Hi.
I've created several board support packages, each in its own out-of-tree
directory. Ive configured them as custom boards with a relative path
like ...
+- nuttx
+- apps
+- company-boards
| +- board1
| +- board2
| +- board3
+- company-apps
| +- app1
| +- app2
...
Works fine.
These boards have different microcontrollers from different
architectures, but they all have common hardware and configuration
items. It would be very helpful, it i could share code between the
boards like...
+- company-boards
| +- board1
| +-Kconfig
| +-src
| +- board2
| +-Kconfig
| +-src
| +- board3
| +-Kconfig
| +-src
| +- board-common <-- NEW SHARED DIRECTORY
| +-Kconfig
| +-src
so I can reference the common codefrom each board. The shared code is
kernel code, custom drivers, driver initialisation etc, no application
logic, and since it is very specific to my hardware the nuttx tree is
not a good place for it.
How do I do it the correct way?
I've notices that the board Kconfig gets copied over to
nuttx/boards/dummy, so a mere "source ../../board-common/Kconfig"
doesn't work. I managed to make Kconfig work by using "source
$TOPDIR/../company-boards/board-common/Kconfig". Now I'm stuck with
makefiles.
Best regards
