 !!Note ->!!  With custom builds, the ''.config'' Buildroot config file determines what architecture is used.  The build-system command ''./scripts/build board_type'' allows you to qualify that ''.config'' options to a specific board type.  In other words, building with ''./scripts/build genx86_64-serial'' will not by itself generate a x86_64 image, you must first ''cp x86_64-configs/astlinux-ast11.config .config'' to make it happen.
