#643 — Introducing NuttX, a realtime BSD

From the "but how do you pronounce it" department:
Title: BSD Real-Time Operating System NuttX Makes Its 100th Release: NuttX 6.33

paugq writes "NuttX is a real-time operating system (RTOS) with an emphasis
on standards compliance and small footprint. Scalable from 8-bit to 32-bit
microcontroller environments, the primary governing standards in NuttX are
POSIX and ANSI standards. Additional standard APIs from Unix and other common
RTOS's (such as VxWorks) are adopted for functionality not available under
these standards, or for functionality that is not appropriate for
deeply-embedded environments. NuttX was first released in 2007 by Gregory
Nutt under the permissive BSD license, and today the 100th release was made:
NuttX 6.33. Supported platforms include ARM, Atmel AVR, x86, Z80 and others."

I looked into this one before, as I was interested in setting up a drone autopilot system
that uses it. This is a far-off goal for me though, as I'm having plenty of fun flying my
planes and multi-rotors manually. Besides, I can get very simple autopilot-like functions
(return to home, GPS boundaries, straight/level flight) with easier-to-manage systems.
If I ever want to do GPS waypoints, however, this is the route I would go:

In general, NuttX is regarded pretty highly for being a very Linux-like platform with a
tiny footprint (20k to 40k). It also has excellent online documentation.
