+>Some packages such as device drivers and HAL packages are
+hardware-specific, and generally it makes no sense to add such
+packages to a configuration unless the corresponding hardware is
+present on your target system. Typically hardware package selection
+happens automatically when you select your target. The <SPAN
+CLASS="PROPERTY"
+>hardware</SPAN
+>
+property can be used in the body of a <TT
+CLASS="LITERAL"
+>cdl_package</TT
+> command to
+indicate that the package is hardware-specific.</P

+CLASS="NOTE"

+><B
+>Note: </B
+>At the time of writing the <SPAN
+CLASS="PROPERTY"
+>hardware</SPAN
+> property is largely ignored by
+the configuration tools, but this may change in future. Amongst other
+possible changes, for hardware-specific packages such as device
+drivers and HAL packages, the current scheme of generating a
+configuration header file name based purely on the package name may be
+abandoned. Instead all hardware packages would send their
+configuration data to a single header file, <TT
+CLASS="FILENAME"
+>pkgconf/hardware.h</TT
+>. This would make it
+easier for code to obtain details of the current hardware, but
+obviously there are compatibility issues. For now it is recommended
+that all hardware packages specify their configuration header file
+explicitly.</P
