The following tables list all boards and build targets for Nordic Semiconductor's hardware platforms.

The build target column uses several entries for multi-core hardware platforms:

* For core type:

  * ``cpuapp`` - When you choose this target, you build the application core firmware.
  * ``cpunet`` - When you choose this target, you build the network core firmware.

* For usage of Cortex-M Security Extensions (CMSE):

  * Entries without ``*/ns`` (``cpuapp``) - When you choose this target, you build the application core firmware as a single execution environment that does not use CMSE (:ref:`Trusted Firmware-M (TF-M) <ug_tfm>`).
  * Entries with ``*/ns`` (for example, ``cpuapp/ns``) - When you choose this target, you build the application with CMSE.
    The application core firmware is placed in Non-Secure Processing Environment (NSPE) and uses Secure Processing Environment (SPE) for security features.
    By default, the build system automatically includes :ref:`Trusted Firmware-M (TF-M) <ug_tfm>` in SPE and merges it with NSPE.
