim target.  It tries to
+               use the tap device (/dev/net/tun) to emulate an Ethernet NIC, but I
+               never got it correctly integrated with the NuttX networking.
+  Status:      Open
+  Priority:    Low (unless you want to test networking features on the simulation).
+  
+  Description: This is an X11-based framebuffer driver that you can use exercise
+               the NuttX graphics subsystem on the simulator.  But I am not much
+               of an X11 programmer so I did not use X11 autoconfiguration stuff.
+               As a result, it builds on old X11 installations, but not on current
+               versions.
+  Status:      Open
+  Priority:    Low (unless you want to test graphics features on the simulation).
+
+  Description: Since it is not pre-emptible, you can't use round-robin scheduling
+               (no time slicing).  Currently, the timer interrupts are "faked"
+               during IDLE loop processing and, as a result, there is no task
+               pre-emption because there are no asynchrous events.  This could
+               probably be fixed if the "timer interrupt" were driver by Linux
+               signals. NOTE:  You would also have to implement irqsave() and
+               irqrestore() to block and (conditionally) unblock the signal.
