I also had had a similar comment on an earlier series: we should avoid just copying these
instructions verbatim into every new board: if these are indeed identical to Rockchip’s EVB
(i.e. if the board-vendor completely relies on the chip-vendor's tools), they should reference
back to the EVB’s README instead of duplicating the content.
