Configuration reference

NSX reads four files. Three you write, one it writes for you.

• nsx.yml The app manifest. Names the app, the boards it supports, the toolchain and the modules it depends on directly.
• nsx-module.yaml Module metadata. Declares what a module is, what it builds, what it needs and what it is compatible with.
• board.yaml Board descriptor. Describes the SoC, the CPU ABI and the toolchains a board can be built with. A board may inherit from another and apply deltas.
• nsx.lock The resolution lock. Records, per board, the exact commit and content hash of every module an nsx sync would materialize. NSX writes it; you do not edit it by hand.

Each table is checked against the loader by a test, so a field that changes in the code and not here fails the build rather than going quietly stale.
