Initial support for the SAMA5D3x-EK was released in NuttX-6.29.
That initial support was minimal:
There are simple test configurations that run out of internal SRAM and extended configurations that run out of the on-board NOR FLASH:
- (1) An OS test configuration that verifies the correct port of NuttX to the part and
- (2) A barebones NuttShell (<a href="NuttShell.html">NSH</a>) configuration that can be used as the basis for further application development.
- (3) A full-loaded NuttShell (<a href="NuttShell.html">NSH</a>) configuration that demonstrates all of the SAMA5D3x features.
