Hi Alan, Thank you for the quick reply. The proposed method would indeed work. To enhance it I could even use a little script to update the "mynsh" in the external directory (to support multiple defconfigs).
The symbolic link however shows up as a difference in the repository and this complicates keeping nuttx in sync with github. I will have a look whether it is not easier to use the custom boards approach. Kind regards, Jehudi Op do 19 dec 2024 om 15:36 schreef Alan C.
