Changes to Build System

In Apps, Change $(TOPDIR) to $(APPDIR)

In the 'apps' repo, Makefiles are now using $(APPDIR) instead of $(TOPDIR).

In your custom app's Makefile, it is recommended to change $(TOPDIR) to $(APPDIR).

Replace this line:

include $(TOPDIR)/Make.defs

With this:

include $(APPDIR)/Make.defs

See git commit # deaa6c5b7bf8445b4a300691525f60aa506be0d7 in the NuttX 'apps' repository.

Custom Boards Don't Need ARCHINCLUDES and ARCHXXINCLUDES Definitions

As part of an effort to unify support for uClibc++ and libc++, the C/C++ include search path definitions ARCHINCLUDES and ARCHXXINCLUDES are now defined in one central place in tools/Config.mk. It is no longer necessary to define these in every board's scripts/Make.defs. Boards included in the NuttX repository have been updated, but if you are building NuttX for a custom board, you may want to make the following changes to your custom board's scripts/Make.defs file:

Remove lines like these:

CINCPATH := ${shell $(INCDIR) -s "$(CC)" $(TOPDIR)$(DELIM)include}
CXXINCPATH := ${shell $(INCDIR) -s "$(CC)" $(TOPDIR)$(DELIM)include$(DELIM)cxx}
ARCHINCLUDES += $(CINCPATH)
ARCHXXINCLUDES += $(CINCPATH) $(CXXINCPATH)

In case your scripts/Make.defs uses different names, such as ARCHINCLUDESXX instead of ARCHXXINCLUDES, you'll need to find all uses of that variable and update them to use ARCHXXINCLUDES.

See git commit #d32e9c38dfb0659a7f3c0cf586ba1584cd7eb3d6 in the main NuttX repository. See also the preceding commit, 6abd03d53ff9164fb17ea4aca701a49fbbf751c0.

How to Clone the Git Repository

The Apache NuttX project uses Git SCM as its version control system.

There are two primary repositories:

  • nuttx - The real time operating system itself.
  • apps - Optional applications and example programs for the operating system. You can use this repository or make your own custom one.

The main "Single Source of Truth" repositories are hosted by the ASF:

These are synchronized with repositories hosted at GitHub:
