+- **platform_asic**
+  - A data file which defined the ASIC vendor fact about the platform
+  - Should contains lines and each line is a ASIC vendor name, such as broadcom/broadcom-dnx/mellanox/etc. It actually supported multiple lines with multiple vendor names, which is extremely seldom.
+  - Example
+    ```
+    broadcom-dnx
+    ```
+  - You can get a list of the ASIC platforms by `ls -b platform | cat`. Currently the options are
+    ```
+    barefoot
+    broadcom
+    cavium
+    centec
+    centec-arm64
+    generic
+    innovium
+    marvell
+    marvell-arm64
+    marvell-armhf
+    mellanox
+    nephos
+    p4
+    vs
+    ```
+
+    Also support
+    ```
+    broadcom-dnx
+    ```

 - **platform_env.conf**
   - Configuration file to specify the environment parameters for platform modules.
     - NOTE: This file is optional. Needs to be present if platform needs to override default parameters for its modules.
