Bug Reports

Found a bug? Send an email to the dev list dev@nuttx.apache.org, or open an issue on the GitHub repository issue tracker.

Before submitting an issue, please:

• Verify that the bug does in fact exist.
• Search the mailing list archives to verify there is no existing issue reporting the bug you’ve found.
• Consider tracking down the bug yourself in the NuttX’s source and submitting a patch along with your bug report. This is a great time saver for the NuttX developers and helps ensure the bug will be fixed quickly.

Feature Requests

Enhancement requests for new features are also welcome. The more concrete and rational the request is, the greater the chance it will be incorporated into future releases.
