<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?

<b>Lots of Features -- More can be smaller!</b>

<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.

<h2>NuttX-6.18 Release Notes</h2>
<p>
The 85<sup>th</sup> release of NuttX, Version 6.18, was made on May 19, 2012, and is available for download from the
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/nuttx/files/">SourceForge</a> website.
Note that the release consists of two tarballs: <code>nuttx-6.18.tar.gz</code> and <code>apps-6.18.tar.gz</code>.
Both may be needed (see the top-level <code>nuttx/README.txt</code> file for build information)
The change log associated with the release is available <a href="#currentrelease">here</a>.
Unreleased changes after this release are available in SVN.
These unreleased changes are also listed <a href="#pendingchanges">here</a>.
</p>
<p>
The majority of changes in this release are focused on supporting the synchronized release of NxWM, the NuttX tiny window manager.
That window manager is released as part of the NxWidgets package, but depends upon many of the changes in this NuttX release.
</p>
<p><b>New Features</b>.
New or extended features in this release include:
</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Drivers</b>.
Added a watchdog timer driver infrastructure.
Add general support for STMicro STMPE811 I/O Expander/touchscreen device.
</li>
<li><b>STM32</b>.
Add support for the STM32 IWDG and WWDG watchodog timers.
DMA now supports cicular buffer mode;

</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.

<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).

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).

<b>Cygwin + GNU <code>make</code> + Windows Native Toolchain</b>
</td>
</tr>
<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-6.18 2012-05-19 Gregory Nutt &lt;gnutt@nuttx.org&gt;
* Kconfig: Continued Kconfig file updates (no longer tracking on a per-file
basis in the ChangeLog)
* arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_iwdog.c and stm32_wwdog.c: Add the STM32 IWDG
and WWDIG watchdog timer driver.
* configs/stm3240g-eval/src/up_lcd.c: Add LCD from for the STM3240G-EVAL (the
initial check-in is just a stm3210e-eval driver with renaming).
* sched/sched_setscheduler.c: Correct successful return value (Contributed
by Richard Cochran).
* include/fcntl.h and lib/stdio: Ignore CONFIG_STDIO_LINEBUFFER is the
file was opened in binary mode.
* lib/stdio/lib_fopen.c: Correct an error in parsing open mode string. The
plus sign may not appear right after the basic mode. For example, &quot;r+&quot;, &quot;rb+&quot;,
and &quot;r+b&quot; are all valid open strings and mean the same thing.
* lib/stdio/lib_fopen.c: Correct return errno value from f_open() and
f_fdopen() if the open mode string is invalid.
* drivers/serial/serial.c: Do not disable Rx interrupts on each byte.
Rather, only disable Rx interrupts when the Rx ring buffer may be empty.
* include/nuttx/usb/audio.h: USB Audio 1.0 definitions (in progress).
* arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32fxx_dma.c: STM32 F4 DMA now supports circular
buffer mode (contributed by Mike Smith)
* arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_serial.c: The serial driver can now support
Rx DMA into a circular buffer (contributed by Mike Smith)
* configs/pic32mx7mmb: Beginning of a configuration for the Mikroelektronka
PIC32MX7 Multimedia Board (MMB).
* net/recvfrom.c: Fix a compilation problem. Some UDP logic was conditioned
on TCP, not UDP.
* drivers/usbdev/cdcacm.c: Fix an infinite loop that occurs when the serial
device is unregisters.
* arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_otgfs.c: The driver needs to reset the software (in
order to flush the requests) and to disable the software connection when the
device is unregistered.
* include/sys/prctl.h, sched/prctl.c, include/pthread.h: Add interfaces to
support getting and setting of the thread or task name.
* configs/ubw32: Added a configuration to support the Sparkfun UBW32 PIC32 board.
* configs/ubw32/nsh: Added an NSH configuration for the Sparkfun UBW32 PIC32 board.
* configs/ubw32/up_buttons.c: Added button support for Bit Whacker board.
* configs/stm3240g-eval/nxconsole: Added a configuration to run the NSH
shell in an NX window for the STM3240G-EVAL board.
* include/cxx/cunistd: C++ header file to make sure that everything in
unistd.h is in the std:: namespace.
* configs/sim/nxwm: Added a configuration for testing the NuttX Window Manager
(NxWM)
* fs/fs_fcntl.h: On success, always returned OK. However, some fcntl commands
require returning other values on success.
* Various files. Fix warnings about variables that were initialized by not used.
* configs/sim/*/defconfig: Changes to build a 32-bit simulation on a 32-bit
platform did not make into all of the Make.defs files.
* graphics/nxmu/nx_move.c: Wrong opcode was being used in the server message;
Also there was an error in the offset calculation.
* graphics/nxglib/fb/nxglib_moverectangle.c: Offset argument is really a
position, not an offset.
* graphics/nxtk/nxtk_drawframe.c: Framed windows are now drawn in three
colors (instead of just two).
* drivers/input/stmpe811_*: Added a driver to support the STMicro STMPE811
IO Expander and touchscreen driver.
* configs/stm3240g-eval/nxwm: Added to configuration for testing the NxWM
window manager on the STM3240G-EVAL board.
* graphics/nxtk/nxtk_toolbarbounds.c: Added an interface to get the toolbar
bounding box.
* graphics/nxtk/nxtk_drawframe.c: Fix an error in drawing the window frame.
* NX, NxConsole: Replace CONFIG_NXCONSOLE_NOGETRUN to CONFIG_LCD_GETRUN. The
inability to read from the LCD is a property of the LCD, not of NxConsole.
Then add CONFIG_NX_WRITEONLY which is the more generic way of saying that
no NX component should try to read from the underlying graphic device (LCD
or other).
* configs/stm3240g-eval/src/up_stmpe811.c: Add board-specific support for the
the STMPE811 I/O expander on the STM3240G-EVAL board. Verfied that the
STM3240G-EVAL touchscreen is now fully functional.
* include/cxx/cfcntl: Added std:: header file.
* graphics/nxbe/nxbe_filltrapezoid.c and graphics/nxglib/fb/nxglib_filltrapezoid.c:
Fix several errors in the trapezoid fill logic.
* include/nuttx/input/touchscreen.h, configs/hymini-stm32, configs/stm3240g-evel,
* configs/sam3u-ek, configs/sim, arch/sim/src/up_touchscreen.c, and
apps/examples/touchscreen: Standardize the board-specific, touchscreen
initialization interfaces.
* drivers/input/stmpe811_base.c and configs/stm3240g-eval: The STMPE811-based
touchscreen seems to work better with edge (vs. level) interrupts
* drivers/input/stmpe811_tsc.c: Fix some status checks so that the touchscreen
interrupt handling logic does not read data if the fifo is not at the
threshold level.
* include/nuttx/wqueue.h: Add macro work_available() to determine if the
previously scheduled work has completed.
* drivers/stmpe811_tsc.c: Correct errors: (1) Since all interrupt logic is done on
the worker thread, disabling interrupts does not provide protected; Need to
disable pre-emption. (2) Fix handling of touch ID and (2) add some logic to
prevent certain kinds of data overrun.
* include/nx/nxtk.h and graphics/nx/nxtk/nxtk_internal.h: Move setting
of configuration defaults from the internal header file to a place where
other logic can use the defaults.
* graphics/nxtk/nxtk_events.c: Fixed an important but in the logic that
translates the mouse/touchscreen position data for framed windows and toolbars.
* drivers/input/stmpe811_tsc.c, tsc2007.c, and ads7843e.c: Need to keep track of
when if positional data is valid. When the touch is released, the X/Y position
of the release must be the same as the X/Y position of the last touch (se that
the release occurs in the same window as the last touch).
* graphics/nxtk/nxtk_events.c: Fix an error in mouse/touchscreen input logic:
Was autoraising the window AFTER processing the mouse press. This raises havoc
if the result of processing the mouse click was to raise some other window!
* graphics/nxtk/nxtk_events.c: I had to disable the whole autoraise feature
for multi-user case because it does not work correctly. In a scenario where (1) there
are multiple queued touchscreen events for the same window and (2) the result of the
first input was to switch windows, then the autoraise implementation will cause the
window to revert to the previous window. Not good behavior.
* sched/sched_mergepending.c: Add task switching instrumentation. There is a case
here where instrumentation was missing. Contributed by Petri Tanskanen.
* CONFIG_STMPE811_THRESHX, CONFIG_STMPE811_THRESHX, and drivers/stmpe811_tsc.c: Add some
thresholding controls to all slow down processing of touchscreen samples.
This is a problem with NX in multi-user mode: touchscreen data gets sent
via a message and when the message queue gets full the sender blocks and
touch events are lost. Basic data overrun. The badly effects touchscreen
human factors.
* include/sched.h: Fix a typo (missing semicolon) in prototype of on_exit();
* sched/on_exit.c and include/nuttx/sched.h: Fix some old typos that caused
compilation errors when CONFIG_SCHED_ONEXIT is defined.
* configs/stm3240g-eval/nxwm/defconfig: The default NxWM now uses the STMPE811
touchscreen.
* include/cxx/csched: Added
* graphic/nxmu/nxmu_sendserver.c, nxmu_sendwindow.c, and nxmu_sendclient.c:
Refactor NX messaging logic in preparation for a new message control
feature.
* graphics/nxtk, graphics/nxmu, include/nuttx/nx: Add a new window communication
to support blocking and flushing of client window messages. If there are
stale, queue window messages at the time that a window is destroyed, very bad
things happen.
apps-6.18 2012-05-19 Gregory Nutt &lt;gnutt@nuttx.org&gt;

pascal-3.0 2011-05-15 Gregory Nutt &lt;gnutt@nuttx.org&gt;

apps/ module was introduced.
buildroot-1.10 2011-05-06 &lt;gnutt@nuttx.org&gt;

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.
