+Booting 32bit SoC boards
+------------------------
 
-Burn U-Boot images to NAND
---------------------------
+The build command will generate the following:
+- u-boot.bin
+- spl/u-boot.bin
 
-Write the following to the NAND device:
+U-Boot can boot UniPhier 32bit SoC boards by itself.  Flash the generated images
+to the storage device (NAND or eMMC) on your board.
 
  - spl/u-boot-spl.bin at the offset address 0x00000000
  - u-boot.bin         at the offset address 0x00020000
 
-or
+The `u-boot-with-spl.bin` is the concatenation of the two (with appropriate
+padding), so you can also do:
 
  - u-boot-with-spl.bin at the offset address 0x00000000
 
 If a TFTP server is available, the images can be easily updated.
 Just copy the u-boot-spl.bin and u-boot.bin to the TFTP public directory,
-and then run the following command at the U-Boot command line:
+and run the following command at the U-Boot command line:
 
-  => run nandupdate
+To update the images in NAND:

-Burn U-Boot images to eMMC
---------------------------
+To update the images in eMMC:
 
-Write the following to the Boot partition 1 of the eMMC device:
+    => run emmcupdate
 
- - spl/u-boot-spl.bin at the offset address 0x00000000
