Looks interesting. I think it's on-topic. But it throws a monkey wrench on the way we support boards currently. Each combination of base board + adapter + MCU is a separate "board" for NuttX, and possibly under a different subdirectory of boards. How do we handle that? Perhaps a "board generator" utility that asks a few questions and creates the code for your combination? Just thinking out loud
