+Booting
+^^^^^^^
+
+The default boot process is to load and boot the files ``/uImage`` and
+``/k210.dtb`` off of the first partition of the MMC. For Linux, this will result
+in an output like
+
+.. code-block:: none

+ - 0x000000fff000-0x000001000000 : "env"
+
+To make these changes permanent, save the environment:
+
+.. code-block:: none

+ Saving Environment to SPIFlash... Erasing SPI flash...Writing to SPI flash...done
+ OK
+
+U-Boot will always load the environment from the last 4 KiB of flash.
