I thought that would be too confusing with the architecture name.
All the boards with ARM architecture cores are arm boards in that sense.

This is a board sub-directory for the ARM Ltd supplied development boards
i.e. VENDOR=armltd.

I really dont mind what it's called, or whether it has the word arm in it.

How about vendor001 to allow other vendor sub-directories, whatever their
architecture?

Regards

Peter
