+Boot media layout
+-----------------
+
+The boot ROM only checks a boot medium for a limited number of pages or blocks
+for data. It is not possible to place these blocks randomly.
+
+* eMMC/SD card:
+
+ Rockchip uses a unified GPT partition layout for it's open source products.
+ With this GPT partition layout U-Boot can be compatible with other components,
+ like miniloader, trusted-os, arm-trusted-firmware.
+
+ There are some documents about partitions in the link below.
+ https://web.archive.org/web/20260501050119/https://opensource.rock-chips.com/wiki_Partitions
+
+ Write u-boot-rockchip.bin to block offset 64 (block size: 512 byte).
+
+* SPI:
+
+ Write u-boot-rockchip-spi.bin to flash offset 0 (unit: bytes).
+
+* NAND:
+
+ The closed source usbplug binaries and RKMTD use the NAND erase blocks [2-6]
+ for TPL/SPL.
