Why does yotta prefer board targets as opposed to chip targets ?
Why does yotta prefer board targets as opposed to chip targets ? It would seem more versatile with the latter.

yotta targets contain descriptions of more than just the chip: they can contain information about how pins are wired up, what oscillators are being used, and what external hardware is available.
Most board targets inherit from a chip target though, so if you have a custom board using a chip which is supported on a different board, it should simply be a matter of forking the board target, renaming it for your own board, and tweaking the board-level configuration (see here: http://yottadocs.mbed.com/tutorial/targets.html#inheriting – actually the description there could use an update: there is now a kinetis-k64-gcc target which the frdm-k64f one inherits from)
Are there yotta targets for all ARM mbed-enabled boards ? I couldn't find a target for STM32L073 Nucleo board. I can't even find the target for the chip. What would be my options regarding this board ?
posted by 18 Mar 2016At the moment there are only targets for (and only support in mbed OS for) a small sub-set of boards: you can find the boards with support, or experimental support, and links to some relevant targets for each of them here: https://www.mbed.com/en/development/hardware/boards/
