    Each MTD device driver must implement an instance of <code>struct mtd_dev_s</code>.
    That structure defines a call table with the following methods:
    <p>
      Erase the specified erase blocks (units are erase blocks):
    </p>
    <ul>
     <p><code>int (*erase)(FAR struct mtd_dev_s *dev, off_t startblock, size_t nblocks);</code></p>
    </ul>
    <p>
      Read/write from the specified read/write blocks:
    </p?
    <ul>
     <p><code>ssize_t (*bread)(FAR struct mtd_dev_s *dev, off_t startblock, size_t nblocks, FAR uint8_t *buffer);</code><br>
     <code>ssize_t (*bwrite)(FAR struct mtd_dev_s *dev, off_t startblock, size_t nblocks, FAR const uint8_t *buffer);</code></p>
    </ul>
    <p>
      Some devices may support byte oriented reads (optional).
      Most MTD devices are inherently block oriented so byte-oriented writing is not supported.
      It is recommended that low-level drivers not support read() if it requires buffering.
    </p>
    <ul>
     <p><code>ssize_t (*read)(FAR struct mtd_dev_s *dev, off_t offset, size_t nbytes, FAR uint8_t *buffer);</code></p>
    </ul>
    <p>
      Support other, less frequently used commands:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li><code>MTDIOC_GEOMETRY</code>:  Get MTD geometry</li>
      <li><code>MTDIOC_XIPBASE:</code>: Convert block to physical address for eXecute-In-Place</li>
      <li><code>MTDIOC_BULKERASE</code>: Erase the entire device</li>
    </ul>
    <p>
      is provided via a sinble <code>ioctl</code> method (see <code>include/nuttx/ioctl.h</code>):
    </p>
    <ul>
     <p><code>int (*ioctl)(FAR struct mtd_dev_s *dev, int cmd, unsigned long arg);</code></p>
    </ul>
  </li>

    <b>Binding MTD Drivers</b>.
    MTD drivers are not normally directly accessed by user code, but are usually bound to another,
    higher level device driver.
    In general, the binding sequence is:
    <ul>
      <li>Get an instance of <code>struct mtd_dev_s</code> from the hardware-specific MTD device driver, and </li>
      <li>Provide that instance to the initialization method of the higher level device driver.</li>

    <b>Binding SDIO Drivers</b>.
    SDIO drivers are not normally directly accessed by user code, but are usually bound to another,

<p>
  The following variables are recognized by the build (you may
  also include architecture-specific settings).
</p>

<h2>Architecture selection</h2>
<p>
  The following configuration items select the architecture, chip, and
  board configuration for the build.
</p>
<ul>
  <li><code>CONFIG_ARCH</code>:
    Identifies the arch subdirectory</li>
  <li><code>CONFIG_ARCH_name</code>:
    For use in C code</li>
  <li><code>CONFIG_ARCH_CHIP</code>:
    Identifies the arch/*/chip subdirectory</li>

  <li><code>CONFIG_ARCH_NOINTC</code>:
     Define if the architecture does not support an interrupt controller
     or otherwise cannot support APIs like up_enable_irq() and up_disable_irq().</li>
  <li><code>CONFIG_ARCH_IRQPRIO</code>:
     Define if the architecture supports prioritization of interrupts and the
     up_prioritize_irq() API.</li>
</ul>

<p>
  Some architectures require a description of the RAM configuration:
</p>
<ul>
  <li><code>CONFIG_DRAM_SIZE</code>:
    Describes the installed DRAM.</li>
  <li><code>CONFIG_DRAM_START</code>:
    The start address of DRAM (physical)</li>
  <li><code>CONFIG_DRAM_VSTART</code>:
    The start address of DRAM (virtual)</li>
</ul>

<h2>Build Options</h2>
<p>
  General build options:
</p>
<ul>
  <li><code>CONFIG_RRLOAD_BINARY</code>:
    Make the rrload binary format used with BSPs from <a href="www.ridgerun.com">ridgerun.com</a>
    using the <code>tools/mkimage.sh</code> script.
  </li>
  <li><code>CONFIG_INTELHEX_BINARY</code>:
    Make the Intel HEX binary format used with many different loaders using the GNU objcopy program
    This option should not be selected if you are not using the GNU toolchain.
  </li>
  <li><code>CONFIG_MOTOROLA_SREC</code>:
    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.
  </li>
  <li><code>CONFIG_RAW_BINARY</code>:
    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.
  </li>
  <li><code>CONFIG_HAVE_LIBM</code>:
    Toolchain supports libm.a
  </li>
  <li><code>CONFIG_HAVE_CXX</code>:
    Toolchain supports C++ and <code>CXX</code>, <code>CXXFLAGS</code>, and <code>COMPILEXX</code>
    have been defined in the configurations <code>Make.defs</code> file.
  </li>
</ul>
<p>
  Building application code:
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <p>
      <code>CONFIG_APP_DIR</code>: Ldentifies the directory that builds the application to link with NuttX.
      This symbol must be assigned to the path to the application build directory <i>relative</i> to the NuttX top build direcory.
      As an an example, there are several example applicatins in the NuttX <code>examples/</code> sub-directory.
      To use one of these example applications, say <code>nsh</code>, you would set <code>CONFIG_APP_DIR=examples/nsh</code>.
      If you had an application directory and the NuttX directory both within another directory like this:
<ul><pre>
build
 |-nuttx
 |  |
 |  `- Makefile
 `-application
    |
    `- Makefile
</pre></ul>
      Then you would set <code>CONFIG_APP_DIR=../application</code>.
    </p>
    <p>
      The application direction must contain <code>Makefile</code> and this make file must support the following targets:
      <ul>
        <li>
          <code>libapp$(LIBEXT)</code> (usually <code>libapp.a</code>).
          <code>libapp.a</code> is a static library ( an archive) that contains all of application object files.
        </li>
        <li>
          <code>clean</code>.
          Do whatever is appropriate to clean the application directories for a fresh build.
        </li>
        <li>
          <code>distclean</code>.
          Clean everthing -- auto-generated files, symbolic links etc. -- so that the directory contents are the same as the contents in your configuration management system.
          This is only done when you change the NuttX configuration.
        </li>
        <li>
          <code>depend</code>.
          Make or update the application build dependencies.
        </li>
      </ul>
    </p>
    <p>
      When this application is invoked it will receive the setting <code>TOPDIR</code> like:
      <ul>
        <code>$(MAKE) -C $(CONFIG_APP_DIR) TOPDIR=&quot;$(TOPDIR)&quot;</code> &lt;target&gt;
      </ul>
    </p>
    <p>
      <code>TOPDIR</code> is the full path to the NuttX directory.
      It can be used, for example, to include makefile fragments (e.g., <code>.config</code> or <code>Make.defs</code>) or to set up include file paths.
    </p>
  </li>
</ul>
<p>
  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_OBJECT is an archive).
  Pass 1 1ncremental (relative) link objects should be put into the processor-specific source directory 
  where other link objects will be created - ff the pass1 obect is an archive, it could	go anywhere.
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_BUILD_2PASS</code>:
      Enables the two pass build options.
  </li>
</ul>
<p>
  When the two pass build option is enabled, the following also apply:
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PASS1_OBJECT</code>: The name of the first pass object.
  </li>
  <li><code>CONFIG_PASS1_BUILDIR</code>:
  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:
  <ul>
    <li>The special target <code>arch/$(CONFIG_ARCH)/src/$(CONFIG_PASS1_OBJECT)</code>, and</li>
    <li>The usual depend, clean, and distclean targets.</li>
  </ul>
</ul>

  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_ARCH_LOWPUTC</code>: architecture supports low-level, boot
    time console output
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_MM_REGIONS</code>: 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);
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_TICKS_PER_MSEC</code>: The default system timer is 100Hz
    or <code>TICKS_PER_MSEC</code>=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.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_RR_INTERVAL</code>: The round robin time slice will be set
    this number of milliseconds;  Round robin scheduling can

  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_START_YEAR</code>, <code>CONFIG_START_MONTH</code>, <code>CONFIG_START_DAY</code> -
    Used to initialize the internal time logic.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_GREGORIAN_TIME</code>: Enables Gregorian time conversions.
    You would only need this if you are concerned about accurate time conversions in
    the recent past or in the distant future.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_JULIAN_TIME</code>: 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 <code>CONFIG_GREGORIAN_TIME</code> in order to use Julian time.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_DEV_CONSOLE</code>: Set if architecture-specific logic
    provides /dev/console.  Enables stdout, stderr, stdin.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_MUTEX_TYPES</code>: Set to enable support for recursive and
    errorcheck mutexes.  Enables <code>pthread_mutexattr_settype()</code>.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PRIORITY_INHERITANCE</code>: Set to enable support for
    priority inheritance on mutexes and semaphores.
    Priority inheritance is a strategy of addressing
    <a href="NuttxUserGuide.html#priorityinversion"><i>priority inversion</i></a>.
    Details of the NuttX implementation of priority inheritance is
    discussed <a href="NuttxUserGuide.html#priorityinheritance">elsewhere</a>.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_SEM_PREALLOCHOLDERS</code>: 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.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_SEM_NNESTPRIO</code>: 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.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_FDCLONE_DISABLE</code>: 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.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_FDCLONE_STDIO</code>: 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.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_SDCLONE_DISABLE</code>: 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.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_NXFLAT</code>: Enable support for the NXFLAT binary format.
    This format will support execution of NuttX binaries located
    in a ROMFS filesystem (see <code>examples/nxflat</code>).
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_SCHED_WORKQUEUE</code>: 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:
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_SCHED_WORKPRIORITY</code>: The execution priority of the worker
    thread.  Default: 50
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_SCHED_WORKPERIOD</code>: How often the worker thread checks for
    work in units of microseconds.  Default: 50*1000 (50 MS).
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_SCHED_WORKSTACKSIZE</code>: The stack size allocated for the worker
    thread.  Default: CONFIG_IDLETHREAD_STACKSIZE.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_SIG_SIGWORK</code>: The signal number that will be used to wake-up
    the worker thread.  Default: 4
  </li>
</ul>

<p>
 OS setup related to on-demand paging:
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING</code>: If set =y in your configation file, this setting will
          enable the on-demand paging feature as described in
          <a href="http://www.nuttx.org/NuttXDemandPaging.html">http://www.nuttx.org/NuttXDemandPaging.html</a>.
  </li>
</ul>

<p>
  If CONFIG_PAGING is selected, then you will probabaly need <code>CONFIG_BUILD_2PASS</code> to correctly position
  the code and the following configuration options also apply:
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_PAGESIZE</code>:
    The size of one managed page.
    This must be a value supported by the processor's memory management unit.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_NLOCKED</code>:
    This is the number of locked pages in the memory map.
    The locked address region will then be from <code>CONFIG_DRAM_VSTART</code> through
    (<code>CONFIG_DRAM_VSTART</code> + <code>CONFIG_PAGING_PAGESIZE</code>*<code>CONFIG_PAGING_NLOCKED</code>)
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_LOCKED_PBASE</code> and <code>CONFIG_PAGING_LOCKED_VBASE</code>:
    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 <code>CONFIG_DRAM_START</code>
    and <code>CONFIG_DRAM_VSTART</code> (i.e., it assumes that the base address of the locked
    region is at the beginning of RAM).
    <b>NOTE</b>:
    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, <code>CONFIG_PAGING_LOCKED_P/VBASE</code> should take that into consideration
    to prevent overlapping the locked memory region and the system data at the beginning of SRAM.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_NPPAGED</code>:
    This is the number of physical pages available to support the paged text region.
    This paged region begins at
    (<code>CONFIG_PAGING_LOCKED_PBASE</code> + <code>CONFIG_PAGING_PAGESIZE</code>*<code>CONFIG_PAGING_NPPAGED</code>)
    and continues until
    (<code>CONFIG_PAGING_LOCKED_PBASE</code> + <code>CONFIG_PAGING_PAGESIZE</code>*(<code>CONFIG_PAGING_NLOCKED</code> +
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_NPPAGED</code>)
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_NVPAGED</code>:
    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?
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_NDATA</code>:
    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.
    <b>NOTE</b>:
    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:
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_NDATA</code> should be defined to prevent the data region from extending all the way to the end of memory. 
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_DEFPRIO</code>:
    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.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_STACKSIZE</code>:
    Defines the size of the allocated stack for the page fill worker thread. Default: 1024.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_BLOCKINGFILL</code>:
    The architecture specific <code>up_fillpage()</code> function may be blocking or non-blocking.
    If defined, this setting indicates that the <code>up_fillpage()</code> implementation will block until the
    transfer is completed. Default:  Undefined (non-blocking).
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_WORKPERIOD</code>:
    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!)

  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_TIMEOUT_TICKS</code>:
    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.
  </li>
  <p>
    Some architecture-specific settings. 
    Defaults are architecture specific.
