= Getting Started with NuttX – FreeScale / NXP Kinetis Tower K64F120M (Arch Linux)

Here we will try to set up a functional Nuttx environment on a TWR-K64F120M Tower evaluation board, combined with the TWR-SER for Ethernet access on Arch Linux OS.

...

• nsh: uses the main board only. nsh prompt will be available on OpenSDA serial bridge. SDHC card is automounted in /mnt/sdcard
• netnsh: uses main board coupled with TWR-SER board. nsh prompt will be available on both OpenSDA serial bridge and Ethernet

Installing the ARM tool chain

See "Getting Started with NuttX – Nucleo STM32F303 (Arch Linux)" page for instructions.

Install Nuttx

$ mkdir twr-k64f120m; cd twr-k64f120m
$ git clone https://bitbucket.org/nuttx/nuttx
$ git clone https://bitbucket.org/nuttx/apps

$ cd nuttx
$ tools/configure.sh twr-k64f120m:nsh
$ tools/configure.sh twr-k64f120m:netnsh

...

One can see the firmware nuttx.hex has been successfully generated.
