+nuttx-5.1
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+This is the 48th release of NuttX. This release adds support for two new
+MCU architectures in various states of development:
+
+o AT91SAM3U (http://www.atmel.com/products/at91/sam3landing.asp?family_id=605)
+
+ This release adds support for the SAM3U-EK development board with the
+ AT91SAM3U4E MCU (http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/product_card_mcu.asp?part_id=4562).
+ As with most NuttX architecutre releases, the release will be rolled out in
+ two parts: A basic port and an extended port.
+
+ NuttX-5.1 includes the basic port for the SAM3U-EK board. This release
+ passes the NuttX OS test and is proven to have a valid OS implementation.
+ It supports the basic boot-up, serial console and timer interrupts. A
+ configuration to support the NuttShell is also included.
+
+ The extended port will also include support for SDIO-based SD cards and
+ USB device (and possible LCD support). These extensions may or may not
+ happen by the Nuttx 5.2 release as my plate is kind of full now.
+
+o LPC3131 (http://ics.nxp.com/products/lpc3000/lpc313x.lpc314x.lpc315x/)
+
+ This release also adds the complete implementation of the basic port for
+ the NXP LPC3131 MCU on the Embedded Artists EA3131 board
+ (http://www.embeddedartists.com/products/kits/lpc3131_kit.php). That port,
+ unfortunately has stalled due to tools issues. Those tool issues have
+ been resolved and I am confident that the verified basic port will be
+ available in NuttX-5.2.
+
+ The extended release will follow and should include SDIO-based SD card
+ support and device USB.
+
+A few additional features and bugfixes of a minor nature were also incorporated
+as detailed in the ChangeLog.
