Nuttx currently has 2 types of sleep interfaces: 1. Signal-scheduled sleep: nxsig_sleep() / nxsig_usleep() / nxsig_nanosleep() Weaknesses: a. Signal-dependent: The signal-scheduled sleep method is bound to the signal framework, while some driver sleep operations do not depend on signals. b. Timespec conversion: Signal-scheduled sleep involves timespec conversion, which has a significant impact on performance. 2. Busy sleep: up_mdelay() / up_udelay() Weaknesses: a. Does not actively trigger scheduling, occupy the CPU loading. 3. New interfaces: Scheduled sleep: nxsched_sleep() / nxsched_usleep() / nxsched_msleep() / nxsched_ticksleep() Strengths: a. Does not depend on the signal framework. b. Tick-based, without additional computational overhead. Currently, the Nuttx driver framework extensively uses nxsig_* interfaces. However, the driver does not need to rely on signals or timespec conversion. Therefore, a new set of APIs is added to reduce dependencies on other modules. (This PR also aims to make signals optional, further reducing the code size of Nuttx.) Signed-off-by: chao an <anchao.archer@bytedance.com>
Apache NuttX is a real-time operating system (RTOS) with an emphasis on standards compliance and small footprint. Scalable from 8-bit to 64-bit microcontroller environments, the primary governing standards in NuttX are POSIX and ANSI standards. Additional standard APIs from Unix and other common RTOSs (such as VxWorks) are adopted for functionality not available under these standards, or for functionality that is not appropriate for deeply-embedded environments (such as fork()).
For brevity, many parts of the documentation will refer to Apache NuttX as simply NuttX.
Getting Started
First time on NuttX? Read the Getting Started guide! If you don't have a board available, NuttX has its own simulator that you can run on terminal.
Documentation
You can find the current NuttX documentation on the Documentation Page.
Alternatively, you can build the documentation yourself by following the Documentation Build Instructions.
The old NuttX documentation is still available in the Apache wiki.
Supported Boards
NuttX supports a wide variety of platforms. See the full list on the Supported Platforms page.
