Marco Casaroli b7eabe73a0 Documentation/xipfs: Document the execute-in-place file system.
Describe the write-once usage model, the strict in-place mmap and what
MAP_XIP_STRICT is for, extent pinning, manual defragmentation and how to read
its result, the power-loss ordering, the on-media layout, and the
limitations.

The NXFLAT page said ROMFS was the only file system able to serve the XIP
mappings its loader needs.  That is now one of two, so point at both, and at
what the writable one adds: a module can arrive at run time instead of being
baked into a host-built image.

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.
