<b>Goals</b>.
Nuttx is a real timed embedded operating system (RTOS).

<p>
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 level of OS features like those provided by Linux.
In order to work with smaller MCUs, small footprint must be more important than an extensive feature set.
But standard compliance is more important than small footprint.
Surely a smaller RTOS could be produced by ignoring standards.
Think of NuttX is a tiny Linux work-alike with a much reduced feature set.
(2) There is no MMU-based support for processes.
At present, NuttX assumes a flat address space.

<p>
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 functionality 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.

<b>Look at all those files and features... How can it be a tiny OS?</b>.
The NuttX feature list (above) is fairly long and if you look at the NuttX
source tree, you will see that there are hundreds of source files comprising
NuttX. How can NuttX be a tiny OS with all of that?

<p>
The philosophy behind that NuttX is that lots of features are great... <i>BUT</i>
also that if you don't use those features, then you should not have to pay a penalty
for the unused features.
And, with NuttX, you don't! If you don't use a feature, it will not
be included in the final executable binary.
You only have to pay the penalty of increased footprint for the features
that you actually use.
</p>
<p>
Using a variety of technologies, NuttX can scale from the very tiny to
the moderate-size system. I have executed NuttX with some simple applications
in as little as 32Kb <i>total</i> memory (code and data).
On the other hand, typical, richly featured NuttX builds require more like 64Kb
(and if all of the features are used, this can push 100Kb).

<p>
One may be intimidated by the size NuttX source tree. There are hundreds of source files!
How can that be a tiny OS?
Actually, the large number of files is one of the tricks to keep NuttX small and
as scalable as possible.
Most files contain only a single function.
Sometimes just one tiny function with only a few lines of code.
Why?
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Static Libraries</b>.
Because in the NuttX build processed, objects are compiled and saved into
<i>static libraries</i> (<i>archives</i>).
Then, when the file executable is linked, only the object files that are needed
are extracted from the archive and added to the final executable.
By having many, many tiny source files, you can assure that no code that you do
not execute is ever included in the link.
And by having many, tiny source files you have better granularity --
if you don't use that tiny function of even just a few lines of code, it will
not be included in the binary.

<b>Other Tricks</b>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><br></td>
<td>
<p>
As mentioned above, the use of many, tiny source files and linking from static
libraries keeps the size of NuttX down.
Other tricks used in NuttX include:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Configuration Files</b>.
Before you build NuttX, you must provide a configuration file that specifies
what features you plan to use and which features you do not.
This configuration file contains a long list of settings that control
what is built into NuttX and what is not.
There are hundreds of such settings
(see the <a href="NuttxPortingGuide.html#apndxconfigs">NuttX Porting Guide</a>
for a partial list that excludes platform specific settings).
These many, many configuration options allow NuttX to be highly tuned to
meet size requirements.
The downside to all of these configuration options is that it greatly
complicates the maintenance of NuttX -- but that is my problem, not yours.
</li>
<li>
<b>Weak Symbols</b>
The GNU toolchain supports <i>weak</i> symbols and these also help to keep
the size of NuttX down.
Weak symbols prevent object files from being drawn into the link even if they
are accessed from source code.
Careful use of weak symbols is another trick for keep unused code out of the
final binary.

that appear in the NuttX 5.6 release.
This port has been verified using the NuttX OS test, USB serial and mass storage
tests and includes a working implementation of the NuttShell (<a href="NuttShell.html">NSH</a>).
</p>
<p>
Support for <a href="NuttXDemandPaging.html">on-demand paging</a> has been developed for the EA3131.

Support has added for the Embedded Artists EA3152 board in NuttX-6.11.
</p>
<ul>
<p>
<b>STATUS:</b>
Basic support is in place for both the LPC3152 MCU and the EA3152 board.
Verification of the port was deferred due to tool issues
However, because of the high degree of compatibility between the LPC313x and LPC315x family, it
is very likely that the support is in place (or at least very close).
At this point, verification of the EA3152 port has been overcome by events and
may never happen.
However, the port is available for anyone who may want to use it.

All use a GNU arm-elf or arm-eabi toolchain* under either Linux or Cygwin (with native Windows GNU tools or Cygwin-based GNU tools).
</p>
<ul>
<p>
<b>STATUS:</b>
The following summarizes the features that has been developed and verified on individual LPC17xx-based boards.
These features should, however, be common and available for all LPC17xx-based boards.
</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><b>Nucleus2G LPC1768</b></p>
<ul>
<li>
Some initial files for the LPC17xx family were released in NuttX 5.6, but
</li>
<li>
The first functional release for the NXP LPC1768/Nucleus2G occured with NuttX 5.7 with
Some additional enhancements through NuttX-5.9.
</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
That initial, 5.6, basic release included <i>timer</i> interrupts and a <i>serial console</i> and was
verified using the NuttX OS test (<code>apps/examples/ostest</code>).
Configurations available include include a verified NuttShell (NSH) configuration
(see the <a href="http://www.nuttx.org/NuttShell.html">NSH User Guide</a>).
The NSH configuration supports the Nucleus2G's microSD slot and additional configurations
are available to exercise the the USB serial and USB mass storage devices.
However, due to some technical reasons, neither the SPI nor the USB device drivers are fully verified.
(Although they have since been verfiied on other platforms; this needs to be revisited on the Nucleus2G).
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b>mbed LPC1768</b></p>
<ul>
<li>
Support for the mbed board was contributed by Dave Marples and released in NuttX-5.11.
</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
This port includes a NuttX OS test configuration (see <code>apps/examples/ostest</code>).
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b>Olimex LPC1766-STK</b></p>
<ul>
<li>
Support for that Olimex-LPC1766-STK board was added to NuttX 5.13.
</li>
<li>
The NuttX-5.14 release extended that support with an <i>Ethernet driver</i>.
</li>
<li>
The NuttX-5.15 release further extended the support with a functional <i>USB device driver</i> and <i>SPI-based micro-SD</i>.
</li>
<li>
The NuttX-5.16 release added a functional <i>USB host controller driver</i> and <i>USB host mass storage class driver</i>.
</li>
<li>
The NuttX-5.17 released added support for low-speed USB devicers, interrupt endpoints, and a <i>USB host HID keyboard class driver</i>.
</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
Verified configurations are now available for the NuttX OS test,
for the NuttShell with networking and microSD support(NSH, see the <a href="ttp://www.nuttx.org/NuttShell.html">NSH User Guide</a>),
for the NuttX network test, for the <a href="http://acme.com/software/thttpd">THTTPD</a> webserver,
for USB serial deive and USB storage devices examples, and for the USB host HID keyboard driver.
Support for the USB host mass storage device can optionally be configured for the NSH example.
A driver for the <i>Nokia 6100 LCD</i> and an NX graphics configuration for the Olimex LPC1766-STK have been added.
However, neither the LCD driver nor the NX configuration have been verified as of the the NuttX-5.17 release.
</p>

<b>STATUS:</b>
The basic port is complete.
The OS test configuration and the basic NSH configurations are present and fully verified.
This includes verified support for: SYSTICK system time, pin and GPIO configuration, and a serial console.
</p>
<p>
Several drivers have been coped from the related LPC17xx port but require integration into the LPC43xx: ADC, DAC, GPDMA, I2C, SPI, and SSP.
The registers for these blocks are the same in both the LPC43xx and the LPC17xx and they should integrate into the LPC43xx very easily by simply adapting the clocking and pin configuration logic.
</p>
<p>
Other LPC17xx drivers were not brought into the LPC43xx port because these peripherals have been completely redesigned: CAN, Ethernet, USB device, and USB host.
</p>
<p>
So then there is no support for the following LPC43xx peripherals: SD/MMC, EMC, USB0,USB1, Ethernet, LCD, SCT, Timers 0-3, MCPWM, QEI, Alarm timer, WWDT, RTC, Event monitor, and CAN.
</p>
<p>
Some of these can be leveraged from other MCUs that appear to support the same peripheral IP:
<ul>
<li>
USB0 appears to be the same as the USB OTG peripheral for the LPC31xx.
It should be possible to drop in the LPC31xx driver with a small porting effort.
</li>
<li>
The Ethernet block looks to be based on the same IP as the STM32 Ethernet and, as a result, it should be possible to leverage the NuttX STM32 Ethernet driver with a little more effort.

<p><b>AVR-Specific Issues</b>.
The basic AVR port is solid and biggest issue for using AVR is its tiny SRAM memory and its Harvard architecture.
Because of the Harvard architecture, constant data that resides to flash is inaccessible using &quot;normal&quot; memory reads and writes (only SRAM data can be accessed &quot;normally&quot;).
Special AVR instructions are available for accessing data in FLASH, but these have not been integrated into the normal, general purpose OS.
</p>
<p>
Most NuttX test applications are console-oriented with lots of strings used for printf and debug output.
These strings are all stored in SRAM now due to these data accessing issues and even the smallest console-oriented applications can quickly fill a 4-8Kb memory.
So, in order for the AVR port to be useful, one of two things would need to be done:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
Don't use console applications that required lots of strings.
The basic AVR port is solid and your typical deeply embedded application should work fine.
Or,
</li>
<li>
Create a special version of printf that knows how to access strings that reside in FLASH (or EEPROM).
</li>

All code is complete for the basic NuttX port including header files for all AT32UC3* peripherals.
The untested AVR32 code was present in the 5.12 release of NuttX.
Since then, the basic RTOS port has solidified:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
The port successfully passes the NuttX OS test (apps/examples/ostest).
</li>
<li>
A NuttShell (NSH) configuration is in place (see the <a href="http://www.nuttx.org/NuttShell.html">NSH User Guide</a>).
Testing of that configuration has been postponed (because it got bumped by the Olimex LPC1766-STK port).
Current Status: I think I have a hardware problem with my serial port setup.
There is a good chance that the NSH port is complete and functional, but I am not yet able to demonstrate that.
At present, I get nothing coming in the serial RXD line (probably because the pins are configured wrong or I have the MAX232 connected wrong).

Available configurations include the OS test and the NuttShell (NSH - see the <a href="http://www.nuttx.org/NuttShell.html">NSH User Guide</a>).
An untested USB device-side driver is available in the source tree.
A more complete port would include support of the USB OTG port and of the LCD display on this board.
Those drivers are not yet available as of this writing.

<b>PIC32MX795F512L</b>.
There one two board ports using this chip:
</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Microchip PIC32 Ethernet Starter Kit</b>.
This port uses the Microchip PIC32 Ethernet Starter Kit (DM320004) with the Expansion I/O board.
See the <a href="http://ww.microchip.com">Microchip website</a> for further information.
</li>
<p>
<b>STATUS:</b>
This port was started and then shelved for some time until I received the Expansion I/O board.
The basic Starter Kit (even with the Multimedia Expansion Board, MEB, DM320005)) has no serial port and most NuttX test configurations depend heavily on console output.
</p>
<p>
Verified configurations for the OS test and the NuttShel (NSH) appeared in NuttX-6.16.
Board support includes a verified USB (device-side) driver.
Also included are a a verified Ethernet driver, a partially verified USB device controller driver, and an unverifed SPI driver.
Stay tuned for updates.
</p>
<li><b>Mikroelektronika PIC32MX7 Mulitmedia Board (MMB)</b>.
A port has been completed for the Mikroelektronika PIC32MX7 Multimedia Board (MMB).
See http://www.mikroe.com/ for further information about this board.
</li>
<p>
<b>STATUS:</b>
Two verified configurations are available:
(1) The basic OS test configuration that verfies the correctness port of Nuttx, and (2) an extensive <a href="NuttShell.html">NuttShell (NSH)</a> configuration.
The NSH configuration includes:
(1) Full network support,
(2) Verified SPI driver,
(3) SPI-based SD Card support,
(4) USB device support (including configuration options for the USB mass storage device and the CDC/ACM serial class), and
(5) Support for the MIO873QT2 LCD on the PIC32MX7 MMB.
</p>
</p>
The PIC32MX7 MMB's touchscreen is connected directly to the MCU via ADC pins.
A touchscreen driver has been developed using the PIC32's ADC capabilities and can be enabled in the NSH configuration.
However, additional verification and tuning of this driver is required.
Further display/touchscreen verification would require C++ support (for NxWidgets and NxWM).
Since I there is no PIC32 C++ is the free version of the MPLAB C32 toolchain, further graphics development is stalled.

<b>SH-1 SH7032</b>.
This port uses the Hitachi SH-1 Low-Cost Evaluation Board (SH1_LCEVB1), US7032EVB,
with a GNU arm-elf toolchain* under Linux or Cygwin.
</p>
<ul>
<p>
<b>STATUS:</b>
This port is available as of release 0.3.18 of NuttX. The port is basically complete
and many examples run correctly. However, there are remaining instabilities that
make the port un-usable. The nature of these is not understood; the behavior is
that certain SH-1 instructions stop working as advertised. This could be a silicon
problem, some pipeline issue that is not handled properly by the gcc 3.4.5 toolchain
(which has very limit SH-1 support to begin with), or perhaps with the CMON debugger.
At any rate, I have exhausted all of the energy that I am willing to put into this cool
old processor for the time being.

<b>Cygwin + GNU <code>make</code> + Windows Native Toolchain</b>
</td>

<tr>

<p>
This is a tougher environment.
In this case, the Windows native toolchain is unaware of the
Cygwin <i>sandbox</i> and, instead, operates in the native Windows environment.
The primary difficulties with this are:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Paths</b>.
Full paths 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>
<p><small>
NOTE: In this environment, it should be possible to use the NTFS <code>mklink</code> command to create links.
This should only require a minor modification to the build scripts (see <code>tools/winlink.sh</code> script).
</small></p>
<li>
<b>Dependencies</b>
NuttX uses the GCC compiler's <code>-M</code> option to generate make dependencies. These
dependencies are retained in files called <code>Make.deps</code> throughout the system.
For compilers other than GCC, there is no support for making dependencies in this way.
For Windows native GCC compilers, the generated dependencies are windows paths and not
directly usable in the Cygwin make. By default, dependencies are surpressed for these
compilers as well.
</li>
<p><small>
NOTE: dependencies are suppress by setting the make variable <code>MKDEPS</code> to point
to the do-nothing dependency script, <code>tools/mknulldeps.sh</code>.
Dependencies can be enabled for the Windows native GCC compilers by setting
<code>MKDEPS</code> to point to <code>$(TOPDIR)/tools/mkdeps.sh --winpaths $(TOPDIR)</code>.
</small></p>
</ul>
<p>
<b>Supported Windows Native Toolchains</b>.
At present, only the Zilog Z16F, z8Encore, and eZ80Acclaim ports use a non-GCC native Windows
toolchain(the Zilog ZDS-II toolchain).
Support for Windows native GCC toolchains (CodeSourcery and devkitARM) is currently implemented
for the NXP LPC214x, STMicro STR71x, and Luminary LMS6918 ARM ports.
(but could easily be extended to any other GCC-based platform with a small effort).

I've never tried this one, but I off the following reported by an ez80 user using the ZiLOG ZDS-II Windows-native toolchain:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
&quot;I've installed ZDS-II 5.1.1 (IDE for ez80-based boards) on wine (windows emulator for UNIX) and to my surprise, not many changes were needed to make SVN snapshot of Nuttx buildable...
I've tried nsh profile and build process completed successfully.
One remark is necessary: Nuttx makefiles for ez80 are referencing <code>cygpath</code> utility.
Wine provides similar thing called <code>winepath</code> which is compatible and offers compatible syntax.
To use that, <code>winepath</code> (which itself is a shell script) has to be copied as <code>cygpath</code> somewhere in <code>$PATH</code>, and edited as in following patch:
</p>
<ul><pre>
# diff -u `which winepath` `which cygpath`

</pre></ul>
<p>
&quot;Better solution would be replacing all <code>cygpath</code> references in <code>Makefiles </code> with <code>$(CONVPATH)</code> (or <code>${CONVPATH}</code> in shell scripts) and setting <code>CONVPATH</code> to <code>cygpath</code> or <code>winepath</code> regarding to currently used environment.

<b>Environment Dependencies</b>.
The primary environmental dependency of NuttX are (1) GNU make,
(2) bash scripting, and (3) Linux utilities (such as cat, sed, etc.).
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 (with some
porting effort). If GNU make is not supported, then some significant
modification of the Make system would be required.
</p>
<p>
<b>GNUWin32</b>.
For example, with suitable make system changes, it should be possible to
use native GNU tools (such as those from
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/">GNUWin32</a>)
to build NuttX.
However, that environment has not been used as of this writing.
</p>
<p><small>
NOTE: One of the members on the <a href="http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/nuttx/">NuttX forum</a>
reported that they successful built NuttX using such a GNUWin32-based, Windows native environment.
They reported that the only necessary change was to the use the NTFS mklink command to create links
(see <code>tools/winlink.sh</code> script).

nuttx-6.20 2012-07-12 Gregory Nutt &lt;gnutt@nuttx.org&gt;
* configs/stm3210e-eval/src and arch/arm/src/stm32/: Add beginnings of
power management support for the STM32 and the STM3210E-EVAL board, in
particular.
* Documentation/NfsHowTo.html: Add a How-To document for the new NFS
client feature.
* arch/mips/include/pic32mx and arch/mips/src/pic32mx: Add support for the
PIC32MX1 and PIC32MX2 families.
* configs/mirtoo: Add a board configuration to support the DTX1-4000L
&quot;Mirtoo&quot; module from http://www.dimitech.com/
* tools/pic32mx: All of the duplicate directories containing the same
same PIC32 tools were move to this single location.
* configs/mirtoo: The basic Mirtoo port is now functional.
* configs/mirtoo/ostest: Added support for the microchipOpen toolchain
(see http://sourceforge.net/projects/microchipopen/).
* configs/mirtoo/nsh: Added a NuttShell (NSH) configuration for
the Mirtoo module.
* configs/mirtoo/scripts: Move all Mirtoo linker scripts to a common
directory.
* arch/mips/src/pic32mx/pic32mx-gpio.c: All digital inputs were being
configured as outputs. This is a *critical* bug fix and needs to be
incorporated by any PIC32 users.
* drivers/mtd/sst25.c: Added a driver for the SST 25 SPI-based FLASH
parts.
* configs/mirtoo/src/up_nsh.c: The Mirtoo NSH configuration can now
mount the SST 25 devices so that it can be used for a FAT file system.
There are are, however, some NSH memory usage issues if this configuration
enabled now. Some tuning is still needed.
* configs/mirtoo/nxffs: Add an alternative NSH configure for the Mirtoo
module for testing the on-module SST 25 chip using the NXFFS file system.
* arch/arm/src/lpc43xx and arch/arm/include/lpc43xx: The NXP LPC43xx port
is slowly evolving in these directories.
* configs/stm3210e-eval/pm: Add a new configuration for testing STM32 power
management.
* configs/stm3210e-eval/scripts: Moved all of the duplicate ST3210-EVAL
linker scripts into one set of linker scripts at this location.
* configs/stm3210e-eval/src/up_buttons.c, up_lcd.c, and up_pm.c: New logic
for testing STM32 power management.
* configs/lincoln60: Add a configuration to support the Micromint Lincoln60
board.
* configs/ekk-lm3s3b96: Add a configuration to support the TI/Stellaris
EKK-LM3S3B96 development board. Contributed by Jose Pablo Rojas V.
* arch/arm/src/lpc43xx/chip: Created header files for *all* (really)
lpc43xx registers and all bit-fields.
* configs/lpc4330-xplorer: Added a configuration for the NXP LPC43XX
Xplorer board. This is just to facilitate testing of the LPC43xx
port but will, with any luck, become proper board support for that
board.
* arch/arm/src/lm3s/lm3s_syscontrol.c: Fix an optimization related problem
by adding a volatile qualifier to a timing loop. Oddly, the consequence
of the bug is that when debug was off, the LM3S platform too a long time
to boot. It now boots rapidly whether debug is on or off.
* arch/*/include/limits.h: Change all values in all limits.h for all
architectures to signed decimal; the hex values were not sign extending
appropriate in most uses (reported by Lorenz Meier).
* arch/arm/src/stm32/chip/stm32f103/7vc_pinmap: Fix typographical error in
two pinmap definition files.
* lib/net/lib_inetntoa.c: Fix typographical error that cause compilation
failure on platforms that do not support passing of structures as
parameters.
* arch/arm/*/lpc43xx and configs/lpc4330-xplorer and code complete and
ready for testing. Hopefully, verified LPC43xx support will appear
in NuttX-6.20.
* include/nuttx/stdarg.h: If CONFIG_ARCH_STDARG_H=y is defined, the top-level
makefile will copy the generic (GCC-only) stdarg.h header file from
include/nuttx/stdarg.h to include/stdarg.h. So for the architectures
that cannot use their GCC toolchain's stdarg.h file, they can use this
alternative by defining CONFIG_ARCH_STDARG_H=y. If CONFIG_ARCH_STDARG_H,
is not defined, then the redirecting stdarg.h header file will stay
out-of-the-way in include/nuttx/.
* configs/lpc4330-xplorer/nsh: Add an NSH configuration for the LPC4330
Xplorer board.
apps-6.19 2012-07-12 Gregory Nutt &lt;gnutt@nuttx.org&gt;
* namedapp/exec_namedapp.c - Correct an error when round robin scheduling
is enabled. The priority of the new, named application was erroneously
being set to the priority of the parent thread; losing its configured
priority. Reported by Mike Smith.
NxWidgets-1.2 2012-06-15 Gregory Nutt &lt;gnutt@nuttx.org&gt;
* NXWidgets::CCallback: callback arguement is now type CCallback and not
CWidgetControl; Added a method to redirect keyboard contacts to either
the widgets in the window (via CWidgetControl) or to an NxConsole (via
nxcon_kbdin()).
* NXWidgets::INxWindow, CBgWindow, CNxTkWindow, CNxToolbar, CNxWindow:
Now pass the CCallback intances as the callback argument instead of
the CWidgetControl instance. New method redirectNxConsole() will
support redirection of any window keyboard input to the NxConsole
(via CCallback).
* NxWM:CNxConsole: Configures the NxConsole window to redirection keyboard
input to the NxConsole; redirects standard input to the NxConsole
device driver.
* NxWM:CKeyboard: Add a new class that implements a keyboard listener
thread. This thread reads from /dev/console and injects the keyboard
input into NX. NX will determine which window is at the top of the
heirarchy and re-direct the keyboard input to only that top window.
This solves an important problem with, for example, running multiple
copies of the NxConsole: On the copy of the NxConsole at the top of
the heirarchy should get the keyboard input.
* UnitTests/nxwm/main.cxx: Now starts the keyboard thread if
CONFIG_NXWM_KEYBOARD is defined.
* NxWM::CTaskbar: After drawing the task bar, need to raise the
application window otherwise the taskbar will be on the top and
keyboard input will not be received by the top application.
* NxWM::CTaskbar: Bugfix... previous window should not be minimized
when a new window is started. It should stay in a maximized state
so that it will re-appear with the window above it is closed or
minimized.
* NxWM::CHexCalculator: Add a hexadecimal/decimal calculator
example.
* NXWidgets::CNxTkWindow: Back out height adjustment in the getSize()
method. The code was correct as it was before.
* NXWidgets::CButtonArray and NXWidgets::CGraphicsPort: There is
a kludge in there to handle the case where we cannot read the
background data because the LCD does not support read operations.
In that case, we just use the default background color. However,
that doesn't work either for the case where the background color
changes when the widget is selected. Then the background color
in the font is wrong. Fixed in CButtonArrary, but the problem
probably exists in other places as well.
* NxWM: Increase default spacing of icons on the Start Window.
* NxWM::CHexCalculator: Fix some non-standard calculator behavior
after = is pressed. Use upper case hex. Increase font size.
* nxwm/Makefile: Fix error that creapt in during some other
recent check-ins.
pascal-3.0 2011-05-15 Gregory Nutt &lt;gnutt@nuttx.org&gt;
* nuttx/: The Pascal add-on module now installs and builds under the
apps/interpreters directory. This means that the pascal-2.1 module is
incompatible with will all releases of NuttX prior to nuttx-6.0 where the
apps/ module was introduced.
buildroot-1.10 2011-05-06 &lt;gnutt@nuttx.org&gt;
* Add patch submitted by Dimiter Georgiev to work around problems in building
GDB 6.8 with versions of Cygwin &gt; 1.7.
* configs/i486-defconfig-4.3.3 - Builds an i486 cross development toolchain
using gcc 4.3.3. Why wouldyou want such a thing? On Linux, of course,
such a thing is not needed because you can use the installed GCC to build
i486 ELF binaries. But that will not work under Cygwin! The Cygwin
toolchain (and probably MinGW), build DOS MZ format executables (i.e.,
.exe files). That is probably not usable for most NuttX targets.
Instead, you should use this i486-elf-gcc to generate true ELF binaries
under Cygwin.
* Makefile - Alter copy arguments to avoid permissions problems when
copying NuttX header files.
* toolchain/nxflat/nxflat.mk and Makefile - Fix include paths.
* toolchain/gcc/3.3.6 - Added a patch to fixed compilation error on Ubuntu
9.10.
* toolchain/nxflat/Makefile - Correct static library link order.
* configs/arm920t-defconfig-4.3.3 - Enable support for NXFLAT tools.
* toolchain/binutils/2.21 and toolchain/gcc/4.5.2 - Add support for GCC
4.5.2 with binutils 2.21.
* configs/arm920t-eabi-defconfig-4.5.2 - Add a configuration to build a
GCC 4.5.2 EABI ARM toolchain for the ARM920t.
