Hi guys, Bruno from Brazil here. I’m newbie to PX4 and I’m trying to change some Nuttx configurations with make px4\_configuration menuconfig. But when I exit the Nuttx menuconfig the build stops due to this Fatal error: Path ‘nuttx-configs/px4\_configuration/nsh/defconfig’ does not exist in ‘HEAD’. Plese, could anyone here say what I am doing wrong? Ps: I have already installed in my PC the kconfig-frontends in usr/local/bin and I already added this to $PATH. ---

When I was messing with some custom hardware configs last week I was getting exactly the same error, that the “defconfig” does not exist in “HEAD”. This error popped up when I used the ./configure.sh inside the directories. The PX4 documented “make _board\_name_ menuconfig” doesn’t even build for me, just crashes, I don’t get to see the NuttX config UI. I’ve installed the PX4 dev env with the script provided in their dev sections. My other post is about not linking issues but I would like to hope it’s a separate issues. Replying so I get updates. ---

Rossos, last night I tryed to use ./configure.sh before make menuconfig, just as a regular Nuttx build, but the script complains about something like “There is no Make.defs file in the specified path”. In my case, when I use make board\_name menuconfig, the menu appears to me and I am able to interact with it, but when I exit I have this output in my terminal: \*\*\* End of the configuration. \*\*\* Execute ‘make’ to start the build or try ‘make help’. nuttx-configs/px4nucleoF767ZI-v1/nsh/defconfig fatal: Path ‘nuttx-configs/px4nucleoF767ZI-v1/nsh/defconfig’ does not exist in ‘HEAD’ Fix up Board Selection After searching inside the project, I saw that this output is due to the script nuttx\_defconf\_tool.sh located in Firmware/platforms/nuttx/NuttX/tools. After some research, I discovered that HEAD variable belongs to Git and now I’m trying to find out how to modify it in order to avoid this Fatal Error. ---
