The port for the NXP LPC3131 on the <a href="http://www.embeddedartists.com/products/kits/lpc3131_kit.php">Embedded Artists EA3131</a>
development board was first released in NuttX-5.1 with a GNU arm-elf or arm-eabi toolchain* under Linux or Cygwin
The basic EA3131 port is complete and verified in NuttX-5.2
This basic port includes basic boot-up, serial console, and timer interrupts.
This port was extended in NuttX 5.3 with a USB high speed driver contributed by David Hewson.
David also contributed I2C and SPI drivers plus several important LPC313x USB bug fixes
that appear in the NuttX 5.6 release.
This port has been verified using the NuttX OS test, USB serial and mass storage
tests and includes a working implementation of the NuttShell (<a href="NuttShell.html">NSH</a>).
<p>
Support for <a href="NuttXDemandPaging.html">on-demand paging</a> has been developed for the EA3131.
That support would all execute of a program in SPI FLASH by paging code sections out of SPI flash as needed.
However, as of this writing, I have not had the opportunity to verify this new feature.

verified using the NuttX OS test (<code>examples/ostest</code>).
Configurations available include include a verified NuttShell (NSH) configuration

The NSH configuration supports the Nucleus2G's microSD slot and additional configurations
are available to exercise the the USB serial and USB mass storage devices.
However, due to some technical reasons, neither the SPI nor the USB device drivers are fully verified.
(Although they have since been verfiied on other platforms; this needs to be revisited on the Nucleus2G).
Support for the mbed board was contributed by Dave Marples and released in NuttX-5.11.
This port includes a NuttX OS test configuration (see <code>examples/ostest</code>).
Support for that Olimex-LPC1766-STK board was added to NuttX 5.13.
The NuttX-5.14 release extended that support with an <i>Ethernet driver</i>.
And the NuttX-5.15 release further extended the support with a functional <i>USB driver</i> and <i>SPI-based micro-SD</i>.
Verified configurations are now available for the NuttX OS test,
for the NuttShell with networking and microSD support(NSH, see the <a href="ttp://www.nuttx.org/NuttShell.html">NSH User Guide</a>),
for the NuttX network test, for the <a href="http://acme.com/software/thttpd">THTTPD</a> webserver,

A driver for the <i>Nokia 6100 LCD</i> and an NX graphics configuration for the Olimex LPC1766-STK have been added.

Current Status: I think I have a hardware problem with my serial port setup.
There is a good chance that the NSH port is complete and functional, but I am not yet able to demonstrate that.
At present, I get nothing coming in the serial RXD line (probably because the pins are configured wrong or I have the MAX232 connected wrong).

<p>
This is a tougher environment.
In this case, the Windows native toolchain is unaware of the
Cygwin <i>sandbox</i> and, instead, operates in the native Windows environment.
The primary difficulties with this are:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Paths</b>.
Full paths for the native toolchain must follow Windows standards.
For example, the path <code>/home/my\ name/nuttx/include</code> my have to be
converted to something like <code>'C:\cygwin\home\my name\nuttx\include'</code>
to be usable by the toolchain.
</li>
<p>
Fortunately, this conversion is done simply using the <code>cygpath</code> utility.
</p>
<li>
<b>Symbolic Links</b>
NuttX depends on symbolic links to install platform-specific directories in the build system.
On Linux, true symbolic links are used.
On Cygwin, emulated symbolic links are used.
Unfortunately, for native Windows applications that operate outside of the
Cygwin <i>sandbox</i>, these symbolic links cannot be used.
</li>
<p>
The NuttX make system works around this limitation by copying the platform
specific directories in place.
These copied directories make work a little more complex, but otherwise work well.
</p>
<p><small>
NOTE: In this environment, it should be possible to use the NTFS <code>mklink</code> command to create links.
This should only require a minor modification to the build scripts (see <code>tools/winlink.sh</code> script).
</small></p>
<li>
<b>Dependencies</b>
NuttX uses the GCC compiler's <code>-M</code> option to generate make dependencies. These
dependencies are retained in files called <code>Make.deps</code> throughout the system.
For compilers other than GCC, there is no support for making dependencies in this way.
For Windows native GCC compilers, the generated dependencies are windows paths and not
directly usable in the Cygwin make. By default, dependencies are surpressed for these
compilers as well.

NOTE: dependencies are suppress by setting the make variable <code>MKDEPS</code> to point
to the do-nothing dependency script, <code>tools/mknulldeps.sh</code>.
Dependencies can be enabled for the Windows native GCC compilers by setting
<code>MKDEPS</code> to point to <code>$(TOPDIR)/tools/mkdeps.sh --winpaths $(TOPDIR)</code>.
</small></p>
At present, only the Zilog Z16F, z8Encore, and eZ80Acclaim ports use a non-GCC native Windows
toolchain(the Zilog ZDS-II toolchain).
Support for Windows native GCC toolchains (CodeSourcery and devkitARM) is currently implemented
for the NXP LPC214x, STMicro STR71x, and Luminary LMS6918 ARM ports.
(but could easily be extended to any other GCC-based platform with a small effort).

The primary environmental dependency of NuttX are (1) GNU make,
(2) bash scripting, and (3) Linux utilities (such as cat, sed, etc.).
If you have other platforms that support GNU make or make
utilities that are compatible with GNU make, then it is very
likely that NuttX would work in that environment as well (with some
porting effort). If GNU make is not supported, then some significant
modification of the Make system would be required.
<p>
<b>GNUWin32</b>.
For example, with suitable make system changes, it should be possible to
use native GNU tools (such as those from
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/">GNUWin32</a>)
to build NuttX.
However, that environment has not been used as of this writing.
</p>
<p><small>
NOTE: One of the members on the <a href="http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/nuttx/">NuttX forum</a>
reported that they successful built NuttX using such a GNUWin32-based, Windows native environment.
They reported that the only necessary change was to the use the NTFS mklink command to create links
(see <code>tools/winlink.sh</code> script).

5.15 2010-12-12 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>
* net/uip/uip_tcpaddsend.c and net/send.c -- Another place where the TCP sequence
number problem "fixed" in 5.14 might occur.
* net/send.c -- Check if the destination IP address is in the ARP table. If
not, then don't consider the packet sent. It won't be, an ARP packet will go
out instead. This improves behavior, for example, on the first GET request
from a browser.
* arch/arm/src/lpc17xx/lpc17_emacram.h and lpc17_allocateheap.c -- The Ethernet
logic was using all of AHB SRAM Bank0 for Ethernet packet buffers (16Kb). An
option was added to limit the amount of SRAM used for packet buffering and to
re-use any extra Bank0 memory for heap. configs/olimex-lpc1766stk/nettest
now uses only 8Kb at the beginning of Bank0; the 8Kb at the end of Bank0 is
included in the heap
* arch/arm/src/lpc17xx/lpc17_ssp.c -- Fix compilation errors when SSP1 is
selected.
* configs/olimex-lpc1766stk/nsh -- Enable network and SD/MMC card support in
NSH. Networking and telnetd interface as well as SPI-based microSD are
now functional.
* examples/nsh/nsh_netinit.c -- Fix NSH bug. If CONFIG_NET is selected, but
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NSH_TELNETD is not selected, then the network is never
initialized and bad things happen if you try to ping.
* drivers/lcd -- Add header files for the Phillips PCF8833 LCD controller and
for the Epson S1D15G10 LCD controller. A driver for the Nokia 6100 LCD is
coming.
* include/nuttx/spi.h and almost all other SPI files -- Added an optional
cmddata() method to the SPI interface. Some devices require an additional
out-of-band bit to specify if the next word sent to the device is a command
or data. This is typical, for example, in "9-bit" displays where the 9th bit
is the CMD/DATA bit. The cmddata method provides selection of command or data.
* drivers/lcd/p14201.c -- Now uses the cmddata() method of the SPI interface.
* arch/arm/src/lpc17xx/lpc17_usbdev.c -- LPC17xx USB driver now appears to
to be fully functional. examples/usbstorage configuration verified (the
examples/usbserial configuration is untested).
* drivers/usbdev/usbserial.c and usbstorage.c -- All USB class drivers need
to call DEV_CONNECT() when they are ready to be enumerated. That is,
(1) initially when bound to the USB driver, and (2) after a USB reset.
* drivers/lcd/nokia6100.c -- A driver for the Nokia 6100 LCD. This driver
has not be verified as of the initial check-in.
* configs/olimex-lpc1766stk/nx -- A NX graphics configuration for the Olimex
LPC1766-STK board using the Nokia 6100 LCD driver. This configuration has
not been verified as of the initial check-in.
* include/nuttx/spi.h -- the SPI_SETBITS macro was calling the setmode method.
This is a very important bug-fix in some usages.
pascal-2.0 2009-12-21 Gregory Nutt <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>
* Updated to use standard C99 types in stdint.h and
stdbool.h. This change was necessary for compatibility
with NuttX-5.0 (any beyond).
buildroot-1.8 2009-12-21 <spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr>
* configs/cortexm3-defconfig-4.3.3: Added support for NuttX NXFLAT
tools.
* configs/arm7tdmi-defconfig-4.3.3: Update to arm7tdmi-defconfig-4.2.4.
Also builds NuttX NXFLAT tools.
* configs/m68hc12-defconfig-4.3.3: Update to m68ch11-defconfig.
* configs/m68hc12-defconfig-3.4.6: There are problems building GCC
4.3.3 for the hc12.
