here you mix board vendor and distributor as example you can buy a atmel
ref design at DigiKey or resistor, soc, ddr, etc...

it's not the TI board's name and there is no need to specify in each board
name the arch as it's easy to known it via Makefile or config.h
and as repeat multiple time on the ml we prefer shorter name
