Description

Hello, I'm planning to start working with Nuttx recently. However, I couldn't find documentation on porting Nuttx to a board that isn't supported in the source code. What steps do I need to take to add support for my own board? For example, should I copy files from arch/arm and board/ directories?

Research direction

Compare the existing files under arch/arm and board/ for supported boards to identify the steps a new board port requires. Document the required process and explain whether copying those files is appropriate; done means a newcomer can follow the guidance to add board support.
