Jorge Guzman e00a3a0a2f drivers/input: add a byte stream mode to the keyboard upper half
The USB HID keyboard driver is about to report through the upper half
rather than through a character device of its own, which changes what
read() returns from a byte stream to struct keyboard_event_s.  Ten
in-tree configurations have an application that consumes the byte
stream.

Add INPUT_KEYBOARD_BYTESTREAM, which renders each event with the
keyboard codec instead of copying the event structure, so those
applications keep working while they are converted.

Only the press events are rendered.  A byte stream has no way to say
that a key came up, which is exactly what a keyboard reporting through a
character device has always delivered, so this reproduces the previous
behaviour rather than adding to 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.
