The level <boards> describes a development board that is the subject of a Board Support Pack (BSP). It contains information about the board vendor and name, a brief description, images to be displayed on web pages, and different types of documentation. The microcontroller devices that are mounted on the board or that are compatible with the ones mounted are also specified. A list of features concludes the <boards> section.
A development board is described by the following properties:
Example
Grouping element for boards. No more than one such group can exist in a Pack. None is required.
