[FEATURE] What to be included into NuttX 13.x as breaking change

[acassis]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As discussed in the mailing list, the release 13.x should include breaking features that will be "incompatible" with previous versions. This is a list (in progress) of features to be present on NuttX 13.x

• Simplified boot initialization (removing NSH_ARCHINIT, etc). This feature have been implemented by @linguini1 : !boards: Simplify NuttX initialization #18408 and !apps: Simplify NuttX initialization nuttx-apps#3405

• Remove Hard-Coded password. This feature could be (or not) a breaking change, depending on if the generated /etc/passwd will use the change hash from previous version. Maybe a better suggestion should be using a better crypto algo: sched/nsh: Remove Hard-coded Default Password #18396

• Extend the Common Board idea to Common Driver Board: since the I2C, SPI, etc initialization is basically the same between all boards supported by NuttX (it changes just the functions name: stm32_i2cbus_initialize, cxd56_i2cbus_initialize, etc), we could create a nuttx/boards/common/ with all drivers and just a wrapper to point the the board specific initialization function)

Describe the solution you'd like

We need to list and implement all the breaking changes we want to see on NuttX 13.x

@acassis thanks for creating the ticket!

[cederom]

Hmm we had this kind of ticket here #15737 :-)

With some more or less useful / readable dashboard here #15737 :-)

Anyways, I would keep next major release for the code maturity until then just incrementally work with current 12.x :-)

@cederom very nice! I missed that! I think do put dashboard with the same link to the ticket. Ok, so lets move this discussion to the mainline to collect more ideas. The list of all ideas could be added to a Dashboard/Roadmap

[cederom]

Okay @linguini1 discovered that these "github projects" are supposed to be "per task" not for the whole project as I initially thought sorry, so I have created dedicated dashboard for "Apache NuttX RTOS 13" to keep and easily mark tasks for 13 release :-)
