Hi
I work on an old project that is based on the v1.6.5 tag. Unfortunately there is a problem with cloning NxWidgets as part of PX4NuttX.
For testing I did a clean checkout of v1.6.5 and tried to build the code without any of my modifications.
A Git username and password is requested when doing the first build but it seams that the NxWidgets module no longer can be found on git.
I’m not sure how git submodules work, but my guess is that the Px4Nuttx submodule includes a second level submodule NxWidgets and this module has not been included when the Px4Nuttx submodule was archived before a Nuttx-update
here is what i have done
sim@ubuntu:~/repos/firmware-test$ git clone https://github.com/PX4/Firmware.git

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.
If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
git checkout -b <new-branch-name>

Failed to recurse into submodule path 'NuttX'I can understand that there may be less motivation for v1.6.5 support, but perhaps someone has a work-around I can use?
