There are thousands of them on NuttX, but I think the simple examples
to get the idea are the sensor drivers (I2C/SPI) :

$ ls drivers/sensors/
adt7320.c       bh1749nuc.c   hts221.c    lm75.c        mcp9844.c
sensor_rpmsg.c

adxl345_base.c  bmg160.c      ina219.c    lps25h.c      mlx90614.c  sht21.c
adxl345.h       bmi160.c      ina226.c    lsm303agr.c   mpl115a.c   sht3x.c
adxl345_i2c.c   bmi270.c      ina3221.c   lsm330_spi.c  mpu60x0.c   sps30.c
adxl345_spi.c   bmp180.c      isl29023.c  lsm6dsl.c     mpu9250.c   t67xx.c
adxl372.c       bmp280.c      Kconfig     lsm9ds1.c     ms5611.c    usensor.c
aht10.c         dhtxx.c       kxtj9.c     ltc4151.c     ms58xx.c    veml6070.c
ak09912.c       ds18b20.c     l3gd20.c    ltr308.c      msa301.c    vl53l1x.c
apds9922.c      fakesensor.c  lis2dh.c    Make.defs     wtgahrs2.c
apds9960.c      fxos8700cq.c  lis331dl.c  max31855.c    xen1210.c
as5048a.c       hall3ph.c     lis3dh.c    max44009.c    scd30.c     xen1210.h
as5048b.c       hc_sr04.c     lis3dsh.c   max6675.c     scd41.c
as726x.c        hdc1008.c     lis3mdl.c   mb7040.c      sensor.c

Think of NuttX like a Unix system, where (*almost*) everything is a file.

So, the application will read data from sensors reading i.e. /dev/temp0
