Hi,
Did anyone else make any progress with porting your settings code to
NuttX Apps? It's taken a while but I am at long last looking to add a
settings function to my new app and this still looks like it'll fit the
bill nicely.
If not, I will set it up as an app, make sure it works, and submit it
for review hopefully in the next few weeks. I won't add YAML as yet,
just binary - my current think is to use a YAML parser between the user
and this function rather than storing YAML directly, but not 100%
decided yet.

Hello!
Thank you for your interest in this!
As requested, I created a temporal repository and uploaded all the code
there.
https://github.com/fjpanag/code_for_nuttx
I have added a NOTICE file in each subdir, with some basic information.
Please contact me before starting any work, to provide you with help and
coordinate the effort.
Better yet, you may open a Github issue for the piece of software that you
would like to help porting.
Alan,
I would love to cooperate with you in this effort.
Pick your target!
Alin,
I would really like to see my MQTT broker become part of NuttX.
Alternatively, you can have a look at the XML or JSON parsers, which are of
general usefulness,
and the porting effort would be very very minimal.
Tim,
Thank you for your interest in the settings storage.
It is a very useful and versatile piece of software. In fact, I have used
it in all my projects over the last 5-6 years.
I also thought about YAML before, but never got to actually implementing
this.
I suggest you first add a YAML parser to NuttX (maybe similarly to JSON and
XML, if they get accepted),
and then use it in the settings storage. It would be best not to couple
these two softwares so someone
may use one without the other. But, nevertheless, it is your call...
If you provide me with a YAML parser, I believe that I can develop for you
a new settings storage that uses this parser.

I have interest in your settings storage, with the probability of adding
yaml output since I was going to do something similar for my current
project (once I get over the pain of getting NuttX fixed for the arch I'm
using).
As have been suggested, maybe push it to github and I/we can clone what's
of interest, see if it makes sense, then get it working right for NuttX
and
do a PR...in the fullness of time (i.e. I'm a slow worker!)

Hello everyone!
Christmas arrived a bit earlier for NuttX as I would like to donate
some of
my personal code to the community!
A bit of context.
Over the years that I am working on embedded systems, I have developed
lots
of software that I use in my projects.
Some of it is quite general-purpose, or useful for other applications,
and
I have found my self reusing it
quite often. In fact, there are some things that I use in practically
all
firmwares that I have developed over
the last years.
I always wanted to open-source this software so other people can
benefit
from it.
But I never managed to do so. Open-sourcing needs some effort, the
software
needs maintenance, documentation
and support, and most importantly in most cases a "porting layer"
needs to
be developed.
Last but not least, every project needs a bit of "marketing" and
"advertising" so others can learn about
your work and use it.
For the last couple of years I have been using NuttX a lot, and I have
ported most of the aforementioned software
to NuttX. I believe that NuttX and its community are perfect for me to
publish my code, instead of creating
a ton of small repos, of questionable usefulness and increasing my
workload
considerably.
It is very important that I can get immediate feedback from the
community,
learn what people are actually
interested in (instead of investing on software that no one needs),
and
provide actual and *working*
samples of the code (as NuttX already supports a ton of different
boards
and arches).
Using POSIX as the porting layer is also awesome.
That being said, my free time is still exceptionally limited and I
cannot
do this myself.
I still need the help of the community, and most importantly I need to
see
interest in a piece of
software before putting any work on it.
So, what I offer:
* I offer various codes, fully featured, production ready and tested.
* All code will be offered for free (of course) and under Apache
licensing.
* I will provide support to those working on these codes, to my best
ability.
* I will contribute to testing everything integrated to NuttX, as
hardware
availability allows me.
* I will do some licensing check, to ensure code is 100% original and
mine,
or state the licenses
