Hi @acassis , Thank you for making this issue! I actually ran into this and was stuck for a bit until I searched for "failed to refresh" on here and found this post. I was following step 4 of this [guide](https://nuttx.apache.org/docs/latest/contributing/making-changes.html) and made the mistake of not naming my cloned repos "nuttx" and "apps". Instead, I gave them the name of my forked nuttx repo. (`nuttx-forked`, `nuttx-apps-forked`) In other words, I did: ``` git clone <your forked nuttx project clone url> git clone <your forked nuttx-apps project clone url> ``` instead of ``` git clone <your forked nuttx project clone url> nuttx git clone <your forked nuttx-apps project clone url> apps ``` I think a note under step 4 would be helpful to future users: """ You **must** name the cloned repos "**nuttx**" and "**apps**", respectively, and they **must** reside in the same directory. Failure to do so will result in an error when running `.tools/configure.sh` similar to below: ``` Kconfig:2299: can't open file "/Kconfig" make: *** [tools/Unix.mk:680: olddefconfig] Error 1 ERROR: failed to refresh ``` """ Thanks! -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
