dechao_gong 4416660ce2 arch/arm/ameba: enable SMP on AmebaSmart CA32 (RTL8730E)
RTL8730E has dual Cortex-A32 cores (CA32) in the AP domain.  Core1 is
powered off by default and requires an explicit HSYS power-on sequence
before ATF SP_MIN can service the PSCI CPU_ON call.  Without it, SP_MIN
writes the entry point to the mailbox and times out waiting for Core1 to
poll it.

Add rtl8730e_core1_power_on() that mirrors SDK smp.c:rtk_core1_power_on():
assert reset, assert isolation, two-stage power-on with up_udelay() for
correct 50/50/500/50 us timing, then release isolation and reset.  Call it
from up_cpu_start() before psci_cpu_on().

Enable CONFIG_SMP / CONFIG_SMP_NCPUS=2 / CONFIG_ARM_PSCI in the nsh
defconfig.

Enabling SMP also exposed a latent WHC skb alignment bug: the Realtek
WHC WiFi driver keeps the AP/NP DDR views coherent with by-VA
DCache_Clean/Invalidate at SKB_CACHE_SZ (64 on RTL8730E) granularity,
which requires every skb buffer to be cache-line aligned.  The port had
omitted CONFIG_MM_DEFAULT_ALIGNMENT (defaulting to 8; the 8721Dx parts
set 32), so heap-allocated skb buffers were unaligned and the cache
maintenance spilled onto the neighbouring skb struct, corrupting its
immutable buf pointer (seen as skb->buf = 0x05 and a TX memcpy data
abort on "renew wlan0").  This was harmless on single core -- the
non-shareable DDR mapping made the stray maintenance a no-op -- but the
SMP shareable mapping plus real dual-core concurrency turned it into a
hard fault.  Set CONFIG_MM_DEFAULT_ALIGNMENT=64 in the nsh defconfig.

Hardware verified on RTL8730E (C-cut): /proc/cpuinfo shows both processor 0
and processor 1; getprime 2 completes two concurrent threads in ~573 ms
(same as single-thread), confirming true parallel execution across both cores.
"renew wlan0" now obtains a DHCP lease (192.168.1.101) without faulting.

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.
