Hi @snikeguo, this error message happens when you didn't define you board correctly, see:

CP: boards/dummy/Kconfig to /home/david/nuttxspace/nuttx//Kconfig
...
LN: include/arch/board to /home/david/nuttxspace/nuttx//include
...
LN: arch/arm/src/board to /home/david/nuttxspace/nuttx//src

These "nuttx//" means your board directory wasn't found, also open your board configs/nsh/defconfig and verify if all names are defined correctly.

Another suggestion: run "make savedefconfig" and compare the generated defconfig against your configs/nsh/defconfig, sometimes it helps to spot the issue
