-		Select the board sub-directory name where the board logic resides under
-		the configs/ directory.  Normally, the default is the correct location
-		and you probably not want to change that.  However, if you have selected
-		ARCH_BOARD_CUSTOM, then you will need to tell the build system when
-		the board logic resides.
