10 The Nios II port of u-boot is controlled by device tree. Please check
11 out doc/README.fdt-control.
13 To add a new board/configuration (eg, mysystem) to u-boot, you will need
16 1. The device tree source which describes the hardware, dts file.
25 The device tree source must be generated from your qsys/sopc design
30 $ java -jar sopc2dts.jar --force-altr -i mysystem.sopcinfo -o mysystem.dts
35 1. Add "stdout-path=..." property with your serial path to the chosen
38 		stdout-path = &uart_0;
55 You will need to change the names of board header file and device tree,

66 ( ) Separate DTB for DT control, will cat the dtb to end of u-boot
67 binary, output u-boot-dtb.bin. This should be used for production.
69 copies all the u-boot-dtb.bin, not just u-boot.bin.
71 ( ) Embedded DTB for DT control, will include the dtb inside the u-boot
72 binary. This is handy for development, eg, using gdb or nios2-download.
