   These sim tests are very valuable.  We should encourage a suite of sim tests to verify all major features.  That would be a first step toward some automated regression testing.
   
   Regression testing is sorely needed.  NuttX is gaining a reputation for being unstable.  Alan pointer this out to me:  https://www.embarcados.com.br/blink-led-no-esp32-com-o-rtos-nuttx/#comment-10549  It is in Portuguese, but translates to:
   
   "Professional readers who may be curious about using NuttX, don't bother.  The latest versions are fundamentally broken, the howtos are out of date.  The email list is practically dead… it's a shame because it was a very interesting concept .. a posix in a small footprint..."
   
   That assessment is harsh and arguable, but still has an essence of truth.
