Description
### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
## Proposal
Implement a **multi-repository registration and discovery mechanism** for NuttX:
### Describe the solution you'd like
### 1. Registration System
- Script to register NuttX instances with version identifiers (e.g., `nuttx_v1`, `user_nuttx`)
- Store metadata (path, git commit, branch) in centralized location
- Example: `python register-nuttx.py nuttx_v1 --path /path/to/nuttx --git-commit `
### 2. CMake Integration
- Create `FindNuttX.cmake` module for `find_package()` support
- Usage: `find_package(nuttx_v1 REQUIRED CONFIG)`
- Support version/branch specification
### 3. Flexible Board Management
```cmake
# Official board
board_set(${NUTTX_BASE}/boards/arm/stm32h7/stm32h750xb)
# Custom board
board_set(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/boards/custom_board)
```
4. Decoupled Application Development
Applications can be anywhere, not confined to apps/ repository
Clear dependency declaration on NuttX versions
Example
Register:
```
cd D:\nuttx_workspace\nuttx
python register-nuttx.py nuttx_v1 --label "main-branch"
```
User Application (E:/nuttx_app/CMakeLists.txt, the nuttx in D:\nuttx_workspace\nuttx ):
```
find_package(nuttx_v1 REQUIRED CONFIG)
project(MyApp)
# Use official board
board_set(${NUTTX_BASE}/boards/arm/stm32h7/stm32h750xb)
# Or use custom board
# board_set(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/boards/custom_board)
add_executable(myapp app/main.c)
target_link_libraries(myapp nuttx_libs)
```
