+ U-Boot for the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer device family
+ =====================================================
+
+ ``DISCLAMER!`` Moving your ASUS Eee Pad Transformer/Slider to use U-Boot
+ assumes replacement of the vendor ASUS bootloader. Vendor Android firmwares
+ will no longer be able to run on the device. This replacement IS reversible.
+
+ Quick Start
+ -----------
+
+ - Build U-Boot
+ - Process U-Boot
+ - Flashing U-Boot into the eMMC
+ - Boot
+ - Self Upgrading
+
+ Build U-Boot
+ ------------
+
+ Device support is implemented by applying config fragment to a generic board
+ defconfig. Valid fragments are ``tf101.config``, ``tf101g.config`` and
+ ``sl101.config``.
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-
+ $ make transformer_t20_defconfig tf101.config # For TF101
+ $ make
+
+ After the build succeeds, you will obtain the final ``u-boot-dtb-tegra.bin``
+ image, ready for further processing.
+
+ Process U-Boot
+ --------------
+
+ ``DISCLAMER!`` All questions related to the re-crypt work should be asked
+ in re-crypt repo issues. NOT HERE!
+
+ re-crypt is a tool that processes the ``u-boot-dtb-tegra.bin`` binary into form
+ usable by device. This process is required only on the first installation or
+ to recover the device in case of a failed update.
+
+ Permanent installation can be performed either by using the nv3p protocol or by
+ pre-loading just built U-Boot into RAM.
+
+ Processing for the NV3P protocol
+ ********************************
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ git clone https://gitlab.com/grate-driver/re-crypt.git
+ $ cd re-crypt # place your u-boot-dtb-tegra.bin here
+ $ ./re-crypt.py --dev tf101
+
+ The script will produce a ``repart-block.bin`` ready to flash.
+
+ Processing for pre-loaded U-Boot
+ ********************************
+
+ The procedure is the same, but the ``--split`` argument is used with the
+ ``re-crypt.py``. The script will produce ``bct.img`` and ``ebt.img`` ready
+ to flash.
+
+ Flashing U-Boot into the eMMC
+ -----------------------------
+
+ ``DISCLAMER!`` All questions related to NvFlash should be asked in the proper
+ place. NOT HERE! Flashing U-Boot will erase all eMMC, so make a backup before!
+
+ Permanent installation can be performed either by using the nv3p protocol or by
+ pre-loading just built U-Boot into RAM.
+
+ Flashing with the NV3P protocol
+ *******************************
+
+ Nv3p is a custom Nvidia protocol used to recover bricked devices. Devices can
+ enter it either by using ``wheelie`` with the correct ``blob.bin`` file or by
+ pre-loading vendor bootloader with the Fusée Gelée.
+
+ With nv3p, ``repart-block.bin`` is used. It contains BCT and a bootloader in
+ encrypted state in form, which can just be written RAW at the start of eMMC.
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ wheelie --blob blob.bin
+ $ nvflash --resume --rawdevicewrite 0 1024 repart-block.bin
+
+ When flashing is done, reboot the device.
+
+ Flashing with a pre-loaded U-Boot
+ *********************************
+
+ U-Boot pre-loaded into RAM acts the same as when it was booted "cold". Currently
+ U-Boot supports bootmenu entry fastboot, which allows to write a processed copy
+ of U-Boot permanently into eMMC.
+
+ While pre-loading U-Boot, hold the ``volume down`` button which will trigger
+ the bootmenu. There, select ``fastboot`` using the volume and power buttons.
+ After, on host PC, do:
+
+ .. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ fastboot flash 0.1 bct.img
+ $ fastboot flash 0.2 ebt.img
+ $ fastboot reboot
+
+ Device will reboot.
+
+ Boot
+ ----
+
+ To boot Linux, U-Boot will look for an ``extlinux.conf`` on MicroSD and then on
+ eMMC. Additionally, if the Volume Down button is pressed while booting, the
+ device will enter bootmenu. Bootmenu contains entries to mount MicroSD and eMMC
+ as mass storage, fastboot, reboot, reboot RCM, poweroff, enter U-Boot console
+ and update bootloader (check the next chapter).
+
+ Flashing ``repart-block.bin`` eliminates vendor restrictions on eMMC and allows
++the user to use/partition it in any way the user desires.
+
+ Self Upgrading
+ --------------
+
+ Place your ``u-boot-dtb-tegra.bin`` on the first partition of the MicroSD card
+ and insert it into the tablet. Enter bootmenu, choose update the bootloader
+ option with the Power button and U-Boot should update itself. Once the process
+ is completed, U-Boot will ask to press any button to reboot.
