The presence of this file means that the folder is a keyboard target and can be used in `make` commands. This is where you setup the build environment for your keyboard and configure the default set of features.
The `rules.mk` file can also be placed in a sub-folder, and its reading order is as follows:
* `keyboards/top_folder/rules.mk`
* `keyboards/top_folder/sub_1/rules.mk`
* `keyboards/top_folder/sub_1/sub_2/rules.mk`
* `keyboards/top_folder/sub_1/sub_2/sub_3/rules.mk`
* `keyboards/top_folder/sub_1/sub_2/sub_3/sub_4/rules.mk`
* `keyboards/top_folder/keymaps/a_keymap/rules.mk`
* `users/a_user_folder/rules.mk`
* `common_features.mk`
Many of the settings written in the `rules.mk` file are interpreted by `common_features.mk`, which sets the necessary source files and compiler options.
?> See `build_keyboard.mk` and `common_features.mk` for more details.
### `<keyboard_name.c>`
