Board-Specific Configurations
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The NuttX configuration consists of:
o Processor architecture specific files. These are the files contained
in the arch/<arch-name>/ directory.
o Chip/SoC specific files. Each processor processor architecture
is embedded in chip or System-on-a-Chip (SoC) architecture. The
full chip architecture includes the processor architecture plus
chip-specific interrupt logic, general purpose I/O (GIO) logic, and
specialized, internal peripherals (such as UARTs, USB, etc.).
These chip-specific files are contained within chip-specific
sub-directories in the arch/<arch-name>/ directory and are selected
via the CONFIG_ARCH_name selection
o Board specific files. In order to be usable, the chip must be
contained in a board environment. The board configuration defines
additional properties of the board including such things as
peripheral LEDs, external peripherals (such as network, USB, etc.).
These board-specific configuration files can be found in the
configs/<board-name>/ sub-directories and are discussed in this
README. Additional configuration information maybe available in
board-specific configs/<board-name>/README.txt files.
The configs/ subdirectory contains configuration data for each board. These
board-specific configurations plus the architecture-specific configurations in
the arch/ subdirectory completely define a customized port of NuttX.
Directory Structure
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The configs directory contains board specific configurationlogic. Each
board must provide a subdirectory <board-name> under configs/ with the
following characteristics:
<board-name>
|-- README.txt
|-- include/
| `-- (board-specific header files)
|-- src/
| |-- Makefile
| `-- (board-specific source files)
|-- <config1-dir>
| |-- Make.defs
| |-- defconfig
| |-- appconfig*
| `-- setenv.sh
|-- <config2-dir>
| |-- Make.defs
| |-- defconfig
| |-- appconfig*
| `-- setenv.sh

Summary of Files
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
README.txt -- This text file provides additional information unique to
each board configuration sub-directory.
include/ -- This directory contains board specific header files. This
directory will be linked as include/arch/board at configuration time and
can be included via '#include <arch/board/header.h>'. These header file
can only be included by files in arch/<arch-name>include/ and
arch/<arch-name>/src
src/ -- This directory contains board specific drivers. This
directory will be linked as arch/<arch-name>/src/board at configuration
time and will be integrated into the build system.
src/Makefile -- This makefile will be invoked to build the board specific
drivers. It must support the following targets: libext$(LIBEXT), clean,
and distclean.
A board may have various different configurations using these common source
files. Each board configuration is described by three files: Make.defs,
defconfig, and setenv.sh. Typically, each set of configuration files is
retained in a separate configuration sub-directory (<config1-dir>,
<config2-dir>, .. in the above diagram).
Make.defs -- This makefile fragment provides architecture and
tool-specific build options. It will be included by all other
makefiles in the build (once it is installed). This make fragment
should define:
Tools: CC, LD, AR, NM, OBJCOPY, OBJDUMP
Tool options: CFLAGS, LDFLAGS
When this makefile fragment runs, it will be passed TOPDIR which
is the path to the root directory of the build. This makefile
fragment should include:
$(TOPDIR)/.config : Nuttx configuration
$(TOPDIR)/tools/Config.mk : Common definitions
Definitions in the Make.defs file probably depend on some of the
settings in the .config file. For example, the CFLAGS will most likely be
different if CONFIG_DEBUG=y.
The included tools/Config.mk file contains additional definitions that may
be overriden in the architecture-specific Make.defs file as necessary:
COMPILE, ASSEMBLE, ARCHIVE, CLEAN, and MKDEP macros
defconfig -- This is a configuration file similar to the Linux
configuration file. In contains variable/value pairs like:
CONFIG_VARIABLE=value
This configuration file will be used at build time:
(1) as a makefile fragment included in other makefiles, and
(2) to generate include/nuttx/config.h which is included by
most C files in the system.
appconfig -- This is another configuration file that is specific to the
application. This file is copied into the application build directory
when NuttX is configured. See ../apps/README.txt for further details.
setenv.sh -- This is a script that you can include that will be installed at
the toplevel of the directory structure and can be sourced to set any
necessary environment variables. You will most likely have to customize the
default setenv.sh script in order for it to work correctly in your
environment.
Configuration Variables
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
At one time, this section provided a list of all NuttX configuration
variables. However, NuttX has since converted to use the kconfig-frontends
tools (See http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/projects/kconfig-frontends). Now,
the NuttX configuration is determined by a self-documenting set of Kconfig
files.
The current NuttX configuration variables are also documented in separate,
auto-generated configuration variable document. That configuration variable
document is generated using the kconfig2html tool that can be found in the
nuttx/tools directory. That tool analyzes the NuttX Kconfig files and
generates an excruciatingly boring HTML document.
The latest boring configuration variable documentation can be regenerated at
any time using that tool or, more appropriately, the wrapper script at
nuttx/tools/mkconfigvars.sh. That script will generate the file
nuttx/Documentation/NuttXConfigVariables.html.
The version of NuttXConfigVariables.html for the last released version of
NuttX can also be found online at:
http://nuttx.org/Documentation/NuttXConfigVariables.html.

differences are cosmetic. This port was developed on the v1 board, but
the others may be compatible.
configs/p112
The P112 is notable because it was the first of the hobbyist single board
computers to reach the production stage. The P112 hobbyist computers
were relatively widespread and inspired other hobbyist centered home brew
computing projects such as N8VEM home brew computing project. The P112
project still maintains many devoted enthusiasts and has an online
repository of software and other information.
The P112 computer originated as a commercial product of "D-X Designs Pty
Ltd" of Australia. They describe the computer as "The P112 is a stand-alone
8-bit CPU board. Typically running CP/M (tm) or a similar operating system,
it provides a Z80182 (Z-80 upgrade) CPU with up to 1MB of memory, serial,
parallel and diskette IO, and realtime clock, in a 3.5-inch drive form factor.
Powered solely from 5V, it draws 150mA (nominal: not including disk drives)
with a 16MHz CPU clock. Clock speeds up to 24.576MHz are possible."
The P112 board was last available new in 1996 by Dave Brooks. In late 2004
on the Usenet Newsgroup comp.os.cpm, talk about making another run of P112
boards was discussed. David Griffith decided to produce additional P112 kits
with Dave Brooks blessing and the assistance of others. In addition Terry
Gulczynski makes additional P112 derivative hobbyist home brew computers.
Hal Bower was very active in the mid 1990's on the P112 project and ported
the "Banked/Portable BIOS".
Dave Brooks was successfully funded through Kickstarter for and another
run of P112 boards in November of 2012.

Configuring NuttX
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Configuring NuttX requires only copying
configs/<board-name>/<config-dir>/Make.def to ${TOPDIR}/Make.defs
configs/<board-name>/<config-dir>/setenv.sh to ${TOPDIR}/setenv.sh
configs/<board-name>/<config-dir>/defconfig to ${TOPDIR}/.config
And if configs/<board-name>/<config-dir>/appconfig exists in the board
configuration directory:
Copy configs/<board-name>/<config-dir>/appconfig to <app-dir>/.config
echo "APPS_LOC=\"<app-dir>\"" >> "${TOPDIR}/.config"
tools/configure.sh
There is a script that automates these steps. The following steps will
accomplish the same configuration:
cd tools
./configure.sh <board-name>/<config-dir>
There is an alternative Windows batch file that can be used in the
windows native enironment like:
cd ${TOPDIR}\tools
configure.bat <board-name>\<config-dir>
See tools/README.txt for more information about these scripts.
And if configs/<board-name>/<config-dir>/appconfig exists and your
application directory is not in the standard loction (../apps), then
you should also specify the location of the application directory on the
command line like:
cd tools
./configure.sh -a <app-dir> <board-name>/<config-dir>
Building Symbol Tables
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Symbol tables are needed at several of the binfmt interfaces in order to bind
a module to the base code. These symbol tables can be tricky to create and
will probably have to be tailored for any specific application, balancing
the number of symbols and the size of the symbol table against the symbols
required by the applications.
The top-level System.map file is one good source of symbol information
(which, or course, was just generated from the top-level nuttx file
using the GNU 'nm' tool).
There are also common-separated value (CSV) values in the source try that
provide information about symbols. In particular:
nuttx/syscall/syscall.csv - Describes the NuttX RTOS interface, and
nuttx/lib/lib.csv - Describes the NuttX C library interface.
There is a tool at nuttx/tools/mksymtab that will use these CSV files as
input to generate a generic symbol table. See nuttx/tools/README.txt for
more information about using the mksymtab tool.
