> It is not only about maintenance, it is about consistence: all boards (not
matter which family or arch) follow a standard for consistence. Imagine if each
author decided to create his/her own board structure? It will be a chaos to
understand how do find the right file to modify.
This is quite clear to me: most of the feedback here is valid and I agree
with it.
That said, I'd like to raise a broader point. Many of you are experienced
not only with NuttX but with RTOS development in general. Have you considered
how many developers stay away from NuttX simply because the learning curve is
steeper than it needs to be? It took me nearly a year to feel comfortable with
this system — and that kind of friction keeps good contributors out.
I'm not saying my approach is correct. But I am committed to pushing NuttX
in a direction that is more accessible, alongside the technical quality it
already has. This PR was never just about the board port — it was also a
proposal for a conversation. And I think it was a good start. While it I'm
fixing what I can fix. Thank you for your time and feedback :)
