NXP Robotics SDK — Documentation

The NXP Robotics SDK provides validated software support for NXP's mobile-robotics platforms — from board bring-up and firmware flashing to on-device AI, connectivity, and robotics middleware. This portal collects the guides for each supported board. They are organized per platform, and within each platform grouped by type — Overview, User Manual, Application Notes, Middleware, Flight Stack, and Quick Start — so the right document for the board in use can be found quickly. Topics that apply across several boards live under system/.
