menuconfig DISABLE_OS_API
bool "Disable NuttX interfaces"
default y
---help---
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.
if DISABLE_OS_API
config DISABLE_POSIX_TIMERS
bool "Disable POSIX timers"
default DEFAULT_SMALL
---help---
Disable support for the the entire POSIX timer family
including timer_create(), timer_gettime(), timer_settime(),
etc.
NOTE: This option will also disable getitimer() and
setitimer() which are not, strictly speaking, POSIX timers.

config DISABLE_MQUEUE
bool "Disable POSIX message queue support"

---help---
This option allows nx_start to return instead of
entering the idle loop.

config ARCH_HAVE_TICKLESS
bool
config SCHED_TICKLESS
bool "Support tick-less OS"
default n
depends on ARCH_HAVE_TICKLESS
---help---
By default, system time is driven by a periodic timer interrupt. An
alternative configurations is a tick-less configuration in which
there is no periodic timer interrupt. Instead an interval timer is
used to schedule the next OS time event. This option selects that
tick-less OS option. If the tick-less OS is selected, then there are
additional platform specific interfaces that must be provided as
defined in include/nuttx/arch.h
if SCHED_TICKLESS
config SCHED_TICKLESS_TICK_ARGUMENT
bool "Scheduler use tick argument"
default n
---help---
Enables use of tick argument in scheduler. If enabled, then the
board-specific logic must provide the following functions:
int up_timer_gettick(FAR clock_t *ticks);
If SCHED_TICKLESS_ALARM is enabled, then these additional interfaces are
expected:
int up_alarm_tick_cancel(FAR clock_t *ticks);
int up_alarm_tick_start(clock_t ticks);
Otherwise, these additional interfaces are expected:
int up_timer_tick_cancel(FAR clock_t *ticks);
int up_timer_tick_start(FAR clock_t ticks);
config SCHED_TICKLESS_ALARM
bool "Tickless alarm"
default n
---help---
The tickless option can be supported either via a simple interval
timer (plus elapsed time) or via an alarm. The interval timer allows
programming events to occur after an interval. With the alarm,
you can set a time in the future and get an event when that alarm
goes off. This option selects the use of an alarm.
The advantage of an alarm is that it avoids some small timing
errors; the advantage of the use of the interval timer is that
the hardware requirement may be less.
config SCHED_TICKLESS_LIMIT_MAX_SLEEP
bool "Max sleep period (in microseconds)"
default n
---help---
Enables use of the g_oneshot_maxticks variable. This variable is
initialized by platform-specific logic at runtime to the maximum
delay that the timer can wait (in configured clock ticks). The
RTOS tickless logic will then limit all requested delays to this
value.
endif
config USEC_PER_TICK
int "System timer tick period (microseconds)"
default 10000 if !SCHED_TICKLESS
default 100 if SCHED_TICKLESS
---help---
In the "normal" configuration where system time is provided by a
periodic timer interrupt, the default system timer is expected to
run at 100Hz or USEC_PER_TICK=10000. This setting must be defined
to inform of NuttX the interval that the processor hardware is
providing system timer interrupts to the OS.
If SCHED_TICKLESS is selected, then there are no system timer
interrupts. In this case, USEC_PER_TICK does not control any timer
rates. Rather, it only determines the resolution of time reported
by clock_systime_ticks() and the resolution of times that can be set for
certain delays including watchdog timers and delayed work. In this
case there is a trade-off: It is better to have the USEC_PER_TICK as
low as possible for higher timing resolution. However, the time
is currently held in 'unsigned int' on some systems, this may be
16-bits but on most contemporary systems it will be 32-bits. In
either case, smaller values of USEC_PER_TICK will reduce the range
of values that delays that can be represented. So the trade-off is
between range and resolution (you could also modify the code to use
a 64-bit value if you really want both).
The default, 100 microseconds, will provide for a range of delays
up to 120 hours.
This value should never be less than the underlying resolution of
the timer. Error may ensue.
if !SCHED_TICKLESS
config SYSTEMTICK_EXTCLK
bool "Use external clock"
default n
depends on ARCH_HAVE_EXTCLK
---help---
Use external clock for system tick. When enabled, the platform-specific
logic must start its own timer interrupt to make periodic calls to the
nxsched_process_timer() or the functions called within. The purpose is
to move the scheduling off the processor clock to allow entering low
power states that would disable that clock.
config SYSTEMTICK_HOOK
bool "System timer hook"
default n
---help---
Enable a call to a user-provided, board-level function on each timer
tick. This permits custom actions that may be performed on each
timer tick. The form of the user-provided function is:
void board_timerhook(void);
(prototyped in include/nuttx/board.h).
endif # !SCHED_TICKLESS
config SYSTEM_TIME64
bool "64-bit system clock"
default n
---help---
The system timer is incremented at the rate determined by
USEC_PER_TICK, typically at 100Hz. The count at any given time is
then the "uptime" in units of system timer ticks. By default, the
system time is 32-bits wide. Those defaults provide a range of about
497 days which is probably a sufficient range for "uptime".
However, if the system timer rate is significantly higher than 100Hz
and/or if a very long "uptime" is required, then this option can be
selected to support a 64-bit wide timer.
config ARCH_HAVE_ADJTIME
bool
default n
config CLOCK_ADJTIME
bool "Support adjtime function"
default n
depends on ARCH_HAVE_ADJTIME || RTC_ADJTIME
---help---
Enables usage of adjtime() interface used to correct the system time
clock. This requires specific architecture support.
Adjustment can affect system timer period and/or high-resolution RTC.
These are implemented by interfaces up_adjtime() and up_rtc_adjtime().
This is not a POSIX interface but derives from 4.3BSD, System V.
It is also supported for Linux compatibility.
if CLOCK_ADJTIME
config CLOCK_ADJTIME_SLEWLIMIT_PPM
int "Adjtime slew limit"
default 20000
range 1 1000000
---help---
Set limit of adjtime() clock slewing as parts per million.
In real time systems we do not want the time to adjust too quickly.
For example CLOCK_ADJTIME_SLEWLIMIT=1000 will slow or speed the timer
tick period by at most 0.1 percent of the nominal value.
config CLOCK_ADJTIME_PERIOD_MS
int "Adjtime period"
default 970

Enables support for spinlocks. Spinlocks are used primarily for
synchronization in SMP configurations but are available for general
synchronization between CPUs. Use in a single CPU configuration would
most likely be fatal. Note, however, that this does not depend on
CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_MULTICPU. This permits the use of spinlocks in
other novel architectures.

This value identifies the number of CPUs supported by the processor
that will be used for SMP.
If CONFIG_DEBUG_FEATURES is enabled, then the value one is permitted
for CONFIG_SMP_NCPUS. This is not normally a valid setting for an
SMP configuration. However, running the SMP logic in a single CPU
configuration is useful during certain testing.

Specifies the maximum size of a task name to save in the TCB.
Useful if scheduler instrumentation is selected. Set to zero to
disable. Excludes the NUL terminator; the actual allocated size
will be TASK_NAME_SIZE + 1. The default of 31 then results in
a align-able 32-byte allocation.
config SCHED_HAVE_PARENT
bool "Support parent/child task relationships"
default n
---help---
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
bool "Retain child exit status"
default n
depends on SCHED_HAVE_PARENT
---help---
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's 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 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);
if SCHED_CHILD_STATUS
config PREALLOC_CHILDSTATUS
int "Number of pre-allocated child status"
default 0
---help---
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.
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);

occurs. This is a very coarse measurement, but over a period of time,
it can very accurately determine the percentage of the time that the

The statistics collected in this could be used, for example, in the
PROCFS file system to provide CPU load measurements when read.
Note that in tickless mode of operation (SCHED_TICKLESS) there is

If this option is enabled, the system clock is used for cpu load

There is a serious issue for the accuracy of measurements if the

the time of the system timer expiration. Others may be stopped at
the time of the system timer expiration (if round-robin time-slicing
is enabled). Such thread behavior occurs synchronously with the
system timer and, hence, is not randomly sampled. As a consequence,
the CPU load attributed to these threads that run synchronously with
they system timer may be grossly in error.
The CPU load measurements are determined by sampling the active
tasks periodically at the occurrence to a timer expiration.
If tickless is enabled, SYSCLK should not be used. Its error will be
very large, and using it for analysis will lead to wrong conclusions.

the CPU load attributed to these threads that run synchronously with

The solution is to use some other clock that runs at a different
rate and has timer expirations that are asynchronous with the
system timer. Then truly accurate load measurements can be
achieved. This option enables use of such an "external" clock. The
implementation of the clock must be provided by platform-specific

There are three points in time where you can insert custom,

initialization of very low-level things like configuration of
GPIO pins, power setting. The OS has not been initialized
at this point, so you cannot allocate memory or initialize
device drivers at this phase.
2) The next level of initialization is performed by a call to
up_initialize() (in arch/<arch>/src/common/up_initialize.c).
The OS has been initialized at this point and it is okay to
initialize drivers in this phase.
At this same point in time, the OS will also call a board-
specific initialization function named board_early_initialize()
if CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INITIALIZE is selected. The context in
which board_early_initialize() executes is suitable for early
initialization of most, simple device drivers and is a logical,
board-specific extension of up_initialize().
board_early_initialize() runs on the startup, initialization thread.
Some initialization operations cannot be performed on the start-up,
initialization thread. That is because the initialization thread
cannot wait for event. Waiting may be required, for example, to
mount a file system or or initialize a device such as an SD card.
For this reason, such driver initialize must be deferred to
board_late_initialize().
3) And, finally, just before the user application code starts.
If CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INITIALIZE is selected, then an additional
initialization call will be performed in the boot-up sequence to a
function called board_late_initialize(). board_late_initialize()
will be called after up_initialize() is called and just before the
main application is started. This additional initialization
phase may be used, for example, to initialize more complex,
board-specific device drivers.
Waiting for events, use of I2C, SPI, etc are permissible in the

board_late_initialize() will run on a temporary, internal kernel
thread.

notifier, but was developed specifically to support poll() logic
where the poll must wait for an resources to become available.
config SCHED_HPWORK
bool "High priority (kernel) worker thread"
default n
select SCHED_WORKQUEUE
---help---
Create a dedicated high-priority "worker" thread to handle delayed
processing from interrupt handlers. This feature is required for
some drivers but, if there are no complaints, can be safely
disabled. The high priority worker thread also performs garbage
collection -- completing any delayed memory deallocations from
interrupt handlers. If the high-priority worker thread is disabled,
then that clean up will be performed either by (1) the low-priority
worker thread, if enabled, and if not (2) the IDLE thread instead
(which runs at the lowest of priority and may not be appropriate if
memory reclamation is of high priority)
For other, less-critical asynchronous or delayed process, the
low-priority worker thread is recommended.
if SCHED_HPWORK
config SCHED_HPNTHREADS
int "Number of high-priority worker threads"
default 1
---help---
This options selects multiple, high-priority threads. This is
essentially a "thread pool" that provides multi-threaded servicing
of the high-priority work queue. This breaks the serialization
of the "queue" (hence, it is no longer a queue at all).
CAUTION: Some drivers may use the work queue to serialize
operations. They may also use the high-priority work queue if it is
available. If there are multiple high-priority worker threads, then
this can result in the loss of that serialization. There may be
concurrent driver operations running on different HP threads and
this could lead to a failure. You may need to visit the use of the
HP work queue on your configuration is you select
CONFIG_SCHED_HPNTHREADS > 1
config SCHED_HPWORKPRIORITY
int "High priority worker thread priority"
default 224
---help---
The execution priority of the higher priority worker thread.
The higher priority worker thread is intended to serve as the
"bottom" half for device drivers. As a consequence it must run at
a very high, fixed priority. Typically, it should be the highest
priority thread in your system. Default: 224
For lower priority, application oriented worker thread support,
please consider enabling the lower priority work queue. The lower
priority work queue runs at a lower priority, of course, but has
the added advantage that it supports "priority inheritance" (if
PRIORITY_INHERITANCE is also selected): The priority of the lower
priority worker thread can then be adjusted to match the highest
priority client.
config SCHED_HPWORKSTACKSIZE

config SCHED_LPWORK
bool "Low priority (kernel) worker thread"
default n
select SCHED_WORKQUEUE
---help---
If SCHED_LPWORK is defined then a lower-priority work queue will
be created. This lower priority work queue is better suited for
more extended, application oriented processing (such as file system
clean-up operations or asynchronous I/O)
if SCHED_LPWORK
config SCHED_LPNTHREADS
int "Number of low-priority worker threads"
default 1 if !FS_AIO
default 4 if FS_AIO
---help---
This options selects multiple, low-priority threads. This is
essentially a "thread pool" that provides multi-threaded servicing
of the low-priority work queue. This breaks the serialization
of the "queue" (hence, it is no longer a queue at all).
This options is required to support, for example, I/O operations
that stall waiting for input. If there is only a single thread,
then the entire low-priority queue processing stalls in such cases.
Such behavior is necessary to support asynchronous I/O, AIO (for
example).
CAUTION: Some drivers may use the work queue to serialize
operations. They may also use the low-priority work queue if it is
available. If there are multiple low-priority worker threads, then
this can result in the loss of that serialization. There may be
concurrent driver operations running on different LP threads and
this could lead to a failure. You may need to visit the use of the
LP work queue on your configuration is you select
CONFIG_SCHED_LPNTHREADS > 1
config SCHED_LPWORKPRIORITY
int "Low priority worker thread priority"
default 100
---help---
The minimum execution priority of the lower priority worker thread.
The lower priority worker thread is intended support application-
oriented functions. The lower priority work queue runs at a lower
priority, of course, but has the added advantage that it supports
"priority inheritance" (if PRIORITY_INHERITANCE is also selected):
The priority of the lower priority worker thread can then be
adjusted to match the highest priority client. Default: 100
NOTE: This priority inheritance feature is not automatic. The
lower priority worker thread will always a fixed priority unless
you implement logic that calls lpwork_boostpriority() to raise the
priority of the lower priority worker thread (typically called
before scheduling the work) and then call the matching
lpwork_restorepriority() when the work is completed (typically
called within the work handler at the completion of the work).
Currently, only the NuttX asynchronous I/O logic uses this dynamic
prioritization feature.
The higher priority worker thread, on the other hand, is intended
to serve as the "bottom" half for device drivers. As a consequence
it must run at a very high, fixed priority. Typically, it should
be the highest priority thread in your system.
config SCHED_LPWORKPRIOMAX
int "Low priority worker thread maximum priority"
default 176
depends on PRIORITY_INHERITANCE
---help---
The maximum execution priority of the lower priority worker thread.
The lower priority worker thread is intended support application-
oriented functions. The lower priority work queue runs at a lower
priority, of course, but has the added advantage that it supports
"priority inheritance" (if PRIORITY_INHERITANCE is also selected):
The priority of the lower priority worker thread can then be
adjusted to match the highest priority client.
The higher priority worker thread, on the other hand, is intended
to serve as the "bottom" half for device drivers. As a consequence
it must run at a very high, fixed priority. Typically, it should
be the highest priority thread in your system.
This value provides an upper limit on the priority of the lower
priority worker thread. This would be necessary, for example, if
the higher priority worker thread were to defer work to the lower
priority thread. Clearly, in such a case, you would want to limit
the maximum priority of the lower priority work thread. Default:
176
