=== Adding a new board ===

This is a two step process. If you mainboard already exists, skip to next section.

==== Adding a new vendor ====

Create a directory in src/mainboard with the same name as vendor name. Add to src/mainboard/Kconfig
new vendor entry, the rest of this example uses "foo" vendor.

config VENDOR_FOO
bool "Foo"

Add also a include for new Kconfig file which holds the vendor motherboards in the vendor directory

source "src/mainboard/foo/Kconfig"

Create a src/mainboard/foo/Kconfig, copy from other vendor, and change the vendor name. Delete all mainboards.

==== Adding a new motherboard ====

Asume that vendor name is foo and board type is bar. Add new configuration item in src/mainboard/foo/Kconfig

config BOARD_FOO_BAR
bool "BAR"

Add include for board specific config:

source "src/mainboard/foo/bar/Kconfig"
