Subject: [PATCH] docs/system/riscv: sifive_u: Update U-Boot instructions
Date: Sat, 11 Sep 2021 23:34:31 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210911153431.10362-1-bmeng.cn@gmail.com> (raw)

In U-Boot v2021.07 release, there were 2 major changes for the
SiFive Unleashed board support:

- Board config name was changed from sifive_fu540_defconfig to
  sifive_unleashed_defconfig
- The generic binman tool was used to generate the FIT image
  (combination of U-Boot proper, DTB and OpenSBI firmware)

which make the existing U-Boot instructions out of date.

Update the doc with latest instructions.
