!boards: enforce secure ROMFS passwd and TEA key setup
Remove implicit default credentials and add build-time validation.
Add check_passwd_keys.sh and gen_passwd_keys.sh; run key setup via
passwd_keys.mk before config.h is generated. Mirror the same logic in
cmake/nuttx_add_romfs.cmake for CMake builds.

BREAKING CHANGE: Builds with CONFIG_BOARD_ETC_ROMFS_PASSWD_ENABLE=y now
require an explicit admin password and non-default TEA keys. The
Kconfig default password "Administrator" and default TEA keys are no
longer accepted. Fix: run make menuconfig, set Admin password under
Board Selection -> Auto-generate /etc/passwd, enable random TEA keys or
set CONFIG_FSUTILS_PASSWD_KEY1..4 manually, and use NSH login with
Encrypted password file verification.

POSIX Badge License Issues Tracking Badge Contributors GitHub Build Badge Documentation Badge

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.

Contributing

If you wish to contribute to the NuttX project, read the Contributing guidelines for information on Git usage, coding standard, workflow and the NuttX principles.
