                     Of the available architectures, <filename>qemu</filename> is the only architecture
                     that causes the script to prompt you further for an actual architecture.
                     In every other way, this architecture is representative of how creating a BSP for

+                    an actual machine would work.
                     The reason the example uses this architecture is because it is an emulated architecture
                     and can easily be followed without requiring actual hardware.
