Hi Danial,

Is it possible to use an OR condition for the "REQUIRES =" tag in a specs file?

No. But there are two alternatives use to work well for us. Assume, you want to express something like

REQUIRES = versatilepb | pbx

First, you may revisit the reason of why the OS condition is needed - mostly it's because the two alternatives have something in common. For example, a certain device accessed by the target, let's say pl0505, is available on the 'versatilepb' as well as on 'pbx' platforms. So why not introducing 'pl050' as a new SPEC value? Then the above declaration would become

REQUIRES = pl050

To avoid the manual enumeration of all spec details of 'versatilepb' in '<build-dir>/etc/specs.conf', you can introduce a 'mk/spec-versatilepb.mk' file that extends the 'SPECS' variable with all parts that are available on the 'versatilebp' platform. Just take a look at 'base/mk/spec-platform_versatilepb.mk' to see how this works.

Second, you can use two 'target.mk' files, each residing in a different subdirectory. Each is only extending the 'REQUIRES' variable by its specific value ('REQUIRES += versatilepb' respectively 'REQUIRES += pbx'), and includes a common 'target.inc' file ('include $(PRG_DIR)/../target.inc') with all of the common parts of both targets. For an example, you may have a look at 'os/src/ldso/target.inc' and 'os/src/ldso/{x86_32,x86_64,arm}/target.mk'.
