For board/altera/socfpga, its referring to Altera dev kit. When another vendor, example like Xilinx, fabricated a board with SOCFPGA chip, then it will have another folder called board/xilinx/socfpga. > use the same configuration which seems to me weird. > > If yes, then why these files are autogenerated if the same config can > be use for > all boards? > Probably an example will clear your doubt. When the board is fabricated, the pin mux used will be fixed. You won't need to change it until you fabricated a new board. Hope this info helps. Thanks Chin Liang > Thanks, > > Michal > > >
