+### BOARD
+
+**Description:**
+
+Board identifier that passes to a compile option as -DARDUINO_$(BOARD).
+
+Usually can be auto-detected as `build.board` from `boards.txt`.
+
+If not found build.board entry, use upper-case converted "$(ARCHITECTURE)_$(BOARD_TAG)".
+
+**Example:**
+
+```Makefile
+BOARD = AVR_LEONARD
+```
