Toolchain
^^^^^^^^^

  A GNU GCC-based toolchain is assumed.  The PATH environment variable should
  be modified to point to the correct path to the ARM920T GCC toolchain (if
  different from the default).

  If you have no ARM toolchain, one can be downloaded from the NuttX
  Bitbucket download site (https://bitbucket.org/nuttx/buildroot/downloads/).

  1. You must have already configured Nuttx in <some-dir>nuttx.

     cd tools
     ./configure.sh mx1ads/<sub-dir>

  2. Download the latest buildroot package into <some-dir>

  3. unpack

  4. cd <some-dir>/buildroot

  5. cp configs/arm920t-defconfig-4.2.4 .config

  6. make oldconfig

  7. make

  8. Make sure that the PATH variable includes the path to the newly built
     binaries.

Issues
^^^^^^

  Title:       PORT IS INCOMPLETE
  Description: The basic port of the i.MX1 architecture was never finished.  The port
               is incomplete (as of this writing, is still lacks a timer, interrupt
               decoding, USB, network) and untested.
  Status:      Open
  Priority:    Medium (high if you need i.MX1/L support)

  Title:       SPI METHODS ARE NOT THREAD SAFE
  Description: SPI methods are not thread safe.  Needs a semaphore to protect from re-entrancy.
  Status:      Open
  Priority:    Medium -- Will be very high if you do SPI access from multiple threads.


ARM/i.MX1-specific Configuration Options
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

	CONFIG_ARCH - Identifies the arch/ subdirectory.  This should
	   be set to:

	   CONFIG_ARCH=arm

	CONFIG_ARCH_family - For use in C code:

	   CONFIG_ARCH_ARM=y

	CONFIG_ARCH_architecture - For use in C code:

	   CONFIG_ARCH_ARM920T=y

	CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP - Identifies the arch/*/chip subdirectory

	   CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP=imx1

	CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_name - For use in C code.  Could be line _IMX1,
	   _IMXL, _IMX21, _IMX27, _IMX31, etc. (not all of which are
	   supported).

	   CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_IMX1

	CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD - Identifies the configs subdirectory and
	   hence, the board that supports the particular chip or SoC.

	   CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD=mx1ads (for the Freescale MX1ADS evaluation board)

	CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_name - For use in C code

	   CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_MX1ADS (for the Spectrum Digital C5471 EVM)

	CONFIG_ARCH_LOOPSPERMSEC - Must be calibrated for correct operation
	   of delay loops

	CONFIG_ENDIAN_BIG - define if big endian (default is little
	   endian)

	CONFIG_RAM_SIZE - Describes the installed DRAM.

	CONFIG_RAM_START - The start address of installed DRAM

	CONFIG_RAM_VSTART - The startaddress of DRAM (virtual)

	CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS - Use LEDs to show state. Unique to boards that
	   have LEDs

	CONFIG_ARCH_INTERRUPTSTACK - This architecture supports an interrupt
	   stack. If defined, this symbol is the size of the interrupt
	   stack in bytes.  If not defined, the user task stacks will be
	  used during interrupt handling.

	CONFIG_ARCH_STACKDUMP - Do stack dumps after assertions

	CONFIG_ARCH_CALIBRATION - Enables some build in instrumentation that
	   cause a 100 second delay during boot-up.  This 100 second delay
	   serves no purpose other than it allows you to calibratre
	   CONFIG_ARCH_LOOPSPERMSEC.  You simply use a stop watch to measure
	   the 100 second delay then adjust CONFIG_ARCH_LOOPSPERMSEC until
	   the delay actually is 100 seconds.

  IMX specific device driver settings

	CONFIG_UARTn_SERIAL_CONSOLE - selects the UARTn for the
	   console and ttys0 (default is the UART0).
	CONFIG_UARTn_RXBUFSIZE - Characters are buffered as received.
	   This specific the size of the receive buffer
	CONFIG_UARTn_TXBUFSIZE - Characters are buffered before
	   being sent.  This specific the size of the transmit buffer
	CONFIG_UARTn_BAUD - The configure BAUD of the UART.  Must be
	CONFIG_UARTn_BITS - The number of bits.  Must be either 7 or 8.
	CONFIG_UARTn_PARTIY - 0=no parity, 1=odd parity, 2=even parity
	CONFIG_UARTn_2STOP - Two stop bits

  IMX USB Configuration

	CONFIG_IMX1_GIO_USBATTACH
	   GIO that detects USB attach/detach events
	CONFIG_IMX1_GIO_USBDPPULLUP
	   GIO
	CONFIG_DMA320_USBDEV_DMA
	   Enable IMX-specific DMA support
	CONFIG_IMX1_GIO_USBATTACH=6

Common Configuration Notes
--------------------------

  1. Each MX1ADS configuration is maintained in a sub-directory and
     can be selected as follow:

       cd tools
       ./configure.sh imxads/<subdir>
       cd -

     Where <subdir> is one of the configuration sub-directories described in
     the following paragraph.

  2. These configurations use the mconf-based configuration tool.  To
     change a configurations using that tool, you should:

     a. Build and install the kconfig-mconf tool.  See nuttx/README.txt
        see additional README.txt files in the NuttX tools repository.

     b. Execute 'make menuconfig' in nuttx/ in order to start the
        reconfiguration process.

  3. By default, all configurations assume that you are building under
     Linux (should work under Windows with Cygwin as well).  This is
     is easily reconfigured:

        CONFIG_HOST_LINUX=y

Configuration Sub-Directories
-----------------------------

Where <subdir> is one of the following:

  ostest

  This configuration directory, performs a simple OS test using
  examples/ostest.
