Done. I started typing in "multi-CPU", but that's also overloaded,
so I stumbled on BOMs, since that seems more to the point (that
a board can be assembled using different specific parts).

It still suffers from some awkwardness surrounding what to call
the division between the high-end parts and the low-end.

Choosing words is hard, and suggestions are welcome.

I starting to use the term "SKU", but I'm not sure how commonly
used that term has become.

Regards,


Eric
