Currently the following software configs are available:

Selecting configs for <label mod_name>MOD_NAME>/label>-fsl:

$ ptxdist platform configs/platforms/@mod_name_code@/<label mod_name_code>MOD_NAME_CODE>-fsl/platformconfig
$ ptxdist select configs/platforms/@mod_name_code@/@mod_name_code@-fsl/ptxconfig
$ ptxdist go
$ ptxdist images 

Selecting configs for @mod_name@:

$ ptxdist platform configs/platforms/@mod_name_code@/@mod_name_code@/platformconfig
