Hi,

This email address seems to be the only appropriate one for this message
even though this is not a bug report!

Rather - quite the opposite. It is a big thank you to the team and
especially Gregory Nutt.

I have been following NuttX for a "long" time. (Pre Apache) but up until
now out of interest - not because I need an RTOS.

I have a Keil MCB2300 board which has the NXP LPC2368 CPU as the
processor. Same family as LPC2378 which is supported by NuttX.

Anyway, I need a stable well-tested platform to use to get an SD/MMC
interface running. I can see that SD/MMC is supported in the drivers
directory. I tried building the Olimex-lpc2378 / nsh project just as a
starting-point.

I have my Codesourcery ARM toolchain in a slightly different location
than the given default so I put the path to the Codesourcery tools at
the front of my $PATH. Following the instructions it "just worked" and
within seconds of compiling and linking I had the .bin and ELF executables!

One of the advantages of NuttX is the simple build environment. I am
familiar with other operating systems which require a number of
supporting programs/packages (Python - I'm looking at you) in order to
simply generate and build the code for a supported platform. NuttX is SO
refreshing in this regard.

So, again a BIG thank you to Gregory and the team.

As a side note, it only took me a few minutes of work to generate an
MCB2300 configuration and build what I hope will be a functional
executable! Next job is to erase the FLASH and reprogram it with the
NuttX/nsh image.

Once I am happy that this is working, I can get on with the "real" job
of getting the SD/MMC driver running. This is a real time-saver for me
so thanks again.

Best Regards,

David
