 		- The `Cmakelists` help the compiler locate the proper directory to help find the proper header files that are board specific. You need to add the name using `zephyr_include_directories(BOARD_NAME)` to this file. Do note that this `BOARD_NAME` is the same as the name of your board's directory.

 - The `<BOARD_NAME>` folder is where the overlay and pinmap file resides. Inorder to understand how to write DT overlays, lookup `Documentation/overlays.md`. To understand the `<boardname_pinmap.h>` file, go through the existing `variants/ARDUINO_NANO33BLE/arduino_nano_ble_sense_pinmap.h` which shows how to use the overlay nodes inside our C programs using zephyr macros like `GPIO_DT_SPEC_GET`. The zephyr-project documentation on this is pretty extensive as well and worth reading.
