doing this:
- First, a ROM disk device must be created. This is done by calling
the function romdisk_register() as described in

NOTE: The full TZ database is quite large. To create a reasonable sized
ROMFS image, I had to trim some of the files like this:
make context
cd ../apps/system/zoneinfo/tzbin/etc/zoneinfo
Remove as many timezone files as you can. Do not remove the GMT, localtime,
or posixrules files. Those might be needed in any event. Then you can
force rebuilding of the ROMFS filesystem be removing some files:
cd ../../..
rm romfs_zoneinfo.*
rm *.o
cd ../../nuttx
