nRF Connect SDK missing other board modules

[ShahinHaque97-CT]

Hello,

The nRF Connect SDK, although it is used for Nordic IC, it runs on Zephyr RTOS. I would like to use this SDK for other boards too however there is missing files for the other boards. The nRF Connect SDK contains the board files in Zephyr/boards, however some files are missing for example, lets say the iMX-RT1050 is to be used.

The board file is present in C:\ncs\v2.3.0\zephyr\boards\arm\mimxrt1050_evk

However C:\ncs\v2.3.0\modules\hal is missing the nxp folder.

How would I go about updating the modules?

NCS is not designed to be used with non-Nordic boards. In fact the Nordic 5-Clause license that most of its code uses would potentially prohibit it.

Can you share some info as to why you'd like to use NCS on an NXP board?

Just looking into the NFC reader using the ST25R3911B, Which I have running on the Nordic MCUs, ideally I would like to port this over but can be re-written if needed.

You would need to create your own implementation without any of the source files.
