Add NuttX based targets for RISC-V and ARM
Apache NuttX is a real-time operating system (RTOS) with an emphasis on standards compliance and small footprint. It is scalable from 8-bit to 64-bit microcontroller environments. The primary governing standards in NuttX are POSIX and ANSI standards. NuttX adopts additional standard APIs from Unix and other common RTOSs, such as VxWorks. These APIs are used for functionality not available under the POSIX and ANSI standards. However, some APIs, like fork(), are not appropriate for deeply-embedded environments and are not implemented in NuttX. For brevity, many parts of the documentation will refer to Apache NuttX as simply NuttX. I'll be adding libstd support for NuttX in the future, but for now I'll just add the targets. Tier 3 policy: > A tier 3 target must have a designated developer or developers (the "target > maintainers") on record to be CCed when issues arise regarding the target. > (The mechanism to track and CC such developers may evolve over time.) I will be the target maintainer for this target on matters that pertain to the NuttX part of the triple. For matters pertaining to the riscv or arm part of the triple, there should be no difference from all other targets. If there are issues, I will address issues regarding the target. > Targets must use naming consistent with any existing targets; for instance, a > target for the same CPU or OS as an existing Rust target should use the same > name for that CPU or OS. Targets should normally use the same names and > naming conventions as used elsewhere in the broader ecosystem beyond Rust > (such as in other toolchains), unless they have a very good reason to > diverge. Changing the name of a target can be highly disruptive, especially > once the target reaches a higher tier, so getting the name right is important > even for a tier 3 target. This is a new supported OS, so I have taken the origin target like `riscv32imac-unknown-none-elf` or `thumbv7m-none-eabi` and changed the `os` section to `nuttx`. > Target names should not introduce undue confusion or ambiguity unless > absolutely necessary to maintain ecosystem compatibility. For example, if > the name of the target makes people extremely likely to form incorrect > beliefs about what it targets, the name should be changed or augmented to > disambiguate it. I feel that the target name does not introduce any ambiguity. > Tier 3 targets may have unusual requirements to build or use, but must not > create legal issues or impose onerous legal terms for the Rust project or for > Rust developers or users. The only unusual requirement for building the compiler-builtins crate is a standard RISC-V or ARM C compiler supported by cc-rs, and using this target does not require any additional software beyond what is shipped by rustup. > The target must not introduce license incompatibilities. All of the additional code will use Apache-2.0. > Anything added to the Rust repository must be under the standard Rust > license (`MIT OR Apache-2.0`). Agreed, and there is no problem here. > The target must not cause the Rust tools or libraries built for any other > host (even when supporting cross-compilation to the target) to depend > on any new dependency less permissive than the Rust licensing policy. This > applies whether the dependency is a Rust crate that would require adding > new license exceptions (as specified by the `tidy` tool in the > rust-lang/rust repository), or whether the dependency is a native library > or binary. In other words, the introduction of the target must not cause a > user installing or running a version of Rust or the Rust tools to be > subject to any new license requirements. No new dependencies are added. > Compiling, linking, and emitting functional binaries, libraries, or other > code for the target (whether hosted on the target itself or cross-compiling > from another target) must not depend on proprietary (non-FOSS) libraries. > Host tools built for the target itself may depend on the ordinary runtime > libraries supplied by the platform and commonly used by other applications > built for the target, but those libraries must not be required for code > generation for the target; cross-compilation to the target must not require > such libraries at all. For instance, `rustc` built for the target may > depend on a common proprietary C runtime library or console output library, > but must not depend on a proprietary code generation library or code > optimization library. Rust's license permits such combinations, but the > Rust project has no interest in maintaining such combinations within the > scope of Rust itself, even at tier 3. Linking is performed by rust-lld > "onerous" here is an intentionally subjective term. At a minimum, "onerous" > legal/licensing terms include but are *not* limited to: non-disclosure > requirements, non-compete requirements, contributor license agreements > (CLAs) or equivalent, "non-commercial"/"research-only"/etc terms, > requirements conditional on the employer or employment of any particular > Rust developers, revocable terms, any requirements that create liability > for the Rust project or its developers or users, or any requirements that > adversely affect the livelihood or prospects of the Rust project or its > developers or users. There are no terms. NuttX is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license. > Neither this policy nor any decisions made regarding targets shall create any > binding agreement or estoppel by any party.

I'm not the reviewer here. > This requirement does not prevent part or all of this policy from being > cited in an explicit contract or work agreement (e.g. to implement or > maintain support for a target). This requirement exists to ensure that a > developer or team responsible for reviewing and approving a target does not > face any legal threats or obligations that would prevent them from freely > exercising their judgment in such approval, even if such judgment involves > subjective matters or goes beyond the letter of these requirements.
