+2. Booting via Serial Download Protocol (SDP)
+---------------------------------------------
+
+The mx6ulevk board can boot from USB OTG port using the SDP, target will
+enter in SDP mode in case an SD Card is not connect or boot switches are
+set as below:
+
+Sw602: 0 1
+SW601: x x x x
+
+The following tools can be used to boot via SDP, for both tools you must
+connect an USB cable in USB OTG port.
+
+- Method 1: Universal Update Utility (uuu)
+
+The UUU binary can be downloaded in release tab from link below:
+https://github.com/NXPmicro/mfgtools
+
+The following script should be created to boot SPL + u-boot-dtb.img binaries:
+
+  $ cat uuu_script
+    uuu_version 1.1.4
+
+    SDP: boot -f SPL
+    SDPU: write -f u-boot-dtb.img -addr 0x877fffc0
+    SDPU: jump -addr 0x877fffc0
+    SDPU: done
+
+Please note that the address above is calculated based on SYS_TEXT_BASE address:
+
+0x877fffc0 = 0x87800000 (SYS_TEXT_BASE) - 0x40 (U-Boot proper Header size)
+
+Power on the target and run the following command from U-Boot root directory:
+
+  $ sudo ./uuu uuu_script
+
+- Method 2: imx usb loader tool (imx_usb):
+
+The imx_usb_loader tool can be downloaded in link below:
+https://github.com/boundarydevices/imx_usb_loader
+
+Build the source code and run the following commands from U-Boot root
+directory:
+
+  $ sudo ./imx_usb SPL
+  $ sudo ./imx_usb u-boot-dtb.img
