The U-Boot Documentation
========================
This is the top level of the U-Boot's documentation tree. U-Boot
documentation, like the U-Boot itself, is very much a work in progress;
that is especially true as we work to integrate our many scattered
documents into a coherent whole. Please note that improvements to the
documentation are welcome; join the U-Boot list at http://lists.denx.de
if you want to help out.

is taken directly from the U-Boot source, with supplemental material added
as needed (or at least as we managed to add it - probably *not* all that is
needed).
