<b>STATUS:</b>
Integration is complete on the basic port (boot logic, system time, serial console).
Two configurations have been verified: (1) The board boots and passes the OS test
with console output visible on UART0, and the NuttShell (<a href="NuttShell.html">NSH</a>)
is fully functional with interrupt driven serial console. An SPI driver is available
but only partially tested. Additional features are needed: USB driver, MMC integration,
to name two (the slot on the board appears to accept on MMC card dimensions; I have only
SD cards).
An SPI-based ENC29J60 Ethernet driver for add-on hardware is under development and
should be available in the NuttX 5.5 release.

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

Support for <a href="NuttXDemandPaging.html">on-demand paging</a> has been developed for the EA3131.

The following summarizes the features that has been developed and verified on individual LPC17xx-based boards.
These features should, however, be common and available for all LPC17xx-based boards.
<ul>
<li>
Some initial files for the LPC17xx family were released in NuttX 5.6, but

The first functional release for the NXP LPC1768/Nucleus2G occured with NuttX 5.7 with
Some additional enhancements through NuttX-5.9.
</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
That initial, 5.6, basic release included <i>timer</i> interrupts and a <i>serial console</i> and was
verified using the NuttX OS test (<code>apps/examples/ostest</code>).
Configurations available include include a verified NuttShell (NSH) configuration
(see the <a href="http://www.nuttx.org/NuttShell.html">NSH User Guide</a>).
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).
<ul>
<li>
Support for the mbed board was contributed by Dave Marples and released in NuttX-5.11.
</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
This port includes a NuttX OS test configuration (see <code>apps/examples/ostest</code>).
<ul>
<li>
Support for that Olimex-LPC1766-STK board was added to NuttX 5.13.
</li>
<li>
The NuttX-5.14 release extended that support with an <i>Ethernet driver</i>.
</li>
<li>
The NuttX-5.15 release further extended the support with a functional <i>USB device driver</i> and <i>SPI-based micro-SD</i>.
</li>
<li>
The NuttX-5.16 release added a functional <i>USB host controller driver</i> and <i>USB host mass storage class driver</i>.
</li>
<li>
The NuttX-5.17 released added support for low-speed USB devicers, interrupt endpoints, and a <i>USB host HID keyboard class driver</i>.

Verified configurations are now available for the NuttX OS test,

<b>AV32DEV1</b>.
This port uses the www.mcuzone.com AVRDEV1 board based on the Atmel AT32UC3B0256 MCU.

This is a windows native toolchain and so can be used only under Cygwin on Windows.

<b>STATUS:</b>
This port is has completed all basic development, but there is more that needs to be done.
All code is complete for the basic NuttX port including header files for all AT32UC3* peripherals.
The untested AVR32 code was present in the 5.12 release of NuttX.
Since then, the basic RTOS port has solidified:
<ul>
<li>
The port successfully passes the NuttX OS test (apps/examples/ostest).
</li>
<li>
A NuttShell (NSH) configuration is in place (see the <a href="http://www.nuttx.org/NuttShell.html">NSH User Guide</a>).
Testing of that configuration has been postponed (because it got bumped by the Olimex LPC1766-STK port).
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).
</li>
</ul>
The basic, port (including the verified apps/examples/ostest configuration) was be released in NuttX-5.13.
A complete port will include drivers for additional AVR32 UC3 devices -- like SPI and USB --- and will be available in a later release,
time permitting.

<ul>
<p>
<b>STATUS:</b>
Integration and testing of NuttX on the ZiLOG ez80f0910200zcog-d is complete.
The first integrated version was released in NuttX version 0.4.2 (with important early bugfixes
in 0.4.3 and 0.4.4).
As of this writing, that port provides basic board support with a serial console, SPI, and eZ80F91 EMAC driver.

The is the most natural development environment for NuttX.
Any version of the GCC/binutils toolchain may be used.
There is a highly modified <a href="http://buildroot.uclibc.org/">buildroot</a>
available for download from the
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=189573">NuttX SourceForge</a>
page.
This download may be used to build a NuttX-compatible ELF toolchain under Linux or Cygwin.
That toolchain will support ARM, m68k, m68hc11, m68hc12, and SuperH ports.
The buildroot SVN may be accessed in the
<a href="http://nuttx.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/nuttx/trunk/misc/buildroot/">NuttX SVN</a>.

Also very usable is the Linux environment using the
<a href="http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/">SDCC</a> compiler.
The SDCC compiler provides support for the 8051/2, z80, hc08, and other microcontrollers.
The SDCC-based logic is less well exercised and you will likely find some compilation
issues if you use parts of NuttX with SDCC that have not been well-tested.

This combination works well too.
It works just as well as the native Linux environment except
that compilation and build times are a little longer.
The custom NuttX <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/nuttx/files/buildroot/">buildroot</a> referenced above may be build in
the Cygwin environment as well.

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.
</li>
<p><small>
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
