Thank you for this article! That is very cool! Personally I hope to see NuttX running on Raspberry Pi 4 devices one of these days. Currently a project I'm working on is using a lightweight Linux distro on these devices, but despite being lightweight in comparison to desktop Linux, is still orders of magnitude larger and more complex than NuttX would be. Also, although there are realtime extensions available for Linux, after quite a lot of work I have still not succeeded to build a usable kernel for these devices which includes those extensions. NuttX is real-time by definition and would be much simpler, much more efficient, much less bloated, and much easier to work with, at least for the applications I'm concerned with. Based on my reading of the above article, perhaps NuttX booting on these devices isn't too far-fetched today, even if we'll be missing many device drivers for the time being. Great work! Kudos for the well-written article, and thanks for sharing! Cheers, Nathan
