I thought that would be too confusing with the architecture name. All the boards with ARM architecture cores are arm boards in that sense.

This is a board sub-directory for the ARM Ltd supplied development boards i.e. VENDOR=armltd.

I really dont mind what it's called, or whether it has the word arm in it.

How about vendor001 to allow other vendor sub-directories, whatever their architecture?

The convention is that names in board/ are vendor names, not architectures, so board/arm/ should be clear enough.

Yes, I understood your intention, btu armltd is ugly and nobody else uses it.

I think it makes sense to call this directory "armltd". Just my 2 cents.

PATCH 1/1 Move ARM supplied dev boards to new board/armltd directory

I think it makes sense to call this directory "armltd". Just my 2 cents.

Linux does not use this, and no other code I am aware of uses this. And here it's not necessary either. If we introduce such a name, we'd probably have to change all other vendoe names to include the respective Ltd., Inc., Corp., GmbH, AG, SARL, ... parts as well.

Please don't.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Linux has no vendor specific (board) directory.

Fine with me. I just wanted to express, that calling it "arm" might be a little misleading as Peter already mentioned. But it shouldn't be a big deal, so let's just call it "arm".

Best regards,
Stefan
