Hello everyone,

Yesterday my PR was merged to add preliminary support for the BCM2711 chip and 
Raspberry Pi 4B board.
You can take a look here if you'd like to see the changes: 
https://github.com/apache/nuttx/pull/15188
Thanks again to all the reviewers who helped me learn some of the build 
processes!

The PR really only has support for a Mini-UART NSH console and a half-working 
I2C driver that can only read from the
bus. There is also a GPIO device driver with a couple GPIO pin examples. I 
slowed down on development because of course
work and couldn't finish much more.

I wanted to let the community know about this change so that if you happen to 
own a Raspberry Pi 4B, you can try NuttX
on there! I think this board will be an asset to the supported platforms 
because it's very popular and has a lot of
features, like dual HDMI, audio, Ethernet connectivity, USB ports, etc. 
However, none of those are working right now. If
you happen to have a Pi 4B and you're interested in adding features, that would 
be great! I'll be getting back on it
once my academics cool down a little more.

It would be especially useful if you have a 1GB, 2GB or 8GB RAM version of the 
Pi and can confirm if NuttX boots; it's
only been tested on the 4GB RAM variant right now and the memory map does 
change across variants.

Thank you and happy holidays!

Matteo
