Summary

Use case: Zephyr user is trying to find a second source, or board options, based on a set of SoC/board features.

Currently it is a bit tedious to compare boards based on a given set of features, one has to open each board site to see the table of supported features and then has to compare based on these.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a grid/table overview that shows boards and their respective features, for example like this (or transposed):

Board \ Feature Feature 0 Feature 1 Feature 2 Feature 3 Feature 4 Feature 5
Board 0 no on-chip on-board on-chip on-chip on-chip
Board 1 on-board on-chip on-board on-chip on-chip on-chip
Board 2 no no on-board on-chip on-chip on-chip
Board 3 on-board no on-board on-chip on-chip on-chip
Board 4 no on-chip on-board on-chip no on-chip

Input from discussion with @kartben at ZDS'25:

  • Could be done as another view on the "Supported Boards" site next to "card" and "compact" view. E.g. "grid" or "table"
  • Filtered Features, which are a must, could be either listed in the leftmost columns (or top rows if transposed), or they could be removed entirely to make the whole grid less crowded.
  • All necessary data to build the table should already be generated, so this feature would simply be another representation of the existing information.
  • Nice-to-have: Easy "download" of a filtered table to be able to include it in corporate docs/excel sheets for managers/product owners/etc.

Alternatives

Idea from @kartben: add an "you might also be interested in..."-section with a list of similar boards on the pages of each board, like webshops do for products.
