I don't like zephyr, but 'west flash' is a good thing they did. I proposed this in the past when there was a discussion about how to make nuttx more popular.
You could create phony target 'make flash', which could propagate it to make.def in board directory. I think something like that is mandatory if nuttx should be more popular. To be more popular it must get more user friendly. Not everyone wants to fight with bootloader/flashing. They just want to realize their idea - and not learn build system and flashing tools. I also hate to say that - but if you are commited to cmake (ugh) it might be good idea to drop raw Makefile support. This just makes things more complicated for both maintaners and end user - nuttx is giving kinda useless choice for the end user here I think ;) > Off the top of my head I don't remember whether the STMF7 family has a ROM > bootloader.

On chip bootloaders are often very limited and are more suited for recovery than final product usage. Custom bootloader can be relatively easily configure to - for example - fetch image from tftp and boot it - awesome for development. -- .-----------------.-------------------.----------------------.-----------------. | Michal Lyszczek | Embedded C, Linux | Company Address | .-. opensource | | +48 727 564 419 | Software Engineer | Akacjowa 10a; 55-330 | oo| supporter | | https://bofc.pl `----.--------------: Brzezinka Sredzka PL | /`'\ & | | GPG FF1EBFE7E3A974B1 | Bits of Code | NIP: 813 349 58 78 |(\_;/) programer | `----------------------^--------------^----------------------^-----------------'
