doc/README.dfutftp already describes the necessary steps as:

* enable CONFIG_DFU_TFTP
* enable CONFIG_PREBOOT
* put a string like "dfu tftp 0 mmc 0" into the "preboot" env variable

Do you want me to explicitly write that "dfu tftp 0 mtd 0" replaces
the former auto-update functionality?

Best regards

Heinrich
