@acassis @xiaoxiang781216 is there a simple way to test the CI locally?

[xiaoxiang781216]

not all board support common folder, it is wrong to add CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_COMMON into ALL defconfig.

[trns1997]

I still need to test, but if we use the exported archive (from make export) to build apps we have the error where it says cannot fine libboard.a. I am not sure it is true for all boards though soo I will test have to test that out.

hey @xiaoxiang781216, i was thinking of addressing this PR finally. I wanted your input regarding this discussing. Do you thins adding CONFIG_ARCH_BOARD_COMMON=y to boards that support common folder is acceptable? For now i was thinking of adding it to the STM32 boards and XMC4, or is it generally not a good idea and we want the user to be responsible for setting this option?

1. launch the docker used by ci from here:
   https://github.com/apache/nuttx/pkgs/container/nuttx%2Fapache-nuttx-ci-linux
2. Download nuttx/apps git
3. run the follow command:

cd nuttx/tools/ci
./cibuild.sh -c -A -R testlist/arm-01.dat

replace arm-01.dat with the test suite you want to run.

I simply called the testbuild.sh in the tools directory to test if the build process works, which is more or less what you suggest but the fail variable always returns 1 is that normal for master?

@trns1997 are you planing to adding a new PR about this matter?

I think it is a good idea to check if "make export" is working, but we need some way to confirm that exported file is working too.

I am not sure, honestly i had forgotten about this PR. We could consider this approach #10388 (comment) . Let me know what you think, if you want i can look into it and create a new PR.
