board-bringup

Zephyr board bringup requires organizing files under a vendor/board hierarchy. You need to define board.yml metadata with vendor and SoC details, then provide Kconfig.board, board-specific defconfig, and CMakeLists.txt files to standardize the layout.

HWMv2 is the hardware model standard used in Zephyr board bringup. It provides structured board.yml metadata for organizing vendor and board hierarchies, aligning Kconfig, defconfig, and CMake workflows across hardware revisions.

Yes, board.yml supports multiple hardware revisions and variants. You can define revision-friendly naming and metadata within board.yml to manage hardware iterations throughout the Zephyr board bringup process.

Required files for Zephyr board bringup include board.yml, Kconfig.board, a board-specific defconfig, and CMakeLists.txt. These establish the core configuration assets needed to integrate the SoC with HWMv2 workflows.

Zephyr board bringup aligns Kconfig, defconfig, and CMake logic with HWMv2 workflows. This integration standardizes the build configuration process and reduces the risk of manual errors when setting up custom hardware.
