Hi Abner,
That's right, Platform/AMD/MinBoardPkg will contains all
modules/library/drivers required for AMD boards which are based on
MinPlatformPkg framework.
Thanks

I am good with this naming. So we will have AMD boards that leverage
MinPlatform under MinBoardPkg. Those boards which are not Minplatform based can
just stay under Platforms/AMD (e.g., OverdriveBoard.), is my understanding
correct Abdul?
