               The LPC43xx USB0 peripheral appears to be the same as the USB OTG peripheral for the LPC31xx.
               The LPC31xx USB0 device-side driver has been copied from the LPC31xx port but also integration into the LPC43xx (clocking and pin configuration).
-              It should be possible to complete poriting of this LPC31xx driver with a small porting effort.

               The Ethernet block looks to be based on the same IP as the STM32 Ethernet and, as a result, it should be possible to leverage the NuttX STM32 Ethernet driver with a little more effort.

+      General architectural support was provided for the SAM4E family in NuttX 6.32.
+      This is <i>architecture-only</i> support, meaning that support for the boards with these chips is available, but not support for any publicly available boards is included..
+      This support was contributed by Mitko.
