digiexchris opened a new issue, #15770: URL: https://github.com/apache/nuttx/issues/15770
### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have a cmake project that is using nuttx as a library (make export). It would be more convenient for me if I could do out of tree building like the wiki suggests. https://nuttx.apache.org/docs/latest/quickstart/compiling_cmake.html#out-of-tree-building . This works fine with the board stated in the example, but as there are CMakeLists.txt files missing from the rp2040 and rp2040/<boardname> directories, CMake cannot generate a configuration for any RP2040 boards. I use nuttx-base as a submodule in order to ensure I keep it clean and are able to sync with main quickly so an out of tree build is ideal. ### Describe the solution you'd like With the RP2040 boards becoming popular, and CMake use increasing, please consider providing cmake out-of-tree support for the RP2040 (or at least the basic rp2040/raspberrypi-pico) to enable the CMake out of tree example to work: cmake -B build -DBOARD_CONFIG=raspberrypi-pico:usbnsh -GNinja ### Describe alternatives you've considered For a reason I don't quite understand, the exported tarball contains target and toolchain cmake files that when I reference them directly in my cmakelists.txt files, I can compile for an RP2040 successfully. This suggests to me that there may already be some measure of CMake generation for those boards in place already, and maybe just need to create matching CMakeLists.txt files from that. This is currently my workaround, but exporting a new export every time I change config options is tiresome during the initial phase where I'm working through config options during the early phases of a project. I'd prefer if I can just build against a normal nuttx dir out of tree like is possible with the stm32f4-disco. ### Verification - [x] I have verified before submitting the report. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
