Hi Matteo, Nice to know you are doing processes!
The diagnostic LEDs (CONFIG_ARCH_LEDS) is also "very board specific", the Documentation highlights it here: https://nuttx.apache.org/docs/latest/reference/os/led.html Also, the board_autoled_on/off depends on how your LED is physically connected on your board: common cathode / common anode. You need to keep it in mind to configure your board LED for diagnostics purposes correctly.
