Agreed! Gosh I am hoping I am not talking down to people. I just remember my learning curve with git. If we are continuing to use git and I assume we are: My comments are meant to help people that do not understand how to use git for the process and evaluate what they will have to do if we choose a specific implementation.
Would you please layout the step for using patches and educate us on that process as well David -----Original Message----- From: Gregory Nutt [mailto:spudan...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2019 8:19 AM To: dev@nuttx.apache.org Subject: Re: [DISCUSS - NuttX Workflow] >> What about the people who are just learning Nuttx?

It is only driven by end users needs and project objects. NOT by implementation. That is the nature of System Engineering: top-down Design for an implementation, on the other hand, is usually a bottoms-up activity: You implement the lowest level foundations of the system and build on top of that to complete the full functional requirements. This is extreme bad, bad engineering to drive system functional requirements base on pre-determined implementation of the lowest level. It is a terrible, unprofessional practice. We need to keep proper top-down system engineering practices, and not get derailed by this low level stuff. We do indeed need pick the nicest dress from show room window based upon what we really want, not be rummaging through the bargain for the cheapest thing. Let's get profressional! Greg
