+Doing a simple build
+====================
+
+In some cases you just want to build a single board and get the full output, use
+the -w option, for example:
+
+   buildman -o /tmp/build --board sandbox -w
+
+This will write the full build into /tmp/build including object files.
+
+
 Other options
 =============
 
 Buildman has various other command line options. Try --help to see them.
 
+To find out what architecture or toolchain prefix buildman will use for a build,
+see the -a and -A options.

 When doing builds, Buildman's return code will reflect the overall result:
 
     0 (success)     No errors or warnings found
