The current method of selecting the board to build is a bit error-prone, e.g. with "^sandbox$" it actually builds 5 boards (all of those in the sandbox architecture).
OK, hold up. You've reminded me of something that's been broken for a while and I forgot to follow up on. Which is that at some point we stopped applying regex to either only the defconfig name, or stopped checking that as the first one. The example in question used to only build sandbox_defconfig, but now (and for some time) has built all of arch or soc sandbox.
Are you sure we even used just the defconfig name? I don't recall that. Do you know when this was?
Since 'sandbox' is an arch name this will build anything sandbox board, and I think that is intended.
That said, I'm not sure that at the end of the day I'm opposed to the --board flag instead.
OK.
