+  Title:       SIMULATOR HAS NO INTERRUPTS (NON-PREMPTIBLE)
+  Description: The current simulator implementation is has no interrupts and, hence,
+               is non-preemptible.  Also, without simulated interrutps, there can
+               be no high-fidelity simulated device drivers.
+
+               Currently, all timing and serial input is simulated in the IDLE loop:
+               When nothing is going on in the simulation, the IDLE loop runs and
+               fakes timer and UART events.

+  Priority:    Low, unless there is a need for developing a higher fidelity simulation

   Title:       ROUND-ROBIN SCHEDULING IN THE SIMULATOR
   Description: Since the simulation is not pre-emptible, you can't use round-robin
                scheduling (no time slicing).  Currently, the timer interrupts are

-  Title:       NSH ISSUES ON THE SIMULATOR
-  Descripion:  The NSH example has some odd behaviors.  Mult-tasking -- for example,
-               execution of commands in background -- does not work normally.  This
-               is due to the fact that NSH uses the system standard input for the
-               console.  This means that the simulation is actually "frozen" all of
-               the time when NSH is waiting for input and background commands never
-               get the chance to run.
-  Status:      Open
-  Priority:    This will not be fixed.  This is the normal behavior in the current
-               design of the simulator.  "Real" platforms will behave correctly
-               because NSH will "sleep" when it waits for console inpu and other
-               tasks can run freely.

-  Title:       DOUBLE COMMAND ECHO
-  Description: In the NSH example, the host HOST echoes each command so after you
-               you enter a command, the command is repeated on the next line.  This
-               is an artifact of the simulator only.
