Chris suggested that a Users Manual include sections on each BSP with
instructions on setting the hardware up, debugging, etc. It makes sense that
this is user facing information specific to a set of BSPs. So in the
outline of
what Chris proposed it would either be in a SPARC > General or SPARC > LEON3
subsection.

Serious software project documentation falls into categories and we need
to honor those. There are internal design and development docs, process
and software engineering docs, and user facing documentation focused
on applications.

We have a "middle tier" of documentation where users are sometimes
developers. But it is probably best to ignore that because it often clouds
how we organize and approach things.

We don't need to mix categories of documentation. This is not what is
expected from the high criticality standards.
