<b>Goals</b>.
Nuttx is a real timed embedded operating system (RTOS).
Its goals are:
<p>
<center><table width="90%">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="18"><img src="favicon.ico"></td>
<td bgcolor="#5eaee1">
<b>Small Footprint</b>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><br></td>
<td>
<p>
Usable in all but the tightest micro-controller environments,
The focus is on the tiny-to-small, deeply embedded environment.
</p>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="18"><img src="favicon.ico"></td>
<td bgcolor="#5eaee1">
<b>Rich Feature OS Set</b>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><br></td>
<td>
<p>
The goal is to provide implementations of most standard POSIX OS interfaces
to support a rich, multi-threaded development environment for deeply embedded
processors.
</p>
NON-GOALS: (1) It is not a goal to provide the rich level of OS
features like those provided with Linux.
Small footprint is more important than features.
Standard compliance is more important than small footprint.
(2) There is no MMU-based support for processes.
At present, NuttX assumes a flat address space.

<td valign="top" width="18"><img src="favicon.ico"></td>

<b>Highly Scalable</b>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><br></td>
<td>
<p>
Fully scalable from tiny (8-bit) to moderate embedded (32-bit).
Scalability with rich feature set is accomplished with:
Many tiny source files, link from static libraries, highly configurable, use of
weak symbols when available.
</p>

<td valign="top" width="18"><img src="favicon.ico"></td>

<b>Standards Compliance</b>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><br></td>
<td>
<p>
NuttX strives to achieve a high degree of standards compliance.
The primary governing standards are POSIX and ANSI standards.
Additional standard APIs from Unix and other common RTOS's are
adopted for functionality not available under these standards
or for functionaly that is not appropriate for the deeply-embedded
RTOS (such as <code>fork()</code>).
</p>
<p>
Because of this standards conformance, software developed under other
standard OSs (such as Linux) should port easily to NuttX.

The 17th release of NuttX (nuttx-0.3.5) is available for download
from the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=189573">SourceForge</a>
website.
The change log associated with the release is available <a href="#currentrelease">here</a>.
Unreleased changes after this release are avalable in CVS.
These unreleased changes are listed <a href="#pendingchanges">here</a>.
</p>
<p>
NuttX 0.3.5 is the 6th release containing the integration of a network
subsystem and the uIP TCP/IP, UDP, and ICMP stacks based on
<a href="http://www.sics.se/~adam/uip/index.php/Main_Page">uIP</a>
into NuttX.
</p>
<p>
This release is primarily a bug-fix release and intended to synchronize
with the current CVS contents. See the <a href="#currentrelease">ChangeLog</a>
for a detailed list of changes and fixes.
</p>
<p>
The level of network reliability is at a strong beta release level. The
baseline functionality of NuttX continues to mature and remains at
post-beta or production level.
</p>
<p>
This release was verified only on the Spectrum Digital C5471 EVM using
the C5471 Ethernet driver. Any feedback about bugsor suggestions for
improvement would be greatly appreciated.

<b>PJRC 87C52 Development Board</b>.
This port uses the <a href="http://www.pjrc.com/">PJRC</a> 87C52 development system
and the <a href="http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/">SDCC</a> toolchain.

<p>
<b>STATUS:</b>
This port is complete but not stable with timer interrupts enabled.
There seems to be some issue when the stack pointer enters into the indirect IRAM
address space during interrupt handling.
This architecture has not been built in some time will likely have some compilation
problems because of SDCC compiler differences.
