Jorge Guzman f0a870baab drivers/usbhost: report the HID keyboard through the keyboard upper half
The driver kept a character device, a ring buffer, a poll waiter list
and an encoder of its own, in parallel with everything the keyboard
upper half already provides.  A USB keyboard was therefore the one
keyboard an application could not read like any other.

Register with keyboard_register() and report with keyboard_event(),
which removes the private character device and the four hundred lines
that served it.  Special keys are reported with the SPEC event types
carrying a keycode, so an application no longer has to guess whether a
value in the character range is a character or an arrow key.

HIDKBD_ENCODED and HIDKBD_NODEBOUNCE go away with the code they guarded.
Encoding is now inherent to the event, and the previous report is no
longer an optimisation:  a HID keyboard reports the keys that are down
rather than the transitions, so it is what tells a new press from a key
still held, and what tells that a key has been released.

Reporting the modifiers as keys is new, so it is behind
HIDKBD_REPORT_MODIFIERS and off by default.

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.
