         <b>STATUS</b>.
-        As of this writing, this is very much a work in progress.
-        For a full-featured RTOS such as NuttX, providing support in a usable and meaningful way within the tiny memories of the NUC120 will be a challenge (128KB FLASH and 16KB of SRAM).
-        Initial support for the NUC120 is expected in NuttX-6.26.
+        Initial support for the NUC120 was released in NuttX-6.26.
+        This initial support is very minimal:
+        There is an OS test configuration that verifies the correct port of NuttX to the part and
+        a NuttShell (<a href="NuttShell.html">NSH</a>) configuration that might be the basis for an application development.
+        As of this writing, more device drivers are needed to make this a more complete port.
       </p>
+      <p>
+        For a full-featured RTOS such as NuttX, providing support in a usable and meaningful way within the tiny memories of the NUC120 demonstrates the scalability of NuttX (128KB FLASH and 16KB of SRAM).
+        When running the NSH configuration (a full up application), there is still more than 9KB or SRAM available:
