+INTRODUCTION
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ Apache NuttX (Incubating) 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 RTOSs (such as VxWorks) are adopted for functionality not
+ available under these standards, or for functionality that is not
+ appropriate for deeply-embedded environments (such as fork()).
+
+ Extensive documentation can be found on the project wiki:
+
+ https://cwiki.apache.org/NUTTX/Nuttx
+
+Incubation Status
+-----------------
+
+ Apache NuttX (Incubating) is an effort undergoing Incubation at The Apache
+ Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Incubator. For more on our
+ incubation effort, please see the file DISCLAIMER-WIP, in the same
+ directory as this README.
+
+ For brevity, the rest of this file will refer to it as Apache NuttX or
+ simply NuttX.
+
+COMMUNITY

+ it. We invite you to participate as much or as little as you choose.
