  Compare to any other defconfig: it will produce a number of files in the images
directory.  For instance, a typical TI OMAP will have MLO, u-boot.img, uImage
and rootfs.ext2.  The first three should go into the FAT partition, the last
on into an ext2 partition.  For RPi it's the same thing, except that the
number of images is a bit larger.

  That said, it's a good idea to have a readme.txt in the board directory to
explain how to put everything into a bootable image.
