Any specific reason why 'make clean' had been disabled for app/hhopen?

Yes, I agree that some full fledged demos will make sense as well.

As long as such demos are clearly marked as target board specific, I 
have no objections.

I'll run a test on your updates soon and let you know the result. Thanks

Could be done. Although, the Configurator's function to create an
