  <b>Directory Structure</b>.
  The general directly layout for NuttX is very similar to the directory structure
  of the Linux kernel -- at least at the most superficial layers.
  At the top level is the main makefile and a series of sub-directories identified
  below and discussed in the following paragraphs:

  <b>Configuration Files</b>.
  The NuttX configuration consists of:
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <i>Processor architecture specific files</i>.
    These are the files contained in the <code>arch/</code><i>&lt;arch-name&gt;</i><code>/</code> directory
    and are discussed in a paragraph <a href="#archdirectorystructure">below</a>.
  </li>
  <li>
    <i>Chip/SoC specific files</i>.
    Each processor processor architecture is embedded in chip or <i>System-on-a-Chip</i> (SoC) architecture.
    The full chip architecture includes the processor architecture plus chip-specific interrupt logic,
    clocking logic, general purpose I/O (GIO) logic, and specialized, internal peripherals (such as UARTs, USB, etc.).
    <p>
      These chip-specific files are contained within chip-specific sub-directories in the
      <code>arch/</code><i>&lt;arch-name&gt;</i><code>/</code> directory and are selected via
      the <code>CONFIG_ARCH_name</code> selection.
    </p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <i>Board specific configurations</i>.
    In order to be usable, the chip must be contained in a board environment.
    The board configuration defines additional properties of the board including such things as
    peripheral LEDs, external peripherals (such as network, USB, etc.).
    <p>
      These board-specific configuration files can be found in the
      <code>configs/</code><i>&lt;board-name&gt;</i><code>/</code> sub-directories and are discussed
      in a paragraph <a href="#configsdirectorystructure">below</a>.
    </p>
  </li>
</ul>

<h2>2.1 <a name="DirStructDocumentation">Documentation</a></h2>

<p>
  General documentation for the NuttX OS resides in this directory.
</p>

<h2>2.2 <a name="DirStructArch">nuttx/arch</a></h2>

<h3><a name="archdirectorystructure">2.2.1 Subdirectory Structure</a></h3>
<p>
  This directory contains several sub-directories, each containing
  architecture-specific logic.
  The task of porting NuttX to a new processor consists of
  add a new subdirectory under <code>arch/</code> containing logic specific
  to the new architecture.
  The complete board port in is defined by the architecture-specific code in this
  directory (plus the board-specific configurations in the <code>config/</code>
  subdirectory).
  Each architecture must provide a subdirectory, <i>&lt;arch-name&gt;</i>
  under <code>arch/</code> with the following characteristics:
</p>
<ul><pre>
<i>&lt;arch-name&gt;</i>/
|-- include/
|   |--<i>&lt;chip-name&gt;</i>/
|   |  `-- <i>(chip-specific header files)</i>

<h3><a name="summaryofarchfiles">2.2.2 Summary of Files</a></h3>
<ul>
  <li>
    <code>include/</code><i>&lt;chip-name&gt;</i><code>/</code>
    This sub-directory contains chip-specific header files.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>include/arch.h</code>:
    This is a hook for any architecture specific definitions that may
    be needed by the system.  It is included by <code>include/nuttx/arch.h</code>.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>include/types.h</code>:
    This provides architecture/toolchain-specific definitions for
    standard types.  This file should <code>typedef</code>:
    <ul><code>
      _int8_t, _uint8_t, _int16_t, _uint16_t, _int32_t, _uint32_t_t
    </code></ul>
    <p>and if the architecture supports 24- or 64-bit integers</p>
    <ul><code>
      _int24_t, _uint24_t, int64_t, uint64_t
    </code></ul>
    <p>
      NOTE that these type names have a leading underscore character.  This
      file will be included(indirectly) by include/stdint.h and typedef'ed to
      the final name without the underscore character.  This roundabout way of
      doings things allows the stdint.h to be removed from the include/
      directory in the event that the user prefers to use the definitions
      provided by their toolchain header files
    </p>

        This structures represents the saved context of a thread.
      </li>
      <li>
        <code>irqstate_t irqsave(void)</code>:
        Used to disable all interrupts.

    </p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>include/syscall.h</code>:

    or <i>syscall</i>s that can be used all from user-mode applications into
    kernel-mode NuttX functions.
    This directory must always be provided to prevent compilation errors.
    However, it need only contain valid function declarations if the architecture

   Chip-specific logic can be found in sub-directories under the architecture
   directory.
   Current architecture/chip directories are summarized below:
</p>
<ul>
  <li><code>arch/sim</code>:
    A user-mode port of NuttX to the x86 Linux platform is available.

<h4><a name="boardlogic">2.4.2.1 Board Specific Logic</a></h4>
<ul>
  <li>
    <code>include/</code>:
    This directory contains board specific header files.
    This directory will be linked as <code>include/arch/board</code> at configuration time
    and can be included via <code>#include &lt;arch/board/header.h&gt;</code>.
    These header file can only be included by files in <code>arch/</code><i>&lt;arch-name&gt;</i><code>/include/</code>
    and <code>arch/</code><i>&lt;arch-name&gt;</i><code>/src/</code>.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>src/</code>:
    This directory contains board specific drivers.
    This directory will be linked as <config>arch/</code><i>&lt;arch-name&gt;</i><code>/src/board</code> at configuration
    time and will be integrated into the build system.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>src/Makefile</code>:
    This makefile will be invoked to build the board specific drivers.
    It must support the following targets:  <code>libext$(LIBEXT)</code>, <code>clean</code>, and <code>distclean</code>.
  </li>
</ul>
<h4><a name="boardconfigsubdirs">2.4.2.2 Board Specific Configuration Sub-Directories</a></h4>
<p>
  The <code>configs/</code><i>&lt;board-name&gt;</i><code>/</code> sub-directory holds all of the
  files that are necessary to configure NuttX for the particular board.
  A board may have various different configurations using the common source files.
  Each board configuration is described by three files:  <code>Make.defs</code>, <code>defconfig</code>, and <code>setenv.sh</code>.
  Typically, each set of configuration files is retained in a separate configuration sub-directory
  (<i>&lt;config1-dir&gt;</i>, <i>&lt;config2-dir&gt;</i>, .. in the above diagram).

  The procedure for configuring NuttX is described <a href="#configuringnuttx">below</a>,
  This paragraph will describe the contents of these configuration files.
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <code>Make.defs</code>: This makefile fragment provides architecture and
    tool-specific build options.  It will be included by all other
    makefiles in the build (once it is installed).  This make fragment
    should define:
    <ul>
      <li>Tools: CC, LD, AR, NM, OBJCOPY, OBJDUMP</li>
      <li>Tool options: CFLAGS, LDFLAGS</li>
      <li>COMPILE, ASSEMBLE, ARCHIVE, CLEAN, and MKDEP macros</li>
    </ul>
    <p>
      When this makefile fragment runs, it will be passed TOPDIR which
      is the path to the root directory of the build.  This makefile
      fragment may include ${TOPDIR}/.config to perform configuration
      specific settings.  For example, the CFLAGS will most likely be
      different if CONFIG_DEBUG=y.
    </p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p>
      <code>defconfig</code>: This is a configuration file similar to the Linux
      configuration file.  In contains variable/value pairs like:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li><code>CONFIG_VARIABLE</code>=value</li>
    </ul>
    <p>
      This configuration file will be used at build time:
    </p>
    <p><ol>
      <li>As a makefile fragment included in other makefiles, and</li>
      <li>to generate <code>include/nuttx/config.h</code> which is included by
          most C files in the system.</li>
    </ol></p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p>
      <code>appconfig</code>: This is another configuration file that is specific to the
      application.  This file is copied into the application build directory
      when NuttX is configured.  See <code>../apps/README.txt</code> for further details.
    </p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p>
      <code>setenv.sh</code>: This is a script that you can include that will be installed at
      the top level of the directory structure and can be sourced to set any
      necessary environment variables.
    </p>
  </li>
</ul>

<h3><a name="supportedboards">2.4.3 Supported Boards</a></h3>

  <li><code>configs/us7032evb1</code>:
    This is a port of the Hitachi SH-1 on the Hitachi SH-1/US7032EVB1 board.
    STATUS:  This port is available as of release 0.3.18 of NuttX.  The port is basically
    complete and many examples run correctly.  However, there are remaining instabilities
    that make the port un-usable.  The nature of these is not understood; the behavior is
    that certain SH-1 instructions stop working as advertised.  This could be a silicon
    problem, some pipeline issue that is not handled properly by the gcc 3.4.5 toolchain
    (which has very limited SH-1 support to begin with), or perhaps with the CMON debugger.
    At any rate, I have exhausted all of the energy that I am willing to put into this cool
    old processor for the time being.

<h2><a name="configuringnuttx">3.1 Configuring NuttX</a></h2>
<p>
  <b>Manual Configuration</b>.
  Configuring NuttX requires only copying the
  <a href="#boardconfigsubdirs">board-specific configuration files</a> into the top level directory which appears in the make files as the make variable, <code>${TOPDIR}</code>.
  This could be done manually as follows:
</p>
<ul>
  <li>Copy <code>configs/</code><i>&lt;board-name&gt;</i><code>/[</code><i>&lt;config-dir&gt;</i><code>/]Make.defs</code> to <code>${TOPDIR}/Make.defs</code>,<li>
  <li>Copy <code>configs/</code><i>&lt;board-name&gt;</i><code>/[</code><i>&lt;config-dir&gt;</i><code>/]setenv.sh</code> to <code>${TOPDIR}/setenv.sh</code>, and</li>
  <li>Copy <code>configs/</code><i>&lt;board-name&gt;</i><code>/[</code><i>&lt;config-dir&gt;</i><code>/]defconfig</code> to <code>${TOPDIR}/.config</code></li>
</ul>

<p>
  And if <code>configs/</code><i>&lt;board-name&gt;</i><code>/[</code><i>&lt;config-dir&gt;</i><code>/appconfig</code> exists in the board configuration directory:
</p>
<ul>
  <li>Copy <code>configs/</code><i>&lt;board-name&gt;</i><code>/[</code><i>&lt;config-dir&gt;</i><code>/appconfig</code> to &lt;app-dir&gt;<code>/.config</code></li>
  <li><code>echo &quot;APPS_LOC=\"&lt;app-dir&gt;\"" &gt;&gt; "${TOPDIR}/.config&quot;</code></li>
</ul>

</p>
<p>
  Where <i>&lt;board-name&gt;</i> is the name of one of the sub-directories of the
  NuttX <a href="#DirStructConfigs"><code>configs/</code></a> directory.
  This sub-directory name corresponds to one of the supported boards
  identified <a href="#supportedboards">above</a>.
  &lt;config-dir&gt; is the optional, specific configuration directory for the board.
  And &lt;app-dir&gt; is the location of the optonal application directory.
</p>
<p>
  <b>Automated Configuration</b>.
  There is a script that automates these steps.  The following steps will
  accomplish the same configuration:
</p>
<ul><pre>
  cd tools
  ./configure.sh <i>&lt;board-name&gt;</i></i>[/<i>&lt;config-dir&gt;</i>]
</pre></ul>

<p>
  And if <code>configs/</code><i>&lt;board-name&gt;</i><code>/[</code><i>&lt;config-dir&gt;</i><code>/appconfig</code>
  exists and your application directory is not in the standard loction (<config>../apps</config>),
  then you should also specify the location of the application directory on the command line like:
</p>
<ul><pre>
  cd tools
  ./configure.sh -a &lt;app-dir&gt; <i>&lt;board-name&gt;</i></i>[/<i>&lt;config-dir&gt;</i>]
</pre></ul>

<p>
  <b>Version Files</b>.
  The NuttX build expects to find a version file located in the top-level NuttX build directory.
  That version file is called <code>.version</code>.
  The correct version file is installed in each versioned NuttX released.
  However, if you are working from an SVN snapshot, then there will be no version file.
  If there is no version file, the top-level <code>Makefile</code> will create a dummy <code>.version</code> file on the first make.
  This dummy version file will contain all zeroes for version information.
  If that is not what you want, they you should run the <code>version.sh</code> script to create a better <code>.version</code> file.
</p>

<p>
  You can get help information from the <code>version.sh</code> script using the <code>-h</code> option.
  For example:
</p>
<ul><pre>
$ tools/version.sh -h
tools/version.sh is a tool for generation of proper version files for the NuttX build

USAGE: tools/version.sh [-d|-h] [-b build] -v &lt;major.minor&gt; &lt;outfile-path&gt;

Where:
        -d
                Enable script debug
        -h
                show this help message and exit
        -v &lt;major.minor&gt;
                The NuttX version number expressed a major and minor number separated
                by a period
        &lt;outfile-path&gt;
                The full path to the version file to be created
</pre></ul>

<p>
  As an example, the following command will generate a version file for version 6.1 using the current SVN revision number:
</p>
<ul><pre>
tools/version.h -v 6.1 .version
</pre></ul>

<p>
  The <code>.version</code> file is also used during the build process to create a C header file at <code>include/nuttx/version.h</code> that contains the same version information.
  That version file may be used by your C applications for, as an example, reporting version information.
</p>

<p>
  <b>Additional Configuration Steps</b>.
  The remainder of configuration steps will be performed by <a href="#topmakefile"><code>${TOPDIR}/Makefile</code></a>
  the first time the system is built as described below.
</p>

<h2><a name="buildingnuttx">3.2 Building NuttX</a></h2>
<p>
  <b>Building NuttX</b>.
   Once NuttX has been configured as described <a href="#configuringnuttx">above</a>, it may be built as follows:
</p>
<ul><pre>
cd ${TOPDIR}
source ./setenv.sh
make
</pre></ul>
<p>
  The <code>${TOPDIR}</code> directory holds:
</p>
<ul>
  <li>The top level <a href="#topmakefile"><code>Makefile</code></a> that controls the NuttX build.
</ul>
<p>
  That directory also holds:
</p>
<ul>
  <li>The makefile fragment <a href="#boardconfigsubdirs"><code>.config</code></a> that describes the current configuration.</li>
  <li>The makefile fragment <a href="#boardconfigsubdirs"><code>Make.defs</code></a> that provides customized build targets, and</li>
  <li>The shell script <a href="#boardconfigsubdirs"><code>setenv.sh</code></a> that sets up the configuration environment for the build.</li>
</ul>
<p>
The <a href="#boardconfigsubdirs"><code>setenv.sh</code></a> contains Linux/Cygwin environmental settings that are needed for the build.
The specific environmental definitions are unique for each board but should include, as a minimum, updates to the <code>PATH</code> variable to include the full path to the architecture-specific toolchain identified in <a href="#boardconfigsubdirs"><code>Make.defs</code></a>.
The <a href="#boardconfigsubdirs"><code>setenv.sh</code></a> only needs to be source'ed at the beginning of a session.
The system can be re-made subsequently by just typing <code>make</code>.
</p>
<p>
  <b>First Time Make.</b>
  Additional configuration actions will be taken the first time that system is built.
  These additional steps include:
</p>
<ul>
  <li>Auto-generating the file <code>include/nuttx/config.h</code> using the <code>${TOPDIR}/.config</code> file.
  <li>Auto-generating the file <code>include/nuttx/version.h</code> using the <code>${TOPDIR}/.version</code> file.
  <li>Creating a link to <code>${TOPDIR}/arch/</code><i>&lt;arch-name&gt;</i><code>/include</code> at <code>${TOPDIR}/include/arch</code>.
  <li>Creating a link to <code>${TOPDIR}/configs/</code><i>&lt;board-name&gt;</i><code>/include</code> at <code>${TOPDIR}/include/arch/board</code>.
  <li>Creating a link to <code>${TOPDIR}/configs/</code><i>&lt;board-name&gt;</i><code>/src</code> at <code>${TOPDIR}/arch/</code><i>&lt;arch-name&gt;</i><code>/src/board</code>
  <li>Creating make dependencies.
</ul>

<p>
  The file <code>include/nuttx/arch.h</code> identifies by prototype all of the APIs that must
  be provided by the architecture specific logic.
  The internal OS APIs that architecture-specific logic must
  interface with also also identified in <code>include/nuttx/arch.h</code> or in
  other header files.
</p>

<h2><a name="imports">4.1 APIs Exported by Architecture-Specific Logic to NuttX</a></h2>
<h3><a name="upinitialize">4.1.1 <code>up_initialize()</code></a></h3>

<p><b>Prototype</b>: <code>void up_initialize(void);</code></p>

<p><b>Description</b>.
  <code>up_initialize()</code> will be called once during OS
  initialization after the basic OS services have been
  initialized.  The architecture specific details of
  initializing the OS will be handled here.  Such things as
  setting up interrupt service routines, starting the
  clock, and registering <a href="#DeviceDrivers">device drivers</a> are some of the
  things that are different for each processor and hardware
  platform.
</p>
<p>
  <code>up_initialize()</code> is called after the OS initialized but
  before the init process has been started and before the
  libraries have been initialized.  OS services and driver
  services are available.
</p>

<h3><a name="upidle">4.1.2 <code>up_idle()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>: <code>void up_idle(void);</code></p>

<p><b>Description</b>.
  <code>up_idle()</code> is the logic that will be executed
  when their is no other ready-to-run task.  This is processor
  idle time and will continue until some interrupt occurs to
  cause a context switch from the idle task.
</p>
<p>
  Processing in this state may be processor-specific. e.g.,
  this is where power management operations might be performed.
</p>

<h3><a name="upinitialstate">4.1.3 <code>up_initial_state()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>: <code>void up_initial_state(FAR _TCB *tcb);</code></p>

<p><b>Description</b>.
  A new thread is being started and a new TCB has been created.
  This function is called to initialize the processor specific portions of the new TCB.
</p>
<p>
  This function must setup the initial architecture registers and/or stack so that execution
  will begin at tcb->start on the next context switch.
</p>
<p>
  This function may also need to set up processor registers so that the new thread executes
  with the correct privileges.
  If <code>CONFIG_NUTTX_KERNEL</code> has been selected in the NuttX configuration,
  then special initialization may need to be performed depending on the task type specified
  in the TCB's flags field:
  Kernel threads will require kernel-mode privileges;
  User tasks and pthreads should have only user-mode privileges.
  If <code>CONFIG_NUTTX_KERNEL</code> has <i>not</i> been selected,
  then all threads should have kernel-mode privileges.
</p>

<h3><a name="upcreatestack">4.1.4 <code>up_create_stack()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>: <code>STATUS up_create_stack(FAR _TCB *tcb, size_t stack_size);</code></p>

<p><b>Description</b>.
  Allocate a stack for a new thread and setup
  up stack-related information in the TCB.
</p>
<p>
  The following TCB fields must be initialized:
</p>
<ul>
  <li><code>adj_stack_size</code>: Stack size after adjustment for hardware,
    processor, etc.  This value is retained only for debug
    purposes.</li>
  <li><code>stack_alloc_ptr</code>: Pointer to allocated stack</li>
  <li><code>adj_stack_ptr</code>: Adjusted <code>stack_alloc_ptr</code> for HW.  The
    initial value of the stack pointer.
</ul>
<p>
  This API is <i>NOT</i> required if <code>CONFIG_CUSTOM_STACK</code>
  is defined.
</p>

<p><b>Inputs</b>:</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <code>tcb</code>: The TCB of new task.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>stack_size</code>:  The requested stack size.  At least this much
    must be allocated.
  </li>
</ul>

<h3><a name="upusestack">4.1.5 <code>up_use_stack()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>: 
  <code>STATUS up_use_stack(FAR _TCB *tcb, FAR void *stack, size_t stack_size);</code>
</p>

<p><b>Description</b>.
  Setup up stack-related information in the TCB
  using pre-allocated stack memory.
</p>
<p>
  The following TCB fields must be initialized:
</p>
<ul>
  <li><code>adj_stack_size</code>: Stack size after adjustment for hardware,
    processor, etc.  This value is retained only for debug
    purposes.</li>
  <li><code>stack_alloc_ptr</code>: Pointer to allocated stack</li>
  <li><code>adj_stack_ptr</code>: Adjusted <code>stack_alloc_ptr</code> for HW.  The
    initial value of the stack pointer.
</ul>
<p>
  This API is <i>NOT</i> required if <code>CONFIG_CUSTOM_STACK</code>
  is defined.
</p>

<p><b>Inputs:</b></p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <code>tcb</code>: The TCB of new task.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>stack_size</code>:  The allocated stack size.
  </li>
</ul>

<h3><a name="upreleasestack">4.1.6 <code>up_release_stack()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>: <code>void up_release_stack(FAR _TCB *dtcb);</code></p>

<p><b>Description</b>.
  A task has been stopped. Free all stack
  related resources retained int the defunct TCB.
</p>
<p>
  This API is <i>NOT</i> required if <code>CONFIG_CUSTOM_STACK</code>
  is defined.
</p>

<h3><a name="upunblocktask">4.1.7 <code>up_unblock_task()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>: <code>void up_unblock_task(FAR _TCB *tcb);</code></p>

<p><b>Description</b>.
  A task is currently in an inactive task list
  but has been prepped to execute.  Move the TCB to the
  ready-to-run list, restore its context, and start execution.
</p>
<p>
  This function is called only from the NuttX scheduling
  logic.  Interrupts will always be disabled when this
  function is called.
</p>

<p><b>Inputs</b>:
<ul>
  <li><code>tcb</code>: Refers to the tcb to be unblocked.  This tcb is
    in one of the waiting tasks lists.  It must be moved to
    the ready-to-run list and, if it is the highest priority
    ready to run tasks, executed.
  </li>
</ul>

<h3><a name="upblocktask">4.1.8 <code>up_block_task()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>: <code>void up_block_task(FAR _TCB *tcb, tstate_t task_state);</code></p>

<p><b>Description</b>.
  The currently executing task at the head of
  the ready to run list must be stopped.  Save its context
  and move it to the inactive list specified by task_state.

  This function is called only from the NuttX scheduling
  logic.  Interrupts will always be disabled when this
  function is called.

<p><b>Inputs:</b></p>
<ul>
  <li><code>tcb</code>: Refers to a task in the ready-to-run list (normally
    the task at the head of the list).  It most be
    stopped, its context saved and moved into one of the
    waiting task lists.  It it was the task at the head
    of the ready-to-run list, then a context to the new
    ready to run task must be performed.
  </li>
  <li><code>task_state</code>: Specifies which waiting task list should be
    hold the blocked task TCB.
  </li>
</ul>

<h3><a name="upreleasepending">4.1.9 <code>up_release_pending()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>: <code>void up_release_pending(void);</code></p>

<p><b>Description</b>.
  When tasks become ready-to-run but cannot run because pre-emption
  is disabled, they are placed into a pending task list.
  This function releases and makes ready-to-run all of the tasks that have
  collected in the pending task list.  This can cause a
  context switch if a new task is placed at the head of
  the ready to run list.
</p>
<p>
  This function is called only from the NuttX scheduling logic when
  pre-emption is re-enabled.  Interrupts will always be disabled when this
  function is called.
</p>

<h3><a name="upreprioritizertr">4.1.10 <code>up_reprioritize_rtr()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>: <code>void up_reprioritize_rtr(FAR _TCB *tcb, uint8_t priority);</code></p>

<p><b>Description</b>.
  Called when the priority of a running or
  ready-to-run task changes and the reprioritization will 
  cause a context switch.  Two cases:
</p>
<ol>
  <li>
    The priority of the currently running task drops and the next
    task in the ready to run list has priority.
  </li>
  <li>
    An idle, ready to run task's priority has been raised above the
    the priority of the current, running task and it now has the
    priority.
  </li>
</ol>
<p>
  This function is called only from the NuttX scheduling
  logic.  Interrupts will always be disabled when this
  function is called.
</p>

<p><b>Inputs:</b></p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <code>tcb</code>: The TCB of the task that has been reprioritized
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>priority</code>: The new task priority
  </li>
</ul>

<h3><a name="_exit">4.1.11 <code>_exit()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>: <code>void _exit(int status) noreturn_function;</code></p>

<p><b>Description</b>.
  This function causes the currently executing task to cease
  to exist.  This is a special case of task_delete().
</p>
<p>
  Unlike other UP APIs, this function may be called
  directly from user programs in various states.  The
  implementation of this function should disable interrupts
  before performing scheduling operations.
</p>

<h3><a name="upassert">4.1.12 <code>up_assert()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>:<br>
  <code>void up_assert(FAR const uint8_t *filename, int linenum);</code></br>
  <code>void up_assert_code(FAR const uint8_t *filename, int linenum, int error_code);</code></br>
</p>

<p><b>Description</b>.
  Assertions may be handled in an architecture-specific
  way.
</p>

<h3><a name="upschedulesigaction">4.1.13 <code>up_schedule_sigaction()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>:
  <code>void up_schedule_sigaction(FAR _TCB *tcb, sig_deliver_t sigdeliver);</code>
</p>

<p><b>Description</b>.
  This function is called by the OS when one or more
  signal handling actions have been queued for execution.
  The architecture specific code must configure things so
  that the 'sigdeliver' callback is executed on the thread
  specified by 'tcb' as soon as possible.
</p>
<p>
  This function may be called from interrupt handling logic.
</p>
<p>
  This operation should not cause the task to be unblocked
  nor should it cause any immediate execution of sigdeliver.
  Typically, a few cases need to be considered:
</p>
<ol>
  <li>
    This function may be called from an interrupt handler
    During interrupt processing, all xcptcontext structures
    should be valid for all tasks.  That structure should
    be modified to invoke sigdeliver() either on return
    from (this) interrupt or on some subsequent context
    switch to the recipient task.
  </li>
  <li>
    If not in an interrupt handler and the tcb is NOT
    the currently executing task, then again just modify
    the saved xcptcontext structure for the recipient
    task so it will invoke sigdeliver when that task is
    later resumed.
  </li>
  <li>
    If not in an interrupt handler and the tcb IS the
    currently executing task -- just call the signal
    handler now.
  </li>
</ol>
<p>
  This API is <i>NOT</i> required if <code>CONFIG_DISABLE_SIGNALS</code>
  is defined.
</p>

<h3><a name="upallocateheap">4.1.14 <code>up_allocate_heap()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>: <code>void up_allocate_heap(FAR void **heap_start, size_t *heap_size);</code></p>

<p><b>Description</b>.
  The heap may be statically allocated by
  defining CONFIG_HEAP_BASE and CONFIG_HEAP_SIZE.  If these
  are not defined, then this function will be called to
  dynamically set aside the heap region.
</p>
<p>
  This API is <i>NOT</i> required if <code>CONFIG_HEAP_BASE</code>
  is defined.
</p>

<h3><a name="upinterruptcontext">4.1.15 <code>up_interrupt_context()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>: <code>bool up_interrupt_context(void)</code></p>

<p><b>Description</b>.
  Return true if we are currently executing in the interrupt handler context.
</p>

<h3><a name="updisableirq">4.1.16 <code>up_disable_irq()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>:</p>
<ul><pre>
#ifndef CONFIG_ARCH_NOINTC
  void up_disable_irq(int irq);
#endif
</pre></ul>

<p><b>Description</b>.
  Disable the IRQ specified by 'irq'
  On many architectures, there are three levels of interrupt enabling: (1)
  at the global level, (2) at the level of the interrupt controller,
  and (3) at the device level.  In order to receive interrupts, they
  must be enabled at all three levels.
</p>
<p>
  This function implements enabling of the device specified by 'irq'
  at the interrupt controller level if supported by the architecture
  (irqsave() supports the global level, the device level is hardware
  specific).
<p>
  If the architecture does not support <code>up_disable_irq</code>,
  <code>CONFIG_ARCH_NOINTC</code> should be defined in the NuttX configuration file.
  Since this API cannot be supported on all architectures, it should be
  avoided in common implementations where possible.
</p>

<h3><a name="upenableirq">4.1.17 <code>up_enable_irq()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>:</p>
<ul><pre>
#ifndef CONFIG_ARCH_NOINTC
  void up_enable_irq(int irq);
#endif
</pre></ul>

<p><b>Description</b>.
  This function implements disabling of the device specified by 'irq'
  at the interrupt controller level if supported by the architecture
  (irqrestore() supports the global level, the device level is hardware
  specific).
</p>
<p>
  If the architecture does not support <code>up_disable_irq</code>,
  <code>CONFIG_ARCH_NOINTC</code> should be defined in the NuttX configuration file.
  Since this API cannot be supported on all architectures, it should be
  avoided in common implementations where possible.
</p>

<h3><a name="upprioritizeirq">4.1.18 <code>up_prioritize_irq()</code></a></h3>
<p><b>Prototype</b>:</p>
<ul><pre>
#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_IRQPRIO
  void up_enable_irq(int irq);
#endif
</pre></ul>
<p><b>Description</b>.
  Set the priority of an IRQ.
</p>
<p>
  If the architecture supports <code>up_enable_irq</code>,
  <code>CONFIG_ARCH_IRQPRIO</code> should be defined in the NuttX configuration file.
  Since this API cannot be supported on all architectures, it should be
  avoided in common implementations where possible.
</p>

<h3><a name="upputc">4.1.19 <code>up_putc()</code></a></h3>

<p><b>Prototype</b>: <code>int up_putc(int ch);</code></p>
<p><b>Description</b>.
  This is a debug interface exported by the architecture-specific logic.
  Output one character on the console
</p>

<h3><a name="systemtime">4.1.20 System Time and Clock</a></h3>

<h4>4.1.20.1 UTC Time Representation</h4>
<p>
  To enable UTC time representation use option:
</p>
<ul><pre>
CONFIG_SYSTEM_UTC=y
</pre></ul>
<p>
  which adds the following variables:
</p>
<ul>
  <li><code>g_system_utc</code> (seconds, 4 bytes)</li>
  <li><code>g_tickcount</code> (timer ticks, 1-2 bytes typically)</li>
</ul>
<p>
  and replaces:
</p>
<ul>
  <li><code>g_system_timer</code>(4 bytes)</li>
  <li><code>g_basetime</code>(8 bytes)</li>
  <li><code>g_tickbias</code>(4 bytes)</li>
</ul>
<p>
  Otherwise internal time is computed from 32-bit running tick timer
  <code>g_systemtimer</code> the start date <code>g_basetime</code> and time offset the <code>g_tickbias</code>.
</p>

<h4>4.1.20.2 Hardware</h4>
<p>
  To enable hardware module use option:
<p>
<ul><pre>
CONFIG_RTC=y
</pre></ul>
<p>
  which requires the following three base functions to read time:
</p>
<ul>
  <li><code>up_rtcinitialize()</code></li>
  <li><code>up_rtc_gettime()</code>. UTC time in seconds.</li>
  <li><code>up_rtc_getclock()</code>. Replacement for <code>g_system_tick</code></li>
</ul>
<p>
  This module depends on <code>CONFIG_SYSTEM_UTC=y</code>.
</p>

<h4>4.1.20.3 System Tick and Time</h4>
<p>
  The system tick is represented by, when <code>CONFIG_SYSTEM_UTC=n</code>:
</p>
<ul>
  <li><code>g_system_timer</code></li>
</ul>
<p>
  or, when <code>CONFIG_SYSTEM_UTC=y</code>
</p>
<ul>
  <li><code>g_tickcount</code></li>
  <li><code>g_system_utc</code></li>
</ul>
<p>
  Running at rate of system base timer, used for time-slicing, and so forth.
</p>
<p>
  If hardware RTC is present (<code>CONFIG_RTC</code>) and enabled, then after successful
  initiliazation variables are overriden by calls to <code>up_rtc_getclock()</code> which is
  running continously even in power-down modes.
</p>
<p>
  In the case of <code>CONFIG_RTC</code> is set the <code>g_tickcount</code> and <code>g_system_utc</code> keep
  counting at rate of a system timer, which however, is disabled in power-down
  mode. By comparing this time and RTC (actual time) one may determine the
  actual system active time. To retrieve that variable use:
</p>
<ul><pre>
  <li><code>clock_gettime(CLOCK_ACTIVETIME, tp)</code>
</pre></ul>
<p>
  If the <code>CLOCK_ACTIVETIME</code> time is never set it will serve as power-up time
  minus all deep sleeps.
</p>

<h2><a name="exports">4.2 APIs Exported by NuttX to Architecture-Specific Logic</a></h2>
<p>
  These are standard interfaces that are exported by the OS
  for use by the architecture specific logic.
</p>

<h2><a name="demandpaging">4.3 On-Demand Paging</a></h2>

<p>
  The NuttX On-Demand Paging feature permits embedded MCUs with some limited RAM space to execute large programs from some non-random access media.
  If the platform meets certiain requirements, then NuttX can provide on-demand paging:
  It can copy .text from the large program in non-volatile media into RAM as needed to execute a huge program from the small RAM.
  Design and porting issues for this feature are discussed in a sepate document.
  Please see the <a href="NuttXDemandPaging.html">NuttX Demand Paging</a> design document for further information.
</p>

<h2><a name="ledsupport">4.4 LED Support</a></h2>

<p>
  A board architecture may or may not have LEDs.
  If the board does have LEDs, then most architectures provide similar LED support that is enabled when <code>CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS</code>
  is selected in the NuttX configuration file.
  This LED support is part of architecture-specific logic and is not managed by the core NuttX logic.
  However, the support provided by each architecture is sufficiently similar that it can be documented here.
</p>

<h3><a name="ledheaders">4.3.1 Header Files</a></h3>

<p>
  LED-related definitions are provided in two header files:
  <ul>
    <li>
       LED definitions are provided for each board in the <code>board.h</code> that resides
       in the <code><i>&lt;board-name&gt;</i>/include/board.h</code> file (which is also
       linked to <code>include/arch/board/board.h</code> when the RTOS is configured).
       Those definitions are discussed <a href="#leddefinitions">below</a>.
    </li>
    <li>
       The board-specific logic provides unique instances of the LED interfaces.
       This is because the implementation of LED support may be very different
       on different boards.
       Prototypes for these board-specific implementations are, however, provided
       in architecture-common header files.
       That header file is usually at <code><i>&lt;arch-name&gt;</i>/src/common/up_internal.h</code>,
       but could be at other locations in particular architectures.
       These prototypes are discussed <a href="#ledapis">below</a>.
    </li>
  </ul>
</p>

<h3><a name="leddefinitions">4.3.2 LED Definitions</a></h3>

<p>
   The implementation of LED support is very specific to a board architecture. 
   Some boards have several LEDS, others have only one or two. 
   Some have none. 
   Others LED matrices and show alphanumeric data, etc.
   The NuttX logic does not refer to specific LEDS, rather, it refers to an event to be shown on the LEDS
   in whatever manner is appropriate for the board;
   the way that this event is presented depends upon the hardware available on the board.
</p>
<p>
   The model used by NuttX is that the board can show 8 events defined as follows in <code><i>&lt;board-name&gt;</i>/include/board.h</code>:
</p>
<ul><pre>
#define LED_STARTED       ??
#define LED_HEAPALLOCATE  ??
#define LED_IRQSENABLED   ??
#define LED_STACKCREATED  ??
#define LED_INIRQ         ??
#define LED_SIGNAL        ??
#define LED_ASSERTION     ??
#define LED_PANIC         ??
</pre></ul>
<p>
  The specific value assigned to each pre-processor variable can be whatever makes the implementation easiest for the board logic.
  The <i>meaning</i> associated with each definition is as follows:
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <code>LED_STARTED</code> is the value that describes the setting of the LEDs when the LED logic is first initialized.
    This LED value is set but never cleared.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>LED_HEAPALLOCATE</code> indicates that the NuttX heap has been configured.
    This is an important place in the boot sequence because if the memory is configured wrong, it will probably crash leaving this LED setting.
    This LED value is set but never cleared.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>LED_IRQSENABLED</code> indicates that interrupts have been enabled.
    Again, during bring-up (or if there are hardware problems), it is very likely that the system may crash just when interrupts are enabled, leaving this setting on the LEDs.
    This LED value is set but never cleared.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>LED_STACKCREATED</code> is set each time a new stack is created.
    If set, it means that the system attempted to start at least one new thread.
    This LED value is set but never cleared.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>LED_INIRQ</code> is set and cleared on entry and exit from each interrupt.
    If interrupts are working okay, this LED will have a dull glow.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>LED_SIGNAL</code> is set and cleared on entry and exit from a signal handler.
    Signal handlers are tricky so this is especially useful during bring-up or a new architecture.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>LED_ASSERTION</code> is set if an assertion occurs.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>LED_PANIC</code> will blink at around 1Hz if the system panics and hangs.
  </li>
</ul>

<h3><a name="ledapis">4.3.3 Common LED interfaces</a></h3>

<p>
  The <code><i>&lt;arch-name&gt;</i>/src/common/up_internal.h</code> probably has definitions
  like:
</p>
<ul><pre>
/* Defined in board/up_leds.c */

#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS
extern void up_ledinit(void);
extern void up_ledon(int led);
extern void up_ledoff(int led);
#else
# define up_ledinit()
# define up_ledon(led)
# define up_ledoff(led)
#endif
</pre></ul>
<p>
   Where:
<p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <code>void up_ledinit(void)</code> is called early in power-up initialization to initialize the LED hardware.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>up_ledon(int led)</code> is called to instantiate the LED presentation of the event.
    The <code>led</code> argument is one of the definitions provided in <code><i>&lt;board-name&gt;</i>/include/board.h</code>.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>up_ledoff(int led</code>is called to terminate the LED presentation of the event.
    The <code>led</code> argument is one of the definitions provided in <code><i>&lt;board-name&gt;</i>/include/board.h</code>.
    Note that only <code>LED_INIRQ</code>, <code>LED_SIGNAL</code>, <code>LED_ASSERTION</code>, and <code>LED_PANIC</code>
    indications are terminated.
  </li>
</ul>

<p><b>Overview</b>.
  NuttX includes an optional, scalable file system.
  This file-system may be omitted altogether; NuttX does not depend on the presence
  of any file system.
</p>

<p><b>Pseudo Root File System</b>.
  Or, a simple <i>in-memory</i>, <i>pseudo</i> file system can be enabled.
  This simple file system can be enabled setting the CONFIG_NFILE_DESCRIPTORS
  option to a non-zero value (see <a href="#apndxconfigs">Appendix A</a>).
  This is an <i>in-memory</i> file system because it does not require any
  storage medium or block driver support.
  Rather, file system contents are generated on-the-fly as referenced via
  standard file system operations (open, close, read, write, etc.).
  In this sense, the file system is <i>pseudo</i> file system (in the
  same sense that the Linux <code>/proc</code> file system is also
  referred to as a pseudo file system).
</p>

<p>
  Any user supplied data or logic can be accessed via the pseudo-file system.
  Built in support is provided for character and block <a href="#DeviceDrivers">drivers</a> in the
  <code>/dev</code> pseudo file system directory.
</p>

<p><b>Mounted File Systems</b>
  The simple in-memory file system can be extended my mounting block
  devices that provide access to true file systems backed up via some
  mass storage device.
  NuttX supports the standard <code>mount()</code> command that allows
  a block driver to be bound to a mountpoint within the pseudo file system
  and to a file system.
  At present, NuttX supports the standard VFAT and ROMFS file systems and
  well as a special, wear-leveling NuttX FLASH File System (NXFFS).
</p>

<p><b>Comparison to Linux</b>
  From a programming perspective, the NuttX file system appears very similar
  to a Linux file system.
  However, there is a fundamental difference:
  The NuttX root file system is a pseudo file system and true file systems may be
  mounted in the pseudo file system.
  In the typical Linux installation by comparison, the Linux root file system
  is a true file system and pseudo file systems may be mounted in the true,
  root file system.
  The approach selected by NuttX is intended to support greater scalability
  from the very tiny platform to the moderate platform.

  NuttX supports a variety of device drivers including:
  <ul>
    <li><i>Character</i> Device Drivers,</li>
    <li><i>Block</i> Device Drivers, and</li>
    <li>Other <i>Specialized</i> Drivers.</li>
  </ul>
  These different device driver types are discussed in the following paragraphs.
  Note: device driver support requires that the <i>in-memory</i>, <i>pseudo</i> file system
  is enabled by setting the CONFIG_NFILE_DESCRIPTORS in the NuttX configuration file to a 
  non-zero value.
</p>

<h2><a name="chardrivers">6.1 Character Device Drivers</a></h2>

<p>
  Character device drivers have these properties:
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <p>
    <b><code>include/nuttx/fs.h</code></b>.
    All structures and APIs needed to work with character drivers are provided in this header file.
    </p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p>
    <b><code>struct file_operations</code></b>.
    Each character device driver must implement an instance of <code>struct file_operations</code>.
    That structure defines a call table with the following methods:
    <ul>
     <p><code>int open(FAR struct file *filp);</code><br>
     <code>int close(FAR struct file *filp);</code><br>
     <code>ssize_t read(FAR struct file *filp, FAR char *buffer, size_t buflen);</code><br>
     <code>ssize_t write(FAR struct file *filp, FAR const char *buffer, size_t buflen);</code><br>
     <code>off_t seek(FAR struct file *filp, off_t offset, int whence);</code><br>
     <code>int ioctl(FAR struct file *filp, int cmd, unsigned long arg);</code><br>
     <code>int poll(FAR struct file *filp, struct pollfd *fds, bool setup);</code></p>
    </ul>
    </p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p>
    <b><code>int register_driver(const char *path, const struct file_operations *fops, mode_t mode, void *priv);</code></b>.
    Each character driver registers itself by calling <code>register_driver()</code>, passing it the
    <code>path</code> where it will appear in the <a href="#NxFileSystem">pseudo-file-system</a> and it's
    initialized instance of <code>struct file_operations</code>.
    </p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p>
    <b>User Access</b>.
    After it has been registered, the character driver can be accessed by user code using the standard
    <a href="NuttxUserGuide.html#driveroperations">driver operations</a> including
    <code>open()</code>, <code>close()</code>, <code>read()</code>, <code>write()</code>, etc.
    </p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p>
    <b>Examples</b>:
    <code>drivers/dev_null.c</code>, <code>drivers/fifo.c</code>, <code>drivers/serial.c</code>, etc.
    </p>
 </li>
</ul>

<h2><a name="blockdrivers">6.2 Block Device Drivers</a></h2>

<p>
  Block device drivers have these properties:
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <p>
    <b><code>include/nuttx/fs.h</code></b>.
    All structures and APIs needed to work with block drivers are provided in this header file.
    </p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p>
    <b><code>struct block_operations</code></b>.
    Each block device driver must implement an instance of <code>struct block_operations</code>.
    That structure defines a call table with the following methods:
    <ul>
     <p><code>int open(FAR struct inode *inode);</code><br>
     <code>int close(FAR struct inode *inode);</code><br>
     <code>ssize_t read(FAR struct inode *inode, FAR unsigned char *buffer, size_t start_sector, unsigned int nsectors);</code><br>

      <b>Binding SDIO Drivers</b>.
      SDIO drivers are not normally directly accessed by user code, but are usually bound to another,
      higher level device driver.
      In general, the binding sequence is:
    </p>
    <p>
      <ol>
        <li>Get an instance of <code>struct sdio_dev_s</code> from the hardware-specific SDIO device driver, and </li>
        <li>Provide that instance to the initialization method of the higher level device driver.</li>
      </ol>
    </p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p>
      <b>Examples</b>:
      <code>arch/arm/src/stm32/stm32_sdio.c</code> and <code>drivers/mmcsd/mmcsd_sdio.c</code>

      <b>USB Host Class Driver Registry</b>.
      The NuttX USB host infrastructure includes a <i>registry</i>.
      During its initialization, each USB host class driver must call the interface, <code>usbhost_registerclass()</code>
      in order add its interface to the registery.
      Later, when a USB device is connected, the USB host controller will look up the USB host class driver that is needed to support the connected device in this registry.
    </p>
    <p>
      <b>Examples</b>:
      <code>drivers/usbhost/usbhost_registry.c</code>, <code>drivers/usbhost/usbhost_registerclass.c</code>, and <code>drivers/usbhost/usbhost_findclass.c</code>,
    </p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p>
      <b>Detection and Enumeration of Connected Devices</b>.
      Each USB host device controller supports two methods that are used to detect and enumeration newly connected devices
      (and also detect disconnected devices):
    </p>
    <p>
      <ul>
        <li>
          <p>
            <code>int (*wait)(FAR struct usbhost_driver_s *drvr, bool connected);</code>
          </p>
          <p>
            Wait for a device to be connected or disconnected.
          </p>
        </li>
        <li>
          <p>
            <code>int (*enumerate)(FAR struct usbhost_driver_s *drvr);</code>
          </p>
          <p>
            Enumerate the connected device.
            As part of this enumeration process, the driver will
            (1) get the device's configuration descriptor,
            (2) extract the class ID info from the configuration descriptor,
            (3) call <code>usbhost_findclass(</code>) to find the class that supports this device,
            (4) call the <code>create()</code> method on the <code>struct usbhost_registry_s interface</code> to get a class instance, and
            finally (5) call the <code>connect()</code> method of the <code>struct usbhost_class_s</code> interface.
            After that, the class is in charge of the sequence of operations.
          </p>
      </ul>
    </p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p>
      <b>Binding USB Host-Side Drivers</b>.
      USB host-side controller drivers are not normally directly accessed by user code,
      but are usually bound to another, higher level USB host class driver.
      The class driver exports the standard NuttX device interface so that the connected USB device can be accessed just as with other, similar, on-board devices.
      For example, the USB host mass storage class driver (<code>drivers/usbhost/usbhost_storage.c</code>) will register a standard, NuttX block driver interface (like <code>/dev/sda</code>)
      that can be used to mount a file system just as with any other other block driver instance.
      In general, the binding sequence is:
    </p>
    <p>
      <ol>
        <li>
          <p>
            Each USB host class driver includes an intialization entry point that is called from the
            application at initialization time.
            This driver calls <code>usbhost_registerclass()</code> during this initialization in order to makes itself available in the event the the device that it supports is connected.
          </p>
          <p>
            <b>Examples</b>:
            The function <code>usbhost_storageinit()</code> in the file <code>drivers/usbhost/usbhost_storage.c</code>
          </p>
        </li>
        <li>
          <p>
            Each application must include a <i>waiter</i> thread thread that (1) calls the USB host controller driver's <code>wait()</code> to detect the connection of a device, and then
            (2) call the USB host controller driver's <code>enumerate</code> method to bind the registered USB host class driver to the USB host controller driver.
          </p>
          <p>
            <b>Examples</b>:
            The function <code>nsh_waiter()</code> in the file <code>configs/nucleus2g/src/up_nsh.c</code> and
            the function <code>nsh_waiter()</code> in the file <code>configs/olimex-lpc1766stk/src/up_nsh.c</code>.
          </p>
        </li>
        <li>
          <p>
            As part of its operation during the binding operation, the USB host class driver will register an instances of a standard NuttX driver under the <code>/dev</code> directory.
            To repeat the above example, the USB host mass storage class driver (<code>drivers/usbhost/usbhost_storage.c</code>) will register a standard, NuttX block driver interface (like <code>/dev/sda</code>)
            that can be used to mount a file system just as with any other other block driver instance. 
          </p>
          <p>
            <b>Examples</b>:
            See the call to <code>register_blockdriver()</code> in the function <code>usbhost_initvolume()</code> in the file <code>drivers/usbhost/usbhost_storage.c</code>.

  The following variables are recognized by the build (you may
  also include architecture-specific settings).
</p>

<h2>Architecture selection</h2>
<p>
  The following configuration items select the architecture, chip, and
  board configuration for the build.
</p>
<ul>
  <li><code>CONFIG_ARCH</code>:
    Identifies the arch subdirectory</li>
  <li><code>CONFIG_ARCH_name</code>:

  <li><code>CONFIG_ENDIAN_BIG</code>:
     Define if big endian (default is little endian).</li>
  <li><code>CONFIG_ARCH_NOINTC</code>:
     Define if the architecture does not support an interrupt controller
     or otherwise cannot support APIs like up_enable_irq() and up_disable_irq().</li>
  <li><code>CONFIG_ARCH_IRQPRIO</code>:
     Define if the architecture supports prioritization of interrupts and the
     up_prioritize_irq() API.</li>
</ul>

<p>
  Some architectures require a description of the RAM configuration:
</p>
<ul>
  <li><code>CONFIG_DRAM_SIZE</code>:
    Describes the installed DRAM.</li>
  <li><code>CONFIG_DRAM_START</code>:
    The start address of DRAM (physical)</li>
  <li><code>CONFIG_DRAM_VSTART</code>:
    The start address of DRAM (virtual)</li>
</ul>

<h2>Build Options</h2>
<p>
  General build options:
</p>
<ul>
  <li><code>CONFIG_RRLOAD_BINARY</code>:
    Make the rrload binary format used with BSPs from <a href="www.ridgerun.com">ridgerun.com</a>
    using the <code>tools/mkimage.sh</code> script.
  </li>
  <li><code>CONFIG_INTELHEX_BINARY</code>:
    Make the Intel HEX binary format used with many different loaders using the GNU objcopy program
    This option should not be selected if you are not using the GNU toolchain.
  </li>
  <li><code>CONFIG_MOTOROLA_SREC</code>:
    Make the Motorola S-Record binary format used with many different loaders using the GNU objcopy program
    Should not be selected if you are not using the GNU toolchain.
  </li>
  <li><code>CONFIG_RAW_BINARY</code>:
    Make a raw binary format file used with many different loaders using the GNU objcopy program.
    This option  should not be selected if you are not using the GNU toolchain.
  </li>
  <li><code>CONFIG_HAVE_LIBM</code>:
    Toolchain supports libm.a
  </li>
  <li><code>CONFIG_HAVE_CXX</code>:
    Toolchain supports C++ and <code>CXX</code>, <code>CXXFLAGS</code>, and <code>COMPILEXX</code>
    have been defined in the configurations <code>Make.defs</code> file.
  </li>
</ul>
<p>
  Building application code:
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <p>
      <code>CONFIG_APPS_DIR</code>: Identifies the directory that builds the application to link with NuttX.
      This symbol must be assigned to the path of the application build directory <i>relative</i> to the NuttX top build directory.
      If the application resides in the top-level <code>../apps/</code> directory, it is not necessary to define <code>CONFIG_APPS_DIR</code>.
      If you have an application directory and the NuttX directory each in separate directories such as this:
<ul><pre>
build
 |-nuttx
 |  |
 |  `- Makefile
 `-application
    |
    `- Makefile
</pre></ul>
      Then you would set <code>CONFIG_APPS_DIR=../application</code>.
      The default value of <code>CONFIG_APPS_DIR</code> is <code>../apps/</code>.
    </p>
    <p>
      The application direction must contain <code>Makefile</code> and this make file must support the following targets:
      <ul>
        <li>
          <code>libapps$(LIBEXT)</code> (usually <code>libapps.a</code>).
          <code>libapps.a</code> is a static library ( an archive) that contains all of application object files.
        </li>
        <li>
          <code>clean</code>.
          Do whatever is appropriate to clean the application directories for a fresh build.
        </li>
        <li>
          <code>distclean</code>.
          Clean everthing -- auto-generated files, symbolic links etc. -- so that the directory contents are the same as the contents in your configuration management system.
          This is only done when you change the NuttX configuration.
        </li>
        <li>
          <code>context</code>.
          Perform one-time configuration-related setup.
          This might includes such things as creating auto-generated files or symbolic links for directory configurations.
        </li>
        <li>
          <code>depend</code>.
          Make or update the application build dependencies.
        </li>
      </ul>
    </p>
    <p>
      When this application is invoked it will receive the setting <code>TOPDIR</code> like:
      <ul>
        <code>$(MAKE) -C $(CONFIG_APPS_DIR) TOPDIR=&quot;$(TOPDIR)&quot;</code> &lt;target&gt;
      </ul>
    </p>
    <p>
      <code>TOPDIR</code> is the full path to the NuttX directory.
      It can be used, for example, to include makefile fragments (e.g., <code>.config</code> or <code>Make.defs</code>) or to set up include file paths.
    </p>
  </li>
</ul>
<p>
  Two-pass Build Options.
  If the 2 pass build option is selected, then these options configure the make system build a extra link object.
  This link object is assumed to be an incremental (relative) link object, but could be a static library (archive)
  (some modification to this Makefile would be required if CONFIG_PASS1_TARGET generates an archive).
  Pass 1 1ncremental (relative) link objects should be put into the processor-specific source directory 
  where other link objects will be created - ff the pass1 obect is an archive, it could	go anywhere.
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_BUILD_2PASS</code>:
      Enables the two pass build options.
  </li>
</ul>
<p>
  When the two pass build option is enabled, the following also apply:
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <p>
      <code>CONFIG_PASS1_TARGET</code>: The name of the first pass build target.
    </p>
  </li>
  <li><code>CONFIG_PASS1_BUILDIR</code>:
    <p>
      The path, relative to the top NuttX build directory to directory that contains the Makefile to build the first pass object.
      The Makefile must support the following targets:
    </p>
    <p>
      <ul>
        <li>The special target <code>CONFIG_PASS1_TARGET</code> (if defined), and</li>
        <li>The usual depend, clean, and distclean targets.</li>
      </ul>
    </p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PASS1_OBJECT</code>: May be used to include an extra, pass1 object into the final link.
    This would probably be the object generated from the <code>CONFIG_PASS1_TARGET</code>. 
    It may be available at link time in the <code>arch/&lt;architecture&gt;/src</code> directory.
  </li>
</ul>

<h2>General OS setup</h2>
<ul>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_DEBUG</code>: enables built-in debug options
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_DEBUG_VERBOSE</code>: enables verbose debug output
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_DEBUG_SYMBOLS</code>: build without optimization and with debug symbols (needed for use with a debugger).
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_DEBUG_SCHED</code>: enable OS debug output (disabled by default)
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_DEBUG_MM</code>: enable memory management debug output (disabled by default)
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_DEBUG_NET</code>: enable network debug output (disabled by default)

  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_DEBUG_BINFMT</code>: enable binary loader debug output (disabled by default)
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_DEBUG_GRAPHICS</code>: enable NX graphics debug output (disabled by default)
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_ARCH_LOWPUTC</code>: architecture supports low-level, boot
    time console output
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_NUTTX_KERNEL</code>:
      With most MCUs, NuttX is built as a flat, single executable image
      containing the NuttX RTOS along with all application code.
      The RTOS code and the application run in the same address space and at the same kernel-mode privileges.
      If this option is selected, NuttX will be built separately as a monolithic, kernel-mode module and the applications
      can be added as a separately built, user-mode module.
      In this a system call layer will be built to support the user- to kernel-mode interface to the RTOS.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_MM_REGIONS</code>: If the architecture includes multiple
    regions of memory to allocate from, this specifies the
    number of memory regions that the memory manager must
    handle and enables the API mm_addregion(start, end);
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_TICKS_PER_MSEC</code>: The default system timer is 100Hz
    or <code>TICKS_PER_MSEC</code>=10.  This setting may be defined to inform NuttX
    that the processor hardware is providing system timer interrupts at some interrupt
    interval other than 10 msec.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_RR_INTERVAL</code>: The round robin time slice will be set
    this number of milliseconds;  Round robin scheduling can
    be disabled by setting this value to zero.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_SCHED_INSTRUMENTATION</code>: enables instrumentation in 
    scheduler to monitor system performance
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_TASK_NAME_SIZE</code>: Specifies that maximum size of a
    task name to save in the TCB.  Useful if scheduler
    instrumentation is selected.  Set to zero to disable.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_START_YEAR</code>, <code>CONFIG_START_MONTH</code>, <code>CONFIG_START_DAY</code> -
    Used to initialize the internal time logic.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_GREGORIAN_TIME</code>: Enables Gregorian time conversions.
    You would only need this if you are concerned about accurate time conversions in
    the recent past or in the distant future.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_JULIAN_TIME</code>: Enables Julian time conversions.
    You would only need this if you are concerned about accurate time conversion in the distand past.
    You must also define <code>CONFIG_GREGORIAN_TIME</code> in order to use Julian time.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_DEV_CONSOLE</code>: Set if architecture-specific logic
    provides /dev/console.  Enables stdout, stderr, stdin.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_MUTEX_TYPES</code>: Set to enable support for recursive and
    errorcheck mutexes.  Enables <code>pthread_mutexattr_settype()</code>.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PRIORITY_INHERITANCE</code>: Set to enable support for
    priority inheritance on mutexes and semaphores.
    Priority inheritance is a strategy of addressing
    <a href="NuttxUserGuide.html#priorityinversion"><i>priority inversion</i></a>.
    Details of the NuttX implementation of priority inheritance is
    discussed <a href="NuttxUserGuide.html#priorityinheritance">elsewhere</a>.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_SEM_PREALLOCHOLDERS</code>: This setting is only used
    if priority inheritance is enabled.
    It defines the maximum number of different threads (minus one) that
    can take counts on a semaphore with priority inheritance support.
    This may be set to zero if priority inheritance is disabled OR if you
    are only using semaphores as mutexes (only one holder) OR if no more
    than two threads participate using a counting semaphore.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_SEM_NNESTPRIO</code>: If priority inheritance is enabled,
    then this setting is the maximum number of higher priority threads (minus
    1) than can be waiting for another thread to release a count on a semaphore.
    This value may be set to zero if no more than one thread is expected to
    wait for a semaphore.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_FDCLONE_DISABLE</code>: Disable cloning of all file descriptors
    by task_create() when a new task is started.
    If set, all files/drivers will appear to be closed in the new task.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_FDCLONE_STDIO</code>: Disable cloning of all but the first
    three file descriptors (stdin, stdout, stderr) by task_create()
    when a new task is started.
    If set, all files/drivers will appear to be closed in the new task except
    for stdin, stdout, and stderr.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_SDCLONE_DISABLE</code>: Disable cloning of all socket
    desciptors by task_create() when a new task is started.
    If set, all sockets will appear to be closed in the new task.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_NXFLAT</code>: Enable support for the NXFLAT binary format.
    This format will support execution of NuttX binaries located
    in a ROMFS file system (see <code>apps/examples/nxflat</code>).
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_SCHED_WORKQUEUE</code>: Create a dedicated "worker" thread to
    handle delayed processing from interrupt handlers.  This feature
    is required for some drivers but, if there are not complaints,
    can be safely disabled.  The worker thread also performs
    garbage collection -- completing any delayed memory deallocations
    from interrupt handlers.  If the worker thread is disabled,
    then that clean will be performed by the IDLE thread instead
    (which runs at the lowest of priority and may not be appropriate
    if memory reclamation is of high priority).  If CONFIG_SCHED_WORKQUEUE
    is enabled, then the following options can also be used:
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_SCHED_WORKPRIORITY</code>: The execution priority of the worker
    thread.  Default: 50
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_SCHED_WORKPERIOD</code>: How often the worker thread checks for
    work in units of microseconds.  Default: 50*1000 (50 MS).
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_SCHED_WORKSTACKSIZE</code>: The stack size allocated for the worker
    thread.  Default: CONFIG_IDLETHREAD_STACKSIZE.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_SIG_SIGWORK</code>: The signal number that will be used to wake-up
    the worker thread.  Default: 4
  </li>
</ul>

<p>
 Kernel build options:
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_NUTTX_KERNEL</code>: Builds NuttX as a separately compiled kernel.
  </li>
    <code>CONFIG_SYS_RESERVED</code>: Reserved system call values for use by architecture-specific logic.
  </li>
</ul>

<p>
 OS setup related to on-demand paging:
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING</code>: If set =y in your configation file, this setting will
          enable the on-demand paging feature as described in
          <a href="http://www.nuttx.org/NuttXDemandPaging.html">http://www.nuttx.org/NuttXDemandPaging.html</a>.
  </li>
</ul>

<p>
  If CONFIG_PAGING is selected, then you will probabaly need <code>CONFIG_BUILD_2PASS</code> to correctly position
  the code and the following configuration options also apply:
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_PAGESIZE</code>:
    The size of one managed page.
    This must be a value supported by the processor's memory management unit.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_NLOCKED</code>:
    This is the number of locked pages in the memory map.
    The locked address region will then be from <code>CONFIG_DRAM_VSTART</code> through
    (<code>CONFIG_DRAM_VSTART</code> + <code>CONFIG_PAGING_PAGESIZE</code>*<code>CONFIG_PAGING_NLOCKED</code>)
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_LOCKED_PBASE</code> and <code>CONFIG_PAGING_LOCKED_VBASE</code>:
    These may be defined to determine the base address of the locked page regions.
    If neither are defined, the logic will be set the bases to <code>CONFIG_DRAM_START</code>
    and <code>CONFIG_DRAM_VSTART</code> (i.e., it assumes that the base address of the locked
    region is at the beginning of RAM).
    <b>NOTE</b>:
    In some architectures, it may be necessary to take some memory from the beginning
    of this region for vectors or for a page table.
    In such cases, <code>CONFIG_PAGING_LOCKED_P/VBASE</code> should take that into consideration
    to prevent overlapping the locked memory region and the system data at the beginning of SRAM.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_NPPAGED</code>:
    This is the number of physical pages available to support the paged text region.
    This paged region begins at
    (<code>CONFIG_PAGING_LOCKED_PBASE</code> + <code>CONFIG_PAGING_PAGESIZE</code>*<code>CONFIG_PAGING_NPPAGED</code>)
    and continues until
    (<code>CONFIG_PAGING_LOCKED_PBASE</code> + <code>CONFIG_PAGING_PAGESIZE</code>*(<code>CONFIG_PAGING_NLOCKED</code> +
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_NPPAGED</code>)
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_NVPAGED</code>:
    This actual size of the paged text region (in pages).
    This is also the number of virtual pages required to support the entire paged region.
    The on-demand paging feature is intended to support only the case where the virtual paged text
    area is much larger the available physical pages.
    Otherwise, why would you enable on-demand paging?
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_NDATA</code>:
    This is the number of data pages in the memory map.
    The data region will extend to the end of RAM unless overridden by a setting in the configuration file.
    <b>NOTE</b>:
    In some architectures, it may be necessary to take some memory from the end of RAM for page tables
    or other system usage.
    The configuration settings and linker directives must be cognizant of that:
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_NDATA</code> should be defined to prevent the data region from extending all the way to the end of memory. 
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_DEFPRIO</code>:
    The default, minimum priority of the page fill worker thread.
    The priority of the page fill work thread will be boosted boosted dynmically so that it matches the
    priority of the task on behalf of which it peforms the fill.
    This defines the minimum priority that will be used. Default: 50.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_STACKSIZE</code>:
    Defines the size of the allocated stack for the page fill worker thread. Default: 1024.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_BLOCKINGFILL</code>:
    The architecture specific <code>up_fillpage()</code> function may be blocking or non-blocking.
    If defined, this setting indicates that the <code>up_fillpage()</code> implementation will block until the
    transfer is completed. Default:  Undefined (non-blocking).
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_WORKPERIOD</code>:
    The page fill worker thread will wake periodically even if there is no mapping to do.
    This selection controls that wake-up period (in microseconds).
    This wake-up a failsafe that will handle any cases where a single is lost (that would
    really be a bug and shouldn't happen!)
    and also supports timeouts for case of non-blocking, asynchronous fills (see <code>CONFIG_PAGING_TIMEOUT_TICKS</code>).
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_TIMEOUT_TICKS</code>:
    If defined, the implementation will monitor the (asynchronous) page fill logic.
    If the fill takes longer than this number if microseconds, then a fatal error will be declared.
    Default: No timeouts monitored.
  </li>
  <p>
    Some architecture-specific settings. 
    Defaults are architecture specific.
    If you don't know what you are doing, it is best to leave these undefined and try the system defaults:
  </p>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_VECPPAGE</code>:
    This the physical address of the page in memory to be mapped to the vector address.
  </li>
  <li>

    This is the physical address of the L2 page table entry to use for the vector mapping.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_VECL2VADDR</code>:
    This is the virtual address of the L2 page table entry to use for the vector mapping.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_BINPATH</code>:
    If <code>CONFIG_PAGING_BINPATH</code> is defined, then it is the full path to a file on a mounted file system that contains a binary image of the NuttX executable.
    Pages will be filled by reading from offsets into this file that correspond to virtual fault addresses.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_MOUNTPT</code>:
    If <code>CONFIG_PAGING_BINPATH</code> is defined, additional options may be provided to control the initialization of underlying devices.
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_MOUNTPT</code> identifies the mountpoint to be used if a device is mounted.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_MINOR</code>:
    Some mount operations require a &quot;minor&quot; number to identify the specific device instance.
    Default: 0
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_SDSLOT</code>:
    If <code>CONFIG_PAGING_BINPATH</code> is defined, additional options may be provided to control the initialization of underlying devices.
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_SDSLOT</code> identifies the slot number of the SD device to initialize.
    This must be undefined if SD is not being used.
    This should be defined to be zero for the typical device that has only a single slot (See <code>CONFIG_MMCSD_NSLOTS</code>).
    If defined, <code>CONFIG_PAGING_SDSLOT</code> will instruct certain board-specific logic to initialize the media in this SD slot.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_M25PX</code>:
    Use the m25px.c FLASH driver.
    If this is selected, then the MTD interface to the M25Px device will be used to support paging.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_AT45DB</code>:
    Use the at45db.c FLASH driver.
    If this is selected, then the MTD interface to the Atmel AT45DB device will be used to support paging.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_BINOFFSET</code>:
    If CONFIG_PAGING_M25PX or CONFIG_PAGING_AT45DB is defined then CONFIG_PAGING_BINOFFSET will be used to specify the offset in bytes into the FLASH device where the NuttX binary image is located.
    Default: 0
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_PAGING_SPIPORT</code>:
    If CONFIG_PAGING_M25PX or CONFIG_PAGING_AT45DB is defined and the device has multiple SPI busses (ports), then this configuration should be set to indicate which SPI port the device is connected.
    Default: 0
  </li>
</ul>
<p>
  The following can be used to disable categories of APIs supported
  by the OS.  If the compiler supports weak functions, then it
  should not be necessary to disable functions unless you want to
  restrict usage of those APIs.
</p>
<p>
  There are certain dependency relationships in these features.

    the end of FLASH memory so that it can be re-used again.  However,
    doing this can also harm the life of the FLASH part because it can
    mean that the tail end of the FLASH is re-used too often. This

<h3><a name="slipdriver">SLIP</a></h3>
<p>
  The NuttX SLIP driver supports point-to-point IP communications over a serial port.
  The default data link layer for uIP is Ethernet.
  If <code>CONFIG_NET_SLIP</code> is defined in the NuttX configuration file, then SLIP will be supported.
  The basic differences between the SLIP and Ethernet configurations is that when SLIP is selected:
   <ul>
     <li>The link level header (that comes before the IP header) is omitted.</li>
     <li>All MAC address processing is suppressed.</li>
     <li>ARP is disabled.</li>
   </ul>
   If <code>CONFIG_NET_SLIP</code> is not selected, then Ethernet will be used
   (there is no need to define anything special in the configuration file to use Ethernet -- it is the default).
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_NET_SLIP</code>: Enables building of the SLIP driver.
    SLIP requires at least one IP protocols selected and the following additional network settings: <code>CONFIG_NET_NOINTS</code> and <code>CONFIG_NET_MULTIBUFFER</code>.
    <code>CONFIG_NET_BUFSIZE</code> <i>must</i> be set to 296.
    Other optional configuration settings that affect the SLIP driver: <code>CONFIG_NET_STATISTICS</code>.
    Default: Ethernet.
  </li>
  <p>
    If SLIP is selected, then the following SLIP options are available:
  </p>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_CLIP_NINTERFACES</code>: Selects the number of physical SLIP interfaces to support.  Default: 1
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_SLIP_STACKSIZE</code>: Select the stack size of the SLIP RX and TX tasks.  Default: 2048
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_SLIP_DEFPRIO</code>: The priority of the SLIP RX and TX tasks. Default: 128
  </li>
  </li>
</ul>

<h3>UIP Network Utilities</h3>

    <code>CONFIG_NET_DHCP_LIGHT</code>: Reduces size of DHCP
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_NET_RESOLV_ENTRIES</code>: Number of resolver entries
  </li>
</ul>

<h3>THTTPD</h3>

    match this pattern will be executed.  In fact, if this value is not defined
    then no CGI logic will be built. Default: <code>/mnt/www/cgi-bin/*</code>.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_THTTPD_CGI_PRIORITY</code>: Provides the priority of CGI child tasks
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_THTTPD_CGI_STACKSIZE</code>: Provides the initial stack size of
     CGI child task (will be overridden by the stack size in the NXFLAT
    header)
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_THTTPD_CGI_BYTECOUNT</code>: Byte output limit for CGI tasks.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_THTTPD_CGI_TIMELIMIT</code>: How many seconds to allow CGI programs
    to run before killing them.

  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_THTTPD_INDEX_NAMES</code>: A list of index filenames to check. The
    files are searched for in this order.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_AUTH_FILE</code>: The file to use for authentication. If this is
    defined then thttpd checks for this file in the local directory
    before every fetch. If the file exists then authentication is done,
    otherwise the fetch proceeds as usual. If you leave this undefined
    then thttpd will not implement authentication at all and will not
    check for auth files, which saves a bit of CPU time. A typical
    value is &quot;.htpasswd&quout;
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_THTTPD_LISTEN_BACKLOG</code>: The listen() backlog queue length.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_THTTPD_LINGER_MSEC</code>: How many milliseconds to leave a connection
    open while doing a lingering close.

  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_THTTPD_IDLE_READ_LIMIT_SEC</code>: How many seconds to allow for
    reading the initial request on a new connection.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_THTTPD_IDLE_SEND_LIMIT_SEC</code>: How many seconds before an
    idle connection gets closed.
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_THTTPD_TILDE_MAP1 and CONFIG_THTTPD_TILDE_MAP2</code>: Tilde mapping.
    Many URLs use ~username to indicate a user's home directory. thttpd
    provides two options for mapping this construct to an  actual filename.
    <ol>
      <li>
        Map ~username to &lt;prefix&gt;/username. This is the recommended choice.
        Each user gets a subdirectory in the main web tree, and the tilde
        construct points there. The prefix could be something like "users",
        or it could be empty.
      </li>
      <li>
        Map ~username to &lt;user's homedir&gt;/&lt;postfix&gt;. The postfix would be
        the name of a subdirectory off of the user's actual home dir,
        something like &quot;public_html&quot;.
      </li>
    </ol>
    You can also leave both options undefined, and thttpd will not do
    anything special about tildes. Enabling both options is an error.
    Typical values, if they're defined, are &quot;users&quot; for
    CONFIG_THTTPD_TILDE_MAP1 and &quot;public_html&quot; forCONFIG_THTTPD_TILDE_MAP2. 
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_THTTPD_GENERATE_INDICES</code>:
  </li>
  <li>
    <code>CONFIG_THTTPD_URLPATTERN</code>: If defined, then it will be used to match
    and verify referrers.
  </li>
</ul>
