Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH] board/boundarydevices: remove u-boot from genimage.cfg
Date: Wed,  2 Nov 2016 10:17:43 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161102091743.8494-1-gary.bisson@boundarydevices.com> (raw)

Adding a comment to explain how to update the bootloader since it is
located in NOR flash memory.

Hi,

Just realized that our genimage.cfg can be confusing since it copies
the u-boot binary although the BootROM will always boot from NOR.

Regards,
Gary
