I spent most of my weekend trying to figure out why I was always getting an Unknown for the arduino-cli board list regardless of what board I was using. I managed to track down this issue that notes the FTDI will have a generic VID/PID so will always be Unknown. I was under the impression the board list needed to be successful in order to upload, but that is not the case.
This change makes a clarification note and hopefully saves some people some headaches.
