+The files in this directory are used to describe the basic
+configuration of a board. (Note that we use "board" in its loosest
+sense, referring to either a target or host). The structure of these
+files is very similar, and I would suggest that you follow this when
+writing a new one.
+
+Two files need to be created for a given board; the appropriate file
+in this directory, and one in devo/dejagnu/config. The one in here is
+used to set up entries in the data array describing the board, while
+the one in devo/dejagnu/config is used to describe the actions used to
+actually communicate with the board.
+
+A third file (the site-specific machine file) can be used to describe
+any site-specific functionality, such as port numbers, serial devices,
+etc.
