+examples/cxxtest
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ This is a test of the C++ standard library. At present a port of the uClibc++
+ C++ library is available. Due to licensinging issues, the uClibc++ C++ library
+ is not included in the NuttX source tree by default, but must be installed
+ (see misc/uClibc++/README.txt for installation).
+
+ The NuttX setting that are required include:
+
+ CONFIG_HAVE_CXX=y
+ CONFIG_HAVE_CXXINITIALIZE=y
+ CONFIG_UCLIBCXX=y
+
+ Additional uClibc++ settings may be required in your build environment.
+
+ The uClibc++ test includes simple test of:
+
+ - iostreams,
+ - STL,
+ - RTTI, and
+ - Exceptions

+examples/elf
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ This example builds a small ELF loader test case. This includes several
+ test programs under examples/elf tests. These tests are build using
+ the relocatable ELF format and installed in a ROMFS file system. At run time,
+ each program in the ROMFS file system is executed. Requires CONFIG_ELF.
+ Other configuration options:
+
+ CONFIG_EXAMPLES_ELF_DEVMINOR - The minor device number of the ROMFS block.
+ For example, the N in /dev/ramN. Used for registering the RAM block driver
+ that will hold the ROMFS file system containing the ELF executables to be
+ tested. Default: 0
+
+ CONFIG_EXAMPLES_ELF_DEVPATH - The path to the ROMFS block driver device. This
+ must match EXAMPLES_ELF_DEVMINOR. Used for registering the RAM block driver
+ that will hold the ROMFS file system containing the ELF executables to be
+ tested. Default: "/dev/ram0"
+
+ NOTES:
+
+ 1. CFLAGS should be provided in CELFFLAGS. RAM and FLASH memory regions
+ may require long allcs. For ARM, this might be:
+
+ CELFFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) -mlong-calls
+
+ Similarly for C++ flags which must be provided in CXXELFFLAGS.
+
+ 2. Your top-level nuttx/Make.defs file must alos include an approproate definition,
+ LDELFFLAGS, to generate a relocatable ELF object. With GNU LD, this should
+ include '-r' and '-e main' (or _main on some platforms).
+
+ LDELFFLAGS = -r -e main
+
+ If you use GCC to link, you make also need to include '-nostdlib' or
+ '-nostartfiles' and '-nodefaultlibs'.
+
+ 3. This example also requires genromfs. genromfs can be build as part of the
+ nuttx toolchain. Or can built from the genromfs sources that can be found
+ at misc/tools/genromfs-0.5.2.tar.gz. In any event, the PATH variable must
+ include the path to the genromfs executable.
+
+ 4. ELF size: The ELF files in this example are, be default, quite large
+ because they include a lot of "build garbage". You can greatly reduce the
+ size of the ELF binaries are using the 'objcopy --strip-unneeded' command to
+ remove un-necessary information from the ELF files.
+
+ 5. Simulator. You cannot use this example with the the NuttX simulator on
+ Cygwin. That is because the Cygwin GCC does not generate ELF file but
+ rather some Windows-native binary format.
+
+ If you really want to do this, you can create a NuttX x86 buildroot toolchain
+ and use that be build the ELF executables for the ROMFS file system.
+
+ 6. Linker scripts. You might also want to use a linker scripts to combine
+ sections better. An example linker script is at nuttx/binfmt/libelf/gnu-elf.ld.
+ That example might have to be tuned for your particular linker output to
+ position additional sections correctly. The GNU LD LDELFFLAGS then might
+ be:
+
+ LDELFFLAGS = -r -e main -T$(TOPDIR)/binfmt/libelf/gnu-elf.ld
