-Description:
-============
-  It is intended that this makefile be wired in to run as
-  part of a top level linux build. For example, at the
-  time of this writing, if the user types "make gboot" at
-  the top level then in addition to building vmlinux the
-  build system's makefiles will descend into this
-  directory and build the "all:" target of this
-  Makefile. This will have the result of compressing the
-  vmlinux system and producing four separate systems. The
-  following snippet is pulled from this directory's
-  Makefile and describes each system.
-
-  Four systems are availalbe for download to the EVB64120A
-  board.
-
-   1. - ramsys -
-      To be loaded into ram then run. When run
-      it decompresses the "vmlinux" kernel housed in its internal
-      data structures and then jumps to the image which
-      results in a linux kernel boot.
-
-   2. - flashsys -
-      To be loaded into ram so that it can be
-      burned into the onboard flash. Then the board jumpers
-      can be switched so that the next power cycle caused
-      the system in flash to run which then proceeds as
-      described by #1 above.
-      Note: burner.srec is the utility that will allow
-      the user to get this image into flash.
-
-   3. - flashsys2 -
-      To be loaded into ram so that it can be
-      burned into the onboard flash. Then on each power
-      cycle when the standard PMON prompt is presented
-      the user can type `call 0xbf000000` to invoke
-      the system in flash which then proceeds as
-      described by #1 above.
-      Note: burner.srec is the utility that will allow
-      the user to get this image into flash.
-
-   4. - burner.srec -
-      Related to #2 and #3 above.
-
-Example: Running from Ram
-==========================
-
-  In this scenario the compressed system is downloaded
-  into ram and run directly from there. No flash is involved
-  in this scenario. Naturally, the download must be repeated
-  on every power cycle.
-
-  1. At the PMON prompt type `load`
-  2. Assuming you have your host connected to /dev/ttyS0
-     type the following command in a host shell window.
-     `cat ramsys.srec > /dev/ttyS0`
-  3. When the download completes type the following
-     at the PMON prompt: `g`
-
-
-Example: Running from flash: Scenario #1
-========================================
-
-  In this scenario vmlinux runs out of flash code
-  automatically on every power up. This means that
-  standard PMON code (of eprom) never runs.
-
-  1. Place the boot jumpers in the Boot-from-eprom
-     state. This is the normal state and how the jumpers
-     are found when booting PMON.
-
-     Jumper settings. J11 - Removed
-                      J20 - Moved from the 1&2 position to
-                            the 2&3 position instead
-
-  2. Use PMON to "load" the burner.srec image and then
-     run it. This utility will prompt you to download
-     the image that you want burned into the flash
-     part.
-
-  3. Send the flashsys.srec image to the running burner
-     utility. The utililty will indicate when the burn
-     process has completed.
-
-  4. Now switch off power and change the jumpers to
-     the boot-from-flash position. The next power cycle
-     will run the flash based system automatically.
-
-     Jumper settings. J11 - Added.
-                      J20 - Moved from the 2&3 position to
-                            the 1&2 position instead
-
-Example: Running from flash: Scenario #2
-========================================
-
-  In this scenario vmlinux runs out of flash only if the
-  PMON user decides to jump there by issuing a command to
-  PMON. Every power cycle would continue to bring up PMON
-  and a user will have to reissue the jump command to
-  force control transfer to the flash system.
-
-  1. Insure that the boot jumpers are in the Boot-from-eprom
-     state. This is the normal state and how the jumpers
-     are found when booting PMON.
-
-     Jumper settings. J11 - Removed
-                      J20 - Moved from the 1&2 position to
-                            the 2&3 position instead
-
-  2. Use PMON to "load" the burner.srec image and then
-     run it. This utility will prompt you to download
-     the image that you want burned into the flash
-     part.
-
-  3. Send the flashsys2.srec image to the running burner
-     utility. The utililty will indicate when the burn
-     process has completed.
-
-  4. Now that the image is in flash the user can invoke
-     the following PMON command whenever a vmlinux
-     boot is desired:
-
-     call 0xbf000000
