Thank you Brennan,

Yes, I understood the point. Maybe an option could be keep the board
documentation at
Documentation/platforms/arm/stm32/boards/stm32f4discovery/ and put a
symbolic link at boards/xxx/yyy/boardname/README.rst point to it.

Or just use a boards/xxx/yyy/boardname/README.txt with a single line
saying the documentation is for this board is at
Documentation/platforms/xxx/yyy/boards/bordname/

This way someone new to NuttX that download the source code will
figure out the board documentation faster.

BR,

Alan
