Lwazi Dube e593ba35a4 arch/mips: Add basic support for MIPS Creator CI20 board
This commit introduces a rudimentary architecture and board port for the
MIPS Creator CI20, featuring the dual core Ingenic JZ4780 SoC (MIPS32).

Included in this initial implementation:
- Basic architectural initialization and startup code for the JZ4780 Core 0.
- Minimal configuration required to execute from RAM.
- Early UART/serial console support for basic debugging and NSH output.
- Minimal board-specific configuration for the CI20 target.
- Console output is routed via UART0 on the expansion header.

This establishes basic support for running NuttX on the MIPS CI20.
Further peripherals, optimization, and extended documentation are left for
future iterations or community contributions.

Build and Runtime Deployment Info:
----------------------------------

The baseline can be configured, compiled using the MIPS MTI toolchain,
and loaded via U-Boot using the following commands (replace
<tftp_dir> with your local TFTP root directory).

./tools/configure.sh -l ci20/nsh
  make CROSSDEV=mips-mti-elf-
  mkimage -A mips -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x80000180 -e 0x800004ac \
    -n "nx" -d nuttx.bin <tftp_dir>/nuttx.umg

Note: U-Boot must be properly configured for networking (e.g., valid ipaddr,
serverip, and ethaddr environment variables) to fetch the image over TFTP.

Run this from U-Boot prompt:
  tftp nuttx.umg && bootm $fileaddr

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.
