I use FreeBSD to build NuttX.
My major target are several ARM platforms, SAMD21, SAM4, RP2040.
I also build for ESP32.
But I have a very static build jail.

Hi,

which toolchain do you use for those platform? A common one for all ARM
platforms? Something from ports or something self built?

I tested builds for RP2040 only, using devel/gcc-arm-embedded port
invoked with

gmake CROSSDEV=/usr/local/gcc-arm-embedded-10.3-2021.10/bin/arm-none-eabi- PICO_SDK_PATH=/wrk/pico/pico-sdk

> I also build for ESP32.

The same question... and I am using devel/xtensa-esp32-elf port invoked
with

gmake CROSSDEV=/usr/local/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin/xtensa-esp32-elf-

> But I have a very static build jail.

Could you shed more light here? I have a jail for building NuttX too,
with only minimal amount of ports to build it. I'd just like to convert
it into a port, so anybody wishing to try it could just do usual 'make
install' in devel/apache-nuttx directory (or install pre-built package
if preferred).
