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*

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
COMPILE, ASSEMBLE, ARCHIVE, CLEAN, and MKDEP macros
When this makefile fragment runs, it will be passed TOPDIR which
is the path to the root directory of the build. This makefile
fragment may include ${TOPDIR}/.config to perform configuration
specific settings. For example, the CFLAGS will most likely be
different if CONFIG_DEBUG=y.
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.
The following variables are recognized by the build (you may
also include architecture/board-specific settings).
Architecture selection:
CONFIG_ARCH - Identifies the arch/ subdirectory
CONFIG_ARCH_name - For use in C code
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP - Identifies the arch/*/chip subdirectory
CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP_name - For use in C code
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD - Identifies the configs subdirectory and
hence, the board that supports the particular chip or SoC.
CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_name - For use in C code
CONFIG_ENDIAN_BIG - define if big endian (default is little
endian)
CONFIG_ARCH_NOINTC - define if the architecture does not
support an interrupt controller or otherwise cannot support
APIs like up_enable_irq() and up_disable_irq().
CONFIG_ARCH_IRQPRIO
Define if the architecture suports prioritizaton of interrupts
and the up_prioritize_irq() API.
Some architectures require a description of the RAM configuration:
CONFIG_DRAM_SIZE - Describes the installed DRAM.
CONFIG_DRAM_START - The start address of DRAM (physical)
CONFIG_DRAM_VSTART - The start address of DRAM (virtual)
General build options:
CONFIG_RRLOAD_BINARY - make the rrload binary format used with
BSPs from www.ridgerun.com using the tools/mkimage.sh script.
CONFIG_INTELHEX_BINARY - make the Intel HEX binary format
used with many different loaders using the GNU objcopy program
Should not be selected if you are not using the GNU toolchain.
CONFIG_MOTOROLA_SREC - make the Motorola S-Record binary format
used with many different loaders using the GNU objcopy program
Should not be selected if you are not using the GNU toolchain.
CONFIG_RAW_BINARY - make a raw binary format file used with many
different loaders using the GNU objcopy program. This option
should not be selected if you are not using the GNU toolchain.
CONFIG_HAVE_LIBM - toolchain supports libm.a
CONFIG_HAVE_CXX - toolchain supports C++ and CXX, CXXFLAGS, and
COMPILEXX have been defined in the configuratins Make.defs
file.
Building application code:
CONFIG_APPS_DIR - Identifies the directory that builds the
application to link with NuttX. Default: ../apps This symbol must be assigned
to the path to the application build directory *relative* to
the NuttX top build direcory. If you had an application
directory and the NuttX directory each in separate directory
trees like this:
build
|-nuttx
| |
| `- Makefile
`-application
|
`- Makefile
Then you would set CONFIG_APPS_DIR=../application.
The application direction must contain Makefile and this make
file must support the following targets:
- libapps$(LIBEXT) (usually libapps.a). libapps.a is a static
library ( an archive) that contains all of application object
files.
- clean. Do whatever is appropriate to clean the application
directories for a fresh build.
- distclean. Clean everthing -- auto-generated files, symbolic
links etc. -- so that the directory contents are the same as
the contents in your configuration management system.
This is only done when you change the NuttX configuration.
- depend. Make or update the application build dependencies.
When this application is invoked it will receive the setting TOPDIR like:
$(MAKE) -C $(CONFIG_APPS_DIR) TOPDIR="$(TOPDIR)" <target>
TOPDIR is the full path to the NuttX directory. It can be used, for
example, to include makefile fragments (e.g., .config or Make.defs)
or to set up include file paths.
Two-pass build options. If the 2 pass build option is selected, then these
options configure the make system build a extra link object. This link object
is assumed to be an incremental (relative) link object, but could be a static
library (archive) (some modification to this Makefile would be required if
CONFIG_PASS1_TARGET generates an archive). Pass 1 1ncremental (relative) link
objects should be put into the processor-specific source directory (where other
link objects will be created). If the pass1 obect is an archive, it could
go anywhere.
CONFIG_BUILD_2PASS - Enables the two pass build options.
When the two pass build option is enabled, the following also apply:
CONFIG_PASS1_TARGET - The name of the first pass build target. This
can be specific build target, a special build target (all, default, etc.)
or may just be left undefined.
CONFIG_PASS1_BUILDIR - The path, relative to the top NuttX build
directory to directory that contains the Makefile to build the
first pass object. The Makefile must support the following targets:
- The special target CONFIG_PASS1_TARGET (if defined)
- and the usual depend, clean, and distclean targets.
CONFIG_PASS1_OBJECT - May be used to include an extra, pass1 object
into the final link. This would probably be the object generated
from the CONFIG_PASS1_TARGET. It may be available at link time
in the arch/<architecture>/src directory.
General OS setup
CONFIG_DEBUG - enables built-in debug options
CONFIG_DEBUG_VERBOSE - enables verbose debug output
CONFIG_DEBUG_SYMBOLS - build without optimization and with
debug symbols (needed for use with a debugger).
CONFIG_DEBUG_SCHED - enable OS debug output (disabled by
default)
CONFIG_DEBUG_MM - enable memory management debug output
(disabled by default)
CONFIG_DEBUG_NET - enable network debug output (disabled
by default)
CONFIG_DEBUG_USB - enable usb debug output (disabled by
default)
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS - enable filesystem debug output (disabled
by default)
CONFIG_DEBUG_LIB - enable C library debug output (disabled
by default)
CONFIG_DEBUG_BINFMT - enable binary loader debug output (disabled
by default)
CONFIG_DEBUG_GRAPHICS - enable NX graphics debug output
(disabled by default)
CONFIG_ARCH_LOWPUTC - architecture supports low-level, boot
time console output
CONFIG_MM_REGIONS - If the architecture includes multiple
regions of memory to allocate from, this specifies the
number of memory regions that the memory manager must
handle and enables the API mm_addregion(start, end);
CONFIG_MM_SMALL - Each memory allocation has a small allocation
overhead. The size of that overhead is normally determined by
the "width" of the address support by the MCU. MCUs that support
16-bit addressability have smaller overhead than devices that
support 32-bit addressability. However, there are many MCUs
that support 32-bit addressability *but* have internal SRAM
of size less than or equal to 64Kb. In this case, CONFIG_MM_SMALL
can be defined so that those MCUs will also benefit from the
smaller, 16-bit-based allocation overhead.
CONFIG_MSEC_PER_TICK - The default system timer is 100Hz
or MSEC_PER_TICK=10. This setting may be defined to
inform NuttX that the processor hardware is providing
system timer interrupts at some interrupt interval other
than 10 msec.
CONFIG_RR_INTERVAL - The round robin timeslice will be set
this number of milliseconds; Round robin scheduling can
be disabled by setting this value to zero.
CONFIG_SCHED_INSTRUMENTATION - enables instrumentation in
scheduler to monitor system performance
CONFIG_TASK_NAME_SIZE - Specifies that maximum size of a
task name to save in the TCB. Useful if scheduler
instrumentation is selected. Set to zero to disable.
CONFIG_START_YEAR, CONFIG_START_MONTH, CONFIG_START_DAY -
Used to initialize the internal time logic.
CONFIG_GREGORIAN_TIME - Enables Gregorian time conversions.
You would only need this if you are concerned about accurate
time conversions in the past or in the distant future.
CONFIG_JULIAN_TIME - Enables Julian time conversions. You
would only need this if you are concerned about accurate
time conversion in the distand past. You must also define
CONFIG_GREGORIAN_TIME in order to use Julian time.
CONFIG_DEV_CONSOLE - Set if architecture-specific logic
provides /dev/console. Enables stdout, stderr, stdin.
CONFIG_MUTEX_TYPES - Set to enable support for recursive and
errorcheck mutexes. Enables pthread_mutexattr_settype().
CONFIG_PRIORITY_INHERITANCE - Set to enable support for
priority inheritance on mutexes and semaphores.
CONFIG_SEM_PREALLOCHOLDERS: This setting is only used if priority
inheritance is enabled. It defines the maximum number of
different threads (minus one) that can take counts on a
semaphore with priority inheritance support. This may be
set to zero if priority inheritance is disabled OR if you
are only using semaphores as mutexes (only one holder) OR
if no more than two threads participate using a counting
semaphore.
CONFIG_SEM_NNESTPRIO. If priority inheritance is enabled,
then this setting is the maximum number of higher priority
threads (minus 1) than can be waiting for another thread
to release a count on a semaphore. This value may be set
to zero if no more than one thread is expected to wait for
a semaphore.
CONFIG_FDCLONE_DISABLE. Disable cloning of all file descriptors
by task_create() when a new task is started. If set, all
files/drivers will appear to be closed in the new task.
CONFIG_FDCLONE_STDIO. Disable cloning of all but the first
three file descriptors (stdin, stdout, stderr) by task_create()
when a new task is started. If set, all files/drivers will
appear to be closed in the new task except for stdin, stdout,
and stderr.
CONFIG_SDCLONE_DISABLE. Disable cloning of all socket
desciptors by task_create() when a new task is started. If
set, all sockets will appear to be closed in the new task.
CONFIG_NXFLAT. Enable support for the NXFLAT binary format.
This format will support execution of NuttX binaries located
in a ROMFS filesystem (see examples/nxflat).
CONFIG_SCHED_WORKQUEUE. Create a dedicated "worker" thread to
handle delayed processing from interrupt handlers. This feature
is required for some drivers but, if there are not complaints,
can be safely disabled. The worker thread also performs
garbage collection -- completing any delayed memory deallocations
from interrupt handlers. If the worker thread is disabled,
then that clean will be performed by the IDLE thread instead
(which runs at the lowest of priority and may not be appropriate
if memory reclamation is of high priority). If CONFIG_SCHED_WORKQUEUE
is enabled, then the following options can also be used:
CONFIG_SCHED_WORKPRIORITY - The execution priority of the worker
thread. Default: 50
CONFIG_SCHED_WORKPERIOD - How often the worker thread checks for
work in units of microseconds. Default: 50*1000 (50 MS).
CONFIG_SCHED_WORKSTACKSIZE - The stack size allocated for the worker
thread. Default: CONFIG_IDLETHREAD_STACKSIZE.
CONFIG_SIG_SIGWORK - The signal number that will be used to wake-up
the worker thread. Default: 4
Kernel build options:
CONFIG_NUTTX_KERNEL - Builds NuttX as a separately compiled kernel.
CONFIG_SYS_RESERVED - Reserved system call values for use
by architecture-specific logic.
OS setup related to on-demand paging:
CONFIG_PAGING - If set =y in your configation file, this setting will
enable the on-demand paging feature as described in
http://www.nuttx.org/NuttXDemandPaging.html.
If CONFIG_PAGING is selected, then you will probabaly need CONFIG_BUILD_2PASS to
correctly position the code and the following configuration options also apply:
CONFIG_PAGING_PAGESIZE - The size of one managed page. This must
be a value supported by the processor's memory management unit.
CONFIG_PAGING_NLOCKED - This is the number of locked pages in the
memory map. The locked address region will then be from
CONFIG_DRAM_VSTART through (CONFIG_DRAM_VSTART +
CONFIG_PAGING_PAGESIZE*CONFIG_PAGING_NLOCKED)
CONFIG_PAGING_LOCKED_PBASE and CONFIG_PAGING_LOCKED_VBASE - These
may be defined to determine the base address of the locked page
regions. If neither are defined, the logic will be set the bases
to CONFIG_DRAM_START and CONFIG_DRAM_VSTART (i.e., it assumes
that the base address of the locked region is at the beginning
of RAM).
NOTE: In some architectures, it may be necessary to take some
memory from the beginning of this region for vectors or for a
page table. In such cases, CONFIG_PAGING_LOCKED_P/VBASE should
take that into consideration to prevent overlapping the locked
memory region and the system data at the beginning of SRAM.
CONFIG_PAGING_NPPAGED - This is the number of physical pages
available to support the paged text region. This paged region
begins at (CONFIG_PAGING_LOCKED_PBASE + CONFIG_PAGING_PAGESIZE*CONFIG_PAGING_NPPAGED)
and continues until (CONFIG_PAGING_LOCKED_PBASE + CONFIG_PAGING_PAGESIZE*(CONFIG_PAGING_NLOCKED +
CONFIG_PAGING_NPPAGED)
CONFIG_PAGING_NVPAGED - This actual size of the paged text region
(in pages). This is also the number of virtual pages required to
support the entire paged region. The on-demand paging feature is
intended to support only the case where the virtual paged text
area is much larger the available physical pages. Otherwise, why
would you enable on-demand paging?
CONFIG_PAGING_NDATA - This is the number of data pages in the memory
map. The data region will extend to the end of RAM unless overridden
by a setting in the configuration file.
NOTE: In some architectures, it may be necessary to take some memory
from the end of RAM for page tables or other system usage. The
configuration settings and linker directives must be cognizant of that:
CONFIG_PAGING_NDATA should be defined to prevent the data region from
extending all the way to the end of memory.
CONFIG_PAGING_DEFPRIO - The default, minimum priority of the page fill
worker thread. The priority of the page fill work thread will be boosted
boosted dynmically so that it matches the priority of the task on behalf
of which it peforms the fill. This defines the minimum priority that
will be used. Default: 50.
CONFIG_PAGING_STACKSIZE - Defines the size of the allocated stack
for the page fill worker thread. Default: 1024.
CONFIG_PAGING_BLOCKINGFILL - The architecture specific up_fillpage()
function may be blocking or non-blocking. If defined, this setting
indicates that the up_fillpage() implementation will block until the
transfer is completed. Default: Undefined (non-blocking).
CONFIG_PAGING_WORKPERIOD - The page fill worker thread will wake periodically
even if there is no mapping to do. This selection controls that wake-up
period (in microseconds). This wake-up a failsafe that will handle any
cases where a single is lost (that would really be a bug and shouldn't
happen!) and also supports timeouts for case of non-blocking, asynchronous
fills (see CONFIG_PAGING_TIMEOUT_TICKS).
CONFIG_PAGING_TIMEOUT_TICKS - If defined, the implementation will monitor
the (asynchronous) page fill logic. If the fill takes longer than this
number if microseconds, then a fatal error will be declared.
Default: No timeouts monitored.
Some architecture-specific settings. Defaults are architecture specific.
If you don't know what you are doing, it is best to leave these undefined
and try the system defaults:
CONFIG_PAGING_VECPPAGE - This the physical address of the page in
memory to be mapped to the vector address.
CONFIG_PAGING_VECL2PADDR - This is the physical address of the L2
page table entry to use for the vector mapping.
CONFIG_PAGING_VECL2VADDR - This is the virtual address of the L2
page table entry to use for the vector mapping.
CONFIG_PAGING_BINPATH - If CONFIG_PAGING_BINPATH is defined, then it
is the full path to a file on a mounted file system that contains
a binary image of the NuttX executable. Pages will be filled by
reading from offsets into this file that correspond to virtual
fault addresses.
CONFIG_PAGING_MOUNTPT - If CONFIG_PAGING_BINPATH is defined, additional
options may be provided to control the initialization of underlying
devices. CONFIG_PAGING_MOUNTPT identifies the mountpoint to be used
if a device is mounted.
CONFIG_PAGING_MINOR - Some mount operations require a "minor" number
to identify the specific device instance. Default: 0
CONFIG_PAGING_SDSLOT - If CONFIG_PAGING_BINPATH is defined, additional
options may be provided to control the initialization of underlying
devices. CONFIG_PAGING_SDSLOT identifies the slot number of the SD
device to initialize. This must be undefined if SD is not being used.
This should be defined to be zero for the typical device that has
only a single slot (See CONFIG_MMCSD_NSLOTS). If defined,
CONFIG_PAGING_SDSLOT will instruct certain board-specific logic to
initialize the media in this SD slot.
CONFIG_PAGING_M25PX - Use the m25px.c FLASH driver. If this is selected,
then the MTD interface to the M25Px device will be used to support
paging.
CONFIG_PAGING_AT45DB - Use the at45db.c FLASH driver. If this is selected,
then the MTD interface to the Atmel AT45DB device will be used to support
paging.
CONFIG_PAGING_BINOFFSET - If CONFIG_PAGING_M25PX or is CONFIG_PAGING_AT45DB
defined then CONFIG_PAGING_BINOFFSET will be used to specify the offset
in bytes into the FLASH device where the NuttX binary image is located.
Default: 0
CONFIG_PAGING_SPIPORT - If CONFIG_PAGING_M25PX CONFIG_PAGING_AT45DB is
defined and the device has multiple SPI busses (ports), then this
configuration should be set to indicate which SPI port the device is
connected. Default: 0
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.
There are certain dependency relationships in these features.
o mq_notify logic depends on signals to awaken tasks
waiting for queues to become full or empty.
o pthread_condtimedwait() depends on signals to wake
up waiting tasks.
CONFIG_DISABLE_CLOCK, CONFIG_DISABLE_POSIX_TIMERS, CONFIG_DISABLE_PTHREAD.
CONFIG_DISABLE_SIGNALS, CONFIG_DISABLE_MQUEUE, CONFIG_DISABLE_MOUNTPOUNT,
CONFIG_DISABLE_ENVIRON, CONFIG_DISABLE_POLL
Misc libc settings
CONFIG_NOPRINTF_FIELDWIDTH - sprintf-related logic is a
little smaller if we do not support fieldwidthes
CONFIG_LIBC_FLOATINGPOINT - By default, floating point
support in printf, sscanf, etc. is disabled.
Allow for architecture optimized implementations
The architecture can provide optimized versions of the
following to improve system performance
CONFIG_ARCH_MEMCPY, CONFIG_ARCH_MEMCMP, CONFIG_ARCH_MEMMOVE
CONFIG_ARCH_MEMSET, CONFIG_ARCH_STRCMP, CONFIG_ARCH_STRCPY
CONFIG_ARCH_STRNCPY, CONFIG_ARCH_STRLEN, CONFIG_ARCH_STRNLEN
CONFIG_ARCH_BZERO
The architecture may provide custom versions of certain
standard header files:
CONFIG_ARCH_MATH_H, CONFIG_ARCH_STDBOOL_H, CONFIG_ARCH_STDINT_H
CONFIG_ARCH_ROMGETC - In Harvard architectures, data accesses and
instruction accesses occur on different busses, perhaps
concurrently. All data accesses are performed on the data bus
unless special machine instructions are used to read data
from the instruction address space. Also, in the typical
MCU, the available SRAM data memory is much smaller that the
non-volatile FLASH instruction memory. So if the application
requires many constant strings, the only practical solution may
be to store those constant strings in FLASH memory where they
can only be accessed using architecture-specific machine
instructions.
If CONFIG_ARCH_ROMGETC is defined, then the architecture logic
must export the function up_romgetc(). up_romgetc() will simply
read one byte of data from the instruction space.
If CONFIG_ARCH_ROMGETC, certain C stdio functions are effected:
(1) All format strings in printf, fprintf, sprintf, etc. are
assumed to lie in FLASH (string arguments for %s are still assumed
to reside in SRAM). And (2), the string argument to puts and fputs
is assumed to reside in FLASH. Clearly, these assumptions may have
to modified for the particular needs of your environment. There
is no "one-size-fits-all" solution for this problem.
Sizes of configurable things (0 disables)
CONFIG_MAX_TASKS - The maximum number of simultaneously
active tasks. This value must be a power of two.
CONFIG_NPTHREAD_KEYS - The number of items of thread-
specific data that can be retained
CONFIG_NFILE_DESCRIPTORS - The maximum number of file
descriptors (one for each open)
CONFIG_NFILE_STREAMS - The maximum number of streams that
can be fopen'ed
CONFIG_NAME_MAX - The maximum size of a file name.
CONFIG_STDIO_BUFFER_SIZE - Size of the buffer to allocate
on fopen. (Only if CONFIG_NFILE_STREAMS > 0)
CONFIG_STDIO_LINEBUFFER - If standard C buffered I/O is enabled
(CONFIG_STDIO_BUFFER_SIZE > 0), then this option may be added
to force automatic, line-oriented flushing the output buffer
for putc(), fputc(), putchar(), puts(), fputs(), printf(),
fprintf(), and vfprintf(). When a newline is encountered in
the output string, the output buffer will be flushed. This
(slightly) increases the NuttX footprint but supports the kind
of behavior that people expect for printf().
CONFIG_NUNGET_CHARS - Number of characters that can be
buffered by ungetc() (Only if CONFIG_NFILE_STREAMS > 0)
CONFIG_PREALLOC_MQ_MSGS - The number of pre-allocated message
structures. The system manages a pool of preallocated
message structures to minimize dynamic allocations
CONFIG_PREALLOC_IGMPGROUPS - Pre-allocated IGMP groups are used
only if needed from interrupt level group created (by the IGMP server).
Default: 4.
CONFIG_MQ_MAXMSGSIZE - Message structures are allocated with
a fixed payload size given by this settin (does not include
other message structure overhead.
CONFIG_PREALLOC_WDOGS - The number of pre-allocated watchdog
structures. The system manages a pool of preallocated
watchdog structures to minimize dynamic allocations
CONFIG_DEV_PIPE_SIZE - Size, in bytes, of the buffer to allocated
for pipe and FIFO support
Filesystem configuration
CONFIG_FS_FAT - Enable FAT filesystem support
CONFIG_FAT_SECTORSIZE - Max supported sector size
CONFIG_FAT_LCNAMES - Enable use of the NT-style upper/lower case 8.3
file name support.
CONFIG_FAT_LFN - Enable FAT long file names. NOTE: Microsoft claims
patents on FAT long file name technology. Please read the
disclaimer in the top-level COPYING file and only enable this
feature if you understand these issues.
CONFIG_FAT_MAXFNAME - If CONFIG_FAT_LFN is defined, then the
default, maximum long file name is 255 bytes. This can eat up
a lot of memory (especially stack space). If you are willing
to live with some non-standard, short long file names, then
define this value. A good choice would be the same value as
selected for CONFIG_NAME_MAX which will limit the visibility
of longer file names anyway.
CONFIG_FS_NXFFS: Enable NuttX FLASH file system (NXFF) support.
CONFIG_NXFFS_ERASEDSTATE: The erased state of FLASH.
This must have one of the values of 0xff or 0x00.
Default: 0xff.
CONFIG_NXFFS_PACKTHRESHOLD: When packing flash file data,
don't both with file chunks smaller than this number of data bytes.
Default: 32.
CONFIG_NXFFS_MAXNAMLEN: The maximum size of an NXFFS file name.
Default: 255.
CONFIG_NXFFS_PACKTHRESHOLD: When packing flash file data,
don't both with file chunks smaller than this number of data bytes.
Default: 32.
CONFIG_NXFFS_TAILTHRESHOLD: clean-up can either mean
packing files together toward the end of the file or, if file are
deleted at the end of the file, clean up can simply mean erasing
the end of FLASH memory so that it can be re-used again. However,
doing this can also harm the life of the FLASH part because it can
mean that the tail end of the FLASH is re-used too often. This
threshold determines if/when it is worth erased the tail end of FLASH
and making it available for re-use (and possible over-wear).
Default: 8192.
CONFIG_FS_ROMFS - Enable ROMFS filesystem support
CONFIG_FS_RAMMAP - For file systems that do not support XIP, this
option will enable a limited form of memory mapping that is
implemented by copying whole files into memory.
SPI driver
CONFIG_SPI_OWNBUS - Set if there is only one active device
on the SPI bus. No locking or SPI configuration will be performed.
It is not necessary for clients to lock, re-configure, etc..
CONFIG_SPI_EXCHANGE - Driver supports a single exchange method
(vs a recvblock() and sndblock ()methods)
SPI-based MMC/SD driver
CONFIG_MMCSD_NSLOTS - Number of MMC/SD slots supported by the
driver. Default is one.
CONFIG_MMCSD_READONLY - Provide read-only access. Default is
Read/Write
CONFIG_MMCSD_SPICLOCK - Maximum SPI clock to drive MMC/SD card.
Default is 20MHz.
SDIO/SDHC driver:
CONFIG_SDIO_DMA - SDIO driver supports DMA
CONFIG_SDIO_MUXBUS - Set this SDIO interface if the SDIO interface
or hardware resources are shared with other drivers.
CONFIG_SDIO_WIDTH_D1_ONLY - Select 1-bit transfer mode. Default:
4-bit transfer mode.
SDIO-based MMC/SD driver
CONFIG_FS_READAHEAD - Enable read-ahead buffering
CONFIG_FS_WRITEBUFFER - Enable write buffering
CONFIG_MMCSD_MMCSUPPORT - Enable support for MMC cards
CONFIG_MMCSD_HAVECARDDETECT - SDIO driver card detection is
100% accurate
RiT P14201 OLED driver
CONFIG_LCD_P14201 - Enable P14201 support
CONFIG_P14201_SPIMODE - Controls the SPI mode
CONFIG_P14201_FREQUENCY - Define to use a different bus frequency
CONFIG_P14201_NINTERFACES - Specifies the number of physical P14201
devices that will be supported.
CONFIG_P14201_FRAMEBUFFER - If defined, accesses will be performed
using an in-memory copy of the OLEDs GDDRAM. This cost of this
buffer is 128 * 96 / 2 = 6Kb. If this is defined, then the driver
will be fully functional. If not, then it will have the following
limitations:
- Reading graphics memory cannot be supported, and
- All pixel writes must be aligned to byte boundaries.
The latter limitation effectively reduces the 128x96 disply to 64x96.
Nokia 6100 Configuration Settings:
CONFIG_NOKIA6100_SPIMODE - Controls the SPI mode
CONFIG_NOKIA6100_FREQUENCY - Define to use a different bus frequency
CONFIG_NOKIA6100_NINTERFACES - Specifies the number of physical Nokia
6100 devices that will be supported.
CONFIG_NOKIA6100_BPP - Device supports 8, 12, and 16 bits per pixel.
CONFIG_NOKIA6100_S1D15G10 - Selects the Epson S1D15G10 display controller
CONFIG_NOKIA6100_PCF8833 - Selects the Phillips PCF8833 display controller

the Phillips controller.
CONFIG_LCD_MAXPOWER - Maximum value of backlight setting. The backlight
control is managed outside of the 6100 driver so this value has no
meaning to the driver. Board-specific logic may place restrictions on
this value.
Input Devices
CONFIG_INPUT
Enables general support for input devices
CONFIG_INPUT_TSC2007
If CONFIG_INPUT is selected, then this setting will enable building
of the TI TSC2007 touchscreen driver.
CONFIG_TSC2007_MULTIPLE
Normally only a single TI TSC2007 touchscreen is used. But if
there are multiple TSC2007 touchscreens, this setting will enable
multiple touchscreens with the same driver.
Analog Devices

CONFIG_NET_NOINTS -- CONFIG_NET_NOINT indicates that uIP not called from
the interrupt level. If CONFIG_NET_NOINTS is defined, critical sections
will be managed with semaphores; Otherwise, it assumed that uIP will be
called from interrupt level handling and critical sections will be
managed by enabling and disabling interrupts.
CONFIG_NET_MULTIBUFFER - Traditionally, uIP has used a single buffer
for all incoming and outgoing traffic. If this configuration is
selected, then the driver can manage multiple I/O buffers and can,
for example, be filling one input buffer while sending another
output buffer. Or, as another example, the driver may support
queuing of concurrent input/ouput and output transfers for better
performance.

SLIP Driver. SLIP supports point-to-point IP communications over a serial
port. The default data link layer for uIP is Ethernet. If CONFIG_NET_SLIP
is defined in the NuttX configuration file, then SLIP will be supported.
The basic differences between the SLIP and Ethernet configurations is that
when SLIP is selected:
* The link level header (that comes before the IP header) is omitted.
* All MAC address processing is suppressed.
* ARP is disabled.
If CONFIG_NET_SLIP is not selected, then Ethernet will be used (there is
no need to define anything special in the configuration file to use
Ethernet -- it is the default).
CONFIG_NET_SLIP -- Enables building of the SLIP driver. SLIP requires
at least one IP protocols selected and the following additional
network settings: CONFIG_NET_NOINTS and CONFIG_NET_MULTIBUFFER.
CONFIG_NET_BUFSIZE *must* be set to 296. Other optional configuration
settings that affect the SLIP driver: CONFIG_NET_STATISTICS.
Default: Ethernet
If SLIP is selected, then the following SLIP options are available:
CONFIG_CLIP_NINTERFACES -- Selects the number of physical SLIP
interfaces to support. Default: 1
CONFIG_SLIP_STACKSIZE -- Select the stack size of the SLIP RX and
TX tasks. Default: 2048
CONFIG_SLIP_DEFPRIO - The priority of the SLIP RX and TX tasks.
Default: 128
UIP Network Utilities
CONFIG_NET_DHCP_LIGHT - Reduces size of DHCP
CONFIG_NET_RESOLV_ENTRIES - Number of resolver entries
THTTPD
CONFIG_THTTPD_PORT - THTTPD Server port number
CONFIG_THTTPD_IPADDR - Server IP address (no host name)
CONFIG_THTTPD_SERVER_ADDRESS - SERVER_ADDRESS: response
CONFIG_THTTPD_SERVER_SOFTWARE - SERVER_SOFTWARE: response
CONFIG_THTTPD_PATH - Server working directory
CONFIG_THTTPD_CGI_PATH - Path to CGI executables
CONFIG_THTTPD_CGI_PATTERN - Only CGI programs matching this
pattern will be executed. In fact, if this value is not defined
then no CGI logic will be built.
CONFIG_THTTPD_CGI_PRIORITY - Provides the priority of CGI child tasks
CONFIG_THTTPD_CGI_STACKSIZE - Provides the initial stack size of
CGI child task (will be overridden by the stack size in the NXFLAT
header)
CONFIG_THTTPD_CGI_BYTECOUNT - Byte output limit for CGI tasks.
CONFIG_THTTPD_CGI_TIMELIMIT - How many seconds to allow CGI programs
to run before killing them.
CONFIG_THTTPD_CHARSET- The default character set name to use with
text MIME types.
CONFIG_THTTPD_IOBUFFERSIZE -
CONFIG_THTTPD_INDEX_NAMES - A list of index filenames to check. The
files are searched for in this order.
CONFIG_AUTH_FILE - The file to use for authentication. If this is
defined then thttpd checks for this file in the local directory
before every fetch. If the file exists then authentication is done,
otherwise the fetch proceeds as usual. If you leave this undefined
then thttpd will not implement authentication at all and will not
check for auth files, which saves a bit of CPU time. A typical
value is ".htpasswd"
CONFIG_THTTPD_LISTEN_BACKLOG - The listen() backlog queue length.
CONFIG_THTTPD_LINGER_MSEC - How many milliseconds to leave a connection
open while doing a lingering close.
CONFIG_THTTPD_OCCASIONAL_MSEC - How often to run the occasional
cleanup job.
CONFIG_THTTPD_IDLE_READ_LIMIT_SEC - How many seconds to allow for
reading the initial request on a new connection.
CONFIG_THTTPD_IDLE_SEND_LIMIT_SEC - How many seconds before an
idle connection gets closed.
CONFIG_THTTPD_TILDE_MAP1 and CONFIG_THTTPD_TILDE_MAP2 - Tilde mapping.
Many URLs use ~username to indicate a user's home directory. thttpd
provides two options for mapping this construct to an actual filename.
1) Map ~username to <prefix>/username. This is the recommended choice.
Each user gets a subdirectory in the main web tree, and the tilde
construct points there. The prefix could be something like "users",
or it could be empty.
2) Map ~username to <user's homedir>/<postfix>. The postfix would be
the name of a subdirectory off of the user's actual home dir,
something like "public_html".
You can also leave both options undefined, and thttpd will not do
anything special about tildes. Enabling both options is an error.
Typical values, if they're defined, are "users" for
CONFIG_THTTPD_TILDE_MAP1 and "public_html"forCONFIG_THTTPD_TILDE_MAP2.
CONFIG_THTTPD_GENERATE_INDICES
CONFIG_THTTPD_URLPATTERN - If defined, then it will be used to match
and verify referrers.

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>
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>
