Long story short, you can use the same repo clone for totally different builds, just remember to `make clean distclean` before a new build. Each new build is initiated with `./tools/configure.sh [switches] <board:config>`. For sure you can have multiple repo clones aka workspaces to work on a different projects in parallel :-) See documentation :-) https://nuttx.apache.org/docs/latest/quickstart/index.html > This link has a nice overview, but it doesn't cover how to handle > multiple boards: > https://www.cocoacrumbs.com/blog/2021-10-25-nuttx-on-the-stm32f769-disco-board/ There is another way to deal with the task and many of us use this approach called "out of tree boards" - you keep one clone of nuttx and nuttx-apps in one place, and keep your projects in a separate place. https://nuttx.apache.org/docs/latest/guides/customboards.html > Thanks for any insight, and my deepest apologies if this is the wrong > place for these questions. You are always welcome to ask questions. We often discuss different tasks and ideas here openly so everyone can learn new stuff and get better insight / understanding this is our ultimate goal :-) If you miss something in the documentation you are more than welcome to send PR with the missing contents.. documentation is part of the nuttx.git repo :-) Have fun! :-) Tomek -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
