board-bringup

board-bringup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from beriberikix/zephyr-agent-skills. It costs 65 tokens per session (645 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for adding a custom hardware board to Zephyr, an operating system for resource-constrained devices such as microcontrollers. It uses Zephyr's Hardware Model v2 files and conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating a Zephyr board definition or porting Zephyr to custom hardware. It covers board files, Kconfig, CMake, device-tree settings, revisions, and a basic build check.
Why use it?
It shows which metadata, build settings, hardware description, and revision files a new board needs. This reduces uncertainty when bringing custom hardware into Zephyr.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

board-bringup scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/board_yaml_lint.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Zephyr Board Bringup (HWMv2)

Bring your custom hardware into the Zephyr ecosystem using modern Hardware Model v2 standards.

Core Workflows

1. Planning the Structure

Organize your board files by vendor and board name.

2. Defining Configuration

Implement the essential Kconfig and CMake logic.

  • Reference: board_files.md
  • Key Tools: Kconfig.board, _defconfig, CMakeLists.txt.

3. Managing Revisions & Variants

Handle hardware iterations and SoC variants cleanly.

  • Reference: hwmv2_structure.md
  • Key Tools: Multi-revision board.yml, revision-specific overlays.

Quick Start (Board Skeleton)

boards/<vendor>/<board>/
  board.yml
  <board>_defconfig
  <board>.dts
  Kconfig.board
  Kconfig.defconfig
  CMakeLists.txt

Validation Checklist

  • board.yml defines board name, SoC, and revisions consistently.
  • west build -b <board> samples/hello_world completes successfully.
  • DTS and defconfig settings are applied in the generated build output.
  • Revision-specific overlays are selected correctly when building a non-default revision.

Automation Tools

Examples & Templates

Best Practices

  • Use _common.dtsi: Share devicetree definitions across all board revisions.
  • Follow HWMv2: Avoid the legacy board structure (Kconfig.defconfig, etc.).
  • Keep it minimal: Only define what is unique to the board; let the SoC files handle chip-level configuration.

Resources

  • References:
    • hwmv2_structure.md: Directory layout and board.yml.
    • board_files.md: Kconfig, defconfig, and CMake configuration.
  • Scripts:
    • board_yaml_lint.py: Structural checker for board metadata.
  • Assets:
    • board_yml_template.yml: Minimal board metadata template.

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
