+NuttX-9.0.0 Release Notes
+-------------------------
+
+This is the first release of NuttX as Apache NuttX (Incubating) and represents our first major milestone as a Podling of the Apache Software Foundation's Incubator. This release is the culmination of nearly 6 months of hard work and includes several new architectures and drivers, and numerous improvements and bug fixes to the core RTOS, drivers, and networking subsystems.
+
+ * Major Changes to Core OS
+ * Bugfixes
+ - nxsem_wait_uninterruptible() now returns if the task is canceled.
+ - Fix a bug in pthread_condwait() that was improperly re-initializing the mutex.
+ - In sched_setpriority(), fix functions called inside a DEBUGASSERT that were eliminated when assertions are disable
+
+ * Compatibility Concerns
+
+ - The configuration option CONFIG_CAN_PASS_STRUCT is now removed. Previously, it was used (at the cost of breaking standards support) to support older versions of the SDCC compiler that couldn't pass structs/unions as functions' parameters. A newer version of the compiler has resolved the issue.
+
+ * Major Changes to Build System
+ - Add a post-build function that allows extending the build with CPU/board-specific logic.
+ - Add build tools to simplify ZDS-II tool usage.
+ - mkexport.sh: Deal with ARCHSCRIPT containing multiple files.
+ - Various nxstyle improvements.
+
+ * Architectural Support
+ * New architecture support
+ - Add support for RISCV-64
+ - Add support for x86_64 (tested on QEMU)
+ - Add support for ELF64

+ - Add initial support for Litex with softcore CPU VexRiscV SoC
+ - Add support for the Digilent ARTY_A7 board to test the Litex port
+ - Added initial support for Sipeed Maix Bit board with Kendryte K210 processor
+ - New architectural support: ez80f92
+ - Flat address x86_64 port of Nuttx
+ - Support to run NuttX on ESP32 QEMU
+ - Initial support for Sipeed Maix Bit board with Kendryte K210 processor
+ - Add initial support for Kendryte K210 processor in SMP mode
+ - NXP S32K11x (Cortex-M0+) and S32K14x (Cortext-M4F): Add support for NXP automotive boards.
+ - XMC 4700 (Cortex-M4F)
+ * Architectures with significant improvements

+ - RX65N RTC Driver added
+ - NXP Freedom K28F Board SD-Card support
+ - STM32H7: support SDRAM via FMC peripheral
+ - LM3S6965-ek: Add PROTECTED build support
+ - STM32H7: Added IWDG and WWDG, power management (sleep/stop/standby), WKUP pin configuration
+ - SAMV71: Add read UID implementation and move flash functions to RAM
+ - i.MX RT: Fix interrupts storm (serial & I2C)
+ - Various fixes and cosmetic changes to the CxD56xx architecture
+ - Fix SiFive FE310 related code (comments, improve serial irq handling, initial int status)
+ - Implement QSPI for STM32H7
+ - Improvements for the nRF52 port: I2C, SPI, GPIO support
+ - Updates for LPC17xx/40xx serial
+ - Adds basic support for Microchip SAM E54 Xplained Pro board
+ - Adds an Ethernet driver for the SAME5x family (based on the SAMA5 GMAC driver)
+ - Add CDC ECM Ethernet over USB 2.0 High Speed (tested on SAMA5D36-Xplained board)
+ - Simulator: Reimplement simulator uart on top of serial driver framework
+ - NXP S32K1XX peripheral clock fixes
+ - Fix syscall stack alignment on armv7-m
