<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>

This provides architecture/toolchain-specific definitions for
standard types. This file should <code>typedef</code>:
<ul><code>
sbyte, ubyte, uint8, boolean, sint16, uint16, sint32, uint32
</code></ul>
<p>and if the architecture supports 64-bit integers</p>
<ul><code>

</code></ul>
<p>
and finally
</p>
<ul><code>
irqstate_t
</code></ul>
<p>
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>

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>
<p>
<b>Archictecture- and Chip-Specific Directories</b>.
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 developement.
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).

<h2>2.3 <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
the <code>arch/</code> subdirectory complete define a customized port of NuttX.
</p>
<h3><a name="configsdirectorystructure">2.3.1 Subdirectory Structure</a></h3>
<p>
The configs directory contains board specific configuration files. Each board must
provide a subdirectory <board-name> under <code>configs/</code> with the following characteristics:

<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 toplevel 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>

<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:
</p>
<ul><pre>
cd tools
./configure.sh <i><board-name></i></i><code>[/</code><i><config-dir></i><code>]</code>

<p>
<b>Additional Configuration Steps</b>.
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 targers, 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>
<li>Creating make dependencies.

The file <code>include/nuttx/arch.h</code> identifies by prototype all of the APIs that must
be provided by the architecture specific logic.
The internal OS APIs that architecture-specific logic must
interface with also also identified in <code>include/nuttx/arch.h</code> or in
other header files.
</p>
<h2><a name="imports">4.1 APIs Exported by Architecture-Specific Logic to NuttX</a></h2>
<h3><a name="upinitialize">4.1.1 <code>up_initialize()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>: <code>void up_initialize(void);</code></p>
<p><b>Description</b>.
<code>up_initialize()</code> will be called once during OS
initialization after the basic OS services have been
initialized. The architecture specific details of
initializing the OS will be handled here. Such things as
setting up interrupt service routines, starting the
clock, and registering device drivers are some of the
things that are different for each processor and hardware
platform.
</p>
<p>
<code>up_initialize()</code> is called after the OS initialized but
before the init process has been started and before the
libraries have been initialized. OS services and driver
services are available.
</p>
<h3><a name="upidle">4.1.2 <code>up_idle()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>: <code>void up_idle(void);</code></p>
<p><b>Description</b>.
<code>up_idle()</code> is the logic that will be executed
when their is no other ready-to-run task. This is processor
idle time and will continue until some interrupt occurs to
cause a context switch from the idle task.
</p>
<p>
Processing in this state may be processor-specific. e.g.,
this is where power management operations might be performed.
</p>
<h3><a name="upinitialstate">4.1.3 <code>up_initial_state()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>: <code>void up_initial_state(FAR _TCB *tcb);</code></p>
<p><b>Description</b>.
A new thread is being started and a new TCB
has been created. This function is called to initialize
the processor specific portions of the new TCB.
</p>
<p>
This function must setup the intial architecture registers
and/or stack so that execution will begin at tcb->start
on the next context switch.
</p>
<h3><a name="upcreatestack">4.1.4 <code>up_create_stack()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>: <code>STATUS up_create_stack(FAR _TCB *tcb, size_t stack_size);</code></p>
<p><b>Description</b>.
Allocate a stack for a new thread and setup
up stack-related information in the TCB.
</p>
<p>
The following TCB fields must be initialized:

<h3><a name="upreprioritizertr">4.1.10 <code>up_reprioritize_rtr()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>: <code>void up_reprioritize_rtr(FAR _TCB *tcb, ubyte priority);</code></p>
<p><b>Description</b>.
Called when the priority of a running or
ready-to-run task changes and the reprioritization will
cause a context switch. Two cases:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
The priority of the currently running task drops and the next
task in the ready to run list has priority.
</li>
<li>
An idle, ready to run task's priority has been raised above the
the priority of the current, running task and it now has the
priority.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
This function is called only from the NuttX scheduling
logic. Interrupts will always be disabled when this
function is called.
</p>
<p><b>Inputs:</b></p>
<ul>
<li>
<code>tcb</code>: The TCB of the task that has been reprioritized
</li>
<li>
<code>priority</code>: The new task priority
</li>
</ul>
<h3><a name="_exit">4.1.11 <code>_exit()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>: <code>void _exit(int status) noreturn_function;</code></p>
<p><b>Description</b>.
This function causes the currently executing task to cease
to exist. This is a special case of task_delete().
</p>
<p>
Unlike other UP APIs, this function may be called
directly from user programs in various states. The
implementation of this function should diable interrupts
before performing scheduling operations.
</p>
<h3><a name="upassert">4.1.12 <code>up_assert()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>:<br>
<code>void up_assert(FAR const ubyte *filename, int linenum);</code></br>
<code>void up_assert_code(FAR const ubyte *filename, int linenum, int error_code);</code></br>
</p>
<p><b>Description</b>.
Assertions may be handled in an architecture-specific
way.
</p>
<h3><a name="upschedulesigaction">4.1.13 <code>up_schedule_sigaction()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>:
<code>void up_schedule_sigaction(FAR _TCB *tcb, sig_deliver_t sigdeliver);</code>
</p>
<p><b>Description</b>.
This function is called by the OS when one or more
signal handling actions have been queued for execution.
The architecture specific code must configure things so
that the 'igdeliver' callback is executed on the thread
specified by 'tcb' as soon as possible.
</p>
<p>
This function may be called from interrupt handling logic.
</p>
<p>
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.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
This API is <i>NOT</i> required if <code>CONFIG_DISABLE_SIGNALS</code>
is defined.
</p>
<h3><a name="upallocateheap">4.1.14 <code>up_allocate_heap()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>: <code>void up_allocate_heap(FAR void **heap_start, size_t *heap_size);</code></p>
<p><b>Description</b>.
The heap may be statically allocated by
defining CONFIG_HEAP_BASE and CONFIG_HEAP_SIZE. If these
are not defined, then this function will be called to
dynamically set aside the heap region.
</p>
<p>
This API is <i>NOT</i> required if <code>CONFIG_HEAP_BASE</code>
is defined.
</p>
<h3><a name="upinterruptcontext">4.1.15 <code>up_interrupt_context()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>: <code>boolean up_interrupt_context(void)</code></p>
<p><b>Description</b>.
Return TRUE is we are currently executing in
the interrupt handler context.
</p>
<h3><a name="updisableirq">4.1.16 <code>up_disable_irq()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>:</p>
<ul><pre>
#ifndef CONFIG_ARCH_NOINTC
void up_disable_irq(int irq);
#endf
</pre></ul>
On many architectures, there are three levels of interrupt enabling: (1)
at the global level, (2) at the level of the interrupt controller,
and (3) at the device level. In order to receive interrupts, they
must be enabled at all three levels.
</p>
<p>
This function implements enabling of the device specified by 'irq'
at the interrupt controller level if supported by the architecture
(irqsave() supports the global level, the device level is hardware
specific).
<p>
If the architecture does not support <code>up_disable_irq</code>,
<code>CONFIG_ARCH_NOINTC</code> should be defined in the NuttX configuration file.
Since this API cannot be supported on all architectures, it should be
avoided in common implementations where possible.
</p>
<h3><a name="upenableirq">4.1.17 <code>up_enable_irq()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>:</p>
<ul><pre>
#ifndef CONFIG_ARCH_NOINTC
void up_enable_irq(int irq);
#endf
</pre></ul>
<p><b>Description</b>.
This function implements disabling of the device specified by 'irq'
at the interrupt controller level if supported by the architecture
(irqrestore() supports the global level, the device level is hardware
specific).
</p>
<p>
If the architecture does not support <code>up_disable_irq</code>,
<code>CONFIG_ARCH_NOINTC</code> should be defined in the NuttX configuration file.
Since this API cannot be supported on all architectures, it should be
avoided in common implementations where possible.
</p>
<h3><a name="upprioritizeirq">4.1.18 <code>up_prioritize_irq()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>:</p>
<ul><pre>
#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_IRQPRIO
void up_enable_irq(int irq);
#endf
</pre></ul>
Set the priority of an IRQ.
</p>
<p>
If the architecture supports <code>up_enable_irq</code>,
<code>CONFIG_ARCH_IRQPRIO</code> should be defined in the NuttX configuration file.
Since this API cannot be supported on all architectures, it should be
avoided in common implementations where possible.

<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.
Others LED matrices and show alphnumeric data, etc.
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.
</li>

<p><b>Overview</b>.
NuttX includes an optional, scalable file system.
This file-system may be omitted altogther; 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>psuedo</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>psuedo</i> file system (in the
same sense that the Linux <code>/proc</code> file system is also
referred to as a psuedo file system).
</p>
<p>
Any user supplied data or logic can be accessed via the psuedo-file system.
Built in support is provided for character and block drivers in the
<code>/dev</code> psuedo file system directory.
</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 psuedo file system
and to a a 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 psuedo file system and true file systems may be
mounted in the psuedo file system.
In the typical Linux installation by comparison, the Linux root file system
is a true file system and psuedo 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.

<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
There are certain dependency relationships in these features.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<code>mq_notify()</code> logic depends on signals to awaken tasks
waiting for queues to become full or empty.
</li>
<li>
<code>pthread_condtimedwait()</code> depends on signals to wake
up waiting tasks.
</li>
</ul>
