Board files for multiple SKUs based on single custom board

[kk2mkk]

Hi,

I have custom board based on nrf91 but i am going to generate 2 SKUs out of it, the first board consists SIP alone mostly running the SLM application, and my second SKU will have different peripherals (eeprom, fuel gauge etc...) around the nrf91, so in this case what should be my approach in creating the board files, define single set of board files and separate overlay file for each SKU or i need to generate separate set of board files for each SKU?

regards

Hello KK, 

I would recommend making two different boards to separate these and to minimize failure.

Kind regards,

Are you suggesting me to create two different board files(i mean DTS files residing in the path (~\ncs\zephyr\boards\arm\)?

Yes, that is correct. 

boards/arm/SKU1
├── board.cmake
├── CMakeLists.txt
├── doc
│   ├── plank.png
│   └── index.rst
├── Kconfig.board
├── Kconfig.defconfig
├── SKU1_defconfig
├── SKU1.dts
└── SKU1.yaml

This way you can easily add and remove sensors from SKU2 without touching SKU1
