+README for bootloader
+
+
+	Das U-Boot (or just "U-Boot" for short) is Open Source Firmware for
+	Embedded Power Architecture®, ARM, MIPS, x86 and other processors.
+
+	CRUX-ARM uses U-Boot as default bootloader for some devices, like efikamx,
+	cubieboard, cubieboard2, cubox, and maybe more in the future.
+
+	In this repository you'll find all required to convert kernel images from
+	zImage format to uImage, which used by U-Boot. To do that you need to use
+	mkimage, which can be built with the Makefile provided.
+        It's important to note that you must build mkimage with the compiler flags
+	for your host.
+	Also mkimage can convert files like initrd.gz to uInitrd in order to be
+	loaded it by U-Boot at boot stage.
+
+	To generate all the stuff required for a device you'll find a directory for
+	each one. Take a look in "./devices/<yourdevice>" for more information.
