Marco Casaroli 77f263b4fa cmake: Build FDPIC modules the way the make build does.
The same two differences as in common/Toolchain.defs: the compiler is told
-mfdpic -fPIC, and the module link is done by an arm-uclinuxfdpiceabi
linker.

That linker is not the one that links the firmware, so the module link needs
a variable of its own.  CMAKE_ELF_LD is the ordinary linker unless the
architecture sets it, which arm does under CONFIG_FDPIC.

The linker script needs nothing here: it is generated from
libs/libc/elf/gnu-elf.ld.in, which both build systems preprocess, and the
FDPIC segments are already in it.

-r is now conditional on CONFIG_PIC being off, which is what
common/Toolchain.defs has always done and the cmake build did not: a
position independent module is linked as an executable, and an FDPIC one as
a shared object, so neither wants it.

-fno-use-cxa-atexit mirrors CXXELFFLAGS for the same reason it was added
there.

Configured and built mps3-an547:picostest with CONFIG_FDPIC through cmake and
ninja: the modules in bin/ are ARM FDPIC with two PT_LOAD segments.

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.
