Alan Carvalho de Assis c027e7c3e4 tools: fix stale archive members surviving a Kconfig-driven CSRCS change
During the Toybox port to NuttX, Claude noticed that changes in the
menuconfig weren't taking affect. This issue exists for a long time on
NuttX, in fact BayLibre's presentation from 2017 make jokes about our
building system not been reliable:

Stale archive members from $(AR)'s additive-only behavior can linger
after Kconfig toggles change which files provide a symbol, causing dead
weight or "multiple definition" link errors on incremental builds.
Fixed by splitting ARCHIVE into two macros: ARCHIVE keeps the original
additive behavior for apps/libapps.a, which many independent
subdirectories contribute to across a build, while the new
ARCHIVE_REBUILD deletes then archives for the far more common case
of a single Makefile building its own self-contained $(OBJS)
- all 39 such call sites now use it.

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.
