Building and Generating U-Boot images
=====================================
Please refer to the U-Boot build documentation for detailed instructions on
-how to build U-Boot images.
-
-Once U-Boot images are built, the Linux kernel image needs to be converted
-into a format that U-Boot understands:
-
-```
-<uboot-dir>/tools/mkimage -A riscv -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x80200000 -e 0x80200000 -n Linux -d \
- <linux_build_directory>arch/riscv/boot/Image \
- <linux_build_directory>/arch/riscv/boot/uImage
-```

-Copy the uImage to your tftpboot server path if network boot is required.
