# Introduction

![NuttX logo](/files/-M9XjbwusXdkkL452GdD)

\
The example starter software provided with the BMS uses the NuttX RTOS (real-time operating system ) for microcontrollers. NuttX RTOS has an emphasis on being 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. The POSIX compliance on embedded devices is what makes it attractive particularly to developers that are used to programming in a Linux environment.\
\
The NuttX code repository can be found here: <https://github.com/NXPHoverGames/RDDRONE-BMS772>\
Please follow the step by step instructions in the github readme.md in order to get started with this code. We will update it and provide clarifications there as needed.&#x20;

Currently the RDDRONE-BMS772 is supported in the Model-Based Design Toolbox (MBDT) for Matlab/Simulink. See <https://community.nxp.com/t5/NXP-Model-Based-Design-Tools/Example-Model-RDDRONE-BMS772/ta-p/1550394>.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://nxp.gitbook.io/rddrone-bms772/software-guide-nuttx/introduction.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
