Hi everyone,

I have noticed discrepancies in the names of the CFG files, which could confuse 
users of OpenOCD. Example: at91sam9260.cfg vs. sam7x256.cfg

Maybe we need a naming convention. There are a few things that could be 
addressed:

1. Capitalization: Should we start to use capitalization to reflect the actual 
name that manufacturers use? Example: AT91SAM9260.cfg vs. at91sam9260.cfg

2. Manufacturer name prefixed to files to group them, e.g. 
/target/Atmel_AT91SAM9260.cfg or /target/Atmel/AT91SAM9260.cfg. See 
samsung_s3c2410.cfg. The same should apply to the board directory, e.g. 
/board/Atmel_AT91SAM9260-EK.cfg or /board/Atmel/AT91SAM9260-EK.cfg

3. Complete CPU name, vs. abbreviated name. IF a CFG file covers a range of 
CPUs, maybe it needs a common denominator name, e.g. AT91SAM7S.cfg or 
AT91SAM7Sxxx.cfg. Then, if a different script addresses a particular CPU, the 
CFG will have the full name, e.g. AT91SAM7S256.cfg

Regards,
