Yes:

$ ./tools/buildman/buildman -s am335x_evm -n
boards.cfg is up to date. Nothing to do.
Dry run, so not doing much. But I would do this:

Building current source for 5 boards (4 threads, 1 job per thread)
Build directory: ../current

am335x_evm : 5 boards
Total boards to build for each commit: 5

$ ./tools/buildman/buildman -s am335x_evm$ -n
boards.cfg is up to date. Nothing to do.
Dry run, so not doing much. But I would do this:

Building current source for 1 boards (1 thread, 4 jobs per thread)
Build directory: ../current

am335x_evm$ : 1 boards
