Next, you will need a default config file. You may start with
10m50_defconfig, modify the options and save it.

You will need to change the names of board header file and device tree,
and select the drivers with menuconfig.

There is a selection of "Provider of DTB for DT control" in the Device
Tree Control menu.
-( ) Separate DTB for DT control, will cat the dtb to end of u-boot

Please change the SDRAM base and size to match your board. The base
should be cached virtual address, for Nios II with MMU it is 0xCxxx_xxxx
to 0xDxxx_xxxx.

You will need to change the environment variables location and setting,
too. You may change other configs to fit your board.
