Hi David, I'm happy to hear your kind words, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but LPC2378 was broken feel years ago, see:
https://github.com/apache/nuttx/issues/8966 I did git bisect and found the root causes of the issue, but I didn't work yet with Anchao to fix it. If you really want to use LPC2378 I suggest using a version just before that commit (since I think git revert will not work). I'm also interested in getting LPC2378 working again. The Olimex-LPC3278 was the first board I tried NuttX and it worked "out of the box" and that got me. I have been working with uClinux since 2001 and soon I realized NuttX was what I was expecting uClinux to be. Alternatively, if you just want to try SDCard and ELF, you can also use other boards (with STM32, ESP32, SAMD5, SAMV7, iMXRT, etc).
