From 7e6fb9209e0e7d08e420f33ecab79b51421ca418 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Eggleton Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2011 14:33:16 +0100 Subject: README.hardware: remove u-boot flashing instructions for mpc8315e-rdb Upgrading u-boot is apparently not necessary with current board revisions, and these instructions may not work properly anyway (our toolchain seems not to be able to compile u-boot in the way described), and given that they are potentially risky they should be removed.
