Running one for the first time turned up two holes in the ET_DYN path. Neither shows up in a build. An undefined symbol is resolved with libelf_findglobal(), which searches only the table of globally registered symbols. The export table that exec() hands its caller went no further than the ET_REL path, so an ET_DYN module could not import anything the caller supplied. Invisible while such modules resolved everything internally; an FDPIC module imports its libc, and every import failed with "Unable to resolve addr of ext ref printf" although the caller had passed a table containing printf. The export table is now threaded into libelf_relocatedyn() and consulted when the global table has no answer, leaving the existing lookup order intact. A relocation naming a symbol defined inside the object was dropped silently. The code handles a relocation with no symbol, and one against an undefined symbol, but a defined symbol fell through both. That was harmless while every dynamic relocation arriving here had symbol index zero, which is the case for R_ARM_RELATIVE. FDPIC brings the first ones that do not: a pointer to a static function is emitted against the *section* symbol, so the value is the section base and the offset within it -- including the Thumb bit -- is carried as the addend. Deriving a value from the word being patched, as the no-symbol case does, would translate that addend as though it were an address. Confirmed against a real module: .text at 0x23c plus an addend of 0x95 gives 0x2d1, which is the function with its Thumb bit. Also stop libelf_symname() reporting a nameless symbol as an error. A section symbol has no name, and libelf_findsymbol() walks the whole table looking for optional entries such as nx_stacksize, so it meets these routinely and checks for -ESRCH itself. At error level it printed ten or more lines per module load and buried the diagnostics that matter. Built and run on lm3s6965-ek with the examples/elf ROMFS. The ET_REL test modules load as before, and an FDPIC module now loads, relocates, resolves printf and puts from the table exec() supplied, and calls through a function descriptor of its own.

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.

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.
