zephyr_boards

This repository contains out-of-tree board definitions for the Zephyr RTOS, maintained by CogniPilot and NXP. It provides support for custom hardware, experimental boards, and specific revisions that have not yet been merged into the upstream Zephyr project.

By adding this repository to your west workspace, you can easily build applications for these boards using standard Zephyr tooling.

Supported Boards

Board Name	Zephyr Target name	PCB Design Files / Hardware Source
NXP MR-MCXN-T1 Hub (Spinali)	mr_mcxn_t1	CogniPilot/spinali_mcxn_t1_hub
NXP MR-VMU-Tropic	mr_vmu_tropic	NXP-Robotics/MR-VMU-TROPIC
NXP MR-NavQ95B	mr_navq95b	NXP-Robotics/NavQ95

Usage

To use these boards in your Zephyr application, you need to add this repository to your west manifest (west.yml) and update your workspace.

1. Add to west.yml

Open your application's west.yml file (usually found in the root of your workspace or application directory) and add the following entries to the remotes and projects sections:

manifest:
  remotes:
    # Add the CogniPilot remote if not already present
    - name: cognipilot
      url-base: https://github.com/CogniPilot

  projects:
    # Add the zephyr_boards repository
    - name: zephyr_boards
      remote: cognipilot
      revision: main
      path: modules/lib/zephyr_boards

2. Update Workspace

Run west update to fetch the new repository:

west update

3. Build Your Application

Once the repository is downloaded, Zephyr's build system will automatically detect the new board definitions (provided the project path is known to west). You can build your application by specifying the board name:

# Example: Building for the NXP NavQ95 board
west build -b mr_navq95b app/your_app_name

Contributing
