<b>Directory Structure</b>.
The general directly layout for NuttX is very similar to the directory structure
of the Linux kernel -- at least at the most superficial layers.
At the top level is the main makefile and a series of sub-directories identified
below and discussed in the following paragraphs:

<b>Configuration Files</b>.
The NuttX configuration consists of:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<i>Processor architecture specific files</i>.
These are the files contained in the <code>arch/</code><i><arch-name></i><code>/</code> directory
and are discussed in a paragraph <a href="#archdirectorystructure">below</a>.
</li>
<li>
<i>Chip/SoC specific files</i>.
Each processor processor architecture is embedded in chip or <i>System-on-a-Chip</i> (SoC) architecture.
The full chip architecture includes the processor architecture plus chip-specific interrupt logic,
clocking logic, general purpose I/O (GIO) logic, and specialized, internal peripherals (such as UARTs, USB, etc.).
<p>
These chip-specific files are contained within chip-specific sub-directories in the
<code>arch/</code><i><arch-name></i><code>/</code> directory and are selected via
the <code>CONFIG_ARCH_name</code> selection.
</p>
</li>
<li>
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.).
<p>
These board-specific configuration files can be found in the
<code>configs/</code><i><board-name></i><code>/</code> sub-directories and are discussed
<p>
General documentation for the NuttX OS resides in this directory.
</p>
<h3><a name="archdirectorystructure">2.2.1 Subdirectory Structure</a></h3>
<p>
This directory contains several sub-directories, each containing
architecture-specific logic.
The task of porting NuttX to a new processor consists of
add a new subdirectory under <code>arch/</code> containing logic specific
to the new architecture.
The complete board port in is defined by the architecture-specific code in this
directory (plus the board-specific configurations in the <code>config/</code>
subdirectory).
Each architecture must provide a subdirectory, <i><arch-name></i>
under <code>arch/</code> with the following characteristics:
<i><arch-name></i>/
|-- include/
| |--<i><chip-name></i>/
| | `-- <i>(chip-specific header files)</i>
| |--<i><other-chips></i>/
| |-- arch.h
| |-- irq.h
| |-- types.h
| `-- limits.h
`-- src/
|--<i><chip-name></i>/
| `-- <i>(chip-specific source files)</i>
|--<i><other-chips></i>/
|-- Makefile
`-- <i>(architecture-specific source files)</i>
<h3><a name="summaryofarchfiles">2.2.2 Summary of Files</a></h3>
<li>
<code>include/</code><i><chip-name></i><code>/</code>
This sub-directory contains chip-specific header files.
</li>
<li>
<code>include/arch.h</code>:
This is a hook for any architecture specific definitions that may
be needed by the system. It is included by <code>include/nuttx/arch.h</code>.
</li>
<li>
<code>include/types.h</code>:
This provides architecture/toolchain-specific definitions for
standard types. This file should <code>typedef</code>:
<ul><code>
patacongo
committed
_int8_t, _uint8_t, _int16_t, _uint16_t, _int32_t, _uint32_t_t
patacongo
committed
<p>and if the architecture supports 24- or 64-bit integers</p>
patacongo
committed
_int24_t, _uint24_t, int64_t, uint64_t
patacongo
committed
NOTE that these type names have a leading underscore character. This
file will be included(indirectly) by include/stdint.h and typedef'ed to
the final name without the underscore character. This roundabout way of
doings things allows the stdint.h to be removed from the include/
directory in the event that the user prefers to use the definitions
provided by their toolchain header files

Must be defined to the be the size required to hold the interrupt
enable/disable state.
</p>
<p>
This file will be included by include/sys/types.h and be made
available to all files.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<code>include/irq.h</code>:
This file needs to define some architecture specific functions (usually
inline if the compiler supports inlining) and structure. These include:
<ul>
<li>
<code>struct xcptcontext</code>:
This structures represents the saved context of a thread.
</li>
<li>
<code>irqstate_t irqsave(void)</code>:
Used to disable all interrupts.
</li>
<li>
<code>void irqrestore(irqstate_t flags)<code>:
Used to restore interrupt enables to the same state as before <code>irqsave()</code> was called.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
This file must also define <code>NR_IRQS</code>, the total number of IRQs supported
by the board.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<code>src/</code><i><chip-name></i><code>/</code>
This sub-directory contains chip-specific source files.
</li>
<li>
<code>src/Makefile</code>:
This makefile will be executed to build the targets <code>src/libup.a</code> and
<code>src/up_head.o</code>. The <code>up_head.o</code> file holds the entry point into the system
(power-on reset entry point, for example). It will be used in
the final link with <code>libup.a</code> and other system archives to generate the
final executable.
</li>
<li>
<i>(architecture-specific source files)</i>.
The file <code>include/nuttx/arch.h</code> identifies all of the APIs that must
be provided by the architecture specific logic. (It also includes
<code>arch/</code><i><arch-name></i><code>/arch.h</code> as described above).
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="supportedarchitectures">2.2.3 Supported Architectures</a></h3>
All processor architecture-specific directories are maintained in sub-directories of
the <code>arch/</code> directory.
Different chips or SoC's may implement the same processor core.
Chip-specific logic can be found in sub-directories under the architecture
directory.
Current architecture/chip directories are summarized below:
</p>
<ul>
<li><code>arch/sim</code>:
A user-mode port of NuttX to the x86 Linux platform is available.
The purpose of this port is primarily to support OS feature development.
This port does not support interrupts or a real timer (and hence no
round robin scheduler) Otherwise, it is complete.
<p>NOTE: This target will not run on Cygwin probably for many reasons but
first off because it uses some of the same symbols as does cygwind.dll.
</p>
<li><code>arch/arm</code>:
This directory holds common ARM architectures. At present, this includes
the following subdirectories:
<ul>
<li><code>arch/arm/include</code> and <code>arch/arm/src/common</code>:
Common ARM logic.
</li>
<li><code>arch/arm/include/c5471</code> and <code>arch/arm/src/c5471</code>:
TI TMS320C5471 (also called TMS320DM180 or just C5471).
NuttX operates on the ARM7 of this dual core processor.
This port is complete, verified, and included in the NuttX release 0.1.1.
</li>
<li><code>arch/arm/include/dm320</code> and <code>arch/arm/src/dm320</code>:
TI TMS320DM320 (also called just DM320).

z80 instruction simulator.
The set simulator can be found in the NuttX CVS at
http://nuttx.cvs.sourceforge.net/nuttx/misc/sims/z80sim.
This port also uses the SDCC toolchain (http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/")
<li><code>arch/z80/include/ez80</code> and <code>arch/z80/src/ez80</code>:
The ez80Acclaim! port uses the ZiLOG ez80f0910200kitg development kit, eZ80F091 part,
with the Zilog ZDS-II Windows command line tools.
The development environment is Cygwin under WinXP.
This is a work in progress. Verified ez80 support will be announced in a future NuttX release.
</li>
<li><code>arch/z80/include/z8</code> and <code>arch/z80/src/z8</code>:
The Z8Encore! port uses either the ZiLOG z8encore000zco development kit, Z8F6403 part,
or the z8f64200100kit development kit, Z8F6423 part with the Zilog ZDS-II Windows command line
The initial release, verified only on the ZDS-II ez8 simulator, was released in nuttx-0.3.9.

The <code>binfmt/</code> subdirectory contains logic for loading binaries in the file
system into memory in a form that can be used to execute them.
</p>
<h2>2.4 <a name="DirStructConfigs">configs</a></h2>
<p>
The <code>configs/</code> subdirectory contains configuration data for each board.
These board-specific configurations plus the architecture-specific configurations in

<h3><a name="summaryofconfigfiles">2.3.2 Summary of Files</a></h3>
<h4><a name="boardlogic">2.3.2.1 Board Specific Logic</a></h4>
<ul>
<li>
<code>include/</code>:
This directory contains board specific header files.
This directory will be linked as <code>include/arch/board</code> at configuration time
and can be included via <code>#include <arch/board/header.h></code>.
These header file can only be included by files in <code>arch/</code><i><arch-name></i><code>/include/</code>
and <code>arch/</code><i><arch-name></i><code>/src/</code>.
<li>
<code>src/</code>:
This directory contains board specific drivers.
This directory will be linked as <config>arch/</code><i><arch-name></i><code>/src/board</config> at configuration
time and will be integrated into the build system.
</li>
<li>
<code>src/Makefile</code>:
This makefile will be invoked to build the board specific drivers.
It must support the following targets: <code>libext$(LIBEXT)</code>, <code>clean</code>, and <code>distclean</code>.
</li>
<h4><a name="boardconfigsubdirs">2.3.2.2 Board Specific Configuration Sub-Directories</a></h4>
<p>
The <code>configs/</code><i><board-name></i><code>/</code> sub-directory holds all of the
files that are necessary to configure NuttX for the particular board.
A board may have various different configurations using the common source files.
Each board configuration is described by three files: <code>Make.defs</code>, <code>defconfig</code>, and <code>setenv.sh</code>.
Typically, each set of configuration files is retained in a separate configuration sub-directory
(<i><config1-dir></i>, <i><config2-dir></i>, .. in the above diagram).
The procedure for configuring NuttX is described <a href="#configuringnuttx">below</a>,
This paragraph will describe the contents of these configuration files.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<code>Make.defs</code>: 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:
<ul>
<li>Tools: CC, LD, AR, NM, OBJCOPY, OBJDUMP</li>
<li>Tool options: CFLAGS, LDFLAGS</li>
<li>COMPILE, ASSEMBLE, ARCHIVE, CLEAN, and MKDEP macros</li>
</ul>
<p>
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.
</li>
<li>
<code>defconfig</code>: This is a configuration file similar to the Linux
<ul>
<li><code>CONFIG_VARIABLE</code>=value</li>
</ul>
<p>
This configuration file will be used at build time:
</p>
<ol>
<li>As a makefile fragment included in other makefiles, and</li>
<li>to generate <code>include/nuttx/config.h</code> which is included by
most C files in the system.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>
<code>setenv.sh</code>: This is a script that you can include that will be installed at
the top level of the directory structure and can be sourced to set any
necessary environment variables.
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="supportedboards">2.3.3 Supported Boards</a></h3>

STATUS: This port is available as of release 0.3.18 of NuttX. The port is basically
complete and many examples run correctly. However, there are remaining instabilities
that make the port un-usable. The nature of these is not understood; the behavior is
that certain SH-1 instructions stop working as advertised. This could be a silicon
problem, some pipeline issue that is not handled properly by the gcc 3.4.5 toolchain
(which has very limited SH-1 support to begin with), or perhaps with the CMON debugger.
At any rate, I have exhausted all of the energy that I am willing to put into this cool
old processor for the time being.

<p>
<b>Manual Configuration</b>.
Configuring NuttX requires only copying the
<a href="#boardconfigsubdirs">board-specific configuration files</a> into the top level directory which appears in the make files as the make variable, <code>${TOPDIR}</code>.
<li>Copy <code>configs/</code><i><board-name></i><code>/[</code><i><config-dir></i><code>/]Make.def</code> to <code>${TOPDIR}/Make.defs</code>,<li>
<li>Copy <code>configs/</code><i><board-name></i><code>/[</code><i><config-dir></i><code>/]setenv.sh</code> to <code>${TOPDIR}/setenv.sh</code>, and</li>
<li>Copy <code>configs/</code><i><board-name></i><code>/[</code><i><config-dir></i><code>/]defconfig</code> to <code>${TOPDIR}/.config</code></li>
</ul>
<p>
Where <i><board-name></i> is the name of one of the sub-directories of the
NuttX <a href="#DirStructConfigs"><code>configs/</code></a> directory.
This sub-directory name corresponds to one of the supported boards
identified <a href="#supportedboards">above</a>.
And <config-dir> is the optional, specific configuration directory for the board.
</p>
<p>
<b>Automated Configuration</b>.
There is a script that automates these steps. The following steps will
accomplish the same configuration:

The remainder of configuration steps will be performed by <a href="#topmakefile"><code>${TOPDIR}/Makefile</code></a>
the first time the system is built as described below.
</p>
<h2><a name="buildingnuttx">3.2 Building NuttX</a></h2>
<p>
<b>Building NuttX</b>.
Once NuttX has been configured as described <a href="#configuringnuttx">above</a>, it may be built as follows:
</p>
<ul><pre>
cd ${TOPDIR}
source ./setenv.sh
make
</pre></ul>
<p>
The <code>${TOPDIR}</code> directory holds:
</p>
<ul>
<li>The top level <a href="#topmakefile"><code>Makefile</code></a> that controls the NuttX build.
</ul>
<p>
That directory also holds:
</p>
<ul>
<li>The makefile fragment <a href="#boardconfigsubdirs"><code>.config</code></a> that describes the current configuration.</li>
<li>The makefile fragment <a href="#boardconfigsubdirs"><code>Make.defs</code></a> that provides customized build targets, and</li>
<li>The shell script <a href="#boardconfigsubdirs"><code>setenv.sh</code></a> that sets up the configuration environment for the build.</li>
The <a href="#boardconfigsubdirs"><code>setenv.sh</code></a> contains Linux/Cygwin environmental settings that are needed for the build.
The specific environmental definitions are unique for each board but should include, as a minimum, updates to the <code>PATH</code> variable to include the full path to the architecture-specific toolchain identified in <a href="#boardconfigsubdirs"><code>Make.defs</code></a>.
The <a href="#boardconfigsubdirs"><code>setenv.sh</code></a> only needs to be source'ed at the beginning of a session.
The system can be re-made subsequently by just typing <code>make</code>.
</p>
<p>
<b>First Time Make.</b>
Additional configuration actions will be taken the first time that system is built.
These additional steps include:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Auto-generating the file <code>include/nuttx/config.</code> using the <code>${TOPDIR}/.config</code> file.
<li>Creating a link to <code>${TOPDIR}/arch/</code><i><arch-name></i><code>/include</code> at <code>${TOPDIR}/include/arch</code>.
<li>Creating a link to <code>${TOPDIR}/configs/</code><i><board-name></i><code>/include</code> at <code>${TOPDIR}/include/arch/board</code>.
<li>Creating a link to <code>${TOPDIR}/configs/</code><i><board-name></i><code>/src</code> at <code>${TOPDIR}/arch/</code><i><arch-name></i><code>/src/board</code>

This function may be called from interrupt handling logic.

This operation should not cause the task to be unblocked
nor should it cause any immediate execution of sigdeliver.
Typically, a few cases need to be considered:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
This function may be called from an interrupt handler
During interrupt processing, all xcptcontext structures
should be valid for all tasks. That structure should
be modified to invoke sigdeliver() either on return
from (this) interrupt or on some subsequent context
switch to the recipient task.
</li>
<li>
If not in an interrupt handler and the tcb is NOT
the currently executing task, then again just modify
the saved xcptcontext structure for the recipient
task so it will invoke sigdeliver when that task is
later resumed.
</li>
<li>
If not in an interrupt handler and the tcb IS the
currently executing task -- just call the signal
handler now.

<h2><a name="ledsupport">4.3 LED Support</a></h2>
<p>
A board architecture may or may not have LEDs.
If the board does have LEDs, then most architectures provide similar LED support that is enabled when <code>CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS</code>
is selected in the NuttX configuration file.
This LED support is part of architecture-specific logic and is not managed by the core NuttX logic.
However, the support provided by each architecture is sufficiently similar that it can be documented here.
</p>
<h3><a name="ledheaders">4.3.1 Header Files</a></h3>
<p>
LED-related definitions are provided in two header files:
<ul>
<li>
LED definitions are provided for each board in the <code>board.h</code> that resides
in the <code><i><board-name></i>/include/board.h</code> file (which is also
linked to <code>include/arch/board/board.h</code> when the RTOS is configured).
Those definitions are discussed <a href="#leddefinitions">below</a>.
</li>
<li>
The board-specific logic provides unique instances of the LED interfaces.
This is because the implementation of LED support may be very different
on different boards.
Prototypes for these board-specific implementations are, however, provided
in architecture-common header files.
That header file is usually at <code><i><arch-name></i>/src/common/up_internal.h</code>,
but could be at other locations in particular architectures.
These prototypes are discussed <a href="#ledapis">below</a>.
</li>
</ul>
</p>
<h3><a name="leddefinitions">4.3.2 LED Definitions</a></h3>
<p>
The implementation of LED support is very specific to a board architecture.
Some boards have several LEDS, others have only one or two.
Some have none.

The NuttX logic does not refer to specific LEDS, rather, it refers to an event to be shown on the LEDS
in whatever manner is appropriate for the board;
the way that this event is presented depends upon the hardware available on the board.
</p>
<p>
The model used by NuttX is that the board can show 8 events defined as follows in <code><i><board-name></i>/include/board.h</code>:
</p>
<ul><pre>
#define LED_STARTED ??
#define LED_HEAPALLOCATE ??
#define LED_IRQSENABLED ??
#define LED_STACKCREATED ??
#define LED_INIRQ ??
#define LED_SIGNAL ??
#define LED_ASSERTION ??
#define LED_PANIC ??
</pre></ul>
<p>
The specific value assigned to each pre-processor variable can be whatever makes the implementation easiest for the board logic.
The <i>meaning</i> associated with each definition is as follows:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<code>LED_STARTED</code> is the value that describes the setting of the LEDs when the LED logic is first initialized.
This LED value is set but never cleared.
</li>
<li>
<code>LED_HEAPALLOCATE</code> indicates that the NuttX heap has been configured.
This is an important place in the boot sequence because if the memory is configured wrong, it will probably crash leaving this LED setting.
This LED value is set but never cleared.
</li>
<li>
<code>LED_IRQSENABLED</code> indicates that interrupts have been enabled.
Again, during bring-up (or if there are hardware problems), it is very likely that the system may crash just when interrupts are enabled, leaving this setting on the LEDs.
This LED value is set but never cleared.
</li>
<li>
<code>LED_STACKCREATED</code> is set each time a new stack is created.
If set, it means that the system attempted to start at least one new thread.
This LED value is set but never cleared.
</li>
<li>
<code>LED_INIRQ</code> is set and cleared on entry and exit from each interrupt.
If interrupts are working okay, this LED will have a dull glow.
</li>
<li>
<code>LED_SIGNAL</code> is set and cleared on entry and exit from a signal handler.
Signal handlers are tricky so this is especially useful during bring-up or a new architecture.
</li>
<li>
<code>LED_ASSERTION</code> is set if an assertion occurs.
</li>
<li>
<code>LED_PANIC</code> will blink at around 1Hz if the system panics and hangs.
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="ledapis">4.3.3 Common LED interfaces</a></h3>
<p>
The <code><i><arch-name></i>/src/common/up_internal.h</code> probably has definitions
like:
</p>
<ul><pre>
/* Defined in board/up_leds.c */
#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS
extern void up_ledinit(void);
extern void up_ledon(int led);
extern void up_ledoff(int led);
#else
# define up_ledinit()
# define up_ledon(led)
# define up_ledoff(led)
#endif
</pre></ul>
<p>
Where:
<p>
<ul>
<li>
<code>void up_ledinit(void)</code> is called early in power-up initialization to initialize the LED hardware.
</li>
<li>
<code>up_ledon(int led)</code> is called to instantiate the LED presentation of the event.
The <code>led</code> argument is one of the definitions provided in <code><i><board-name></i>/include/board.h</code>.
</li>
<li>
<code>up_ledoff(int led</code>is called to terminate the LED presentation of the event.
The <code>led</code> argument is one of the definitions provided in <code><i><board-name></i>/include/board.h</code>.
Note that only <code>LED_INIRQ</code>, <code>LED_SIGNAL</code>, <code>LED_ASSERTION</code>, and <code>LED_PANIC</code>
indications are terminated.

<p><b>Overview</b>.
NuttX includes an optional, scalable file system.
This file-system may be omitted altogether; NuttX does not depend on the presence
of any file system.
</p>
<p><b>Pseudo Root File System</b>.
Or, a simple <i>in-memory</i>, <i>pseudo</i> file system can be enabled.
This simple file system can be enabled setting the CONFIG_NFILE_DESCRIPTORS
option to a non-zero value (see <a href="#apndxconfigs">Appendix A</a>).
This is an <i>in-memory</i> file system because it does not require any
storage medium or block driver support.
Rather, file system contents are generated on-the-fly as referenced via
standard file system operations (open, close, read, write, etc.).
In this sense, the file system is <i>pseudo</i> file system (in the
same sense that the Linux <code>/proc</code> file system is also
Any user supplied data or logic can be accessed via the pseudo-file system.
Built in support is provided for character and block <a href="#DeviceDrivers">drivers</a> in the
</p>
<p><b>Mounted File Systems</b>
The simple in-memory file system can be extended my mounting block
devices that provide access to true file systems backed up via some
mass storage device.
NuttX supports the standard <code>mount()</code> command that allows
a block driver to be bound to a mountpoint within the pseudo file system
At present, NuttX supports only the VFAT file system.
</p>
<p><b>Comparison to Linux</b>
From a programming perspective, the NuttX file system appears very similar
to a Linux file system.
However, there is a fundamental difference:
The NuttX root file system is a pseudo file system and true file systems may be
mounted in the pseudo file system.
In the typical Linux installation by comparison, the Linux root file system
is a true file system and pseudo file systems may be mounted in the true,
root file system.
The approach selected by NuttX is intended to support greater scalability
from the very tiny platform to the moderate platform.

<b><code>include/nuttx/fs.h</code></b>.
All structures and APIs needed to work with character drivers are provided in this header file.
</li>
<li>
<b><code>struct file_operations</code></b>.

Details of the NuttX implementation of priority inheritance is
discussed <a href="NuttxUserGuide.html#priorityinheritance">elsewhere</a>.
<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>
<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

committed
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.
patacongo
committed
If set, all files/drivers will appear to be closed in the new task except
for stdin, stdout, and stderr.

desciptors by task_create() when a new task is started.
patacongo
committed
If set, all sockets will appear to be closed in the new task.
<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>
<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>
<code>CONFIG_THTTPD_IOBUFFERSIZE</code>:
</li>
<li>
<code>CONFIG_THTTPD_INDEX_NAMES</code>: A list of index filenames to check. The
files are searched for in this order.
</li>
<li>
<code>CONFIG_AUTH_FILE</code>: 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&quout;
</li>
<li>
<code>CONFIG_THTTPD_LISTEN_BACKLOG</code>: The listen() backlog queue length.
</li>
<li>
<code>CONFIG_THTTPD_LINGER_MSEC</code>: How many milliseconds to leave a connection
open while doing a lingering close.
</li>

<code>CONFIG_THTTPD_IDLE_READ_LIMIT_SEC</code>: How many seconds to allow for
reading the initial request on a new connection.
</li>

<code>CONFIG_THTTPD_IDLE_SEND_LIMIT_SEC</code>: How many seconds before an
idle connection gets closed.
</li>
<li>
<code>CONFIG_THTTPD_TILDE_MAP1 and CONFIG_THTTPD_TILDE_MAP2</code>: 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.
<ol>
<li>
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.
</li>
<li>
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".
</li>
</ol>
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.
</li>
<li>
<code>CONFIG_THTTPD_GENERATE_INDICES
</li>
<li>
<code>CONFIG_THTTPD_URLPATTERN</code>: If defined, then it will be used to match
and verify referrers.
